WEST west VIRGINIA
LEARNS ABOUT
1918 SCHEDULE
Most Successful Team il
History Forced to Bow
to Wesleyans.

The athletic board and coaches at
West Virginia university learned a
football lesson this fall Which they
are not likely to forget, and when
the time comes Tor making up the
1918 football schedule they will recall
the season OF 1917 without a great
deal of Joy and will get accordingly.
After the greatest team West Vir-
ginia ver developed went through
the most successful season a noun
taineer team had eve: enjoyed. 1t was
forced to bow to its home state ri
vale. West Virginia Wesleyan, poten-
tally q weaker team, lin a defeat
which was a hard pill to swallow.
The reason was that West Virginia
had gone through too. strenuous a
season. The mountain boys opened
with the navy and administered the
only defeat suffered by Coach Dobie's
crew this year and the only defeat for
Dobie in 10 years. Then Pittsburgh,
Dartmouth, Rutgers and Washington
and Jefferson were taken IN. ~
The schedule was undoubtedly the
most strenuous attempted by any
team during the year. E
The result was that when West
Virginia faced Wesleyan the team
was burned QUIT could not play
it, best football and defeat natural-
w followed. F .

NO POST SEASON
GAMES FOR NEBRASKA

Lincoln. Neb., Dec. 6.-Reports that
the University of Nebraska football
team will play p~ostseason games. are
officially denied. Coach r. S. Stew
art regrets that the Missouri Valley
champions would not be able to play
army teams. The coach said, how
ever. that he would not ask the mem
bers Of the team to engage in any
more games, as they are not in physi-
cal condition to continue the sport.
The Cornhuskers have gone
through the hardest schedule ever
arranged for a Nebraska team and
one of the stiffest played by any
team in the country this season.
With a maximum squad of about 90
men this yea and with an unequaled
hospital list. the Cornhuskers have
had to play their first line men in ev-
cry hard contest of the season. with
the result that the men have had
the hardest kind of a drill. The
squad was the smallest in history at
the university, due to the war call.

FRESHMEN WIND UP
CLASS GAME PRACTICE

The Freshmen team of the univer-
sity wound up it's practice for the
coming class games last evening.
There was the usual large squad out
and the men went through a very
satisfactory practice. The Freshmen
have improved greatly since their first
polished aggregation. The difficulty
they had with the strange floor and
the change in bounding boards has
been practically done away with in
the past two weeks. The Freshmen
have an abundance of experienced
and speedy NE and will present q
very fast lineup on Saturday night.
This class has the largest number of
candidates to pick from and have at
least eight men who will be able to
put up some very stiff opposition to
the championship aspirations of the
other classes.

TREATY WILL NOT
BE CONSTRUED AS
GERMANY ASKED
Formal Notification Given
That Action Taken by
Ambassador Gerard at
Berlin Will Be Upheld.

Washington, March 24.-This gov
ernment has formally notified Germany
through the Swiss minister that it will
not reconstrue the Prussian treaty of
1893 as was asked by Germany
The treaty stands as before Germany
wanted broader immunities for Ger
mans and German ships in this coun-
try. The state departments action up
held the refusal of Ambassador Gerard.
who refused to reaffirm it previous to
his departure from Berlin.
Germany wanted specifically stipu-
lated that under the treaty all Ger
man ships interned in American ports
and harbors be accorded safe conduct
to a home port or to the most access
sible neutral port in the event of war
between the two nations.
PROVISIONS OF TREATY.
AS it stands, the treaty provides. that
the citizens of each country will not
be interfered with; that except in OBJ
viously exceptional cases, money de-
posted in American banks by German
citizens shall not be seized (and vice
versa) and that nine months shall be
given citizens of each country in set
Ting up business affairs before re-
turning to their native country.
Even as 1t stands. Germany plainly
has the advantage since there are many
thousands of times more German citi-
zens in the United States than there
are American citizens in Germany.
