"4,, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 191G. THE LINCOLN DAILY STAB. THIRT On th6 Spotting Pike By "CY" SHERMAN NO CHANCE FOR OMAHA I TO LAND NEBRASKA GAME. The effort of Miles Groenleaf, writer for the Onvilv.i World-Herald, to up .1 boycott of Cornhusker football games in 1-mCfln in punishment for a persistent icfusal by state university atlijctic department I to schedule "lUB game" each year I in Omaha, can have but one result. Suid result is follows: No "big game" will bo scheduled in Omaha and Grciml-jaf and his "boycotters" may proceed forthwith to rap Corn- husker football as hard and often as they please.

The oddest angle of the Omaha clamor is that certain university graduates in the metropolis who doubtless wish to. be loyal to their alma mater have permitted tnemselves to be tricked by GreenleaC. who is yelping for a Xebra.sKa game in Omaha as a means of concealing- his real purpose-that of -boosting Creighton's games. One of the university grads who is being fooled is Harvey Xewbranch, editor-in-chief of tho World-Herald. Friend Harvey indulges' in a labored double-column, double-leaded editorial in today's issue.

He gives utterance to a pretended approval of the Graen- leaf demand for the staging of a Nebraska gamp, Omaha, yet it is not candid and does not nnr true, indicating plainly that the "World-Herald editor, is to be fair to' Lincoln and to the state university in matters, realizes he has enlisted on behalf of an unworthy cause. Tho fact that the Missouri valley conference authorities gave their consent to the playing of the Xebraska- Oregon Aggie game in Portland is cited as justification for the transfer of one "big game" each season to Omaha. The athletic department at Nebraska had a special purpose in view in seeking pel mission to play in Portland. The head coach and athletic director at Xobraska resigned last winter. This coach was suspected of harboiing the plan to entice certain Nebraska athletes to desert the Corn- husker cause--a suspicion which was confirmed by subsequent events.

The athletic department at the university then projected tho Portland game on the theory that the -western trip would be so attractive and alluring to the playprs that this enemy of Nebraska athletics would fall in his plans. Very clearly, the end justified the means. On that basis. Chancellor Avery of Nebraska went before the of the coiifeience governing board and asked the Poitland concession. The boaid members, comprising the executives and regents of; tho sev- eral conference institutions, grunted the Nebraska petition on condition that in the luture there would nevei be a Mimlar icquest.

To make suie ot their ground, the conference heads revised the "home field" rule, which now specifies, th.it a "home field" must be located ths same city as the "oxcutive oftices" of the institution. This is a complete bar to tho Omaha project. Tho inspiration for this revision was provided by delegates from the universities of Kansas and Missouri who are unalterably opposed to the of the annual Kansas-Missouri game in Kansas City. The legislation cited was passed with the sole purpose of forever silencing the Kansas City agitation, yet the effect of it is to forbid Nebraska and all other conference schools in transferring their games from "homo fields." Even if this" particular rule were not on the conference statutes, Omaha graduates have no license to demand a Nebraska same. The mere fact that a few hundred tickets are sold in Omaha in advance of the important games in Lincoln has no bearing on the situation.

Grand Island, Hastings, Beatrice or any one of a dozen Nebraska towns might get into the same game and, by purchasing blocks of tickets, insist on annual playing tours by Cornhusker teams. Incidentally, nobody in tha cities specified has been so absurd as to suggest that a university football game should be placed on the same basis as a ruckle-chasing circus, which might be in Falls one day and Brokenbow the next. Dispatches from Omaha convey the information that certain state university graduates, now residents ot the state metiopohs, licld a mass meeting Thursday night and appointed a committee to grapple with the problem of landing one of Nebraska's "big games." The appointment of this committee is welcomed by the athletic department at the university. After the committee has made a trip to Lincoln to consult with Chancellor Avery, receiving first-hand the exact of the conference rule situation, the Omaha giaduates may come to a realization that a game Omaha is an impossibility and that they have been playing into the hands of the Creighton clique, which is hostile the success of state university alhletics for the simple reason that Nebraska games in Lincoln pull Omaha people to Lincoln while Creighton games at Omaha are shmly attended. HARPER RETAINED AS COACH AT NOTRE DAME.

When Notre Dame lost to Nebraska, 20 to 19, in the football battle of a year ago on Nebraska field, there was OUR HATS GIVE SERVICE IN USE GIVE SATISFACTION EN" APPEARANCE Give the pleasure that comes from owning and wearing the best.

Usual price criticism 'of the i Usuno coach because of the defeat. Anil the ciitic- ism was rt-iXMtod when Notre IVxmc lost to tho A i team-this year.

Nevertheless, the Notro Dame authorities! havo a proper realization of the fact that Jesse 0. llnrpor. director of ath- lotiea and head couch of football, is a credit to the athletic Ucjiartincnt ot the South Bond school. This has been demonstrated by Harper's re-election for another year's term as head coach. It is only stating that which it- his due to relate that Mr.

Harper has impressed the athletic authorities ut the University of Nebraska as fine sportsman and gentleman, on basis followers will join in extending congratulations to Notre Dame. The re-election of Harper inspired the following: by President Cavauaugh of Notre Dame: "Not only Jim I completely satisfied with the work of Coach Harper in athletics, but I have the sieatos-t admiration for htm nnd the, greatest confidence in him as man. His ideals of sport are the lushest and his record Is the (greatest in Amorle-i'i His influence students is all that could be desired, and they have for him not only admiration as a leader, bufrespcct for him as a man. I cousidei Coach Harper the finest figure in American athletics," The frank of Coach Harper by the head of Notre Dame university 'provides an insight as to why tiie. members "of the Nebraska -lward, -voted unanimously in re-electing- Dr: E.

J. Stewart. The Cornhuskers Were defeated in two of their eight Raines this year, yet the Nebraska authorities took pleasure in in effect, that it is more essential to consider the character of a coach and director than to lay stress on the record of victories and defeats.

"I have had two months of preparation for this match and the fellows who string on my end are not gojng- to be disappointed. "Where is this man Betz, anyway, and where JVIaurell?

I'm here, but where is Maurell? And Bctz will soe me over at the auditorium next Thuisduy night, too. He may see altogether too much of me before I am through with his boy, Maurell."

During: the ooming week he will merely need to' keep himself in his present trim. Daily's inquiry concerning Betz and Mauieli is answered by a letter, received today by the sports editor of The Star.
