rcsentatives Of the conference colleges
were generally reticent regarding the
probable. action in the case but oppo-
sition to the enlargement OF the or
ganization on the ground that it is I'M

presented as a formidable argument
when the addition of Nebraska and
Michigan were informally discussed at
the meeting at Madison last spring.
Geographically, It was argued. Ne
braska is an athletic rival to Iowa and
Minnesota. but hardly Of Ohio state.
Some followers Of the conference
fortunes predict a division not long
hence on geographical lines. and a. re-
alignment. Of the schools in the central
states.
Coach stichm of Nebraska. who
represented his college, here, will try
in any event to procure athletics dates
with conference teams, and agreed to
entertain the Minnesota track SQUAD
