Part In Second Performance
Other Player
"Believe Me, Xantippe,' was pre
sented successfully by the University
School of Dramatics before a large
audience in the Temple last Friday
night They repeated It for the bene
fit of the alumni and other visitors
Saturday night
The leading roles were played by
Maurice Clark, '17, as George McFar
land, and Ella Williams, '15, as Dolly
Kamman. the sheriffs daughter. Their
talent is well known to the students
of the University, and much was ex
pected of them.- "Simp" Calloway,
the bad man, was impersonated by
DeWitt Foster, '18, who has appeared
a number of times previous to this in
University dramatics. The character
of Violet "Simp's" sweetheart, was
interpreted skillfully by Ruth Hen
niger, '18, who, after an absence of
several years, has again taken up an
active interest in the dramatic de
partment Niel Brown, 14, showed
much ability as "Buck Kamman,' the
sheriff. Leon Snyder, '15, Ladelans
Kubik, '17, Harold Campbell, 16, and
Camille Leyda, '16, are all familiar
to the students and did full justice
to the parts assigned. -
Not only was the work of the Indi
vidual players unusual, but the cast
as a whdle worked together to pro
duce a play quite to excel the average
amateur production.
Especial credit is due Carolyn Kim
ball, '18, who took the part of Aunt
Martha for the second performance at
only a few hours' notice.

Fair to Become an Annual Event
Many Attend
A large number of representative
students attended the Kappa Alpha
Theta open bouse after the football
game Saturday. This Is the second
of such events, which the Thetas have

held open bouse at a similar time.
The purpose of such an open house
s to promote good spirit and afford
the other students and opportunity
to get acquainted with the hostesses.

RECEIVES Ml IMITATION BILL
Mr. Sheldon Gets What Appears to Be
a (500 Note Is a Political
Advertisement
Mr. S. P. Hughes, of Howell, has
sent to Director A. E. Sheldon of the
Legislative Reference Bureau, a paper
which appears to be a $500 note on
the Bank of Nebraska, but upon a
closer examination it proves to be a
political hand-bill. The legend upon
it Is "Bank of Nebraska will pay on
demand at the Slave Pen in Washing
ton, $500 for every white or black
slave delivered in Nebraska.
"(Signed)
"STEVE A. DOUBLELASH,
Gen. Purse."
One side of the bill has caricature
of Douglas smoking a large cigar with
a glass of whisky in his hand and
on the other side is a caricature of
President Franklin Pierce. The vig
nette In the center represents an enor
mous owl holding a streamer In its
beak on which are the words: "Ne
braskaLand of Liberty."
The bill was apparently used by
either the Republicans or the Anti-
Douglas Democrats In the presidential
campaign of 1860 and is the first paper
of the sort ever brought to attention
in Nebraska.
New York. Nov. 21. Phillip J

GUY CHAMBERLAIN,
' IS PEERLESS END
THE CORNHUSKERS GREAT 1915
GROUND GAINER
IS UNEQUALED IN THE WEST
Chamberlain Responsible Largely for
the Third All-Victorious Season
of Huskers Ground Gain
ing Ability Respected
He never has made a gain of over
100 yards on a football field doubt
less, while the present rules hold
good he never will but he has made
every kind of a gain under that His
name is Guy Chamberlain; he weighs
194 pounds, and he uses up ten sec
onds of time in traveling ten times
that many yards.
During the last week of September
and the first week of October, Nebras
ka University was one big question
mark. And the question was "Will
'Mother' Abbott and Guy Chamberlain
be back this year?" Abbott answered
in part by pulling in one day and
skinning on his war togs, but Cham
berlain stayed on the farm till at last
one day when everyone else had
given him up, the tall Husker coach
turned his rookies over to his assist
ants and went out to see the young
agriculturist.
No one knows, except these two,
what the big chief said that day, but
result is seen in the defeat of Notre
Dame and the tremendous walloping
of Kansas and Iowa by the Huskers.
Notre Dame had hope of a victory
until Chamberlain exploded their
hopes with one beautifully executed
zig-zag run; Kansas hoped to hold the
Huskers to a low score. Ten thou
sand Kansans collected to see them
do it They had neglected-to figure
on the mightly left end the Huskers
were using for a pinch hitter. Then
Guy Chamberlain
the Hawkeyes came and tried to stop
him. but he refused to be stopped-
Gur Chamberlain plays football with
an ease which smacks of perfection.
His opponents know when he Is going
to carry the balL He makes no secret
of It Standing well back of the line,
he looks coolly over the field, at his
own team and at his opponents. He
Ukes the balL tucks It carefully un
der his left arm and starts swiftly

Meet Staged for Today
The remaining events of the inter
class track meet, which was begun
about two weeks ago, will take place
this afternoon on the Athletic field,
along with the Senior-Junior football
game. The events to be pulled off
are the pole vault, high Jump, low hur
dles and relay race.
Track athletes have given over out
door work lately on account of the
chilly weather, and they will continue
their work indoors during the winter.
Hold Regimental Review
The second regimental review of the
year was held last evening on the
Athletic' field. The companies showed
considerable improvement in marching
since the parade of last week. In the
first review, Company E maintained
the best line, and in the second Com
pany G was best.
Students Went to Church
All-University church day was ob
served in Lincoln Sunday. Efforts
to get out the University students met
with good results. Most of the pastors
reported that the number of students
at he morning services was noticeably
larger than usual, and that the num
ber at the evening services was espe
cially large.
Phi Gamma Delta entertained at a
house party Friday evening. The
alumni who attended were Clyde Tun-
berg, Tekamah; S .F. Holmes, Kansas
City; Gam Orin, Council Bluffs; R, T
Burdick, Herman, ant. Alan Dudley,
Omaha. Dr. R. T. Adams and Mr
and Mrs. Don Bell were chaperones.
THE THANKSGIVING PROGRAM
Annual Program at 11 O'Clock Gov
ernor Morehead to Speak Uni
versity Chorus Will Sing
The annual Thanksgiving program
will be given at Convocation this
morning, at which time Governor J.
H. Morehead will speak and the Uni
versity Chorus will sing "Te Deum"
by Dudley Buck.
It has been the custom for a num
ber of years to have a special program
Just before the Thanksgiving vaca
tion, and those in charge feel that
this year they have been especially
fortunate in securing such excellent
numbers.
George L. Sheldon, '92, former gov
ernor of Nebraska and now a planta
tion owner at Wayside, Miss., arrived
in Lincoln Sunday and will remain
over Thanksgiving day with friends.
Each time he returns to Lincoln his
friends remark that he looks more
and more like the southern plantation
owner of old times. He is now as
brown as a nut and that aded to his
broad hat and his broad stride, Is more
than enough to attract attention.
While admitting that he still takes a
lot of Interest In politics, Mr. Sheldon
declined last evening to comment on
any of the things that are uppermost
in the minds of Nebraska statesmen.
Not even the Nebraska attempt to
draw Justice Hughes into the presi
dential race was sufficient to elicit a
word from the ex-governor.
The 8IIver Lynx fraternity enter
tained Saturday evening at a dance at
the Commercial club. The following
were chaperones: Prof, and Mrs. G. W.
Rood, Prof. Gorman and Walter Rog
ers. Among the alumni members of
th fraternity were Robert Finley,
William Baumann. Richard Lyman
and James McLafferty, of Omaha.
