varsity team and the call for first prac-

The athletic board, further than an
nouncing that Creighton will have a team
this year. has done nothing. awaiting

present in Chicago. Prospective varsity
men, however. have been practicing.
January l has been set as the date when
the squad will assemble for tryouts.

NEBRASKA BOARD
DELAYS MEETING
Committee on Athletics Will Take
Steps to Find Successor to Jumbo
Stiehm on Monday.
SEVERAL MENTIONED FOR JOB

LINCOLN, Dec. 1O-(Special Tele-
sram.)-The Nebraska Athletic board.
facing the biggest problem in its his
tory. did not meet as scheduled today
but decided to hold a conference next
Monday noon to take preliminary steps
in the selection OF a coach to succeed
Jumbo Stiehm.
Stiehm's unexpected jump last night
left the members of the board and the
undergraduate body stunned today and
regret was everywhere expressed that Ne
braska's master coach had decided to dis
continue his relations with the Corn
husker institution
At the same time. Chancellor Avery
story. setting forth the official attempts
to retain Stiehm and giving rise to the
inference that Jumbo had acted hastily
in dealink fifth the Nebraska authorities.
Dr. Avery said he requested Stiehm to
withhold any action for twenty-four
hours until he could find out IL the neces-
sary increase would not be voted by the
Lincoln business men. The chancellor
said he had every assurance that the in
crease would be cheerfully raised by the
Lincoln Monumental club workers and
alumni here. It was this very point
which served to hasten Stiehms deci-
sion. stiehm thought the athletic board
should vote the salary without making 1t
appear a charity proposition for Lincoln
business men. The foot ball Season
netted a clear profit of $4,000 and the
board could easily have stood the addi-
tional salary.
Refuses to Ask More Time.
stiehm refused to ask for an extension
OF time from the Indiana authorities.
At $50 Stiehm telephoned the chan
cellor the decision which he and Mrs.
stiehm reached. DR.. Avery said. and he
again requested the coach to ask for
twenty-four hours additional time. The
request was futile. $500
Caustic criticism of those faculty mem
bers who raised such a violent protest
against paying more money to the foot
ball coach came from Lincoln business
men and alumni and undergraduates
alike today.
Bill Roper. formerly at Missouri and
Princeton, Coach Jess Harper of Notre
Dame, GIL Dobie and Benny owen of
Oklahoma, were those mentioned as
likely successors to Stiehm.
At Indiana Stiehm will receive salary
of 1880 year. with a three-year con-
tract just 81 1000 year more than he re-
ceives at Nebraska.
The Nebraska university athletic board
at meeting held Thursday following
his resignation released Stiehm from his
contract or "gentlemens agreement" for
one more years service here. permitting
him to take up his work at Indiana next
March.
He will succeed c. C. childs. who has
been coach at Indiana for two years.
Considered Five Days.
II became known today that Coach
Stiehm put the proposition Of his resigna-
ton up to the authorities and the athletic
board five days ago, telling them he had
a definite offer and asking what Ne
braska would do to meet It.
The university authorities did not feel
they could meet the demand and released
Stiehm with regret. Some of the older
members OF the faculty are drawing but
5000 or 5000 a year and there was q
