CourBe Over Hard Road.
The physical condition of the men
and the hard road of the course are
held to account for the showing of the
team, A portion of the way led over a
atrotcb of broken concrete and brick
pavement, and all the visiting teams
were surprised at the condition of the
course
The meet waa witnessed by n small
crowd, and a freshman-junior football
game and track meet held the atten
tlon of the audience more than the
cross-country. However, the team re
turned to Lincoln well satlBfled with
the treatment given them They were
taken over the course In an automobile
in the morning, and were accorded a
friendly reception during all the stay
American Public Created Desire for
Poor Plays, and Mr. Coburn Com
pares Our Acting with Others.
That the middle west will bring a
revolution in the theater for a good
class of playfl, for It has not an eye
on Europe, wns one of the remarks
Mr. Coburn of the Coburn Players
made at yesterday mornlng'B convo
cation In the courae of his talk he
showed that the principal thing that
was needed in this country waa a na
tional theater. To Bhow what other
countries were doing In thlB time, he
, cited the national theaters of the
Greeks, French, and OermaiiB In
these countries he said the stage was
considered as a place of Instruction,
where political Issues nnd things of
Interest of the day were presented
These theaters are under the control
of the government, and threfore plays
could not be produced if not of drama
tc( hniriue
He i--i id that ;it the present day the
drama in Kiu;laiid is at its lowest ebb.
for there the theater is for social pur
poses only France is the country
whose national theaters are the most
successful, and they are all self-sup
porting
Hut it Is In America that the stand
ard is the poorest Here, he said, it is
considered only as a place of amuse
ment and not of instruction In the
newspapers criticism of plays, moving
picture notices and vaudeville all come
under the headline of amusements
People go to the theater In this conn
try mostly to see a sensational play or
a notorious person in the pla, so a
low. ideal is created among the public
I which the managers cater to
I "You can't act above the Intelligence
jof the audience," said Mr Coburn, "for j
the audience teaches the actor how to j
I act, and as you judge a man by the .
books he reads so you can judge him
by the plays he attends. L. V. II .
