PHILADELPHIA VS.. CORNELL.
In Big Eastern Thanksgiving Game
Quakers Are Second Choice.

Philadelphia, Nov. 26.-Now that
Harvard and Yale have played their
annual football game, the inter-
collegiate world Is looking with great
gle of the year between Cornell and
Pennsylvania at Philadelphia on
Thanksgiving day. Both Cornell and
Penn have proven unusually strong
this year, and victory for one OF the
other will mean much in the rating
of the two teams for the year.
The Pennsylvania record is marred
by the Indian defeat. while Pennsyl-
vania State college caught Cornell at
an unguarded moment and scored an
S-6 victory. Pennsylvania men have
been trying to forget that they ever
PLAYED the Indians. but were this
game to be played over there is no
doubt that the Quakers. with the
great Improvement they have made
could trounce the Indians without
much difficulty.
1t need occasion no surprise If Cor
nell is made the favorfte over
Pennsylvania for this game. This is
due to the fact that the Ithacans de-
Swarthmore on successive Saturdays.
Against two of these teams Prince
ton and West Point. the Cornell eleven
did better than Yale. 1T will be re-
nembered that Yale could do no bet
while the Ellis margin over Princeton
was only 1910. Cornell beat West
Point, 1910. and won from Prince
ton, SIS.
PENNSYLVANIA and Cornell have
played fourteen games to date. OF
this number Pennsylvania has won
twelve, lost one and been tied in one.
The only time that Cornell defeated
Pennsylvania was in 1904 when the
poorest team the Quakers ever had
lost. 24-6. The only tie game was
that of last year and this ended with
the score 90.

A TOPEKA CASE

c. H. Morns. of zoos Quincy ST., To-
peka. Kan. says: Some six years ago
I gave testimonial concerning the
merits of Doan's Kidney Pills. I can
only add to It that have still the same
faith in this remedy and endorse 1t to-
day as strongly when I first used 1t.
1t brought me great and decided relief
from pain in my back that had been a
source Of much annoyance to me for a
long time. You are at liberty to renew
my statement about Doan's Kidney
Pills as 1t may help some unfortunate,
person with an aching back and who
ardently wishes for a remedy"

This is also the case with Wolf the big

The Oklahoma team will arrive in
Topeka tomorrow night on No. 116
and newspaper men from Oklahoma
City and Norman will accompany the
team to Topeka.
The sale of seats started out well
promises to be fair and the game
promises to be one of great football,
the sale will doubtless be a large one.
Many of the best seats were taken yes
terday. Arrangements have been
made for the erection of new bleach
ers and this work will be started some
time this afternoon. The largest crowd
in the history of football at the local
college is expected at this game.
High School Teams to Play.
AS a sort of a curtain raiser a game
will be played between the Topeka
High school team and the Kansas City
High school team. This game will
rival in ferceness the Oklahoma
game. The local High school has a
fast team. They have played in three
games this season and have managed
to score one hundred and forty points
on opposing high schools while they
have kept their own goal line I'M
crossed. In the past two seasons no
high school team has been able to
score on the Topeka team The KAN
sas City and Topeka teams, met once
this year at Kansas City. There was
a great deal of dissatisfaction on both
sides as to the result of the game.
The work of the officials was severely
II to o but Kansas City did not have
her full strength in the field. They
are now anxious to redeem lost lau-
rels and are intending to make a
general cleaning of their slate Thurs
day afternoon.
The local High school team will be
crippled. Kuehne, the aggressive
center Of the team. has a broken rib
and Cowgirl, the right end, has bad
" sprained knee. Both men Will be
out of the game and the substitutes
will have to be drafted into service
to fill the ranks. Captain James Nc
Farland, Quarterback He'll and Swear
ingen, the left end, will play their last
games Thursday. These three and
probably Holmes. the star tackle. will
probably go to college next season. At
the present time they are intending
to enter Kansas university. A good
bunch of material for a college team
they are, and Washburn should secure
these stars instead Of permitting them
to leave Topeka.

WEST POINT THE FAvoRITE.
Expected That the Army VIII Defeat
the Navy saturday.

New York, Nov 26.-The cadet
elevens from the United Military and
Naval academy will once more have
the honor of closing the football sea-
son, their great battle taking place
on Franklin field next Saturday. This
game. which is always bitterly fought.
will lack nothing this fall. There is
no reason to doubt that the army
team will be the favorite over the
navy. 1t is true that the soldiers are
picked every year to beat the middies,
very much as Yale is picked in prefer
ence to Harvard.
This year there is good ground for
the belief in the ability of the West
Pointers to win. They have much the
better record for the season to date.
It will be remembered that West
Point, early in the season played
Yale a to o game, scored 10 points
against Cornell and won all the other
games on the schedule. The middies,
on the other hand. have played an in
and-out game losing to Harvard to

The men of the team are going
through a good hard practice this
week. Weede believes in working his
men hard on the eve of big game in
order to increase. their endurance to
tn limit This game is proving no
exception and the blue mole skin
heroes are working hard for the battle
with the Sooners. The forwardpasses,
end runs. onside kicks and other ia
vorite plays of the Washburn team
were run off last night in a style that
was thrilling to a spectator from the
side lines and one which would re-

the final result of the game

6 to tie with Vanderbilt and barely
beating State college to 4. All of
these signs indicate some fundamental
weakness in the navy team, and if the
soldiers do not beat the sailors when
they clash, on Franklin field there
will be much surprise among the fol-
lowers of the team.
OF the twelve games played to date,
the army has won six, lost five and
been tied in one. OF the eight games
played on Franklin field since foot
ball relations were resumed in 1893
the West Pointers have won five, lost
two and been tied in one.

