STIEHM OFFERED
JOB In Big NINE
Husker Mentor Receives offer from
Western Conference School at
Increase in Pay.
ASKS RELEASE FROM CONTRACT

LINCOLN, Dec. Especial Tele-
gram. )-Ewald o. Stiehm, director
OF athletes at the University of Me-
braska, announced today that he had
been rendered an offer from Chi
cago conference university to take
charge OF athletics there at salary
increase OF $3.50 a year, or $4,25O.
Stiehm today asked the Nebraska
Athletic board to relieve him from
his agreement for three-year term
at Nebraska at salary OF $4,000 a
year. The agreement has one year
more yet to run.
The athletic board win doubtless inform
etiehm that Il will be unable to meet the
salary bids OF other institutions and gran.
his request TO be freed. Opposition in the
faculty. Stiehm now being rate as
member Of the faculty. would prevent any
increase in salary. Some OF the older
members Of the faculty are drawing but
5000 and $4,000 year. and they resent
90 much money being devoted to athletics.
Il Is not believed. however. that stiehm
will leave Nebraska. Other arrangements
satisfactory to the board will likely be
made.
The news created fufore at the uni
versity and In alumni ci. cles. Stithm's
remarkable work during the last five
years has made him an especially val
liable man. and his loss would be a most
serious blow. stiehm also admitted he
had received nIbbles from the University
Of Wisconsin and the University Of Cali
fornia.

tion, his chances for securing the position
