STIEHM IGNORES WOLVERINES
0vertures Not Made to Either Mich
igan or Minnesota Teams.
CONFLICT B0THEaS MANAGERS
Both Ames and Missouri Clamoring
for Game on Same Date.
TENTATIVE SCHEDULE PLANNED
Nebraska II Again Forced to Go
North to Met Gophers, but They
Are Always Drawing Cards
Against That Team.


LINCOLN. Neb. Jan. 27.-(Special. J.
Nebraskas's tentative foot ball schedule.
as announced by All Year Coach Jumbo
stiehm. provides for practically as stiff
a season as in l9l1. when the Cornhus-
kers were forced to face the hardest
series of games In their history. Under
the proposed arrangement Nebraska will
have four big games coming on consecu-
tive Saturday.
The announcement OF the Michigan
schedule Thursday night does not settle
the doubt concerning game with the
Wolverines next season. While many OF
the alumni were pulling for another game
with the Wolverines, Coach Stiehm would
not yield a point In his negotiations with
either Michigan or Minnesota. While the
press dispatches state that Nebraska was
left off the Michigan schedule. as a mat
ter OF fact, the cornhuskers were never
applicants for place on the list Formal
negotiations were never entered into
and the cry which went up from Michigan
men Immediately following the game with
the Cornhuskers greatly disgusted a
large number OF the followers Of the
scarlet and the cream.
Another conflict which Is causing con-
siderable trouble to the Cornhusker
management In arranging the schedule Is
the application of both Missouri and
Ames for the same date or for game on
November q The management Is equally
DESTROYS Of scheduling a game with
each school and II is feared that the one
furned down for this particular date can
not be secured later In the season.
The Tentative Schedule.
Following Is the tentative foot ball
schedule as arranged by Coach stiehm:
October 5-Practice game probably with
Peru or Hastings.
October 12-Kansas Aggies at Lincoln.
October ls-Minnesota at Minneapolis.
October 3-Missouri at Columbia.
November 2-Ames at Lincoln.
November s-Kansas at Lincoln or prac-
tice game.
November le-Practice game or Kansas
at Lincoln.
November 2s-wisconsin at Lincoln or
Texas at Austin.
Under the tentative schedule only two
Of the eight games may be played away
from the home grounds. with possibility
of the third also on foreign grounds Ne
braska Is again forced to go north to
meet the Gophers. but as the Cornhuskers
are always q good drawing card and the
trip Is financially a strong attraction 20
the management II receives the heartiest
approval.
Manager Earl o. Eager left Tuesday for
Chicago to attend to closing up the de-
tails of the Minnesota Nebraska game
and also to confer with the Wisconsin
authorities. The Cornhuskers are exceed
ingly anxious to bring the Badgers to
Lincoln. There is but one game for the
closing OF the season which would attract
an exceptionally large crowd to Lincoln
and that is either with the Badgers or
Wolverines.
Stiehm was optimistic over the ar
rangements with the Wisconsin author
tiles and thought that the game with his
alma mater was assured.
On the other hand, Nebraskans refuse
10 accept the report emanating from Ann
Arbor that Michigan wants none of the
Cornhuskers' money next season. On the
other hand. it is positively stated on ex-
cellent authority that the Nebraska man.
agement can have the choice OF two dates
"a game on November or the closing
game VI the year. IL the November
date was accepted the game would be
played in Lincoln. but IL the Cornhuskers
closed the season with the Wolverines the
game must be played in Ann Arbor.
Either place 1t would prove a tremendous

Huskers May Go south.
Even should the negotiations with
Michigan and Wisconsin arrangements
fall through the Huskers Will not be with

will be played In Lincoln. while Missouri
is TO be met In Columbia The Aggies and
Jayhaxkers are both excellent attractions
for Lincoln and the management should
reap rich returns from both games. The
game at Columbia is according to the
agreement entered into last season when
the Hnskers resumed foot ball relations
with the Tigers. Columbia is noted for
a foot ball town and 5tiehm has bis
