ALUMNUS WRITES OF
PHILLIPIHE ISLAIiiS
Spends Time in Japan on Way
to U. S. Possesion for
Several Days.
Earl Starboard, an alumnus of the
University, wrote a letter from the
Phillipine Islands to Miss Alice
Howell, Instructor in the Dramatic
Department which is Quoted in part
as follows:
"Cuyo, Palawan, P. I.,
June 25, 1920.
"My Dear Miss Howell:
"Here I am, away over on the
other side of the world, marooned on
a small island in the Sulu Sea. If I
had been told a year ago where I was
to be today I certainly would have
thought someone was a candidate foi
Hastings. But I'm here and sh&A re
main in this place for the next nine
months at least. It is really a very
beautiful little place covered with
rice fields and thatched houses and
cocoanut groves. The town of Cuyo,
while a real native Filipino town, is
quite nice, wide, well-kept streets and
good substantial houses, of course
very different from the average
American town,
"I enjoy my work very much. At
present I am the only American here
or within a hundred miles of here.
It's lonesome of course, but I have
much to occupy my time. I am prin
cipal of the Provincial school, having
twelve teachers (all natives) and
about F100 pupils from the fifth grade
through the second year high school.
They are very interesting youngsters
to work with, very quick to learn and
very keen. One thing, they have a
great and intense Interest in anything
dramatic and delight in attempting to
make big orations, often quite funny
due to their queer pronunciation and
grammatical constructions. I certain
ly find wonderful opportunities for
Phonics instruction. Tell Miss Pound
I never have really valued her work
in phonics until now. But wherr
work Is almost a daily occurrence one
certainly can find a use for anything
one has learned in that respect.
Stops in Japan.
"My trip over was very interesting.
I spent several days in Japan and
had one experience which I think you
might be interested In hearing about
It -was In Kohe. A number of us
younger folks decided to have a rather
Interesting time In the evening so we
instructed our Rickshaw men to tak
us to a real Japanese theater, not a
movie. After a rather circuitous
Journey through varied winding, dark

more are being sold each day. This
number surpassed that of last year
by a big margin.
Keen rivalry existed between the
lifferent participants throughout the
campaign. There were about forty
organizations represented in the list
of contestants. Many of these or
ganizations claim that more tickets
would have been disposed of by them
if it had not been for the ability of
the individual sellers to talk their
Freshmen into buying from them.
Everyone connected with the sale
of the tickets is very much pleased
with the response the students made
to the demand. If the ticket sellers
are supported for the other athletic
sports like they have been in the
football campaign, those at the Stu
dent Activities office report that they
will need more help.

WESLEYAN RESERVES
Game Ends With 89 to 0 Victory for
First-Year Squad After Track
Meet.
DEWITZ FRESHMEN STAR
The University Freshmen football
team waHored the Wesleyan Reserves
Tuesday afternoon in a game played
on the Wesleyan gridiron. The con
test resembled a track meet and when
all the races had been counted the
score was 89 for the Freshmen and
a goose-egg for the Wesleyan second
stringers.
Following the first quarter which
ended Freshmen, 7; Wesleyan, 0; the
Ilusker Yearlings had everything their
own way. The fast backfleld of the
Green and White found little opposi
tion in the Wesleyan line and every
drive netted a long gain.
Dewitz Stars.
Dewitz, Freshman fullback, was the
main pointmaker of the afternoon.
The big fellow speeded around the
ends or smashed the line on smashes
which, netted five touchdowns. Reed
and Woodard followed with two
touchdowns each. Dewitz booted
seven goals out of eight tries and
Reed kicked four out of five chances.
Other youngsters to cross the
Methodist goal line were Lamb,
Norris, Morgan and Klempke.
The first quarter had the ear marks
of a good struggle. The Freshmen
kicked off and held the Methodists
dead in their tracks. Upon obtaining
the oval the Yearlings rushed it down
the field only to lose it on a fumble.
Dewitz soon crossed the goal line
for the only counter of the quarter.
Schissler ran in a brand new team
the second quarter. The' new com
bination gathered in two more touch
downs before the curtain was pulled
down on the first half.
The Yearlings hit 'em hard In the
third and fourth frames and when the
smoke had cleared away had the long
end of a 89-0 score.

FRESHMEN RECEIVE
INTELLIGENCE TEST
Similar Test to Be Given in Four
Years and Progress
Noted.
Every Freshman at Nebraska Uni
versity will be required to submit to
the Thorndyke Intelligence Tests to
day. This applies to students in all
colleges. The tests will begin at 8
o'clock a. m., and first-year students
will be excused from classes from
that time until noon. Likewise stu
dents needed as monitors will be ex
cused from classes . and all classes
scheduled in the rooms where the

These famous examinations are
given University Freshmen at the re

UNIVERSITY PLAYERS
GIVE FIRST PROGRAM
Three One-Act Plays Are Well Pre
sented in Temple Theater Tues
day Afternoon.
The University Players presented
three one-act plays Tuesday afternoon
in the Temple Theater, as their firBt
public offerings this year. Judging
from the showing the players made,
exceptional work can be expected of
them for the entire year.
"Girl to Order," the first play pre
sented, dealt with three college boys,
one of whom had spent a large sum
of. money, which he had to account
for in order to be allowed to remain
in school. They decide to lay it on
to expenditures for his "Dearest girl."
The scheme works all right until the
irritated father appears and asks to
see the girl. A girl has to be made to
order, and one of the boys takes the
part. However, the real girl appears
and every thing ends all right with
the father's forgiveness. Ruth Rys
trom, Clara Dickerson, Mary McCoy,
Rhoda Hendrickson, Mary Johnson
and Nellie Freer composed the cast.
The trials of a Frenchman in an
English speaking hotel, were humor
ously shown in the next offering,
"French Without a Master." An
Englishman and his French fiance
arrive at the hotel and register under
false names, in order to escape being
caught by the young lady's uncle.
The interpreter, having taken the job
merely for the six shillings a week,
muddles affairs greatly by his ap
parent knowledge of French. The
uncle comes, and affairs become more
complicated when a policewoman
comes to arrest the crowd for steal
ing, because of a thrilling story the
interpreter has manufactured. How
ever, everything is all right when a
real interpreter Is found and circum
stances are explained. Miss Marjorie
Hawes, in the role of the young Mile.
Seraphine Chanoine-Malherbe, made a
charming little French person, and
Harry Blomstrand as her French
uncle was able to parlez Francais to
perfection. Oscar Bennett as the in
terpreter furnished humor in great
amounts. The remainder'of the cast
was:
Gerald Forsythe Wallace Waite
A police officer Marienne Gould
A hotel porter Alvin Sandstedt
The cashier.. Mabel Gibson
"Indian Summer" was the last play.
It was the story of the clever scheme
of a young married couple to gain the
consent to their marriage of the
young man's uncle. The cast follows:
Adrienne Lillian Votau
Briqueville . Grace Staton
Noel Miss Whitfield
Madame Libreton. Bessie Gift
