WILL BE GIVEN N LATTER PART
OF FEBRUARY THIS YEAR.
ANNOUNCE CAST TOMORROW
Play Written by Northrup and Music
Composed by Scott First Re
hearsal This Evening at
Temple.
The Kosroet Club cast had their
first meeting Tuesday night and 'Will
have thtet first real rehearsal this even
ing at the Temple. The date of the
play is "February 18, 1915. The cast
includes fourteen principal parts and
a chorus consisting of about forty
members. Clifford Scott composed the
music and Ralph Northrup wrote the
play. Prof. R. D. Scott is a co-author
and advteor.
The scene Is laid at Nebraska Uni
versity and is profuse with local color,
successfully working in football and
other college activities. It is built
around the life of the fair co-ed at
Nebraska and the characters! are
drawn from actual life at the Univer
sity. The music was played over for
a chosen few at the Temple Tuesday
evening and they were loud in its
praise. Of course nothing needs be
said about the play itself as the namie
of Northrup is sufficient.
Owing to the fact that so many are
contestants for the different parts this
year the judges have not decided defi
nitely upon several of the parts but a
complete list will be announced in to
morrow's Daily Nebraskan.

LAWS NOW DOCILE.
No Longer the Rough Bunch of the
Past Prominent-Junior Takes
China Painting.
The laws have long been called a
rough-neck and almost vicious bunch,
but the living proof is among us that
such a condition of affairs Is a thing
of the dim past. The fact is now
known definitely that Lloyd Deweese,
a prominent Junior Law, is taking
china painting from one to three leach
afternoon. Lloyd announced yester
day that he was coming along splen
didly tn his work and had had several
compliments from his teacher. He is
to be thanked by all Laws for this
action in changing the opinion people
have of the Law Students.

This is the first year that the Home
Economics department has included
this work in its course. In this way
tha art and designs Is being corre
lated with the work in Home Eco

doing just what schools all over
the country are trying to do, and it Is
hoped that the experiment will prove
as successful as the work already done
seems to promise.
The following announcements con
cerning art exhibitions should be
noted :
Four pictures by Ern6t Roehlk
which have been on display have been
recently removed but will soon be re
placed. Mr. Roehlk is an artist gradu
ated from the Dresden Academy of

tention in St. Louis by his excellent
work.

U. 310.
The Art School has purchased ten
reproductions in color of famous
American paintings to be hung in the

THREE RUNNERS FINISH ABREAST
IN CROSS-COUNTRY TRYOUTS.
WIND MAKES THE TIME SLOW
Captain Goetze, Anderson and Kubik
Finish First, Followed Closely
by Raecke, Ricker and
Kratz.
By H. I. Kyle.
Fourteen men lined up at the corner
of Tenth and T streets at 4 : 30 yester
day, for the cross-country tryout race.
A half hour later the race was over.
First honors must be divided among
Captain Goetze, Kubik and Ralph
Anderson, who swept up to the finish
abreast, like Pharoh's horses. Only a
stride behind1, cam Raecke, whose
game sprint at the finish came near
landing him on a par with the leaders.
Then came Ricker, followed closely
by Kratz and ex-Captain McMasters,
the latter of whom ran the race with
out previous training this year, his
purpose being to inspire and assist
the inexperienced candidates, rather
than to gain honors for himself.
The rest of the squad soon finished,
coming in the following order: Spohn,
Shumaker, Pier, Pascal, Fouts, and
Benz. - None of the runners seemed
particularly distressed by the long
grind. The time was' slow, being about
thirty-one minutes, but the course is
a" very hard one and a strong wind
was faced on the second half of the
trip. It was also apparent that the
leaders had not extended themselves,

being content with a place that would
land them on the varsity. Those who
witnessed the race feel assured that
the team will give a good account of
itself, when it goes into the Missouri
Valley meet at Ames, on November
7th.

