Everett Isaacson of Norfolk Dies
When Canoe Capsizes
at Crete
WAS PREPARING FOR
ANNUAL FRAT PICNIC
Pulmotor Too Late to Prevent
Season's First River
Casuality
Everett Isaacson, 19. Norfolk, fresh
man in Hie engineering college of the
state university, was drowned in the
Blue Kiver near the Y. M. C. A. camp
near Crete at 9: SO a. m., Saturday.
The body was recovered ut 10 o'clock
and although a pulmotor wa used
for marly an hour, all efforts to re
suscitate the youth failed. His father
anil mother reside at Norfolk, the
former being an officer of the Norfolk
Bridge & Construction company.
Isaacson and another freshman,
Rex Keese of Omaha, were in a canoe
racing with four other men in a canoe
when their boat capsized. Both Isaac
son and Reese could swim and they
strurk out for the shore, but the water
was very cold and they were encum
bered with their clothing. Suddenly
Isaacson threw up his hands and
sank. Reese did his best to save him
and when he reached the shore was
r.lmost exhausted. He removed his
shoes, however, and again plunged in
to the stream, but without avail. The
drowning boy could not be located.
The men in the other boat turned
about and came back to the scene as
quickly as possible and although oil
who could do so dived and others
were called to assist, it was nearly an
hour before the body could be located.
In the meantime word had been sent
to Crete and the pulmotor was put
to work as soon as the body was re
covered. Life was entirely extinct.
Is.:ason was a member of Bushnell
Guild and with fourteen other mem
bers drove to Crete Friday evening to
prepare for the annual picnic of the
guild which was to be held today.
They camped there for the night and
Inning everything in readiness were
enjoying themselves and waiting for
the others when the fatality occurred.
The other members of the fraterni
ty went to Crete Saturday morning
on the train, reaching there shortly
alter the body had been recovered.
Among them was the older brother of
the drowned youth, Clarence Isaacson,
a junior In the business administra
tion college. A telegram had been
Fent to Lincoln telling of the drown
ing, but it had not reached here be
fore the party started to Crete, so the
elder brother was uninformed of the
dfvath. He was taken aside by a friend
and the news imparted to him. The
body was taken to Crete and will go
from there to Norfolk.
Everett Isaacson is spoken of by
the members of the fraternity as a
general favorite and one of the hard
est working students In the univer
sity. One week ago, Mothers' day,
his mother came down from Norfolk
and spent the day with her sons.
That was the last time she saw him
alive.

Pastor Declares More Heat Than
Sense in Denunciation of
Modern Drama
Rev. Dr. John Thompson, pastor of
the First Methodist Episcopal Church,
Chicago, frankly Bays, "there is more
heat than sense In most of the talk
preachers make against the theatre,"
which he describes as "a hangover
from the beliefs of fifty years ago.
The drama bad its origin in religion,"
he continues, "and the church should
have been In control of the theater
all through all through the centuries
rather than allowing It to become
commercialized and debased. Dramat
ic talent is a Godgiven talent, Just
as musical or artistic talent"
Arthur Hopkins, the producer, Eu
gene O'Neill, the author, and Pauline

the divine speaker in his valuation
and mission of the theater. The name

lished in the summer of 1920. While
at Missouri Schulte published a book
called "Tales of the Tigers" and It
is from these two publications that
the "Tales of the Cornhuskers" is
being worked out. The book as pub
lished now, however, will be much
more complete' than anything before

doubtedly become an annual Corn
husker tthletic year book.

mer athletes of the university brought
a spontaneous reply and assures the
