COLOR SCHEME DEVISED
Red, White and Blue Will
Feature Coliseum
Decorations.
Arrangements ire rapidly being
completed for the Militnry Ball
which will be held this Friday at
the Coliseum as the inaugural of
the formal season. Opie Cates
and his twelve-piece orchestra,
inder the management of the
Music Corporation of America has
been contracted for the affair.
Patriotic decorations of red,
white and blue are being devised.
A sky-blue ceiling will be hung low
over the dance floor and in its cen
ter will be the largest national flag
In the world. The flag measures
76x158 feet. The balcony edge will
be concealed by a red and white
wall which will bear the R. O. T.
C. insignia, chosen by a contest
held last year. Red and white
placques picturing General Persh
ing and other military figures will
be placed in alternating arches.
Claude Gillespie, cadet major,
and chairman of the orchestra
committee, said: "We have spent
quite a bit of time In selecting an
orchestra for the ball. We con
sider orchestras through several
sources and from all parts of the
country. We wanted to be sure of
getting good music for the event."
Oury Denies Rumor,
Col. W. H. Oury, commandant of
the R. O. T. C. unit, denied that
the department had taken coercive
measures to compel the students
to wear their basic uniforms to the
military ball. "We can't decree
anything of that sort," he declared.

tuxedo and as to that we do not

Industrial Staff Learns of
Y. W. C. A. Employment
Bureau Work.
Miss Clara Miskell, employment
secretary of the Y. W. C. A. spoke
to the industrial group Monday
afternoon at Ellen Smith hall, dis
cussing the unemployment situa
tion as it exists in Lincoln and the
work that the Y. W. is doing in
placing the 300 job applicants who
register at the Y. W. C. A. every
month.
Her department handles domes
tic service only, yet that in itself is
becoming a serious problem, the
speaker said. "Women either re
fuse to have domestic help now or
will not pay the standard amount
of wages," she declared.
This standard as maintained by
the Lincoln Y. W. C. A. is $10 a
week for the Inexperienced girl,
and $5 a week for the inexperi
enced worker. During the present
economic crisis, however, the ex
perienced girl in her anxiety to ob
tain a position will work for the
minimum amount of wages, thus
making It very difficult to main
tain that standard, Miss Miskell
explained.
"We would much rather work
with the young girls," Miss Mis
kail said, "because they are more
easily adapted to changing condi
tions. Yet despite this fact a large
percentage of the women who ap
ply to us for positions are close
to seventy years old.
At the conclusion of Miss Mis
kell's talk, she was questioned by
various members of the group on
current problems regarding unemployment.

WILL SHOWJHAW DRAMA
'Applecart' to Be Presented
In High Auditorium'
Thursday.
Just one more day until the fa
mous "Applecart," with its cargo
of fun and splendid wit appears in
Lincoln. It will be shown at the
Lincoln high school auditorium
Thursday. It Is not often that a
production as fine in every way as
this play done by George Bernard
Shaw is seen on a Lincoln stage,
and it is an opportunity that can
be afforded everyone.
As a special concession to uni
versity students, Mrs. Walter J.
Gardner, local manager of the
show, has made the price for stu
dent tickets seventy-five cents.
So much favorable comment has
been made about the play every
where it has been shown that Lin
coln people feel themselves most
fortunate in being able to secure
the piece.
Boyd Irwin, English actor of
note, and the charming Ann Ber
ryman are to have the leading
roles in what even George Bernard
Shaw himself claims to be his mas
tcrpiece.

