Methodists Ready for
Clash With State Uni
University Dace, Neb., Jan. 26.
(Special.) Wesleyan meets the Uni
versity of Nebraska on the state
floor Saturday evening in the first
game of their annual series, with the
odds about even. Both teams started
the season with a number of changes
in the lineup and the Saturday game
will be the first opportunity for local
fans to see the men in a real contest.
Wesleyan is not confident this year,
as it was last. The absence of Kline,
Johnson and Vifquain from the lineup
makes a hole that Coach Kline has
found some difficulty in filling. Grove,
the ex-Omaha star, is assured of a
regular place as guard and his work
in the few games already played has
been remarkable. Blodgett, a Drake
player, is playing a forward and will
probably be continued in that posi
tion, nugnes, iroiier and fetz are
all old men and the coach has been
building his new team around, this
trio. If the Wesleyan defense is work
ing in its usual shape Saturday eve
ning the Methodists hope to retain the
