Trip to Erin
Holds Appeal
To McCormack
An interesting story is told of John
McCormack, celebrated Irish tenor,
who is to make his appearance in
the coliseum, Wednesday evening,
November 9. The incident was re
lated by Archie Bell, dramatic and
musical critic for the Cleveland
News.
"When I was calling upon John
McCormack yesterday, I was witness
when he did a very shocking thing.
He threw away $12,000. In these
times that seems worse than shock
ing almost monstrous, in fact. In
stead of that, it was Irish sentimen
tality; and when that is to be con
sidered, money, any amount of it,
doesn't count.
"A telegram arrived offering $12,-
000 for a concert around the Christ
mas and New Year's holiday. 'What
about it' asked h:s manager.
Wants To Co To Ireb"d
" 'No'. There was not even an ar
gument about it. Then McCormack
explained to me. 'I'm going to Ire
land for Christmas that's why. I'm
going to light big fires in those fire
places at Moore Abbey (his estate
outside of Dublin) and spend the
holidays with my family and friends

'LILIOM' WILL
BE PRESENTED
University Players Practicing
For Production of Molnar's
Drama This Week
LERNER CAST FOR LEAD
"Liliom," Molnar's dramatic com
edy of Budapest, will be presented
by the University players Novem
ber 10, 11, 12, in the Temple thea
ter. This is the second season pro
duction, and will be one of the most
elaborate, in both stage settings and
acting, that the players have yet at
tempted, under the direction of Miss
H. Alice Howell, and Herbert Yenne.
Zolley Lerner will play "Liliom."
The play was first presented for
a full year in New York first by the
Theater Guild at the Garrick thea
ter, later at the Fulton theater; both
places, it drew great crowds, and at
tracted a great deal of comment on
its unusual and original plot and
daring type of sets and unusual
stage effects.
'Liliom' Is A Tough
The main character of the ylay
is 'Liliom,' a Budapest tough and
shiftless ne'er-do-well. The play
moves from a Hungarian carnival
through a lonely park rendezvous.
There is even a glimpse of life be
yond, in Heaven and Purgatory. The
wonderful originality and freshness
of Molnar's mastery in handling his
theme has injected a subtle and fa
cile humor in the work that capti
vates as well as amazes his audi
ences. Mr. Dwight Kirsch, scenic director
has been working for almost a year
on the sets for "Liliom." Offering
as it does an unusual diversity of
stage arrangements, the play as pre
sented here will delight its patrons
with new and beautiful sets, espe
cially designed for "Liliom," which
means 'roughneck' in Hungarian.
The sets for the scenes in the after
worlds are especially striking.
Season tickets will admit to "li
liom." Special student matinee will
be Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock;
Saturday matinee for the public at
the same time. Evening perform
ances start promptly at 8 o'clock.
Scienrtzc Study Being
Started by Discussion
Groups of Bible Tex
For men who wish to take part in
a scientific study of the meaning of
the New Testament, a group has been
organized to meet each Sunday morn
ing at 9:30 o'clock in the Y. M. C. A
rooms at the Temple. "Those who
theology has made dissatisfied with
religion find these sessions especially
attractive," stated C. D. Hayes, sec
retary of the University Y. M. C. A.
The group will be led by Dr. Pat
terson, profassor in the philosophy
department. The purpose as ex
plained by Mr. Hayes will be to put
aside pre-conceptions and prejudices,
in an honest attempt to find the real
truth.
Henri Rosenstein Has Chicago Place
Henri Rosenstein, a June graduate
of the school of fine arts, is now in
Chicago, where has a position as lay
out man and copy writer with the
advertising firm of Pickus-Weiss
company.
Good guessers are the ones who
get the "A" grades, according to Dr
Herbert Shenton, of the department
of sociology of Syracuse university.

High Point Man
Blue Howell, smashing Nebraska
halfback who scored the first touch
down in the Kansas-Nebraska game
and was high point man of the home
coming battle. Howell's long drives
through the Jayhawker line and his
perfect interference running were
some of the spectacular plays of the
game.

CAPT. JOHNSON FOURTH
Kansas cross-country men nosed
out the Husker harriers by a single
point in the dual run held over the
Nebraska course during the first
half of the Nebraska-Kansas game.
Kansas, with "Poco" Frazier plac
ing first well ahead of the field, won
27 to 28.
Frazier, smallest runner in the
Valley finished over 200 yards ahead
of Chadderdon of Nebraska who
took second. Chadderdon came
onto the track for the final lap close
behind Sauraman of Kansas, with
Johnson four or five yards to the
rear. He pulled past Sauraman
forcing him to break stride with his
sprint on the last stretch. Captain
Johnson of the Huskers picked up on
Sauraman fast in the last fifty yards
and was nosed out by inches at the
tape. If he had beaten Sauraman,

win.

