(Special.) With the fight between the student ard faculty members of the athletic' board at n end, the attention of tn stunetus n the elate university has again been turned to the approaching election of a captain for the 1im foot hall team. The attempt to change the system of ath letic control lert some sore spots imnin a few of the men Immediately concerneu n the scran, but these are expecteit to heal over soon, leaving the situation much as It vm befor the revolutionary move ment was started. The action of the regents In accepting the revlded recommendations of the atrv letlc board left the system of athleto govtrnment lust as it waa nerore aim yet gave the athletic department a more dlenifled footing Rrfore. yesterday the Back had I athletics were governed by rulea made ny the senate and the atnieiic wara Now the rules which control the athletlca closed, but at any event he probably will are those of the regente not be with the Rourkes when the IX season opens.

The function- of this professor These new rules provide for the same management and athletic board that have controlled athletics before. The only changes made from the former system were to put all athletics under the de partment or physical education ami iu provide that after the season of 1909 a Blngle coach for both foot ball and base ball shall be hired. In Dlaclr.ir the athletics under the ae partment of physical education tne re gents provided for a professor of physical comer of all the Rourkes, and George Is something of a picker. But what the Omaha team will accomplish next aeaaon must re main a problem for the present; it Is all on pajwr to far. With new men at first, third, probably short and a change In the field, with additions to the box and catching department. If would be haxardlng a guess to attempt to say what Pa Rourke will do In 1909, one thing can be relied on he will do a lot of tall scrambling for that flag for will be aimply to advise the athletic board In athletic matters. He will have no powers to act by himself. In providing lor a foot ball coacn who shall atay at the university tne year round lh recrpnf fcertt this rule from going Into effect until after the next foot ball aeaaon in order to allow "King" Cole to return aa roach of the erldlron eleven next fall. 'King" is not nupponed to De basa ball coach, and If the rule naa gone into effect at once It pruoauiy wouu have meant that some other man who could train botli the foot ball and base ball teams would have been engaged for XtL la the moat rilannnnlntiwl man In Iha .. next season. The sentiment Of the StU cie-ni ana iacuuy mnnur!i m wio nunriiL over the way things wound up In 1908. Great -beams of light have broken In on Omaha since September 14. It Is apparent already that local fans never have been as anxious for a Winning team aa they are for one next season. With the two Kansas towns added making an eight-team circuit Omahans feel that a pennant would mean much mora thin It haa meant In the last few rears and that Omaha should be able to capture It. Well. Old Reliable Jawnle Gomilng will be there aa per usual. - ' What a change has come over the world: la the aeaaon of 1909 only one member of the Pittsburg team waa suspended Abbatlctilo. Back In the '&' the Pirates did well not to have a man suspended or penal lied In some manner every day. Pitts burg and Baltimore then were about the toughest towns on the base ball map and when a visiting team went Into ore and took a came It did so at a certain amount ef peril to Itself. Well, the answer in, that the day of rowdyism haa gone not only in Pittsburg and Baltimore, but everywhere; It's a relic of the past. , "Chick" Autrey never had a photograph taken since he became a ball player fx- kept In his base ball uniform. That's prob- board who proposed this rule to the regents is that Cole should be engaged for another season and they did not wish to have any rule made that would prer vent his coming uacK to iseoraisKa next fall. The election of the 1909 captain has been set for Tuesday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. Before the election takes place the "Ns for this season will have to be rranted. This vear more depends on the a-rantlng of the letters than In any previous season, ror tne reason tnai If one player, whose winning of a nu meral Is not now certain, is awarded the letter the election of next year'a captain may be changed. It 18 understood now that the thirteen men who are certain to get "Ns" have made up their minds as to how they are to vote, and that they stand divided. 7 to s. If Temple is granted a letter it is expected he will join the ranks of the six men, making the vote a tie. In caae of a tie vote the election will he thrown into the hands of the athletic board and then may be postpones until after the Christmas holidays. OFFICER!

