NOTRE DAME IS EASIER
Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 19. (Special
Telegram.) Announcement was
made this morning by Dr. E. J. Stew
art, head coach of the University of
Nebraska, that Syracuse university
would play the Huskers next Thanks
giving day in Lincoln, v
Syracuse university lias tendered
Nebraska a five-year contract, which
would bring the strong eastern team
to Lincoln for five consecutive years
for. a turkey day battle. Syracuse is
one of the leaders in eastern foot ball
and the Nebraska management feels
that the intersectional battle is one
which would appeal strongly to all
lovers of foot ball.
The Husker management has not
acted upon the suggestion of the five
year contract, although negotiations
have been completed for the game
next Thanksgiving day. An October
date between Nebraska ' and Notre
Dame on Nebraska field has already
been decided upon. Jess Harper's
eleven is very popular in Nebraska
and there is no disposition on the
part of Nebraska to overlook this
game. .
With Kansas, Missouri and Iowa
games already ' booked, the Huskers
will face the stiffest schedule in their
history. One or two more games are
yet to be arranged before the foot ball
schedule is complete.
