Printer Alleges His Bid Was Lower
Than All Others Hearing

District Judge A. J. Cornish yester
day afternoon granted to Jacob North
& Co.. printers and binders of Lincoln,
an injunction against the board of re

Purchasing agent Evans.
When asked for their side of the
case yesterday afternoon, the univer
sity authorities concerned refused ab
solutelv to discuss the matter. It will
be fully aired, they said, in the hear
ing which has been set for January 13,
and until then thev do not care to an
swer the statements set forth in the
North petition. Jacob North was
more talkative. He was indignant, he
said, at the way lie had been treated
by the regents.
"The regents asked me lor bids on
the catalogue." said .Mr. North 1 went
to a gn-at deal ot trouble to make mine

and legal way. Then the regents
opened the bids, tound mine to be the

TOWLE CASE MONDAY
Captain-Elect's Eligibility and Coach
Stiehm's Contract up for
Settlement.
The athletic board will meet at 5
p. m. Monday to take up two Import
ant matteis: A three-year contract
with Coach Stielim, and the eligibil
ity of Captain-elect Max Towle.
Stiehm has asked for a contract for
another three years, and those who are
in touch with university athletic af
fairs believe that the request will be
granted.
The Towle affair has been bothering
the authorities for some time. At
Monday's meeting they will either pass
upon his eligibility, or else refer the
whole matter to the eligibility com
mittee of the Missouri Valley confer
ence. Some of them are known to
entertain the opinion that, in order to
avoid even the appearance of unfair
ness, the settlement of the case should
be left to the Valley ofllcinls.
A rumor was ufloat on the campus
yesterday that the board had met this
week and confirmed Towle's election.
Prof. G. E. Barber, president of the
board, denied it absolutely, saying that
lie has called no meeting since the
first of the year, and that the case
has not yet been passed upon.
