Many football games have been
won in the last few seconds of play
jng but most of them were in the
movies. Those six to seven scores
in the last quarter, become rather
monotonous. Despite such a situa
, tion in the inevitable game in the
college picture, "The College Wid
ow," the story savors with the un
usual. It's the samei as the thousand
and one other college stories, except
that it is pictured from a different
and incidentally, a new viewpoint.
Dolores Costello, perhaps that
expluins its attractiveness, is Jane,
the daughter o fthe president of At
water college. The college is losing
its students and pretige, because of
the lack of athletes. Unless they
win the annual football clash from a
traditional rival the following year,
the president will be ousted. So
Dolores spends the vacation on the
campus's of other colleges and when
school starts in the Fall, she sum
mons with her love whispers, a con
gregation of athletes that would give
Coach Rockne something to brag
about. Billy Bolton, (Wm. Collier
jr.) is attracted to the college, by
the lovely Jane and enrolls contrary
to the wishes of his father. He is a
famous pig skin heaver and a valu
able addition to the team. Every
member of the team carries a picture
of Jane next to his heart, for she has
told them all that they are the only
"One." So it is for her, rather than
for the school that they play their
best and win every game of the sea
son. Just bef or3 the big game how
ever, they get "wise" and BCueine re

and now they threaten to balk unless
she makes an acceptable explanation.
Jane of course wins them all over
to the spirit of the cause and they
rally to save the president from dis
grace. During the" game, the elder Bolton
arrives and threatens to pull Billy
out of the game by his ear. Jane
proves her love and faith in Billy by
locking the old man in the dressing
room until after the game.
They win thei game, the president
is retained and Billy takes all the
honors, including Jane's heart and

Joy Sutphen's Players are putting
on a thrilling mystery play, "The
Donovan Affair" at the Liberty
theater this week. Becinnine with
the murder of a dinner guest in the
fashionable home of Peter Rankin
the mystery grows still deeper with
the stabbing of a second man which
is followed by the shooting of a
third.
The lierhts are turned off several

to the bewilderment of the affair
while thoroughly satisfying those
with a hankering for the mysterious.

"Love" was originally called
"Anna Karcnina." As they changed
the name, so they changed the story.
Tolstoi's devastating analysis of the
tragedy of illicit love is almost com
pletely made over. The only con
cession they have made to the au
thor, is the unhappy ending. The
finer side of the story has been com
pletely left out. The film comes to
us as a glamorous and picturesque
romance. But even in their new cir
cumstances, the characters retain
something of their original strength
and they are beautifully presented
and magnetically acted. John uil
bert and Greta Gurbo, after "Flesh
and the Devil," are who the fans
have been crying for and yon will
sympathize with them in hte roles
of two liunorable persons, who are

"It has always seemed to me that
one of the pleasantest ways to spend
an hour is in reading a story. The
short-story has become more and
more popular in the last twenty-five
years and there are so many var
ieties of short-stories that no matter
what a person's tastes in reading are,
he can find short-stories somewhere
which suit him exactly," Miss Ber
nice N. Halbert, instructor in Eng
lish, said over the University Radio
Tuesday, in her discussion of "Pleas
ant Hours With the Short-Story."
"The magazines are full of charm
ing stories. They vary all the way
from those intriguing tales of mys
tery whose interest lies in 'how the
story comes out to those more ar
tistic productions that deal with one
telling moment of consciousness."
Miss Ilalbert stated.
"Pure plot stories are on the
wane. Although people iwll always
be interested in detective and mys
tery stories, the best of our short
stories derive their interest not
from the happenings but from the
effect of the happenings upon the
characters. In other words, plot in
terest has changed to character in
terest." The modern short-story deals with
! people who are just ordinary people.
iWe often come face to face with our
selves on the pages. Miss Halbert
finds that Bess Streeter Aldrich
writes charming stories of this kind.
We rpfcognize in the "Cutters" or the
"Masons" the family next door, or
the one across the alley .
Edgar Allen Poe was an early fa
vorite of Miss Halbert, chiefly be
cause of his unparalleled skill in pro
ducing mood, but now she finds
greater delight in stories dealing
more with individualized characters
than in moods.
'We find in reading stories that
it is not th eextraordinary things in
life that furnish story material, but
the ordinary. One of the most
charming stories I have ever run
across is 'The Failure" by Charles
Caldwell Dobie." Miss Halbert de
clared. This is a story of a very
ordinary man who is obsessed by the
notion that he is a failure. His wife
believed in him, and the portrayal
of her friendship in this story is an
inspiration. The man's problems are

