COMPETITION IS OPEN TO ALL
Members of Student Body Encouraged
to Give Vent to New Ideas by
Writing a Setting for Musi
cal Comedy.
The Kosmet Klub will again open
to University students its annual com
petition for the play to be produced on
the evening of April 25 at the Oliver
Theater. This idea was introduced
last year in oider to stimulate in the
University the writing of musical com
positions to be produced by the "klub."
In view of the fact that there are
at present being written several operas
to be submitted, and much interest is
being shown by the University public
at large, the "klub" will offer a prize
of $7f for the best manusi ripi of a
musical comedy written b) students or
faculty of the Univeisity, to be in the
hands of the "klub" by January 1, 19K5
Rules for the contest will be tew
The "klub" resen es the right in
case of the acceptance of a manuscript
to assume complete control of the
same for producing purposes, to re
duce, to add to, or to make such
changes as it deems fit
All manuscripts must be original
and submitted in the name of the
author.
TluP "klub" as a whole will sit as
judges to determine the relative mer
its of manuscripts submitted, and its
decision will be final. Announcement
will be made of the accepted manu
script as soon thereafter as definite
action is taken.
All unused manuscripts will be re
turned. Iast year the Kosmets produced
i in- uiiuumni, wim-ii inmi-u m in- i,I1HtruclorH. ABHOcsiutlon at Chicago,
decided success. It is felt that the ,H,1(1 ,n ( OI1Ile(.tion w m, th( National
success of last spring's production will
piovide quite an impetus for aspiring
oung authors. "The Diplomat" was
wiitten by Prof R D Scott of the de
partment of English literature, and
the music fop the same by C L Con
nor. Several men have already begun
work on manuscripts, and it is ex
pected that quite a few will enter the
contest.
The "klub" will hold its annual
initiation banquet in the course of the
next few weeks, and at that time defi
nite plans will be laid for the perform
ance next semester.

CORNHU8KER MACHINE WIN8 BY
ONE TOUCHDOWN.
STIEHM'S MEN NOT IN TRIM
8core Made After a Brilliant Pass to
Howard and a Quarterback Run
by Towle Purdy Hurt
Toward Finish.
Nebraska s first game with a MIs
houi I Valley Confeience team wa
played on Rollins Field last Saturday
and ic suited in u 7 to 0 lctoiy for tho
Cornhuskets As the Unhertitty MIs
sourlan sas, It was the best game
seen on that field for man) yeais Tim
Tigeis fought, and fought hind, for the,
entlie game, but they lacked a scoring
machine, that combination of winning
plays and the abllil) to carry thorn
out, that the CoinhuskeiH hac worked
up In the last few eais
The da) was almost Ideal for foot
hall, but the field was sllppei), espc
( lall) aiound the east goal, where tho
sod had been taken up for the baseball
diamond A numbei of times when It
1()()k(.(1 alost (ettain that a Coinhusk-
M would g-t iwa) on an end run his
foot would m p In dodging the taut op
ponents ,u he would fall
The Tigers opened the game with a
rush and pushed Nebraska into thflr
own terntoiy, wheie the) btayed tho
lii st quart ei Missouri had three
chances to score, but failed nt tho
critical times, and from then on tut!
game became a defensive one for them.
Nebraska's failure to run up a lorger
score Is accounted for by a number
of leasons besides the slippery field.
The trip to Columbia is very long and
disagreeable, over poor roads and
with a number of changes. Some of
the Nebraska phi) em were still both
ered by their injuries, and although
the) played hard, they couldn't take
the chances with their weak limbs thut
the) otherwise would have done.
The Cornhusker machine didn't got
together and work right until near tho
end of the game The line is often
blamed when the team falls to make
file necesBar) gains, but it requires tho
perfect working of both line and back
field for the plays to succeed. Somo
of tho holes were not taken advantage
of by the backs, and sometimes tho
hole was not opened up quickly enough
so neither department can be criti
cized. The Mlsbourl team went Into tho
game with a terrible determination to
win, and the result of their hard fight
1b Bhown by the low score the Nebras
ka team made. Willi the help of the
splendid cheering the rooters gavo
them they played the best game a Mis
souri team lias played for quite a
while, and Nebraska could not be ex
pected to walk away with the game.
The Nebrusku interference was
much superior to that of the Missouri
team, and made the end runs and runs
from the punt formation possible.
