NobraBka's Athletic Board is con fronted with a problom of no small di mensions. It has up for decision a question of athletic polloy which may vitally, affect athletics at our institu tion for many years to come and possi bly for all time. This problom may be stated concisely as follows: Should Nebraska Join tho proposed Missouri Valley Conforono League? In attempting to obtain a satisfac tory solution of tho matter in hand there are several factors in tho situa tion to bo carefully noted. One of those and possibly the most impor tant 1b tho relations which now exist between Nebraska rnnd tho so-called "Big- Nino,"and tho effect that Nobras- 5KOH it it it a it it it it it a it it it it it it it 'v.

For many years Nebraska has hud its representatives at the Thanksgiv ing meeting of tho "Big Nine" mana- gersand officers, and has presented Ifct petition for membership in tho Confor ence. For just as mauy years has our "petition been denied upon tho grounds of our dlstanc9 from tho center of the athletic combination and of tho present conference membership which Is oven now unwleldly. In our estima tion theso are obstacles which can. never be romoved and it is our belief that tho only relations Nebraska can' over hope to maintain with, the' mem bers of the "Big Nino" are those of the chance games which our schedules of tho past three or four years have demonstrated, we can arrange with tho very best of them. What effect,' then, will our member ship In tho proposed League havo up on our chances tor secure the games with tho big teams of the prese'nt Com feronco which are necessary for ttio malntononce of our football prestige? Wo thoroly bolievo that if there is any appreciable offect it will not bo harm ful. Tho only possible trouble that could como would bo due to different rules in tho two organizations and with Iowa and Nebraska members of one conference and interested in tho other, wo havo no fear of this contin gency. The next phase of tho problom is tho question of the benefits that mem bership in tho proposed conference would confor upon Nebraska over and above the ones Bhe now enjoys, in discussing this particular question wo shall tako it for granted that tho motn borship of tho "Big Plvo" would consist of the institutions already in lino; that is tb say, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Washington, and Nebraska. Wo under stand that the .membership of Iowa IS decldely in doubt and in our opinion if sha does not Join, it is plainly evi dent that the Conforence Is not worth while to Nebraska; but if Bhe does not join matters tako on a somewhat dif ferent color. An alliance with the leading institu tions of our section would benefit Ne braska in tho assurance it woufd glvo us of afull and satisfactory schedule of contests in ovory branch of our ath letic endeavor every year. It would penoflt Nebraska hy making her "a big toad in a small puddle" rather than "a tadpole on the outskirts of a lake" It would benefit Nebraska by establishing relations of other than a chance athletic nature with tho most influoncial institutions of higher edu cation In tho middle west, and such relations as we havo now only in some degree with Kansas. It would benefit Nebraska by making her a leader in tho spread of clean athletics thru tho west rather than an Imitator of Beml castcrn standards and ideals. In our humble estimation, Nebraska should join tho "Big FIvq" at tho &t00300 it it it it it it it H it it it it it it it it it it t 9K KaG&JKOOJK earliest possiblo moment. Further more she should do everything in her power to sway Iowa from her doubtful attitude toward tho now conference. The first steps of an excellent move ment have been taken and they should bo followed up at once. Tho Nobraskan is in receipt of a copy of a monograph fresh from tho press of the University of Chicago and bearing tho name of Dr. James T. LeeB, of our own instltuUon. Tho arti cle is a reprint of a contribution to the Classical Journal and is on the fol lowing subject: "A Photographic Archaeological Expedition to Sicily and Greece." The expedition was car ried thru, In 1903 at the Instigation of the University and was highly success ful. .
