LINCOLN. April 6-(Speolal.)-Nebraska
and Ames will not play foot ball next fall.
The Nebraska athletic board this after
noon voted to drop the Iowa Aggies from
the Cornhusker schedule for 1909 and to
accept the list OF games arranged by Man
ager Eager. The game with Denver uni
Versity for November IS was approved.
This contest was scheduled by Manager
Eager In place OF the annual Ames game.
The break between Ames and Nebraska
resulted from the failure of the two schools
to agree on a satisfactory date for a foot
ball game next season. The Aggies ac-
cepted and then turned down one date Of
fered them by the Cornhuskers and this
action left only one date on the Nebraska
schedule that would allow a meeting be-
tween the two schools. This day was No
vember %. but since Ames is booked to
meet Drake on November Is and feared to
play the cornhuskers so near the Thanks
giving day game, the Cornhuskers could
not get the Aggiss TO accept that date.
Ames was willing to play Nebraska on
October 30, but that date is only one week
before Kansas Is scheduled to. come. to
Lincoln for q battle and the Cornhusker
management would not consent to run the
risk of losing the J~ayhawker game by hav-
ins a hard struggle the Saturday before
that contest.
The dropping OF Ames from the Corn
husker foot ball schedule next fall does
not mean that the two institutions have
severed athletic relations. They will still
continue to meet in the other branches OF
sport this year, playing base ball this
spring and basket bsll next winter. In
$40 the Nebraska board hopes to be able

Reeret at DecIsIOn.
Here al the local state institution the
news Of the failure OF the two schools to
agree on a date for next fall has been re-
celyed with deep regret, for the Aggies
are looked upon as natural rivals of Ne
braska and are an eleven the local students
like to see in action. Many OF the stu
deFts who saw the game between Nebraska
and Ames at Omaha last fall had hoped TO
have the same exhibition there next fall.
Tne report that the two teams will not
play foot ball with each other at all next
fall has been a disappointment. An ef-
Fort will be made in 1910 to sign up a CON
trset with Ames for an annual game in
omaha for five years.
At the meeting of the Cornhusker attn
leuc board this afternoon H.. o. Perry was
unanimously elected captain Of the basket
hall team for next season. lie has played
IN the Cornhusker five for the last two
seasons at left guard and is one of the best
players that has been at the local institu-
ton for several seasons.
AZ tbs same meeting the board approved
the report OF the committee recommend
int the establishment of a training table
for the track team. The new table will be
staired the last week in April and will be

ence meet on June 5, Ten men will be sent
