Gertrude Ederlc Finds Diversion At
Military Ball at Penn State College
State College, Pa. (Intercollcg-

lllhis is 8& of specialization and
champions, beyond all others, are ex
pected to keep within their assigned
bounds.
Gertrude Ederle, however, has a
mind of her own in regard to such
matters and Friday night varied her
extended vaudeville tour with diver
sion entirely new to her. She went
dancing in collegiate surroundings.
Greeted at the door of her dress
ing room shortly before her per
formance at the Richlieu theater in
Bcllcfontc, on Friday afternoon by
thrco unabashed Penn State stu
dents, the popular channel victor
was not kept long in doubt as to the
reason for the call.
"Hello, Trudy," smiled one young
man, "we just came over to invite
you to the big dance at the college
tonight."
"That 11 be great!" exclaimed Miss
Ederle, and forthwith her manager,
A. J. Clarke, self-styled as an inter
national theatrical manager from
England, was informed of her plans.
All previous arrangements were
cast aside, and after introducing her
two girl companions, Ethel and Ma
rion Baker, of California, Gertrude
dismissed the three suitors for her
attention and proceeded to dress for
her arpearance on the stage. Sud
denly she struck her head from be
hind the partly closed door and call
ed to the retreating students, "Don't
get any publicity going, I won't have
it. If there's anything I hate it's
publicity."
As the clock in Old Main tower
struck ten-thirty Gertrude Ederle
accompanied by her two diving as
sistants entered the bedecked armory
with the escorts and Manager Clarke
trailing behind as rear guard.
White Kaufman and his band was
holding the undivided attention of
some four hundred couples. Bujt
gradually a buzz spread around the

"There's Gertrude Ederle!" "My,
but isn't she small!" "Yeah, but she's
got a greater chest expansion than
Jack Dempsey, think of that."
The low heels tapped along the
floor unheedingly. The modest
brown silk dress swished becomingly.
AU manner of signals, ostentatious
and covert, were ignored as the trio
of heros ran the gauntlet of sighs,
attention-drawing coughs and admir
ing eyes.
At intermission Miss Ederle had
been accepted as one of the party
to such a degree that her passing on
the dance floor failed to elicit com
ment from any of the swaying cou
ples. "I'm glad they've forgotten me, or
gotten used to me, or whatever they
have done," confided the avoidcr of
publicity to a companion in the
booth.
"When this tour of ours is over
I'm going to teach school. Either
that or manage a tank somewhere.
Why I might even become a co-ed
here."
But then she laughed, and the
male contingent leaned back in their
chairs.'
The Penn State Military BS11 was
a success, for three young men.
almost nothing more than mere
mockery, and consists entirely in go
ing to church where one is verv like
ly to be turned out of a rented pew."
factory employees feel that it is
the industrial population who send
students to college, and that a stu
dent's college life is just four easy
years of escape from the cold reality
of a job.
"Transoms above two show wind
ows furnished the onlv ventilation in
the large rorfm in which we worked,"
Miss Shallcross stated, "and as a re
sult the ventilation and the air were
terrible. We had to rush and hurrv
all day long in order to complete the
work that was given to us each dav.
and new patterns that seemed so in
teresting when wo first worked with
them became dreadfully monotonous j
when we had worked on three, four, i
or even ten dozen of the same pat
tern all day long."
Carnival Program
Nears Completion
(Continued from Page 1)
scheduled to' start promptly at 7
o'clock Friday evening with the
championship inter-fraternity basket
ball game between the Kappa Sigma
and Sigma Thi Epsilon fraternities.
This will represent the final in the
basketball tournament which has
been going on for some time.
Following the opening cage tilt in
rapid succession will come other in
tramural athletics. The floor of the
Coliseum has been converted into a
veritable "three-ring-circus", the
first ring being a twelve-lap mile
track; the second a boxing and
wrestling ring; and the' third a bas
ketball court. Relays will be an im
portant feature of the Carnival.
There will be interfraternity relays,
and relays between companies of the
R. O. T. C. A special item on the
program, and one which is causing
considerable comment, is the Inter
sorority Relay.
Exhibition work will be done by
varsity and freshman track men. It
will consist of pole-vaulting, high
jumping and dashes. "Chief" Elkins
will demonstrate skill in high-jumping.
Clowns Will Entertain
According to James Lewis, a suf
ficient number of athletic features
have been provided, and a systematic
program arranged so that there will
he no delays from 7 until 10 o'clock,
when the dancing begins. Among the
special entertainment features are
"Bill" Fleming's clowns. According
to Fleming they will enter in every
athletic event, and also m the clog
ging contest which is being arranged
by "Bud" McBride. The clowns will
be the general fun-makers of the eve
ning and will keep everyone in a
good humor. The clowns will present
a number of skits which Fleming
guarantees will be something entirely
different from anything ever seen
around the University. These acts
will be kept secret until Friday eve
ning. Invitations have been sent to a
number of prominent persons in the
University and in Lincoln. Among
those to whom invitations to serve as
patron and patronesses have been
sent art Mr. and Mrs. Adam McMul
len; Mr. and Mrs. S. R. McKelvie;
Mr. and Mr. E. A. Burnett; Mr. and
Mrs. T. J. laompson; the deans of
the colleges in the University, and
the members cf the Board of Re
gents. A complete list of those who
have accepted wiil be published in
Friday's Daily Nebuaskan, which will
serve as a program at the Husker
Intramural Carnival.

