position In being carried on between two !
men Collins end Frum. Fveral nlnet
members of the team are eligible for the
captaincy, but they have withdrawn in
favor of the two louden. The fight for the
position Is divided along fraternity r"l
"bard" line, Collins bring a fat man and
Frum a barb. The latter haa the solid
"barb" Vote pledged to him, but will need
two or three fraternity votes If he ia to
win.
' Fraternity Affiliation. .
Of the fourteen Irttrr nvn this yrar five
are "barba" and the, others are members of
fraternities. It la understood that Frum
haa decured the support of two of the
"frat" men, and In care that la true whon
the election takes place there la liable, to
be a tie vote, for C'ollliia has the support
of the even other "frat" men and can
poll their votfS. while Frum will have
"harb" and two "fraf votes, making seven
votes for each candidate. The election
probably will bo held the latter part of
next week. In the meantime the two can
didates for the captaincy are carrying on a
friendly campaign In retting their votes
clinched, so that there will be no doubt
about how their supporters will cast their
ballots In the election.
In raso the election results In a tie, as
now set ma probable, the selection of a cap
tain will fall to the athletic board, who
wlil then Delect a player from all of the
eligible men for the 1909 leader. If the
matter goes over to the board the election
o? a captain probably will be delayed two
or three weeks, and perhaps until after the
dirlitir.aa vacation, for the Nebraska board
Is a deliberative body and will not bo has
tened In Its work.
The two candidates for Cornhusker cep
taln have both been on the Nebraska eleven
for two years. They have, played good,
consistent foot ball during both soasons
and cither of them would make a good
leader for 19:9. Collins haa held down the
center position Curing the last two seasons
nd has proved to be one of the best men
who ever occupied the pivotal Job for the
Cornhuskers. He la a member of the Delta
L'imllon fraternity.
Frum haa played at tackle during his
varsity career and haa made a great de
fensive line man. He still has another year
of college foot ball to play and ought to
be a rtar next fall. He lives at Homer,
Neb.
Nebraska on Ilnles.
Nebraska will send a representative to
the meeting of the national foot ball rules
committee In New York during the Christ
mas holidays. Until this fall Dr. James T.
Lees haa been a delegate from Nebraska
and la at present a member of the com
mittee. Last spring he was removed from
the athletic board when a purity wave
swept over the state Institution and he
will not go to the foot ball meeting from
Nebraska this year. Some present member
of the board will bo aent In his stead.
The necessity of sending a new represent
atlve from Nebraska to the foot ball rules
meeting has caused considerable specula
tlon among certain individual at the state
school regarding the new delegate's pros
pects of getting on the committee aa Dr
J..ees successor. Fourteen representatives
from different universities and colleges
make up this committee which adopts the
officii foot ball rules for the country. Dr.
Iees has been a member of the organisa
tion since. 1906, the year It was formed, but
now that he la no longer Nebraska's rep
resentative ho will resign, and It Is doubt
ful whether a Nebraska man will be chosen
to fill li's place. .
It 1 beileved' that a certain individual at
the University of ; Iowa, who has been
yeaning for the' position and who has con
siderable Influence with several men on
the committee, will probably be selected
to fill the vacancy, and that Nebraska wilt
lose out on account of changing its repre
sentation. .. Interest tn Other "ports.
Now that the foot ball season Is over
more attention is being paid to, basket ball.
About five weeks ago the squad trying out
for the Indoor game numbered over forty
members. Now this number has dwindled
down to twenty, but will be augmented
next week by the addition of several of
the foot ball players.
The men who are showing the best form
In practice are Wood, Perry, Captain
Walsh, Hutchinson, Pctrashck, Rlchey, D.
Bell, Webb Jones, Waters and Long. Cap
tain Walsh and D. Bell, both members of
last sesson's five, will not be eligible for
the Intercollegiate games this year, and
several substitutes will need to be devel
oped to fill In the lineup for the games In
which the two veterans cannot play. Be
sides these two men, Woods and Perry are
"N" players of lust season, and they are
doing good work at forwards. Hutchin
son also Is showing up well as a goal
tosser.
At center retrashek find Rlchey are car
rying on a pretty little fight for the posi
tion. Rlchey wa on the squad last season
and displayed encouraging form. For
guards Jones, Waters and Iong appear to
be doing the best work. When the foot
ball players Join the squad competition Tor
places on tho five will become keener.
IJentley, a Cornhusker who won his "S" on
the 'varsity eleven this fall. Is regarded
as a strong candidate for a guard posi
tion on the basket ball quintet.
YORK HIGH HAS GREAT RECORD
Coach Brown Haa Developed a Fine
Macklae.
YORK, Neb., Dec. 6. (Speclal.)-York
High school foot ball team may well be
proud of the great record made In contests
with leading high school foot ball teams.
The team of 1908, composed of nearly all
new players, was one of the best teams
that ever represented York, and when It Is
understood that In years past York has had
Nebraska high school championship teams,
great credit must be given Coach Brown,
an ex-hlgh school star player. York was
most unfortunate In not being able to se
cure dates and games. Teams representing
smaller high schools of the state would not
make dates, and although every financial
Inducement was made to crack Iowa high
school teams, and even to Chicago teams,
because York was not as large a city as
Omaha they refused to niy York, thinking
that a team from York was not in their
class. This Is what East Des Moines
thought five years ago when on a cham
pionship tour, and were Induced to come
to York and were beautifully cleaned up.
Captain Wood will graduate this year and
will be greatly missed from the team. In
"Chub" Beaver and Coxey the team had
the services of great center and tackle. Dee
Bcott, the crack quarter and fullback. Is a
sophomore and has played brilliant foot
ball for two years. At quarterback posi
tion he showed great generalship. Wiley,
left half. Is the smallest and fastest man
on the team and weighs 134 pounds. It Is
his first year. He Is a natural foot ball
player and his average punts are forty
yards, Tllden, right tackle, is a new player
and has speed and Is an ideal tackle, and
carried the ball for many touchdowns. Al
vord, a new man, had never seen a foot
ball game until this fall and played right
halfback like a veteran. Carpenter weighs
1S9 pounds and Is 15 years old and looks
like a great foot ball player If he had more
experience. ' Myers, another 16-year-old
player, with another year's experience will
give a good account of himself. Meehan,
another new player, plays a good, consist
ent game and held much heavier men, and
tackles hard and low. Bord, playing guard,
Is another new, heady, hard-working player
who does his best at all times and made
great improvement. In Nelson, end, a new
man, York 'Is mdst fortunate, as he la one
of the swiftest, and a great offensive and
defensive player. McKensle, a freshman
played hia first game; and before the end
of the season made great development. F,
Wood, Junior, a utility man, played half
back, like a veteran, and another good
utility player waa Blood.
Much praise should be given "Brewey"
Browrt, a York boy and last year's greatest
college star player on the Bellevue team.
Emmet Osborn, coach of last year, assisted,
and to him great credit must be given for.
the development of practically a new team
and the great record it made, i
It Is possible that had York been able to
make match games with more eastern
teams It would have had just as clean
record as It now has. Taking In consider
ation that tn all match games York has
never been defeated, and that after playing
such teams aa Lincoln Military academy,
Beatrice, Falrbury, Osceola and Lincoln
they made 250 points, explains the story of
the great foot ball work done by York.

