LINCOLN, Jan. Especial. )-Nebras-
ka's foot ball schedule for 1915 Is prac-
tically complete. Only the closing game
of the year remains to be arranged for,
and that undoubtedly will be Iowa, al
though negotiations are still incomplete
between the two schools
Notre Dame provides the big drawing
card for the Cornhuskers next season in
a game at Lincoln four weeks after the
opening Of the season Drake for the
opening game and Wesleyan are the
only other new teams which the Corn
huskers will meet during the 1915 sea-
son. Kansas at Lawrence and Ames at
Ames provide the two big games for the
Huskers away from home.
The Arranged Schedule.
Here is the schedule as Stehm has ar
ranged it, given in the order that the
games will be played:
October 2-Drake at Lincoln
October 9-Kansas Aggies at Lincoln.
October l6-Washburn at Lincoln.
October 23--Notre Dame at Lincoln.
October 30-Ames at Ames.
November 6-Wesleyan at Lincoln.
November 13-kansas at Lawrence.
November 20 - Iowa, probably closing
game.
The Nebraska management has found
difficulty in arranging with Iowa for the
annual game with the Hawkeyes because
OF financial. differences in opinion.
Stiehm made a proposition to the Iowa
MANAGEMENT after the game last fall for
a straight guarantee. Iowa to name the
figure. The Nebraska mentor was will
ing that Iowa fix it from $3.50 to $4,000,
but the HawKeyes would not listen to it,
Tried for Another Game.
Stiehm and Manager Reed left no stone
unturned to secure sectional game for
the coming fall in addition to Notre
Dame, but found it nearly impossible to
secure even q favorable consideration.
The Wolverines were willing TO meet
Nebraska in October but stipulated that
the game should be played at Ann Arbor
In addition, Nebraska was offered a
guarantee Of but Sl5OO, barely enough to
pay expenses, when the Cornhuskers must
depend on the big bames of the season to
show any profit. The Michigan manage
ment would not listen to a two-year con-
tract for a return game in Lincoln in
1916 and although Stiehm made an offer
OF 5000 guarantee if the Wolverines
would come to Lincoln. his efforts proved
fruitless.
Drake In Coyotes Place.
Drake takes the place of South Dakota
ON the schedule, Tic trouble over ellg-
Utility rules with the northerners resulted
in Nebraska closing the door to them.
I Nebraska signed a two-year contract
with Drake, a Missouri Valley conference
school, for games to be played in Lin
| coin The Kansas Aggies, another Mis-
souri, Valley school, come second and Nc
braska Offered Washburn, which always
has a strong eleven, the third place on
the schedule,
| Under the old contract Nebraska goes
to Ames next fall and 10 Lawrence for
! the annual contest with the Jayhawkers
The Kansas game at Lawrence will be a
good money maker. Wesleyan, which is
/ the collegiate champion OF Nebraska
! has long been seeking a place on the
Fusker schedule and Stiehm accom-.
modated Coach Cline. II Iowa gets tho
! closing game. the Husker schedule should
/ Re well balanced.
At the meeting Of the athletic board
next week, Coach Stiehm will recommend
the appointment Of Auggie Schmidt as
] freshmen basket ball coach. Schmidt wa
Il member Of the varsity for three years
I The recommendation will undoubtedly
be approved. At the same meeting
| stiehm will present the track and foo
ball schedules TO the athletic board 70
