1t is certain that with Dadisman at the
head of the team. there won't be any
dirty work. Dadisman is regular
Charles M. Sheldon hero as far as NOR
ais are concerned. Indeed, it is said
that Mr.. Sheldon has used Dadisman as
the model for several of the characters
I'm his books and that he is the hero of
Edward Blake, college student" story
of Washburn college. Dadisman is 4
member of Mr.. Sheldon's church, and
has been intimately associated with Mr..
Sheldon in various kinds of church
work
Besides all this. Dadisman is a good
football player, and has a physique like a
Greek statue. He can play almost any
position, and during the present season
has at various times played center, tao
kie and fu1lback Dadfsman is a fear
less player as far as his own safety is
concerned. and his only point of weak
ness as captain may be that he is not
aggressive enough and is one of the
kind of fellows that stops to apologize
TO his opponent after sitting down on
him.
Cunningham might have made bet
ter captain under some circumstances,
but in view of the factional troubles at
Washburn, il is likelv that Dadisman
can harmonic the discordant elements
more SUCCESSFULLY
When the formal ballot for captain
was taken, Dadisman received the un-
animous vote of the team.
The prospects for strong team at
Washburn next year are very bright.
Even if the proposed merger with the
Medical college falls through Washburn
will have a strong lot of players In
yesterdays game there were only three
Medic players, and although their SER
vices We're almost Indispensable it was
evident that as a team. the Washburn
eleven was stronger than at any time
this year.
Let petty factional ouarrels end and
the Topeka public will voice its approv-
al in its attendance at the games

enter iuto this election at all Cum

who were willing to stand as candi-
dates, and we found out by sort of
canvass of the players that more of them

make the first team. Mehl, Donahue,
Cunningham and Haynes will all be here

Steamer SylYanus J. Macy Sinks
in Furious Gale.

ENTIRE CREW BROWNS
Brother of the Captain Of the
Lost Steamer
Stood on His Own Vessel and
Saw Her 10 Down.

southwest gale on Lake Erie Sunday
night the steamer Sylvanus ]. Macy
sprang a leak off Port Burwell, Ont, and
plunged to the bottom, probably carry
ing her entire crew with her. The barge
Mabel Wilson which was being towed
by the Macy broke away from the
steamer in the darkness and succeeded
in sailing up the lake to Amhertburg,
where she arrived Yesterday afternoon.
The first news of the disaster was re-
ported by the steamer Albright, which
passed up the river early this morning.
She reported having passed through hNe

miles southwest OF Long Point, parts OF
the cabin, life preserVers and doors of
some vessel. The cabin was painted
white, but there were no Distinguishing
marks to tell what vessel it was from
The arrival of the Wilson, however,
leaves no doubt that the wreckage is
from the Macy as the last seen of that
steamer was in the near vicinity.
The Macy, with the Wilson in tow,
left Buffalo last Saturday with a cargo
of coal. When half way up Lake Erie
the gale was encountered and when
abreast of Port Burwell the tow line of
the barge was thrown off by the crew
of the Macy, leaving the steamer to
Shift for herself When last seen by the
crew of the Wilson. the Macy was labor
ing heavily in the sea and was evident
ly making for shelter. If the crew had
time to leave their ship before the
plunge to the bottom it is not believed
that the small boats could have lived
long in the terrible sea running. That
nothing has been heard of them has
convinced the owners that all are lost.
The Macy was owned by z. J. Ralph &
Co, Detroit. and was insured for s16.>
