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.
Oct. 26 Open date.

I'robuhl no announcement in a long

ersity band would give a concert on

it offers an unexampled oppoitunit
to ply their aits and sciences, to the
wear j student with brain reeling with
math figures and history statistics, it
offeis a soothing paen, to the open
air fiend it provides another chance
to inhale huge lungfulls of that cheap
est of all commodities In fact the
band concert seems to be Just the
thing needed for the Bpring weather
and all the weather dispenser needs
do to populari.e himself hereabouts
is to send a bright, balmy evening
with just enough, but not too much
moonlight
The campus is in excellent shape for
the concert; for right now it is in al
most the prettiest state of the j car
The concert will begin at 7 (Jo
o'clock and will end at S (0

SPRING FEVER IS RARE
ONLY A FEW CASES OF PECULIAR
MALADY TO BE OBSERVED
AT NEBRASKA.
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.

probable that the mandolin club will

done the concert will undoubtedly
rival "The Diplomat" as a source of
enjo merit Other minstrel numbers
