Dual Contests With Three
Schools Is Also on the
Schedule.
Nebraska will enter a swimming
team in the Missouri Valley confer
ence swimming meet to be staged at
St. Louis on March 7 and 8, Coach
Adkins announced yesterday. The
team will also engage three valley
schools in dual meets during the win
ter and just preceding the Missouri
Valley tournament at St. Louis.
Individual members of the squad
are planning to compete in the mid
western A. A. U. meet which will be
on the card at Omaha this spring.
Last year several Nebraska men en
tered and one of the main events was
won by Jack Hunton, freshman last
year, who is trying for the varsity
this year.
Coach Adkins wants some more
swimmers to come out for practice.
It will be a great season with at
least four trips on the program for
those who make the team. Adkins
says he needs men for diving, plung
ing, sprints, and breast stroke.
The squad meets every Monday,
Wednesday and Friday at 5 :30 in the
evening at the Y.M.C.A. The prac
tice lasts until 6:30. Besides the
three regular practice nights a week,
the men are allowed to go in swim
ming on the other days also.
DAVE NOBLE MAKES
ALL-STAR ELEVENS
Husker Halfback Touted High
by Sport Writers and
Critics.
Numerous eastern critics have
placed Dave Noble among the high
dozen backfield performers and hon
orable mention has been given the
Dewitz brothers, Hutchison, Berfjuist
and several others in their respective
nnsitinns. Since the only warrior
from the , Cornhusker state to be
i,twi in nnstcrn circles as well as
middle western is Noble.
Noble was easily the outstanding
halfback of the Missouri Valley con
ference. He rated high among the

