HUSKERS HAVE A LISTLESS CROWD WATCH CORN HUSKERS SWAMP VISITORS WESLEYAN UNABLE TO SCORE Hot Weather Makes the Game Slow Huskers Pile up Total of Thirty Point to None for Wesleyan Johnny Cook generated the Huskers during the first period of the game and showed class 1 form in running back punts and driving his team. "Mike" Seltzer filled tlie mighty Husker's cap tain's shoes at left half and busted through for substantial gains when ever called upon. Wesleyan held the Huskers for downs several times, but the playing was slow and they were unable to break away on offensive plays. Corey punted 65 yards on a kickoff for a touchback and it was said that the ball went over the crossbar, but the au thority is doubtful and we wish to warn our readers against believing that "Tim" has" that much power. With Dr. Maxey, in his new fall hat occupying a prominent seat in the south bleachers, and a bright sun soak ing them in the back of the neck, the Huskers plowed their way through the Wesleyan Coyotes for a score of 30 to the visitors' 0, Saturday afternoon A listless crowd of rooters on the south bleachers swapped jokes and ate peanuts while a noisy gentleman led the Wesleyan rooting in the north grandstand,' and threatened to bring their basketball team down as soon as winter Bets in and show the Corn huskers up.

PLAYWRITER IS IN LIMELIGHT Nebraska Graduate . Gains National Recognition Tickets Sold Eight Weeks in Advance Fredderick Ballard, '07, another Ne braska graduate who has made good in his work, to the extent of gaining national recognition and who wrote "Believe Me, Xantippe," to be played by the Dramatic club November 19, is pictured in the current issue of the Theatre. He is the author of "Young America," now running at the Gayety in New York, and it may be said to his credit that tickets are be ing sold eight weeks in advance. Mr. Ballard was born in Lincoln, and obtained much of his education here. It was his . earliest ambition to be a playwright, but he gained the impression from Shakespere's works that all drama was written in blank verse. When, however, he had learned from studying Ibsen that they may be prose also he took courage, and after spending two years as a Droperty man in Chicago, a ranchman and other occupations, from which he gained many life experiences, he went to Harvard and took a course In play writing. While there he won the John Craig prize with his play, "Be lieve Me, Xantippe." a bright little comedy of western life. This play will be staged by the University School of Drama on No vember 19. a famous Nebraska play wright's drama played by Nebraska players. A capable cast has been chosen and is being trained by Miss Alice Howell. KANSAS TICKETS Alumni Headqarters Get your seats now SCOTTISH FOLK SONGS PLEASED WRITE-UP DELAYED THROUGH AN OVERSIGHT DREW VERY LARGE AUDIENCE Hope Expressed that Such Programs Will Be Continued Dr. Hyde, Miss Kirkwood and Mr. Young Interpreted Folk-Songs Through an oversight, the write-up of last Thursday's convocation was omitted. The Daily Nebraskan stands corrected. The Public was greatly pleased with the Scottish folk-songs at the last con vocation hour. These seem to be the favorite kind of program, and many have expressed their hopes that they will be continued throughout the year. The convocation Thursday attracted almost as many students as a most successful football rally would have done. Dr. Winifred Hyde, Miss Kirkwood and Mr. Roy Young gave all the en-thusiasm-and movement characteristic of the Scottish folk-sogns. Mrs. Carrie B. Raymond's full and well trained chorus rendered the othei numbers. HEAR BURGSTAHLER H. J.

FINANCIAL EXAMINATION MADE State Accountant Makes a Report to to the Governor Declares Sys tem Is Complete In a lengthy report to the gover nor on his examination of the state university finances for six months ending May 31, 1915, State Accountant De France compliments the system of accounting in use at the institution. He declares that it is complete in every respect and provides many checks and tests to guard against errors. One-third of all the money appro priated by the state goes to maintain the university and its branches, Mr. De France says. In the six months' period covered by the report approxi mately three quarters of a million dol lars was expended. Mr. De France believes that the results of this out lay upon the 4,589 students enrolled will be worth tenfold the expenditure. All unic;rsity appropriations for this biennium, the accountant states, will aggregate $3,200,000. Cash fund col lections during the six months have amounted to $115,499.
