The muBlc was furnished by the Lincoln Military band, which managed to give music with enough volume to be heard in all parts of the building, The floor was In excellent condition for dancing and the unanimous sent! ment of those present is that the af fair was a marked success. The dance was under the direct charge of Theodore Metcalf and De wltt Foster. These two University stU' dents first conceived the idea of such an affair and later interested the Lin coin Commercial club in the undertak ing, and to that organization the stu dents are indebted in a large measure for one of the best all-University dances ever held at Nebraska.

Nebraska had little trouble in piling up 31 points against the Kansas Aggies in the second game of the season on Nebraska Field Sat urday afternoon. Twenty-eight points were piled up by the Husker offense during the first period. In the second half of the con test the Aggies stiffened considerably, and a goal from placement by Corey during the last few minutes of play summed up of all of Nebraska's scor ing. The Aggies did not assay advanc ing the ball more than five times dur ing the game. Among their tries, they negotiated some pretty passes and once or twice broke through the Corn grin. Otoupolik showed a modest and most part the Kansans played a defen sive game, and punted almost every time they got the ball. The Aggies' game was helped also by the penalties deserved and other wise Imposed upon the Nebraska line by a gentleman who was hired to ref eree. The form shown by the Nebras ka line in this game caused even the most sombre fan to spring a ten-cent smile and buy a package of peanuts. Caley played the game from the word "go," and conducted his Infantry with such skill and snap that Coach Stiehm smoothed out one of the wrin kles in his forehead and indulged in a husker line for a few yards. For the generous disposition when he consent ed to make only twenty yards to a down. Rutherford played a brutal game, running at top speed and drag ging three or four struggling Ags along the ground every time he took the ball. The Nebraska line has learned its lesson. As soon as the Interference is smoothed out a little better the Cornhuskers will have another all-victorious eleven. In the last half of the game, Cock was substituted for Caley, Reese for i Gardner; Seltzer for Rutherford In the third quarter; Balls for Riddell, Hab ersleben for Moser, Rasmussen for Chamberlain, and Proctor for Reese In the last quarter for Nebraska. For Kansas, McGalHar was substituted for Hartwlg at the end of the first quar ter.
