PRICE FIVE CENTS
"READY MONEY" GETS
ACROSSJN BIG WAY
UNIVERSITY PLAYERS SCORE AN
OTHER SUCCESS IN COMEDY
Large Audience In Temple Theater
Applauds Mit Howell's Actors
In Montgomery's Play
Another mas added to the long list
of successful plays given by the Uni
versity Players under the direction
of Miss Alice. Howell, when "Ready
Money" was produced at the Temple
theater last night The play was
- cleverly presented, and if it is de
cided to Veep It as the production
for University week next spring, it
is safe to say that the success of
'Believe Me, Xantippe." will be re
peated. Miss Howell has selected a cast
of players admirably suited to their
parts. There were a few slips in
the lines last night, but these were
easily covered up and in no way did
they detract from the enjoyment of
the piece. And if Gywnne Fowler
had trouble in escaping the descend
ing curtain once or twice. ' who
thought of that when his part was
so brightly played throughout?
Maurice Clark, who has delighted
more than one University audience
with his skilful work, had the lead
ing part and that is equivalent to
raying that it was well done. He was
enjoyed throughout and bis work
was up to his usual standard.
Some of the Good Ones
Lena Lipsey, as Mrs. John Tyler,
Spray Gardner as Jackson Ives, and
Virgil Skipton as Hon. John H. Tyler,
played character roles with most dis
tinction. Mr. Gardner was convinc
ing as were the. others. Herbert
Brownell, jr., was mighty good as
the office boy.
To do justice to the players, and
even the natural pride one takes in
"his own University's production
should not discount the statement, it
would be necessary to single out
each one of the east and say "well
done." Lucile M. Becker as Grace
Tyler did not have a part that gave
her a great opportunity to shorn' what
she is capable of. but she made the
most of her lines and proved a love
ly heroine.
The setting was good, especially
in acts one and two. No mistakes or
tage management were apparent to
the audience.

WEIRD SIGHTS FOR
COSTUME PARTY
SOME STRIKINGLY ORIGINAL
MAKE-UPS PROMISED
Co-eds Plot Secretly and Stunts To
night Will Astonish Some,
Is Report
Ss'nhh
The annual girls' costuiiie party,
held in the Armory at 10 cents ad
mission per costU:ne, tonight, will be
startlingly, strikingly, staringly sur
prising. Spare moments during the past two
weeks have been spent by most co
eds in collecting the alpha and omega
of garments in the effort to get
something new for the big party.
Success has resulted.
One stunt on which a good deal
of time and painstaking effort has
been spent during the past week is
an Hawaiian program. Ukeleles will
be very much in evidence. The
clothes, it is said, will be typically
tropically island ish and outlandish, and
the maidens will just naturally look
like they have stepped from the
jungle. The sinuous girations with
which they perform should prove
most interesting to the spectator.
The Sensational Stunt
Everyone last year heard of the
Kappa chain gang it was the talk
of the school. Just what stunt will
prove the sensation this time re
mains preKy much of a mystery, but
it will be revealed when the festival
begins tonight.
Xi Delta will sell candy tonight.
The reporter was not told to whom
the proceeds will go, but she was in
formed that the candy would be
good.
Coach Steiehm, who was a feature
of five preceding banquets will prob
ably not be present, but it is whis
pered that his successor. Doctor
Stewart, will answer the roll call,
with his team of husky warriors.
Leaks from the co-ed ranks have
been few, however, and the secrets
of the party will be unknown, for
the greater part, until the exent
comes off, this evening.
PROF. HOWARD TO

Auspices of the Open
' Forum Club

department will lecture on "Race
Prejudice" before a meeting at the

streets, Sunday evening at 8 o'clock,
under the auspices of the Lincoln
Open Forum. This organization is
for the purpose of discussing impor
tant uublic problems. It recently
brought Lincoln Steffens, the well-1
known journalist, to Lincoln.
Professor Howard will discuss par
ticularly the race prejudice against
the negroes in the south and how
that prejudice stands in the way of
the social, political, and economic
development among the southern
states. He has traveled in the south
recently and is in intimate touch
with his subject.
Professor August Molzer will fur
nish the music. A half hour dis
cussion by the audience will follow
Professor Howard's address and ques
tions will be answered.

AT
I
Arrangements Finally Completed for
Celebration of Seventh Success
ive Valley Championship
Cornhusker banquet tickets will be
on sale today at the College Book
store. Individual ticket sellers ran
out yesterday, and the less than a
hundred passes to the feast that are
i left will be disposed of at the store
: across from the campus.
M. M. Garrett, who has had gen
eral charge of the banquet, said last
night the advance sales have been
ahead ol those of any previous year.
The fatted calves have been killed;
field, forest and plowed land have
been robbed of their yields to fur
nish good provender for the men
who will gather together tonight to
do honor to the football team.
In spite of the two defeats regis
tered against Nebraska this year,
the Cornhuskers are still entitled to
the Missouri valley honors, and the
banquet will, for the seventh suc
cessive time, be in honor of the
team that stands head and shoulders
above all the Other schools in the
Missouri valley" family.
The Toast list
The toast ist has been announced
before. James Harney, '28, will be
the grand master of ceremonies.
Quiggle -ww ill represent the Univer
sity's good friends, the citizens of
Lincoln, Captain Tim Corey will
speak of the season just closed, and
Captain-elect Ed Shaw will tell of
that to come. Victor Halligan will
disclose the darkest secrets of the
coaching game.
Every blessed man on the team
and squad will feast with the root
ers. They mill modestly, but like
men, accept the congratulations of
the school along with the beefsteak
and gravy, ajid it will be hard to tell
which will prove the more palatable.
Good authority has stated that
there will be more protection to life,
and less infringement on the pursuit
of happiness at the banquet than in
former years. Sugar, it is rumored
will not loaf about the place so pro
miscuously, and the boys who think
they have to prove their speed and
accurate throwing arm will have
slightly less of a chance to demon
strate their skill than in the old
days.

