At Oregon Agricultural [ edit ] Nebraska traveled by train through Seattle and Spokane , making frequent publicity stops on the way to Portland to face head coach E. J. Stewart's former team. The university's annual yearbook predicted this would be the last time Nebraska's football team traveled so far from home. The Cornhuskers' 17–7 win gave the program its first West-Coast victory.
