AT TEMPLE THEATER
Play Works Up to Effective
Climax During Last
Two Acts.
The tragedy "Camille" by Du

March 6, in the Temple theater, a
presentation of the University
layers. Although the play work
ed up to a strong and effective cli
max in the last two of the five
nets, the first part of the perform
ance was not up to the usually fine
calibre typical of Miss Alice H.
Howells' direction.
Augusta French, playing the ti
tle role of the Parisian demi-monde
ave a consistent but somewhat
unconvincing performance, altho
in tempo with the play. Her in
terpretation of the death scene
ave opportunity for her most
genuine work of the evening, and
was truly outstanding.
Herbert Yenne, doing his best in
a part for which he was hopeless
ly miscast, walked stiffly through
the role of the impetuous young
Armand, maintaining a submis
sively wistful demeanor.
One of the bright spots of the
performance was Lee Young with
his characterization of the amor
ously persistent Comte de Varville.
Although cast in a meager role he
captured the sympathy of the au
dience by the accuracy and deli
cacy of his portrayal.
Armand Hunter and Rhona
Smith were equally strong in their

Large Fossil Elephant Towers Far
Above His Brothers in Morrill Hall
Imagining a bony frame of a
mammal standing far above his
brothers in a Hall of Canines
should present no difficulty for the
conceiving powers of the average
individual, but trying to picture a
mammal which towers over his
lesser brothers in the Hall of Ele
phants in Morrill Hall offers a
problem, according to some of the
students who have viewed the re
mains of Archie, the largest mam
mal any region of the earth has
yet given up.
Even larger creatures may have
roamed the earth back in the days
when Archie was active, but he
remains today the giant of all land
mammals on record. Archie, whose
full and given name is Archidisko
don maibeni, rises over twice as
high as a six foot man.
The mighty circus elephants,
who claim the title of one of the
largest living group of mammals,
attain but two-thirds the size of
this recently uncovered giant.
Archie stands thirteen feet, three
and one-half inches in his "stock
ing feet." Formidable tusks pro
trude before him in a gigantic
arch of eleven fect and lour
HUSKER
GRIDSTERS
L
Prospects Are 'Rosy' With
Plenty of Veteran
Material.
With the checking out of equip
ment and a talk by Coach Bible on
Monday afternoon, spring football
practice got under way at the Ne
braska stadium, starting off four
weeks of drill. The time is to bo
taken up with the coaches getting
acquainted with the men and learn
ing their aptitudes, and positions.
Prospects for another line eleven
appear rosy, since there are veter
ans back for every position backed
up by capable reserve material and
former freshmen performers from
last fall. It is also expected that
there will be a heavier eleven on
hand than was had last year, so
that a few more powerhouse plays
may be used, which will mean that
a more diversified attack may be
thrown at opposition defenses.
Three men who played on teams
previous to last year's machine are
returning, Forrest McPherson, of
Fairbury, tackle; Henry Bauer ol
Lincoln, quarterback; and Bui I
Durkee, end, coming back for more
action in Scarlet togs. They all
played regularly on the 1931 outfit.
Durkee and Bauer should be in
strumental in solving the end and
signal barking problems which
have been confronting the Husker
mentor. Bernie Masterson per
formed very capably at quartet
back last season, but the mental
strain involved in playing that post
bothered him, so Bauer's return
means optimism.
Steve Hokuf left his end post to
be filled, while Lee Penney is to be
back for another fling at the grid
iron sport as a wing man. There is
plenty of quantity as far as the
Hokuf vacancy is concerned, but
the quality is doubtful, so there is
some cause for worry here. Veter
ans returning are Kilbourne, Joy.

years ago in Lincoln county about
fourteen miles north of -Curtis,
Neb., on the H. S. Karriger farm.
It was projecting from a wall at
the bottom of a small canyon. Mr.

of the bones had been pounded up
to furnish lime for the large flocks
of poultry on the Karriger farm.
When the discovery was made that
the bones were an unusual find
the remaining ones were dug out
and cared for with due apprecia

whether the new find should make
