BAUM TO LEAD ILLINI LEFT END CH08EN CAPTAIN OVER JOHN RICHARD8. BADGERS MAY MAKE A PROTEST THE FOOTBALL CAPTAINCY. Now thnt tho captaincy of tho 100!) football cloven Is known to rest ho twoon two men It 1h hoped that tho content for tho portion will he fought out on a friendly hauls and that neith er of the candidates" will do anything so unjust as to Btlr up tno enmity of tho othor playor, or of any of his fol lowers. Doth of tho aspirants aro good men and havo dono a groat deal for NehraBka football, but If thoy adopt tho wrong tactics In uppoaslng tholr ambition to get tho football cap taincy thoy aro liable to do lrroparablo Injury to tho prospects for next sea son's oloVon. For tho last two years both of tho candidates havo worked hard for Ne braska In tho playing In the football lino, and both deserve and havo ro colvod much praise. In tho contest that is now on, though, each of them owes it to this unlvorslty to light fair ly and koop up a friendly spirit among tho momborB of this year's team. And tho ono who loses in this contest must koop up tho saino attltuo toward tho team after his dofoat that ho has now. Ho must return to school next fall and work for tho team just as hard as he did this or last fall. And, moroovor, ho must not discourage tho men who supported him in tho contost. Ho must havo thorn givo his opponont just as Eligibility of 8chommcr for Basket Ball Questioned and Chicago May Be Called on to An swer for Him. CHAMPAIGN, 111.. Dec. 4. "Bonny" Huuin, left end on tho Illinois football team for two years, tonight waB oloct cd captain of the varsity tor 1909 after a close race with John Richards, the right end. Haum 1h a Junior In the unlverHity, hails from Phoenix, Ariz., and is a brother of "Ikoy" Baum, Illi nois famous pony half back in '95. CIIICAdO, Dec. 4. University of Wisconsin athletic otllclals threaten to disturb the harmony of the confer ence situation by protesting tho eligi bility of John Schommer of the ma roon basket ball team, according to a report which roachod tho Midway ath letic camp yesterday. Tho badgers are said to consider Schommer inelig ible for competition this winter on the ground that ho has already played his three years of baskot ball. Coach Stagg will roceive any pro tost Wisconsin has to offer without ox citemont, as tho baskot ball star Is fully protected by a conference rulo passed last June, he Bays. Under this ruling Schommer 1b allowed to play his fourth season on tho maroon five, along with a number of other "big eight" playors. Tho interpretation of tho conference ruling differs in tho two camps. Coach Stagg boliovos Schommer Is In no danger, as tho rulo states that athletes who competed In minor sports in or previous to 190(1 may play this winter. Basket ball was a minor sport in 1900, but the badgers object to Stagg's In terpretation, becauso tho sport is now included In tho list of major sports "There Ik no poBsiblo doubt as to Schommer's eligibility," said Dr. J. E. Huycroft of tho muroons last night. "The conforonce passed a rulo to cover his caso last June. Wisconsin has a right to play all four-year men included in this ruling, and I see no reason for any misinterpretation of tho matter. 1 believe tho badgers will boo tho case differently if they will look at tho rules again." CHICAGO, Dec. 4. Four thousand mon appealed to Arthur Hall to re main for another year head coach of In which she differed from those who rnnk Wisconsin above Illinois in football this year." Ten minutes' intermission for cheers followed this address. II. F. Little, a member of the Shield and Trident, the senior honor society which prepnred tho petition, presented It to Head Coach Hall, begging him to sacrlflco himself another year for the glory of his alma mator. Drake. DISS MOINES, Dec. 'A. Coach John L. Orlfllth of Drake spent yesterday In Lincoln, Neb., In an effort to schod ulo a game with either tho University of Nebraska or the Carlisle Indians for next fall. Since tho successful football season of tnls fall Drake Is anxious for a big gamo tnat will tax the capacity of the big HaBkinB stad ium here. With 0,000 people in the stands Thanksgiving day the largest crowd to over assemble In Iowa there were great sections of tho cement stands vacant. Coach Griffith believes that with a lilgh-class game with an outside team the capacity may be reached. At The Play Houses The Lyric. "Tho Blue and Grey," a thrilling war drama, will bo presented at the Lyric noxt week. "Carmen" is tho bill for this nftornoon and evening. The Majestic. An especially strong bill has been engaged for nojjt week at tho Majes tic. It will have two headlines fresh from the Orphoum circuit. "College Days," a comedy playlet in which Frederick Bowerslntors, is tho loading number on this week's program. Mr. Dixey As "Pa." Among the host of American com edluiiB Henry K. Dixey, with his graceful art and magnetism' stands, alone. His comedy is spontaneous, delicious and unique. His power to convulse any audience with hearty laughter Is a dlvlno gift that goes with hlB polished and charming personality. In the new comedy, "Mary Jano's Pa," overybody udmlros Dixey oxcopt Mary Jano's "Ma." Tho moro Ma" dislikes "Pa" the funnier becomes tho comedy.

