Lights! Action! Music! Tomor
row morning promptly at 9 o'clock
the curtain of the Stuart theater
rises on the 1938 Kosmet Klub fall
revue, featuring 13 variety acts of
fraternity and sorority groups, and
the presentation of the new Ne
braska Sweetheart.
Advance ticket sales for the
show have been unusually brisk,
according to Bob Gannon, Klub
business manager, and with the
added sales always made at the
theater box office the morning of
the revue, he hopes to fill the 1,'900
seat house.
Three silver loving cups will be
awarded to the best fraternity
full-stage act, best sorority full
stage skit, and best curtain act,
respectively. Judging will be con
ducted on the basis of audience
applause.
In a Frat Dorm.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon will pre
sent a skit entitled "From Bed to
Worse" offering an inside look at
What Goes on in Fraternity Dorm
itories. Those who have seen the
act In rehearsal rate it as hilari
ous stuff, with much ac tion.
"Frosted Swing," is the offering
of Alpha Omicron Pi, and features
penguins Marian Miller and Mar
jorle Bannister. There is also a
high-stepping, trucking, shagging
chorus that manages to warm up
the cold, cold north pole locale of
the act. Josephine Ley and Ruby
McGee lead the chorus.
Father Divine and his colored
brethren are lampooned by the Al
pha Sigma Phi's in their skit,
"God's Gift to Humanity." Walt
Cropper plays Father Delight, and
other black-faced members of the
cast keep busy with songs and
crap games.
In the Good Old Days.
Sigma Kappa's present a c.ir
tained act, in which Betty Lehman
and Emma Marie Schuttloffel por
tray an old married couple remin
iscing; over the good old days they
spent fit dear old Nebraska U.
The struggle of university stu
dents to get past St. Peter's gate
is the dramatic business of "For
Heaven's Sake," Phi Mu skit. Lor
ainc Elmborg takes the role of St.
Peter, and among those seeking
entrance are Kay Lindblad and
Eleanor Greusel as B. M. O. C.'s,
and Eleanor Beith and Lucille Fry
as Independent Barbs. There is
also a chorus.
Sigma Chi's will amuse the
Thanksgiving morning audience
with a takeoff, on Fred Allen's
radio show, with plenty of wise
cracks and impersonations prom
ised. Other skits in the show are Kap
pa Kappa Gamma's "Flub Mat
inee,'1 the Betas' "Shades of Blue,"
Delta Gamma's "Awgwan," Alpha
Tau Omega's "Tobacco Row," Phi

Scribe Offers Hints
On Picking Pigskinners
By Brus Kamel.
The time has come, the walrus
said, to scribble many reams on
linemen, halfbacks, fullbacks, too,
of All-American teams. Thus para

of nonsense rhymes, we, launch
Into a phillipic on modern sporting

Casting all meter and caution to
the four winds, the tripe writer
clicks haltingly on its way on a
discussion of "How to Pick an All
Star Team." Around Thanksgiv

writer retires to his padded cell
with a batch of newspaper head
lines, autoumn momeries, personal
prejudices, and delusions of "ex
pertism," and emerges sometime
later with a headache, misgivings,
and some kind of an All-Star team,
be it All-American, All-Western,
All Big Six, All-State or All-City.
F.very sportswriter disagrees
with everyone else. He has to in

reads the newspaper so he can
privately cuss the article and write

It's Very C:.sy.
It is easy to pick an "all" team.
And yet perhaps a few hints on
how to go about selecting one

who don't know the difference be

The first step in selecting an

Fullback Duel Takes
Spotlight As Ten Uni
Gridders End Careers
BY NORMAN HARNS.
King football's three month
reign over the University of Ne
braska campus will end tomorrow,
when Nebraska's red-shirted Corn
huskers meet Wes Fry's young
men from Manhattan, Kansas, in
the season's finale in Memorial
stadium.
With both the Huskers and the
Wildcats out of the running for
any Big Six honors, the two nquads
will present just a football game,
which promises to be the closest of
the home season.
Wildcat fury was savage enough,
to conquer Missouri, with Tiger
Paul Christman's passes account
ing for most of the Tiger yard
age. That same Master Christman
turned Tiger defeat into victory
when he passed Mizzou into a 13
to 10 victory after Nebraska had
taken a 10 to 7 lead at the start of
the second half.
16 Play Last Game.
Reversal of form saw the Wild
cats' claws trimmed when K.U.'a
Jayhawkers flashed their best
form of the season to tame Fry's
Cats, 27 to 7. Then, along came
the Huskers, figured by Mount
Oreadians as another K.U. victim,
to snipe the Jayhawks in Law
rence, 16 to 7, in the last five min
utes. Tomorrow marks the final ap
pearance of ten Cornhusker sen
iors and a sextet of Manhattan
fourth year men.
Nebraska seniors will be honored
this morning in the Union ballroom
at 11 o'clock. Further details ff
the ceremonies and accompanying
rally can be read in other Nebras
kan columns.
Betting odds on tomorrow's
game have downtown sharks
skeptical about taking either team.
Records of the year devulge noth
ing to them. Both teams will be
at full strength, altho Huskcr
Harry Hopp will not be used tin
less necessary. His kicking, ul
ways a factor in Nebraska's play,
plus his passing and line bucking
may be missed, but able Bus

Major L. M. Jones stated yester

Omaha's Exchange club advo

the two fichxils, with the proceeds

the club's president, has been cm
powered to approach athletic di

question, but as yet no statement
has been made by him to Indicate)
whether he has acted.
Club speakers advocated the
game on th'' basis that the two
teams are nearer matched this
year than at any other time, with
Creighton having one of its best
years, and the Huskers in the
midst of a rather unsuccessful sea
