LINCOLN, Dec. 18. -(Special. ) F. C.
Longmun, coach of Notre Dame, the team
that defeated Michigan and won the west
ern foot ball championship last fall, wants
to coach Nebraska next season. Ills appli
cation was received by Manager Eager this
afternoon. Longman has been urged to re
main at Nolro Dame next year, but In his
letter to the Nebraska manager, he declares
he would rather come to the CornhuFker
school.
The Notre Dame coach Is a former Uni
versity of Michigan player, and was a team
mate of "King" Cole, the Nebrawka coach,
lie was on the Wolverine eleven during the
season of 1!03, 1!XN and 1906. Since his
graduation from tho Ann Arbor school he
has been coaching foot ball teams. In 1K06
and 1907 he had charge of the Arkansas
eleven and the following fall he was head
coach at Wooeter. Last fall was his first
season with Notre Dame.
By defeating Michigan, In the only game
the Wolvrlnes lost last autumn, Longman
placed Notre Dame at the top of the list
in wttern foot bail and established a name
for himself among till best foot ball
coaches of the country.
C hurae of Professionalism.
Charges were made against the Notre
Dame players by Fielding Yost of Michi
gan alter tho Catholics had defeated hid
team. Yost declared some of Longman's
players were professionals, but Waller
Camp, who went to Notre Dame as a rep
itneniative of an eastern paper, failed to
secure uny evidence that would prove the
charges made by the Michigan coacn. Camp
gives the entire credit for Noire Dame's
fucciss to Longman, their head coach, and
he says the former Michigan player Is one
of the best coaches In the country, lie
itltiks Longman devised some of tlio most
successful plays that were used In either
the east or west.
What aciton Ihe Nebraska athletic board
will take on Longman s application Is un
certain, but two or three of the faculty
numbers are in favor of trying him for
one year. One of the leading Cornhuskor
mti'tors stated this afternoon that lie
would voto to hire Longman.
Sevtral of the foot ball players were
asKed If they would rather have Longman
than "King" Cole, and a majority of them
were in favor of keeping Cole anotliei
season.
All the athletic authorities who were
interviewed had no doubt that the present
Notre Dame coach could give the Corn
kuakers a champions! Ip eleven, and they
will givo his application considerable at
tention during the next two weeks.
Ltcal alumni of the university, when they
lean ed that Longmhn had applied for the
nebd coaching Job, said he ought to be
hired at any price. They declared they
were willing that the alumni of the uni
versity should hire the Nebraska coach fot
next fall and were v. lilii g to engage Long
man If the athletlo board would permit
them to do so.

Ihe Cornhurker batket ball five defeated
the freshmen quintet in a practice game
at the gymnasium last night by a score
of 66 to 24. The freshmen were up. match
The Klauck Olendales of the Commercial
league are no doubt bowling the best of
any team In Omaha at the present time,
having averaged close to 1,000 pins in their
last six games and also having established
a new league record for 190, by bowling a
total of S,os6 pins.
The team Is composed of three old-timers
In Lehman, Stapenhorst and Camp, with
Klauck and Oodenschwager comp.nlng the
team, the last two being considered the
pur of any other double In the leaRU",
ami It Is now conceded llirt the team that
ijtats them out will win the pennant.
The Brandels stores have organized
several teams and some of the boys are
gutting to be the real pln-gltting chaps,
Manley, Danforth, Boyd and'EUlnger with
a little more experience will be fit candi
dates for some of the big league teams.
A number of base ball teams have organ
ized bowling clubs, the must prominent
being the Hollys, Americans, Westaldes,
SiRnal Corps, Excelsiors and Yousem's
Colts, and they look as good on th alleys
as around the diamond.

Their declaration was followed by a gen

not specified, on an Invalid sister of the
lute president and to give her the Interest
on $5,000 a year during her lifetime.
The president submitted his annual re
port, In which he called attention to and
deplored the ' many postponements of
games. He argued that club owners
should show the same consideration to the
umpires that they do to players who lose
games. The behavior of the players on
the diamond last season was better than
ever before, said. Heydler.
Figures submitted In the report show
that the receipts pf the National league
olubs last . season, were Just 100 per cent
more than In 1903,' (he first year In which

Tommy Bresnahan and Frankie White
of Chicago fought ten rounds to a draw
at Stanek's hall Wednesday. Lester Mur
phy, the referee gave the decision after
one of the hardest fought matches ever
seen in South Omaha. White seemed to
bo landing more blows throughout the con
test, but Bresnahan s ability to receive
them with untiring ease, however hard
they came counted In his favor. In the
mean time he landed several good blows
In each round. He was not so good at in
fighting, but had a stinging right when at
the right distance.
White had the better of the first three
rounds without question, and for a few
moments It looked like Uresnahan had
met more than he could withstand. Ho
grew Btronger In the fourth, however, and
in the fifth had 4t on White by a fair mar
gin. The sixth and seventh rounds were
an even break; the eighth was also even,
although White staggered once or twice
and Bresnahan slipped to the floor.
Neither was able to land a severe blow In
the ninth round and in the tenth both men
were rushing in for advantage. As the
gong sounded Bresnahan had White on the
ropts, but the advantage was not ap
parent. Keep Referee Boi
The fight was full of clinches, so much
so' that the reftree had more work at times
than either of the contestants. In the
second round Brtsnahan's nose and llpa
began to bleed and continued to bleed
freely to the end. Ho showed no weakness
at any time and amlled through the claret
stream like It was the usual thing. White
hurt his thumb in the seventh round.
The crowd was large and orderly and
seemed about evenly d.vlded in opinion as
