Big Eight conference members.
Letters received by Reed indicate that
| Iowa is going 20 make one big attempt
to wipe out the defeat OF Il to 0 adj
ministered the crack Iowa team by the
ICornhusker eleven last season. The Iowa
manager has written Reed that he Is
unwilling 20 make an prediction as TO
the outcome OF the game, but Iowa Is
stronger than last season, when the
Hawkeyes had one Of the most formid-
able machines seen on a western gridiron
The Iowa management has sent Reed
800 reserved seats for the Nebraska dele
CATION which will attend the game. The
chances are that this reservation viii not
be sufficient to accommodate all OF the
Cornhuskers who desire to see the game.
The Iowans, however, have asked Reed
to find out the number OF rooters wne
are going to accompany the team TO
Iowa and to return all OF the spare
tickets. Tho management predicts that
all Iowa attendance records Will be
broken by tho crowd. 1t has been made
homecoming for the Iowa grads ana
there is a big bunch of them coming to
see the game.
Two Cars from Omaha.
The Nebraska management has secured
a special train which will leave Lincoln
Friday night at $3.50 IN the Rock Island

urday morning shortly after I o'clock
The business men of Lincoln have re
ouested four cars for their delegation ana

the Commercial club. The business mems

II PROMISES some lively roofing. In addi-
ton, the students nave engaged four

word from Omaha that two cars will be
added there and between $50 and 200
Cornhusker alumni in Omaha will go to
Iowa City.

from the crowds as long as possible The
Coe college management has invited the
Iuskers to use the Coe grldiron for prac-
tice on Thursday afternoon and Friday
afternoon and stiehm was glad TO accept

Hard Week of Practice.
Nebraska's hardest week of practice
promises to be the hardest of the season
In preparation for the Hawkeyes
Cross country running has flunked
sadly at Nebraska this fall. The team
and the captain have complained that no
support is being given this branch or
sport and were finally driven to appeal
ing TO the student body in the Daily Ne
braskan. the student paper. The show
ing of the squad in The Missouri Valley
cross country run at Ames was not en-
couraging and 1t is doubtful II the team
will be entered in any more athletic
events.
A portion Of the squad may be sent to
the indoor meet of tho Kansas City
Athletic club at Kansas City. while the
rest may 60 to Omaha on THANKSGIVING
day for the meet of the Omaha Young
Mems Christian association.
Basket ball is next on the string after
foot ball AID Coach Stiehm will shortly
issue his first call to the Huslker basket
ball squad.
