NO ACTIVE CAMPAIGNING BY MEN Temple, Shonka, and Rathbone Talked of for Leadership of Next Year's Cornhuskers Indoor Events to Come 8oon. IntoreBt in football circles Is now contorod In tho question of a loader for next year's team. To date tho names of threo possible candidates for captain of tho 1910 CornhuBker eleven have been mentioned, with the possi bility of a fourth man entering tho race lator on. The mon promlnontly mentioned for tho placo are Temple, Shonka, and Rathbone. None of these mon aro doing any active campaigning themselves, tho matter being left entirely to their friends. Supporters of none of them, however, aro lacking. Owing to tho fact that tho athletic board has not yet doclded what 'players aro to re celvo "N's" for this year's work, It is a little hard to tell just what support each man may have. Tho question of at least one man's receiving an "N" remains for tho board to decide. Choice 8hould Be Unanimous. Tho campaign so far haB been qtflet, at least on tho surface. There scorns to bo a general feeling that tho choice of a captain ought to be by a unani mous voto in order to avoid any of tho disagreeable feeling following the last two elections. At least two of tho candidates have expressed this opinion, and tho plan seems to be the one generally favored by the majority of tho students. Of courBO it would bo rather diffi cult to sccuro a unanimous choice. In any event there Beems to bo a gen eral understanding .that factionalism should not onter Into tho contest. In former-years tho lino has been drawn between "barbs" and fraternity men. Last year's election in particular was a drawn, contest botwo'on tho two fac tions, and it was not until after tho athletic board threatened to take tho matter Into their "own hands that a compromise was finally agreed upon. Even then much dissatisfaction and oven charges of fraud resulted, and affected the teitm throughout the school year. Should matters come to Buch a state thlB year it Is more than likely that tho athletic board will take the mat ter into their own hands and appoint a captain as they threatened laBt year. Tho threo men who have thus far been mentioned for tho position have all shown their ability as members of this ydar's team, all aro three-year men and any ono of them ought to ' make a good leader. Indoor Athletics Picking Up. Tho announcement or tho Mar quette Indoor meet that was given in yestorday'B Dally brings to mind the faot that Chartor Day is not far dis tant. Tho annual Indoor athletic meet to bo hold on that day Is to bo made an intorclass affair this year. Last year it was made a dual contest be tween tho fraternity and "barb" teams and resulted in tho killing of a con siderable of tho Interest shown In the contests. By making it a contest be tween the different classes more In terest will bo manifested. Tho an nual' "frat" meet will probably be held some time before February 15, and It Jb possible there may bo a ''barb" meot also. Some work In preparation for these contests is already being done.

The cast is working hard and neither time nor energy will be spared in making it ono of the successes of tho university season. Tho play will bo staged with ex treme caro as to detail. Fine cos tumes, both character and modern in their nature have been procured to mako tho scenes pleasing from an ar tistic point of view. Appropriate scenery has been Becurod and will add greatly In producing tho English ef fect necessary to the correct setting of the piece. Strong Cast. The caBt of tho play was carefully selected from among tho best talent In tho club, and In the representation of their parts. they aro doing excellent work. Searle Davis, who showed so much talent in tho senior play last year, will take the leading part. His ability to adapt himself to any part makes him especially valuable as load ing man. Ho gets Into tho character with Bplrlt and animation and makes everyone wonder "What Is tho matter with the professor?"' Yalo Holland needs no Introduction to tho university public. His part in tho play, as doctor to the professqr, shows him off to groat advantage. His utter abandon makos tho character ho is trying to play a real one. Leading Lady. Miss Tully, as tho professor's secre tary, takes tho part of tho leading lady n tho. play. Miss Tully Is a prom inent member of tho club, and has dis played her ability n numerous plays and as a reader. Miss Tully Is very DECEMBER 4, 1909.

Some good work Is expected of Mr. John Alexander, who takes the' part of Dr. Yollowleavo, and who is very well suited to tho part. Miss Esther Dally, as sister of tho professor, 'is well placed In a character part Her pre vious work in tho club plays has made her a valuable member. Her last ap pearance on tho university stage was In "Tho American Citizen." Miss Ada Morgan takes tho part of tho servant of tho professor in an especially pleas ing manner, flho gets Into tho char acter with enthusiasm. Nye More house, Paul Yates and Laurence Coy, who appeared In tho various plays of tho club last year, are oxpoctod to at tract considerable attention In this production. Miss Naglo and Miss Hoagland as tho English aristocracy aro tho source of groat amusement and add zest to tho play. Mr. Rush ton as butler Is very clover. With this strong cast oarnestly working, "What Is the Matter With the Professor?" ought to give tho stu dent body tho opportunity of witness ing ono of tho best plays that Will bo put on tho university stage by the club this year.
