EAST BERLIN K. R.
 STATION IS ROBBED
: 40 Gents in Cash and Quantity Of
 Gum Is Stolen
WANT WARNING AT CROSSING
People Also Want Trolley Extension Swedish Politicians Supporting Candidacy of Dr. GriSwold For Se1ectnan-Commu Orchestra.

+ Sometime late Thursday evening or early Friday morning the East Berlin passenger depot was broken into and all the gum in the slot machines stolen and 40 cents in money. The discovery was made by Station Agent Harry Dowd yesterday morning when he opened up. Entrance was gained by removing the wire screen Srom the window of the ticket office and the window forced. All the SUD- ply of gum to fill the machines was kept in the ticket office and all of 1t was taken. The front of the gum machines was removed and all the gum stolen and forty cents in change also taken which just about paid the tntruders for their work. The theft es thought to have been done by youngsters as gum seemed to be the thing that they were after. An in- yestigation is now under way to find the missing gum. In all probability there will be considerable surplus gum chewed within the next few weeks. Regular patrons of the art of chewing gum will probably lay off awhile fearing suspicion as gum &hief.
 Agitation for Alarm Bell.
 Residents in the vicinity of the crossing by the Connecticut Metal & Chemical company are agttating for an alarm bell for the safety of those who use the crossing. Now that the new concern is doing business there Is more or less traffic over the crossing and at the present time there is no fagman, bell or any other. means of warning of the trains approach. The new company is taking the initiative in the matter of public safety at this point and now has il man at the crossing for this week to take count of all teams and pedestrians now using the crossing. If ii Is found that sufficient numbers are using the cros- Sing, steps will be taken to have an alarm bell installed to warn of the trains approach.

we're given a much needed rest to-day
and only the scrubs took part in the

coaches aimed to give the regulars a
thorough rest before beginning a des-

This contest is the main event on the
Cornell schedule, and if by any chance
the lthacans could triumph on Frank

year would be more than overbalanccd,
in the opinion of the undergraduate
body, though it is sale to say they
will not be forgotten.
No Cornell team III recent Years has
faced the Penn game with four defeats
to its credit except the 1913 eleven
but in the come back of that team Cor
neliians find cons solation and hone. The
1913 team lost TO Colgate, Pittsburgh
Penn State and Michigan, but finally
got together and beat Penn for the first
time in twelve years. The captain of
that eleven. Jimmy Munns, is expected
to be here tomorrow to help in the
final drive.

ItepaTdtlOn Tor tne maj game
started to-day, when the first team
was put together again, and probably
as it will start the big match. The
left wing remained as it started against
the Jersey team week ago Saturday,
but Havemeyer was at center, Clark
at right guard, Kane back at right
tackle and Phiniey at right end. In
the backtield Arnold Horween was
with Casey and Humphrey, which
means that Burnham. who was at left
half at Princeton, has been replaced.
Putting A. Horween in the backfeld
again is step that meets with the ap-
proval of the team. Horween has i'm
proved at rapid pace during the last
month, and to-day there is no better
all-around player on the squad for
steady and effective and offensive and
defensive work. On defence he backs
up the line splendidly. and some ar
rangement will be made 10 place him
where his work will be the most ef.-
fective in the Yale game.
Havemeyer at Center
Havemeyer, if he can get back to
his keen game for forward pass de-
fence. is expected to fill the bill as
we'll as any Harvard center can against
the heavy Yale middle line and its
shift. Kane was used at end against
Tufts for time, but did not go very
well. He did not get the swing of his
new position. and the chances are the
coaches will not experiment any longer
With him on the end of the rush line.
Phinney was at right end all through
the signal drill and long dummy scrin-
mage against the scrubs. He was
coming fast when hurt several weeks
right end Saturday if Jack Desmond
does not appear to take back his job.
Desmond has not been out since the
Tiger game. and it is thought now that
there is not more than an even chance
that he will be ready for the Yale game.
he same is true of Ralph IIorween,
who. although on the field this after
noon. did little more than dropkick
Pooh Donovan hopes to have Ralph
ready 10 play al lcas. a part of the
game against Yale, but the coaches are
not banking on him.
Not to Extend Players
Harvard viii have little Of hard foot
hall this week. The regulars had none
last week but the drills against the
scrubs have been pretty nearly real
football. although the two teams have
ret mixed things up. Fisher intends
g n-t q sound eleven on the lield when
the Na.c invasion starts, and he and
his staff feel they can round out their
eleven to play lar better football than
was shown down in Jersey more than
week ago.
Leo Leary was out with the coaches
to-day working on defenses on Yale's
attack Harvard did not see much at

mee' fairly open as we'll as a plung-

the idea is not an impossible one, and
that the endowment fund officials
