duction has been given annually, ex
cept for four years during the war,
since the organization of the Klub
in 1911. The comedy this year, "The
Wishing Ring," written by Cyril L.
Coombs, law '23, was a great suc
cess and was pronounced one of the
most successful University produc
tions for years. The 1923 play, "The
Yellow Lantern," also written by Mr.
Coombs, proved a hit in both Lincoln
and Omaha. More interest is being
shown each year in the play and over
one hundred students tried out for
parts in this years comedy.

interfraternity songfest which will be
held this year on the afternoon of
Ivy day. A cup is given to the win
ning fraternity. Announcement of
further plans for the sing will be

Concerning

Thus the inconsequential co-ed.
The reporter found vacation staring
him in the face. He didn't know
what he could do for employment, or
rather he didn't know what he wanted
to do, hence the earnest questioning.
Perhaps valuable suggestions might

in it for the right person, and all

the co-eds were in much the Bame

NEBRASKA HOST IN
DUAL MEET FRIDAY
Kansas Aggie Track and Field
Contest May Give Line on
Valley Classic.
Nebraska will be host to a visiting
track team on the new memorial
stadium field for the first time to
morrow when the Kansas Aggies
track and field athletes compete with
Nebraska in the dual meet. The dual
meet will give Bome line on the Valley
meet a week later, as the Aggies are
preparing to place up in the top
division.
The dual meet of tomorrow will
afford Locke of Nebraska and Red
Erwin of the Aggies another chance
to race it out for the 100-yard dash
honors. At the Kansas relays Erwin
beat Locke, and he was the next man
m iront of Locke at the Drake re
lays at Des Moines three weeks ago,
Last year Erwin won the two sprint
events in the Valley meet at Ames.
Aggies Strong in Mile.
The Aggies will be strong tomor
row in the mile in which they have
Klimport who is expected to run it
around 4:30 time. The fastest Ne
braska time to date has been 4:35
by Lewis. Another good race will
probably be the two-mile. Kansas
Aggies have Balzerin this event, and
he runs the two mile in less than two
minutes regularly and is expected to
do better than that if pushed. Ne
braska's best entries in this number
will be Cohen and Slemmons. Thus
far Slemmons has shown up as the
better of the two Nebraska two mi
lers, but Cohen ranks pretty high on
account of his sprinting ability at
the finishes. Last yearin the Cal
norma dual meet uonen made a
spectacular finish of the two mile
when he sprinted about oil of the
last eighth of it.
Field Prospect Looks Better.
Nebraska's hopes in the field events
are brightening. In the tryouts Tues
day for the Aggie meet Wirsig
equalled the Nebraska record of 12
feet in the pole vault. Gleason.Rho
des and Davis are the other Husker
vaulters who have been clearing the
bar just under the 12 foot mark
all season so far.
Bassett and Hartman will uphold
Nebraska ; colors in the shotput.
Bassett has been improving steadily
all season since the interfraternity
meet in April and heaves the weight
almost as far as Hartman himself,
In the quarter mile races tomorrow
and the hurdles Nebraska men will
probably have things much to them
selves as the Aggie entries in these
events have not done extra well so
far. On the face of it Nebraska
can be doped out to win tne dual
meet tomorrow, but Track is much
like any other sport, and the Huskers
may be surprise dat unexpected win
ning competitions.

The Sig Eps beat the A. T. O.'s on
their last game 9 to 0. They have
been going strong all year and are
expected by many to' win the skin
this year. The Pi Kaps beat the
Delta Chi nine in the third round 8
to 0. Joe -Edwards, who may pitch
for the Pi Kaps, is going strong this
season, ana tne game today will prob
ably be one ox the closest of the

TENNIS PLAYERS OUT
FOR CHAMPIONSHIP
Eight Will Represent Nebraska
in Dual Meets and Val- t
ley Classic.
Weather conditions have not been
of the best for tennis playing dur
ing the past few days and as the re
sult the annual Varsity tennis tour
nament is progressing slowly. The
eight racquet wielders who remain
in the tourney longest will be se
lected to represent Nebraska in the
several dual meets and Missouri Val
ley championship classic which com
prise the Husker tennis schedule for
the 1924 season. Last week end
three veteran courtmen were sent to
Ames to contest across the twine bar
riers with the Iowans but Shallberg,
Colby and Newton were unable to
solve attack and were sent home
with a coat of whitewash.
The Varsity tournament was ex
pected to be finished before last
week in order that the winners might
be determined. The next tennis dual
meet is slated for next week and it
is likely that the outstanding per
formers will be whittled down from
the long list of contestants at pres
ent. All contestants in the Varsity
tourney are urged to play their
matches off as sson as possible.
Eleven courts are now in shape
according to the University court
management and more will be avail
able the latter part of this week. The
courts are open from 7 to 7 and this
time limit will be exten4a as soon
as warmer weather permits.

CHORUS CONCERT
DELIGHTS MANY
Capacity Crowd Hears Pro
gram by University Sing
ers and Symphony.
WEATHER CAUSES
CHANGE OF PLACE
Playing to a capacity audience in
the auditorium, the Minneapolis Sym
phony orchestra and University
chorus gave a real treat to music
lovers last night. Inclement weather
caused the concert to be changed
from the stadium to the auditorium.
The platform erected in the stadium
was changed yesterday afternoon.
The concert consisted of two parts,
the orchestra : playing Liszt's Sym
phonic Poem No. 3, "Les Preludes,"
for the first time, and the University
chorus accompanied by the orchestra
presented the oratorio "Elijah" for
the second. Fifty soloists from Lin
coln and four soloists specially se
cured to take the leading parts, as
sisted the chorus.
Play as One Instrument.
The orchestra proved itself a truly
wonderful organization. The eighty
six musicians played as on one great
instrument and responded to every
movement of Henri Verbrugghen
the conductor.
The second part of the program
was also a distinct success. Bernard
Ferguson of New York took the
leading role of Elijah in a manner
that showed him to be a finished solo
ist. Mabel Beddo, Lenora Sparkes,
and Walter Wheatley, were the other
principals in the oratorio.
The chorus, led by Mrs. Carrie B.
Raymond, caused many favorable
comments. Although it had rehearsed
only once with the orchestra, it gave
its part of the program as if it were
thoroughly familiar with the ora
torio. Program Given.
The program as it was presented
follows:
PART ONE.
Introduction As God the Lord of
Israel liveth.
Overture.
Chorus Help, Lord! Wilt Thou
Yuite destroy us?
Duet Zion spread-eth her hands
for aid; with chorus Lord, bow
Thine ear to our prayer.
Recitative and air If with all your
hearts ye truly seek me.
Chorus Yet doth the Lord see it
no.
Recitative, air and duet Help me,
man of God! my son is sick.
