at Lincoln, and will also act as the
Cougar advance agent. Following
the Nebraska game, the team will

ing here on Monday, November 30.
Coach WEIGH will probably not re-

The Cornhuskers have displayed
some wonderful defensive work this
season but it is claimed their offens-
i've is not as powerful. They defeat
ed the Colorado Aggies 7 to but
were beaten by Penn State with a
score of 20 to 0, Pennsylvania has
one of the strongest teams of the
country and has a good chance of
coming to Pasadena to represent the
east against the west on New Years
day. The Lincoln contest will af-
ford an opportunity of comparing the
strength of the Cougars with that of
the best eastern elevens. Notre
Dame also sent Nebraska down to
defeat with 16 to Z score.
Coach WEIGH in speaking of the
Nebraska game said, I'VE expect to
resort to the forward pass and an
open style of play. The combination
which worked so smoothly against
O. a. c. Saturday will also start the
game with Nebraska and will not be
broken up except in case of injuries. -
1enne and Sax both of whom have
been on the injured list will be in
condition 10 play on Turkey day.
The University of Nebraska is stu
ated in the very heart of the bust
ness district of Lincoln, Nebraska.

two blocks from the main thorough

of about 5000 students while the

tai has population of about 1926 900.

No other games other than the Ne
hraska contest will be played on the
trip The plans OF game with eth
