IOWA CITY, Ia, Feb. 2L-(Special)-
Iowa will not play Illinois on Iowa field
November 20. The telephone contract was
called off by mutual consent of Manager
Mark Catltn for Iowa and Undergraduate
Manager A. r. Ingold of Illinois. IngOld
came TO Iowa City yesterday with instruc-
tons from the Illinois board TO stick TO
the tentative agreement rather than break
with the Hawkeyes. However, as Iowa has
a halfway sort Of agreement to play Kan
sas at Lawrence the last game OF the sea-
son. the release Of the Iowans was not
hard to secure.
Illinois will probably play Syracuse, at
Syracuse, on November 20, and Iowa will
fulfil the terms Of the two years contract
on the same date at LAWRENCE, Kan.

SEVENTY IN TRAINING CAGE
Largest Buneh of Candidates An His
tory of University Report

Tory of University Report.
LINCOLN, Feb. 24.-(Special)-Ne-
braska's base ball training season was
started yesterday afternoon with a squad
Of seventy candidates working out In the
cage" OF the university aFmory. Captain
Better and Manager Eager have charge
Of the work and VIII keep the men timber
ing up until Coach Fox arrives on March
l. The number Of men who reported for
practice yesterday was the largest that
has ever come out for early training at the
state school Last season fifty aspirants
reported for work the first week, but the
seventy who are training this winter make
a record-breaking bunch and fill Captain
Better with many hopes of a strong nine.
Manager Earl Eager left this afternoon
for Kansas City to confer with Manager
Lansdon of the Kansas basket ball team on
dates for the championship games. Before
the Nebraska manager started on the trip
to the kaw city he had decided 70 play the
series Of contests will the jsyhawkers In
Kansas City. An effort will be made to
have all three of the games pulled off there
next week. The original plan was to have
one contest held I'm Lincoln and one In
Lawrence. and to play the third game In
Kansas City, II more than two contests
should be necessary to settle the Missouri
valley championship. This plan would have
made the expenses of the games very heavy
and IL was deemed advisable to place the
series In one city. by which means the
railroad fare could be reduced.
In his report to the Athletic board last
evening, Manager Eager showed that the
present basket ball season. which closed at
home for the Cornhuskers Saturday night,
has a credit balance of S72. This is the
largest sum basket ball has ever Melted the
Nebraska Athletic board. With the eXcep-
ton of last season the sport has always
lost money. The attractive home schedule
this winter caused the sport to pay out.

Norris O'Neil, the Western league presi-
dent, has recalled his acquiesence to the
schedule adopted at the recent meeting in
Lincoln and has notified Guy Green, presi-
dent OF the local club, that the program
must be revised so as to provide for an
equal number OF games between all eight

Cooley and Holland for their approval.
The only material change, aside from the
equalizing process, would be to schedule
the Lincoln and Topeka clubs to open the
session in Topeka on April % instead OF
