IOWA CITY, Nov. 21 Bernie
Bierman's slick-running Iowa Sea
hawks convinced their followers
today that they were one of the
nation's topmost teairfs by slam
ming a crippled Nebraska eleven,
46-0, in a great offensive display.
Punching over for two touch
downs in the first, third and fourth
periods, the rampant Seahawks
utilized superb blocking and pro
fessional ball-toting to undermine
the injury-wrecked Husker team.
Nine Plays.
Nine plays after the ref had
toted his opening message the
Seahawks possessed six points.
Swisher, Jankowski, Evashevski
and the powerhouse Seahawk
backs simply had too much of
fensive "oomph" for the Husker
line to hold.
A pass from Fisher to Evashev
ski capped another first-period

India Traveler
To Speak at Ag
College Dinner
Twenty years of traveling
through India, teaching, and being
entertained at Indian courts, has
given Mrs. Mason Olcott, guest
speaker for the Ellen H. Richards
dinner Tuesday evening, a reaJ
background for her topic, "India
and Her Princes." The privilege
of meeting Ghandl, personally, has
been hers, as well as being ac
quainted with many Indian lead
ers. Her ideas of the present
situation and formulation for
those of the future are therefore
well founded.
Mrs. Olcott'i life In India began
with an appointment to the prin

drive for the second tally. Svend
son failed to duplicate his initial
successful conversion and the
count stood 13-0.
Former Ohio State ace, Jim
Langhurst, sparked the drive for
the sole Seahawk touchdown in the
second stanza. After packing the
leather over a majority of the ter
ritory to pay dirt, Langhurst tal
lied on a seven-yard end sweep.
Wells converted, leaving the half
time count 19-0.
33-0 at Third.
Most sensational play of the
fray occurred three plays after the
third period started when Bobby
Swisher, former Northwestern
great, galloped 80 yards behind
perfect interference for fourth
score. Fact that not a hand
touched Swisher during his jour
ney reflects the effective Sea
hawk blocking. Svendsen's conver
sion attempt was partially blocked,
26-0.
Second third-period score was

Heine as "Spiff," the college
Amazon, handsome in an athletic
way, clever without half trying;
Betty King as "Drizzle," frail and
intense, is a poet on the wing,
traveling the road from near sui
cide to near genius; Dorothy
James, "Lovey," the class beauty,
the girl with the Body-by-Fisher
look; Pat Beadle, "Minnie," a col
lege smoothie but not silly, a
calculating woman; Lois Neu
mayer, "Maggie," is left of left
but genuine about it, a dynamic
personality and utterly honest;
Janet Mason, "Rosey," the daugh
ter of an intellectual and conscious
of it, the college oracle; and Jean
Buckley as "Jinx," the eternal
straggler, with a Southern drawl.
The production is unde" the
supervision of Joe Zimmerman, in
structor in the department of
speech, and is staged by Nan

Evolving the themes of their
skits around the present war, the
majority of the participating fra
ternities kept in step with the
spirit of present day college life
and activity. Because of the rul
ing of no sororities participating
in the show, a departure from the
years past, the program included
an all male cast. To allow for the
vacancy left by the skits of the
sororities four more fraternities
were included in this year's show.
The Winner.
The championship skit, entitled
Chocolate Sunday, presented by
members of Alpha Tau Omega,
under the direction of Don James,
depicted humorously the nightlife
of a Negro cabaret. Coordinating
humorous Negro dances and antics
with some of the more popular
songs of today the audience judged
this skit the best by registering
their vote through the applauses-graph.
Other outstanding skits were
presented by members of Sigma
Nu, Phi Kappa Psi, Sigma Alpha
Epsilon, Sigma Chi, Phi Gamma
Delta, Sigma Alpha Mu and Alpha
Sigma Phi fraternities. All skits
were the product of the individual
fraternities and were adjudged the
best for presentation by members
of Kosmet Klub earlier in the year.
Acting as matser of ceremonies
for the afternoon's performance
was Romlo Soldevilla, senior in
the college of arts and sciences.
The show was the 3lst annual
performance of Kosmet Klub, the
first venture dating back to 1911.
