NO NEBRASKA CAPTAIN
Try.
At a meeting of the athletic board yesterday afternoon a vote for the 1912 football captain was held by the members of the 1911 "N" men present. Only nine football players were at the meeting, not a sufficient number to decide the election, since the team would go through to three for Harmon. A majority of the fifteen eligibles is required by any one candidate for the captaincy.
Team Fails to Elect 1912 Leader Athletic Board Will
It is uncertain just when the football election will be settled, as the matter is now in the hands of the athletic board. This latter body, instead of the football "N" men, will choose the captain. Not enough of the members of the athletic board to constitute a quorum were present before the vote and so no vote was taken. A majority of the eleven members of the athletic board will be sufficient to make a choice—Nebraskan.

MINNESOTA NEEDS PLAYERS
Eligibility Rules Put a Premium on Badgers' Baseball Men
Four more men must be found at the University of Minnesota who can play baseball as the result of the action of the eligibility committee yesterday in which five men of those candidates for the team who appeared before the committee were pronounced eligible to enter conference games. No one from these teams was named. Prof. James Paire, Minnesota's representative in the big eight, ever has played upon the university nine.
Professor Paige declared that the schedule would not be abandoned and that an attempt would be made to find four more men who would be eligible and to forge a team, which is scheduled to be played in about two weeks.
The student vote on withdrawal from the conference has not been completed, but it is said the vote so far has been in favor of withdrawal.
BETAS' GOAT SNATCHED
Phi Delts Tie the Nanny Yesterday With a 13-8 Size Rope
Inter-fraternity rooters were given ample opportunity to do their office, in the third game of the inter-fraternity series, when the Phi Delta met the Beta on McCook and nudged it 13 to 8 victory from them. While it was not a good game from a professional's standpoint, errors were many and team work was poor, nevertheless the bleachers were kept up to the pitch a greater part of the time by the apparent heat of the contest.
The Betas led off by putting a few of Porter's deliveries out in the field and before the three necessary outs had been counted up against them, three of their men had crossed the home plate. Two of them were batting eye open, and dittoed the score off of Householder before taking the field again.
It was in the second inning that the Phi Deltas struck their stride and sent four men around the circuit to the Beta one. With this lead they were able to put the lid on the south Tennessee bunch, with the exception of two runs, until the beginning of the ninth, when the Betas were given a free pass to first and then pooled the pill through the end of the baseline, before the end of the inning had scored two runs. However, the Phi Deltas had managed to pile up six more credits on their side of the sheet before this time and the game was called.
The score;

NEW WORLD'S RECORD IN
ALL-ROUND CHAMPIONSHIP
Princeton Athlete Makes a Score of 7,577 Points Beating Sheridan's Record 192 Points
F. C. Thompson, a member of the second-year class of Princeton Theological Seminary, broke the world's record for the number of points scored in an all-around athletic championship trial held here today. Thompson scored 7,577 points, or 192 points more than Sheridan, the holder of the all-around championship record.
Thompson's record will not stand as official, as it was not made in an official meet. The trial was held under A. A. U. rules, however, and it lacked only official sanction to stand as a record. Thompson has twice won the A. A. U. all-around championship.
Thompson also broke the world's record for the half-mile walk, making the distance in 8:31, but it will not stand as an official record.
FRATERNITY BALL TEAMS
KEEP M'COOK FIELD BUSY
This is the busy week in the interfraternity schedule. The Phi Delts were matched against the Betas yesterday, the Sigma Nu will play the Phi Pis this afternoon and the Sig Alphs will meet the Alpha Tauus tomorrow.
With the exception of the Sigma Nus, Phi Pis and Betas, the fraternity nines are still in the thousand per cent on the road to the championship.
Some of the teams have yet to play their initial game, however, and no doubt the procession will be lengthened before the end of the week.
