In the other game tonight Kansas university tackles the Kansas State Wildcats. Saturday the winners will tangle for the championship while losers will battle for consolation honors. On the basis of performances thus far, the Jayhawkers of Phog Allen must be favored. Although their scoring machine has failed to function at top efficiency yet, the Kansans, with Charley Black back in Red and Blue liveries, and big Art Peterson on hand, appear to have a definite edge over the other three teams. However, the season has not advanced far enough to enable observers to get a definite picture of the strength of the other three squads. Nebraska has turned in two mediocre performances in their only starts to date. Tuesday's! Church . . . (Continued from Page 1.) be "University of Life.

College Activities Bldg. at Ag Sponsored By the Student Union n n rr m rr Br Miller victory over South Dakota was marred by sloppy passing and slipshod basket shooting. Both of these troubles cleared up as the second half progressed, and at times the Huskers showed flashes of real ability. With plenty of tall men on hand, Coach Klein has the task of molding five men into a smooth working unit, and he has been giving all varsity members a chance to show their wares in the two games the Huskers have played. Don Barry's actions against the Coyotes showed that the Norfolk tall boy knows his way around a basketball floor and when his basket eye is right he is a diffi cult man to stop. With a few more fames on tap before conference play begins, the green Iluskers should pick up that much needed experience nec essary to a winning ball team. Big Six foes will find the Scarlet a tough customer when basketball action begins in earnest. The Huskers make their next home appearance against Doug Mills' Illinois five on December 20, and the brand of ball displayed by the Illini should bring the fans out in goodly numbers. Les Livingston's Nubbins five will open action on the 20th with ft preliminary game against the Kearney Army Air Base quintet 33rd and Starr. Special music has also been planned.

Play (Continued from Page 1.) Mary Paulson portrayed very well the sharp-tongued Juno, and she achieved the typical dialect of an Irish woman. Her speech was rapid, however, and at times some of the better lines of her part were missed. Janet Johnson, who played Mary Boyle, failed to make her self heard at all times, but her characterization of the girl with the lost love was well handled. Richard Ingwerson, as Johnnie Boyle, during the play remained the neurotic, superstitious son, yet his interpretation could have been heavier. In the role of M a i s i e Madigan, Gloria Beaumont held her part well. Her unstable hair do in the second act, though not intended, added considerably to her characterization. The climax of dramatic acting of the tragedy was the appear- THE NEBRASKAN Cyclones Lead Big Six Teams in Point Score A compilation of football scor ing totals of Big Six schools shows that the third place Iowa State Cyclones led all member schools in points per game av erages. The Ames eleven was good for an average total of 19.5 points per game in their eight gridiron encounters this season. Second in the overall season averages was Oklahoma with an average of 16.9 points per game during a ten game schedule. Strangely enough, Nebraska was third in the overall seaso i scoring averages with an average of 16.1 points per game for nine games. Most of the credit for this total roes ta the University of South Dakota, for the Coyotes played dead and the II u s k e r s amassed 53 points one Saturday afternoon. Things were different on the defensive side, for Kansas State and the Huskers were the weak sisters of the conference when it came to keeping the opposition from scoring. Against the Wild cats, 33.3 points for the opposing team was the average, while the Huskers allowed 22.2 points per ance of Mrs. Tancred, played by Dorthea Duxbury, who mourned over her dead son. This scene displayed professional technique on the pait of Miss Duxbury and other members of the cast. Supporting aCst. The supporting cast, including Robert Baum as Jerry Devine, Lawrence Gilling as Charlie Ben- tham, and Van Westover as Needle" Nungent, carried their parts well, and kept within the general spirit of the play. Bit parts were handled by James Frans, Bernard Suits, Maurice Johnson, Die O'Meary, Richard Freethy; and John Kormos. Compliments are due to the production crews for their ex cellent jobs. Especially effective were costumes, makeup, and stage sets. CLASSIFIED SHEAFFER Lifetime Pen. brown with Bold cap. Elirabetfa Curley. 1-1926. LOST Brown Shaeffer Dorothy Kroft. 2-2153. pea Monday.
