Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 13.-The athletic
authorities of the University of Neb-
raska are In. the market for a football
coach, their desires being inspired by
the retirement Of Amos P. Foster.
Foster steps down at Nebraska as a
result of a fattering offer to enter the
law practice with Cincinnati firm.
He was elected coach of athletics for
the full year at Nebraska and asked to
be relieved of his duties for the re-
mainder of the year, with a tentative
understanding that the resignation
should not operate against him in his
desire to return next fall and resume
his place as football coach: The ath-
letic board, however, was not disposed
to approve this plan, and Foster, ac-
request until it became a resignation,
on which basis it was accepted by the
Nebraska authorities. 49,. ~
In accepting the resignation, the
board allowed him salary only lacking
500 of the amount for the full year.
Following Fosters decision, the
Nebraska authorities lost no time in
the institution of negotiations. looking
to the choice Of new coach. Dr..
CduleS L. lcoS, cud1Imdu OI Cuo DOarO,
is conducting the correspondence, and
is already in touch with several posi-
BILE candidates for the place. The COS.
sip at Nebraska points to the likely
consideration as Foster successor Of
several well-known coaches who have
already won their spurs. In this list
are "King'' Cole, coach at Virginia
university; "Bill''- Turner Of Syracuse
university; Dan McGuigan of Wander
bi1t, and Herrnstein of Ohio state uni
versity. All of this quartet were ap-
plica,nts. year ago for the, Nebraska
coachship and each has just closed a
successful coaching season. Coinci-
dentally, all Of these men are former
pupils: Of Yost at Michigan and the
selection of one of this four would oc-
casion no serious surprise in Nebraska
athletic circles. Nebraska, in any
event, is in the market for thoroly
competent football instructor and the
athletic board will spare no reasonable
expense in the achievement Of that
desire. L.

height eof the playing season and in
August the pitcher came near striking
out, but managed to get around to fin
ish the season, tltho not in good con-
dition; He is now living in st. Paul.
A funny wrinkle came up today in
Mike Kelley s. suit, against the.l Min
neapolis Baseball company. for the sal
airy due him for services in the latter
part of the season. Service was COM
pleted on City Clerk Lydiard, who
still stands on the books of the secre-
tary OF. state as secretary Of the or
ganization.
There has been no change of organi-
cation or ownership. so far as the sec
rotary has an official knowledge, and
Kelley s suit is now directed against
his bosom friend. This little tangle,
tho, is merely "a legal ,formalitv, and
will right itself in time. Twenty days
will elapse in which the defendants
have time to answer .Kellev's suit, and
if they do not respond, Judgment will
be entered against the organization.

faster pace. By Z o'clock the average
hourly speed had been raised to more
than nineteen miles, as against sixteen

zap, but grand sprinting by John Be-
cell, Walthour 8 partner, frustrated the
move; The attempts Of Walthour and
Bedell to regain the lap they are be-
hlnd the other twelve teams remains
the chief point of interest with the
spectators. The struggle of these rid
ers has made them favorites with the
pubic, and their every effort out of the
ordinary is heartily cheered. The for

strength They have practically set the

When Kllroy signed last season, he

this fact, some one placed him on the
