t'1'his will be seen in the Chicago American next fall.j AGO ANIERICAN, CHICAGO, SUNDAY, NOV. 27, 1904 NEBRASKA BREAKS lNTO FAST FO0TBALL GUMPANY. BIG NINE YIELDS. Western Football Managers Discuss Bryan and Fusion Party in Nebraska Edgar Davis, football manager for the Cornhuskers, and his assistant manager, J. K. Morrison, were in the city yesterday to attend the Big Nine conference. They were gratified at se- curing dates with Michigan, Minne- sota, Wisconsin, and Illinois. Both be- ing affable gentlemen and typically representative .of western college men, they attracted much attention in the corridors and rotunda of the Grand Pacific. They have the healthy, bronzed color that comes from horse- back riding on the plains, and their gait has that peculiar jerk step that is the infallible sign of a life spent in the saddle. They say that the Indians rarely disturb the settlers since the consum- mation of Senator Dietrich's treaty with them at Hastings, a flourishing trading post in the sand-hills, and hitherto liable to raids by the pred- atory Sioux. The people of the state idolize Sen- ator Dietrich for his success in that treaty, whereby the Indians, in con- sideration of four barrels of whisky, gave to the senator their ponies and guns, and all but one day's rations. They have been so poor since that they are too busy rustling a living to bother the whites. Some of the senator's garrulous enemies objected to his selling the ponies and guns on his private account, but the new daily paper at Lincoln started by D. E. Thompson, a leading Y. M. C. A. worker of the West, speedily vindi- cated the senator. Neither of the Nebraska college men seems afflicted with those striking idiosyncracies that so readily single out their eastern brethren. Their sim- plicity in manner and dress comported well with the quietness of their speech and demeanor. Their true western blood asserted itself when they or- dered horses and started for a horse- back ride. The crowd that had gath- ered to watch them mount cheered lustily for the open-hearted western- ers as they rode away. Their western manner of sitting in the saddle occa- sioned much comment. Donohue, the famous turfman, in speaking of the firm seat they maintained, said that was what enabled the cowboys to ride enormous distances with little fatigue. A considerable crowd was at the train to see the Westerners depart last evening. Mr. Morrison stated that in his opinion the populist party was practically dead, and that most of its personnel would hereafter vote the prohibition ticket. He also praised the efforts of the World-Herald, a pa- per published at Omaha, for its hearty cooperation with Chancellor Andrews to raise the requisite amount to meet the conditions of Rockefeller's gift to the college, of a new building, devoted exclusively to research work along the lines of Chancellor Andrews' theory respecting the cremation of helpless infants. Mr. Davis also discussed quite freely the political conditions. He said that he himself, and in fact most of the leading democrats of the state, voted for Roosevelt in preference to Cleve- land and that the next legislature would send Mr. Bryan to the U. S. Senate, the democrats and republicans combining to defeat ex-Governor Mickey, the candidateof the popu- lists, prohibitionists, and socialists. Mr. Davis gave little credence to the rumor that Arizona university was en- deavoring to take Andrews from Ne- braska. In case Nebraska lost An- drews, Mr. Davis thought the chancellorship would go to either Coach Booth or Harry Shedd, the chances being in favor of the latter, he having had more experience with frontier life. 122
