CAPTAINS MUST GRADUATE.
Stenen Forced to Sign Contract to
Receive Degree at Chicago.

Chicago. Dec. 9.-FOotbau captains
must be students first and athletes
afterward at the University Of Chi
.cago. Walter Steffen, the new leader
Of the Maroon eleven, was asked 20
sign a written agreement TO remain at
the Midway school until he graduates
before his position as captain " the 1908
football team was ratified by the faculty.
The action was the result ot former
captains 10 take degrees after complet-
ing their terms of eligibility in intercol-
legiate sports. In a certain case a leader
Of the MarooRs left school soon after
his football career ended. This action
caused the faculty 10 take action. The
purity" profs declared that the failure
of captains TO graduate gave a profes-
sional aspect TO college athletics
When The new chief OF the Maroons
had affixed his name to the agreement
he was awarded the varsity &C" the
emblem given to captains. Steffen is the
first man 70 receive this emblem before
serving as captain.

WALTHOUR QUITS Big RACE
Georgian Says He Injured His Right
Shoulder.
Management of Six-day Event Are
Angry over the Riders
Withdrawal.

New York, Dec. 9.-Fourteen teams
were left tonight in the annual slx-day
bicycle race al the Madison Square Gar
den. All but one Of these pairs had been
among the sixteen teams that started in
the affair at I o'clock Monday morning.
and the other team was a constructed
combination.
The sensation OF the day was Robert
Walthours Withdrawal from the event.
He rode of the track at 9:S5 o'clock in
the morning. He said that his right
shoulder. which had been injured during
a race in Germany, in September, -as too
lame for him 70 be able 10 continue IN the
race
Manager p. T. Powers was very bitter
against Walthour, and said the Atlanta
man had quit deliberately The con-
sensus Of opinion among the trainers and
others was that Walthour had quit be-
cause he found mis- company TOO fast for
him.
