A I NEWS, A FOOTBALL NOTES JK unusual week for the Ooi nhunUers. It's the flrst time th ever taken a trip of such proper as the jaunt to 1'ortland and re lurr. for the Saturday battle began Sunday when the football mer 'ook a long walk to loosen up their battered 1'rames. That was expected to put them in condition for the scrim mages of Monday and Tuesday. Tuesday night they will take the train to start their long journey.

Dr Stewart will have his boys in a car to themselves Indiscriminate mixing i rooters on the train will not be permit tea. The management is taking alonts its own supplies of provisions including many gallons of Nebraska water. The team's chef will be on the job all the waj to see that training table food is supplied. The journey is a handicap naturally. But in Dr.

Stewart the Cornhuskers ha-i just the man to engineer the trip successfully. He undertook an even longer journey last year when his Oregon Aggies invaded Michigan and whipped the Wolverine Aggies to a finish. He was aided on that trip by columns of bear dope. Papers all along the line were drooling their sympathies for the innocents from the coast who venturing into the east where they were sure to be whipped by tecoreb running from 50 to a 100 to 0. Dr.

Stewart let his men read all those stories he could find. By the time they reached Lansing the boys were ready to whip the best team in the, country. This the travelers are favorites if anything. The coaches have tried to combat this tendency to rate the Cornhufckers above the Aggies but they haven't succeeded. The Nebraskans may be a trifle too confident but they probably will come out of it any time the coach wants to mention the way the Kansas Aggies held them Saturday.

Chicago's sudden turning on Indiana last Saturday re-, ealed an old law in operatior An eleven humbled by a small team one Saturday in nine cases out of ten will come back for a bril- lipnt victory the following week. Stagg had the material and the Carleton defeat put the necessary power in the machine. Indiana is said to have lost on fumbling and poor tackling. Stewart has made wondeilul prog ress in working out a defense. Scoring against the Cornhuskers is gcing to be a tough job this year.

The Kansas Aggies Saturuay, with a goott team, never had a cnance. If the Buskers continue to exhibit the same superior bra id of defensive football no appi e- hension along these lines need be felt by Cornhusker sujr i.ters. But the offense needs bolstei i.ig up, and, as his material can only be described as fair, Stewart Will rnaKe himself a miracle man if he repeats the successes of the fortunate Stiehm. That the Cornhuskers will probably, an even break in the luck, capture another valley championship is conceded by the gerater part of valley gridiron followers, but it's nothing more than an even bet on the Oregon Aggies and the odds are on Notre Dame for the big Thanksgiving climax.

The performance of the Americans was excellent, considering the length of the trip they made and the lack of preparation.

Jimmy has tinkered here and there, dropped players, changed the positions of others, and has put a little more all around fight into nearly every corner of the squad. Fred Clarke bequeathed Callahan several good ball players, among them being, of course, Hans Wagner. Callahan also found Max Carey, Al Mamaux, Bill Hinchman, Douglas Balrd.

There is little chance that Doc Johnston and Hans Wagner will not split the first basing; duties ue- tween them next season.
