Meet Monday.
Coach Stiehm is in receipt of a
letter from Omaha asking for a game
of soccer. It is probable that a couplo
of games will bo arranged. "Jumbo"
has also been trying to got two Omaha
semi-pro teams tojcame anil put jmlji
game- for the benefit of Nobraska fans
who are learning to enjoy the great
tingllsh game.
3io Athletic Board' will-meet -next
Monday afternoon at four o'clock In
Dr. Clapp's office. Several matters of
routine will be disposed of. Coach
Stiehm will bring before the board his
recommendation that an lnter-depart-ment
baseball league be formed. Mr.
Stiehm will submit articles and will
suggest the calling of caucuses to
choose delegates to a meeting for tho-
forming of rules aim regulations.
This 1b a part of the plan Mr. Stiehm
has been working on to encourage
greater numbers to participate In ath
lotics. He believes that it would b
posslblo to form an eight or nine team
league. As ho has tentatively out
lined the league, he would have nlno
teams, Freshman Laws, Junior and
Senior Laws, Civil and Electrical En
gineering, Mechanical Engineering
and Foresters, School of Commerce,
School of Agriculture, Arts and
Sclonco Freshmen, throo senior
classes In Arts and Science College.
The plan as putllned is to bar no
one. The plan would bo to have each
team play every other team at least
onco. This would mean about thirty
six games In all. Tho winners would
bo determined on tho percentage
basis.