MORE BATTING IS THE CEY NOW
Base Ball Patrona Want to See Lib
eral Hitting.
NEW YORK, Dec. 6. Probably because
the baseball erperts in the west have
nothing else to comment upon at - thla
time, they are digging up the old move
ment about wanting more batting in base
ball. This subject has been gone over so
often that it no longer can be considered
significant. The magnates have taken up
the matter at different times during the
last five years, but finally became con
vinced that the rules of the trams are
good enough as they are.
While batting Is a big feature in base
ball ihe patrons of the game enjoy scien
tific fielding and pitching just aa much. The
pitcher atudlea the batter, and it gets so
that a pitcher soon learns the weakness
of every batter. Then, again, the fielders
get to know how the batter swings at
the ball. He knows that the pitcher can
curve the ball so that the batter will hit
into right er left field, and the fielder is
there or thereabouts when the ball Is hit.
There are so-called place hitters in the
business men who can fool the fielder
but there are a lamentably few of these
batters. There Is plenty of batMng In
base ball, or else the present-day player
do not hit as well as they did in the old
time. The veterans say so, but they will
not admit that the pitchers are stronger
and more trickier than In the old days.
OLYMPIAD THREE YEARS AWAY
Meeting; at Potsdam te Pick Place
for lBlV.
LONDON, Dec. . Simultaneously with
the ringing down of the curtain on the fifth
Olympic g auies at Shepherd's Bush, comes
the announcement that the International
Olympic committee will meet at Potsdam
rvfxt May to fix the location for the next
games In 1912. The crown prince of Ger
many haa aent the invitation for Potsdam
to be the scene of the conference, and It la
the belief that the choice will lie between
Berlin and Stockholm. Some people In the
old world think that 1913 Is a long -way off.
but those who have bad experience are of
opinion that the time 1 not too much when
the amount of work to be done Is property
Why Should You Pay From 50 to 100 Per Ceit More for
a. Car That Will DO No More Than the Oakland "Forty"
It Is a good, old-fashioned American habit, whether buying a cigar or a ten thousand-dollar house, to
look Into things a little before spending; your money, and see that you are paying not one cent more than
Is necessary. 4
You select an automobile for what It 19 and for what it will DO.
Of course, some foolish people will continue to pay fancy nrlces for a niaker'g name
But if we can show you a bigger, better automobile for $1,600 than any other maker anywhere is pro
ducing, don't you think it the part of wisdom to look into it before buying?
There is no Other Car Like the Oakland "Forty" -Sold for Less Than $2500
It has a forty-horse power motor, with cylinders caBt in pairs, giving more power than you will erer
want for ordinary driving, with enough reserve to overcome any hill you will meet, and to keep you ahead
of any car but the extreme high-power racing types.
SPEED SKATERS GETTING READY
Minus la New York Are ird fo

