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.

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.

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.
Commercial Seminar Met
The Commercial Seminar met Fri
day night, when Prof. G. O. Virtue
gave a review of Norman Angell's
theories of pessimism as shown in
his book, "The Great Illusion."
Miss Libbie Breuer, graduate col
lege, and Miss Hedne Provaznik, '16,
