DRAMATIC CURTAIN
WILL DROP TONIGHT
"ALIAS JIMMY VALENTINE" WILL
CLOSE YEAR'S WORK
With Original Successful Cast and
Good Ticket Safe, Farewell Pro
duction Should Be Memorable
Final rehearsals and a good ticket
sale have made the presentation of
"Alias Jimmy Valentine" tonight an
assured success, according to the
management.
The popularity of the members of
the cast In University dramatic
circles and the knowledge that It is
the last time many of them will ap
pear in college performances has
added to the interest and made the
production a real farewell to the
players from the University and to
the University from many of the
players.
Clark and Miss Schavland Lead
Maurice Clark, who has built the
leading character part into a likable,
life-like man trying to make good
under the most trying circumstances,
and Louise Schavland as the girl for
whom all the efforts to lead a straight
life are made and who recognizes no
drawbacks for a man of real worth,
are both artists with the work and
will undoubtedly win much favorable
comment.
Spray Gardner and Howard Wilson
leave shortly and their appearance
tonight will be a farewell production
for them. Both have worked In these
parts through nine performances and
will give an interpretation of the
detective Doyle and the warden that
will rank high as character work from
the opening lines of the show.
Played in Temple
The play is presented in the Temple
theatre in an effort to conform with
the general idea in the country now
of economy and is approved in this
by the executive officers of the school
The price has been made the same
for all tickets and is as low as a
royalty play can be put on for.
Tickets are being sold on the campus
and at the College Book Store. The
management is making a point of the

ONLY 12 MAKE TRIP TO MINNE

Minnesota Will Have 20 to 30 Points
Advantage From Huiker Lack
of Entries
When the Cornhusker track team
leaves for Minneapolis tonight it will
be minus the services of several of
the men who made the trip to Ames.

taken and it is probable that there
will not be that many.
Edson Shaw, who holds the Ne
braska shot put record, will be mis
sing from the lineup as will Spencer
Flint, high and broad Jumper and
hurdler. No pole vaulter nor hammer
thrower will be taken along. All
these missing men will give the
Gophers a lead of anywhere from 20
to 30 points which they will not have
to work for at all.
Gophers Have Class
Minnesota has some very good men
in the races as well as in the -field
events. They held a inter-department
track meet last Saturday and made a
good many records that surpassed
those Nebraska has hung up in the
same events. Many of the men who
were on the team that drubbed the
Cornhuskers so hard' last year will
compete Saturday.
Following is a list of the men who
will go and the events they will take
part in: Overman, mile; Grau, half
mile; Graf, 2-mile; Werner, 100, 220,
high and broad jumps; Owen, 100,
440 and mile relay; Fuchs, 440 and
mile relay; Finney, high and low
hurdles; Reese, shot and discus; Rld
dell, Javelin; Townsend, mite relay;
Jackson, mile relay. Bryans will
probably be taken for relief man.
fact that practically nothing in the
social line is planned for the week

clever play well produced will find
this the chief item of amusement in
the University calendar for the
month.

Captain Parker Believes Some Will
Come Today 28 Pass Examina
tions Yesterday
Up to a late hour last night Captain
Parker had not been advised of any
orders reaching University men to re
port to Fort Snelling. He said, how
ever, that he was confident the first
notifications will reach a number of
Btudents today and that It is very prob
able that many would come by tele
graph because of the short time in
which the men have to report.
The men who reside nearest to Fort
Snelling will receive ' their notices
first, Captain Parker believes, but all
of the rest will be notified In time to
reach camp by May 14. All of the
applications will be arranged accord
ing to the grade and the highest
graded will be called irrespective of
the distance from the fort.
28 Qualify Yesterday
Twenty-eight candidates were found
physically and mentally fit as a result
of the examinations yesterday, mak
ing an even 500 who have been passed
up to the present time. Sixty-seven
are yet to be examined and 94 hare
been disqualified in the examinations.
About 120 applicants have been ac
cepted at Omaha, according to Cap
tain Parker, anl 30 at Kearney and
perhaps 50 at other points over the
state, making a total of some 800 can
didates accepted over the state.
Nebraska will be allowed nearly 415
places in the training camp as her
share of the 2,500 apportions to the
five states, Minnesota, North and
South Dakota, Iowa and Nebraska, in
the opinion of army officers here.
More than 200,000 men, five times
as many as can be accommodated,
have applied for admission to the six
teen officers' training camps which
opened yesterday to begin developing
the men who will lead new American
armies to be raised within the next
four months. About 60,000 have been
certified as qualified for admission,
and from these 40,000 will be selected
and placed under intensive instruc
tion within the next ten days.