With these words Coach Weede Of the
Washburn team expressed his opinion
| of the coming contest with the Sooners,
| the grand finale of the present most
successful season of the Washburn
team. While it may be true that Coach
Weede is a little too dubious as to the
result, his fears are not entirely I'M
called lor misgivings. Wherever Benny
owen Is coaching football team there
Is bound to be something doing. He
has a reputation for getting more out
of his men than any coach who ever
worked in this section OF the country
His team has made great record this
season. having won the undiSputed
championship of the new state. They
lost to Kansas butt was more because
of the fact that Coach, Owen lost his
arm in an accident a week before the
game and could not coach the team.
Consequently the bunch of Sooners was
unable to meet Kansas in their best
form. Owen is however at the helm
again and the Sooners are working
hard, confident of winning from WASH
burn.
Nearly All in Good Condition.
A look at the Washburn squad in ac-
ton this week shows all the men who
have played this season in the cham
pionship games with one exception out
in uniform suits and doing the daily
practice stunts laid out by Coach
Weede. The exception is Johnston, the
big tackle and substitute fullback.
Johnston has been in suit but once
since the game with the Aggies two
weeks ago last Saturday. He put on A
suit and got into a small part of the
F'afrmount game. He is out of the game
principally to avoid any risk of being
hurt so as to be kept out Of the Okla
homa game. His knee is far from well
but he will doubtless play in the game.
Williams is feeling better but will lack
a good per cent of his usual aggressive
ness. AS Coach Weede says the team
otherwise is in good condition and
ought to be as well trained for the
game as they were for the Kansas
struggle. George White is out again
and will play part of the game at
half. If Johnston is unable to play
Maxwell will play his tackle. Should
Williams be knocked out and Johnston
unable to go in at full Smiley Will play
the fu.lback position. Smiley seems to
be the only available substitute for this
position and has been practiced there
ever since his favorable showing in the
Paramount game.

HAVE NO PANIC.
Out in Osborne the People I'm
aware of a "Flurry."
The Banks Have HOn0red All Of
the Checks Presented.
BUILDING is GOING ON
A $4,000 Court House Now
Under Process of Erection.
Presbyterians Have Completed
a Handsome Manse.

Osborne, Nov. 26.-During the pres
ent financial troubles the three banks
of Osborne have pursued the even ten
or of their ways, and have honored
all checks in either currency or ex-
change as their customers have desir-
ed. If the people hadn't read in the
daily newspapers about the unsettled
financial condition of the country they
would not know anything about a
money panic so far as the banks of
this city are concerned. The Osborne
bankers are men of good standing and
have the confidence of the people.
The new court house being built at
a cost of $4,000, will hardly be ready
for occupancy before next fall. When
the contractor finally turns it over to
the county. Osborne county will
boast of one of the largest, prettiest
and most imposing buildings of the
kind in north central Kansas. And if
there Is county worthy a public
building of this kind 1t is Osborne. For
years the county officers have refused
to point with pride to the rusty, di-
1apidated wood building where they
have been doing business.
Among the many fine and handsome
improvem ents in Osborne for the year
now closing is the new manse erected
by the Presbyterians at a cost of be-
tween $4,000 and SIS 900. This church
owns lots on one of the most central
corners, upon which a $4,000 church
will be build in the near future. The
pastor of the church here is DR.. J. c.
Miller, formerly president of the col
1ege of Emporia. He is one of the bes.
known Presbyterian divfnes in the
state.
VIM. Clemmons came from Illinois
to Osborne county in 1880 He had
nerve and but little funds. He went
to work and made money. He now
owns a section of land. is out of debt
and this year has built a residence
about a mile from here at a cost of
about $1,000. Mr.. Clemmons is here
after going to live on Easy street, for
in his home he has all the modern
conveniences of living having hot and
cold water, steam heat and electric
lights.

Alphonso FalIetti Is Missing and the
Black Hand Is Hinted At.

Pittsburg, Kan, Nov. 26.-Alphonso
Felletti, local clothier, who claims to
be an Italian count, has mysteriously
disappeared, and efforts to locate him
for the past week have been unavafIfng.
About a month ago Falletti and his
wife went to Illinois to visit relatives.
After the visit they came as far as st.
Louis, where they separated, the wife
coming on west to the home of her
parents in Carthage, Mo. Fallettf was
to remain in st. Louis and look after
some business for the firm and also
with the understanding that after that
he would either come home or go to
Chicago on business.
Mrs. F'alletti visited with her parents
for a week and then came to Pittsburg,
only to find that her husband had not
yet been heard from. Falletti is an
Italian, and being well educated he has
been doing a banking business for his
less educated countrymen.

TWO OFFERS FOR BALL CLUB.
Leayenworth Owners Talk of Dispos-
ing of a Part or Whole Interest


Leayenworth, Kan, Nov. 26.-Law>
renee Milton, who has managed and
owned interests in a number of teams
in the Western association, and who
is recognized as one of the shrewdest
baseball men in the business, offers to
take a half interest in the Leaven-
worth club and keep the club in Leay-
enwof.tf. He believes baseball can be
made profitable in Leavenworth. If
the local promoters decide to sell him
the interest in the club, he will be
manager and will pitch or play first
base. His offer is being seriously con-
sidered.
Another man who has made an
offer for the local franchise Is r. F.
Hayden of Webb City. Hayden agrees
to buy the franchise outright, If suit
able terms can be arranged, and he
further agrees to keep the team in
Leavenworth. paying an annual rental
for the baseball park. Hayden is a
good baseball man and he has lots of
money Offers have been received
from a number of others. but only
those that came from Milton and Hay
denSare being considered at this time.
The owners of the team lost big
money the past season and are not
enthusiastic over retaining the club.
