November.
By Gene Garrett.
The program of the ninth week
ly school of music convocation,
presented yesterday afternoon by
Misses Marguerite Klinker and
Frances Morley of the piano fac
ulty, exhibited good technique and
excellent co-ordination. Handel's
"Musctta," which opened the con
cert, was lively and rippling in
melody, displaying delicate shad
ings of tone and tempo. "Varia
tions on a Theme by Joseph
Haydn," a Brahms arrangement,
presented a melodic theme notable
for its quick changes in tempo and
force.
To start the second part of the
program, Misses Klinker and Mor
ley, played two movements from a
suite bv Debussv entitled "En
blanc et nolr" (In Black and
White). The first movement is said
to have been Inspired by the play
"Romeo and Juliet," the other by
an old French poem. Both move
ments were conspicuous In featur
ing dissonance as part of the
theme. A "Piece in B minor" by
Ropartz, whose first chords resem
bled the opening phrases of a pop
ular song, concluded the second
portion of the recital.
For the final group of number,
"Fuller and Warren," a cowboy
tune by Brodsky and Triggs,
served as Introduction. Tho it bore
little resemblance to the ordinary
conception of a cowboy tune, the
melody was well played and was
lively enough to be interesting.
"Spiritual and Blues" by Tansman,
was more In the style which the
title would Indicate. Its minor
mood and rhythmical time made
possible some excellent Interpreta
tion. "Rltmn," from "Danscs An
dalouses," finished the afternoon's
program In a quick, light manner.
Only a medium sized group of
students was on hand when the
program opened. At the time the
first number was started, all the
Records fell like hail this year
as the Huskers battled one of the
stiffest schedules in the history of
the school. Two hundred fifty
thousand, four hundred forty-nine
persons watched the Nebraskans,
whose final national rating was
11th, perform this year. Thus by
crowd ratio the Huskers were,
perhaps not the top team in per
formance, but among the best in
the parlance of box office appeal.
At Pittsburgh three weeks
ago, one of the largest mobs to
assemble in arty arena broke a
Husker record.' Numbering 71,
267, the crowd was the largest
ever to watch a Nebraska ag
gregation in action. Two marks
were shattered on the Lincoln
field. The fan count at the Min
nesota fray revealed that crowd
broke the opening crowd record
and also stood as the best home
crowd thus far. However, the
latter record stood only shortly,
for 39,360 jammed into the
Memorial bleachers to sky
rocket the attendance record to
one formerly believed impossible.
Many speculations have been
made as to what the all season
home attendance mark might have
been had the weather been more
clemant for the Oklahoma and
Iowa games.
Tho the crowd numbers sound
fine, think, dear reader, what l.e
figure would sound if written in
dollars and cents, calculating it at
an average of $2.50 per person.
How much money is $10 and $10,
mama?
Sigma Nu, Acacia, and Sigma
Alpha Epsilon advanced into the
semifinals of the Intramural water
polo tournament Tuesday night
when they defeated Beta Theta PI,
the Chi Phi's, and the A.T.O.'s re
spectively. Phi Kappa Psi gained
the other semifinal berth when
Delta Tau Delta and Pi Kappa Al
pha were eliminated for not ap
pearing for their first round game.
The semifinals are scheduled for
tonight and wll find the Sigma
Nus opposing the Acacians and the
Phi Psi's meeting the Sig Alphs.
Sigma Nu won the right to meet
the Acacians when they defeated
Beta Theta Pi 3 to 0 in a tignt de
fensive struggle. Austin, center,
scored all 3 points to gamer high
point honors for the winners. The
defensive work of Dobson, Sigma
Nu goalie, also deserves special
mention. For the Betas, Tassie and
Paul looked best.
Place Paces Acacians.
Place, center, scored 9 points to
lead the Acacians to a 13 to 10 vic
tory over the Chi Phi's while the
defensive work of Smith, goalie,
also featured. Lyons, forward
scored 8 points to lead the Chi Phi
attack. Spencer, a guard, looked
good on defense.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon looker
good defensively in whitewashing
the A.T.O.'s 6 to 0. The Sig Alpha
attack was headed by Fate, for
ward, who scored 5 points. Chris-
tenson, goalie for the Chi Phi's,
looked good defensively. Cramer,
Horan, and Petsch showed up best
for the A.T.O.'s.

One of the most complete radio
coverages of a military ball In the
history of the event Is promised
when Joe Sanders swings out in
the coliseum Friday night. KFOR
and KOIL will devote time to de
scription of the ceremonies which
will include the grand march and
the presentation of the honorary

Coach Sclmlto's Milers
Run Time Trial Workout
Nebraska's milers ran a time
trial yesterday afternoon to see if
they had lost any of their speed
and endurance since running at
Missouri between halves of the
Kusker-Tlger football game. Best
time was made by Wilson An
drews with 4:37.3; next came Al
Kuper with 4:44.5. John Brownlee,
second in the Big Six outdoor last
year, did not run because of s
foot injury.

this week, go to the place where

That's final. Last year our at
tainment was ninth and we didn't
lick Minnesota.
We here In the corn fields will
go Into mid-winter screaming
about the injustice of our place
ment. Somehow it doesn't stand to
reason that the team that defeated
the Nordics, held Pitt scorlcss for
three periods, walloped Indiana,
downed Iowa, and won the Big
Six should finish at a mere 11th
place. Or are we wrong?
Pitt, of course, was first, Cali
fornia, second, Fordhnm, third,
Alabama fourth, MINNESOTA
fifth, Villanova sixth, Dartmouth
seventh, Louisiana eighth, Notre
Dame and Santa Clara ninth and
tenth.
After that comes Nebraska. We
would like to ask two pertinent
questions. (1) How come? (2)
Who is Villanova?
Kansas names George Staple
ton, guard, as their honorary
grid captain of 1937. Tho he
was not a stando.it against the
Huskert, he played consistent

Cher Monsieur Benny Goodman
(Translated from the French; not
by me. tho: "I am a member of
the Hot Club de France and,
therefore, a worshipper of your
wonderful music. 1 am writing you
because I thought it might interest
you to know that our Austere
Academic Francaise, which com
prises in its small membership the
literary and scholastic aristocracy
of France, has recently spent
some time studying your hot
records. The occasion was a de
bate on whether to include the
American word, 'swing.' in the
French dictionary now being com
piled by the Acadeniie. Most of
the intellectuals in the body
wanted, first, to know what swing
was. and a committee of three was
annotated to Investigate. Your
records of 'I Found a New Baby'
and 'Swingtime in the Rockies'
were used as examples. I do not
know what the committee reported
back to the Acadeniie, but 1 doubt
whether this conservative body
will admit 'swing' to its diction
ary." Raoul Grandln, Taris,

Dec. 14 Following
Practice End.
Groups who wish to enter teams
in the W. A. A. badminton intra

These teams will be made up of
the four outstanding players se
lected from all groups participat
