VANDERBOOM FOR CAPTAIN
Dashing Halfback Will be Chosen as
Leader Of Badgers.
New York Sun Special Service.

Madison, Wis, Nov. 2s.-Vander-
boom, the plucky and brilliant half
back, will probably be the next cap
tain Of the wisconsin football team.
Captain Abbott will graduate next
June and will not return. Fogg, the
little quarterback who has run the
team for three years, would probably
be given the captaincy if he expected
to return, but he, too, will graduate
in June The election will be. held at
the annual banquet to be given the
players next Wednesday night. o
: The question of continuing the sys-
tenn of graduate coaching, tried here
this season for the first time, is being
widely discussed, and while there
seems to be some who object to it, the
majority Of the sentiment in the in
stitution is in favor Of it. An attempt
will be made to induce Coach Curtis
to hold his position another year:
Curtis has started to take a medical
course in Chicago and he. desires to
devote his entire time to it;
Under sufficient pressure Curtis
could probably be induced to stay an
other year.
=. The preponderance,: "of opinion
among the wisconsin players is that
Michigan has the best team in the
west this year: ~

Professor J.. c. Elsom of the University
of Wisconsin delivered a lecture illus
trated with stereopticon-- pictures. on
Physical Training in the Schools: and Col
leges Of the United States, at the west
side high school. in Milwaukee, recently.
Professor Elsom. by way of introduction,
exhibited a. large, number of pictures of
statuary representing Greek athletes and
then threw upon the canvas pictures of
some Of the more notable athletes of the
Wisconsin university, claiming that the
modern athlete is fully UP to the ancient
one. ~
A series Of pictures showed the physical
deformities commonly met with among
students entering the state university. The
most common Of these showed one Should
er higher than the other. $500.
.'This, in many cases. said Professor
Elsom, sis due to the manner in which the
small child has been in the habit OF SIT

these deformities In the few years. al

Material This Year Is Not Up to.
Standard Of Some Former
Seasons.
All Star Team Selected From Among
the Best Players Of the
City.

The all-star high school team this
year is, it must be confessed, not en-
,tirely up to the standard of some
previous seasons. There are no backs
who class with such men. as O'Brien,-
Bidlake, Liggett, Harris or Norton.
The material generally is lighter than
in most; years, especially at the ends
and behind the line. 81
Mccarthy Of; Central high is clearly.
entitled to the place at center. He has
been the backbone Of his team during
the whole season.. and is by far the
headiest and trickiest man in the BUSH
ness. Bowman of South high has
more weight, but not SO much expert
ence or knowledge of the game. :%%
Berg of South high outclasses the
other guards. He plays a good de-
fersive game: and is the best line
plunger of the year in any position.
He is remarkably heavy for high
school guard and promises to make a
good man for the varsity, as he has
Oswald of North high is given the
other position. He has played a
steady and consistent, tho not a snowy
game, Morrill, of the same team has
not lived up to his reputation.
ostrand of South high has plenty
strong ground gamer, but has been
very successful in breaking thru on
the defensive. j. Oswald Of North
high and Martin of Central have
played well. ~
Chestnut of South high has done re-
markablet defensive work, and Oppos-
ing teams have; found his end prae-
| tically invulnerable. This may be
partly due to the good assistance
rendered him by his teammates, Berg
and Ostrand, butthe quality of Chest
nuts work cannot be gafnsaid. Win
gate of: North high is light, but has
! played nervy; heady game. Solen1
and Castor also have done good work.
Yerxa outclasses the other quarters
in brilliancy of play, as we'll as in ex-
perience. Barrett of North high has
done good work, as has McGregor OF
South high. Wyman of East high is
shifted to halfback. altho he has
played fuIlback all season. He is, a
strong. ground gamer, and fair de-
fensiVe man. Hawley Of Central is, a
remarkably shifty man, and has lots
of nerve. The same. may be said of
Best of North high. ;F'rykman and
Ludwig of. East high have the right
physical makeup, but neither is in
c1ined to fight hard for distance when
carrying the ball.
Marks has done the best work at
fu1lback, in line plunging, and. In in
! reference. Morse is another good
man, but, not as aggressive a player
as Marks. - go .s{.s
No attempt has been made to select
men from either Of the two st. Paul
teams, as the material there is of poor
quality, and the elevens have not
played enough Minneapolis teams to
show the real ability Of their men.

looks to Coach Warner as sharing with
the captain much of the responsibility,

Honolulu, January %, 1908.
Then Lorrin Andrews asked Chief
Justice Frear to give his views of the
changes he had found it expedient to
recommend to the legislature in the
course Of the arduous task he had un-
dertaken in going over all the laws of
the Territory, with view to the sim
plif1cation of the present complicated
system.
The Chief Justice said he was doubt
full of the expediency of taking up the
time of the Association by making such
an exposition at this time. 1t would
perhaps be better for the Association to
appoint committees on the several
classes of subjects to be considered
with reference to bringing order out of
the chaos of Hawaiian laws, such COM
mittees to have power to draft bills.
Lorrin A. Thurston said that Chief
Justice Frear had given him a brief
summary of some of the difficulties he
had met with in his work some DAYS
since, and of some of the recommended
ticns he would propose in the line of
Improvement, and he thought that
1T would be of great value if Mr..
Frear would consent to make the whole
association the same exposition he had
made in his talk with him.
Mr.. Hartwell also thought that it
would be an excellent idea to hear from
the Chief Justice, and Mr.. Frear came
forward and told the association what
he had been doing, briefly, and what,
in his own opinion, it was necessary
yet to do
There seems to be an idea in some
quarters" said Chief Justice Frear.
