On the first play Cook bucked tackle, slid into a clear field and ran fifty yards before he was downed. Dobson, Cook and Rhodes covered the remaining thirty yards in three downs with bucks off tackle. The scrubs were given the ball on their twenty-five-yard line and after a few exchanges of punts Munn tried a goal from the forty yard line, which was not much god. But. thinking he was too close, after the varsity had punted, he tried another from the 60 yard mark and missed by one foot. The varsity suddenly took a brace at this point and scored four touch downs in rapid succession. The first came as the result of a seventy-yard buck off tackle by Dobson. It was the best run of the evening. "Dob" sidestepping the entire scrub backfield and then distancing them. Corey Passes A long pass from Corey to Riddell, which made fifty-five yards, brought the next score. Several successful forward passes and line bucks by "Otie" and Dobson counted another.

SECOND BEETHOVEN SYMPHONY PLAYED Several Hundred Hear String Quartet at Convocation Several hundred people gathered in Memorial hall yesterday morning to hear the Second Beethoven Symphony Mrs. Carrie B. Raymond, under whose direction these symphony programs given, played the organ. The others who played were Edward G. Walt, first violin; Ernest Harrison, second vio lin; Wm. T. Quick, viola, and Mrs. Lillian Eiche, the cello. The following interpretation was written by Prof. W. F. Dann: The year 1802 is the date of this composition, and by this time Beet hoven's growing deafness, manifesta tions of which had appeared several years previous, gave him grave anxie ty, and occasioned in him periods of deepest depression. But genius in its highest phases is above mere personal feeling, and the brilliancy and master fulness of this symphony Is notewor thy, especially in view of the distress ing circumstances attending its com position. The prelude opens with a single note fortissimo, as if to call for "sa cred silence"; then a short placid strain, thoughtful but hardly pathetic. Again the single note, and again the quiet phrase. It passes on without de velopment, and the strings climb in trilling cadences to find themselves at the top in a new key and with a new motive. What follows, though put to gether with consummate knowledge and skill, is purposely vague and un certain, the sleeper is yet in dreamy mood; he stirs, but without conscious intent; voices speak, but without defi nite meaning. At last, however, he awakes and a swift rush downward leads directly to the Allegro con Brio. A Sturdy Motive The short, sturdy motive of this part is definite and firm, for the day's activities have begun. The basses first give out the theme, the other instruments take it up, and it swings along briskly till suddenly ap pears the countertheme piano a kind of huater's song, reminiscent of the Wald and the chase with its stirring bugle notes. Then, as usual, the two themes are "worked out," a bit here, a bit there, diverging and varying from the original form as the com poser's fancy may dictate, but never causing the attentive listener to loso the guiding thread, till finally the or iginal themes again appear, this time homeward bound, and the movement comes to an end in big, plunging chords. The LarKhetto that succeeds is one of Beethoven's bestknown and most admired productions. It is as simple and moving as a folk-song, which form, indeed, it much resembles. Its seren ity is in marked contrast to the tu multuous and tragic emotions of his well-known "Will" which he wrote about this time. One passage, to be sure, introduces a kind of dialogue be tween two voices, in which anxious query and stern, unyielding response seem to alternate; but If serious itl 8 not sad, and the movement closes as (Continued to Page Three) STUDENTS WELCOME HOMECOMING HUSKERS IMPROMPTU PARADE AND CELE BRATION RALLY YESTERDAY 1,000 Students Out Captain Corey and Coach Stewart Tell How It Was Done The football team, returning yester day noon from their victorious journey to Portland, was greeted by one of the largest spontaneous demonstra tions in Nebraska football history. Al though there were no definitely ar ranged plans for receiving the, over 1,000 students gathered at the Burling ton station to greet the train upon its arrival, to march behind the team and band don O street, and to overflow the Armory in an impromptu rally which for enthusiasm rivaled the mem orable occasion one week ago when the team was sent on its journey of conquest. The Innocents had arranged a big meeting, but when the team decided to take one more day to the trip it up set arrangements. No word was issued from the office of the executive dean that 1 o'clock classes were to be dis missed yesterday, and plans were somewhat up in the air. Without defi nite guidance, a mob of students col lected at the station and put on an FORM TREASURERS- MANAGERS CLUB PERMANENT ORGANIZATION OF BUSINESS MANAGERS Walter Blunk, President Lesh and Cotter Officers Martin Speaks The Treasurers and Managers club was organized yesterday at a meeting of all the treasurers and managers of school organizations for the purpose of co-operating with the student activi ties office in building a uniform system of accounts and in bringing the finan cial department of each organization under one head.

"Much of the credit for Nebraska's victory belongs to you," he said to the crowd before him. "It was only necessary for me to remind the boys of the thousands at home waiting to hear the first news of victory to put the necessary fight in them." That they did have the fight and the neces sary punch Dr. Stewart admitted, add ing that the game was one of the hard est fought he had seen in years.
