ALLERDICE ELECTED TO
LEAD MICHIGAN ELEVEN

Ann Arbor, Mich, Dec. Tn one of
the most closely contested elections
that has ever attended the choosing of
a Michigan football captain Dave Aller-
dice of indianapolis was yesterday
chosen to lead the varsity football
eleven next year. He won out over
Quarterback Wasmund only after ahrd
fight. AIlerdice has played half back
on Michigan's eleven two years, this
year being the defensive star of the
team together with Captain Schulz,
while his wonderful punting and goal
kicking scored most of the Wolverines
points. In the Pennsylvania game his
collar bone was broken in the first ten
minutes of play, but he stuck through
the entire game, and it was this ex-
hibition of nerve that won him leader
ship of the team The student body
was about evenly divided between the
two candidates, but Allerdice's selection
is sure to be popular. Jack Loell, for
mer versity baseball and football star,
returned to college today and will be
eligible to play two more years. In
order to get his work into shape he will
not play baseball next spring, but will
be out for the eleven in 1909.

NELSON'S TERMS FOR
FIGHT TURNED DOWN
Suggests Elimination Con-
tests Among Challengers
For His Title.
PACkEY UPSETS THE PLAN
Declare He Will Retire Rather
Than Let the Dane Dictate
Conditions to Him.

Battling Nelson yesterday outlined
the conditions under which he would
consent to fight again for the light
weight championship of the world, but
the terms named by the Dane did not
meet with the approval of Packey Nc
Farland, who declared that he would
prefer to retire from the boxing game
to being dictated to by the Champion
Larney Lichtenstein, manager of Cy-
clone Johnny Thompson, started the
little ENHANCEMENT by Offering to match
his man against Nelson and allow the
champion to have the entire purse. The
Dane replied that he would not box any
man under such conditions, but that he
would consent to meet the winner of a
series of elimination bouts to be ar
ranged among Mcfarland, Welsh, Cans
and Thompson.
Let Mcfarland fight Thompson. and
Welsh take on Cans and the two win
ners box for the right to meet me for
the championship. I'll be glad to take
on the winer of such a series of fights.
| should almost consent to give up my
autobiography to start work for the
battle.
Packey Hints at Retirement.
H thompson, through MS manager read
lily agreed to the scheme, but neither
Mcfarland nor his business agent
Harry Gilmore, jr., would consider the
arrangement for minute.
Nelson cannot dictate to me" said
Mcfarland. Il am in the fighting game
for the money there is in 1t and 1 am
making plenty of the long green just
at present fighting easy men. I'll GO
on lighting lemons for a year and il
Nelson does not care to fight me in
that time I'll quit boxing altogether"
Packey was approached on a match
with Thompson at San Francisco and
declared that he might consider a S.
600 pure for go with Cyclone John
n.y. He did not appear very enthusiasts
tic about the matter, however, his man
ager declaring that he preferred a re-
turn match with Welsh or a chance a,
Nelson. but that he would consider tht
$4,000 offer to box twenty-five rounds
with Thompson, provided he did mo-
get one of the other two matches.