came into strong consideration in all
wpstern circles. Noble has repie

University Players
In Presentation of "Madame X"
The sensational melodrama "Ma
dame X" presented by the Univer
sity Players at the Temple theater in
three evening performances, begin
ning Thursday, with a matinee on
Saturday, was a presentation crown
ed with success. The play was a
wide departure from the type of the
two earlier productions of the sea
son by the Players, but in that
chancre they demonstrated their a
daptibility in a highly creditable
manner.
"Madame X" is a French Play,
the action revolving about a recre
ant wife who has deserted her hus
band and child. In the prologue to
the play, the wife returns to beg in
vain for forgiveness. In the first
act the wife is represented as she is
twenty years later, sunk far down
on the social scale. When one of
her evil consorts plans to blackmail
her husband, she kills him. The last
act portrays her trial in which she is
defended and saved by her own son
who discovers her identity just be
fore she dies.
Miss Alice Howell as the errant
wife was a notable success. Her des
pondency, her soul-weariness as it
echoed in her voice and was betray
ed in her attitude, drew forth many
DEMOLAY VARIETY
SHOW AT ORPHEUM
Eight Vaudeville Acts Are on
Program; Talent Is
Good.
The Lincoln Chapter of De Molay
will stage its third annual Variety
Show at the Orpheum Theatre on
January 7th and 8th. The show will
be of the same general type of those
given in the last two years. There
will be eight vaudeville acts accor
ding to the present plans. Tickets
will go on sale to-day and can be
procured from any member of the
chapter. The price will be one dol
lar for any seat except the boxes
which will be a dollar and a half.
While the plans for the show are
not entirely completed, several of
the acts have been enosen. A. B.
Anderson of the City Y. M. C. A.
will stage a trick athletic act which
he has worked out. Orville Andrews
will give another of Ms famous
blackface acts and will be assisted
by Stanley Capps on the Piano. An
other of the acts will consist of a
fifteen minute comedy drama which
has not been selected as yet. Koby
Sirinsky and his violin will also help
make the show a success.
The staging of the acts is in
charge of C. L. Coombs. Mr. Coombs
has also written a thirty minute mus
ical revue which will be the closing
feature. About sixten girls will be
on the cast as well as several solo
ists. Tryouts for this part of the
show were held last night.
Senior's Last Game
Emotions and Nebraska Spirit
When the whistle sounded, about
4:30 p. m., on Thanksgiving day,
1923, the Senior jumped to his feet
and started away. Then he stopped,
embarrassed, and snatched off his
hat. He was always forgetting that
the Nebraska field song is played and
sung before Cornhuskers leave the
bleachers.
A moment later he lifted his head
and started to sing. But before
three beats had sounded his head
dropped and he closed his eyes. It
came to him overwhelmingly that the
"Scarlet and Cream" was being
played for the last time while he was
on the field as one of the inner circle
of Cornhuskers.
"Come a-runnin, boys! Don t you
hear that noise,
Like the thunder in the sky? "
Yes, he heard it, and it was cloud
ing and suffocating his whole inner
world with blues and grays. ne
wondered if anyone near him could
nossibly be feeling the same way. He
couldn't have looked, but the picture
hb fellow-students would make was
perfectly clear to him; the co-eds
in red and white, with baskets of
apples and candy; the freshmen and
sophomores, jovial with holiday feel
ing and consciousness of victory; all
singing lustily; respectfu! but " :ried
Triumph
tears. The manner in which she
sustained great emotion throughont
the play was the point of much favor
able comment.
The last act, representing the
trial, is a great emotional and dra
matical climax. The stage setting
which was designed by Mr. Haugseth
of the School of Fine Arts, and the
costuming of the court officials add
ed much to the effectiveness of the
scene. Herbert Yenne as the law
yer for the defense drew forth loud
applause, and Walter Herbert as
presiding judge did especially well.
Miss Howell scored again in this act,
working the sympathies of the audi
ence up to a tremendous emotional
pitch.
Hart Jenk's deep voice was very
pleasing and his acting consistently
good. Cyril Coombs drew forth
most of the few laughs of the play.
The members of the supporting cast
all did well in their parts, and re
flected the excellence of the coach
ing they had received at the hands
of Miss Howell and Mr. Yenne, the
directors.
The Temple theater stage was too
small to accomodate such a large
number of characters at one time,
but the Players triumphed over this
difficulty.
CAGE SCHEDULE IS
BETTER THIS YEAR
Long Trips Eliminated by New
Plan of Booking Valley
Games.
The Huskers basketball schedule
which has for two years been ar
ranged on the round-robin plan, has
been rearranged so that' several pro
longed trips might be eliminated
This year the Huskers have one of
the best, if not the best, Valley sched
ule that they have ever played. There
are no non-conference games on the
schedule yetf'and it is very doubtful
if there will be any, unless very con
venient dates can be arranged.
Starting with the fast Missouri
team in a home game on January 5,
the Husker schedule includes from
one to two games a week, there being
seven home games and seven" on for
eMgn courts.
There are several open dates on
the schedule. No srames are listed

" How it rolls along, with a good
old song,
For the sons of Nebraska? "
What Had It Meant
Stop right there. The sons of Ne
braska had that ever truly meant
anything to him? If they were sons
to Nebraska, they were brothers to
each other. Had he ever made much
effort to show that he considered
those who were outside the circle of
his friends as anything but so many
strangers? He was afraid not.
" Now it's coming near, with a
rousing cheer
That will sweep all foes away.
So with all our vim, we are bound
to win,
And we're going to win to-day. "
Yes, we had won. That part was
clear to anyone.
" For Nebraska and the Scarlet,
For Nebraska and the Cream,
Tho we've gone through many a
battle
Our colors still are seen.
So in contes tand in victory,
We vjll wave them for the team,
And it will always stir a Corn

Christmas Vacation
Starts December 22
Christmas vacation begins Satur
day noon, December 22. Classes
start Wednesday, January 2, at 8

