OMAHA VS LINCOLN
ALL THE PLAYERS EXCEPT TWO
LEARNED GAME IN EUROPE.
OMAHA WINS, SMALL SCORE
Game Requires Dexterity More Than
Science Not a High School Game
as Many Imagine Two Forty
Five Minute Halves.
The much looked for soccer gamo
was played on Nebraska Field yester
day afternoon by teams representing
Omaha and Lincoln. The two teams
were of eleven men each. Most of
them were native Englishmen, two or
three-wereJDanes, and two Americans.
All but the Americans learned tho
sport in Europe. A fair-sized crowd
saw the sport. But now to tho game.
It is not half as bad as we imagined
It would be. It calls for vigorous work
on the part of every player. The goal
tender has the chance to do tho most
loafing, although ho once In a while
has to buzz around like a button on a
smokehouse door. The men who
carry the brunt of tho battle are the
centers and right and left backs.
They are mixed up In every play.
'Many have thoin?linirat-ltrwns-Tather--
of a lady's gamo. Just dismiss that.
There is plenty of contact and a two
to one bigger chance to get one's shins
skinned than In football. Thefo Is no
calling of signals. In many ways it
seems to lack science and to depend
upon the dexterity of tho players indi
vidually rather than collectively. The
game is divided Into two halves of
JtottyJlyjLjiiInutes eachLAt tho end
of halves the teams change goalsT
To our surprise, It Is no easy matter
to score. Even when the ball Is
worked down to the goal, the offensive
team might be robbed of a goal by a
foxy goal tender. Friday afternoon
the Omaha men outshone tho Lincoln
team, winning by the score of 4 to 2.
KOSMET PLAY STORY RE
PEATS MEXICAN SITUATION
By Strange Coincidence Ernie Graves
Writes Plot Which Nearly
Comes True.
One of tho peculiar coincidences
connected with the Kosmot show Is
tho fact that the plot,""vritten long
last summer, is almost Identical with
the present situation between Presi
dent Huerta and the constitutionalists
in Mexico. Tho question that now
arises is, Was this an accident, or is
" .ErneSt Graves -some-sorfe-of a scet2
If ho Is, it's time for hi mto quit his
-job with Papa Dales, and jjo into tho
fortuno-telllng business.
In "El Presldente," tho native presi
dent of a South Sea island is up
against a real "greaser" revolution.
To make matters worse, ho Is out of
funds, or In other words, ho is broke.
About tho time he begins making lovo
to an American heiress who la taking
a Bummer vacation on his little island,
two young Americans appear on tho
scone, hot on her trail. They begin
plotting with the peons against tho
old ruler; ho gets wise, and the real
trouble begins.
It's a poppy little plot and the music
is without doubt some of tho best
that the Kosmot Klub has ever pro
duced. Those who have heard Miss
Bartlett's muBlc are enthusiastic over
the results of such a prizoas tho dub
offers in stimulating real talent.

ENGINEERS MADE FIRST
INSPECTIONS YESTERDAY
Electrical Students Went to Mllford
Other Engineers Visited
Local Plants.
Tho engineers of tho Electrical de
partment of tho University made a
separate trip of Inspection today. Tho
trip to Milford was made in automo
biles and the hydro-electric plant was
the seat of interest. This plant is
three miles ut of Mllford and sup
plies electricity to several of the
towns In the surrounding territory.
Charles Holtz, who graduated from
the University last year, was ono of
the principal characters connected
with tho Installation of this plant.
The engineers of tho other depart
ments spent yesterday morning in
specting the Havelock shops. This in
spection included tho machine shops,
the boiler house, tho blacksmith shop
and the power plant. Tho concrete
plant was a spot of interest, for large
piles, ranging from fifteen to seventy
feet, wjbtq made there. "The seventy
foot pile," says a professor, "Is of ex
traordinary longth and as largo as
they are made." Fence posts and sev
eral kinds of bridge floor slabs nro
also made In this plant.
In tho afternoon tho engineers vis
ited tho plant of tho Gas company,
tho plant of tho Electric Light com
pany and tho Burlington round house.
Tho Interlocking yards of the Burling
ton railroad were voty Interesting and
instructive.
The trip to bo made today will in
clude the properties of tho Cushman
Motor Works, tho Beatrice Creamery
Ice plant, the Lincoln Traction Com
pany plant, and tho city water plant.'
A-fow days ago the sonlorsof Brown

