PLAY WILL BE GIVEN AT END OF THIS WEEK "The Devil's Disciple," a melo drama in three acts by Bernard Shaw, the last play of the season to be given by the"tJniversity Players, will be presented Thursday, Friday, Saturday evenings and Saturday af ternoon. Leading parts are carried by Dolores Bosse and Herbert Yenne. Mr. Yenne will play the part of Richard Dudgeon, who is the "Dev il's Disciple." This is Mr. Yenne's first important role since his appear ance in "Madam X." He has played two seasons in professional stock and with the Forest, Mountain and Desert Players in California. His work in California was highly prais ed by the Los Angeles Times and fit- lowing the season he was offered a contract by the University of Cali fornia but he refused to leave Ne braska. Mi Bom to Appear Miss Bosse is carrying an exceed ingly heavy role. She will play the part of Judith Anderson. She is a senior in the dramatics department and has played in a number of the University Players productions. The play deals with a man, Rich ard Dudgeon, who had been brought up in a Puritan community. He re- bells at the restrictions placed upon him and runs away from home. At the death of his father he is left sole heir to the property and returns home to take his place in the com munity. ' Shortly after he arrives, he is mis taken for a minister and is taken away to be hung. Richard Dudgeon then shows his heroic qualities by accepting the masquerade. With a hangman's rope about his neck, the Devil's Disciple jests with death while the fatal minutes speed by. Has Historical Basis The play would be of unusual in terest to history students because the costumes and stage-settings are true to the period, of the play. The plot and incidents of the play are all bas ed on historical facts according to the author, Bernard Shaw. The scenery for the play is being done by students in the stage design class under the direction of Dwight Kirsh.

Next year's Baby Interna tional will probably be held sometime near the end of October. BASEBALL MEN GO THROUGH PRACTICE Wet Grounds Prevent Work on Diamond; Batting and Pitch in Are Stressed. Coach W. G. Kline yesterday put his baseball squad through the paces at Rock Island Park. The varsity ball-chasers will be at that location for the rest of the practice season. Wet erounds slowed up the work out on the regular diamond, being compelled to take the outfield. The nractice was confined to hit ting and fielding, with short work outs for the pitchers. The tempor arv field was unsuited for anything else. Coach Kline used four or five Ditchers to practice with the batters who knocked the pill all around the field. Gallmever. Edwards, Lang, and Stribline were the hurlers who were given a chance to limber up on the mound. Almost thirty men are out, and they were all given a chance at hit ting and fielding. "Kewpie" Lang was catching for all the pitchers. He was the only Varsity catcher who showed up yesterday. Real work should get under way non. With their ioints oiled up and their heels lightened, the squad will probably get down to tne aauy gnnu within a week. Frofthman nractice will start in two or three weeks. A thinning out of ika nii1r miarf will come some time before that, according to Coach Kline, and the freshmen will not be called until after that Student Business Man Tells How w f y? He Remembers Columbia University Laundry Manager Has Marvelous 1 Memory for Persons. "If you want to remember a per son or thing, simply associate some thing with the individual or the name. Make that name stand out from other and think of it in connection with some special thing or object and ni r,itH it hit to remember persons and names," said David B. Sklaire, frr four years student man ager of the laundry at Columbia Uni- rersity. Sklaire, a student in me School of Commerce, is the possessor .iMn mpinnrr that defies VI asta awwuM-f'-a the competition of a Chinese laundry ticket He is also better than any other person on the campus, simply because of his uncanny facil ity of remembering the names and Woild Forum to Hold No Discussion Today The weekly World Forum lun cheon at the Grand Hotel will not be held today, according to an an nouncement by Arthur Jorgenson, Y.

Scenery and topography of south eastern Nebraska will be described in representative hall of the State capi tol at 7:30 o'clock this evening by Dr. G. E. Condra, director of the conser vation and survey division of the University of Nebraska. Representa tives and senators from that section of the state will comment upon the slides and reels which illustrate the lecture. Arbor Lodge and the Big Blue parks will be depicted in detail. Dr. Condra lectures in representa tive hall every Wednesday evening, taking up a particular section of the state in each talk.