those that any one of us might face.
"Another story that has impressed
itself indelibly on my mind is "The
Preliminaries" by Cornelia A. P.
Comer. It contains in one terse ex
pression of one of its characters the
essence of life. It is this: "You are
safe only when you can stand every
thing that can happen to you. En
durance is the measure of a man.' "
"O Henry has written many
sUries with uplifting themes. I re
call "The Trimmed; LampJ" "The
Last Leaf," "The Gift of the Magi,"
and "A Midsummer Knight's Dream"
as outstanding. O Henry knew life
in practically every phase, but he
was not as great an artist in its pre
sentation as we wish he had been."
Bret Harte is another favorite of
Miss Halbert. He has that divine
gift of seeing the best in people. He
can even see a great deal of good in
people that seem to be wholly bad.
Of Bret Il&rte's stories Miss Hal
bert mentioned "Th Outcasts of
Poker Flat" arid "The Luck of Roar
ing Camp."
"Wilber Daniel Steele seems to
be the most outstanding short-story
writer of to-day. In variety of ex
perience and master artistry in the
creation of his stories he seems to be
unsurpassed," Miss Halbert said.
Proof of Steele's ability is the fact
that he has won so many first prizes
in short-story contests that judges
no longer give prizes to him.
The short-stories that delight Miss
Halbert the most are those that are
written by Katherine Mansfield, an
English writer. Her stories are of
the kind that has been developed
most reecntly. They have practical
ly no plot and deal with very small
bits of human life. Katherine Mans
field takes moments and happenings
that the ordinary person would not
even see and treats them with such
exquisite artistry that they reveal
tremendous significances of life.
Some of her stories that Miss Hal
bert has enjoyed are "The Fly,"
"The Garden Party," and "Bliss."
In concluding Miss Halbert said,
"Katherine Mansfield satisfies me,
and the short-story satisfies me as a
single rose or a single pearl in a
necklace satisfies me. For that rea
son when I find an hour, I read and
usually a short-story."
University News Service Sends
Campus Items Throughout State
Interesting happenings on the Uni
versity campus reach further than
the columns of the Daily Nebraskan
and the local city papers. Items of
general state interest are sent out
over the wires of the United and
Associated Press services, broadcast
by radio over KFAB, and distributed
to 400 newspapers scattered over the
state. This is accomplished by the
University News Service.
The School of Journalism co-operating
with students in journalism
form the Univeristy News Service.
Regular "beats" are assigned stu
dents in all parts of the campus, and
all items of interest, and feature
stories, are picked up and turned
over to the office in University Hall.
The articles are edited here and dis
patched. The idea of the University News
Service is to form a closer connec
tion with the University and the
people who support it. These people
are constantly reading of what we
do here on the campus. Larger daily
newspapers and press services are in
constant touch with the News Ser
vice, and the weekly dispatches and
feature stories are sent out to seventy-five
of the larger weeklies. Any
story of sufficient interest is sent out
to all four hundred weekly newspa
pers, and items of local interest are
often dispatched to the newspaper
of that locality.
The School of Journalism and its
students receive compliments on
their work, too. A letter has been
recently received from H. D. Leg-1
gett, President of the Nebraska Press
Association, saying that the service
is much appreciated by the newspa
pers throughout the state, and with
these stimulating appreciations to aid
them, the University News Service
continues its efficient work.

Teachers College Offers Opportunity
For Adults to Finish High School
"School days, school days,
"Good old golden-rule days."
The little red schoolhousee, so they
say, is fast disappearing in Nebras
ka, giving people the opportunity to
indulge in pleasant sentiment they
attach to the place where they
learned the "R's". But what about
the grown-up who never finished his
education, and has wanted to ever
since?
There is a place for him, even
now, W. H. Morton, director of
teacher training in the University of
Nebraska said in a radio talk here
last week and that place is a mod
ern, fireproof building on the edge
of the state university campus, the
Teachers College high school.
It is to this high school, whose en
rollment consists of regular high
school boys and girls, university men
and- women making up credits, and
adults, that the grown-up may come.
If there ever was a state high school,
this must be it, for twenty Nebraska
counties are represented in its en
rollment, and among its students are
many farmers and ranchers and
housewives who are making up for
what they lost in youth.
One farmer of central Nebraska, a
man thirty years old with a wife
and family, has finished harvesting
a 90-acre corn crop and will be one
of the pupils in the ninth grade next
term. Another ninth-grade student
is a married woman whose daughter
is almost ready to enter high school.
She intends to keep pace with her
daughter.
The high school, said Mr. Morton,
aims "to give an opportunity to Ne
braska people to gain a high school
education and to furnish a school in
which the University seniors and
graduates ray receive practical train
ing as teachers." But it is .no mere
practice-school. All teaching is un
der the direction of twelve special
ized supervisors, and only the most
competent University students are
allowed to have classes.
The student body of necessity is
limited, and is made up by applica
tions. But it is open to all exceja,
the loafer, said Mr. Morton. The
student body this semester numbers
187 regular high school puils and 50
University students who are making
up credits. Almost one-half of the
total enrollment live on farms.
The second semester of the high
school will begin January 30. A
special summer session will be held
for eight weeks beginning June 4.
Picture Appointments
Must be Made This Week
The campus organizations must
make their appointments to have
their pictures for the Cornhusker
this week, stated Dwight Wallace,
editor, yesterday afternoon. The
cost of having the picture taken
is four dollars which will be col
lected by the photographer at the
Campus Studio when the picture
is taken. All members should be
on time as the pictures will be
taken on time and no late arrivals
will get in on it.
