ORCHESTRA RENDERS
RECENT COMPOSITION
BY PROFESSOR DANN
Prof. William F. Dann's recent com
position "Quintet in F Major" received
an excellent rendition before quite a
large audience of music lovers in
Memorial hall Thursday morning at
11:30. The university orchestra com
posed of four pieces accompanied by
tie organ most ably interpretei this
most pleasing work and succeeded in
emphasizing the pleasing but more
subtle harmonies.
Mrs. Raymond at the organ gave
skillful accompaniment to the orches
tra which was composed of first and
second violins played by Edward J.
Walt and Ernest Harrison, viola and
'cello played by William T. Quick and
Miss Lillian Eiche. respectively.
The presence in the audience of
quite a large number of Lincoln peo
ple, many of whom had heard this
composition when It was presented
at the Matinee Musicale last Monday
afternoon, was a fine tribute to Prof.
Dann's musicianship. The absence of
a larger number of faculty members
was emphasized perhaps, by a few
members of the faculty who1 were
there.
The only disappointing feature of
the program was due perhaps, to the
shortened lunch hour which prevent
ed many from attending and caused
others to leave before the program
was concluded.

Kansas Athletic Authorities Decide
to Keep Cot tract With Ne
braska for Football
Word is Anticipated from Ajnes
and Missouri Itegardin Inten
tions for Coming Year
In spite of the fact that Kansas
recently broke off ithMlc relations
with the Cornhunkeri. the two schools
will meet next year on the jrldiron.
After Nebraska had withdrawn from
the Missouri Valley conference, Kan
sas athletic authorities announced
that a continuation of athletic rela
tions with the HuHkers would be un
desirable until Nebraska thould re
turn to the Conference. A telegram
was received yesterday, however,
from the Jayhawk authorities stating
that Kansas desired to retin the an
nual game with Nebraska and men
tioned November 13 as a possible
date, the game to be played in Law
rence, as the contract provides. Pro
vost Lees wired his acceptance of
the proposal and once more the Corn
huskers will clash with the ancient
foe, the Kansas Jayhawglers.
Last spring a two year contract was
drawn up by the two schools, calling
for games in 1919 and 1920. The an
nouncement that Kansas had severed .
relations with Nebraska led many to
believe that the Kansans would not
recognize the contract as binding. The
decision to play the Huskers again
in 1920, however, is proof that the
Kansas authorities intend to live up
to their contract. Nebraska also has
contracts with Ames and Missouri
and it is thought the near future will
bring statements from these schools
announcing their intentions to ob
serve their contracts.
When Kansas broke athletic rela
tions with Nebraska, las fall, It came
as a distinct surprise, not only to
the athletic authorities at this school
but also to the student body. The un
popularity of the move at the Kansas
institution was soon reflected in the
school paper, it being apparent that
many students there were opposed to
lcslng out on one of the biggest
games of the season.
Rivalry between the two schools
has been keen in all sports, and par
ticularly in football. Nothing has
done the Jayhawk rooters more good
than to come out a scrimmage with
the Cornhuskers at the long end of
the score, and even , In years when
school spirit at Nebraska has been
inclined to lag, the Kansas game has
ever been the greatest possible stim
ulus in reviving pep and enthusiasm.
With the fact apparent that the
Kansas-Nebraska game of this year
was to be the last for an indefinite
length of time, Kansas put every
ounce of strength behind her team
in a final effort to wallop Nebraska.
Several hundred students accom
panied the team to Lincoln, and
when the Cornhuskers proceeded to
pull the tail feathers out of the Jay
hawk and bury it with the remains
the Tiger from Missouri, it was a
sad crowd that returned. For Ne
braska had held the majority of
games prior to the 1919 contest .and
the backers from the south were anx
ious to at least have the relations
end favorably to them. It nas Deen
suggested on the Nebraska campus
that the unfavorable outcome to

game may have been some influence
towards the decision recently reach
ed by Kansas athletic authorities.
