Scores For Seconds
Spring football practice ended yes
terday with a game between the
first nnd second teams. The seconds
really won as they were given a
handicap of twenty points. The ac
tual score was 19 to 7 in favor of
the first eleven, however.
It was a good exhibition of foot
ball, showing much improvement
over the last A number of fumbles
marred the contest, but the men
worked together well. The first team
were the Reds, while the second
squad wore blue jerseys.
The high-point man of the game
was Blue Howell. He scored two
touchdowns, and "Jug" Brown car
ried the oval over for the other Red
touchdown. Marrow made the Blue's
touchdown.
Many Good Runs
Many good runs were made during
the game. Brown ran 65 yard3 for
a touchdown by shooting off tackle
and eluding several Blues. Marrow,
at halfback for the Blues frequently
broke away for fifteen and twenty
yard gains.
The Red team did not seem much
stronger than the Blue, especially in
the line. In the backfield, Bronson
did well directing the team and also
made some good runs. Blue Howell
ripped through the line for gain after
gain and backed up the line in fine
fashion. Holm, while not carrying
the ball, was good on interference.
Gates, Durisch, and McMullen seem
ed the best men in the forward wall.
Marrow and Oehlrich were the out
standing backfield men for the
Blues. Oehlrich was a very steady
performer and always good for sev
eral yards. Burnham, a letter man
of two seasons, played end for the
Blues. Morrison, Hunt, and Krall
seemed the best bet in the line.
Oehlrich Kicks Off
The game started with Oehlrich
kicking off for the Blues. Howell
returned the oval 20 yards. Brown
slipped through for four yards, and
Bronson made it first and ten. Brown
fumbled and Burnham recovered. The
Blues had to punt and Lindell kicked
35 yards against the wind. "Jug"
made 25 yards around left end, but
the Blues recovered another fumble
soon afterward. Howell then pick
ed up Marrow's fumble. The game
at this stage was in the middle of the
gridiron, both teams unable to hold
the ball.
The Blues started a short march
down the field, on off-tackle smashes
by Marrow; and Oehlrich going
through the line, but losing the ball.
Soon after this Brown slipped
through the left wing of the line and
succeeded in clearing all the tack
lers to place the oval across the goal.
Howell failed to make the extra point
with a place kick. The Blues kicked
off again and Howell returned to the
40-yard line. Hunt picked up a fum
ble. Gains by Marrow advanced the
ball to the 25-yard line. Wostoupal
failed on a criss-cross as the quarter
ended.
Near Coal
Plunges by Oehlrich through the
center of the Red line put the ball
within the 5 yards of the chalk line.
Marrow failed to go off-tackle. Then
Howell, backing up the line, stopped
Oehlrich.
The Reds punted out of danger and
Lee and Lawson were both on Lin
dell as he received the ball. Brown
intercepted a pass by Lindell but
was downed by Oehlrich. There was
an exchange of punts and the Blue
eleven advanced the ball within strik
ing distance. A pass frcm Marrow to
Wostoupal. Oehlrich made a good
gain, but the half ended.
DuTeau Substitutes
DuTeau was substituted for Lin
dell as the second period opened.
Howell and Brown carried the ball
for gains. A pass was intercepted by
Morrison, but the Blues lost it.
Brown made 12 yards around Burn
ham's end, and on the next play car
ried the ball across the boal line. It
was not allowed, however, as his
teammates were ' off-side. Howell,
Bronson, and Brown carried the ball
for good yardage and Howell plung
ed across. The try for point succeed
ed and the actual score stood 13-0 in
favor of the Reds. The quarter end
ed soon afterward with the Blues in
possession of the ball on the Red 40-
yard line.

Starts "W. J. Bryan
Source Collection
(University News Service)
To assemble in its library and mu

Nebraska State Historical Society in
March sent letters to a large number
of former associates and friends of
Bryan, asking for personal recollec
tions and comments on his life. Nu
merous replies are being received.
The collection, it is planned, will
serve as a great storehouse of source
material for future historians, and
it is expected will be the most com
plete in America on the life of Bryan.
Large donations havo already been
received from Charles W. Bryan, and
other close friends of the family.
T. S. Allen, brother-in-law, has
pro'ided the society with a list of

DR. REINHARDT
'Candidates for Oblivion"