COMPLETES SHOOTING SEASON Makes Record of Fifteen Vic tories, Thirteen Defeats; Two Reports Not in. The Nebraska rifle team completed its intercollegiate rifle shooting sea son with fifteen victories and thir teen defeats. The results of the matches against St John's College and Agricultural College- -of Utah held last week have not yet been de termined. In comparing this season with that of last year, in which only four matches were lost out of fifty con tests, it must be taken into consider ation, that there has been a change in the method of scoring. Last year he scores were determined by progres sive shooting. This year the shoot ing was recorded only on registered targets. The highest score of the season was recorded last week when the rifle squad of New York University, using the averages of the ten highest men shooting in the prone, sitting, kneel ing and standing positions, sent in total of 3868. The highest individual score of the season was turned in by E. Nathen son, a member of the New York Uni versity rifle team, who shot the nearly-perfect score of 396. He regis tered perfect scores in the prone and kneeling positions, 99 in the sitting position, and 97 in the standing po sition. Another exceptional score was hung up when the ten highest men on the North Dakota Agricultur al College averaged 92.1 in the stand ing position. Embrvo reporters on the Daily Texan, of the University of Texas, have the much needed reportorial in stinct the Texan says. Every mem ber of the beginning class was sent to cover Governor Ferguson's inang- uration, and when the doors of the capital were closed, every member was inside and on the job. A daily newspaper will be publish- a i, ttin ctnrienta in the course in journalism of the University of Wis consin during the three-day Univer sity Exposition April 16 to 18. Names ana races - faces with which he comes into con tact in his business relations. t follinir about his ability to asso ciate faces and names, Sklaire went mi to sav. "Everyone has a person ality and characteristic that peculiar ly different from any other person s "For example, when I heard Pro- fessor Jone's name, I at once recalled who he was and I made up my mind know him by sight When be eame into the store the second time, I didn't f ail to recognize him. In telling of the value of this abil itv. he said. "I have often wondered wVi.t the business men thinks of the student what impression the theor etical student leaves on the practical business man. As a student and at the same time a business man I ve bad an interesting study in psychol- mrv. To sit on top of the fence and note these incidents is certainly en tertaining as wen as instructive.

BUT SIX MEN ON DEFENSIVE TEAM The call of spring, wafted on the balmy breezes from the south, has evidently affected some score of spring football candidates who stop ped reporting for practice with the advent of 'warmer weather. At the practice session yesterday there were only seventeen men out, hardly enough to form one full team on the offensive and a skeleton team to op pose it Coach Bearg is wondering where the shady lane is in which his spring football candidates are prom enading during the scrimmage period when they should be learning foot ball. The practice yesterday consisted of an hour or so of passing, followed by the customary scrimmage period of about an hour. Stevens, "Jug7 Brown, and Presnell did most of the passing in this preliminary period. The backfield in the scrimmage was made up of Presnell, and "Jug" Brown at half, Peaker at full, and Stevens, quarter. In the line were Gross at center, Reller and Witte at guards, Raiscj and Casey at tackles, and Gillen and Joe Weir at ends. There were only six men o.i the defensive line. Stiner and Kanui-ii performed the best on this ide of the scrimmage line, smearing many of fensive plays as they reached the line. Some practice in recovering fum bles behind the line of scrimmage whs included in the scrimmage work. The ffensive team had the advantage most of the time on account of its greater strength, the defensive line ing composed of only six men. The field was rather soft yester day, and did not permit of many pen plays. If the weather continues fair, the ground ought to be in shape for practice today and the remainder of the week. UNIVERSITY OF CALD70RNIA Buy a pair of garters, my boy, buy a pair of garters,' is the bit of fath erly advice being given by members of the Infirmary staff to male stu dents asking the why and wherefore of colds that seemingly can not be cured. - Since the garter became a social outcast and fashion decreed that socks should be worn draped care lessly around the tops of tan ox fords, the Infirmary records show an enormous increase in the number of colds treated. The staff agrees that the practice of allowing the chill morning air to circulate freely around exposed ankles is one of the princioal causes. They are therefore Including in all prescriptions an item that can better be secured at a haberdashery than a drug store. Oklahoma Authorities Allow Women Dates Until 1:30 St. Patrick's Day Administration Makes Excep tion to Rules for Annual Engineers' Festival. Women at the University of Okla homa recently reached their houses as late as 1:30 in the morning under male escort and didn't have to stand anxiously by while friend escort threw gravel at the open window of an obliging roommate to get her to sneak down t'ie back way and un hook the ba k Juor. For the first time in the history of the institution the University auth orities agreed to extend the date period until 1 :30 in order that women might witness the opening of the St Patrick's day when students in col lege of Engineering welcomed the coming day with a fireworks display. Dates for the display began at 11:30 Monday night and ended at RECEIYE SUGAR SPECIMENS High School Exhibits Show Process of Manufacture Twenty sets of specimens showing the processes tn beet-sugar manufac ture will be available for Nebraska high schools. They come from the Great Western Beet Sugar Co. of Scotts Bluffs, and may be obtained through the Conservation and Survey division of the University of Nebras ka. Classes in agricultural industry should find the specimens of particu lar interest FRANKFORTER WILL GIVE OPEN LECTURE "Manufacture and Use of Ex plosives," Is Topic of Talk in Chemistry