"FAUST" LEADS Cay Worcester and Jack Wenstrand, playing the
parts of Margarita and Faust, will lead the cast of 24 in the Uni
versity Theatre presentation of Goethe's Faust in the Nebraska
theater Oct. 31 through Nov. 2.
61 S
When Goethe's "Faust" opens
the 1949-'50 University Theatre
season tonight, weeks of backstage
Work will go into high gear.
The elaborate production, the
first of the Theatre's five sched
uled full-length plays, will be
given at the Nebraska theater,
12th and P Sts., beginning at 8
p.m.
It will run for three nights.
As the show "hits the boards,"
William Ellis, Theatre technical
director, reflects on the time it
takes his backstage crew to pre
pare an undertaking like the
Cloothe masterpiece.
"As far as technical work is
concerned, it is a tremendous
task," says Ellis, "however the
students did a wonderful job."
For "Faust," both students in
the cast and the technical staff
constructed original costumes.
"Even the designs were original,"
commented Ellis. According to the
technical director, this is the first
time in many years that such a
project has been attempted.
78 Costumes.
Altogether there will be 78 dif
ferent costumes for the 24 mem
bers of the cast. Explaining the
reason for so many, Ellis said that
some members are playing three
or tour parts which means several
changes.
Another task, that of building
ctate scenery and properties, has
also been accomplished by the stu
dent crew.
Ellis stated that the stage
scenery for "Faust" was rather
difficult to construct since it could
be neither conventional nor real
istic. Props consist principally of
ramps, step units, platforms and
columns placed at effective posi
tions. All scenery is painted in a
more or less neutral color.
"Most of the brilliance of color
effect will come from the lighting
and arrangement of props. Three
elements, lighting, sound and spe
cial effects will all substantiate
the mood of tragedy," explained
Ellis. "The prime purpose of these
effects is to contribute not so
much to the theme as to the
mood."
Many people believe that ob
taining property is just a matter
of borrowing the desired objects.
"However, for Faust, that def
initely wasn't the case," empha
sized Ellis. Nearly all props that
will be seen on the stage have
been constructed by the student
crew.

Sports Editor.
(Columbia, Mo.) Striking with savage abruptness, the
Missouri Tigers scored two touchdowns in the last quarter
to edge Nebraska, 21-20, in a thrilling game at Missouri's
Memorial Stadium Saturday afternoon.
29,000 partisan fans sat stunned for the first three
quarters as the Cornhuskers un
leashed a surprisingly strong
ground attack to lead the 27-point
favorites, 20-7 at the end of the
third period.
Led by Rocky Mueller and Don
Bloom, the Husker runners out
rushed Missouri, netting 186 yards
to 163 for the Tigers.
Fran Nagle's two touchdown
sneaks and a 48-yard scoring
juant by Mueller were not enough
to offset the potent Tiger air at
tack. Five Mizzou passers, Phil Klein,
John Glorioso, Dick Braznell,
Martin Sauer, and Bob Hendley,
accounted for 100 yards and set
up two of the Tiger touchdowns.
Clark Again
Ron Clark's 20-yard punt run
back, early in the third quarter,
set up the first Nebraska touch
down. Short line plunges by
Bloom and Nagle and a Nagle to
Regier pass carried the ball from
the 30-yard line to the one. On
the next play, Nagle followed Tom
Novak over the goal-line. Rich
Yost converted the extra point.
Novak, playing one his best
games, added an intercepted pass
to his list of achievements and
made the second Husker score
possible.
Waging and winning a personal
battle with Tiger center Bob
Fuchs, Novak grabbed a Klein
pass on the Missouri 19. An off
side nullified Bloom's sprint to
the one-yard line but Mueller re
peated on the next play. Novak
again led Nagle to pay-dirt.
Yost Missed
Yost missed the conversion,
which later proved to be the mar
gin of victory for the Tigers.
Missouri started a touchdown
drive but it was stopped on the
Husker nine. With only a few
seconds left in the first half, Clark
punted from his own six. A Miz
zou offside took the ball to the
