BREAK RELATIONS WITH NOTRE DAME (Continued from Page One.) is not officially aware of the causes 'which prompted it Newspaper articles emanat ing from South Bend carry a suggestion that Notre Dame authorities are aggrieved over certain things which occurred in Lincoln incident to the Thanks giving day game, which are ex pected from partison followers of football contests the country over For these occurrences, neith er the University of Nebraska nor the athletic department of the University of Nebraska are in any way responsible. Athletic authorities ot the University of Nebraska took an especial care to insure that the Notre Dame visitors were accorded the same courteous treatment that Ne braska strives to extend and has the reputation for extending to all of her guests. The one source of gratifica tion to Nebraska in this dis agreeable afair is a knowledge that a wholehearted, courteous, friendly, welcome was extended to ur guests from Notre Dame. R. D. SCOTT, ' Chairman Athletic Board, University of Nebraska. At the present time the two schools are tied on the number of games won and lost. Nebraska has defeated the "Fighting Irish" five times, and in turn has been defeated five ti Dies. One game has result ed in a tie score. Keen rivalry be tween the two schools has existed from that first game when the Hus ker w .n 20-19. In the past four years Notre Dame has been one of the best teams in the United States. In that per iod of time the school has experi enced but four defeats. Three of the four defeats have been experi enced at the hands of the Cornhus kers. For the first time in many years, the Army was able to defeat the "Irish' this season. Nebraska stands on record as the only team in the country that has been able to consistently place a defeat on the Notre Dame record. Two years ago Notre Dame experienced a continu ous string of victories, only to be defeated by the Scarlet and Cream athletes in their final game. This year, after losing to the Army in an early season game the team from Scnth Bend came to Lincoln as favorites over the twice defeated Ilaskers. The crowd, the largest ever seen at a Missouri Val ley game, and the game itself, which ended 17-0, Nebraska victorious, are all history of the great 1925 season. The sadden breaking off of relations has mads the Husker schedule mak ing, a bigger problem than ever, with two home dates still open. prospective wmers Valley basketball race this season are Washington, Missouri and Kansas. Wo would suggest that Nebraska be added to the list as the Comhuskers will have plenty to say regarding the outcome of the race. The failure of Notre Dame to keep their contracted game with Ne braska for the 1926 season has 'placed the Husker schedule makers , in a serious position. The contin- f 1 - u -e u- ti.. i l made it hard to schedule out of the ball world, and Coach Schulte of Nebraska whom we might term as an equal genius-in track. An exacmple of the deep respect and friendly understanding betwecn the two coaches was illustrated at the annual Kansas City Athletic Club track meet last year held in Convention Hall, Kansas City. Coach Rockne, was unable to accompany his team to the meet because of previous en gagements. As a result, he sent a note to the Husker coach, giving him complete charge of the Notre Dame team. On that evening, the Notre Dame runners were under the care of the Husker trainer Dr. Mc Lean, and were advised and run in their respective events and against Huskers runners by the same man who was guiding the Husker destinies.
