Mt Jenkintown station or maybe II was
o :33 or perhaps 2:1O.
The actual time Of arrival has been
Kept a profound secret. but the fact
remains-they are here for their game
with Penn tomorrow.
Last night the word was passed
among the initiated that the Ithacans
would reach our northern frontier at q
past I this morning. A large
delegation was on hand to give the free
dom of the city. with batcd breath
they clustered around the platform as
the train pulled in.
Clouds of Cornell assistant managers
Kept the platform clear ms the train
RULED in. and thirty three canvas sacks
were cast out from the door of the OK
rress car. Then the train departed.
One Of the onlookers advanced, gently
proddcd one of the bags, and satisfied
himself that the players were not con-
cealcd herein. The Reception Com
mittee now turned to the assistant man-
ayers, and inquired. "IIow Gomez"
lhey were met by stony silence.
Nothing to Say for Publication
After a whispered consultation the
managers decided that they had moth
ing to say for publication.
:. At this point one keen eyed youth
discerned in the morning mists vague
shape that looked rs though II might
be a car on a siding. The object was
stcalthlly approached by the whole dele
CATION and the surmise was found to
be true. It was Il Pullman. standing
silent and lightless on rusty old Sid

they drew near. and were Just about to
leap aboard. when the clarion cry cut
across the darkness:
Hey Where va goin' ?"
AT the same moment host of out
posts rushed from all directions and
formed themselves before the. entrance
to the car.

try stcrnly, and his tone was so des-
perate that everybody stood back. "Thi,
car shall not be disturbed" he Missed.
Very well, kind sir" acccded the
spokesman for the assaulting party,
but do you mind informing us when
the team will leave its respective coaches
and catch some brcakfast?"
Anon, answered the guard in deep
chest tones.
And where will this breakfast be?"
u ain supposed to tell, but you
might ask at the Philmont Country
Club"
Where they did, and it was.
At noon Dobie, bundled in a heavy
ulster as nm aid to his disguise, and
Manager Murphy, equally doled up,
started away from the clubhouse on
a journey veiled in deeper mystery than
any of the earlier mysteries.
They trudged across the damp ground
into waiting taxi, shades drawn and
engine running, ready for sprint tC
some unknown place. Some said that
the Cornell coach was going to Franklin
Field to take thumbnail sketches of the
gridiron for experimental purposes this
afternoon. Others held the opinion that
Dobie was on quiet hunt for machine
guns.
The rat at-tatters will be needed this
afternoon If the onrush of Cornell alum
nj continues. The assistant manager,

the Country Club prepared to the death

Members of the club were told to remain
away from the clubhouse or risk tn,
Cornell sharpshooters, who are prepared
for action.
One of the assistant managers who
doesn't believe in being secrctivc, sale
that the team would not practice thi.
afternoon on Franklin Field, but woul,
work out on the Country Club grounds.
Parade Permit Withdrawn
Cornell undergraduates had planned
to celebrate the victory which they hope
for tomorrow with parade from
Franklin Field to the Bellevue -Strnt
ford Hotel, but the parade has been
called off.
Superintendent Mills received let
ter few days ago from Daniel Is.
Strickler, president of the Student
Council of Cornell. asking for the pn
radc permit, and explaining that in the
event Of Cornell victory the Student
Council desired permission to hold u
parade.
The superintendent readily granted
permission, routing the parade over
Thirty fourth street to Market, tC
Broad and TO the hotel.
Today, however, Superintendent Mills
withdrew his permit temporarily upor

of this city. Later it was withdrawn
for good.
The proctor enclosed two clipping
from the Cornell student publication
and asked that permission for the pa

this afternoon. The proctor wrote thnt
there was a feeling among many of til,
students that they did not want to hole

Move in Town Tonight
Owing to the fact that its present
headquarters are eighteen miles from
Franklin Field. it is probable that the
