PLAYERS MAKE
HIT IN INITIAL
PERFORMANCE
"Alias the Deacon", First Play
Of the Season, Is Well
Received By House
RAY RAMSAY IS DEACON
Nancy Forsman and Herbert
Yenne, as Young Lovers,
Gain Applause
"Alias the Deacon," first play of
the season to be presented by the
University 'Players in the Temple
theater Thursday evening, was en
thusiastically received by a well
filled house. For almost three hours
the complications and entanglements
of the popular eastern comedy suc
cess kept an appreciative house rock
ing with laughter. Action of the
play went along smoothly, while the
ease of all actors spoke well for their
careful preparation of their respec
tive roles.
Ray Ramsay, in the difficult role
of the benign "Deacon" was the cen
ter about which devolved the action
of the play. He offered a character
delineation which was received with
delight and sympathy by the audience-
Mr. Ramsey scored the hit
of the whole1 performance in his por
trayal. Nancy Forsman, as Phyllis
Halliday, the young waitress, cap
tured the crowd with her unaffected
acting of the young girl who pinned
her faith and love on an apparently
worthless hobo. Herbert Yenne,
playing the masculine lead, was
splendid as the lover of Phyllis. His
boyish good humor was infectious.
Acting is Good

i

Life" la Subject Considered
At First Meeting
"What looks wrong to me in uni
versity life," was the topic discussed
by the Freshman Council, Wednesday
evening at the Temple. The council
consists of all freshmen who wish to
meet to discuss topics of interest in
school life.
The first topic discussed by the

twice as hard as they did in high
school and receive grades only half
as high. They discussed the subject
from the standpoint of the student
and they expressed their desire that

Nebraskans To
Support Team
Over the Radio
Co-operating with KFAB, the Ne
braska Buick Radio station, the
Corn Cobs are sponsoring the firt
radio football frolic ever held at Ne
braska. During the play-by-play an
nouncement of the Nebraska-Missouri
game, between halves and at
other lapses in play, thei Corn Cobs,
assisted by the sophomore cheer
leaders, will take charge of organiz
ing the spectators into a cheering
section. The cheering done by this
group will go into the microphone to
be broadcast not only to the maay
Cornhusker followers in Nebraska
but to be received and re-broadcasted
in the Missouri stadium.
Thei band has also been asked to
perform and every member who is at
liberty tomorrow afternoon is urged
to be at the-Studio of KFAB to help
make this frolic a success.
The large display room on the first
floor of the Buick building will be
cleared for the purpose of accommo
dating as many spectators and lis
teners as possible.' "
Such an undertaking " as this, it
should be understood, is not of a
private nature or designed for any
commercial advertising purpose. On
the other hand it has been conceived
for the benefit of the school and for
the purpose of conveying the well
known Nebraska spirit to our repre
sentitives at Columbia. Also, since
their is no special train to carry the
usual number of Cornhusker support
ers to the game, through the medium
of radio, ,these same supporters can
be at Columbia next Saturdav In
spirit if not in body.

vacation male and female specimens
of the Water Vole. He has since
mounted them and presented them to
the museum. These specimens are a
valuable addition to the present Col

Critics Praise
Work of Negro
Artist and Poet
The following article is a criticism
of the work of a young negro, Aaron
Douglas, who was graduated from the
drawing and painting department of
the School of Fine Arts three years
ago. Mr. Douglas illustrated a book
of negro verse written by James
Weldon Johnson.
"With a collaboration which is
truly vital and a vision which is truly
spiritual, Aaron Douglas, the artist
who conceived the eight symbolic
drawings which do so much to en
hance the book and vivify its mes
sage, gives us in an entirely sub
limated, abstract way a background
of sense and feeling in which there is
this great, timeless, everlasting prim
itive folk-quality. In setting this
vision up before America of today,
and especially before the young Ne
gro poets of today, both the poet and
the artist have made a significant
contribution. Contemnorarv Amer
ican poetry and art are richer for it,
but richer still the prospects of the
Negro poet and his tradition." from
August "Survey Graphic," 1927.

RALLY SENDS
TEAM ON WAY
TO MISSOURI
Students Parade to Station
With "Beat Mizzou Break
The Jinx" Banner
BEARG AND SCHULTETALK
Game May Decide Valley Title;
Many Nebraska Fans
Plan to Drive
A rally of unusual proportions
sent the Cornhusker football team
off for Missouri yesterday. The rally
ftarted at 4:30 o'clock in front of
the Social Sciences building, and
ended at 5:30 o'clock at the depot
as the train pulled out for Colum
bia, taking Coach Bearg's gridmen
to one of their hardest and most im
portant games.
The rally started according to
schedule in front of Social Sciences
building, but the rooters soon formed
into a procession, and, with the band
leading, marched to the football
field. Here some cheering was done,
and then one of the greatest pep
parades in Cornhusker history be
gan. March Through Business District
The procession, preceded by a
"Beat Mizzou Break the Jinx" ban
ner, and filling the street for more
than a block, marched down through
the business section of Lincoln. The
parade reached the station at 5:15
o'clock and the send-off began.
Cheers, led by Phil Sidles, started
the rally, and soon a cry arose for
"Bearg!" Coach Bearg came out' of
the car, and announced that he was
"glad to see so many here", and
added that the game with Missouri
would be a hard battle.
Schulte Praises Student Spirit
"No rally is complete without a
talk from Coach Schulte," announ
ced Sidles, and the crowd demanded
Schulte. A cheer greeted the Ne
braska tranier as he stepped from
the train onto an improvised plat
form. He complimented the Nebras
kans for their spirit and declared,
that such a send-off as this team was
getting would help keep, up its spirits
when it met the Missouri Tigers.
"We will win or lose fighting!"
shouted Schulte as he stepped back
into the train. It was next announr
ced that organized Nebraska cheer
ing would ' be broadcast from Mis
souri with the report of the game.
Team Members Speak
In response to an urgent call for
members of the team Glen Presnell,
Blue Howell, and "Jug" Brown ap
peared and gave short talks.
"We would rather win this game
than any other," stated captain
"Jug" Brown. This sentiment seems
to be felt by all Nebraska fans,
many of whom are driving to Mis
souri. HARRIERS EMBARK
