OUR FOOTBALL CAPTAIN.
HENRY M. SENTER ELECTED TO
THAT POSITION.
The Meeting Last Night-Speeches
by the New and Old Captains-A
California Trip-Senter's Record.
The members of the 'Varsity football
team met in Room 9, University Hall.
last evening at 7 p. in. for the purpose
of electing a captain.
The meeting was called to order by
Manager Baird, aind Henry M. Senter,
commonly known as "Mort," was
unanimously elected captain. In a
short speech lie told the team how he
started out to play football without
any idea of even making the team,
much less being elected captain.
Ex-Captain Henninger was then
called upon for a speech, in which he
thanked the members of the team for
their hearty support during the past
season. He was followed by Manager
Baird, who said thalt lie had a surprise
of being by far the best end the West
had yet produced, and his record this
year is too fresh in the memories of us
all to need repetition.
BASEBALL AT CHICAGO:
They Mean Business-The. Plans
for Practice.
The University of Chicago is already
booming baseball, practice in the win-
ier quarters will begin inl a short. tinie.
Bulletins calling out all candidntes for
the teams have already been losted.
An innovation in selecting players is
to be introduced by the managenent
this year. Practice will be conducted
in two sections. All those who apply
for admission to these sections will be
given a test. Those who show a
knowledge of the game or good possi-
bilities will be allowed to enter for
practice and all others will be drop-
ped. It is hoped by this plan to ob-
viate work with a lot of useless mater-
ial. Practice will be given as usual
in store for the nien, that today he had in picking ip grounders, running and
received a telegram from Leland Stan- sliding bases, etc. In addition to this,
ford University asking if Michigan considerable attention will be devoted
could make a western trip during the
Chrlistmas vacatioi and play three
ganmes on the Pacific coast. The mat-
ter will be laid before the Board of
Control and if the necessary airange-
ments cain be made the trip will un-
doubtedly be taken, as all the team ex-
pressed themselves as willing to go.
On motion of Mr. Shields a
vote ofl
coifidence and thanks was extended
to both Capt. Henninger and Manager
Bairl for their services during the
past season.
Cabs, 'Varsity jerseys and the Re-
serves' sweaters will be here in a few
days, and the 'Varsity picture will be
taken today at 1 p. n.
Those present last night were
Messrs. Carr, Hall, Henninger, Villa,
Seater, Farnum, Greenleaf, Richards,
:Morley, Shields, Hollister, Ferbert,
Johnson, Dicken, Wombacher, Gates
and Baird.
Henry M. Senter comes to the Uni-
versity froniHoughiton, ach., and
was formerly in the literary depart-
ment, but is now a sophomore medical
student. He used to play on his class
eleven, but never tried for the 'Var-
sity until, 1893, when lie became a
candidate for tackle. He- did excel-
leit work, but was much lighter than
the other men trying for the place.

INTER-SOCIETY DEBATE.
ALL IS READY FOR IT-THE LAST
PRELIMINARY.
At the Webster Society Last Night
- The Successful Contestants -
Who Will Battle for Farther
Honors-Final Debate.
The last of the preliminaries for the
Chicago debate 'sas held last night by
the Jeffersonian Society, and resited
in the choosing of Air. Ewing and Mr.
Block as that society's representatives
in the inter- society debate. The do.
bate was equal to the other society
contests and the two men chosen are
strong and experienced debaters, Mr.
Block having been on the inter-society
debate last year. The judges were
Professors Mechem, Bogle and IAughes
ata in this as in other contests in
which these professors of the law fac-
ulty have acted as judges their rank-
ings have agreed with each other al-
most to the last man.
Now that all the preliminaries are
over it is of interest to note who will
participate in the inter-society debate.
As all the societies have debated the
same question, the graduated property
tax, the side that the winners had
inay also be noted. The first contest,
held by the Alpha Nn Society, resulted
in the choosing of Mr. H1. Geismier and
air. Carmody, one on eai side of the
question; then the Adephi next in or-
der seleoted Mr. Lathers of the afirm-
ative side and Mr. tlirrison of the
negative. The successful men in the
Webster preliminary were Air. Vert
and Air. Allbright, both of the nega-
tive side. In the contest last iight the
winnters were on opposite sides of the
question.
The inter-society debate will be the
next step in our preparaition for the
contest with Chicago. The date of
this has not been deinitely fixed, but
it will undoubtedly be held before the
Christmas holidays. By holding it
thus early, the Lsuccessful debaters
will le given more time to prepare for
the final debate.
.'he prospects for a close stiruggle
among the societies at the inter-society
contest have never been better. Under
the plan by which representatives are
chosen at present, each society selects
its best men and those chosen go in
with a determination to win. A glance
at the list of successful contestants
above will bear out this stiatement.
The Oratorical Society has offered to
give $50 for prizes to those who are
successful in the inter-society contest
if the societies will relinquishi control
of the debate and the societies now
have the matter under consideration.
