Toxic, Nov. 29.-It is understooH
that American Ambassador O'Briep

the Japanese government to the great

arriving on the Pacific coast. He pre-,
sented the view OF the state depart

requested a rigid investigation and
prompt measures to prevent the immi-

who, entering as a student, might aft

Press: I'VE are now considering the
best methods of controlling and limit,

mistakes which may have occurred re-

dents who have reached a certain
grade in the Japanese schools desir-
Ing to visit America register as stu

Except for one brief period, the
game was st. Louis all the way. The
St. Louis backs tore great holes In
Nebraskas line and took full advan-
tage OF the openings made for them
by their linemen. Nebraska's defense
proved surprisingly weak.
Nebraska's only opportunity to pre-
vent a shut out came in the first half,
when it took magnificent brace and
carried the ball from the center OF the
field to st. Louis vineyard line, as
sisted by a forward pass for thirty
yards, Weller to Johnson. With only
a yard to go and two downs to make
1t, 1t seemed certain that Nebraska
would score. A smash at the right
side of the line failed to gain, as did
Weller's attempt at the other side,
and the ball went to st. Louis four
inches from its goal line.
Chaloupka, Nebraska's right tackle,
sustained broken wrist shortly after
the game started and Harte was
shifted from guard to tackle and Per.

But one incident tended to mar an
