By Jack Elliott
A third Missouri Valley champion-
ghip team was the result of Coach
Ewald "Jumbo" Stiehm'a third year
u coach at the University of Ne
braska. Stiehm brought Nebraska
football up the highest plane it had
occupied since the beginning of the
pigskin pastime at Nebraska. He had
turned out a Missouri Valley cham
pionship team in both football and
basketball in 1912-13 and put Ne
braska athletics foremost in the pon
ference of the Missouri Valley. The
first championship basketball team at
Nebraska was turned out by Coach
Stiehm. '
At the opening of the fall practice
season in September 1913 many spe
culations were heard on the Ne
braska campus in regard to the foot
ball team's prospects. The initial
game of the season was on October 5
with Washburn College of Topeka,
Kansas, and the machine of Coach
Stiehm easily won over the Kannas,
taking the count 19 to 0. The next
week, the Kansas Aggies, one of the
baby members of the conference
were met on Nebraska field and de
feated 24 to 6, thus advancing thef
Nebraska footballers on their road to
the championship.
Minnesota Loses Second Game
The big game of the season was
with the Minnesota Gophers. Min
nesota had met Nebraska nearily
every year in all three branches of
the major sports, but the Huskers
only managed to win from the Goph
ers but once in all their battles on the
gridiron. This year Coach Stiehm
pointed his Cornhusker warriers for
the big game with the Minnesota
eleven and for the second time in
history Nebraska beat the Minnesota
eleven in football.
It was one of the greatest battles
of the year and the work of Towle
and Beck on the forward passes,
" Howard on punting, and Pnrdy,
Towle and Halligan on the end runs
enabled the Husker eleven to put a
win across on its northern rival. A
pass from Towle to Beck who charged
over the Gopher line for the touch
down that won the game was the fea
ture of the afternoon's encounter.
Beck added his name to that of
Bender, as being one of the only two
Nebraskng to ever score a winning
touchdown against the ever victorious
.Minnesota eleven.
Haskell Was Difficult
With the defeat of the Gophers,
Jack Best, Nebraska trainer realised
the dreams of a lifetime to beat
Minnesota. No one starred in par
ticular for Nebraska but the work of

depend on the number of students
who are willing to furnish their autos
and carry extra passengers for the

Talk on Modern Drama Over Radio
"Jane Klegg," a powerful social
drama by St. John Erbine, was re
viewed by Prof. Paul H. Grummann,
director of the School of Flnei Arts,
Tuesday evening, in the last of a se
ries of radio talks on the modern
drama. The play depicts the trag
edy of a voman, tied to a man whose
level is UiFtinctly below her own, who
tries to work out her salvation and
that of her children in the face of a
bad situation.
Jane,- a young woman of splendid
ideals and a natural instinct for re
finement, marries Henry Klegg, who
belongs to a family of totally differ
ent instincts, and is disillusioned at
the very altar. From then on her
life with this "lying rotter" is one
disillusionment after another, but
she strrigfrks bravely on for the sake
of their children.
Character of Henry Well Developed
The character of Henry is especial
ly well developed, according to Pro
fessor Grummann, and the effect of
his unfortunate heritage and environ
ment is well brought out by the
suthor. He lies- hi actions as well as
in words, and throughout the play,

DECKER PRESENTS RECITAL
University Professor Gives Program
At Fine Arts Convocation
Mr. Herman T. Decker, baritone,
of the School of Music, gave his re
cital at a fine arts convocation in the
Temple Tuesday at eleven o'clock.
He was accompanied by Jean Erick
son Decker. His program was ta
follows:
I
Come raggio di sol Cadara, 1671

the one thing to which he remains
loyal is a woman a little worse 4han
himself, a woman whom he elects to
go away with, in the end, in prefer
ence to t;e superior Jane.
During the whole play, Jane, a
true moral heroine, is fighting for
the welfare of her two children. Her
every act is governed by this consid
eration for their future and her cour
age in resisting Henry, his ignorant
and diabolical old mother, and his
stolid father, single-handed, is proof
enough of her habitual greatness.
Drama Has Little -Physics! Action
"This drama," Professor Grum
mann remarked, "is one with almost
no physical action, but in that re
spect it is in accordance with drama
of the highest type, that of the
ancient Greeks. The characters are
plastic, real individuals, and the chil
dren are not negligible stage prop
erty, as one might suppose, but are
presented as natural youngsters with
the faults and possibilities of chil
dren." Erbine has characterized his fig
ures by their use of language alone,

