MEREMEN BARELY LOSE
Vogelcr's Tank Squad Bows
To Drake Plungers by
Two Points.
Last Saturday was a big day in
Hunker athletics.
In four starts Nebraska sports
men turned in three wins and some
exceptional performances. Okla
homa fell before Charley Blacks
representatives 41 to 30 in the
curtain game of the season. "In
dian" Schulte's spiked papooses
pallopcd away with a track vic
tory over a Kansas Aggie team,
Hfl-hS; wrestlers under the wing of
John Kellogg tamed the Tigers in
Missouri 24 to 6 and Rudy Vogel
ers mermen barely lost to a Drake
swimming team In Omaha 43 to
41.
The Rooner-Husker goal tri
umph guaranteed Nebraska at
lf.ast a tie for second place in Big
Six basketball for the season and
ended the loop careers of six Ued
and White hoopsters.
Smutny Sets Record.
In the track show George Smut
ny, the hurdling sprinter from
Seward, set a new world record In
the 60-yard low hurdles when he
ran them in 6.3 seconds. The for
mer world record of 7.2 was held
jointly by Werner of Illinois and
Guthrie of Ohio State. Smutny
skipped over the 60-yard highs in
7.8 seconds and in so doing he
equalled the Big Six indoor mark
set by Thompson of Nebraska at
Columbia last year.
Hugh Rhea did his fifty feet and
one inch act in the shot put and
Dean executed the best pole vault
in his experience clearing the bar
at 12 feet 6 inches.
At Columbia Husker wrestlers
threw the Missourians about for
three falls and three decisions to
score their 24-6 win. Reese, Adams
and White earned slaps on the
back in their weights.
Amato Gain Two Seconds.
Sammy Amato broke the 100
yard free style Bib Six record by
two full seconds when he stroked
that distance in one minute four
tenths seconds. Amato also made
a game attempt to cut down a
half lap lead in the medley relay
failing only by inches in the event
that finally balanced the score in
favor of Drake by 2 points. Amato
also took first in the 50-yard print.

KANSAS EDITOR WILL
William Allen White
Preach Sermon
K. U. Seniors.
Is to
for
LAWRENCE, Kas. William Al
len White, Kansas editor and au
thor, will preach a lay-sermon
Baccalaurcat? Sunday, June 7, for
the fifty-ninth graduating class of
the University of Kansas.
V announcing Mr. White's ac
ceptance, Chancellor Lindley added
that previous announcement had
been made that the commencement
address, June 8, would be made by
Glenn Frank, president of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin.
Two years ago, a lay-sermon for
commencement was preached by
Robert A. Millikan, noted physicist
of Pasadena, Calii.
The graduating class of 1931. the
fifty-ninth to be graduated from
the university, will number about
1,000 persons, since the number
which has already finished its
work, or is enrolled in the final
class-hours, is about the same as
last year.
Mr. White, who in 1S86-1890,
was a student at the university,
and later was a member of its
board of regents, has been a fre
quent speaker at the university,
both at meetings of newspaper
men, and for general convocations.
Gym Class at K. IL
Depicts Basketball
As Hayed in 1891
LAWRENCE. Kas. The game
of basketball, as it was played in
1891 at Springfield college, Spring
field, Mass., soon after its inven
tion by Dr. James Naismith, pro
fessor of physical education, now
at Kansas university, was recently
re-enacted by one of the gym
nasium classes at the University
of Kansas. The game was played
for the Paramount Sound News
which was here for the express
purpose of recording the old style
game of basketball on film.
The court facilities for the game
were arranged as they were on
that eventful day back in 1891
when the game was first played.
There were nine men on each side
and for the purpose of goals, a
peach basket was used at each end
of the court. Dr. Naismith declared
that the reason he started with
nine men on each side was that
his class in physical education
numbered eighteen.
In putting the ball into play the
referee stood outside the bound
aries and threw the ball into the
middle of the court. A scramble
for the ball ensued and the game
was on. In those days one foul re
moved a man from the game but
the loss of a player or two did not
seem to make much difference as
eighteen men on the court made
playing conditions quite congested.

