But Injured Only Slightly

Thn teenth stiet, a sophoinoie in
the I'niveisitv and a member ol Delta
Tan Delta liatemitv met with an ac
cident Wednesda.v evening at 10 o'clock
which might have resulted much more
seriously when he crashed the auto
mobile, which he wub driving, into
Thompson Fountain at Eleventh and II
streets Very slight injuries were suf
feied The machine was going at a speed
of twenty miles an hour, according to
Harey but the slippery pavement re
tlected the light from the arc directly
above into his eyes and made him lose
contiol of the automobile The front of
the machine was badly twisted out of
shape by the impact.
Three weeks ago a more serious acci
dent occurred at this place when John
Miller was killed following a fast
ride after a rainy evening such as
Wednesday. The Tact that this first ac
cident knocked over the main figures
of the fountain was one cause of the
latter affair as the fountain now lacks
its most conspicuous piece

ing that has been pi ad iced lor weeks
bv those in charge the patient prac
tice and constant intetest shown b.v
the cast, and the natuial talent that
formed the basis for the discriminate
selection ot the personnel combine to
make "The Matchmakers" a hit that
will have but a verv slight visible
touch of the amateur
The music wiitten by Miss Watkins
for the comedy is of such a popular
natuii that the music has already
seeped out thiough the medium of
Ihosi who .ue able to play bv ear and

sion on impioinptu audiences Re
heal sals have been held in the Tem
ple ev( ry night for several weeks past
with a double lehearsal on Saturday,

gruelling. The head coach of the ic
hearsals lnu let slip no opportunity to
instill interest and life into everj line
and action, and spirit and enthusiasm

The plot and setting of the "The
Matchmakeis" aie of such nature as
to be of appealing inteiest to college
people The hero of the pla is a
llaivaid student and his escapades
as impersonating unintentionally a
college professor and attempting to
take the place of the latter in de
luding a lecture on ail to a fash
ionable audience produce laughable
situation!-, of which the author has
taken lull advantage to make comic
interest

Cornhusker Sells Out All

Attempt to Get More
This .vein s sale of Cornhuskcis was
a recoi d bi eakei Fai more than ever
belore, lai moie than had been ex
pected, the l!U.! annuals went like hot
cakes On the campus alone i)27 books
w eie sold to students
To give exact figuies, ,'!)2 cloth
bound books and 5.15 leathei bound
hooks weieoideied Besides, 200 were
sold to (he t nlveisit) and 50 went to
advance mail oideis I'racticall !H)0
leathei bound hooks were oidered
Only 5011 leathei hound books had been
ordered ol the printeis, and it was
necesai to telegiaph the pnntei at
once for a change in the ordeis The
bad weather Wednesday ?indoubtedl
prevented many students tiom pur
chasing, for all da.v long there weie
inquiries in the office of Husm ss Man

he oideied Hovvevei, the entire edi
tion was sold, and all oideis were
l el used
Ktloits aie being made to have piinl
id 5d() extia nuinbeiH It is feared,
howevei, that this cannot lie done
Seveial sections have alieadv been
punted, and if the foi ms haw been
biokc n thev could not again beset up
except at a veiv heavy expense As
has often been stated in the Dally Ne
bi.iskan, it costs almost $.', apiece just
to print and bind a book in cloth, and
the sale of moie books at the pi ice of
$2 and $2 50 was not a inone.v making
imposition from the Cornhusker's
standpoint
In a dnj or two it will be known
whether more can be obtained at a
price which will enable more books to
he sold for the rock-bottom prices sub
sciibers have just paid. If more can
be obtained, then another oppoi (unity
will be given to those who have not al
ieadv subset ibed In the meantime,
positivelv no oideis will be taken
