Kumas thon made thirty six yards in ton downs, when tho ball was passed around to tho right to Shoppard, who ixado a splendid run of seventeen yards. After two nioro downs Nebraska got tho ball and regained forty yards of lost ground. ' A. E. Yont thon made a splendid run of twonty-tivo yards which brought tho U. of N. very close to goal when tho ball was turned over to Kansas on a fumble. Kansas only succeeded in advancing nine yards when Nebraska again recovered tho ball. Flippin and Yont by turns brought the ball within six yards of goal and would have carried tho ball over in tho next down had not time been called. Here ended the h'rst lesson. Kansas G, Nebraska 0. In tho second half Nebraska had the ball and made six yards on tho checkerboard plaj'. Her half backs between them made ton yards to which five more were added by an off side play by Kansas.

DRAMATIC NOTES It is u considerable stop from lav; to tho stage, and Mr. Walker Whitesides does not yet seem to huvo accustomed himself to tho change. Tho Richelieu who stalkod about tho stage of tho Lansing thoatro last week was not the Richelieu of history or of art. Young Mr. Whitesides seems to have drama tic ability, but ho is dovoloping it in tho wrong way. Ho pitches the koy of his work too low and the key of voice too high. Ho has tho one great fault of western actors, ho rants. Ho lacks tho delicate taste and dis crimination to know where oxcessivo emotion becomes grotesque. Ho is a Keene without Keono's lungs to shout or his wonderful ability to rant. Of Mr. Whiteside's leading lady little need be said, and that little is said in all charity and sympathy. Sho has missed her calling. Her faint we will try to forget, let us remember her as wo last saw her in health. - Richelieu is a poor play, yet it can be endured; Mr. Whitesides is a poor actor, yet ho can bo borne; but Richilieu and Whitesides together ! A great play is a great experience. To have seen Clara Morris in Camillo is an ex perience not to bo regarded lightly or soon forgotten. Perfect art does not come to us so often thai wo can go over it lightly, and when it comes to us in the form of Clara Morris it takes us several w.eeks to ge over it at all. We look upon her advent as tho approach of tears and sorrow, and yet wo spend days in looking forward to those two hours and a half of solid agony, knowing that we get more pain for the money than at any other period of our natural life. It would be a neat and appropriate idea for Messrs. Church and Oliver to distribute souvenir handkerchiefs whenever Clara Morris plays. To criticise Clara Morris as Camillo is im possible, sho h Camille. If one has any criticising to do, thoy must do it on the character or the drama itself. That Clara Morris can play that play night after night and suffer as she suffers is tho standing St-to. i. h tJmmmJEsmsiusu: t gjg.fckarag. &n' J-mULjA, U- gfflWWSff lKI illi II WJ
