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.

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.

great and liberal support ub captain as
they would havo furnished him.
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.

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.
