THE BEE: BJARD OPPOSES POLITICS Cornhuskers Casting About to Select Foot Ball Captain. BHONKA AND TEMPLE NAMED Siana of Frateraity Feeling Mani- fosnted, bu Strite May e Checked—Meritn of C: tda: LINCOLN, Dae. 2.—(Special)—It has veloped during the ‘ast two days there will be at least two candidat the captaincy of the 1910 Cornhusker foot ball eleven. Only a few days ago it was taken as a certainty that Leroy Temple of Lexington would be the unanjmous cholce of the letter men for next season leader. Now 8. V. Shonka, Al-Missouri Valley center, is mentioned as » candidate for the place, and It is feared that the election will get into politics the one 4id last fall, when Collins and Frum sought the captalncy and Beltzer was elected as a compromise candidate. de- that tor Among the undergraduates of the univer- | #ity there is a feeling that Temp'e is en- titled to the captalney, because of his service to the team; vet Shonka is a mighty popular fellow with all students, and his friends are pushing him for the eaptainey. Temple is a fraternity man and Shonka Is a nonfraternity student; being s0 considered, although he is a member of Acacia, a university Masonic fraternity; and there ls a vague rumor to the effect that Shonka s being pushed for the captaincy In opposition to Temple because the latter fs a' “frat” man. Sev- eral of Shonka's friends, however, declare it is absurd to even hint that Shonka is being “run” as an entl-fraternity candi- date. They are backing him, they say, because they believe him to be the best man for the position The Nebraska Athletic board, In event that the captaincy gets too deep into po't- tics, will take steps to put an end to the wire pulling. The entfre board s set on preventing a repetition of last ason's disgracetul election, and may oven go so far as to take the sclection of a captain out of the hands of the players, Too Much Sport Politics. A prominent faculty member of the bourd made the following statement this afternoon regarding the situation: “Nebraska athletics cannot stand another disgracetul election like the one of last season. That hurt our foot ball ecleven of this fall and caused one good player to stay away from the gridiron this season If this election gets into politics we will have to take Immediate steps to get it out. There scems to be no question as to whom should be elected captain this fall; one of the two candidates has earned the honor and the players have no right, because of personal considerations, to keep him from getting the position.” The first step the athletic board will take toward preventing a bad fight over the captaincy will be to call an early moeting for the foot ball men to select next fall's leader. It is thought that celay in the election will give the rival forces time to do a great deal of wire pulling and to create much (Il feeling. A year 6g0 mem- bers of the team were on several occa- elons close to fistic encounters, and Ne- braska's foot ball eleven suffered much from lack of good feeling created at that time. A new system of electing the foot ball captain s to be adopted soon that will do away with all chances for wire pulling and will permit the best man for the place to get it. Just what this new plan will be has not béen agreed upon as vet. The election of this fall has been delayed until the scason's letter men are nlcked, Thr athletic board has been walting to adopt Tet Me Tell You Something— | a new system for granting letters and it s not likely that the letters will be awarded until next week. All lotter men are allowed to vote for captain. Temple, whom the majority of the stu- dents think Is the logical man for the place, has played two years on the Corn- husker eleven. He 18 a tackle and is rated as ons of the best In the west. He was & real star on this fall's team. Shonka, the other candidate, played his first year for the Cornhuskers this fall, belng stationed at center. He was a bril- l'ant man at that position, and one of the hest that ever wore a Nebraska uniform | ¥ still has two years of foot ball to play, while Temple has but one. Both players are popular with the students and the elec- tion of either will be satisfactory to under- graduates, though Temple s thought to be deserving of the honor. WITH THE BOWLERS.

Date of Contest Between Jeffries and Johnson Probably Will Be July 1910, Says the Suc- cesstul Bidder. NEW YORK, Dec. 2.—The world's cham- plonship fight between and Jack Johnson will be held in San Franclsco before a club organized by “Tex." Rickard of Ely, Nev, and Jack Gleason, the .fight to take place probably on July 4, 1910. The bid made by Rickard and Gleason of a purse of §101,00 and the contestants to take per cent of the moving picture receipts, was accepted by representatives of Johnson and this afternoon. “Tex.” Rickard sald today fight were awarded to him it probably would be held clsco. My bld Is for Utah, Nevada or Califor- nia,” he sald, “but in Utah it 1s not at all ocertaln that we can hold the fight. In N. vada, where the laws will permit, we can- not get a crowd large enough to pay the guaranteed purse, £0 that leaves San I'ran- clsco with practically a clear fleld. The successful bid provides that the fight shall take place in California, Utah Nevada on a date to be set later, but it was stated that without doubt the con- test would take place in San Francisco. In view of the fact that James Coffroth, manager of the Mission Athletic club at Colma, Cal, controls certain patents on moving pictures, it was thought Rickard and Gleason would likely enter into some arrangement with him whereby they could have the fight take place in the Colma | arena. T. J. McCarey of Los Angeles and Eddle Graney of San Francisco made a vigérous protest against the acceptance of Rickard's | bid, declaring their blds were higher and should have been accepted. They asserted that Rickard's bid had been accepted In | advance and that other bidders stood no chance. The final articles for the fight will be drawn up by lawyers and signed in Ho- boken, N. J., tomorrow. that If the ana Gleason in San 'Frisco May Change Ordinance. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2.—The news from New York that the Jeffries-Johnson world's champlonship fight would be held In San Francisco, although not unexpected, has caused keen satisfaction among ring followers in this city. Already speculation is rife as to the of the battle- | ground. The laws of California permit finish fights, but contests within the ity are so regulated by the municipal authorities that only twenty-round exhibitions can be given. There 1s a bellet, however, that owing to the tremendous importance of the cham- plonship battle pressure may be brought to | bear on the incoming administration to walve all restrictions and grant permission to the proomters to hold an uniiimted con- test in the city of San Francisco. In such an event It ix generally understood the base ball park of the Pacific Coast league, on Valencla street, near Fourteenth, will be the scene of the battle. On the other hand, thero 1s an underour- rent of opinion that an arrangement has been etfected with Coffroth, in which case it is almost certain that the fight will be taken to Coffroth’s Mission Street arena. Here unlimited contests are permitted without molestation, but the arena would have to be enlarged. location DEFEATS DEMAREST CLINE | Easy Vietory for Chicago Man in First Playoff of Triple Tie. | NEW YORK, Deo. 2.—The first game of the triple tie between Demaresi, Ciine and Sutton In the {nternational proféssional 18.2 baik line billlard champlonship was won Wednesday at Madison Square Garden h?’ Calvin Demarest of Chicago, from Harry P.