ALUMNUS DIRECTS SHOW
Kent K. Kimball Has Charge of In
ternational Petroleum Exposition
Kent K. Kimball, former Lincoln
resident and a graduate of the uni
versity in 1918, was in charge of the
international petroleum exposition at
Tulfa recently. It was the largest
single industry show ever attempted
At the exposition geology was the
dominant feature. One large build
ing was devoted exclusively to scien
tific, technical and educational dis
plays. One cf these consisted of rare
and delicate instruments, valued at
$25,000, which are used in locating
possible oil structures in testing and
determining the volume of all grades
of natural gas and petroleum pro
ducts. .Included in this display was the
magnetometer, an apparatus used in
locating salt domes and possible oil
structures in the mid-continent re
gion; a pyrometer, a refinery and
laboratory instrument of unusual
delicacy; and a chainomatic balance,
one oi tne most sensitive Daiances
made.
Unusual interest was given to the
exposition because it has been two
years since the last one was held, and
in the oil field many new develop
ments can take place in that length
of time.

Displaying a powerful running attack with an assortment
of forward passes, Nebraska downed Kansas 47 to 13 on Me
morial Stadium field Saturday before a homecoming crowd of
approximately 12,000. At the end of the first half Nebraska
had Kansas 13 to 7 but a second half rally which swept the
Jayhawk eleven off its feet netted the Huskers 34 points to
the lone touchdown for Kansas.
The running attack of Presnell and Howell was the fea
ture of the game. The two Husker backs tore through the Kan
sas wall and skirted the ends for repeated gains. The most
spectacular run of the afternoon was the -90-yard run for touch
down by Clair Sloan after he had received the Kansas kick-off
on the ten yardvlme.

YARDS FOR TOUCHDOWN
Nebraska scored its first touch
down after ten minutes of play
when Blue Howell drove through the
Kansas wall for five yards and a
touchdown. McMullen's kick added
the extra point. The Huskers scored
again in the second period after the
pigskin had been placed on the one
yard line and Bill Bronson carried
it over for the counter on a quarter
back sneak.
Jayhawk Score On Pass
Kansas scored its first touchdown
in the second quarter when Cooper
ran 76 yards after receiving a pass
from Lawrence. In the second half
the Huskers took the ball the length
of the field on line drives and
passes, Howell driving over for his
second touchdown and kicked goal.
In the third quarter Nebraska scored
a touchdown when Ted James
snagged a pass from Presnell after
four Kansas men had touched the
ball. The third touchdown of the
third period came when Glenn Pres
nell, flashy Husker back, drove
through the Blue line in tank fash
ion after the Husker line had opened
a hole in the Kansas forward wall.
The fourth touchdown for Nebras
ka in this period was scored by Pres-,
nell after the Scarlet wall had
cleared a path of seven yards for
the Husker back. Howell's kick put
the total at 41 to 7. In the last pe
riod the Kansas offense tightened
and taking the ball on the Nebraska
37-yard line the Jayhawk crew never
stopped until it had the oval on the
other side of the chalk line. Leon
Sprague blocked the kick.
Sloan Runs 90 Yards
Nebraska's last counter came in
the fourth quarter when Clair Sloan
made his spectacular run of the
game. Kansas kicked off to the 10i
yard line, Sloan receiving the balL
The Husker team opened a place for
the Nebraska back and he raced the
remaining 90 yards for the last
touchdown. "Jug" Brown's drop
kick was wide, score Nebraska 47,
Kansas 13.
Nebraska won the toss and elected
to defend the north goal, Kansas
picking off. The first kick went
out of bounds and the second at
tempt sailed to the 20-yard line and
was scooped up by Presnell who re
turned the oval 15 yards. Bronson
called the first play for a punt and
Presnell caught the Kansas eleven
unawares and punted to the 12-yard
line. The first Kansas play found
Ed Ash carrying the ball in an at
tempt to penetrate the Scarlet for-'
ward wall. The Jayhawk back could
only get one yard. On the second
play he tried the wing and lost two
yards. Failing to make any head
way the Kansas team punted.
Nebraska Starts March
The oval in possession of the Scar
let crew, the touchdown march to
the goal line got under way. The
initial play was out of bounds. The
second netted four yards with now
ell lugging the ball through tackle.
Then Oehlrich took the ball for a
first down on a nine yard run
around end on a fake play. Pres
nell tried a pass but it was incom
plete. The Husker back then tried
the line for three yards. Again
Presnell hit tackle for three more
but the third play was a pass and it
was intercepted by Ash after Oeh
lrich fumbled.
Kansas again tried the Huskers on
a running attack but failed tn mU
