Coach Herrnstein returned yesterday
from Lincoln, where he saw the Ne
braska-Iowa game Saturday and got a
good line on the Cornhuskers. He is
very confident of the outcome of the
game. He was not allowed near the
side lines. but he caught most of the
Nebraska formations.
IF Nebraska plays the same game
against US as they did against Iowa,
I'm not much afraid he said.

players who deserted when the team
was returning from Texas three weeks

If Haskell imports Warren, it is argued
that Nebraska clearly would have
