GERMAN DRAMATIC
CLUB GIVES PLAY
Will Present "Das Verlorene Paradies"
January 15 Proceeds Will Be
Turned Over to Red Cross
On Friday night, January 15, the
German Dramatic Club will present
"Das Verlorene Paradies," a three-act
comedy y Ludwig Fulda. This Is an
annual event and one eagerly looked
forward to by all lovers of German
literature. No pains are being spared
to make this production even more
successful than those of previous
years. An excellent cast has been
chosen and altogether prospects are
exceedingly bright for a brilliant
event.
The plays given by the German
Dramatic Club are of such a character
as to excite the interest of not only
those who are directly interested in
German, but also all lovers of dra
matic art. This was evidenced by the
large attendance of non-German
speaking people at the plays given in
former years.
The proceeds of the play this year
are to be turned over to the American
Red CrosR, which fact, coupled with
the high class of the production,
makes this an opportunity not to be
passed by.

PLAYED THE SOLDIER TEAM
LAST NIGHT
RESULT OF GAME UNKNOWN
The Editor of This Department Offers,
in Lieu of the Story of the Real
Game, a Story of What It
May Have Been
By H. I. Kyle.
Manager Gay Reed and the Corn
husker squad of basket-shooters left
yesterday for Fort Dodge, Iowa, where
they are being entertained by the Fort
Dodge Soldiers while I am writing this
story. The men who made the trip
are Captain Hawkins, Rutherford,
Hugg, Meyer, Shields, Keifer, R,
Theison, Millikin, and Nelson.
This paper will go to press before
the game is over so that a discussion
of the game is out of the question.
However, that is a small, an insig
nificant handicap to me, realizing as I
do that my first duty is to amuse, and
that plain facts, however commend
able their use in everyday life,
are seldom amusing. - I shall now
proceed to write the story of the game
as it may have been played.
Cornhuskers Swamp Soldiers
Before a crowd of three hundred
spectators, the Nebraska University
basketball team humbled the local .war
rior quintet last night at the Armory.
(I assume that a fort has an armory.)
The playing of both teams was fast
and spectacular throughout the game,
neither side having much advantage
until near the close of the struggle,
when the Collegians, with a furious
burst of speed, forged ahead to vic
tory. Although plainly handicapped at
first by their strange surroundings,
the visitors, as the contest grew hot
ter, displayed flashes of team-work
that dazzled their opponents and left
the spectators breathless. The sol
diers fought a hard, consitent battle,
as becomes the upholders of the honor
of Uncle Sam, but the odds were too
great against them, and they went
down to honorable defeat. They were
allowed by their magnanimous con- -querors
to keep their weapons.
The. final score was: .Nebraska 31,
Soldiers 20.
Tomorrow the story of the game as
it WAS played will appear in this
column.
