McHrldei sports editor of the Kansas City Star and a well known football official tn MiHiouri valley circles, The Star has A hunch that the K.

The pretddent and chsncellors of the institutions comprising the Missouri valley conference must decide tho iliiestlon of whether the Nebraska t'ornbuskers may accept the Invitation of the Pasadena "Tournament of Host's committee to play a game on New Year's day with a representative Pacllic coast teum, preferably he University of Washington, or must stay at home and be content with their laurels us slx-limo thamplons In their own region.

The Nebraska athletic board, at lis regular i'lfinthly meeting last evening, votel on the Pasadena Invltntlon. requesting Chancellor Avery to communicate by wire with the other conference schools in an effort to sccuiv the approval of the post-seiison plan. In response to the action of the Nebraska board, Chancellor Avery todjy sent the following message to the executive licuds of six Institutions, which, knock or bruise in the Ames game Saturday. Most of the Injuries were of a minor nature and will not serve to slow up the work of the team against Ktiohm's men. Hluvkburne and Iuun, however, received hard knocks.

Blackburne was unconscious for a time and was not In a suit Monday afternoon. I.aun suffered a deep cut over Ills right eye. but he should be able to play Saturday. The line problem continues to' confront Conch Hawley. The forward looked bad against Ames, and is still Mr from displaying real offensive or defensive strength.

The mentor will continue his efforts to stiffen his forwards this week and hopes to instill some fight and charge into their play before Saturday's clash. He may be successful. In hich case the Cornhuskers will have a real fight on their hands. Back Fast; tine Weak. Indications are that the present personnel of the line will not be changed to any material degree.

The line, as it now stands, needs practice and work more thnn anything else. In any event, it Is too late in the season for Hawley' us. We found out that Mr. Melady Is square and an upright In everv respect. People have confident's In hlni because theyrknow he would not a hold Of anything unless It is right, and that is theJ kind Of a num we to do business mid" we are going to stand by him.

Fair Treatment In Lincoln, "Twenty per cent of the gross receipts was asked of Mr. Melady-for the use or the auditorium, Jimt enough so lie would have no chance to rent It and do an thing. He had offered to pav a Hat rate of $600 und even bet-ter, which is more than any other cliy in the I'nlted States will charge for similar building, but any other city In clincd. The result wits that the contest had to be transferred to Lincoln, where we always received fair treatment. 'A man is advancing a good deal of money when he goes to promote a big contest of this kind.

It is a cinch that he Is not paying I'll per for the use" of the building. If a man says he can do business on this basis and pay that per cent far tho use of the building, (here must he something wrong, and would not care to do business with -anyone that we would suspect.

The Cornhusker With another week of work together, the Hawkeye line should be much Im proved and able to give a good account of itself. It is possible that iillilami may secure MrKee's place at left end. 51c-Kee, however, played the best game against the Cyclones that he lias this year. If he continues to show form this week he will probably retain his Job. Bowlesby's guard is also open to competition.

Howlesby lucks tin-fighting instinct and unless Coach Hawlev can some "pep" Into the A Store For Men and Boyi big fellow before Saturday's game, either Blackburne or Uruhb may start ut right guard against the Cornhuskers. The backfleld quartet will remain the same. The Iowa set of backs have been ranked as superior to any other backfleld in I he "Big Nine" conference. They have been hampered, however, by a weak line, which has prevented them from displaying their real ability. elash Is the concluding; game on the Hawkeyc schedule and, despite previous setbacks this season.

Old Gold supporters are In an optimistic mood. They do not predict victory by any means, nor do they think that the Hawley crew has an even chance ngalnst the Missouri valley champions, hut they are of the opinion that contest next Saturday will be bitterly fought from whistle to whiHtle and It is not thought that ritiehm's men will have an easy time of it. The Jfawkeye udherer.ta find no basis for their contentions in the Iowa-Ames game of last Saturday, for the old Gold line looked far from being utrong in that contest. They point, however, to the case of the sons of Yale, who suddenly r'-jfutned life and iifter several thoroush cleanings earlier In the season, took Princeton to decisive trimming. They assert that the Hawkeyes nny display some such a revival against the Cornhuskers at Lincoln next Saturday and expect to see Hawley's men put up a good scrap against their ancient rivals.

