COMEDY BY DRAMATIC
CLUB SCORES HIT
"Les FoUles" Bringi Down
Crowded House at Saturday
Night Presentation
Lea Follies, a musical vaudeville
show written by the dramatic club,
was presented to a "sold out" house
at the Temple theatie Saturday eve
ning. The play was given as If It were
a rehearsal of a real show, a take off
that convulsed the audience from
start to finish.
The scene shifting was done before
the audience, carrying out the Idea
mentioned In an Introductory state
ment of the stage manager. Herman
Thomas, that "the Bhow was merely
a rehearsal." This clever Idea i
maintained throughout the entire en
tertainment giving a delightfully Infor
mal touch.
Herman Thomas strode about with
a very businesslike air which he
doffed from time to time as he salut
ed his friends in the audience. Irving
Clark gave a good monologue concern
ing the rest of the show and various
individuals. He closed with a paliietlc
story of a weunded American soioier
in France.
Monsieur La Poudre and his
printempa mademoiselles made the
hit of the evening. Melba Bradshaw,
in a male Impersonation and Herbert
Yenne assisted by Mr. Goodbroao aa
Harry eKlly in extremely decollete
feminine apparel executed some
graceful dances. Yenne, as the vamp,
was very expert in his management
of the part and kept the audience In
paroxysms of merriment One dance
was rendered very effective by repeat
ed blinking of the footlights through
out the dance.
Strode and Johnson Lead
Josephine Strode and Glen Johnson
played the leading roles with good af
fect and presentation. Alfred Reese
and Larry Raugh played important
minor parts.
"The man upstairs" played by
Genevieve Addleman, Walter Herbert
and Carlisle Jones, was an ingenious
and well done little bit of acting wnicn
kept the audience in a fever pf anxiety
as to what vras coming next Herman
Schroeder in a very amusing black
face act followed this.
A bewitching bevy of chorus girls
captivated everyone with their songs
and dancing: Olive Media, Flavia
Waters, Thelma Detweiler, Isabel
Pearsall, Lois Melton, Mary Helen Al
lensworth and Rosavere Menaugh.
Les Follies was very successful in
every way and the only regret oi tue
audience was that it was too short
MISS GRANT WILL BE
CONVOCATION SPEAKER
Miss Grant, who has recently re
turned from France, will speak at con
vocation Tuesday morning in Memor
ial hall of her experiences and types
of service in France of which little
lias ever been printed.
Miss Grant was for eight months
regional director of decorations for
the Le Mans district. Her work of
decorating Y. M. C. A. huts and mak
ing things livable for the soldiers was
deemed so important that she was
given a carnion ette and a driver by the
army. It is in honor of her driver
that Miss Grant wears the insignia of
the 34th division.
With the help of three men, Miss
Grant managed this work of the Y. M.
C. A. for the district extending fifty
miles around Le Mons. While decor
ating was one very important pait of
her work, there were other things of
a great variety which she did to
cheer the soldiers, those who were
training and fighting and later those
who were waiting to go home.
"Has that young man who ua .
calling on you given you any encour
agement, Bernice?" asked her father.
"Oh, yes. father. Last night he
asked me if you and mother were
pleasant to live with."

LOW SALARIES OF
TEACHERS ENDANGERS
EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM
The nation wide agitation for In
creasing salaries for teachers in all
branches of educational work has
taken but one thing Into considera
tion, namely, the fact that the in
structors are unable to subsist on the
wages they now receive. A promi
nent university authority has pointed
out. however, that there is another
side to the question that receives less
attention, but that is of prime import
ance: the danger to education which
low wages tend to bring about.
He declares that a young man or
even a middle aged man who takes
ui teaching as a profession does so
at his own discretion. He knows that
with the education he has acquired
that he will be able to draw a much
larger salary than that which Is com
plementary to the position of lnstruc-
tor In a modern Institution of learn
ing. Under such conditions it Is his

