Election VIII. he Held Tuesday After

LINCOLN, Neb.. Dec 1s.-(Special.)-
With the fight between the student ard
faculty members OF the athletic board AZ
the state UNIVERSITY has again been
turned to the approaching election Of a
captain for the 1908 foot ball team. The
letic control left some sore spots among
a few Of the men Immediately concerned
In the scrap, but these are expecten 70
heal over soon, leaving the situation much
as II was before the revolutionary move
ment was started.
The action Of the regents in accepting
the revised recommendation Of the ath-
letic board left the system OF ATHLETIC
government Just as it was before and
dignified footing. Before yesterday the
athletics were governed by rules mace
by the senate and the athletic board.
Now the rules which control the athletics
are those of the regents.
These new rules provide for the same
management and athletic board that have
changes made from the former system

single coach for both foot ball and base
ball shall be hired.

In providing for a foot ball coach who
shall stay at the university tne geaI
round the regents kept this rule from
going into effect until after the next loot
ball season in order TO allow king Cole
to return as coach of the grtdtron eleven
next fall. King" is not supposed TO be
a base ball coach, and If the rule had
gone into effect at once II probably would
have meant that some other man who
could train both the foot ball and base
ball teams would have been engaged for
next season. The sentiment Of the stu
dent and faculty members of the athletic
board who proposed this rule TO the
regents is that Cole should be engaged
to have any rule made that would pre-;
vent his coming back to Nebraska next
fall.
The election Of the 1909 captain has
been set for Tuesday afternoon at 4:30
o'clock. Before the election takes place
the Ms" for this season will have to
be granted. This year more depends
on the granting of the letters than In
any previous season, for the reason that
II one player, whose winning of a nu-
neral Is not now certain, is awarded the
letter the election of next years captain
may be changed. 1t is understood now
that the thirteen men who are certain
to get Ms" have made up their minds as

granted a letter IL is expected he will
Join the ranks Of the six men, making the
vote a tie.
In case of a tie vote the election will
be thrown into the hands of the athletic
board and then may be postponed until
after the Christmas holidays.
