Inspector Ryan Glen Starboard
Miss Brown .......Frances McChesney
Officer Robert Reed
Messenger Jack Rank
Silas. Willoughby Ray Ramsey
Harold Felton, a law student, as
Douglas Blackwell, will carry the lead
in the show.
The story is that of an eccentric
old man who died, leaving a will
stipulating that hjs four hefrs, two
nephews and two nieces, must remain
for three nights in the house occupied
by him for many years and which
had the reputation of being haunted.
Story Is Interesting .
It is stipulated in the will that if
any of the heirs refuses to remain
for three nights, his or her share is
to go to those who stayed. If all of
them are frightened away, his prop
erty is to be divided between his old
secertary and a colored servant who
i? deaf and dumb. If either of these
two die the property is inherited by
the other.
Things begin to happen from the
moment the heirs arrive in the haunt
ed house, and they keep on happen
ing until the final curtain. The old
secretary dies, choked to death by
what appears to be an unseen hand.
The chandelier falls to the floor. A
revolver is snatched from out of
space from the hand of one of the
heirs. A leaf, upon which is written
the name of the next one of the party
doomed to die, and announced by a
ghostly supernatural voice, is torn
from the book by an invisible force.
and vanishes.
The amazing solution comes just t
moment before the end of the play,
and brings to a conclusion this dra
matic masterpiece.
HUSKER TRACK
TEAM APPEARS
OH SATURDAY
Schulte's Men Primed For First
Home Meet of Season;
Battle Missouri
RECORDS MAY GO DOWN
Locke Looked To To Run Century
Dash In Record Time; Official
Timers Are Secured
After a strenuous workout Wed
nesday evening Coach Schulte taper
ed down the training of his track
squad Thursday to short race work
and "playing around." This complet
es the preparation of his athletes for
the first home meet of the season.
The outlook for a Nebraska vic
tory is not any too bright, according
to Coach Schulte. He has worked out
a comparison of the two teams which
gives Missouri a ten-point lead. This
may or may not mean anything for
after all, as he says "performance is
what counts."
Nebraska track fans are Dullinsr
for Locke to break, or at least eoual
the world's record in the 100-yard
dash, but Coach Schulte Baid yester
day, "that's an awful lot to ask of a
man, but if anybody can do it, Locke
can.
Nebraska's mile relay team seems
to have the edge on Missouri, if the
Kansas relays furnish a comparison.
The team composed of Dailey, Bepr
kle, Davenport and Wyatt placed sec
ond there. Last year, however, Mis
souri did nothing spectacular at these
meets but won the Valley meet at
Norman.
Only Lost Two Meets
The Scarlet and Cream track
squad has lost but two dual meets
in the past seven years and neither
of these defeats were by Valley
teams. Saturday will be the big test
of whether or not they will hold up
the record.
