The score was HVO to 0. or some score Just as ridiculous. Nebraska officials then held a pow wow and this ultimatum was deliv ered : “Creighton is not strong enough to warrant a continuance of athletic relations. The school's athletic policy is also questionable.” And therewith, Creighton ceased to exist, so far as the Husker institu tion was concerned. To Meet Again. But “time changeth all things," to use a hackneyed expression. And Creighton Is no exception. The school has made great strides in athletics and this year Nebraska condescend ed to resume athletic relations. It sent its scarlet-jerseyed floor artists to Invade Creighton's stronghold and the result was: Creighton, 4fi; Nebraska, 24. In 1524 the schools probably will mpet again—this time in football— a sport In which Nebraska has won national recognition. * Crelghtor.'s football teams have not measured up to those that have been turned out at Nebraska, but It has two seasons to prepare for the con test.
