the games nest ecek. Dr Clapp though.
10 not making any predictions about the
Gopher battles and Il lie believed he rather
expects the Cornhuskers to get the short
end OF the scores in the two games. lie
says the absence OF Captain walsh. who il
ineligible to play against the "Big Eight

The rooters at the state school are look

me- men have a fast team and will be
able to play a strong same. They, how
.exsT, will be Handicapped by playing on q
V.feign floor and this may result in their
downfall Missouri played two games In
the southern division OF the Missouri Valley
league with Washington university two
weeks ago and lost both OF them. The
fact that Washington has a very fast five
and that 1t barely defeated the "show-me''
men only goes to dope the latter aggre-
cation as a team much to be feared by
Or. Clapp's Cornhuskers.
Eager Busy on Schedules.

ing schedules for the spring sports and for
foot ball next fall. 30 far he has COM

the matter under consideration for three or
four weeks and are expected to make a
