ALL CANDIDATES NOW PRACTICING OUTSIDE The Nebraska Memorial stadium cinder track will be buzzing with ac tivity Saturday afternoon when the Husker squad engages in the final tryouts for the first outdoor dual meet of the year with Stanford Uni versity at Palo Alto, California. Coach Henry F. Schulte has extend ed an invitation to the public to watch the tryouts. They will be well worth watching, as there will be some good competition for places on the team which is limited to twenty two for the long trip to California. The tryouts will commence at2 :30 in the afternoon, on a schedule prob ably the sameas last Tuesday which will be announced today or tomor row. The tryouts will have to be the final competitions for places on the team, as the squad entrains the fol lowing Tuesday. The lull between successive meets ruled on the Husker track training grounds yesterday, some of the men still not extending themselves much after the meet last Saturday, and others saving for the tryouts Satur day. There were a few practice beats in the dashes, hurdles and mid dle distance runs, and the field event men performed as usual.

Olympic Star Says , Most Ambitious Sportsmen of England Without Overwhelming Desire to Be Victorious. . N "The American athletes are the most ambitious in the world with the possible exception of the Finns," says Nornjan Cleveland, who played on the United States 1924 Olympic games rugby team. Cleveland also played fullback on the Stanford Uni versity football team for three years. "The training, to which American football players subject themselves is more strenuous than that which for eign athletes will undergo," said Cleveland. Contrary to the opinions that American athletes are not as physically fit as Europeans, Cleve land points out the fact that the Americans were second only to the great Finnish runners in the dis tances, at the Olympic games in Eur ope last summer and were superior in sprints. Only forty per cent of the Finns who entered in the games won places, while fifty per cent of the Americans entered in the meet took places. English sportsmen are different from those of the continent. The English have a great love of sports for sports sake, and not for the win ning. Cleveland says that they will not train, because they enter athleitcs only for enjoyment. "When we play- ed against the English rugby team PLAYERS GIVE LAST PROGRAM "The Devil's Disciple" Will Be Presented at Temple The ater March 26-28. YENNE AND DOLORES BOSSE PLAY LEADS Bernard Shaw's great melodrama, "The Devil's Disciple," will be pre sented by the University Players as the concludnig production of the sea son in the Temple theater March 26 28. Herbert Yenne and Dolores Bos- se are playing lead roles. The play deals with a man, Rich ard Dudgeon, who had been brought up in a Puritan community. He re bels at the restrictions of the Puri tan life and leaves his home. After the death of his father he is forced to return home for the reading of the will. After his return he is mistaken for . . . . i I a minister ana is ween away 10 db hung. He bravely accepts the mas querade. Because the English Gen eral, whose watch is two minutes slow, will not go by American watch es, Richard Dudgeon gains the chance to live. During the two minutes, the minister returns to save him and re store his own good name. "The Devil's Disciple," one of Shaw's earliest plays, was written a quarter of a century ago. The play was first introduced to American au diences by Richard Mansfield. Mr. Shaw tries to prove that all good men are cowards and only blackguards can be counted on to do the right thing. The setting of the play is laid in New Hampshire during the Revolu tionary war. The stage settings of the play are being done by students in the stage design class under the instruction of Dwight Kirsh. Tho play will also be costumed in the style of those days. The entire cast of the play is as follows: Mrs. Dudgeon Marion Sargent Essie Pauline Gellattly. Christy Ray Ramsey. Uncle Titus Dudgeon Henry Ley. Uncle William Dudgeon Ed ward Taylor. Mrs. William Dudgeon Flor ence Flodeen. Richard Dudgeon Herbert Yenne Lawyer Hawkins Dwight Merri am. Major Swindon Harold Sumption Sergeant Clyde Cono. Chaplain Henry Ley. Hangman Harold Stribling. Judith Anderson Dolores Bosse. Rev. Anderson Hart Jenks. NOTED EDUCATOR TO SPEAK Prof. Morkovin to Diicnte Geniui of Slavonic People Professor Boris V. Morkovin of Prague University will speak at the University convocation in the Temple theater April 2. The Title of this illustrated lecture will be "The Life and Creative Genius of Slavonic Peo ple." A speaking tour which began at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and will terminate In. the large univer- sities of the Pacific coast Prof essor Morkovin to the brings United States. Americans Are Athletes In World we did not know which side the spec tators favored because they rooted for the good plays of both teams. In contrast to the English, the people of the Latin countries place all glorifi cation on the winner and disgrace on the loser." Cleveland feels that when nations can meet on the athletic field and forget international ill feelings, the games held every four years will be a great promoter of peace. "There should be more contests between the British empire and the United States because these two nations fully re alize the value of athletics and the correct manner in carrying them out," he said.
