HI supporter, and among them men who were hi pupil, deny that Hinth was anything but a gentlcmnn during his carter at this university. Never had any charge been backed up by substantial proof, and "Rummy's" friends challenge anyone to show Inntance In, which he did not conduct himself aa he ' should have done. If la aupportera have been endeavoring to convince the faculty membera of the board that Uooth Is a "clean" fellow and that he Ih a coiich that Nebraska should have at the head of It foot ball next fall. How well these men have succeeded w ill be known when the board meeta Monday evening. JuM now Uooth has five,' of the six votes necessary to elect, and that number la sure to cast for him Monday. If the men who are working for Booth can Ret another vote. "Bummy" will coach Cornhusker foot ball next fall. Will Com If Fleeted. Although Booth hna not applied for the position of conch, yet he will accept the Job If he la -elected to It. He has prom ised this to the men who art working In his Interests. If he does not come to Nebraska he will go to Missouri, but he will not take the Tiger Job until he has been refused the place at this school. During the week several former foot ball players who were trt Lincoln went be fore membert of the faculty to urge the selection nf' Booth. Two of these were Fred liunter and ex-Cnptaln Weller, who were players under Booth. Glen Mason, "Chirk" Shedd and John Westover have been working In behalf of Booth. A petition, asking for the election of Booth, that containa the signatures of Lincoln's most prominent cltlxens, will be placed before the board Monday eevnlng. Among the signers of this paper are all tht men of thla city who have supported Cornhusker athletics the tnont loyally for the last ten years. Besides having the names of Lincoln men, the petition con tains the signatures of several prominent men who live out In the statu nd In Omaha. ( To Hire Base Ball Coach. At the meeting Monday night the athletic board will also choose a coach for the base ball team. Four men are being considered for that place, and they are: Oren Beltzer, captain of the 1SH8 Cornhusker team: Coach Rothgeb of Colorado university; C. Mason, former catcher of . the Lincoln Western league team; Clarence Morse, ex-Corn-hufcker base ball star and captain of the team In 190R. and James Sullivan, captain of the Michigan university nine last season. Rothgeb. who was a star foot ball and base ball player at Uie University of Illinois before he went to Colorado, la favored for the Cornhusker base ball conch by soma membert of the board. Others would like to try Mason, who was a player at Illinois three years ago. But the desire of the majority of the board to try the graduate coaching system In Cornhusker athletics will probably lead to the selection of Buck" Beltaer. For three years Beltxer was a star per former on the Cornhusker nine, and In his last season was captain of the team. HI position was third base, and there he played n excellent fielding game. He know a the college diamond game, with all Its fine points, and the Cornhusker mentors have confidence In hie ability to turn out a fwt nine. ; k Baaket Ball Reason-to Open. Tha Cornhusker basket ball shooters will open the Missouri valley basket hall race at home with Ames In two games on Fri day and Saturday evenings of next week. These will be the first games of the cham pionship race. The s-ames the Cornhuskcrs plsycd with Kansas Inst week did not figure In tho title series. Since their southern Invasion, which was anything but a sucoess. the Nebraska five has been trying new tactics In their play ana may mink tliey rave overcome tho weak polnta that were exhibited In their play against Kansas. A change will be made In the lineup before tho games next week that is calculated to strengthen the quintet.

PLAN TO BEF0KM RULES OF GAME lalted Mates Aesex-latlon May B Asked to Make Changes Asked by All Sections of the Coaatry. CHICAGO, Jan. ' 15.-The conservatives In western golf circles appear to be gain ing in strength with every new arrival and It begins to appear as If the expansion movement may be side-tracked at the an nual meeting of the Western Golf associa tion here. It became known today that a number of the leading golfers of the west have been carrying on a correspondence with Fresldent Jacques and other officials of the United States Golf association. If the plans of the conservatives are car ried out the Western Golf association will adopt a resolution calling on the United States Golf association to make tha re forms which many players of both sections deem necessary. Even If the peace party triumphs In the expansion battle there la almost certain to be a lively struggle between the repre sentatives of the Mlnlkahda club Of Min neapolis and the Detroit club for the amateur championship of 1910. Both dele gations are now here and engaged Ih lively campaigning. The Mlnlkahda group Is headed by Wendell Hertlg. while Presi dent Holt la leading the Detroit cause. Among the prominent golfers already here from 'out of town are President-elect Horace F. Smith of NaBhvllle, President J. C. Fennell of the Transmlsslsslppl Golf association arid President F. L. Woodward of the Denver Golf club. The annual election will be held, but as there la only one ticket in the field It will be elected by acclamation.

IOWA SCHEDULES ABE MIXED Nebraska and Drnko HarlnR- Hard . Time to Fix Date. IOWA CITY, la., Jan. 15.-(Speclal.-An unusual mtxup has resulted in the forma tion of the Missouri Valley conference foot ball schedules, as Nebraska, with its decla ration that It must play Kansas on No vember 6, has complicated the situation. Also the declaration of the Cornhuskers that they will play Ames on November 12 ha not added In settling the difficulties which materially affect every college In the conference. Nebraska was forced to omit tho Ames game last year In order to accommodate . Kansas, and it la demanding that Kansas make the same concession this year. In view of these rather arbitrary declarations, there Is a general deposition among the conference members to brand the Corn huskera as dictatorial. The atand of Nebraska is giving Drake university of Dea Moines considerable trouble In Ita schedule. If the wishes of Manager Eager are acceded to. Kansas cannot play Drake on November 6, as originally planned, but there Is a chance that October 22 may be the date decided on. However, Drake Is planning on playing Illinois on October 8, In view of a letter Xrora Manager E. T Ingotd of the Illlnl to Manager John L. Griffith of Drake. Therefore, Illinois and Kansas In the same month, two weeks apart. Is not an alluring proposition to the blue and white. Iowa'a board Is holding up most of the negotiations pending the settlement of the Wisconsin situation. If the Badger authori ties decide on the seven-game schedule without the stipulation that the additional two games be with state teams, then Iowa will probably play Wisconsin next year. a game wun Purdue la a certainty and the Minnesota and Iowa managements are sparring around for a date.

