GERMAN PLAY POEM
Feature Poem Writen for the German
Dramatic Club Banquet by ,
Albert Wedeklng.
A curtain call's a classy thing.
All actors strive to win It.
And those who fall to get
Simply are not classed as in It.
And all the actors In our play
For curtain calls were pining.
They wanted not to pee a cloud.
But O! that silver lining.
For each and every one of them,
From leader down to super.
Would rather have a curtain call
Than rolls or filthy lucre.
A call there was for every one;
There was but one who missed It.
Those who our play did loud applaud
Outnumbered those who hissed It.
My task Is then to tell just how
Those players great and small.
Secured the actor's highest joy
A lusty curtain call.
Bernardi wore a portly front.
To make him look more German.
He'd care not. tho he looked like war
As once defined by Sherman.
To get this German corpulence
Bernard! stuffed with cotton.
He hoped thereby to make a hit.
If his acting should prove rotten.
The smallest gesture of his hand
His movements, one and all.
Had only this one end In view
To get a curtain call.
Cacilia put on light grey hair.
A sweet, housewiiely manner.
And if it's hearty laughs that count.
She carried off the manner.
She really lived on Easy street;
Her task was very small.
Hor einnial Julius sufficed
To bring a curtain call.
Edith the pampered daughter fair.
So self-possessed and clever.
Would not have missed a curtain call
For anything. No. never!
Her role demanded, first of all.
That she be very wilful.
And this she was. all will agree.
The part was done quite skilful.
(Poetic license number one
There'll be some more 'ere this is
done.)
She did her most important stunt
When shejet Richard fall.
Her loss was more thanwell repaid
She got a curtain call.
The money seeker Ottendorf,
With bearing military.
With honeyed words and manner fine.
And conduct sly and wary.
With ease an 1 grace and stateliness
True German virtues all
Secured what he full well deserved
A healthy curtain call.
Hans Aradt, e. clear-cut business man.
An every-ready worker.
Stayed on the job from morn till
couldn't be a shirker.
His hair was black and smooth as
glass.
His face was bright and ruddy;
He worked upon his publicum
As he would work on putty.
, (Poetic license number two
Look out for more "ere I am through.)
His role had been, throughout the
play.
To be self-sacrificing.
We'd think the joy of curtain call
To him was not enticing.
This Is also, sad to relate,
A much-mistaken view;
His Industry had just one aim
A curtain call or two.
Franke and Krause were fighters bold
As Germany has many.
Tho this may not have helped bo much
It didn't hinder any. .
Spectators who felt inclined
To honor one and all;
To give these laborers their due
A clear-cut curtain call.
To Muhlberger the fates were kind.
He had a fair young daughter. x
And so he had two chances first
As worker, then as father.
(Poetic license number three
And that's enough we'll both agree.)
His daughter, tender little thing.
So timid, yet so winning.
Was plainly destined from the Btart
To bring them both an inning.
Ibsen and W.'ber famous names
Have now an added glory.
The fame which these two men
achieved
Will long be told in story.
Frau Doktor Heideck plucky thing
Provincial queen and leader.
Said twenty lines in such a way
That all just had to heed her.
She ruled the Doctor with a will.
And what she willed she got;
As evidence the Doctor's mail
Now goes to Rudolstadt.
She didn't get her curtain calls
Because she was contrary.
They came to her because she w as
So very like a fairy.
The Doctor failed to get his call
Was in an awful plight.
And hoped by doing thi3 fool stunt
To get one here tonight.
Albert J. Wedeklng.

Nebraska has been playing a very
much improved brand of basketball
since their retreat from the northland.
Some changes in the line-up have im
proved the teamwork and general
caliber of piay. Practice this week
has been fast and snappy. Shields at
center and Tliiessen at forward in the
place of Shields, have been showing up
to advantage in their new positions.
Hugg. Captain Hawkins. Rutherford
and Myers have been displaying
marked form both in shooting the ball
through the hoop and in playing the
floor. With the team playing up to its
much improved form Nebraska should
defeat the southerners and pave their

pionship. PRINCETON PRESIDENT
SPEAKS ON ATHLETICS
Goes on Record as Being Opposed to
the Present Coaciiing System
Practices by Universities
The following is an account taken
from an excange paper.
Princeton. N. J-, Jan. 14. President
John Greer Ilibben of Princeton uni
versity in his annual report, presented
to the board of trustees today, ex
pressed the hope that paid coaches in
athletics would soon disappear. Ath
letics are suffering from an over-organized
system of coaching he said,
and he believed that more responsi
bility should be placed on team cap
tains. If undergraduates should be released
from "unnatural nomination of their
sports by graduate coaches," he said,
intercollegiate sport would be liber
ated from the abnormal Incubus of a
superimposed system which tendB to
niake puppets of the players."
President Hlbben in the report said:
"Our athletics, not only In Prince
ton, but throughout the country, are
Buffering from an over-organized sys
tem of coaching. I hope that the time
may soon ome when the paid coach
will disappear. He and his ever-increasing
number of assistants, all or
whose expenses prove a heavy dratn
upon the athletic treasury, and tend
to keep up the gate receipts of Inter
collegiate contests at an abnormal fig
ure, render Intercollegiate sport an un
duly expensive affair.
Captain Should Command.
"Particularly In the game of foot
ball, the captain of the team should
be the sole responsible person for the
management of his men. devising and
directing their play in practice games,
so that in the critical situation of a
great contest he and his team will rise
to the occasion and win or lose with
honor.
"It is quite absurd when one conies
to think of it, that the control of the
team in all preliminary games should
be in the hands of a body of men who
are relegated to the side lines when
the play is on.
"After alL It is an undergraduate
affair and the games should be planned
and played by undergraduates. If you
place upon them the responsibility
they will respond to it. for it is certain
that responsibility always provokes
efficiency. That men may be resource
ful in time of emergency, they must be
schooled in the art of resourcefulness
by some stimulation of their latent
powers of ingenuity. 0
Coaching System Unnatural.
"If we release our undergraduates
from the unnatural domination of their
sports by graduate coaches, and from
the confusion of many minds and
voices in the direction of their activi
ties, we will simplify the whole ath
letic situation and liberate intercol
legiate sport from the abnormal incu
bus of a superimposed system which j
tends to make puppets of the plajers,
limiting the spontaneity and free play
of their natural initiative."
