"... i '.Chamberlain and Corey Are Being
Vim Boosted for Next Year s
I
Honor.
'NEBRASKANS LOOK EASTWARD
By JAMES E. LAWHBSTE.
LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. l?.-Spec!al.
The election of a captain for the Ilusker
foot ball team for 1916. will probably la e
place Monday evening at the regular
meeting of the Nebraska athletic board.
Letters are to be granted to the var
cttv at thla meeting and the selection of
a leader for the season follows Imme
diately. .
Ouy Chamberlain, the "wonder end."
and Tim Corey, Nebraska's tackle, are
the two talked of candidates for the Job.
Chamberlain, by reason of his remark
able ahowlng on the gridiron during the
season Just closed, appears to have the
call, : although Corey Is universally liked
snd commands the respect of the entire
student body at the university. Either
would make a splendid lesder.
. Nineteen are to receive letters for the
season the largest number ever grant ?d
at Nebraska. The recommendations of
Coach . Stiebm for letters call for this
number and will undoubtedly receive tho
approval of the board. The "N" men
are: Captain Rutherford, Abbott, Balls,
Caley. Cook, Corey, Chamberlain, Doyle,
Gardiner, Haberslaben, Kositsky, Moser.
Otoupallk, Proctor, Rasmussen, . Rlddell,
Reese, Shaw and Shields.
Talking; t Tear.
Talk has already started concerning the
1916 schedule, and at least one Intersec,
Uonal game with the east Is receiving
considerable attention. Eckersa.ll started
the dope with a yarn that Nebraska was
angling for a game with Brown and
Syracuse universities, which have' shown
a readiness to meet western teams.
Btlehra Is putting a soft pedal on the
talk of Intersections! contests. The Ne
braska mentor Is perfectly willing to
meet any of the easterners, but seri
ously doubts the possibility of a game
with any of the better class elevens and
does not care for one with any but the
best.
Four aamea are sure for next vear. The
nugkr, M unfor a two-year contract
to play the opening game with Drake, a
member of the Missouri Valley confer
ence. The Kansas game and Ames, both
to be played In Lincoln, and the Kansai
Aggies, also a member of the conference,
are other contests. Nebraska will not
cut loose from the Missouri Valley con-
ference and these four dates are certain.
HI. Attractions.
Iowa and Notre Dame furnished the bin
attractions for Nebraska during the last
season. It Is not likely that either will
be seen against Keoraaka next year, but

Improve their conduct next year. If
President James E. Gaffney has his way.
In a letter mailed tonight to every one
of the Braves under contract, the

"Umpire batting is a thing of the past.
It is a detriment to the winning of pen

who is fined by an umpire next season
must pay his own fine; and no plsyer
under suspension will receive salary dur

President Gaffney assured the players
that he would "back them to the limit,"
