Editorial Remarks
MIC. DUCKNKR'8 LKTTKK.
Mr. Buckner's letter, which is pub
lished in another column of this pa
per, is Buroly commendable as a frank
and open explanation of the causes
which resulted In the football schedulo
of tho season which haB just closed.
Tho NobraBkan Bees no reason for
denying that tho nrranginLnt of the
games this year was by no means a
perfect one, or that it had much to
do with two of the defeats which Ne
braska has suffered. But that the
pehedulo was the result of poor
judgment or mere carelessness, Mr.
Buckner fully disproves.
Wo believe that tho conditions
which faced the athletic board at the
close of the Bcason last year are fully
realized by all closo followers- of Ne
braska's (jotball career. "With tho
east more or less afraid of us,' tho
west snapping peevishly at our hools,
and a growing deficit In our treasury,
the outlook was as discouraging, per
haps, as It has been for many years.
The Nebraskan bolleves that Mr.
Buckner's ability, energy and clear
sightedness Ib fully exemplified by
what -was accomplished thlB year. And
while our defeats muBt be traced back
to the arrangement of the schedulo,
the fact still remains that 'we are
more prominent In the public eye to
day than ever before, that we are
again on our feet financially, and that
pur -athletic future Is bright- with-
promise. And The Nebraskan, for
one, is glad to accord to Mr. Buck
ner his duo share of praise for tho
attainment of this state of affairs.
Both In signed articles and editor
ials The Nbbraskan has called for a
tuspenslon of the Colorado and Has
kell games. But It has never been
our Intention to comment disparag
ingly upon the scheduling of these
games for this year. They were regard
ed by everyone as necessary to tho
finances of the football management,
and were expected, especially in the
case of Haskell, to aid very mater
ially in clearing the debt of tho ath
letic board. Frankly, wo shall bo
sorry to see either of these games
scheduled again, but the condition of
.affairs last year, without doubt, would
havo JuBtlflcd their being (akjn on,
whothcr necessitated by previous con
tract or not.
Mr. Bucknor need not feel that bis
efforts are unappreciated at Nebraska.
We may .assure him that tho contrary
la the case, and that be will be re
membered for many years to como as
an Ideal football manager.
DEFENDS SCHEDULE.
(Continued from' pago One.)
succeeding the Minnesota game, and
the Haskell game Immediately fol
lowing. The first of these was more
potentially unfortunate than the lat
ter, though tho issues of the two
games have caused attention to bo di
rected only to tho Indian game. Had
Iowa dofeated us, as she might well
have done after our Minnesota game,
it wold have been quite fairly
chargeable, at least In part, to "the
schedule. Had our plucky captain
been in tho game at Kansas City, at
tention would not have been called
to our 'unthinkable' schedule, but the
management and board would have
boon congratulated on their ticket of
fice forethought; but the schedule
would have been risky just tho same.
One word explains both games. For
two months wo were positively as
sured Minnesota could not take us on.
They were frank and friendly but we
wore 'too heavy for a light game, and
not in tho Big Nine for a champion
ship game.' Wo then set to work to
do tho boBt we could without her.
Tho Indians were no longer a draw
ing card In Lincoln. Wo had beaten
thorn too often. Tho 1903 receipts
were only one-half the4l902 receipts.
Something had to bo done, for though
Lincoln Is generous, we knew from
experience that tho Iowa and Illinois
games alone could not balance the
ledger. Then another 'idea' seized tho
board and managements Wo -would
try Kansas City. Mr. Wyer, as foot-,
ball chairman, had boon extremely
anxious to see tho Kunsas-Nebraska
game tried there, and again last year
the board .driven by neceBBity.deomed
the experiment advisable; it seemed
to all of us a possible money maker,
and the dato was agreed upon. Iowa
bad but one date to offor, November
Bth, and we acepted. Then to the
surprise at. all, Minnesota offered Oc
tober 29th with .no other date pos--slblo.
When wo were planning the
other dates wo had no means of
knowing that neither Michigan nor
Chicago would play Minnesota, and
thus make possible a Minnesota-Nebraska
game. Wo had overy reason
able ground for thinking tho con-i
trary. Wo could not cancel Iowa, we
could not paaB the Minnesota oppor
tunity. W.ere wo to break wtth the
Indian agreement, violating our
pledge as well as giving up what was
thought to bo tho pot of gold at the
end of tho Kansas City rainbow? The
board thought not. Had they known
wo would suffer defeat they would
not have been justified from a moral
as well as financial standpoint In can
celing tho date. An occasional de
feat is better than bankruptcy and a
heavy schedulo Is to bo preferred to
slipping back to our place of a few
years ago in the football catalogue of
the country. It is hard to accept do
foat after 'three years of victory, and
the explanation of a 'preposterous'
schedulo convenient and Indeed not
unreasonable, but it is only fear to
rBTfggeat tho considerations which have
confronted Nebraska in the past and
which must confront nor for some
timo in the future.
"When we, like Minnesota in hor
Michigan gamo, can have 30,000 peo
ple at $2 per, and not a Thanksgiving
game at that, then indeed will wo also,
quite happily, I imagine, 'stay at
homo until driven south by the cli
mate.' "EMORY R. BUpKNER."
