 * LEE TALBOTT TO PENN STATE. Former Manual and K. C. A. C. Athlete Couldn't Enter Cornell This Year.


 * Ithaca, N.Y., Nov. 11.—
 * "Refused admission to Cornell University as a junior this fall because of a single entrance condition hanging over him since his freshman year, Lee Talbott, the Cornell and Irish-American A. C. hammer thrower, has gone to Pennsylvania State College, where he will continue his studies in scientific agriculture, begun at Cornell two years ago. Talbott passed up all of his work last year, but this fall the faculty of the college of agriculture, in which he was registered, claimed that he failed to respond to a notice to come to Ithaca and remove his condition. Talbott alleged that he never got the notice. Prominent professors interceded for him, but the agricultural faculty stubbornly refused to waive their right to debar him, at the same session ruling out Bell, the football guard. L. J. Talbott, the father of Lee Talbott, the former Manual Training School and K. C. A. C. weight athlete, said this morning that his son had entered the agricultural department of the Pennsylvania State College, but only for a semester. In this school Lee can do a lot of extra work and expects to return to Cornell in February."
