Missouri ~ After Game.
Missouri. the team that won the Mis-
souri, Valley championship lasJ fan, wants
game with Nebraska next season and Is
willing to come to Lincoln to play 1t. There
s no room on the Cornhusker schedule.
though, for the Tigers unless Iowa and
Nebraska should fail to agree on the place
for their game. In that event Missouri
would be taken on to fin the place OF the
Hawkeyes.
The Commercial club Of st. Joseph has
made Missouri and Nebraska an attractive
offer for a game between their foot ball
%elevens, TO be played In that city, and Is
trying to induce the Cornhusker manage
ment to schedule a game with the "show
Me" aggregation. The ST. Joseph people
have offered to furnish the field and ad-
vertise the game at their own expense II
the two teams will book a game for the
Missouri City. The St Joseph merchants
would like to make the Observation-Disclosures
game an annual event for their city TO
rival the Kansas-Missouri game which is
now played In Kansas City every Thanks
giving day. This cannot be arranged, how
ever, for the Cornhuskers will not consent
to play Missouri away from lincoln every
year.
DIT. CIapp started for New York City to-
day to be present at the annual meeting
OF the National intercollegiate conference,
where he win represent the University Of
Nebraska. The conference session opens
December q. DR.. Clapp is under instruc-
lions from the Cornhusker athletic board
to cooperate with other representatives to
/ Traf nam rttlao for foot hall tbof -L.gI -
calculated to lessen the dangers Of the
game.
Favor Conservative Revision.
The instructions Of the Nebraska board
specified that the Cornhusker representa-
tive was not to work with the radical wing
Of the revisionists, who wish to have the
American game s%upplanted by the Rugby
type. but that he should support such men
as Walter Camp Of Yale and Coach Alonzo
Stage OF Chicago in their endeavor to
change the rules. so that the dangers will
be removed. but at the same time keeping
the YANKEES game intact.
In the announcement sent to the Ne
braska board of the New York meeting IT
was stated that foot ball revision would be
the all-important business that Would come
before the conference and that there would
be a big fight made against foot ball by the
men who wish to see the game erased from
the list Of American sports. DR.. Clapp
went, consequently. prepared to place Ne
braska in line with those universities and
colleges that will demand that foot ball
be preserved in its present form with some
notifications in the rules by which 1t is
played.
C~ornhusker foot ball rooters received
some glad tidings today in a letter from
Harry Minor to one OF his college chums
saying that he would come back to school
at the beginning Of the next semester and
become eligible for foot ball next fall.
Minor played halfback and end on the
~Corphusker eleven a year ago, and was
one OF the star men of the team. His
return to the university will increase the
large quantity of good foot ball material
for next season. He can be used at either
halfback or end, the positions at which
the Cornhuskers will need plenty OF men
in order 10 develop a set of regulars and
substitutes that can support a strong line,
such as Nebraska had last fall.
