The belated midnight announce- ment of his arrival yesterday by air from Tampico, Mexico, set at rest characteristic public concern for his safety, which had been felt over the week-end. . En Route to New York The flier, his month hunting and flying vacation in Mexico at an end, is on the way to New York for which point he probably will hop today, perhaps in a non-stop flight. His announcement that he was be- hind schedule to keep an engage- ment there led to this surmise. In evident determination to stay out of the limelight while going about his personal business, the col- onel did not see newspapermen here and whether intentional or other- wise, his coming remained a secret for eight hours, during which time an anxious vigil was kept in south Texas and fear for his safety was felt in two nations. Although he returned to his fam- iliar haunts at 3:30 p. m., to pay his first visit since his graduation from the advanced flying school in the spring class of 1925, word of his ar- rival did not reach the public until after midnight, & few minutes after he had retired.

PENN STATE HARRIERS DEFEND CHAMPIONSHIP Cross Country Title to be Decided Today at Van Cortlandt Park in New York, New York, Nov. 26 (UP)—Over the hills and dales of Van Cortlandt park, Billy Cix and his Penn State Harriers go scampering this after- noon in defense of their I. C. A. A. A. cross country championship. Cox and his Nittany Lions have won the intercollegiate title for the last two years and they will be driving hard over the course to make it three straight, hard pressed by harriers of Maine, Michigan State, New York Univer- sity, Cornell and Harvard, and oth- er colleges. The to fight off the challenges of the men_ who finished second and third to him last November if he is to succeed in winning the individual championship for the third consecu- tive time. Harry Richardson of Maine and Jimmy Reid of Harvard, second and third in the 1927 race, six-mile | ‘enn State captain will have | are fit for the race of their college careers. Others bound to be preminent in the running when the pack is sent away over the up-and-down hill course are Frank Lindsay, runner- up to Richardson in the New Eng- land intercollegiate cross country event this fall; Nat Lerner of N, Y. U., Joe Hagen of Columbis and Phil Edwards, dusky Canadian Olympic contender who wears the violet of N. Y. U. in his first hill-and-dale effort. Once before in the history of I. C. A. A. A. A. cross country runs a man won thrce champlonships in succession He was the great John Paul Jones of Cornell, distance star of his day. Cix will try to duplicate Jones' feat. Penn State's freshmen won last year's race for first year men, and are favored to repeat today. Bill McNift is the best of the Nittany Cubs and a likely winner of indi- vidual honors. . Michigan State, the first western team of harriers to seek the I. C. A. A. A. A. title, is considered one of the strongest of the 18 varsity ag- gregations in this afternoon’s race.