Antonio Cortis, Tenor of Civic Opera
Company, Will Play Part of Turiddu
In Cavalleria Rusticana' March 17
Antonio Cortis, tenor of the
Chicago Civic Opera company who
will be heard when that famous
organization apears at the Uni
versity of Nebraska coliseum,
Tuesday, March 17, already is well
known to music lovers of Nebras
ka. When Civic Opera made its first
appearance at the coliseum four
years ago, "II Trovatore" with the
famous Diva. Rosa Raisa, was the
opera presented. While Raisa eas
ily lived up to her reputation as
n.'ie of the world's greatest singers
ii was also Cortis that took the
la :cv of the record crowd which
torn, d the Verdi opera. Cortis ap
peared in the role of "Manrico"
four years ago. This year with the
great Claudia Muzio in "Cavalleria
Rusticana" he will portray the role
of Turiddu.
Born on Ship.
Cortis was born on a ship on
the high seas, the boat crossing
from Algiers to Valencia in Spain.
As he was only a few hours old
when the ship docked, Valencia
can lay claim to him as one of
her distinguished citizens.
He was hardly old enough to
walk when he began taking an in
terest in music. At the age of
eight he bad become a singer in a
small way. He took violin lessons,
and sang in the cathedral choir at
Madrid. The violin nearly caught
him at this time as he became very
proficient with it, and at eleven he
began playing in an orchestra.
But now he was to prove the fal
lacy of the belief that a beautiful
child songer neevr keeps his fine
voice as a man. When Cortis' voice
changed it was found ot be a mag
nificent tenor. Yielding to his
friends' advice, he turned to a vo
cal career, and st eighteen, he
made his operatic debut at Bar
celona, his fellow singers, especi
ally the soprano Maria Barrientos,
convinced him that his operatic ca
reer bad already had a triumphant
beginning.
Sings in Valencia.
In 1927, long after he had been
Binging leading roles elsewhere,
Valencia had its first chance to
hear its own tenor. The welcome
was epoch making, and of the sort
possible only in Latin Europe. As
no theater could bold the whole
city, the performances were held
in the bull ring. Cortis sang in "La
Tosca," "La Boheme" and "1 Pag
lisccl." All sorts of honors were
heaped on him.
The principal theater was re
named "Teatro Cortis." A public
square was named "Plaza del
Tenor Cortiti." A bust of Cortis
was unveiled with all the cere
monies dear to the hearts' of the
south of Europe. Finally, one of
the world's greatest bullfighters.
Sanchez Mejia, joined with Cortis'
friend, the Marquis del Camp, to
dedicate a bullfight to the town's
hero.

state tournaments. No city tourna
ment is complete without Joe's
name on the entry list. During the
last year Joe played tennis on the
averse or tnree or lour times n
week, playing- on an inaoor coun
when the weather was cold or
rainy.
New Game is Faster.
According to Joe, the game Is
much faster now than it used to
be. Tart of this is due to the Im
provement1 in the racket, and
much of it is due to speeding up
of the offensive attack. Where the
players formerly were content to
play a slow defensive game, today
as a general rule they play a fast
offensive one.
The increased efficiency of col
lege tennis is shown by the selec
tion of such players as Johnny
Doeg, John Van Ryn. George Lott,
Cliff Sutter. Berkley Bell, all rc-
! cent college stars, as the outstand