Hall. C. J. Frankf orter, assistant profes sor of chemistry, will be the speaker at an open lecture to be held Thurs day evening at 8 o'clock in the lec ture room of Chemistry Hall. His topic will be "The Manufacture and Use of Explosives." Members of Phi Xrjbda Upsilon, honorary chemistry fraternity, w..I also be chosen at the meeting. The fraternity is made up of men vho have high scholastic averages in chemistry. Members are elected by the active chapter with the adv'ce of the faculty. At the present time there are .eight members. The lecture for the evening will not be of a technical nature because it is open to the public The more common explosives will be taken up. their commercial and military uses being explained. Sixty samples of explosives will be shown during the lecture and two reels of motion pic tures, furnished by the Bureau of Mines and the Hercules Powder Company, will illustrate the speech. A new use for flesh-colored hose was recently discovered when a pro fessor got suspicious at West Vir ginia Wesleyan and carried on an in vestigation which brought out the startling fact that women were inscribing notes on their ankles which became easily visible when flesh-colored hose was drawn tight The psychology department of Temple University has abolished all examinations in the belief that they are inaccurate, antiquated, and influ enced by personalities. Dancing Is Most Popular Recreation At Oklahoma, Investigation Shows Information compiled by a profes sor of sociology at the University of Oklahoma regarding the favorite recreations of students showed that dancing was the most popular cam pus sport at that-institution. Ap proximately 75 per cent of both sexes answered his question by nam irg the terpsichorean art as their favorite amusement More women than men placed dancing as their first choice, however. Three sports tied in popularity with the women for second place hiking, swimming and bridge. It was thought that these diversions had largely developed since the students had enrolled in the University. Thir teen more pastimes were listed in the statistics, which are, listing them in order of their popularity: Tennis, skating, shows, reading, golf, motor ing, traveling-, hunting, fishing, bas ketball, football and basebalL It is noticeable that the prefer ence of the students was give largely to outdoor sports rather than the more quiet pastimes such as card- playing and reading. This may be explained by the fact that the stu dents spend so much of their time 1:30 Tuesday, although women were required to be in their houses from 10:30 till 11:30. Hundreds of couples took advan tage of this extension of time and at tended the celebration. The display by the engineers marked the begin ning of the annual week of celebra tion on the part of the engineers for their patron saint The first act in the celebration was the firing of "Old Trusty," the mys terious cannon owned by students in the College of Engineering, that makes itself heard only once a year on this occasion. Miss Maude Gard ner, engineers' queen, touched off the cannon. Besides the firing of the cannon, the display consisted of the setting off of a big supply of pryotechnics, including the largest skyrockets avail able. WIRE MANUFACTURE IS SHOWN IN FILM Engineers Will See Cinema Showing Cable-making in Friday Convocation. "The Single Ridge," a three-reel motion picture depicting the manu facture of insulated wires and cables, will be shown at the regular College of Engineering convocation at 10 o'clock Friday morning in Mechani cal Engineering 206. Prof. Clark E. Mickey, chairman of the department of civil engineering, will deliver the lecture explanatory of the film. Among the processes described will be the gathering and treatment of rubber, the drawing and treatment of copper wire, the two methods of ap plying the compound, the purpose and results or tne vulcanizing pro cess, and the various types and pur poses of outer coverings. SPECIAL LENTEN SERVICE Is Held at Vespers; Quartette Sings Tit Prayer Perfect" A special Lenten devotional ser vice was held at the regular Vesper hour in Ellen Smith Hall Tuesday evening at 5 o'clock. The service be gan with music and meditation, and was followed by reading from the scripture by Agnes Kessler, on the subject of the "Last Supper." After further silent prayer and meditation. a quartette composed of Thelma Mc- Murray, Mary Doremus, Virginia Neville, and Kathryn Dean sang The Prayer Perfect" Ida Flader Igave a reading, "The Sign of the i Cross." An electrically lighted cross has been arranged above the door of the room where Vespers are held. Next week the regular Passion ser vice will be held. All local fraternities, sororities and house clubs at the University of Michigan have passed into the finan cial control of the university. They will be required to submit plans, with a financial budget to the local committee before incurring any debts against the fraternity. Both fraternity and non-fraternity men at the University of Chicago ob ject to Dean E. II. Wilkin's idea that fraternities are injurious to college work. The interfraternity council will take some sort of action on a letter written them by Dean Wilkins. indoors that they welcome any op portunity to be out in the open. Tennis was especially a favorite among the men. They were also strong for the major sports although they listed the "movies" for a higher place than did the women. Men who had been in some sort of vacational business invariably chose golf as their recreation. The charts made from the data collected showed that many of the men played golf every afternoon that the weather permit ted. Baseball, football and basket ball were exclusively choices of men students. Women did not seem to think that even basketball was an interesting and profitable avocation. Statistics were also collected re garding the work done by students in the summer vacation. Practically all of them held some sort of posi tion during the intermission between school years. It was interesting that few of the students were engaged in the sort of vocation during the sum mer months that they in' ded to follow after they received Mr de gree. Pedagogy was the ch) field for the women students, but U-v nen differed widely in their choices. MAT MEET TO : START TODAY Preliminaries of Interfratern ity Wrestling Tourney Run from 4 to 6.
