teed value of $4,000.

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-Some of
the crack long-distance runners OIL
America will be seen in the big five
mile race to be held at the 22d regi-
ment games as the Thanksgiving
sporting feature in the metropolis.
The entry of John J. DAILY of the
1rish-American club gives an added
interest to the contest, since the
wonderful Irish runner is expected
to give Bonhag and his rivals a
great race for first honors. Daily de-
clares that he is in as good form as
when he won the 10-mile champion
ship at the Polo grounds.
The rivalry between Bonhag and
Daily has been keen, especially in the
Irish club. Both are remarkable
runners at their distances. Bonhag
leans rather to the shorter distances.
while the longer the race the better
Days chances appear to be. At Ave
miles these men meet on an even
footing. Their styles are markedly
different. Bonhag runs in good form.
and has a remarkable squirt, while
DAILY uses Looping trot is far from
graceful, but his endurance carries
him through.

FOOTBALL NEARS
END OF SEASON
CORNELL AND PENNSYLVANIA
AND THE ARMY AND NAVY
FURNISH THE ONLY REMAIN
ING BIG GAMES OF 1907.

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-With only
two more important games to be de.
cided, the football season of 1907
will pass into history. In many re-
Spects it has been the most success
full in the annals of the American
college game, although no eleven
has been able to clearly demonstrate
its superiority.
Tomorrow's big game will he that
between Cornell and PENNSYLVANIA,
at Philadelphia, and the season will
be finished in the same city on Sat
urday, when the Army and Navy
meet for their annual struggle.
Admirers of the big red team, who
at one time cherished championship
ambitions by reason of COrnell's de-
feat of Princeton, West Point and
Swarthmore, are bold in their decla-
ration that the Quaker warriors will
be easy picking in the Thanksgiving
game. It has one of the swiftest
attacks developed during the year.
and plays battling and elusive foot
ball, which is always very disagree
able to Father PENIS sons.
The Quakers, on the other hand,
are equally confident that they have
made a great advance in the last few
weeks and that the change of air in
cident to the Western trip has made
new men of the sturdy warriors. On
the basis of comparative scores, the
Penn adherents have good reason for
the faith that is in them. The Itha-
cans lost to Pennsylvania State col
lege on October 10 by a score of SNto
8. Three weeks later Penn State
went to Franklin field, confident OF
humbling the red and blue, and in
stead went down to defeat to the
mournful tune of 28 to 0. The eleR-
en- which had been able to drag Cor
nell's standard in the dust was who'll
ly unable to cope with the Pennsyl-
vania eleven, and showed their in
feriority at every stage of the game.
No judge of football as it is now
played, however, regards these two
games as fair test of the COMPARE
tive merits of the teams which will
meet on Franklin field tomorrow.
The confidence of the Quakers is
based principally on the former
games between the two universities
Pennsylvania having defeated Cornell
in IL out of Ia games. The Cornell
men are enthusiastic in the belief
that it will be able to wipe out the
memory OF past defeats suffered at
the hands of the Quakers by admin
istering an overwhelming defeat to-
morrow.
In the South the principal games
scheduled for tomorrow are those be-
tween Vanderbilt and Sewanee,
Georgia and Auburn and Alabama
and Tennessee. Nebraska will meet
st. Louis university in st. Louis, ana
Kansas and Missouri will engage in
their annual gridiron struggle at
Kansas City.
