taken on the road University week by
the University players will be pre
sented for the first and only time at
the Temple theatre Thursday eve'
nins, May 12.
Almost postponed indefinitely at
one time because of the general In
termption of school affairs, friends
of the cast and others Interested In
the department have urged its presen
tation before the students before the
close of the school year. The cast,
all members of which have taken part
in a number of University plays and
are favorably known to the Univer
sity audiences is made up largely of
seniors, who will have this Anal
chance to appear in a play before
taking up the more serious business
of life or of war.
The play demands a good siz
royalty for each performance. It has
been produced by the cast ten times
and pleased well in each town visited
University week. The two leads,
Maurice Clark and Louise Schavland,
Till take up professional work this
coming summer and to them as well

Elizabeth Brown, Neil Brown, Flor
ence Maryott and Mrs. Ceo Cather
Young it will serve as a farewell pro
duction for their University friends,
Story of a Crook
The play has been everywhere suc
cessful and is favorably known to
all who follow the theatre news. The
story of a crook, pardoned from a
sentence in "Sing Sing" for opening
a bank safe, through the influence of
a girl undertakes to make good. How
he succeeds to the last moment, wins
the girl, deceives the detectives and
then is confronted with the necessity
of opening a safe to save a life,
brings out a number of amusing and
dramatic situations that has made the
play, an "actor proof never fall pro
duction. The only change in the original
cast will be Nell Brown as Bill Av?ry
in place of Lad Kublk, who leave
this week to enlist. Several others
of the cast expect to leave within a
few days after the production for
Fort Snelling.
It is expected that this will be the
last dramatic production of the year.
Other plays in progress in Miss
Howell's department have been post
poned for the year and every effort
ill be made to produce "Jimmy Val
entine" as the star offering of the
year's work.
The Leading Parts
Clark and Miss Schavland need
little announcement to the University
Public and their appearance should
tosure a worthy interpretation of two
difficult characters. Gardner as
Doyle, Wilson as the warden and
Gwynne Fowler aa Red, received
much favorable notice throughout the
tte and Olive Means and Elizabeth
Brown as Kitty and Bobby Lane have
speciality work that generally brings
the house "down.

KUSKERS TO BATTLE
AMES ON DIAMOND
FIRST HOME MO. VALLEY GAMES
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY
Army Call Hurts Nebraska Chances
Rutherford Looks
for Wins
If "Old Sol" can be persuaded to
show his smiling face during the next
few days, the baseball fans of the
University will have a chance to see
their team in action Friday and Sat
urday afternoons when the Cornhusk
er8 are scheduled to meet the Ames
"Aggies" in a pair of games on Ne
braska field.
Dry weather today and tomorrow
will leave the field in fine shape and
should produce some real "big
league" baseball.
The game Friday will be the sec
ond Missouri Valley game of the
season, and the first game between
the two schools for several years.
The team is not in exceptional
shape because of the poor weather
of the last two weeks and may be
weakened by the loss of several of
the regulars who have been accepted
at Fort Snelling. Coach Rutherford
is confident that the men will give a
good account of themselves and if
favored in the breaks of the game
should be returned the victors.
John Pickett will probably be
picked to start the first game. Pickett
should be in fair shape, which means
that the Hawkeye "Aggies" will have
a hard time collecting the runs. Rid
dell, Mackey and Berquist will be
the candidates for the hurling job in
the second game.
FORFEIT CORNHUSKER
UNLESS BALANCE PAID
The Cornhusker management has
called the attention of students who
are leaving school because of the war
emergency that the first payment of
$1.50 is forfeited unless the balance
is paid within a week after the book
is issued. The announcement was
made some time ago that those who
leave their address and the balance
of the money due at the student ac
tivities office before their departure,
will receive the book by mail.

VARSITY TRACK MEN
TO MEETJIVE TEAMS
WESLEYAN, COTNER AND DOANE
COMPETE WITH 3 HVJSKER TEAMS
Freshmen and AJumnl to Take Part
Regulars in Good Shape and
Expect to Win
The varsity track team will be hosts
to five other teams at a track meet
on Nebraska field next Saturday aft
ernoon when the men making up the
varsity will compete with teams rep
resenting Wesleyan, Cotner, Doane,
the alumni and the freshmen.
There is sure to be some real com
petition in the meet and especially
in the sprints in which both Doane
and Wesleyan will have men who hold
some fine records.
It Is not possible to say who the
alumni entries will be as yet, but it
is probable that Guy Reed, Otto Zum
wlnkle and Herb Reese, all former
sprinters, will take part in the hun
dred and two-twenty yard races.
The team as a whole is in good
condition and with the track in any
sort of shape will do some fine work
Saturday. Owen, Werner, Finney and
Overman will be looked upon as sure
winners in their races while Graf
and Grau should win first . if they
run true to form. Reese in the
weights is increasing his distances at
every workout and should win the
shot and discus without much trou
ble. If pole vaulters are as scarce
in the other schools of the state as
they are here the freshmen will have
an easy time winning both first and
second in this event.