TWO RHETORIC MEN BACK
Both Declare That They Had Good
Vacations Waited Until They
Could Return Safely.
Professors Frye and Gass have re
turned from their summer's trip
abroad and will soon have active
charge of their classes. Thoir delayed
return was caused by the war, which
was declared while they were on the
continent. As a matter of personal
safety they deemed it advisable to
wait until tourists received more con
siderate treatment before venturing
to cross the country which has been
the alleged scene of the, reported
cruelties.
In spite of the deplorable conditions,
they enjoyed their vacations.
The Republican Club has issued a
call for volunteer speakers and work
ers for the coming campaign. The
time is short, and all those interested
aria requested to report to J. M. Black
well, '15, at Earl Hall at noon im
mediately. Columbia Spectator.
Washington Homecoming.
The University of Washington holds
its first homecoming celebration on
Thanksgiving day. It is expected that
the homecoming will become an an
nual event.
ALEXANDER GIVES
THIRD WAR LECTURE
Speaks to Large Audience on "War
and Religion" Foreign Leaders
All Earnest in Beliefs.
The third of the European war lec
tures was delivered by Prof. H. B.
Alexander and was entitled "War and
Religion." There was a good sized
crowd out to hear the lecture. In his
talk Prof. Alexander brought out the
religious side as the prevailing ele
ment in this gigantic struggle. He
6howed how true the convictions of
the rulers of Europe are when they
commend their soldiers to God. "The
religion of Europe is a Christian re
ligion," said the professor, "and this
war will bring out the soundness of
her culture and religion. That Chris
tianity in Europ is at thexTribunal
and her fate is doubtful. I believe,"
said he, 'that the aged emperor of
Austria was sincere when he asked
the Pope .to bless his troops, also that
the king of England when he com
mended his troops to God. The em
peror of Germany was no less sincere
when he proclaimed himself to be the
anointed of God; he is just as sincere
In his belief as is any minister of to
day. The Czar of the Russias is on
an equal basis in his belief. Attila
the Hun once called himself the
courage of God, inspired by the same
zeal that inspired these present rulers
of the warring countries. Religion is
the most prevalent in Germany, the
people all having caught the spirit that
held the Kaiser when he defied the
world. The usual conception of re
ligion is that of peace but the wars of
Charlemagne were carried on in the
behalf of religion, so were the Cru
sades, and the wars of the Reforma
tion which were terrible in them
selves." The present outbreak will be the
last in the mind of the professor and
behind it all he sees a new civilization,
culture and a practically new Europe.
The lecture was enjoyed by all pres
ent and was certainly tojbe 'appreci
ated.
PLAY WAS RAGGED
FRESHMEN HAVE MUCH SUCCESS
WITH FORWARD PASS.
CALEY GOES IN FOR POTTER
Gardiner of the Freshman Team,
Makes a Spectacular Sprint
First Year Men Show Ex.
r ceptional Strength.
By H. I. Kyle.
The Cornhuskers of yesterday after
noon only faintly resembled the won
derful aggregation that swept the con
fident Michigan Aggies off their cleats,
last Saturday. There were times when
the resemblance was quite noticeable,
but such times were altogether too
few. The skill and success with wfcich
the Freshmien used the forward pass
in connection with Ames formations,
caused the fans to shake their heads
apprehensively. Passes of from thirty
to forty yards were repeatedly com
pleted by the; irrepressible youngsters.
No headway could be made through
the varsity line, by the Harmon-Hoef-fel
bunch, but they had fairly good
success with end runs, both Gardiner
and Otoupalik getting away several
times, for sprints of twelve or fifteen
yeards around the wings.
The star performance of the game
was made by Gardiner, the former
Omaha High School quarterback, who
returned a kick-off seventy-five yards,
to the; varsity 20 yard line, where he
was forced out of bounds. Gardiner,
Otoupalik and Cook, of the Freshman
backfield, will all be strong contend
ers for a position on the varsity team
next year. The Frosh line is also ex
ceptionally strong, so that, all to
gether, the first year team is one not
to be sneezed at, or at any rate, to be
sneezed at with great caution.
Caley relieved Potter, early in the
performance, and showed much prom
ise of becoming a star quarter. He is
a veritable speed demon at carrying
the ball, besides being able to pass
the ball accurately for forty or fifty
yards. His generalship ability re
mains to be demonstrated.
LAW SCHOOL REVIEW
GIVENJO STUDENTS
Published by West Publishing Com
pany of Chicago Distributed
Free to Law Students.
The fall number of the American
Law School Review, an intercollegiate
law journal, was distributed among
the members of the law school this
week. This review is published every
three months and is presented to all
students in law schools by the publish
ersThe West Publishing Co., of St.
Paul, Minn. It contains articles per
taining to the legal profession by law
yers and by teachers in law schools in
different parts of the country. This
issue contains an article of particular
interest to law students at Nebraska.
It was written by Leslie Childs of
Chandler, InJ., (wherever that is), and
is entitled, "A Law Student's Criticism
of the Case Method." This method is
in use in our law school.
Another item of interest is a table
showing the distribution of lawyers in
the United States. According to this
table Nebraska has 1,448 lawyers or
one to every 843 inhabitants. Of this
number 333 are located in Omaha and
134 in Uncoln.
