Why Not with Illinois?

To the Editor Of the University Missourian:
Why not more games with Illinois :?
Why is it that the University of Mis-
souri, and the University of Illinois have
so few athletic contests? Why has the
University of Missouri so few rela-
tions with the University of Illinois :?
The University of Missouri has be
come one of the leading state univer-
sites of the country. so why not have
more relations with the university of
a state that has recognized leading
state university:
Outside of Kansas. Missouri has more
in common with Illinois than any
other state. so why not have more mu-
tual relations? Is the Mississippi river
an insurmountable barrier? There are
more students from Illinois attending
the University of Missouri than from
any other outside state. and they
would like to see Illinois receive more
attention. especially in the matter of
inter collegiate contests. such as base
ball. track. tennis. and debating
During the past four years, the Uni
versity of Missouri has met only one
team from the University of Illinois,
That was in tennis last year. and the
Missouri team was successful. 1t might
also be said here that the tennis team
that was defeated here at Missouri af-
forwards won the championship of H.
linois. Students from Illinois, profes-

to see Missouri meet Illinois i'm at least
