Jack Best, Most Beloved of Cornhuskers, Going to Oregon
Jack Best is going to Oregon.
The most loved man on the campus, a man whose loyalty to the Cornhusker school cannot be measured, who has been the sincere friend of every one of Nebraska University's athletes and near athletes, will be sent on the team's longest road trip. He will go hoping to see the Cornhuskers win, confident that they will do their best every minute of the play, and realizing that if they do lose, it won't be because they didn't try.
The news that Jack is going has not been officially confirmed by the athletic board, but the matte has been discussed, and there are assurances that if Jack can stand the trip, he will go. The doughty old Englishman declares that he will be able to do it and his heart warms whenever the thought comes to him that he may be able to cheer his boys to a victory 2,000 miles from the home grounds against a hostile crowd and a determined team.
"Jimmie" is going to Oregon.
