LINCOLN, Nov 29.-(special. with
Coach Ewald Stehms Chicago trip to at

enoe In the Windy City has come the
Interesting rumor that Nebraska will re-
eeive an invitation TO Join the charmed
circle Whether Il II true or not, It Is
a fact that Coach stiehm occupies quite
a large slice of attention because OF
his latest foot ball triumph In produc-
ing admittedly one OF the strongest teams
In western college foot ball.
Alumni, who prsfess 10 know declare
talk about Nebraska Joining the big con.

comes back persistently. II win not be

presented. It will be al that time.
Nearly an equal division or sentiment
is shown among the alumni OF the Corn
husker institution over the question OF
Nebraska making application for member
ship 10 the larger organization. Those op-
posed to the change claim the cornhusk-
ers are not ready yet for the faster COM

season just closed, the Cornhuskera
would have been able to make as strong
a showing as any OF the members
Huskers 60 Play BiE schools.
Regardless OF whether the Cornhuskcrs
make an attempt to become a member
OF the big conference II is nearly an
assured fact that Nebraska will have
games with three OF the members next
season. The Minnesota and Iowa games
proved such good money makers that
the arrangements I'm each institution aro
deslrous of arranging meeting next
year. In addition another member OF the
conference has shown its willingness TO
include Nebraska ON its schedule. which
will give the Cornhuskers about all of
the big games they desire. The Ames
Aggies will Undoubtedly be given date
on the Nebraska schedule II the Aggies
desire II and the Kansas Aggies as menl-
bers OF the Missouri Valley conference
will likewise be accorded date during
the early season games.
( While the management has officially
frowned on the report that Kansas was
10 be dropped by the Cornhuskers In the
arrangement Of the schedule. there Is a
suspicion that the Jayhawkers and the
Cornhuskers will not meet next season.
The bitter feeling engendered BY the
Kansas protest on Ross; the attacks on
Coach stiehm and the conduct of the
Jayhawkers following the defeat which
Nebraska administered on the Jayhawk-
ers grounds is stin being manifested at
Nebraska and alumni of the school BY
the score have urged the athletic board

Under the terms of the agreement

Missouri Is another conference mem
