Farm House Skit Awarded
Honors at Coll-Agri Fun
By Keith Frcdcrickson
Tumpkin Bill Grammar School
Graduation," a skit presented by
the Farm House fraternity, won
the sixteenth annual showing of
Coll-Agri-Fun at the Collegq ac
tivities Building on Ag Campus
Saturday night. The Shooting of
Dan McGrew, by the Alpha Gam
ma Rho, was second. Judges, Paul
Gogen, Dale Ganz, and Logging,
announced the decision shortly
after the conclusion of the last
number of the program.
In the curtain act division, "The
Bridge Club," presented by the
YMCA, was judged outstanding
over a field of eight entries. Ami
kitas received second place with
their rendition of Hay Seed Ry
thym. Competition was extremely
keen in this department end sev
eral performances vied for top
honors.
The winning skit was a takeoff
on rural education with the setting
in a backwoods grammar school
on graduation day. Berl Damkro
ger acted the part of the matronly
school teacher. Several numbers
by a quartet of pupils displayed
school spirit, and kept the show
moving with schoolboy pranks be
fitting a country school.
Wild and wooly Northwest was
the theme of the second place skit.
"The Shooting of Dan McGrew"
by the AGR fraternity. Action
centered around a bogus U.N.O.
convention held in the north
woods. Doug Hemingway por
trayed our neighbors, the Russians,
very well by vetoing every thing
proposed by the conference. Dan
McGrew, the villain, turned out to
be a five foot character seemily
packed with vitamin pills.
A capacity crowd witnessed the
variety of acts and comedy pre
sented for their entertainment.
Stan Hayworth, as master of cere
monies kept things moving at a
lively pace with his jokes and
comments on the Individual per
formances. Campus gossip over a ladies
bridge table featured the YMCA's
winning curtain act. The ladies
also put on a very interesting
demonstration of a chorus line. A
Alaska Ready
For Statehood,
Grueiiing Says
Alaska's governor, Ernest Gru
ening, characterized Alaska as the
most misunderstood and conse
quently the most undeveloped
part of the continent when he
spoke to a capacity crowd at the
first university convocation of the
year in the Union ballroom Fri
day afternoon.
Statehood for Alaska is the
only solution to that territory's
problems, according to Gruening,
who was appointed governor eight
years ago by the interior depart
ment. Because Alaska has very few
modern roads, most of the inhabi
tants depend largely on air trav
el for transportation, the gover
nor said. One of the northern ter
ritory's greatest needs is roads,
but it has never been able to get
a sufficient share of the federal
road funds to facilitate this proj
ect. Altho Alaska's normal winter
climate is more temperate than
that of the northern United States
most people think of it as a land
of continual ice and snow. Its cli
' mate ranges from relative warmth
in the coastal area to the very
cold northern part which lies in
the Arctic circle.

season at 8 p. m., Wednesday,
Oca. 29, in the Temple theater.
Anderson's play is centered
about a New York stage rehearsal
of a drama which tells the life
story of Joan of Arc. The real
substance of the plot is the con
troversy between the director and
Mary Grey, the actress playing
Joan, as to the way her part
should be played.
Director, Actress Disagree.
Masters, the director, believes
that Joan would have made com
promises to 'achieve her ultimate

unfortunate Nebraska fumbles
saved the purple clad Kansas State
team from being soundly trounced.
Two Husker TD's Called Back.
Two Nebraska touchdowns were
called back because of penalties,
one a 56 yard punt return by Jim
Myers in the second quarter. The
officials ruled a tripping penalty
against Tom Novak wfcile the punt
was still in the air. giving the ball
back to the Wildcats on their 35
yard line.
Kansas State's opening kick-off
was returned by Dick Hutton to
the Husker 19. A penalty nulli
fied a first down for Nebraska,
and Pesck had to punt on fourth
down. The Wildcats could not do
anything with the ball, so they
punted right back to the Nebraska
35. Bill Mueller fumbled the ball
on the second play from scrim
mage, and Kansas State took over,
30 yard from pay dirt.
Partington Intercepts.
Big Mike Zcleznak cracked
down to the 20. and Bill Church
whipped a pass to the ten for a
first down. After Bryan failed
again through the line, Church
faded to pass again. This time
little Joe Partington leaped up
and snagged the ball in the end
zone for a touchback, and the
Huskers took over on their 20.
A fumble by Darwin Sales
trom on the 22 set up the Aggies,
but again they were unequal to
the situation. Charlie Toogood re
covered a Zeleznak fumble on the
twelve.
The game see-sawed the rest of
the quarter, with Nebraska backs
time and again making desperate
tackles to ward off what seemed
to be sure big gains for the Kan
sas team.
Pcsek Boots Long One. '
A long, low spiralling punt by
Jack Pesek that travelled 61
yards set the Wildcats back to
their 30, from where they were
soon forced to punt. Dick Hut
ton, the Auburn speedster, re
turned to the 48 of Nebraska and
the Huskers began their first
long drive for the goal.
A Dick Thompson-Alex Coch
rane pass put the ball on Kansas
State's 36 for a first and ten.

runners. From there, Thompson