When we realize that the factory
girl is not a type, but a real and in
dividual personality, we will be bet
ter able to understand her," Miss
Shallcross concluded.
Any girls who are interested in
the experiment may consult Miss Ap
pleby in Ellen Smith Hall. She can
give more detailed information con
cerning requirements, purposes and
opportunities of the work.
Talk in athletic circlet around the
Nebraska campus is all devoted to
om subject these days and that
the proposed Nebraska-Army foot
ball battle for next year. It is just
talk but it ha reached such an ex
tent that it looks as if the big game
will be realized.
Cornhusker followers in the na
tional capitol are pushing; hard for
the game and government authorities
in Washington favor the idea of a
Cornhusker-Army game for 192S.
The event will probably not be held
in Lincoln because the Army grid
dert have their traveling schedule
filled. Army has never traveled
farther than the Mississippi, Chicago
being their longest trek.
Well anyway it it going to be a big
boost for Nebraska and, the Missouri
Valley. It will be the first time in
history that a Valley tchool hat met
the Cadets and ttandt a chance of
bringing the West Point football
team to Memorial Stadium in 1929
for a return game.

hawker. At present it looks as if
Eznor Kellogg, a brother of Coach
John Kellogg, will represent Nebras
ka for he has beaten every one in his
class in the tryouts for the 115,
pound class. In the 125 pound class
Max Karrer has defeated Aubrey
Hurrn aid Kenneth Mallette who
were competing for the varsity posi
tion. A week from Saturday evening
Feb. 11, Nebraska will go to Norman
to engage the Oklahoma University
team in the wrestling matches. Ok
lahoma has just defeated Oklahoma
A. and M., winning three out of four
matches.
On the return trip the wrestlers
will meet the Kansas Aggies at Man
hattan, Monday evening, February
13.

Talks at Vespers
(Continued from Page 1)
Audrey Beales led the meeting.
The Industrial Experiment is held
to give a selected group of college
mVia who exDect to enter social work
an opportunity to understand, if pos
sible, the factors in the lives oi ic
tnrv eirls which make them react to
conditions in the way they do.
"When we seek to understand
others, we feel that we are under
stood better, and in this Industrial
Experiment one feels a very posi
tive gain in losing that little feeling
of being misunderstood," began Miss
Shallcross.
"The first three days of the ex
periment were spent in. deciding
what sort of jobs we would try to
get, how we would study conditions
in the factories, and in getting ac
quainted with the city and with each
other," shei continued. Last Bum
mer there were fourteen girls at the
experiment from colleges as far east
as Mount Holyoke and as far west as
the Universitty of Kansas.
"A factory girl's conversation
takes in just as wide a variety of
. . .nllpce erirl's conversa-
tion does," the speaker asserted, re
PHI SIGS WILL PLAY
A.G.R IN LAST GAME
Class B Basket Tourney Narrow

Are Conquered
The Greek Class B basket tourney
went into the final round when Al
pha Gamma Rho won 20-13 from Pi
Kappa Alpha and Phi Sigma Kappa
took Sigma Alpha Epsilon to a 20-12
cleaning in the semi-final round last
night.
All teams were quite evenly
matched. The Phi Sig game cen
tered around Trively who scored 18
of the 20 points. The Sig Alph
scores were evenly divided, with Mc
Bride as the main cog. Both teams
entered the game with determination
but the Sig Alpha team came out
from under a 12-2 lead at the half in
good shape, but at the close of the
game they lacked the final punch to
win.
The Alpha Gamma Rho's led
throughout the game though the
score was close at times. Presnell
played a nice game, dribbling
through and feinting past the guards
many times to score. The Pi Kappa
Alpha team was handicapped by the
smallness of several of their men,
which made good passing difficult.
Both teams tried hard, evidenced by
the half score, 8-6.

But this is the season of the court
game and as it is played in the Mis
souri Valley Conference. Yes, Ok
lahoma is still leading the pack by a
large margin and from the outlook
of things the tall Sooners will continue.
Vic Holt the tall Sooner pivot man
has swung into the lead for individ
ual honors in the scoring column,
taking the lead from "Ab" Wright,
Sooner Aggie forward. Holt is one
of the outstanding basketeers in the
conference and is playing his last
year with the Oklahoma.