If either of tho two candidates has in him a streak that would allow him to do otherwise than be true to Ne braska's football team if ho should loso this fight that should bo found out now, for such type of man does not oven desorvo to havo a position on a college football team. It 1b hardly necessary to imagine such a thing as being true to either Collins or Frum, tho two candldatos for tho Nebraska captaincy. Both of them aro true as stool, and, no matter what tho result of tho oloctlon, will work juBt as hard for tho scarlet and cream noxt fall as thoy did during the past two scea-sons. THE MESSIAH. All students who havo sung in the Messiah in previous years are urged to assist in the coining rendition of the work which will take place on Thursday, December 17. Rehearsals aro held in tho Temple Music hall (second floor) on Tuesday, Wednes day and Thursday at 5 p. m. 12-2-1 w The "Rag" till February 1 and a free Majestic ticket for 50 cents. tho University of Illinois tootball team at a luncheon given in his honor at the Boston Oyster house yesterday noon. There weren't that many men In tho restaurant, although tho 225 alumni who did assemble made enough noise for twice that number, but their names were affixed to a monBtor peti tion bound in leather, which was pre sented to tho "Silent Coach" by a student from Urbana. Beside Coach Hall there were pres ent as guests of honor George Huff, graduate director of athletics at tho university; Lieut. Col. E. G. Fochet, commandant of the university regi ment, and Coach Lindgren. Tho meet ing was presided over by Trustoo W. A. Abbott. The enthusiasm' over tho victories of "tho team" this fall was expressed in songs, speeches and cheers, particularly tho lutter. Characteristic Speech. Tho graduato coaching system was endorsed by every one, and tho senti ment in rogaVd to this year's team was expressed by Former Coach Lowoh thal In tho shortest speech of the day. He said: "Mary had a little lamb; It's fleece was white us snow; But in black Ink she soaked the lamb; Which mado her a lamb dyer; The role Is so different from anything this versatile artist has yet shown us that the contrast is a test of his gen Iub. Tho idea of Mr. Dixey appearing as a vagabond husband after a ten years' absence from homo and then being employed by the onco doting wife us her "hired girl" is a laugh in itself. None bu t a clover woman author would havo devised so novel a situation. In her now play, Miss Ellis portrays life In a small western town, employing a score of quaint charac ters in addition to little Mary Jano, her sister Lucllo and "Ma" and 'Pa." "Pa" has come back to stay, but Por tia Perkins, that's "Ma," had hoped he never would return. Ho was un remombered oven by his daughters, but ho wlnB Mary Jano with his rice puddings, helps Lucillo find a sweet heart, and Anally rekindles the love flame in Portia's heart and wins his way with everyone, including the audi ence. It is a triumph of Mr. Dixey's art to niako old "Hi" Perkins so lov able a character. After appearing two weeks "on the road," Mr. Savage "offers" Mr. Dlxoy as a star to New York this weok in tho new play, and tho actor's friends predict that ho will continue at tho Garden theater tho remainder of tho season. Anne Sutherland is playing "Ma," and her portrayal 1b as flno a bit, of natural acting as this talented woman has over dono.