AIR CAN DRAMA
CHOSEN AS NEXT
'Beggar on Horseback' to
Be Presented as Play
For January.
RAMSAY TO PLAY LEAD
Connely and Kaufman Are
Authors of Modern
Comic Realism.
"Beggar On Horseback," a mod
ern American expressionistic
drama by George S. Kaufman and
Marc Connelly will be presented by
the University Players during the
week Jan. 11 to 16 as their next
production, Charles Hoff, business
manager, announcea yesieraay.
Ray Ramsay, alumni secretary
and popular Players actor, has
been chosen for one of the leads,
Hoff said. Other members of the
cast will be named by Miss H.
Alice Howell, director, this week.
The play, according to Richard
A. Cordell who includes it in his
collection of "Representative Mod
ern Plays," uses "novelties of form
and resorts to an often breath tak
ing subjectivity to throw a reveal
ing light on the complexities of
American life."
"For the first time," Cordell
says, "the authors have cast aside
the trammels of realism, and
plunged into a breath taking ex
travaganza that amazes as much
by its thick coming fancies as it
diverts with its satire and exag
geration. The most faithful real
ism could not catch the spirit of
America better than does this
series of mad dream pictures."
New Type Achieved.
Kauffman and Connelly have
been contributors to the stage for
over ten years since their first
partnership play, "Dulcy," was
presented in Indianapolis. They
have achieved a new type of
comedy for America, a type that
gets the stage away from the
stock situations and trite "funny"
sayings.
They achieve their humor by ac
curately reporting the humorous,
and only once in the "Beggar On
Horseback" do they use exag
geration to gain their end.
The play itself emphasizes the
triviality, the materialism, the
class worship of success in Amer
ican life, our comic opera murder
trials, our tabloid news sheets
brought down to moronic level.
The emphasis is so placed and the
play so written that in the end it
is laughter and not scorn that the
drama excites.

evening, "but they are all wrong.
United States needs disarmament

Charity Came Looked Forward to as Huskers' Chance

Western Alumni Plan Big Reception and Celebration
In Mile-High City; Squad Looks Good in Its
Outdoor Practice Tuesday Night. ,
BY MUKLIN SPENCER.
Nebraska's charity game with Colorado Aggies Saturday,
Dec. 5, at Denver will decide much more than the comparative
strength of the two teams. It will prove to Nebraska coaches
and followers whether the Huskers will be able to come back
after taking a decisive defeat at the hands of the Pitt Panthers.
From this standpoint, it will be the most important game on the
flRSI INSTALLMENTS
February Marks Last Chance
To Purchase Annuals,
Mousel States.
PRICE GOES TO $5.50
First installments on Cornhusk
ers purchased on the installment
plan are now due, according to
Russell Mousel, business manager
of the yearbook. The payment of
one dollar Is to be made at the
Cornhusker office in University
hall.
"Books may still be purchased"
Mousel said, "but the down pay
ment is two dollars, and the bal
ance, three dollars and fifty cents
must be paid before the book is
delivered. This makes a total of
five dollars and fifty cents. The
five dollar price is still good if
cash purchases are made.
"Books can be obtained, however,
until the February sales drive Is
finished. After that it will be im
possible to get one of the 1932
Cornhuskers, because the order to
the printer must go in then and we
are going to order lust we numrjer
of books that have been purchased.
This is the same plan that was
used last year, and is the only way
to insure against loss by having s
number of extra copies left at the
close of the year," he pointed out.
"Watch the box in the Daily Ne-
braskan called 'At the Studio' for
appointments for group pictures of
organizations. Also, we would like
to have the students who have
their picture proofs bring them in
so we will know which picture
they want us to use," Detrick, the
editor of the annual urged.
"I am trying to talk the studios
into reopening the Junior and the
senior pictures for a few more
days because these sections were
not full when they set the closing
date, and I will have an announce
ment to that end within the next
two or three days," he said.
Coaches Humorous
Slant Described in
Motional Magazine
Turning out good football teams
is a serious business in this day
and age, but the mentors have
time for their chuckles just the
same, according to an article,
"The Coaches Confess," published
in the January issue of a national
magazine.
Almost a new slant is given on
the old game when leading com. hen
like Stevens of Yale, Zuppkc of
Illinois, Warner of Stanford, Kerr
of Colgate, Bible of Nebraska.
Cavanaugh of Fordham, Ingwer
son of Iowa, and Madigan of St.
Mary's tell their funniest experi
ences. As an example, Coach Zuppke
tells this one:
"Just before the game I said,
'Nobody comes out until he is
dead."
"This ultimatum apparently had
good effect and it wasn't neces
sary to make a substitution until
late in the last quarter when one
of the regular liuesmen was dis
abled. Our trainer went out and
worked on him but it was clear he
would have to leave the game.
"I hurried out a big, inexperi
enced substitute. He went over to
the place where the disabled line
man was still stretched out. bent
over bim and then came running
off the field back to the bench.
"Why didn't you stay out
there?' I yelled at the sub.
" "Why, Zup, you said nobody
left the game but a dead man and
he's still breathing!' "

