Athletic Director A. A. Scha-
binger Has Made an Impos.
ing Schedule for 1928 Blue
Jay Grid Outfit, Including
Several Conference Teams

member IN good grace OF the North
Central intercollegiate athletic con-
ference, is apparently making = great
effort to break into the Missouri VAL
ley conference.
This in indicated by the 1928 foot
ball schedule arranged by Athletic
Director A. A. Schabinger for c. A.
"Chet" Wynne's Bulejay gridders.
Creighton this year has the finest
yet hardest schedule it has ever
played. The Bluejays replace the
University Of North Dakota outfit
for the opening game against the
University Of Minnesota 1t Mime
apolis October s. Besides the Uni
versity of Minnesota machine, the
Omaha outfit meets Oklahoma A and
NJ, University Of Oklahoma, st.
Louis University, South Dakota,
State, University Of Utah, Marquette
University, Grinnell College, and
Drake University.
Creighton's movement in IN effort
to break into the Missouri Valley
loop is looked upon with some dis
gust by other members Of the North
Central conference.
Many believe that Creighton is not
too strong for the smaller confer
ence. In football titles in the last
decade, Creighton is behind South
Dakota State in point Of good record.
Creighton, on the other hand, has
won more than its share of basket
ball gonfalons, but pressure was be-
coming greater 1t the time they
dropped from the loop. In Creigh-
tons last year Of loop competition,
two years ago, the University Of
North Dakota basketball machine,
then green team, split two games
with the Bluejays in the two hardest
games Creighton had all year. Each
team won game in the doublehead-
er by . one-point margin. At that
time, Schabinger announced that
North Dakota would be the strongest
team in the conference the follow
ing year under the masterful coach
ing Of Glenn Letich. And Creighton
did not schedule enough games to
become eligible in the race the next
year. This brought I number Of
smiles in the conference.
South Dakota State, the Univers-
ity Of South Dakota, Morningside
and the University Of North Dakota
have always made the conference
track meet. Z tough affair for
Creighton, with South Dakota State
furnishing the most opposition.
So most .o4 the coaches and ath-
letic directors in the North Central
group. believe that Schabinger is do
ing the right thing by pulling out Of
the loop before his record is hurt to
such IN extent that the Missouri VAL
ley conference will not accept him.
Schabinger is athletic director 1t
the Catholic institution and coaches
basketball. C. A. Wynne is head foot
ball coach, assisted by J. NJ. McMul-
Ian, J: A. Trautmsn, and ]. E. Beha.
