PENNSY SHOULD WIN.
In Splendid Condition for Game With
Cornell Today.

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 4-The Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania and Cornell football
elevens met this afternoon on Franklin
field in their annual contest. PennsyIva-
mia entered the game with clean record
of victories for the season, while Cor
nellS eleven has been a disappointment.
notwithstanding this fact, however,
Coach Warner was hopeful to the point
test. Before the game he said:
Captain Lynch will not be able to take
ers are in good Condition. 1 viii not be be a
bit surprised if we win. One thing is
certain, it will be a fight to the end and
no matter who wins both teams will know
that they have been in a fight.
The Pennsylvania coaches were not
boastful of what the red and blue eleven
would do, but said they were satisfied
with the condition of the players:
The weather was clear and crisp.
Corbin of Yale will act as referee and
Edwards of Princeton as umpire.

AS IN DAYS OF OLD.
The Elks' Ministries Made a Hit
Long Ago.

The Elks minstrel show to be given on
next Monday and Tuesday nights at the
Auditorium brings up memories to the
old-timers. Once before in its history
was Topeka given a chance to brag on
itself because minstrel performance was
put on entirely by local talent. That was
back in 1889 in the fall The Ingleside,
well known as a worthy charitable insti-
tuition, needed money. So a lot of young
men of the city formed company and
rented the Grand Opera house. where
they put on show which will only be
eclipsed by the performances scheduled
for next week.
The show was known as the "Ingleside
Minstrels." In the roster of participants
are found the following names: f. o.
Popenoe, business manager; G. H. Molte,
stage director; M c. Holman, musical di-
rector; q. M. Leach, orchestra director;
G N. Merriam, custodian; J; w Gleed.

Clark. Fred Freeman. R. II; Cav; ]; B.
F. L Jetmore, J. X Bair and L. Anton
Smith A good many more names are on
the list, almost one hundred in all.
This striking statement appears on the
front page OF the program, a copy OF
which is in the. possession of James
Torrance: The managers announce that
they gave this entertainment with great
eclat before all the crowned heads of Eu-

guishable type: Ever Thought of Giving

LIVED ON RAW POTATOES.
Crew of the Webfoot Five Days at
Storms Mercy.

Astoria, Ore, Nov. 24.-With three
men of her crew missing and prob
ably drowned, with her decks awash
and the surviving members of her
crew nigh exhausted from five days
exposure to the elements, the old
American barkentine Webfoot, water
logged and dismasted, has been towed
into port here. Captain Lewis reports
that while his vessel rolled in the
heavy seas off the mouth of the Co.
lumbia river yesterday threatening
every minute to go to the bottom three
steam schooners bound south and
three bound north passed him, yet
none offered him assistance. The ap-
pearance of the San Francisco liner
George w. Elder saved their lives.
For five days the crew of the bark
entine was huddled on the top of the
cabin with no protection whatever
from the gale. Excepting a few raw
potatoes the men had nothing to eat
and only such water as could be Sc
cured by catching rain in their oil
skin hats. Captain Lewis states that
he could not possibly have survived
two days longer. The Webfoot sailed
from Cocos bay for San Francisco, Oc-
