IIUSKERS MAY REENTER FOLD Committee Decides to Permit Ne braska to be Reinstated in Conference. WOULD CHANGE SCHEDULE KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 17 The University of Nebraska was read mitted to the Missouri Valley Ath letic Conference by unanimous vote of presidents and chancellors at a meeting here today. Request for re instatement came from authorities of the Nebraska institution. Nebraska withdrew from the conference in 1919 because of a desire to play football in Omaha. Conference rules provide for athletic contests only in a city of a contesting institution. The rule adopted last December for bidding any institution of the confer ence to engage in athletic contests Tii'h the University of Nebraska also was revoked at today's meeting. Readmission of Nebraska to the conference, officials explained, neces sitates the rearrangement of the foot ball schedule to provide games for Nebraska with conference teams. This means that if Nebraska plays lin gers and Penn the games must be stuped in Lincoln. The Cornhuskers .-i!l be officially admitted when Chan cellor Avery informs the conference officials in writing that Nebraska will live up to the rules of the conference.

COMMERCIAL CLUB HOLDS ANNUAL BANQUET FRIDAY NEBRASKA WINS OPENING GAME Score in Hotly Contested Battle. PICKETT FANS TEN MEN The Nebraska ball tossers whipped the Methodists from Wesleyan to the tune of 7 to 2. at the M street park Friday afternoon. It was the opening game for both teams. Air tight pitch ing by Hinman of Wesleyan and Cap tain Pickett of Nebraska, backed up by steady .fielding, made the first four innings scoreless. In the fifth the Huskers got to Hinman for three counters. In the sixth the Cornhusk ers pushed across four more markers which sewed up the game and enabled Schissler's crew to breeze through to the finish with an easy victory. Captain Pickett's pitching was the' outstanding feature of the game. Pickett held Wesleyan to six hits, whiffed ten men, and did not issue a free ticket to the first bag. In the seventh Folsom and Hinmar led off with clean hits to the first sta tion. Tickett tried to catdh Hinman napping off second and threw the ball into centerfield. Folsom scored and Hinman went to third on the error. M. Mayo beat out a slow one to short and Hinman scored. Pickett then fanned Davis and McCandless died when McCrory caught his fly. Mayo went to second on Swanson's passed ball but was caught for the third out by a throw, Pickett to Bailey. Kline went in for the Huskers In the ninth and held the Wesleyan out fit scoreless. E. Mayo opened the ninth with a clean single to center, but Folsom, Hinman and M. Mayo were easy marks and the inning closed without a score. The heavy slugging of Swanson, Lynn. Tickett. Bekins and McCrory in the fifth and sixth brought victory for th elluskers. The snappy fielding of McCrory, Lynn. Pickett and E. Mayo were the features of the day. The Wesleyan aggregation pulled a "boner" when the Huskers had a three run lead, a Methodist batter was sent to the plate to bunt a man to second ajid two men were down.
