Placing Coin on Team to
Beat Penn
MONEY is covered"

Cornell Ia confident that the "jinx'
which has followed il in grid games with
Pennsylvania will be thoroagfiiy rubbed
out today. Several hundred Cornel
students were in the Bellevue Stratfort
lobby. early this morning expressing that
confidence with the money.
Circulating among the hundreds oI
violent Red and White rooters were
several Of the Red and Blue partisans
who were covering the Cornell money
as fast as II made it's appearance. Will,
rumors of overwhelming odds woult
send percentage bettors" hurrying tC
find the source Of the talk, the facts
seemed to indicate that most Of tn,
students were only confident in the sue
ccss Of their team to The extent o.
"cvcn money"
Much Talk--Little Betting
There is really much less betting thar
talking. The Cornell men want from
3R to 4 to | for their money, despite
their loud talk OF confidence. Ticket
Scalpers are having a tough time OF il
Most of the Cornell men have tickets
but those guests who have had their on
thusiasm aroused by the football chatter
are being gouged from So to $1J for
seats.
The Cornell student band of thirty
pieces practiCcd in the ballroom of the
hotel all morning. With the Cornell
root"rs. they go out to Thirty third and
Walnut streets in special trolley cars,
leaving the center Of the city about
- 80 o'clock.
The Cornell men arc wearing rct
feathers with n felt &C" on them. As
is usual. the majority of the male root
old lu md ha;rg
dominate under the red feathers. The
exact number of men is hard to deter
mine. but theiC are three who got here
in fashion n little different.
The story goes around the lobby that
these three Cornell men decided to "hook
ride, and they hid under the bcrth'
in one of the slcepers that left Ithaca
late last night. Two were discovered
by the train crew. but the third cscapct
by hiding in linen closet. Just Ms
the two unluCky ones were about to be
cast into the cold' night the other boys
on the train took up a collection ant
they came to Philadelphia in style.
Music to Chase Jinx
The Cornell Glce Club is confident
too. that there is something in the syn
COpnting Tilt of their mundolins an,

forever. These men. up bright ant
early. have tuned their Instruments anC
are ready when the whistle blows t,
cOnfound the Penn grid warriors anC
help take the bacon back to old Ithaca
The early hour that brought the loyn
rooters swarming into the hotel lobb,
did not confound the peddlers of chryS
anthcmums and pcnnnnts. Ever,
Cornell man had his colorS expressed il
his necktip, shirt or in an arm band.
Also the number of flowers in cor
sageS that were purchased seemed t,
indicate that somewhere in the back
ground there must be girl or tw,
that plans to grace the stands this after
noon.
There were about 400 Cornell mel
registered in the city last night an,
enough more are expected in town thi
morning and early afternoon to swell
the Cornell student attendance to abou
1000. The parade that was scheduled
being cancelled, the Cornell men ar
laying their plans for the snake dance
that will (D take place just ms soor
as the Penn warriors are forced to bit,
the dust. The biting to take place /
the Glce Club. the enthusiasm, the bets
the Chrysanthcmums-and the girls
can somehow subdue that "jinx.'