DRAMATIC STUDENTS
GIVE SEHIOR RECITALS
Alyce Connell, Lucille Harris, Esther
ZinncVr, Thad Cone Present
Four Plays This Evening
The players in the senior recital of
the dramatic department are divided
into two groups, the first group pre
senting their acts this evening at
8:15 o'clock, and the second group
giving their program at 8:15 o'clock
next Tuesday, May 17.
A senior recital has not been given
in this university for two or three
years, according to Miss Howell, head
of the dramatic department. Miss
Howell said that one reason for not
giving recitals has been that she has
not been able to secure the Temple
theater for the purpose.
All the acts being presented are
taken' from the best literature and
vary in subject matter from material
found in heavier plays to that found
in lierature of a lighter vein. The
acts are all chosen from three act
plays. '
Players Are Seniors
The players taking part in the re
cital are students in the senior class
of the Dramatic department. These
special students were chosen, because
their readings fitted in appropriately
with the type of program that had
been planned for the recital. All of
the players have previously appeared
in the plays from which their acts
are taken for the recital.
Most of the rehearsing for the re
cital has been done in the regular
class work, outside of which not

Nebraskans Pray for
Clement Weather as
Fete Day Approaches
With "Nebraska Fete Day" and
the annual inspection approaching
this week-end, the weather man is
probably the most important person
on the campus. All eyes are cast in
his direction, for he has the burden
of deciding whether the Nebraska
regiment shows up as a snappy outfit
marching in the spring sunshine, or a
mud-spattered gang of men sliding
around knee-deep in mud on the drill
field.
He must also decide whether the
high school track meet is to be a fast
or slow, pleasant or disagreeable af
fair. In fact there is so much con
nected with Nebraska Fete Day such
as debating, scholastic meets and the
entertainment of the high school peo
ple by ;he University students that
many persons are going to be dissap
pointed if the weather man orders
ram, snow, sieet or coia wwvntr a
hi has threatened to do the past
week.
Sensing his importance, the weath
er man has turned a deaf ear to all
inquiries regarding the weather for
these two days. Thei only statement
he would put forth was "probably
showers Thursday and Friday with
variable but seasonal temperature."
Registration for Fall
Will Start Next Monday
Regiateiatiou for next fall will
begin Monday, May 16 and will
continue all week until Saturday
noon, May 21. Students should
see their advisors and the dean of
their college as early in the week
as possible, according to Miss Mc
Gahey, registrar.
LAW FEAST WILL
BE HELD FRIDAY
Tickets Go on Sale Tomorrow
For Barbecue in Honor
Of Professor Dodd
EVENTS START AT NOON
Tickets will go on sale tomorrow
for the Law College Barbecue to be
held Friday, May 27, at the Lincoln
Auto Club. The price of the tickets
is $1, and they may be secured from
any of the following in the Law
building: A. J. Luebs, "Fly" Lewis,
John Kuns, William H e i n, Mr.
Gaughan, "Sim" Morton, Charles
Uhlig, and Robert Mansfield.
The Barbecue is being held in hon
or of Prof. E. Merrick Dodd, of the
College of Law, who will leave early
in Tune for the University of Chicago
where he has been appointed acting
professor of law to teach the subject
of equity.
Professor Dodd came to Nebraska
in 1923. He is a graduate of both
Harvard College and Harvard Law
school, and has had several years' ex
perience with law firms in New York
and Boston. His specialties here
have been corporation law and
equity.
As editor of the Nebraska Law
Bulletin he has rendered valuable
service to the bar of this state. He
has also contributed a number of
articles to the leading law reviews.
His leaving will be a distinct loss to
this school, and to the students as
well.
The law students are canvassing all
of the lawyers in the city to attend
the Barbecue. Transportation ar
rangements are being made for those
who haven't cars, and a committee
on entertainment is working out
plans for amusement throughout the
afternoon. The Barbecue lunch
will be served at noon, 12 o'clock
sharp.

MISS ROBHETT TALKS
AT VESPER SERVICE
Health is Biggest Factor, Remarks
Personnel Worker in Discussing;
Personality of Women.
"College women entering the busi
ness field today must be keener than
their predecessers," said Miss Flor
ence Robnett in her talk on "Person
ality" at the vesper service yester
day. "There are several habits to be
acquired or rather several millstones
to be passed before we reach our goal
in our chosen work.
"Health is the biggest factor of
all. Everyone should make a habit
of health for without it success is
fruitless. Cleanliness, not overin
dulgence in social diversions, good
dispositions are all part of this nec
essary habit."
Miss Robnett said that college girls
should find it easy to cooperate with
their co-workers after their four
years experience at the college or
university.
"Voice control, the modulating of
one's speaking voice so that it does
not squeak or grate on a person's
ears is a great asset, for the most
wonderful personality can be ruined
by a unpleasant voice."
According to the personnel worker
punctuality, reliability, and daily
exercise of judgment all lead to re
ward in the business world."
Eloise Keefer was in charge of the
meeting. Evelyn Bauer gave a piano
solo.