BEETHOVEN'S THIRD
SYMPHONY PLAYED
Convocation Audience of 400 Enjoys
the "Heroic Symphony"
Yesterday
Under the direction of Mrs. Carrie
B. Raymond, the third Beethoven
symphony was given yesterday room
ing at convocation hour in Memorial
hall, before 400 students and others.
Mrs. Raymond played ihe organ; Ed
ward G. Walt, first violin; Ernest Har
rison, second violin; William T.
Quick, viola; and Mrs. Lillian Eiche,
the cello.
The following interpretation, given
in part, mas mritten by Prof. W. F.
Dann:
This symphony was originally com
posed in honor of Napoleon Bonaparte,
in m-hom at the time of compositon
Beethoven thought he earn- the great
representative of popular rights. Dis
appointed in the later course of Na
poleon, he destroyed the title page,
and wrote the simple inscription, "To
celebrate the memory of a great man."
The composition is generally knom-n
as the Heroic Symphony.
It was not the composer's purpose
to recount in musical sounds Napol
eon's life, nor to present a series of
tone-pictures of events in hi6 career.
To do the like is beyond the pom-er
of musical art, and Beethoven was too
sincere an artist to attempt it. It was
enough that the music in the nobility
and beauty of its appeal should sug
gest the high and noble character of
bis hero. This Beethoven has done
wiib incomparable skill and feeling.
Intellectual mastery ehibited in the
unfolding of the themes, moving
pathos, kindly humor, a sense of inner
strength and high purpose are all per
ceivable here, and It is these qualities
that make the symphony a worthy
analogue of a truly great character.
PREPARE TO MAKE
MEALJIFJAYHAWK
DEBATERS WOULD REVENGE DE
FEAT OF FOOTBALL TEAM
Fogg Is
Have
Coaching Men Debaters
a Remarkable Record
of Victories
The disposition of the Kansas Jay
hamk to puff up his chest, flap his
mings, and blow at the slightest
provocation mill be dealt a sledge
hammer blom- in the annual Kansas
Nebraska debate, to be argued simul
taneously at Lawrence and at Lin
coln Wednesday evening, December
13, in the opinion of Nebraskans.
Kansas won a football game from
Nebraska this fall, the first one in
seven years, and so giddy did she be
come mith the glory of it that the
Missouri Tigers, mailing for the Jay-horn-k
bird to approach its lair, de
voured the pompous creature with
more gusto than the bird itself had
shomn in picking corn. But the joy
of victory over Nebraska belongs to
the Jayhamk, and mith the football
season past, he is looking for an
other husking bee in the annual
debate.
Revenge Is Sweet
But revenge is sm-eet, and revenge
for the Kansas defeat upon the foot
ball Held cannot come too soon to
Nebraska. Her record of victories
over Ksnsas in debate overshadom-s
even the remarkable record of suc
cessive victories on the gridiron. A
glance at the official record of inter
collegiate debate reveals the fact
that not once, mithin the ken of the
present University generation, has
Kansas mon a decision from Nebras
ka upon the rostrum. It is said, how
ever, that once in the dim past, be
fore official records were kept Kan
sas did humble Nebraska.
Reasoning logically, the Kansans
believe tlt the breathing spell they
have enjoyed since their last victory
in debate is sufficient, just as it was
in football, and tbf.? ar determine
to make a clean smeep over Nebras
ka in 1916.
Huskers Work Hard
Nebraska, although tiandicapped by
the fact that on both its teams there
are only tmo old men, is morking
hard under the direction of Prof. M.
M. Fogg, official debating coach, who
has made a remarkable record since
he took charge of this activity, and
the men are confident that Kansas
mill meet defeat, thus keeping Ne
braska's debate slate clean, even
though the Jayhawker 3id mar tbe
football record.
Interest in the Lincoln debate is
at high pitch, due to both the desire
for honorable revenge and the time
liness of the question to be argued
whether submarine m-arfare on neu
tral vessels is incompatible m-ith the
laws of nations. A large out-of-town
attendance is expected; delegations
from high schools in the Nebraska
high school deuating league have or
dered block reservations. Word was
received yesterday that the Nelson
high school, from the southern part
of the state, would send a delegation.
Tickets, which have been placed ,
on saJe at Porter's and tbe College
Book store, are selling at a good rate,
according to the business manage
ment. All seats on the main floor
and tbe fret tmo rows in the bal
cony are selling at 50 cents, with
the rest of the seats at 35 cents.
