INDIANA AND PURDDE ELECT THEIR CAPTAINS
CLEVENGER AND OSBORNE TO LEAD FOOTBALL TEAM.
ATHLETIC STIR AT INDIANA
Students and Alumni Incensed at Athletic Board’s Action In Granting Twenty I’s to Football Team.
[Rpeclal to Tbs Indlanapolla Nawa.J BLOOMINGTON, Ind., December-8.— Zora Clevenger, of Muncle, was elected captain of Uio Indiana football team for next year. Clevenger has just finished his third year on the Indiana team, having made left half-back in hie freshman year. Clevenger will also be captain of the '08 baseball team. He played a brilliant game this year on the 'varsity and was easily considered the best ground-gainer and surest tackle on the team. All authorities placed him on the all-Indiana team. Clevenger's election will meet with the hearty approval of the students, as he Is one of the most popular men In the university. Twenty I'a Granted. The board of control of athletics at Indiana University granted twenty "I's” to the football men. This wholesale granting of 'T's'' Is causing much discussion. Last spring no ’T’s' were granted to the baseball team because It was contended that the men on the team were not members of a representative Indiana team. However, the record this fall In football has been the worst record ever credited to an Indiana team end yet more "I’s" were granted than ever before. Many students are Incensed at the action taken by the board and freely censure the members who voted for the motion. They say that It Is not Just to the alumni players nor to the regular members on ths team to have the value of the "I" so cheapened that substitutes can obtain It. No action by the board of control has ever created such a stir In Bloomlngto^, and It Is feared that It will have a depressing effect In Indiana athletic*, which at present are at a slump.

Britt Would Not Fight Gana If I Knew He Would Win. Jimmy Britt, the California scrapper, who appears to be the coming lightweight star, has already raised a bar against colored opponents. Jo# Gaps, the Baltimore colored lad. now holds the lightweight championship. In answer to a question as to whether he would take on Gans, Britt replied: “That I will never do. When I started out I decided to draw the color line, and I will continue to draw. I don't care If I knew I could lick Gans In thirty seconds, I would not get In the ring with him. Whfen there are no more white opponents for me I am through with the ring. I am no stronger in my opposition to fighting negroes than are my parents." Britt Is anxious for a match with Young Corbett, though he can not make the weight at which Corbett has heretofore! 1 fought. He will make any reasonable concession to get a match with Corbett—at 130 pounds and to weigh In at 3 p. m. UNIQUE ATHLETIC CONTEST

CORBETT SUES A NEWSPAPER >°ok over
Pugilist Resents Article In New Publication at Wheeling. WHEELING, December 8.—An evening oaoer which made Its first appearance Wednesday night, has been sued for $26,000 by James J. Corbett. The prizefighter’s pompadour bristled fiercer than In any of his hottest ring engagements when he read In the paper that he had tried to smoke In the presence of women on a Baltimore & Ohio train Wednesday, and was promptly squelched by the conductor, while the women passengers clapped their hands In glee. Corbett denied the article flatly. "They wanted a sensation for their first issue, and picked on me as an easy mark," said he. He thinks his reputation as a gentleman was hurt.

Tommy Ryan, champion middleweight. Is recuperating at West Baden. His trouble is Indigestion. George Hanley, a Detroit bowler, made twelve clean strikes in a game last night, and reached the top score of 300. Wisconsin has abandoned Its Western trip, by reason of the refusal of the University of California team to give the Badgers a game. A1 Orth denies that he has signed to play with New York next season. He says he has a two-years’ contract with Washington, and will live up to It.

And some of those that stay at Georgetown are said to be professionals. John R. De Witt, Princeton's mighty football guard, will captain next year's team. De Witt's great kicking gave Princeton a victory over Cornell this year and h»r only score against Yale. He is given a place on all the All-American teams that have yet been made out.

Ryan, who will conduct a winter racing season at the Newport track, made deposits of 156,000 at the First National Bank of Newport, yesterday, to Insure their carrying out of the project.

WILL INTERROGATE DURBIN.
Complaint Because Representative Cravens Hat Been Honored. When Governor Durbin returns homo from his Texas hunt, several politicians may ask him some questions about his appointment of Joseph M. Cravens as a Democratic member of the committee that Is Visiting the State Institutions. The appointment of Mr. Cravens came as a surprise to the Republicans, and wae not pleasing to a good many Democrata, who said they would like to have a Democrat from ony of the large Democratic counties. Governor Durbin Is said to have held that a Democrat who could carry the Republican county of Jefferson must be all right. Some of the leaders are not taking kindly to the Governor's reasons. They say that Cravens and his friends are charged with spending nearly 318.000 In the Fourth district last election, helping to defeat not only Marcus Sulzcr, but Judge Bear, on# of the county commissioners. Mr. Cravens Is a prospective candidate for Congress from the Fourth district, and the friends of former Senator Shea. Judge New, Lincoln Dixon and other prospective candidates for Congress, as well az the followers of Congressman Griffith, are not pleased with the prominence the Governor Is giving Mr. Cravens.
The nearer the time approaches for the convening of the Legislature, the more evident becomes the fact that there will be a chasm between the members of that body and Governor Durbin, observe!* say. Hia alleged Interference with Senator Klttlnger's ambition to become caucus chairman has aroused the Senator’s friends. The fact that Governor Durbin Is giving Henry' W. Marshall, of Tippecanoe county, his strong support for Speaker of the House, has aroused antagonism to Mr. Marshall, that was not expected. It Is understood that Joseph B. Keallng and others of the "big bosses" In Indiana Republican politics, though they have not declared against Marshall, or for any other man Speaker, are looking with some distrust on Marshall's candidacy, partly because the Goverpor la for him and partly for other reasons. "I have nothing against ^Ir. Marshall.” said one of the Republican leaders, "and I suppose that he would be ail right as a Speaker, but he Is trailing around after Durbin, and that is not pleasing to a good portion of the party. If Marshall is Speaker, Durbin will control him, in my opinion, and before he can have my support he must make some promises. Wo all know Durbin pretty well, and know that he never does anything without some personal object in view, and we want to know his object in having Mr. Marshall Speaker."
He will Soon Vlalt Hlu Home In HUnoii—May Not Stop Hero. W. B. Wilson, secretary of tho Unltod Mine Workers, talked with John MitchsU over the long-dlstancs telephono last night. Mr. Mitchell Is still uncertain w hen he will get to Indlanapolla He will leave Scranton on Saturday, Dew her 14. and will go to hla home In Spring Valley. IlL He will arrive there, on Sunday morning, and will spend the day with hla family. He will not be able to stop off in Indianapolis on hla way to Spring Valley, but there Is a chance that he can arrange hla affairs so that he can stop In the city on hla way back to the anthracite fields on Monday or Tuesday. Ha has not been home for several months, and can not make that trip secondary to a reception trip to Indianapolis. If It Is not possible for him to stop off on his return to Pennsylvania. It may be January before he will reach Indianapolis. Secretary Wilson says that Mr. Mitchell can draft hla annual message while In Pennsylvania, and he may be forced to do that. The message must be prepared In time for the mine workers' national convention, which convenes In Indlanapolla, January 19.
A great success. You will like it if you try it.
