Comment on Playera
The Temple theatre was crowded to
its capacity Friday night, when the
German Dramatic club presented Sud
er mann's "Das Glueck im Winkel."
That the large audience enjoyed the
play immensely was shown by the
tact that they responded with unusual
The roles were exceptionally well
taken. Miss Magdalene Craft, who
tiinved the cart of Elizabeth, was es
pecially well adapted to her part, be
cause of her unusual ability to por
trv emotion.
Aiel Swenson, who took the part of
Roecknitz, received a great deal of
favorable comment. In this play, he
had great opportunity to display his
characteristic versatility.
Gerhard Naber in the role of Wiede
mann deserves much praise. His was
a serious part, a id he played it with
great precision and ease.
Anna Luckey, as Helene, the blind
girl; Hermine Hatfield, as Bettlna,
Roeckntiz's wife; Frederick Rabe, as
Daugel, assistant teacher, and Robert
Nesbit, as Doctor Orb, all displayed
unusual fitness for their respective
roles. The minor parts were taken
by Christine Hansen, Sallie Will
iams, Walter Hoppe and Wilhelm
Rabe.
Prof. Amanda Heppner, under whose
capable supervision the play was giv
en, deserves much credit for the re
markable success of the play. To her

tation which the Nebraska German
Dramatic club enjoys among the uni
versities of the United States.

Schmidt and Alma Warner, which
were heartlv aDnlauded.
Saturday evening, the German club
gave their annual banquet at the Lin

CHANCELLORIES OPINIONS
"What Lincoln Needs Most" Was His
Text Speaks in Commendation
of Lincoln
The following, by Chancellor Sam

A representative of the News has

asked me "what Lincoln neeas most..
tta hnn not informed me, however, as
tn whether that refers to things tem
poral or things spiritual. In fancy he
wan not entirelv clear in his own mina,
fnr it he had referred to temporal
things he would have inquired of some
of our strong business men, ana u io
onirHiiftl thines he would have asKea
some of our eminent clergy. I am in
clined to think that possibly he had in
mind something in the "twliignt zone
between them.
In this field then I have no hesita
nt in uavlnir that Lincoln, like all
tw He of the rreat middle west,
and perhaps relatively less than most
other cities, needs more cuimre mm

I name these needs of Lincoln, not
in criticism but in commendation. If
I were writing of some other place I
would say that such suggestions are
hopeless. I mention these as needs of
Lincoln, because Lincoln, more than
any other place that I know of in the
middle west, seems likely to attain
them.

In the matter of Coach Stiehm's
salary. Chancellor Avery,
speaking
for the board of regents had the fol
lowing to say:
DR. E. J. STEWART
Nebraska's New Coach
"Inasmuch as the Athletic board had
come to an agreement with Stiehm,
namely, to pay him full salary to Sep
tember 1, minus $300, deducted for
spring football coaching, the board
thought it unwise to disturb the
agreement, so it was confirmed."
The Athletic board's recommenda
tions to employ "Dick" Rutherford
at a salary of $2,500 and to increase
the salary of Guy Reed to $2,000 were
ratified by the Board of Regents.
The Athletic board's recommenda
tions of Dr. E. J. Stewart as director
of athletics was approved. Half of
rw.f, Stewart's $3,000 salary will be
paid by the University, and half by
the Athletic board.

BASKETBALL TOURHEYIS NEAR
Arrangements Are Taking Shape for
the Annual High School Affair-
Guy Reed in Charge
The Annual State Basketball Tour
nament will be held March 8, 9, 10
and 11. The number of schools repre
sented by teams in last year's tourna
ment was sixty-nine, and the Nebras
ka tournament last year was the larg
est in the United States. Thus far,
this year, eighty schools have applied
to Assistant Director of Athletics Guy
Reed for entrance. Of this num
ber. forty-three are schools that did
not enter last year, while thirty-four
of last year's entries have not yet
reported, and as they will probably
enter.the total number is expected to
exceed a hundred.
The teams will be classified as
usual, according to their record for
the season, the size of the' town, the
experience of the men on the team
in Drevious tournaments. Last year,
three clases were provided, A, B and
but this year a new class D will
probably be added, which will include
unaccredited schools of less man
twelve grades. The teams are divided
into classes in this manner, so that
each team will be in a class of some
what equal ability and experience
Also no team will play more than six
games.
The tournament will be held
usual in the Chapel, Gymnasium,
M. C. A. and City auditorium.

JAYHAWK'S FORWARDS FAST
Friday's Game Was Close and Hard,

Early in Saturday's Battle
and Never Loat It
The Cornausker basketball team
Bent the Jayhawker five home with a
double defeat, when, they scored 35 to
Kansas' 34 points, Friday night, and 40
to 27 Saturday night.
The same Friday was fast and well
played and the Cornhuskers were only
able to demonstrate their superiority
by a single point.
Saturday night, however, the Ne
braska ball tossers gained a substan
tial lead early in the last half of the
game and piled up the score at ease
for the remainder of the game. The
Jayhwaker forwards showed skill in
twirling the ball through the hoop.
which kept the Husker guards on
their toes Friday night, but on enter
ing the game Saturday night the Husk
ers benefited by the experience of the
night before and held their wily oih
ponents to long, chance 'shots.
The Nebraska teamwork was work
ed out better in these two games than
in the game with Wesleyan, January
8, the plays being well worked out.
The game Saturday night was fast,
but Nebraska led 14 to 13 at the end
of the first half and the game was
the Huskers from the beginning of
the last half of play.

played so far stands, three victories.