DEFINES AN EDUCATION
Dr. Aurelia Henry Reinhardt, head
of the American Association of Uni
versity Women, of Mills College,
Oakland, Cal., lectured on "Candi
dates for Oblivion" at the convoca
tion at 11 o'clock Friday morning at
the Temple Theater. Dr. Reinhardt
said that she chose this subject after
reading of some California students
in an automobile accident.
Dr. Reinhardt challenged American
universities and students by asking:
Advises Students
"What are you a candidate for
anyhow?" She advised that Ameri
can students should face the truth,
have a definite purpose, and know
the way to accomplish it. In empha
sizing her subject she said:
"Be sure you know what education
is ,what schooling is. People can
come out of school without an edu
cation." Education a Word
The speaker warned of the dangers
in America of making education a
mere word. She wondered if stu
dents really understand the purpose
of education. She then defined a
university H3 a. place where learned
men and women encourage each oth
er in working together, not empha
sizing past knowledge ,but in seek
ing for a new interpretation of it.
Dr. Reinhardt thought it odd that the
students are not good citizens and are
immature in their attention to civic
duty, but she thinks that interest is
rapidly maturing because students
feel themselves not just a group but a
nation as well.
Social Sciences
Dr. Reinhardt then pointed out
how the social sciences are be
ing crowded and that American sci
entific students are not paying much
attention to research work.' In dis
cussing the classics she said: "We
have done away with the discipline
of grammar, so that few of us are
even literate. Anything goes, a ges
ture, a shrug, and a stab at a word
somewhere between a and z. We are
developing a most peculiar English.
There is an efficient medium for
careful thought.
Does Not Condemn Students
It is encouraging and interesting
to note that the speaker did not
condemn the students as being ir
religious and with no ideals. She
wishes however, that they would not
even give people a chance to say they
are not religious. She closed her
talk by referring again to the fact
that students must find their pur
pose, then all that is noble will fol
low. May Day Tourney
Harvard is planning a May day
poetry tournament modeled after the
fourteenth century spring festival.

wives and children.
As a member of Post 3, I am
familiar with the admirable work

EXECUTIVES GIVE TALKS
One hundred and fifty students
and graduates of the College of
Pharmacy attended the banquet held
at the Lindell Hotel Friday night.
This ended the annual Pharmacy
week at the University.
Earl Rasdale. a graduate of
the college in 1924, was the speaker
of the evening. Mr. Rasdale recalled
old reminences of his school days
with Dr. Lyman and told of his busi
ness in western Nebraska.
Advises Students
In advising the students he said:
"Let the people know that you know
your business and know the markets,
so you can know your business.'' He
also pointed out the importance of
gaining the confidence of the public,
and advertising.
Doctor Lyman, Dean of the Col
lege of Pharmacy, also told of the
past. He told of organizing the col
lege, how he graduated but two stu
dents eighteen years ago. Doctor
Lyman then spoke on the students
and their accomplishments.
Avery Speaks
Chancellor Avery congratulated
the students on their attendance at
the banquet and Pharmacy Week pro
gram. This all goes to show the
progress of the young pharmacists,
according to the Chancellor. He said
the College of Pharmacy is distin
cuished because of the fact that it
still has the same men at it's head
it had when organized. Dean Eng
berir erected the students and com
mended Dean Lyman for his work in
the past.
Jewett On Program
Colonel Jewett head of the Military
Department, talked on his connec

Sitv-four vears ago, there was
born in Australia a child who was to
become the greatest of contraltos
Madame Schumann-Heink. Her fath

Her family moved to Grats, where
Excellence Benedek, a well-to-do
army officer became interested and
provided funds for her lessons until
she was seventeen. Then he seiit
her to the director of the Hef Opera
in Vienna, who told her that "with
such a face and no personality she
could never hope to be a singer."
Then began the struggle through
which every great artist has gone,
until she received an invitation to
sing in the Royal Opera at Dresden.
She remained there for four years,

was presented by the University Play
ers in their Children's Theater at the
Temple Theatre Saturday afternoon

most difficult that has been given- in
the Children's Theatre this year, due
to the large cast.
It was given with skill and under

der the direction of Fern Hubbard,
instructor in the Dramatic Depart

Pauline Gellatly as Sara, "the lit

for the success of the play. As the,

It was from this condition that she
rose to the honored position which
she now holds. It was only Madame
Schumann-Heink's cheery patience
and perserverance that 'brought her
from early poverty to the pinnacle of
artistic success. Seldom has she per
mitted her home life to bother her
hevond the moment of immediate
need, and then only so long as was
necessary to grapple with and solve
the problem as soon as possible.
With her wonderful voice and ar-
tistry, Madame Schumann-Heink has
entertained for nearly five decades
the music lovers of Europe and
America. She came to America in
1899 and was first heard with the
De Reszkes, Plancon, Eames, Nor-
dica and Bispham.

In the 440-yard relay, the Hus
kers had bad luck. The Kansas
quartet won the event. When Hein
passed the baton to Dailey on the
first touch-off, Dailey dropped the
stick. Then when Davenport was
handing it to Locke, he stumbled and
fell. Nebraska was a favorite in this
event, and it is thought that they are
faster in the 440 than the half-mile
relay.
In the two-mile relay, Lewis, suf
fering from a cold, lost more than
the other three men could make up.
In the mile-relay event, Dailey lost
several yards, Beerkle held his own,
Davenport pulled into third place,
