CORNELL SWAMPS
PENN RUNNERS IN
PARAMOUNT PARK
Ithacans Send First Seven
Men Across Line in Dual
Race-Potter Leads the
Field.

Cornell University's wonderful squad OF
distance runners completely swamped the
University Of Pennsylvania in their an-
nual cross-country race in Falrmount
Park today. The first seven men to
finish were Cornell men, so that the
1thacans won by the lowest possible score
Of 22S points. The score Of the Quaker
team was IS points, only seven men
counting in the scoring. 1t was the Sec
ond complete clean sweep for the Corr
nell team, as last Saturday the Ithacans
finished the first seven men in the dual
race with Harvard.
The race for individual honors was a
keen struggle between Potter and Wind
nagle, OF Cornell. Wlndnagle, who won
first honors In the race with Harvard,
had to give way to Potter, the famous
two-miler. Coming into the last half
mile stretch the two men we're running
side by side, but Potter had the better
sprint and finished about % yards i'm
front. Then there came long line of
Cornell men down the narrow lane formed
by the crowd at the finish The third
man was Corwith, and just back of him
came Speiden, the intercollegiate one-mile
champion. Captain Cadits, Silbert and
ldred finished in this order:
The first Pennsylvania man to cross the
tape was Lieberman, who, after alternat-
lHS III the pace making with humphreys
also of Pennsylvania, up to the last mile.
had to give way before the superior
stamina of the Ithacans. He was fol-
lowed closely by Cotton.
Earl Humphreys and Lieberman for
Pennsylvania did most of the pacing.
Humphreys was in the lead when the men
passed Memorial Hall, and though he
was challenged by Windnagle and Potter,
he was up in front at the half-waymarlS
on the Speedway just after the men had
turned back from Belmont Mansion.
From this point on the Ithacans, rum
ming their first seven men in a bunch, led
the crowd, but Lieberman and Cotton re-
fused to be hsaken off. When the run
ners started on the last mile of the course
the two Quakers were still hanging on,
but Humphreys had begun to die away
The finish was over a half-mile stretch
on the west river drive When this was
reached the Cornell men were running in
n bunch and Lieberman and Cotton were
beginning to feel the hot pace. over the
last quarter mile it was seen that neither
had n chance to overtake the flying Itha-
cans and the crowd watched the process
sion from this point on.

FL PASO, Feb. 12.-Word has been received from the field that the con sttutionalist leaders have made good their declaration to the United States COT sul that they would take immedi ate steps to punish those responsible for the great Cumbre tunnel disaster which cost the lives of forty Mexicans and seven Americans who were either suffocated or burned to death when the passenger train was blown up in the tunnel.
 The constitutionalist commander lost nc time in sending an expedition in search of the bandits and Major Juan Samanigo of the constitutionalist army who is known as one of the most fear less men in Mexico and who was for nerly an officer of the regular troops oe the republic was given command of the expedition with orders to show no mercy to the bandits when he captured or caught up with them.
The Nome daily nugget., 1914-02-12

After several days of scouting through the hills near where the out rage was committed Major Samanigo's column ran across the trail of the bandits and followed this into the mountain Businesses.
 Yesterday in the widest part of the mountains Samanigo's scouts captured a native girl who it was believed was the sweetheart of the bandit chief Cos tillo. For over an hour Major Saman- igo tried by permission and threats to make the girl tell where the robber band was hidden. but she was true to her outlaw lover and would give the soldiers no information. Finally Sam amigo let the girl go but he told her that she might as well go back to her village as Costillo had another woman with him in the mountains and that one of his band whom the soldiers had captured had told them that this wo- man was the bandits wife. This ruse worked. as it was intended. on the hot
