TRACK ATHLETES GOING
TO OMAHA FOR MEET
Coach Schulte Taking Select Group
of Cinder Artists for "Y"
Competition.
Coach Srhulte leaves tomorrow for
Omaha with a few picked men to
compete in the indoor invitation track
meet held under the auspices of the
Omaha Y. M. C. A. A relay team and
three or four others will make up the
party that will represent Nebraska.
Hue to the manner in which the
meet will be staged it was found
impossible to take as large a number
of men as had been planned. The
Ilusker representatles should have no
trouble in capturing everything that
they will be entered in.
There are now over three hundred
men registered for track and Coach
Schulte has set the goal at five hun
dred. The turn out this season has
never been equaled at Nebraska and
from all indications th Husker
school will be represented by one of
the greatest cinder path teams ever.
A complete list of the men who
have won their numerals and those
who have scored points toward theirs
will be published in Sunday's issue
of the Daily Nebraskan. Coach
Schulte's new system has been a
great inducement for the building up
of a wonderful track team at Nebraska.

"TALE OF OLD JAPAN"
BY UNIVERSITY CHORUS
"A Tale of Old Japan" which the
University Chorus will present at
convocation Tuesday, March 22, wa
composed by Coleridge Taylor, a
highly educated colored man who lived
in England and who is the composer
of "Hiawatha." The words are taken
from a poem by Alfred Noyes, one
of the foremost modern English
poets.
This is a little Japanese tale in
the usual highly colored, uowery lan
guage of the Orient. Kinii, a little
Japanese maiden, lives with her uncle,
Tenko, an artist. Sawara comes to
study painting under Tenko, and Kimi
falls in love with him. When he
leaves the school he promises to re
turn for her. After waiting three
years she is crushed by disappoint
ment and disappears. Sawara returns
to paint one of the islands, learns of
her disappearance and marries an
other. He finds Kimi pnd when she
learns that he is married she dies in
his arms "like a broken blossom."
LARGE CROWD ATTENDS
"THE BELLS" THURSDAY
University Players Score Hit In
Tragedy Cyril Coombs Has
Leading Part.
The first performance of "The Bells
was given to an audience that listened
breathless to the griping scenes that
ended up the murder mystery. The
audience went away deeply impressed
by the inteipretation of Alsation life
and the exceptional atmosphere of the
piece.
Cyril Coombs gave the best char
cterization he has yet accomplished,
though it was not. as popular in type
as his previous ones. It was a clear
cut bit of work; in fact the whole
cast set a standard above the ordin
.ry stage production. The whole tone
of the play and the players was a
delight and satisfied even those who
!iive not a natural taste for tragedy.
