SHORT PLAYS
ON PROGRAM
University Players to Give Ser
ies of One-Act Produc
tions This Week
YENNE DIRECTING WORK
An evening of one-act plays will be
featured by the University Players
for their third production of the sea
son, the evenings of December 10, 11,
and 12, with a Saturday matinee.
Herbert Ycnno will direct the plays.
The program consists of six short
plays in all, three one-act plays, and
three interludes. The' one-act plays
are "Poor Aubrey", "Why the Chimes
Rangy, and "Op-O'-Me-Thumb."
"Poor Aubrey is the one-act ver
sion of the play "The Show-Off" by
George Kelly. He first wrote "Poor
Aubrey" which became so popular
trat he enlarged it into three acts.
Popular Latt Year
"Why the Chimes Rang," by Eliza
both McFadden is in keeping with the
holiday season. The play is adapted
from Raymond Allen's story of the
same name. A musical theme runs
through the latter half of the per
formance. The scene of "Op-O'-Me-Thumb" is
laid in a laundry. There a laundry
queen dreams of romance and a lord.
Her dream does not come true.
The interludes are "Thirty Minutes
in the Street", "The Noble Lord",
and "All on a Summer's Day'.
The evening of the one-act plays
was an innovation in the work of the
Players last year, but the program
proved to be the most popular of all.
Last year "The Valiant", which has
since become the best known Ameri
can one-act play, was presented.

plays are:

lieutenants and sergeants. The next
dance was a cadet oficers dance.

The Girls' Cornhusker party is
the one social event of the year which

an attendance of ever a thousand.
The hostesses this year are planning
on greater numbers than have even
before attended.
Admission to the party will bu

ater Saturday.
"The Toymaker of Nuremburg"
proved to a well-filled house in the
Temple Theatre, Saturday afternoon
and evening, the ability of the less
experienced members of the dramatic
department.
The play, given for the "Child
ren's Theater," was in keeping with
the Christmas season. It was a fan
tasy woven around a quaint old toy
maker of Germany who loved his
dolls so much that he refused to
make teddy-bears, which had become
tre fad, when he endangered his
small wages. His devotion to the art
of doll making nearly ruins the ro
mance of his son, David, and Hesta,
daughter of his employer. The play
ends rappily whe nthe old man's .son
arrives from America, bringiny a
great fortune wrich he had made
from the teddy-bear fad.
Jack Rank interpreted the part of
the Toymaker. in whicr he proved
himself to be an excellent character
actor. Ruth Schrank depicted the
part of a Germa nfrau well. Honor
able mention must be given to those
who played in the roles of The Boy
and The Girl. They were students
from the children's dramatic classes.

WEIR'S COAST TRIP IS BARRED
Valley Headt Rule Hu.ker Tackle
Will Forfeit Amateur Standing
It is probable that Ed Weir, Ne
braska's All-American tackle, will not
take part in tho all-stiir, East vs.
West game which is to be played at
Pasadena December 20, as ho hud
planned.
Prof. R. D. Scott, faculty repre
sentative at the conference of Mis
souri Valley schools held in St. Louis
yesterday, wired Weir that it had
been ruled that he would automati
cally forfeit his amateur standing by
accepting tho Pasadena offer. Weir
still has a season of track competition
ahead of him.
Tho game is being promoted as a
benefit for tho Shriner's hospital
fund and none of tho players are to
receivo more tran their expenses.
Tho conference ruled, however, that
the game is in direct opposition to the
Valley rules and that Weir's partici
pation in the game would disqualify
him from further Valley competition.

southern states.
Among the social functions to be

FIVE MISSOURI
VALLEY GAMES
ON 1926 SLATE
Football Schedule for Next
Year Almost Completed
At St. Louis Meeting;
NOTRE DAME PLAYS HERE
Bearg Seeks Big Ten Game Mus
kert Play in Seattle Thanksgiv
ing Oklahoma Dropped
With tho exception of ono game
tho gridiron schedulo which the Ne
braska Cornhuskers will play in 192(5
has been completed. The schedule
was drafted Saturday in St. Louis,
where coaches and directors of the
Missouri Valley were in session. The
games definitely booked, for next
year, as announced by Acting Ath
letic Director Gish and Coach Bearg
are:
Oct. 2 Drake at Lincoln.
Oct. 9 Mt'touri at Lincoln.
Oct. .23. Kansas at Lawrence.
Oct. 30. Iowa State at Lincoln.
Nov. 6 Notre Dame at Lincoln.
Nov. 13. Kansas Aggiet at Lin
coln.
Nov. 25. (Thanksgiving) Univer
sity of Washington at Seattle.
The only open date on the schedule
is October 16, and final negotiations
for a game on that date will depend
on the result of Coach Bearg's trip
to Chicago where he is attending the
conference of Big Ten coaches. It la
the desire of the Nebraska coach to
pit the 1926 Cornhuskers against one
of the leading teams in the Big Ten.
It is likely that Coach Bearg will en
deavor to schedule either Minnesota
or Wisconsin on home-and-home two-
year contract. Failing in this he will
look elsewrere for first-class oppon
ent for Nebraska.
Michigan Sayt Nay
Michigan and Northwestern have
turned down offers of the Nebraska
coach for a game for next season,
both stating that they had listed all
of the important games that they
wished to book. Undoubtedly they
do not care to undertake the stiff
competition that the Cornhuskers
would offer.
Five home games are listed on the
schedule for next year and the eighth
and final game which the Nebraska
coach is endeavoring to boo Vr will not
be played in the Nebraska Memorial
stadium, as this would throw the
1927 schedule out of balance.
Iowa State Again
Oklahoma will not be on the sched
ule next year and Iowa State has
been substituted instead.
The trouble, which led to the sever
ing of relations between the school at
Ames and Nevraska has been fixed,
to the pleasure of all concerned. The
contract calls for three games be
tween the two schools, two of them to
be played in Lincoln.
ENGINEERS PLAN
A "BOOT DANCE"
Tickets for "Tough" Party to be
Held December 12 on Sale
Monday Morning
Tickets will go on sale Monday in
all the engineering buildings for the
Engineers' "Boot Dance" to be held
in the Knights of Columbus Hall the
evening of December 12.
Arrangements for one of the most
unique social functions of the year
are being made under the direction
of a committee composed of Theodore
Armstrong, Fred Wehmer, Edward
Wanek, and E. C. Carter. Engineers
attending the dance are expected to
wear a typical "tough" outfit high
boots, checker shirts, leather jackets,
etc. No hobnailed boots will be al
lowed, though.
The dance, which will be open to
all students, will be chaperoned by
George Chapman, Giles Haney, and
August Lucbs, all of the College of
Engineering. The Venetians Or
chestra, rapidly gaining popularity,
has been secured to furnish the mu
sic. xicKets win oe on sale tomorrow
at one dollar.
Educational Service
Department Created
The name of the Teachers Place
ment Bureau was officially changed
to the Department of Educational
Service at the last meeting of the
Board of Regents. The change was
made because the work of the de
partment is much more diversified
than is indicated by the former name,
as it includes help in school adminis
tration and collegiate positions, and
the gathering of statistical informa
tion concerning Nebraska schools.
Weather Forecast
Sunday: Generally fair; rising
temperature.
