LINCOLN. Neb.. Feb. u.--(SpscisiD- |
Five stiff games. with the possibility Of
sixth, makes the Cornhuskcr foot hall
schedule for 1911 ono Of the hardest, II no,
the hardest that the Nebraskans have ever
been forced to face.
During the week Manager Earl O. Eager
closed negotiations for a game with Mis-
souri, on October IS thus making the live
big teams which the Cornhuskers are to
meet. Three OF the five will be played on
the home grounds, so that the undergrad
uate, body and the alumni are going to be
treated to a season Of foot ball rot had in
the last few years. Michigan. Of tourse,
overtOps all OF the other games and marks
the close OF the season for both teams
Manager Eager anticipates record break
ing receipts for this date.
Team Must BE strong.
Missouri will play Nebraska for the first
time in several years and on the local
grounds Ames will also ne seea in in
coin. Minnesota at Minneapolis and KAN
sss at Lawrence complete the schedule OF
five
In the shakeup for the remaining games
on the schedule several of the secondary
colleges are making bids. Just now Man
ager Eager is unprepsred 10 state what
other teams will meet the Cornhuskers. IL
| is altogether probable that South Dakota
| will not have a place on the CornhusSer
schedule, since a game with the Coyotes
| means another hard battle The choice
/ for the date lies between the Kansas Ag-
! gies and the Coyotes, but as both would
mean hard fight. Eager is inclined to
give the Aggies the preference. lie looks
upon the Aggies as better drawing card.
Want Good workout.
The failure Of Peru to furnish even a
| workout for the Cornhuskers in the open
ing game during the last two seasons will
probably result in another change. Hast
ings or Kesrney will be substituted. Doane,
Bellevue and Creighton each seek place
on the schedule. but preference goes to
the Tigers.

ley championship team by the athletic
