XI. NO. 135. UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA, LINCOLN, TUESDAY MAY 1, 1912. Price 5 Cents V OKLAHOMA ADDED TO NEBRASKA'S SCHEDULE MINNESOTA ONLY ONE OF BIG EIGHT TO BE MET. AMES WILL NOT BE PLAYED One Remaining Date Likely To Be Filled by Game With Utah or Some Other Western School. Willi Oklahoma replacing Michigan as the last team on Nebraska's schedule, and with Minnesota the onl "Pig Wight" eleven represented, the CornhuHker football schedule for III 12 lias been given out by Coach Stiehm Tho list of games shows a much less formidable list of opponents than last fall's. However, considering the dif ficulties under which Stiehm has been laboring, and the fact that be has en tered a fight to force equal recogni tion from the "Hig Eight" teams, the schedule is well compounded All but two of the scheduled games art to be played at home, and if the open date is filled it will prohahlv be with a homo game It may be possible that Utah, champions of the Rock mountain conference last jear, may be imported for tins vacant occasion October 2ti,the heart of the season No Ames Game. This is the date which was offered to AmoB. The Iowa Aggie school ob Jocted on tho ground that they had a game away from home the week be fore. Moreover, they insisted in play ing in Lincoln where they would draw more money than at their own small town. Stiehm pointed out that any other arrangement of tho schedule would give Nebraska from two to three games away from home in a row and ended negotiations Tho failure of the anticipated Mich igan and Wisconsin games to material ise will be regretted b the thought less, but not b those who know the situation Stiehm has been insisting on two-year contracts, or, at the worst, three year agreements with these schoolB, so that Nebraska would en tertain the big teams as well as play on their grounds The managers of tho big Bchools insisted on unreason able guarantees, more than the were willing to give Nebraska and the Corn hiiBker coach laid down an ultimatum that tho contracts must be equal or Nebraska would not enter. This stub born attitude convinced Minnesota and the Gophers will disport themselves in Lincoln in lit 1 15 for the firBt time that they have Invaded the city since l'JOO, although they played In Omaha in 1907. Coach Stiehm believes that such a contract is posBiblo with Wisconsin next season Oklahoma a Good Team. Oklahoma, tho team which IUIb the end of tho list, has played consistent ball against valley teams, beating all opponents in recent years Denny Owoiib' proteges are fast and play real footbalV, and a game between them and the Cornhuskers will possibly set tle tho championship of the two sec tions. It 1b more than possible that the open date will be filled in with Utah or Borne Hocky mountain confer ence team bo that Nebraska will have opponents from three different groupa of colIegeB Tho schedule follows- Oct. 5 Dellovuo at Lincoln Oct. 12 Kansas Aggies at Lincoln Oct. 17 Minnesota at MinneapoliB.

UNUSUAL FEATURE AT DANCE j EDDIE WALT WILL PLAY FOR THE JUNIOR HOP ON MAY 10.

It is hard to tell whether or not wo are going to get a chance to have the spring fever. One day the sun shines beautifully, and the next day it rains or ninj be the thermometer drops twenty or thirty degrees from a former position of not over sixty above, so there you are In order to get a good case of spring fever the weather must continue warm and the skies must be cloudless. This condition produces a drowsiness upon the student, which, like all other forms ot disease, has a scientific terminology. Spring fever 1b tho term most "uni versal! " used by all students but the real name is "laziness"; some have called it "somnia," but only among those with the bulging fore heads will this term be heard So far there have been a few caseB of spring fever reported, but in every case they have been only slightly af fecting the student. All this goes to prove that the real epidemic has not jet approached tho Nebraska campuB. However, it might bo Bald that among a few students, well known upon the campus, the illness usually comes with the BlighteBt provocation, and It Is these cases that are being eagerly watched. It is hoped that the student body 'can bo moro enlightened upon this subject sometlmo within a week; but that all depends upon the vv eather. PHI P6IS AND BETAS WIN. One Game Is Lop-sided, But Other Is Very FaBt, Two moro Intor-frat baseball games were playod yesterday on Nebraska field. Tho Phi PsIb cleaned up the Sigma Nus 25-2 In a poor excuse for a ball game. It was entirely one sided, as the score shows. The Alpha TauB went down to defeat before tho Betas, 6-0. This was a well-played game and there were not the UBiral number of errors evident In frat games. GLEE CLOD WILL GIVE ANNUAL CONCERT MAY 24 BIG PREPARATIONS BEING MADE FOR THE EVENT.