NEW YORK, Dec. .-Speed skaters are
anticipating many opportunities to race
this season, and the ice at the St. Nicholas
rink at the afternoon session is filled with
fast men preparing for the race meetings,
The Eastern Skating association hai
awarded to the St. Nlcholaa Skating as
sociation the sanction to hold a scries of
races on December 19, and a program for
three races has already been arranged aa
follows: A half-mile handicap, , one-mile
novice race and a two-mil handicap. This
will be preliminary to the races for the
Metropolitan championships In January,
and the eastern championships series In
February.
THE OAKLAND TWENTY

all the mechanical excellence of a big. high-powered car. Its two-cylinder

President O'Neill of the Western league
stopped in Omaha Saturday on nis way
west. He visited Preuldent Rouke of the
Omaha team and proceeded on to Lincoln
for a conference with President Green of
that city, and to Denver, to met the
Western league magnates there. He will
remain in California looking after private
interests for tho winter.
We have things so arranged that the
Western league should enjoy a prosperous
year In 1909," said Mr. O'Neill. "The ad
dition of Topeka and Wichita Is Mgmy
gratifying to me and to us all, and they
should add material strength. I believe
each team will be well equipped when the
season opens and prepared to give the fans
a might good run for their money."
President O'Neill confirmed the report
that he had engaged George Clarke or
Omaha as cne of the Western league um
pires for next season, though lie was
averse to making an official statement
until he had completed his staff of um
pires. Jack Haskell, of course, Is reserved.
As to the Blsr Question.
"I have no idea that the controversy be
tween the American association and East
ern league on the one hand, and the majors
on tho other, will precipitate any open
breach of base ball," said Mr. O'Neill. "I
do not feel that the president of the West
ern league should talk too much on that
subject Just now. though he feels terribly
interested. One thing we should have and
that Is sufficient territory left us from
which we may draft. Wo do not object to
giving classes A and B for the league
above us, but they should leave us classes
C and D. Giving them classes A and B
will mean that they have 136 teams from
which to draft, or 236 players available.
There are thirty-six clasa A teams and 100
class B, and under the rules of allowing
one draft on class A and two on class B
teams, this would give them chances at
236 players.
"I shall watch with Interest the meetings
to be held of the commission, the National
and American leagues, but, as I say, it's
not lime to orate."
One thing along this line which he eff
phaslsed was that what the class A's had
most to fear was trouble from within, of
an internal nature.
What we need is a governing body of
our own; then we will know what la gjlng
on and be able to tuke care of our Inter
ests. Any outcome of thla affair tbat will
bring about thla state will be ood for the
Western league."
Pueblo Joke Is Dead.
When the'matter of Ducky Holmes' quit
ting Sioux City or running Pueblo out of
the league was mentioned, Mr. O'Neill
simply laughed: "Well, of course, both
Pueblo and Sioux City will be In the
league next year and Mt, Holmes will be
manager of the latter team."
O'Neill does not ogree with President
Murphy of the Chicago Cubs that the spit
ball can be abolished or that the number
of balls should be reduced from four to
three to Improve batting.
"They can never run the spllter out,"
ha puts it. "It they did the pitchers would
resort to something else Just as bad, so
they will fall In their efforts at this re
form. And as to reducing the number of
balls to three. It won't do and won't go.
That's my prediction."
At which moment Pa Rourke Interposed:
"They'd better let the rules alons; they
are all right In those matters and tam
pering with them will work mischief."

REIT VARSITY CEEW AT TALE
Stamina to Be the Potat ol Chief
Reliance. .
NEW HAVEN, Conn., Dec. 6. The ef
forts of those who have lp charge the task
of rounding out a varsity crew at Tale that
shall defeat the Harvard sweepswlngers
at New Ixuidon next June are being devoted
at the present time toward the develop
ment of stamina in the men who will
be in the boat In the race against the
crimson, in the opinion of many who are
in touch with rowing at Tale, this sport
has reached its maximum point of speed;
hereafter endurance will decide the winner,
In the opinion of these. The coachea at
Talo are not putting from mind the in
cidents attending the Harvard victory on
the Thames last spring. Tale had the
speed, as was shown by the trials before
the day of the race; but Harvard had the
endurance. The blue stroke collapsed after
I the half-way mark had been passed, and a
number of the other Tale men showed the
effects of the pace. Harvard, on the other
hand, while tired, did not give In to the
strain, but paddled on to Bed Top. It was
stamina that the Tale crew aa a whole
lacked.
