Nebraska will not compete in football
during the season of 1919, as had been
planned by Jumbo" Stiehm and DR.
E. ]. Stewart, athletic directors ot
the two institutions, says a dispatch
from Lincoln. Stiehm and Stewart
were in conference a week ago in Chi
cago during the big Ten" meeting
and a tentative arrangement was
framed providing for clash between
the Hoosiers and Cornhuskers at Lin
coin. Doctor Stewart returned from
the Missouri Valley Conference meet
ing in Kansas City and announced
that Nebraska would play Missouri
University at Columbia November s.
He stated further that Nebraska
would resume football relations with
Iowa State College of Ames, a con-
ference member, which would pre-
clude an Indiana-Nebraska game as
planned. Faculty objections to the
Indiana game are believed to be re-
sponsible for the failure of the Stiehm-
Stewart negotiations. Notre Dame
University, however, is on the Ne
braska schedule, the South Bend
school being date for October IS in
Lincoln.
The football date ready for definite
announcement by Doctor Stewart are:
October IL, Iowa University at Iowa
City; October is, Notre Dame at Lin
coin; November s, Missouri at Colum-
bia; November Is, Kansas at Lincoln;
Thanksgiving Day, Syracuse Univer-
sity at Lincoln Games with Mime
sofa at Minneapolis, Oklahoma at
Lincoln or Oklahoma City and Iowa
Aggies at Lincoln or Ames are in
process of negotiation.
The Nebraska director also arranged
for sixteen conference basket ball
dates during the meeting at Kansas
City, as follows: January %, Drake
at Des Moines; January % and "a,
Ames at Ames; January %, Drake at
Des Moines; January 81 and Feb
ruary l, Drake at Lincoln; February
Z and s; Washington University at
Lincoln; February IA and Is, Missouri
at Lincoln; March and 6, Kansas at
Lawrence; March and s, Kansas Ag
gies at Manhattan; March IA and Is,

the Naval Air Station, Miami, Floid

according to a letter to Coach H. F.
Schultz. He says:
