• Sources: 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.

The Jayhawks held Nebraska to just a second-quarter field goal and used a series of big plays in the third to end Nebraska's 34-game unbeaten streak and 39-game home unbeaten streak. It was Nebraska's second loss in eight seasons at Nebraska Field, both to Kansas.

At Iowa

Notre Dame

• Sources: Notre Dame's 20–0 defeat of Nebraska was the first time NU had been shutout in five seasons. The Irish were led by assistant Knute Rockne, as head coach Jesse Harper could not attend due to an annual coach's meeting in Chicago.
