Mr Stiehm and his pupils were seen
wending their way toward the M
street park yesterday afternoon and
those who are ahle to judge are of the
opinion that they reached that place
in safety.
During their sojourn in the park
they engaged in a very enthusiastic
signal practice after which the scrubs
held down the side lines while the rest
scrimmaged around over the field to
the delight of seven spectators. Our
reporter had to play a game of pool
and consequently was not an eye wit
ness of the afternoon's practice but
an extract from a conversation held
with Coach Stiehm may give the
reader an idea of the Huskers stack
up. The reporter opened the conversa
tion by taking his finger out of his
mouth, wiping it on his coat sleeve
and saying:
Mr. Stiehm, er a weli what was
the practice like this afternoon?"'

YOUNG UNIVERSITY GRADUATE
PASSED AWAY SUNDAY
PROMINENT IN UNIVERSITY
Wrote Kosmet Klub Lyrics Member
of Many Organizations His Fra
ternity Brothers Will Attend
Funeral Together
Word was received in Lincoln Sun
day of the death of Ralph Northrup,
a member of the 1915 graduating class
at the University of Nebraska and a
leader in university activities during
his four years' attendance there. The
news came as a shock to his friends
and acquaintances in Lincoln. His
death, due to kidney trouble, occured
Sunday morning at the home of his
parents, G123 Florence boulevard,
Omaha, after a brief illness. He was
twenty-four years old.
Mr. Northrup entered the university
in the fall of 1910 as a graduate of
South Omaha high school. He became
a member or tne owver iu nam-
nity. cf the Dramatic and Kosmel
clubs. Helmet and Quill. Sigma Delta
Chi, the honorary journalistic frater
nity, and the Innocent society. In his
Sophomore year he was one or tne
originators of the Awgwan, a semi
monthly humorous magazine. He was
the first managing editor of the publi- .
cation and in 1913 became editor-in-
chief.
He was a keen student of the drama
and was regarded as one of the most
promising playwrights the university
ever turned out. He wrote the lyrics
for the 1914 Kosmet Klub production,
"El President," and wrote the entire
production, "The Easy Mark," given
in 1915. He was president of the Kos
met Klub in 1915. He stood for the
higher things in drama and urged the
production by the Dramatic club of
plays of the Ibsen type. He was influ
ential in establishing the school of
drama In the university.
After leaving school he accepted a
reportorial position on the Omaha
World-Herald. At this time he con
fided to a friend that he wished to
start at the very bottom in the game
of journalism, and that no one should
ever hear from him tbat he was a
graduate of a university. After work
ing for the Herald a few weeks he ac
cepted a position as associate editor
of the Excelsior, of which he was vir
tually managing editor at the time of
his death. He also had plans under
way for an Ak-Sar-Ben production.
Those who knew him predicted a bril
liant literary career.
The funeral will be held this after
noon from his home at 6125 Florence
Boulevard. His fraternity brothers i:i
Lincoln will attend in a body.
