OVER THE PACIFIC COAST
NEBRASKA SCORES 17 WHILE
OREGON AGGIES MAKE 7
Enemy's Touchdown Was a Fluke
Teamwork of Cornhuskers a
Big Feature
(Special Telegram to The Daily Ne
braskan.) Portland. Ore., Oct 2. Strangers in
a strange land, Nebraska University's
football team this afternoon outplayed
the eleven representing the Oregon ag
ricultural college, and won the great
est intersection al football game of the
year, 17 to 7, before a crowd of more
than 6,000 people, including a few hun
dred alumni of Nebraska University
and former citizens of the state by the
Big Muddy.
The several hundred Nebraskans,
sitting together, surrounded by a
crowd that was pulling for the Pacific
coast team to down its former coach,
are happy tonight For their team,
their boys, played a magnificent game
of football. A defense that was im
pregnable, and an offense that had
the punch to win two touchdowns and
really earn a third from the great Ag
gie team was unfolded before them.
But the coast need not be ashamed
of its champions. They were met by
a better team, but the pupils of Coach
Pipal played a great game, nor did
they cease to give their best until the
whistle blew for the end of the battle.
Nebraska's Teamwork
Nebraska's teamwork was the out
standing feature of the game. Work
DEAN LEWIS SPEAKS
FORM. HUGHES
PENNSYLVANIA LAW SCHOOL
DEAN HERE SATURDAY
Only 18 Heard Him Talk Declares
Wilson Lacks Courage to Take
. Definite Stand
Before an audie'hce of eighteen, Wil
liam Draper Lewis, dean of the law
college of the University of Pennsyl
vania, and a prominent progressive,
urged the election of Charles E.
Hughes to the presidency of the Unit
ed States. Dean Lewis spoke under
Hie auspices of the University
Hughes and Fairbanks club, at the
Temple Saturday night.
Dean Lewis declared bis conviction
to be that Mr. Wilson lacked the one
thing required of an executive, the
courage to face a difficult situation.
The president is marked by his Ina
bility to face a situation requiring pos
itive executive action, Dean Lewis de
clared. He supported bis view with citations
from the president's course with Mex
ico, and the Lusltania affair. Speak
ing of the latter. Dean Lewis said
that the German ambassador was
placed here for the purpose of inform
ing the German government of the
character of the man at the head of
the United States. He must have told
his superiors that Mr. J.'ilson was not
the'kind of a man whtr meant what he
said. Dean Lewis asserted.
Questions for Lewis
At the close of bis talk, which was
delivered informally to the audience.
Dean Lewis Invited questions. Then
several of his auditors propounded to
bim the things suggested In Lincoln
by two other members of the progres
ive party, who bad been here to urge
the election of Mr. Wilson.
Dean Lewis was asked to explain
Mr. Hughes' vote on the two-cent rail
road rate bllL of the equal pay for
equal time for women bill, of bis op-
ing shoulder to shoulder with the pre
cision of a machine, swinging together
in interference for the runner with the
ball, closing in to meet and check the
advance of their opponents, Coach
Stewart's team played as men fighting
for as well as with each other.
And yet there were stars. Captain
Tim Corey, playing in a strange posi
tion, delivered the goods as he had
never done before. And he it was
who, by his sure and steady toe, made
the victory certain. Corey kicked
both goals after touchdown, and in
the final period of play booted a field
goal from placement from the thirty
yard line that assured the victory
should another fluke give the Aggies
an opportunity to make a second
touchdown.
Lorin Caley, the smallest man in
the backfield, was a star. Squirming
his way through and around the oppo
sition, he made both of the Cornhusk
er touchdowns and had actually cross
ed the goal for a third, only to let the
ball slip out of his grasp. Caley's
fumble was costly for Conn, the Aggie
fullback, snatched up the pigskin and
ran the entire length of the field for
the only Oregon score. Caley's splen
did play was marred again near the
end of the game, when he fumbled a
punt in the middle of the field, and an
opponent snatched it up for a race to
! the Nebraska line. Caley pursued and
down him perilously near the goal,
but the Nebraska line proved equal to
the emergency, held for downs, and
the ball was punted out of danger.

A Welcome For The Team When
It Returns
After having traveled half way across the continent, and out on an
unknown field before more than six thousand hostile spectators, Ne
braska's football team beat the Oregon agricultural college Saturday
afternoon. They played their game, and played it well.
The benefit that the University of Nebraska will reap from the
trip will be great in many respects. It has put the school on the map,
permanently. The trip and the game has been watched by thousands
all over the country.
The'team has won a splendid victory, and deserves a victor's wel
come. Cannot every loyal Nebraskan join in welcoming the team and
the band when they return?
The pledge "For Nebraska, we will," was kept. Let us show our
appreciation.

CHANGING PLANS
FOR NEW BUILDINGS
E. B. Jackson, Architect, Consults
with Faculty on Revising Plans
E. B. Jackson, of the firm of Cooi
idge & Hodgdon, University architects.
was in Lincoln Saturday conferring
with the board' of regents, faculty
members and the construction depart-
jment In regard to the plans for the
new Social Science and Teachers' Col
lege high school buildings.
Plans originally submitted by the
architects called for more money than
the legislative appropriation. Both of
the proposed buildings must bo cut
down so that they will come within
the appropriation. Mr. Jackson dis
cussed advisable changes, and talked
to members of the departments which
will be boused in the new building, in
the interests of reducing the size and
cost.
From the Social Science building it
has already been necessary to cut out
two of the departments, philosophy
and rhetoric. These will probably find
new quarters in an Arts hall, to come
later.

SIGMA GHI WILL
KEEP ITS CHARTER
DEAN ENGBERG WIRES NATIONAL
OFFICERS NOT TO COME
Is Convinced Chapter Has Right Men
Enrolled Some Students
Suspended
Believing that the present personnel
of Nebraska chapter if Sigma Chi was
not sufficiently involved in recent
troubles with civil authorities to war
rant the taking of drastic action. Dean
Carl C. Engberg w ired the national of
ficers of the fraternity Saturdaw,
recommending to them that no further
action be taken.
The decision ofUie executive dean
means that the local chapter will not
lose its chapter, as was feared for a
time.
When first notified of the situation,
Dean Engberg considered sending for
representatives of the national organ
ization, which had threatened two
years ago, upon. the occasion of an
other unpleasant occurrence in the lo
cal chapter, to remove its charter in
the event of any further trouble. In
vestigation showed the dean, how
ever, that the present members of the
fraternity were not responsible for tne
recent thefts, and that none of the old
members who had become Involved in
the first difficulty were in school.
Those connected with the recent
trouble were suspended from school.
One of them, the dean said, was not
a member of the fraternity, and others
were not registered in school at the
present time.
A Different Sort
The present members of Sigma Chi
are a different sort altogether, accord
ing to Dean Engberg, and do not de
serve to suffer for the acts of others
who are now no longer In the Uni
versity. Those who deserved punish
ment had it meted out to them, and
with this action the present trouble
is at an end.
The telegram sent by Dean Engberg
to the national officers follows:
"Wrote yesterday to Mr. Miller con
cerning Sigma Chi situation. When
the boys learned this they told me
everything. The six men responsible
for misdeeds mentioned are no longer
connected wlh the University. As
those remain- are an entirely new
set I recommend that nothing further
be done."