BOWLING COSTS BIO MONEY Detroit Committoe to Spend Small Fortune Before Opening:. DETROIT, Mich., Jan. 15.-Very few people have the Irast Idea of how much money Is required to prepare for and con duct one of the annual tournaments of the American Bowling congra, such aa will be held In this city during February and March. Probably not 100 bowlers In the country could give any Idea of the finances required, locally and general, to make this big wlnteT sporting event a success. To begin with, It will require between $10,000 and $12.00 to put In alleys at the Wayne Hotel gardens and prepare that place for the coming pin apllters. All In all, the local Bowling Tournament company will have spent $20,000 before the doors are opened, February 2S. But this Is only a start on what It costs the bowlers of the county to oonduct the big tournament. From present Indication, the entry list will reach 450 five-men teams, coming from as far east as Mon treal and Brooklyn, on the south from Mobile, and Denver and St. Paul In the west and northwest. These men will spend from $W,000 to $40,000 In railroad fare, and probably twice that amount while In the city of Detroit. To the person who Is not a bowler, It seems almost Incredible to state that these enthusiasts do all this to go after' cash prlxes and that their own money, The pot In Detroit will be something like $30,000. Detroit and Michigan have many thousand bowler who have been unable In the past to attend this big International event, so this state will undoubtedly turn out large. One of the national officials from Chi cago, In the city this week, predicted that at least seventy-five teams would come from there, running two special trains. The very low railroad rate made, one and one-half fare for the round trip, will greatly assist In Increasing the attendance to Detroit. Other places that will run special trains are Milwaukee, Louisville, St. Louis, Indianapolis and Toronto Wash ington, D. C, and St. Paul, Minn., both promise to turn out the largest crowds they have ever sent to an A. B. C. tourn ament. From these facts and figures, local bowlers, as well as others Interested, can form some Idea what It means to Detroit to have the tenth International tournament, which opens February 26, and closes March 15. Local bowlers worked hard to secure this tournament, campaigning at St. Louis and Cincinnati before being successful at Pitts burg lost February. Also many local bowlers have done much good and effec tive work during- the last few months to make the event here a success, raising money and creating local enthusiasm as well as handling the general preparations. But there Is one man that has made It more than possible for Detroit to success fully conduct this big sporting event. That Is James R. Hayes, whose liberality In furnishing the hail, considered by far tho best ever offered the American Bowling; congress, both In equipment aa well as central location; Mr. Hayea la a great lover of aU kinds of sport, and when the matter of this tournament comlrur to De troit was put to him one year age ho made such a good proposition that thla city could not help but win.

The proposal of the French government to levy a. tax on automobiles brought Into the country for touring purposes has led to a study of the subject of automobile touring In France. 80 many waya of getting 'Into France exist, however,, that la impossible to compile complete figures; In fact, tourists .from only two countries, Great Britain and America, were taken into consideration. The Royal Automobile club of Great Britain has Issued, or expects to issue shortly, 908 trlptlquea to American and English automoblllsts visiting Franoe, The Motor union will Issue 200. The Asso ciation Generals Automobile, either di rectly or through Us English branch, also will issue 200; the automobile association f estimates Us number at 652; the Touring Club of France, In addition to the trlp tlquea Issued to some of the above-mentioned societies, has sent 100 trlptlquea di rect to American automoblllsts. These clubs and associations have together Is sued 2,000 trlptlques in one year to Ameri can and ' English automoblllsts visiting France only, for these figures co not cover trlptlques issued for other European coun tries. A further idea of the Importance of the touring movement can be gathered from the fact that the Touring Club of France Issued 8,400 triptlques for the year which closed October 1, and, that It has deposited 2,651,107 franca with the customs authorities as guarantees for these trlptlques. W. S. Hogan, the European representative of the Automobile Club of America, says that tho number of applications for trlp tlques was greater last year than ever before. On a very moderate estimate, the 2,000 trlptlques issued to American and English automoblllsts last year represent not more than 50 per cent of those coming from these two countries for touring In France, It Is safe to say that the number of visit ing automobiles was not less than 4,000 for the year. Aa the average number of passengers is six this makes a total ot 24.000 visitors who have sped over the high ways of Franca on autos last year. It Is not always realized what a valuable asset the American and English automo blllsts is to France. The average auto- mobllist remalna one month. The Ameri can rarely stops less than alx weeks, while tha Englishman is satisfied to "run over" for a much better period. The minimum expenditure of a party of touring automo blllsts la CO francs a day for each person, this sum representing hotel accommoda tion, food, upkeep of the automobile and Incidentals, but Ignoring amounts spent on works of art, presents and other ItemB. On such a basis the 24,000 visitors Intro duced into France last year by the auto mobile must have left behind no less than 36,000,000 francs. In view of such a train of gold, the proposal of the French gov ernment to Impose a tax on visiting auto moblllsts appears to be ' unsound policy. A feature of the development of foreign touring la the number of Americans who now visit Europe In American automobiles. Everything has been made so simple by the various touring associations that the American automobllist plans for a tour through Europe with aa little fear of difficulties aa If he were about to make a run through the Berkshires.