Coach Hawlev surveyed a somewhat buttered and bruised aKgregution of athletes on Iowa field Monday al'ter- noon. As a result, the final week of football practice at Iowa will be light and the 'varsity was dismissed early. There was hardly a man on the Hawk-eye squad but what received some, Iwlth Nebraska, eomprrse the Missouri alley conference. "Our athletic board, with my per-i ronal' approval, has voted to permit our football team to play a post-season ith a team representing the Pa- eitlc x'onst at Pasadena, Calib, on New Year's day, providing that the opposing i team will play tinder satisfactory eligibility rule and that the consent of majority of the schools In the Missouri valley conference to waiving the prohibiting such game can be sc- eiireo. Will you please wire me col-i 'ect, stating whether you or the author- uics to whom the matter may lie delegated are willing that the conference lule should be waived.

Nebraska does not wish to proceed further In negotln-ilons without the consent of a majority of the. Institutions in the conference. H. AVERT." I'hunetllor Avery, members of tlu athletic board, Athletic Director Stlehin mill the Nebraska players are Mai the decision of the conference may be made known not later than Wednesday. If approval Is granted by i the conference, the noxt ulep In tho I Tasiidena plan would be to accept tho inUlotlon and call on the westerners to uviiMuince tho team which the Husli- i would lie naked to meet In the Gil Oohie's undefeated Washington' university eleven Is the one Hie Cornhuskers are most anxious lo meet, hut tho Seattle authorities 'Miit 'pledge themselves to be gov-eriicd by the ordinary eligibility code, I which freshmen and four-year players.

This requirement, however, I should not be a bar to a game with I Washington. The HesjUie aggregation has played two games with the Uul-: versity of California this fall, and lo i both Instances was bound by the rule forbidding freshmen and four-year men. Head Coach Ktlehm and. the 0 stecker Wyoming, which was railed off last week, has been definitely scheduled and will be played Krlday at p. m.

Rutherford and Chamberlain urn players extraordinary. They would look as good on the Harvard or Yale elevens aa they1 look on the Nebraska, machine, possibly granting that Harvard or Yale might possess a (renter rush line than the Htlehm roller. Why Is it that Nebraska always I urns out an eleven of the class tho Ittiakors displayed at Lawrence Hat-' urdsy? Where do the stars come from? And why Is It that a team of the power of the Kansnns show when they line up for battle cannot cope with the foemen from the north? There's one reason, among many, that stands out prominently.

It was on exhibition at MeConk field Saturday. Tiie Cornhuskers have thi football sense. Where they gat it or how they get It la another question, but they huve It. And they always ut least, nearly always have It. Take the upenlna; game of the play at Lawrence lust Saturday.

Nebraska kicked off to lumen und Nlelson, picking the ball up behind his goal line, ran with It. Ho was tackled and downed by a Ne-braakan on the Kansas 3-yard line. Nlelson had only to touch the ball down when he caught It behind his ponl Una line and wait for tha referee to declare the tourhhnck. Thnl have given Kansas the ball to scrimmage on their 20-yard line. As It was, LJndsey was compelled lo vunt from behind his gosl line, and Kansas never got ever tho opening break.

Later on In the same gHme, Kan-sns Hcked off and a Nebraska player caught the ball hneli of his goal line. Old he run with It? He did not. Did he attempt to run with It? Not an attempt. He didn't even show symptom of a desire to run with It, Instead the Cornhusker stooped nnd hold the hall on the ground and Jim Masker stuck a tnuchhack label on the play. Nebraska put the ball In play, from scrimmage twenty yurds out.

There's the difference, ut loast a difference, A DELICIOUS CHEW IS "OLD KENTUCKY feat. But not this season. You can mighty near get a bet down on that. The Cornhuskem, Missouri valley conference champions for the sixth straight year, have only one more Ijsnie to play, that with tows. Two weeks ugo Nebraska defeated Ames Jt to 0.

Saturday Ames trimmed Iowa 16 too. It's a fat chance lliu Uia City eleven has in the game against the Stiehm roller. Last year the Hawk-eves, fighting bitterly, held the vaunted Huakar machine one touchdown, but Halllgun hooted Ihree eoals from the field, giving XthraBka a 10 to victory, Ihe game will hardly prove that close when Ihe two teams come together Saturday, There la little probability of a post-season game between the Cornhuskers and the Sooner. The valley conference probably would not consent to the game, and the probability is that Nebraska will not go before the board with a request for permission to play the game. A battle between the Nebraskans and Oklahoma would be pretty cotnbati but there are few who are wiling to concede a victory tn Oklahoma.

