WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1909. CAPTAIN TEMPLE. With tho election on tho first ballot or "Jack" Temple to captnln tho 1910 Cornhuskers tho Team of loyal No braskans as to a possible Bcrap over tho gridiron leadership, with attend ant bad results upon tho moralB of tho team, wont glimmering. Both tho manner In which tho soloctlon waB mado and tho character of tho man picked Indicate that the 1910 team will pull together harmoniously under a leader who Is capable of working courageously for tho Scarlot 'and Cream. "Ler.oy Temple has been a notable GIRLS-See Miili"W figure on the Nebraska Bqund ever sinco ho appeared for practice during his freshman experience. His ability was recognized and ho has steadily de developed until this year he played a game which won the commendation of sovere critics. His work has not been as sensational from the view of tho grandstand as that of somo other 'Players, but It has boon tho sort of effort which stands tho inspection of the mon who know. Temple is capable of good ball and ho plays with the roal spirit which Nebraska needs In her football representatives. Tho fact that the election of Torn-, pie was mado with tho harmony which characterized the choice Monday night may bo considered tho answer of tho "N" men to tho doubts which tho stu dent body have had during the past three weeks. Time and again the fear of another disastrous division haB been expressed. Tho 1909 "N" winners re alized this and they answered It In a manner which leaves no doubt of their loyalty to tho best Interests of tho team. It argues well for a unltod eleven next fall. THE DIRECTORY QUESTION. The university directory has Just been issuet, published by tho Y. M. C. A. It includes Beveral featured' not heretofore a part of tho Nebraska di rectory which are noticeable Improve ments. In vital respects tho book Is, however, lacking, In common with sim ilar publications of past years. It by no means comes up to the standard which shquld be, and could be, easily maintained.. Tho most essential point in which the directory is a failure is in tho lateness of Its a.pnearanqe. Why an interval of thrpo mo.nths Is necessary between tho ppppin qf school and tho pubHcatlcn o a directory qf student jb noi easily cpnjnrflnepau. The, tjme whenadrector is, psf. .needed Js yearly in tho year, , andjB, th,o tigg i CONVOCATION The Messiah j Qood Soloists 0 O00000000000000000000000 o as haB been IsBiied should bo gotten out not later than November 1, and It would seom ontlroly posslblo to pub lish It by October IB. If this cannot bo done with studont "workers, lot tho promoters of tho book hire somo ex porlonccd aid and chargo moro for tholr book to cover tho Increased ex pense. The Increased salo that would roBult from having a directory whon a directory Is needed and not two monthB behind time would surely mako up tho cost item. Tho present directory can probably rank ns ono of tho niopt Inexcusable examples of mechanical errors that is llkoly to bo found posing undor the guise of an authentic publication. If tho book had been hastily compiled thoro might bo boiuo excuse for error but with three mouths In which to do tho work, the purchasers might rea sonably expect something worth while. Yet largo numbers of tho 1909 direo tories havo pagos Inserted twice or left out entirely, to say 'nothing of minor typographical orrors. There are 132 pages in the book, which means that it has taken approximately ono day por page since school opened to compile the publlcatipn. Such a length of time should havo been used to advantage. Certainly tho directory Bhould bo put out In better ahapo and in hnlf tho time, or oIbo somo other organiza tion will be justified In stepping in and Budd 1415 O STREET running In opposition to tho present publishers. AT THE THEATER8. Orpheum Vaudeville. Tho bill this week at tho Orpheum Is usually good. Songs by tho Misses Ethol and Emma Hopkins, with elab orate stage setting, hoads the bill Bob Carl in and Qeorgo Clark, the Ger man comedians, hit the high spotB in their clog dancing, and Cook and Sto von8, Impersonating a negro and a Chinaman In a dispute over a laundry bill, dovoloped appoplexlcal tendencies in the audience. "Tho Lobbyist," a short play traveling with hurrlcans ve locity, although noisy, is making a hit with thoso who know. "Chasslno, tho podal and digital shadow graphjBt," In spite of tho alarming character of his title, man aged to please tho audience with a series of shadow pictures, performing with both hands and foot. Tho Reed Brothors put on somo delightful acro batics, and the roller skating dance of Earl Roynolds and Nellie Donegnn is of tho tall variety. All In nil, thoro la an absence of woak numbers on this week's bill. Lyric 8tock Company. In benuty and daintiness "Betty's Divorce" Is tho cream of plays.