The committee will consider

TO VINDICATE ITSELF
vscneauie mis year.
coacn Dana x. Bible in discuss-
ing the game said, "I am glad that
Nebraska has this scheduled game
yet to play. It will be a good test
after that 40 to 0 defeat last
week."
Nebraska spirit is at low ebb
and it will be the problem of
Coach Bible to raise this spirit
until it reaches sufficient height
to overcome the Aggies.
Colorado Aggies have been com
ing along fast since their first
game of the season when they lost
to Kansas 27 to 0, and the game ia
expected to be more or less of a,
tossup. The Aggie team ia the
strongest turned out by Coach
Harry Hughes in the last five
years.
White Promises Threat
Aggies have in "Red" White one
of the outstanding backs in the
conference and one who ia slated
to be tough for the Huskers. Whit

selection. The Colorado line will
average 184 pounds and has given
trouble to every team they have
met this season.
Coach Bible will spend all week
in offensive drills. Due to the un
certainty of Nebraska's opponent
until Thanksgiving time, there haa
been no scouting of any Aggie
games, and the Huskers will have
to depend upon their offense to
carry them through.
The appearance of a Nebraska
team in Denver for the first time
since 1909 will be a signal for a
rousing reception by Cornhusker
alumni of Colorado and Wyoming.
Railroads have given special rates
within a radius of 200 miles, and
both Nebraska and Big Six alumni
will sit in a special section re
served for them on the 50-yard
line.
Alumni Make Plans.
Ralph D. M. Otto, chairman of -the
publicity committee for the
Nebraska alumni club at Denver,
is making extensive arrangements
for the reception of the Huskers in
Denver and the entertainment of
alumni. The Husker squad will
have their headquarters at the
Brown Palace hotel.
A banquet and dance is being
given at the Brown Palace Satur
day evening following the game in
order to give the Nebraskans an
opportunity to meet former class
mates. The dance is scheduled to
be an informal affair with a fine
levied on anyone appearing in
formal dress. The price for the
Danquet and dance is 11.50 per
person.
The question of the Nebraska
band going back to the game will
be settled today, John K. Selleck
stated, it is hoped that the organ
ization will be able to make the
trip to provide extra spirit to the
game. If the band makes the trip,
a low railroad fare is expected to
be offered.
Outdoor Practice Tuesday.
Good weather Tuesday night
permitted the Cornhuskers to have
the first outside practice for two
weeks, and Memorial stadium was
the scene of much activity as the
Huskers began preparation. Line
men were shifting and charging up
and down the partly snow covered
field, backs were passing and kick
ing the pigskin from one end to
the other, and the ends could be
seen grouped around Coaches Bible
and Day for a conference.
Because it has been impossible
to scout any Colorado Aggie
games, practice this week will con
centrate on the Nebraska offense.
After the warming up exercises
last night, quarterbacks ran back
a few punts through the frosh be
fore the dummy scrimmage began.
Brown showed that he haa not yet
lost the knack of making those
long sideline runs and was not
downed until he was almost to
cross the goal line.
In the first short period of
scrimmage against Ed Weir'a
freshmen, Brown. Sauer, Master
son and Paul were in the backfield,
and the line was composed of Dur
kee and Joy ends; Hulbert and
Rrhmitt, tackles; Adam and
Bishop, guards; and Ely, center.
Later, the same line with the ex
ceptions of Justice and Koster at .
guards, and Petz at Joy's end, was
used to demonstrate some effective
charging. For the remainder of
the scrimmage the varsity men al
ternated at their positions and it
was seen throughout that Coach
Bible's campaign for harder and
faster playing was being put into
effect.
It is crobable that such men as
Staab, Swansea, McPherson, Man
ley, and others will see much ao
tlon at Denver Saturday. Several
players are lf king but a few min
utes of making tbelr letter and will
undoubtedly be given that oppor
tunity in this game.
