In an effort to meet the demands of the public for both classical and popular music, Lieutenant Charles
Benter, director of the United States Navy band, which will appear at the University Coliseum, November 6,
under the auspices of the University of Nebraska, has organized a number of smaller combinations within
his organization to supply the little fancies. The jazz band is one of the most popular of these smaller com
binations, and those who attend the concert will be given "a few minutes with the U. S. Navy Jazz Band."
The concert of the Navy band is carefully balanced and should satisfy the most discerning taste for the clas
sical, as well as delight those who are not so exacting.

Exhibits Brilliant Ground-gaining Runs

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, Oct. 23 (Special) Displaying
a powerful line-plunging attack, the Huskers triumphed over
the Jayhawkers this afternoon before a crowd of about twenty
thousand fans by a 20-to-3 score. Not until the last quarter,
when Nebraska smashed through for two touchdowns, was the
game safely snatched from the fighting Kansas squad.
Glenn Presnell, ploughing and twisting through the Jay
hawk line, for two touchdowns, was the main factor in the
crumbling of the Kansas defense. It was Presnell's day and
he gained more yardage than the combined efforts of the opposition.

Swarthmore College Described
In Letter From Douglas Orr
Douglass Orr, ex '27, who is at
tending Swarthmore College this
year, where he is an honor student,
has written to The Daily Nebraskan
the following account of his im
pressions at this famous eastern col
lege:
Swarthmore, Pa.
October 19, 1926.
To the Editor:
The only word of advice that I had
in going to college was that I should
stop trying to reform things for a
while. But since your managing edi
tor bas requested it, I don't think that
purely descriptive account of my
experiments in a co-educational
Eastern college will fly in the face of
that advice. Therefore, please for
give this intrusion into your columns.
Swarthmore College is more or less
what the University of Nebraska Arts
College would be if it were limited
to five hundred students and if each
freshman class of ona hundred and
fifty were selected from twelve bun
dred applicants. It is a liberal col
lege, but it offers courses in engin
eering and in education leading to
the B, S. degree. But there are some
rather important differences from
GRIDMEN
In a heroic exhibition of real foot
ball nerve, Blue Howell, whose in
juries of last Saturday had kept him
from a week of scrimmage, entered
the game in the last quarter and in
two plays carried the ball six yards
for the second touchdown. Blue in
jured his weak ankle on the scoring
plunge and was carried from the
field. The injury will not keep him
out of the Ames contest, it was re
ported after the game.
Frank Mielenz broke away for sev
eral brilliant ground-gaining runs.
Dailey, Oehlrich, and Stephens were
other backs who made it a long after
noon for the Kansas defensive.
Forward Wall Excel
The work of the forward wall was
marked feature of the game. The
line gave their backfield plenty cf
time to do their punting and passing,
while they sifted through and hurried
the attempts of the Jayhawks. Whit
more, whose one hundred eighty
one pounds of aggressive spirit have
kept him in the lineup longer than
any other guard, and Holm, who
made his debut in the line, took care
of the middle of the line in good
shape. Weir and Burnham allowed no
yardage around the ends, and Cap
tain Stiner and Ashburn were cutting
plays short before they were under
wsy. To sum it up, eleven Cornhus
kers were playing the game every
minute of the tussle in the best exhi
bition of football seen this season.
The Jayhawkers fought hard but
they were unable to compete with the
-Husker line smashes. The punting of
Wellman and Zuber was the out
standing feature of the Kansas plsy,
while the passing combination, ZnT
ber to Burton, was a constant scor
ing threat. Tht one scoring play came
in the second quarter, when Wall's
place-kick from the forty-three yard
line was good for three points.
Eren Contest in First Quarter
The game was evenly contested
during the first quarter and neither
was able to s'ore. Kansas gained
ground on their exchange of punts,
but lost yardage :n the scrimmage.
Stephens threatened to score on a
placement but the attempt fell short.
The opportunity for the Huskers
to score came cn the first play of the
secend qurrter when Mielenz recov
ered his own fumble and tossed the
ball to Stephens who completed a
twenty-five-yard px.os to Presnell, who
raced fifteen yards behind good inter
ference for a touchdown. Stephens
booted the extra point from place
ment. The second touchdown came in tht
f o or t h quarter when Stephens
brought the ball within scoring dis
tance by returning Zuber's fifty-five
yard punt to the Kansas twenty-eight
yard line. Line plunges by Presnell
and Dailev brought the ball to the
eight-yard line. The Kansas line stif
fened and two attempts faied to
bring the ball past the six-yard mark.
Blue Howell entered the eame and

other liberal colleges; these may be
of interest.
To be graduated with an A. B. a
student must have a reading know
ledge of two languages, preferably
two modern languages, French and
German. It is expected that this re
quirement will be worked off by the
end of the second year, especially in
the case of those who wish to read
for honors. The courses of the first
two years are rather rigidly pre
scribed, care being taken that the
student has thorough courses in col
lege mathematics, English literature
and composition, one of the impor
tant physical or biological sciences.

education.
It is the so-called honors courses.
however, that are the particular and
peculiar glory of Swarthmore. About
fifty juniors and seniors read for
honors. They are admitted to do work
in honors at the beginning of the
junior year, having proved them
selves apt students with about "B")
averages in the first two years. A
description of my own work may give