PLENTY OF SEATS FOR
SENIOR PLAY MATINEE
8alo of 8eata-for -Night Attraction.
Good Half of the Seniors
Pay Assessment.
"Tho most expensive class play over
presented in Lincoln," is what the
manager says of "The Fortune Hunt
er." "In addition to tho heavy royalty
and regular heavy expenses, wo aro
having two full, new sets of-scenery
made especially for this play. The
production wlir"compari5 favorably
with stock and road shows, but it
surely costs money."
Tho management finds consolation,
however, In tho large and ready seat
sale, and will no' doubt bo able to pay
all expenses of tho production. The
seat sale Is now open to the public
and while many good seats for the
evening performance are gone, there
are still a good many left for tho night
show and a large number for tho matl--nee
"Tho mnflneo will be as good in
wcTy-respcct-aa-the-nightT-Bays Miss
Howell, coach of tho play, "and ono
ought not to feel that If they cannot
get good seats for the evening that
they will not faro as well in tho after
noon." Mr. Williams, who has been collect
ing the senior assessments, states
that only about one-half of the out
standing class notes have been pre
sented. "This Is the best opportunity
for realizing on those notes that tho
seniors will have," he says, "By ex
changing them for seats to the play
they will get full value for their notes,
either using the -seats or selling them
to some ono, else, while If they hold
them to tho end of the year, the indi
cations aro there will not bo enough
money in the class treasury to take
them all up."
AUDIENCE VERY WELL PLEA8ED
WITH ENTIRE PROGRAM.
SELECTIONS NOVEL--CL.ASSY
Glee Club Makes Excellent Appear
ance Receives Many Boqucts
Specialties on Program
Enjoyed immensely.
Tho (iloo Club homo concort, glvon
at the Temple last night, wns a com
plete biiccchh. Every number was
thoroughly onjoyed by tho audlonco
and thoro- woro sovoral sighs of ro
grot when the curtain doscondod on
tho last act. Tho business mannger
reports a fair financial success, al
though tho-program -wna worthyof a,
pnekod house.
In a mastorly way tho club combined
expression, grace of action, and artlstlo
monner in each rendition. Tho audi
ence ontored Into tho spirit of tho pro- '
gram with a will.
Tho opening number, "Tho Joy of
tho Huntor," by Carl von Wobor, com
menced things well. Other numbers
rendered by tho club woro "Baracollo,"
"Pilgrim's Chorus," "Nebraska An
them," "U. of N. Song," and tho "No
braska Marching Song." Tho heavy
selections in tho first part or tho en
tortalnment woro especially applauded
by those prosont.
As one member of tho audlonco ox-,
pressed It, "Tho certainly can sing
classical muBic."
Tho success of tho concert also
owes much to tho specialties of tho
program. Theodore Lohmer, with his
violin solos, was ono of tho hits of tho
ovening; Whllo-ho-waa-playlng-somo
of his soft, melodious strains a drop
of the proverbial pin would have
sounded as a cannon shot at Vera
Cruz.

SENIORS DANCE AT
THE BEACH TONIGHT
Marks Beginning of Open-Air Danc
ing Come Armed to Fight
the Elements.
Tonight the Senior Hop at Capltul
Beach starts the open-air dancing sea
son. Got out your raincoats and over
shoos and como out and have a big
time. If you have a little cxtrajroom
you might put in a pair of skates, for
tho ice may get thick enough to per
mit a portion of tho dnncors to be
transferred to it. One tiling which
under nu cundltlona6hould-4)Q forgoN .
ten is tho raincoat. It might not rulir
(thls Is Beldom),but by somo mlsfor
tune or other it might not freeze qithor.
If this should happen you would,, al
most without exception wish to tako
a little ride out on to the lake.,. At
this particular moment is when the
weather man greatly enjoys sending
ono of these little showers of rain
which last for almost n second.' You
understand, this is tho fault of neither
yourself nor your partner, but Is some
thing, which almost invariably happens
and which is absolutely unavoidable.'
On account of the extreme proxim
ity of tho dance hall chosen, Tunks
and Trumbull expect that they .will be
the only ones present in time for the
grand march. Anyone wishing to see
I the exhibition which they will give
I must come early,
