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. to body-building. This is one of Stagg 'sideas. Of the old men, Clarke, Nichols, Brown, Abells, Adkinson, Winston and Pike are back. There is con-iderable new material. Among the new men are Jackson, from the U. sf P., and Kennedy, from Lake Forest. Chicago is anxious to go East next sprin and if arrangements can be itaile Yale and Harvard will be pilayed. THE BIBLE INSTITUTE. First Session at McMillan Hal Tonight. The Bible Institute of the University Young tMen's Cliristian Association be- gins this evening at 8 o'clock at ale- ahillan Hall. Prof. White, who con- ducts it, is connected with the moody Bible Institute, of Chicago, and this fall has had charge of the Bible work at several of the state conventions, and has also hadl charge of several col- legiate Bible Institutes. These Bible address's are for both men and wvomen. At Harris Hall. The ladies of St. Andrew's church will hold a festival of holidays at Har- rit Hall, beginning Friday, Dec. 6, and continuing Saturday, Monday, anid 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.