SI6 EPS AND ATOS
WIN IN FRATERNITY
FOOTBALL SATURDAY
Sigma Phi Epsllon and Alpha Tan
Omega demonstrated their gridiron
supremacy over Sigma Alpha Epsilon
and Beta Theta Pi, respectively, Sat
urday forenoon on Nebraska field in
one of the greatest football classics
ever staged in Lincoln. The Greek
double-header was a football event
that will live long in the memory of
Cornhusker students. It is thought
that each team had at least two men
who had played before and there were
three Sig Eps, and two A. T. O.'s who
knew a drop-kick from a line buck.
The Sig Ep-Sig Alph fray was the
first number on the program and
from the first blast of the whistle a
victory for Sigma Phi Epsilon was
apparent. After advancing the ball to
the Sig Alph two-yard line by every
tactic, gridiron and otherwise, Cres
sell smashed through for the first
touchdown and goal was kicked. Wifl
hart was responsible for the second
counter. He grabbed a Sig Alph
fumble and romped 35 yards to a
touchdown. The attempt at goal failed
and the total score was 13. Neither
team scored in the second half, the
honors being about even. On lookers
thought the game would end in a gen
eral free-for-all when Brothers Pickett
and Hopkins engaged in a little per
sonal controversy but the affair was
settled without bloodshed. Cressell,
Wishart, Hussey, and Pickett starred

""Hands up!" The command was

well spent evening at rummy. As
he was Dassinz the Teachers' college

The mldBemesters reports show lose

from serious ones down to mere cleri

Moportion of one out of four. A3 the
delinquencies are heavier among men

proportion of delinquent men is some
where between one-third and one half.
One hundred thirty-three were delin

to an excess of socinl engagements

Mercury had noting on Bryant. All
the feats of historical runners fade
into oblivion when compared to what
took place during the next ten seconds.
It was one hundred yards on we
straight-away and one hundred and
fifty with the two turns, between the
college and the house. Bryant made
it in the above mentioned ten seconds,
taking the turns on two wheels and
the three steps on the piazza in one
bounce. The robber had no chance.
Whether he followed or not is un

The defeat of Syracuse was the big
gest upset of the dope this season and
upsets have been anything but uncom
mon. Just what bearing this surprise
will have on the Syracuse-Nebraska
game Thanksgiving Day, is hard to
tell. Possibly the Orange morale will
be 60 weakened by the Hoosier victory
that the Cornhuskers will also trounce
the Easterners. It is more probable,
however, that the game at Blooming
ton will put more fight and spirit In
to the Orange attack and Syracuse
will meet Nebraska with renewed
strength and courage.

York College Fails to Roll Up a
Single Score Against
Yearlings
Holding the champion York college
eleven to a scoreless tie Saturday
on Nebraska field, the university fresh
men exhibited their gridiron strength.
The teams were evenly matcned in
poundage. The freshmen had a slight
edge on the visitors throughout the
entire conflict, but lacked the driving
power to make a final spurt across the
goal line. Only in aerial play were
(he freshmen overshadowed by the
Yorkers.
More than a thousand fans weie m
the bleachers and the gate receipts
easily exceeded 1500. This assures
the freshmen that trophy sweaters
will be given them, as the net re
ceipts, after York's expenses have
been paid, will be used for that pur
pose. Considerable spirit was mani
fested by Cornhusker students in the
Elands. Led by Turner, they gave
heartening and encouraging cheers to
the first year team.
The Yearlings were supreme In the
first quarter. They smashed down as
far as York's 18-yard line where
Frank's men held fast and took tne
ball on downs. Myers booted the pig
skin out of danger. In the second per
iod Yorn enlarged the freshmen goal.
A 30-yard forward pass and a line
buck by Zimmerman brought them to
the Freshmen's 20-yard line. Hamil
ton attempted a kick from placement
but it sailed wide of the posts, and
taking the ball on their own 20-yard
line, the Freshmen punted to the other
end of the field.
The third quarter saw a continual
exchange of punts between Myers uua
Moore, the York artist having a slight
advantage. Neither team was able to
muster enough force to get within
striking distance of the goal line. The
best football was displayed in the final
leriod. York was almost scorea uen
Myers intercepted a forward pass and
apparently had a clear field. A flying
tackle by Wenke, however, brougnt
him to earth and defeat was aam
staved offff. Another pass, Brown to
Coffey, was good for 27 yards, the ball
being advanced to the Freshmen it
yard line. Doty intercepted the next
aerial attempt by York and retumoa
17 yards.
"Chick" Hartley and Martin eie
the stellar performers in the Year
lings' final bid for a touchdown.
Brilliant runs by Hartley and vicious
plunges by Martin brought the oval to
York's 25-yard line, where Hartley at
tempted a dropkick but was unBuc
ful. The work of Hartley, Martin and
Doty in the backfield and of Sturm,
Weller, and Nel6on in the line
especially notable:
