WELL RECEIVED
University Players Produce
Molnar'a Hungarian
Drama Thursday
GIVE FIVE PERFORMANCES
Zolley Lerner and Beatrice
Hullet Applauded for Por
trayal of Leading Roles
"Liliom," a Hungarian drama, was
presented by the University Players
at th" Temple theater last evening.
This stirring drama, written by
Frar.z Molnar, was presented in ex
cellent ityle by the players, and was
well received by the audience. The
play was strong in atmosphere, and
unusually effective in stage-craft.
It will be presented in matinee and
evening performances today and
Saturday.
The lead role, that of a Budapest
tough, was skillfully portrayed by
Zolley Lerner who had played a
minor part in this same production'
with the Kansas City stock company
a few years ago. The swaggering,
swash-bucking bully with his char
acteristic undercurrent of tender
ness was supplemented by the char
acter of Julie, Miss Beatrice Hullett,
the servant girl who loved Liliom.
The favor of the audience seemed to
be very equally divided betwen these
two characters. The word "Liliom"
is Hungarian for "Lily," and a slang
term for ' tough."
Good Support
Miss Hullett and Mr. Lerner were
supported in this Players' production
by an excellent cast. Martha Brun
ing as the owner of a merry-go
vnnnd in the Hungarian carnival, i
hardened woman of the world, was
excentionallv good. The part
Marie, a servant girl friend of Julie,
was acted by Pauline Gellatly, and

and one-half points. The nearest ri
val was Theta Chi with 28 points.
Kappa Sigma won third with 40
points. Dexter, Theta Chi, won first

ond and Clyde Batie third.
Coach "Jimmy" Lewis stated thaj;
it was the best inter-fraternity cross
country race since the event has been
established in intramural sports.
This, he statcd.was probably due to
the hare and hound chases which
have been run every week. Most of
the men who ran in the cross-country
were in excellent condition.

teen fraternities started the race
and about 75 finished. This is a much

about three miles in length, about
one half mile longer than it has been
in the past.
A trophy will be awarded the win
nng team. It will also win 75 points
on the all-year intramural sporting
events. All teams with three men fin
ishing will win SO points and the

BARBECUE HELD

motion of Class Spirit
CLASS HAS SHORT RALLY
Sixty-four freshmen turned out
last night for the annual freshman
barbecue held in the coliseum. The
meeting, sponsored by the Iron
Sphinx, was promoted for the pur
pose of organizing the freshman
class for the Olympics to be held
Saturday, but because of the small
attendance, no effort was made to
ward this.
The-barbecue was not recognized
this year, as it was last, when three
hundred turned out, as few frater
nities reported closed tables to the
freshmen so that they might attend.
The program last night, which was
to have included several talks, was
cut short, consisting merely of a
6hort rally, and a talk by Frank Le
pecier, president of the Iron Sphinx,
who urged that the freshmen devise
a definite plan for Saturday's games.
Music during the meeting was fur
nished by the Cheerleaders orches

Yesterday Coach Bearg and his scar

The injury jinjc is haunting the
trail of the Cornhuskers and the
workout on the Northwestern field
yesterday was a demonstration of
how badly the Huskers are crippled,

of the Kansas battle last week.

Effectiveness
"One's effectiveness will depend

chosen his vocation," said H. L.

and the effort expended in making
preparation for his particular work."
The speech was called "Vocational
Effectiveness" and was the fourth in
the series- of talks concerning the
state schools in the program of
American Educational Week being
given over the university radio.
Decide Early
"A study made in the connection
with the graduates of the Ord high
school," Mr. Cushing continued,
"led me to believe that the most suc

that knew a number of years before
they completed their high school

BE OPEN TODAY
Special Opportunity Given for
Upperclassmen to Get
Yearbook Pictures
SATURDAY LAST CHANCE
Hauck's and Townsend's studios
will be open all today for taking
junior and senior pictures. All
juniors and seniors who have not yet
attended to this matter are urged
to take advantage of the opportun
ity.
Saturday is t' last day which the
upper classmen may get their photo
graphs taken for the Cornhusker.
Contrary to custom of former years
this deadline will not be placed
ahead for delinquents. Students
should call at either the Hauck or
Townsend studios before 5 o'clock
Saturday.
NeffUccncc Tbi Yer
For some unknown reason stu
dents have been noticeably negligent
in this matter. The number of up
per classr.iun who have had their pic
tures taken is considerably below the
mark of last year, according to
Dwight Wallace, editor of the year
book. "The cost of the photograph is
slight in comparison to the benefit
derived. The Cornhusker is a mem
ory book invaluable to the student
after he has completed his college
career and it is incomplete without
some record of his personal activities
and picture," stated Mr. Wallace.
Work will begin on the fraternity
and sorority pictures a week from
Monday, November 21. It is hoped
that this section can be closed be
fore the Christmas holidays.
Organization pictures will be tak
en at the end of the month.

With the Olympics tomorrow, both
freshmen and sophomores are pre

tests at 1 o'clock. The boxing and
wrestling bouts will start in the col
iseum, while the play-by-play re
turns of the Pittsburgh-Nebraska
game are being given out ovr the
public address system operated by
Ray Ramsay, dramatic instructor.
The program has been completed.
but all of the tryouts have not yet
taken place. The events to be con
tested in the coliseum will last until
about 3 o'clock. At 3:15 the tue-
of-war will start in the stadium. This
relay will be run at 3:30 o'clock.
The relay team has not yet been
chosen. The tug-of-war and the re
lay each will mean 10 points for the
winner. The push ball events re
quires 75 men on a side and will
last for ten minutes.
Time Shortened
The free-for-all has been short
ened to a ten minute contest. A
hundred men will be allowed on
each side. These two events will
count fifteen points each.
The last and most important event
of the Olympics will be the pole
rush. This will last for five min
utes and will count twenty points.
The time has also been shortened on
this event so as to give the sopho
mores a more even chance. Those
who are , to contest in the boxing
bouts have been picked. In the 125
pound class, FusselL freshman, will
oppose Toohey, sophomore; in the
158 pound class, Wilson, freshman,
will oppose Poet, sophomore, and in
the heavyweight class Urban, fresh
man, will box Hurd, sophomore,
These men were picked from several
candidates for each class.
Battle Look Even
The wrestling tryouts have not yet
been completed. The program of
events will be over by 4:20 o'clock.
As the time for the Olympics ap
proaches the contest is beginning to
look like an even one. Many fresh
men are leaving town for the Olym
pics and some sophomores who in
tended to leave are staying to help
make the freshmen wear their green
caps until Christmas. With numbers
of freshmen leaving town the Olym
pics are going to be close.

HOCKEY CHAMPIONS
Win Came From Three Other
Clae; Sophomore Take
Second Place
The senior women claim the 1927
hockey tlile by virtue of three
straight wins over the underclassmen-
in the annual hockey tourna
ment sponsored by the Women's
Athletic association.
The sophomore women proved to
be worthy foes and gave the seniors
something to worry about. The
score of the senior-sophomore game
stood at a tie until the last few min
utes of play. A lucky shot through
a quickly discovered hole in the
sophomore defense gave the senior
team the point that eventually gave
them the championship. The sopho
more team came in for second hon
ors, having suffered defeat only be
fore the irticks of the champions.
The junior women are credited
with one victory, and that over the
freshmen. The freshmen were no
match for their experienced elders.
They showed their sportsmanship
however, by coming up smiling after
the third defeat.
To Miss Wagner, coach, and Win
ona Ayres, hockey manager, go the '
honor of having conducted a most
successful sport season.
