Cornhuskers Turn Their Faces Toward Nebraska
University Special Train is Nearing Nebraska Line
All Are Happy on Board- Crowds Meet Team at Stations- Ready for Wesleyan
The Nebraska University Cornhuskers, the laurels still encircling their brows as a result of the clean victory over the Oregon Aggies at Portland last Saturday, have turned their faces toward Nebraska. The team and band are coming home.
With some misgivings in the hearts of the coaches, some doubts as to whether the team could emerge from the Saturday game victorious, the outgoing trip had an air of seriousness that is pleasantly lacking on the return. For Nebraska the team won, and the men are looking forward to the rest of the season with more assurance.
No Bad Injuries
Saturday's game was a hard one, but none of the men on the squad were knocked out by the encounter with the coast bunch. Stewart is keeping the men in light daily workouts on the return, and the team will reach Lincoln in good physical trim. Wesleyan university is counting upon an exhausted opponent for next Saturday, but Wesleyan is likely to be surprised.
If the trip out was a success, the return is a triumph. Alumni who met the outgoing squad with best wishes, are replaced by old-grade anxious to congratulate the team. The band, glowing in hopes of victory before, has redoubled its wind with the consciousness of victory. The rooters aboard are happy.
The train will pull into the Lincoln station Wednesday afternoon. Word has gone out to the team that it will be given a hearty welcome by the home folks. The Innocents will be in charge of the welcome, and it will exceed even the farewell, if present plans and the desires of every man on the campus do not miscarry.
