Dr. Stewart, director of athletics at Nebraska, is in full sympathy with the excursion idea.

"It will enhance our prospects for victory," he said, "if Cornhusker boosters go to the Ann Arbor game to root for the team. We- have not concluded arrangements for the trip by the players, as the excursion suggestion was made several days ago and we were holding off until after the Notre Dame game. If the rooters and business men wish to join with the university ath- lletic department in securing a special tram, the time is ripe to get busy. I am sure it would advertise Lincoln and the university if the excursion iplan is worked out to a successful conclusion. The athletic department at the university will join hands with the Commercial club or any other organization in going after a special tram.

Possibly it might be arranged to take the university cadet band with us. The band would be a big help to the team and its presence boost the advertising feature." Now that the Notre Dame game has (been tucked away and the Huskers 'will tackle Michigan in one of the sea! son's most important gridiron battles I in the west. Cornhusker supporters in the state at large might be interested in the Ann Arbor excursion idea. State 1 university graduates in Omaha ably could be interested in the excursion scheme. At any rate, several prominent members of the Lincoln Commercial club are heai tily in favor i of the excursion plan and tangible de' velopments are predicted for early this week.

Big Ten conference football championship tonight had apparently narrowed down to a 'four-cornered fight between Chicago, Ohio State, Illinois and Minnesota. The other two universities considered as being of championship cali- bre--Northwestern and Wisconsin- have been eliminated, the former through its- crushing defeat by Ohio State last Saturday and the latter through the 7 to 0 defeat handed the Badgers by Illinois today.

Chicago showed unexpected strength in its game against Purdue. The Maroons were expected to win, but hardly as impressively as today's 27 to 0. Stage's men, shot to pieces as they have been by the war, must be considered as formidable contenders. Minnesota is today piobably the wealiet of the four contenders. In- diana has not been considered high class attack, yet she was able to I cross Minnesota's goal line.

Other games the Big Ten today; had little 01 no bearing on the cham- plonshlp. Ohio State had an off day. Michigan showed she was back in form by her 27 to 0 defeat of the Michigan Aggies--her ancient foe. While Michigan is in the Big Ten she will not tigure in the 1917 championship, as the schedule was arranged before her return and only contains muaental games with the conference colleges.

Nebraska huskies have always made a strong bid for valley honors and by defeating Notre Dame's heavy aggregation today indicated that the, warriors would be in i the race to tilt finish.

Judging from the manner In which the Wisconsin boxing commission Is slashing right and left at offending boxers and their managers and inflicting whole-sale suspensions and sundry other punishments on thoso who attempt to trifle with the rules regulating tho sport. It seems likely that there will be a scarcity boxing talent for Badger rings In the Immediate future. Un to the present time two well toiown managers of boxers as well as their entire stables of mltt-wielders have been barred from operating in Wisconsin rings.