CHRISTMAS PARTY
AND TREE IS PLANNED
Annual Holiday Festivities to
Be Observed Again
This Year.
Two annual events which have be
come part of the traditions of the
university, the Christmas party and
the gathering around the Christmas
tree on the campus, will be observed
under the direction of the All-university
party committee before the holi
days. The party has been scheduled
for Saturday night at the Armory
and the tree for Thursday, Decem
ber 20. '
A meeting of the All-university
party committee has been called by
Chairman Kenneth Cozier for Wed
nesday evening at Ellen Smith hall
At that time chairmen will appoint
their committees and final plans will
be made for the Christmas dance. It
is planned to carry out the Christmas
idea in the decorations and entertain
ment. Dancing will occupy the
major part of the evening.
Previous to the war the campus
Christmas tree was an annual feat
ure. This custom was allowed to
lapse during the years of the war,
Last year it was resumed and the
committee plans to see that the affair
is continued.
Last year a large pine tree near U
hall was strung with electric lights
with the assistance of members of the
Engineering college. - A program
which included the singing of Christ
mas songs was held and bags of
candy and nuts were passed out. The
tree was lighted nightly throughout
the vacation.
CORNHUSKER STARTS
ADVERTISING WORK
Marion Woodard and Robert
Lang Are Advertising
Managers.
The advertising campaign for the
Cornhusker is to start soon, accord
ing to David Richardson, business
manager. Marion Woodard will
manage the foreign advertising and
Robert Lang the local advertising.
A new idea will be used by the
advertising department this year. A
city section is planned in which one
page will be devoted to various towns
in the state. This will give the out
state merchants an opportunity to
be represented in an all-state year
book.
Additional advertising salesmen
are needed. They may apply to the
business manager in the next few
days for those positions.
All receipt books used in the re
cent sales contest should be turned
in to the Cornhusker office today.
FOSSLER ADDRESSES
FRESHMAN ENGINEERS
INon-Liermanic Elements in
the English Language"
Is Subject.
Professor Laurence Fossler, pro
fessor of modern languages, gave a
lecture on the subject "The Non-Germanic
Elements in the English Lan
guage," following a lecture given a
few weeks ago on the subject of "The
Germanic Influence and Their Re
lation to the English Language, to
the Orientation class of the freshman
students in the Engineering College
at the Temple.
He pointed out that it would ben
efit their business and general cul
tural life if engineers had a wide
vocabularly, and could express them
selves exactly us they wished to, pre
senting technical schemes to layman
in such a manner that they would un
derstand. He told of the various
methods of enlarging a vocabularly
by using words, and varying them by
means of prefixes and suffixes.
SCHOLARSHIP IS
"W0NBY TEFFT
Rhodes Award for Nebraska
Goes to Law Student With
High Record.
SAILS FOR EUROPE
NEXT SEPTEMBER
Sheldon Tefft, '22, Law '24, has
been awarded the Rhodes Scholarship
from Nebraska, which appointment
entitles him to three years of resi
dence at Oxford University, England,
and about $5,200. He will sail for
Europe in September with thirty-two
Rhodes scholars selected from the
357 candidates of 145 colleges and
universities. There were twenty-five
candidates from the University and
almost half as many from other col
leges of the state.
Mr. Tefft, the son of Mr. and Mrs.
C. E. Tefft of Weeping Water and
a nephew of former Governor George
Sheldon, has made a distinguished
record as a scholar and has won the
respect of faculty members and stu
dents who have come to know his
qualities of mind and of character.
He was the leading scholar in his
Law class last year (with a stand
ing of about 96) and he won election
to Phi Beta Kappa in 1922 on a
standing of 93.7.
Candidates Stand High.
Commenting on the selection, Paul
F. Good, secretary of the Nebraska
committee, stated: "The competition
this year is distinctly encouraging
since the candidates were far above
the usual level of scholarship. They
showed a very high degree of intel
lectual ability and achievement com
bined with personality and character
which could hardly be excelled. Mr.
Tefft has a scholastic record that I
have hardly ever seen equalled, altho
I have participated in the selection of
seven Rhodes scholars, involving
nearly 100 candidates."
"Mr. ffef ft is one of the very finest
combinations of mentality and char
acter that I've known at the Univer
sity. He is a real, honest-to-goodness
representative Nebraskan," stated
Professor Fogg, in speaking of the
appointment at the meeting of Eng
lish 9 Monday morning.
Prof. J. A. Rice of the department
of ancient languages, a member of
the appointment committee, who also
has served on the Rhodes committees
in Kansas, Colorado, and South Da
kota, says, "It was the strongest
group of candidates I have seen in
the four years I have been on the
committee."
Before coming to the University
in 1918, Mr. Tefft represented the
Weeping Water high school in the
Nebraska high school debate league.