Antonio Cortis Sings
Tenor Leeds in Opera
Mr. Cortis will sing the role of
"Turiddu" in "Cavalleria Rusti
cana" when the Chicago Civic
Opera company presents the opera
at the University of Nebraska
coliseum, Tuesday, March 37.
Royal Opera in Madrid was the
greatest triumph o his early ca
reer. He sang the leading tenor
role of "La Tosca," and afterward
the audience caught him at the
stage door, and carried him aloft
thru the streets. It was during his
engagement in Madrid that he met
Caruso, who encouraged and
helped him.
In IBI'4, Cortis came to Amer
ica, and joined the Chicago Civic
Opera company. Since then, when
free from his duties with the Chi
cago company, he has filled en
gagements in Sout America, Italy
and other countries.
With Cortis in the cast for
"Cavalleria Rust'cana," will be
Claudia Muzio. Con3tance Eber
hart, Jenny Toural, and Desire De
frore. The other opera to be pre
sented the same evening is "I Pag
liacci" and will bring such great
artists as Richard Bonelli, Charles
Marshall, Hilda Burke.

struction develops into a fair
player," said Joe, "and, of course,
constant practice is necessary to
become a good player. The nice
thing about tennis however, is that
it is a game for young and old."
Of course, anyone who knows
anything about the game, knows
that there are in reality two games
the singles game and the doubles.
Singles is the faster of the two
games, altho, doubles requires
more teamwork.
"I prefer singles," said Joe, "al
tho I do enjoy a game of doubles
occasionally."
When asked how long he ex
pected to play tennis, Joe didn't
know. He left the impression,
however, that as long as he is able
to grip a racket he will play the
game, as he has in the past, hard
and clean.
HUSKERS GIVEN EDGE

Iowa State Also Conceded
Good Chance in Annual
Indoor Track.
RHEA, SMUTNY LEADERS
News dispatches dope Nebraska
and Iowa State as favorites in the
Big Six indoor track meet to be
held in Columbia, Mo., this week
end. Last year the Huskers won
the affair with 31 points to barely
edge out victorious over the 272
tallies the spiked Cyclones were
able to collect.
Two first place winners of the
1930 season are absent from Coach
Schulte's squad these days. Bill
Ossian who was able to pole vault
13 feet Vb inch for a Big Six rec
ord and Thompson who held the
best conference time in the 60 yard
high hurdles.
Schulte Not Worried.
Schulte is not worried about that
after the way George Smutny tied
the 7.8 second mark for the 60
yard highs, may have set a world
record in the 60-yard lows and
came within a tentn ot a second
of the world record for the 60-yard
dash against Kansas Aggies Sat
urday.
Hugh Rhea is the conceded King
in the shot put event and will
threaten the indoor record of 48
feet 7 inches left by Jim Bausch
of Kansas last year.
Iowa State has lost Meier who
ran the 60-yard dash in world rec
ord time in' 1930, but still has Put
nam, two-mile champion, and Ha-
gar, low hurdle flash.
Vets Missing.
Kansas university and Missouri
are pressed for veteran material,
but word from Norman hints that
the Sooners may surprise in some
events. In try outs Saturday Don
Adkison, a sophomore dash man
was caught by three clocks at 6.2
seconds in the 60-yard sprint. A

repertoire. The University Players
always try to present the best
plays available at the time as they
have been performed in the great
dramatic centers of New York,
Boston and Chicago.
Royalties DeDend on Play.
The royalties of any play depend
of course, on the production naeii,
its success, and the author's con
tract with the publishers. As t
rule, most plays cannot be pro
duced until they have had a run in
New York. Then the release is
usually confined, for a time at
least, to Drofessional actors, as
definitely distinguished from ama
teur players in the dramatic
world..
"The University Players, con
cluded Miss Howell, "enjoy a semi
professional standing, as we pre
sent each production for a week at
a time, under the best auspices
possible. That is how we are able
to present such recent popular Luc
cesses as "Journey's End," "Holi
day," and "Ladies of the Jury

groups that some really construc

Wolf of the Blue Shirts said Mon
day. "The political groups hope

Gomon reiterated Wolf's declar
ation in calling Yellow jacket

Sigma Phi Epsilon house. In
calling the group together, he de
clared that his party stands ready
to work with any group in any