No doubt the Sooneis would score on the Nebraska machine, probably more thnn once, hut Uennln Owen's team would be unable to stop the charges of the Nebraska forwards and the sweeping end skirts of the Cornhusker hacks. There is much argument anions; followers of football In the valley us to whether this is Nebraska's greatest team. Rutherford's eleven Is a marvel of football perfection, but our opinion is tlmt HalllgHii's 1914 was a greater scoring machine and a greuter defensive eleven. Rutherford's team mlsseB Cuneron at center and llalllgan at tackle. Nor Caley or Conk a Potter.

last year Nebraska turned hark the Michigan Aggies 24 lo 0. This year the Cornhuskers took on the powerful Notre Dsme eleven to give the valley folks and the middle west folks a line of comparison between Missouri valley foot be II and representative middle west football. Again the Lincoln eleven got away with a victory by tha narrow margin of one 'point, 20 to IB. fin doubt the Notre flame eleven of this year Is stronger than the Michigan Aggies of last fall, but Ihe Aggies of Isst vear were great eleven, yet the Hunkers held them- scoreless. Again Nebraska's eleven compares favorably with eastern teams, Of; course comparative scores form the only basis, for Judging, but one likes to revel In scores, even though they do not always mean a Int.

Hut followers of the valley game cannot help but point with pride to the victory of Nebraska over Notre Dame and then cite the subsequent victory of Notre Lame over the Army team 7 to 0. Weat Point Isn't particularly strong this fall, but the Army never turns out a slouch eleven, Nebrnska has stars that will compare favorably with the greatest stars of the east. Princeton has Tibbott and Click; Harvard hus Malum and King; Yale has Guernsey nnd "Pie" Way; Cornell has Harrett and Collins, but which pair of all these would you pick- to outshine Sir Richard Rutherford and duy Chamberlain Where In all the realm of football will you find a player who leaves his feet prettier and "spikes" an opponent cleaner or handler than Hick Rutherford? He can't be found. Where will you find an ath- Corn buskers are anxious to make tho Irip to the coast, and their supporters are hopeful that there may be no hitch In the negotiations.

Kverv Cornhusker Although the election of ex-Mayor Frunk Zehrung of Lincoln to the Western league presidency was announced last Sunday in The Star, bast on a message from Hugh L. Jones, owner of the Lincoln club, in which it was stated that the magnates had voted for him unanimously, Mr. Zehrung has not been officially notified of his election.

Manager Hetinanek relates that Joe Sleeker "always has received fair treatment." In the following letter to The Star, Manager Hetmanek makes public the reasons ho intends to stick to Gene Melady, while declining to- have any dealings with the Kr.rmer Burns-Torr Dennlson combination in Omaha: "For the last few months people of Omaha have been anxious to see Joe Stecker wrestle there again, and In fact were demanding the Stjjcker-Hussane match, but 'there is an axiom In sport which reads as follows: 'If you are on a square, building up a reputation, look out for a wrecking Whenever Hterker is called up in to wrestle in Omaha, he is up against a crew of that kind. We knew the conditions, and for that reason were not anxious to wrestle there, and only gave consent to the Steeker-Hussane match because the public was demanding it.

Jealous of Melady's Success. "Aiter they had forced out the Stecker-Westergaard "match, Mr. Melady took the matter up and with great success staged a match in Council Bluffs, and the fcjtecker-Cutler match in Omaha July 5. Without a question, he gave the public two of the best contests ever staged there. Thcsn very same people who were the cau.se of all our troubls in Omaha are now Jealous of Melady's success.

Tony Sleeker, brother of Joe Stecker, and Clarence Kklund, the principals In last night's mat fray at the Hooper, stock pavilion, quit with honots even, after grappling for two horn's and twenty minutes without either making a serious bid for a fall. Brother Tony and Eklund both flashed a fancy line of wrestling stuff, and the mstcb was a thriller from every standpoint, but they wfre so evenly matched that there whi utterly r.o chance that either could be a winner.

For two hours the two grap-plers mixed at a furious clip; then came physical exhaustion and with it no chance for a fall, on which account the sports editor of The Star, who cerved as referee, called the contest a draw It decision announced on the ro-ouest of the principals. The Hooper pavilion was Jsmmed to the limit, an I Promoter Ed Reetz, who handled th affair successfully In every detail, was forced to suspend selling standing room. Tony Sleeker and Kklund have in three matches. The first, staged last spring at Fremont, resulted in a three-hour draw.