Floyd McParland, the veteran bicycle rider of California, won the sixteenth annual aix-day race for the team of MacFarland and lloran at Madison Square Garden last night and set a new dis tance. Rutt of the Rutt.-Stol, German-Hoi land team, finished second, and Demara of the Demara-Hlll combination, the former of California and the latter of Boston, was third. The final sprint of one mile was be tween the representatives of these three teams, wtilcfli were on equal terms as to distance covered, the others withdrawing to give them a clear track. The three teams that took part In the final dash covered 2,737 miles one lap in 142 hours, which li three miles seven laps ahead of the record set by Miller and Waller In 1S99. Following Is the stand;ng of the eight teams that finished the race: MacFarland and Moran Rutt and Stol Hill and Demara Walthour and Root Collins and Mitten Galvin and Wiley Anderson and Vanonl Palmer and Drobach Former record: 2733.4. All the riders except MacFarland, Rutt and Demara left the track at 10 o'clock and one minute later these three riders, who had led the others by one or more laps for the last three days, began the decisive mile. They started at a good clip and sprinted desperately for the last three laps. MacFarland got the lead and finished scarcely five feet ahead of Rutt. who was the same distance ahead of Demara. The money prizes that went to the sur viving teams were divided as follows: Fl-st, 11.600; second, tl.OCiO; third, TOO; fourth. 1500; fifth, 300; sixth, 1250; seventh, 1200. Great Crowd at Finish. Early In the evening an enormous crowd gathered In the big amphitheater to witness the final hours of one of the most keenly contested bicycle races held In the sixteen years history of six-day contests. Prob ably 12,000 persons watched tho ellipse around which the riders of the eight re maining teams steadily rede until the bell sounded for the final sprint between the leaders. As the score stood when the night crowds began to gather It was a vital certainty that the teams represented In the last desperate dash of a mile thct would decide the race and determine the 1908 champion ship, would be tho Rutt-Stol, MacFarland Moran and Hill-Dcmara combinations. Attention was largely centered upon the riders of these teams, who were tied for the lead, as they wound around the course, warily watching eBch other for the least sign of an attempt to gain a lap. At the same time the three leaders were con stantly on the alert to prevent their nearest rivals, the Walthour-Root team, from gain ing the one short tenth of a mile that meant the addition of another man to the list of starters in the deciding mile rush. There were many short sprints during the evening, under the inspiration of a big enthusiastic crowd, but all proved fruit less as there was no change In the relative D15 FRuni3t.Om4hA County Clerk.

Pace Fast from Beginnings The pace was fast from the opening today. Throughout the week almost every hour showed new records over those established by Miller and Waller in 1S99 and Elkes and MacFarland In 1900. ' The pace was too fast for several of the teams and they were forced to drop out under the pressure. For the last four days, how ever, the leaders were those of the closing hours. All three racers showed remarkable staying power, Rutt and Stol, last year' winners being picked on form by many from tha start to close In the lead and win out in the sprint. The veteran Mac Farland on a previous winning team, rid ing with the steady-going Moran, was another strong favorite. Hill and Demara, hitherto unknown to the six-day . racing enthusiasts here, won popular approval by their clever and game riding. Walthour and Root lost a lap In mid-week and for the last three days they dogged the heels of the leading teams with steady per sistence, using every trick ' of the cycle track to get upon even terms with the foremost teams. Riders Gain In Weight An Interesting feature was the weight of the men, which was taken at noon today 133 hours after the start last Sunday night With but three exceptions, the riders gained from two to seven pounds during the contest, Rutt gained two pounds; Stol, two; Mac Farland, seven; Hill lost three; Demara, no gain; Salthour gained, six; Root, two Colins, three; Mitten lost, 6; Calvin gained, three; Wiley, no gain; Anderson gained, four; Vanonl gained, two; Palmer lost, two; Drobach gained,, four; Moran two.
