Russian Pianist Plays Before a Large Audience
Rachmaninoff Please
Crowd With His
Technique
By John Bondeson, c'anel Students in the University received a rare treat last night in the person of Sergei Rachmaninoff, celebrated Russian pianist. In a program composed largely of selections in minor moods, the composer-conductor-pianoist displayed a virtuosity seldom on this campus, and a warmth and feeling for color that explains the reason for his many years of unparalleled popularity.
The program began with a lightly embellished "Fantasie," by Haydn. The rest of the first group was devoted to a selection, minor in mood, entitled "Melodie," which was written by Gluck-Sumpbati. It was composed predominant mood of the evening. With the exception of three, the selections by Rachmaninoff for his University program were somewhat melancholy and, suggestive of his aspect throughout the entire course, but also in form, of three sonatas by Scarlatti. The first, in D major, is a sprightly, well executed, deft air, suitable for a display of nimble fingers. The second, in E minor, possessed varie tempos, but again in the second part of the series in B major, was a brief display of frills lace, and decoration.
The remainder of the first baltish was devoted to Chopin's Sonate, Op. 58. The first movement, marked alegrie, gave the impression of magnitude, which was later replayed in a more operatic and memorable. The second movement, mastose, was replete with runs, most of the work being executed by the left hand. The large introduced a mood of mournful solemnity, but the finale suggested a remarkable original theme, rhymic and melodic.
Plays Own Manuscript
LAWRENCE, KANSAS TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1937
After the intermission, Rachmann-infount returned to play first his own transcription of Bach's "Prelude," from his violin suite. Here was displayed a bitten bassoon that emphasized the characteristic style of the composer. The next group was devoted to two of his own compositions, "Daisies," and an "Ornamental Sketch." His rather moody composition was illustrated by the curious minor strums.
The first selection in the last group, all of which were by the composer Franz Llist, came as a complete and pleasant surprise to a child. He was also played with deft and gentle color, full of feeling and beauty.
He treated it as a rare bit of bifrag chima. Following, was the Valse Oblieze, No. 3, which was largely in minor key, as was his last selec-tion, and the second seemed to be suggestive of a fantastic gypsy-like motion.
Plays C-Sharn Minor Prelude
The program over, the pianist left the stage, but the audience felt that something was yet lacking. So upon the persuasion of frenzied applause and the piano's instrument and played the beloved Prelude in C-Sharp Minor. He attacked it viciously and firmly, playing it somewhat more slowly than he had before. The pianist was permitted to leave, and nearly four thousand persons

Virginia Taylor happily announced to herGamma Phi sisters that she had received a valentine gift from her boy friend in a distant town, and showed them the large box as proof. When the box was opened it was found to contain all of the old letters of affection written by her girlfriend gift other than an ephemeral letter from the friend telling that he had never loved anyone as much as Virginia, and in the next breath saying that he had a new girl and was going steady. The letter closed with this bit of

Huskers Move Into Tie For Second Place
The Nebraska Cornhuskers downed the Oklahoma Sooners Friday night by a score of 32 to 29, and moved into a tie with the Sooners for second place in the Big Six. The Huskers started from the opening whistle to build up a lead which was not relinquished during the game. Ehough, Parsons, Amen led the Huskers home Connelley. Sooner forward, was high point man of the game with 12 points.
Bill Martin, who has been the chief scorer for the Oklahoma team, was not at his best because of a recent attack of influenza. The team play of the Sooners was slowed down as a result.
In This Corner By Hugh Wire
It is interesting to note the rapidity with which Coach Dana X. Bible has acquired a "southern acorn" from his head coach at Texas University.
In the eight years that Coach Bible resided at Nebraska he strictly opposed subsidizing of athletes as a sin. It was largely through his training there is such a strong feeling in the Big Ski against buying athletes.
Now that Bible has transferred
his affectionate back to his old stumping grounds, he has taken over the job of teaching the Texans the pigskin art, he has found that money talks down there, but it does some loud screaming once in a while. So far he has kept his opinions to himself, except for an occasional "drawling" remark that he is opposed to subsidization.
He cannot bite the hand that feeds him, however, so he has thought out a face-saving plan of his own. We learn in the "Daily Texan" that Bible's plan runs approximately as follows: He wounds himself twice at 80c an hour, and each of their "worst athletes" must work sixy minutes for each half dollar received. The plan sounds very nice, but it still adds up to "you play for us and we'll take care of you." Coach Cushman of the masked individuals these parts if he can still cling to his high ideals, and be coach R Texas at the same time.
With the Golden Gloves tournament just over in Kansas City, the fighter fans should be in just the right mood to see Joe Louis attempt to put Natie Brown among the sweet peas when they meet in Municipal auditorium next Wednesday night for a ten race through an evening of amateur boxing the last week won't even mind the airwaving that these two professionals will probably do.

Coach Veekers has been forced to put in several sophomore replacements due to the illness and injury to his veterans. His Iowa State Cyclones have had tough luck this season, and at present have the toughest season with six players thrown in for good measure in the Big Six standings.
This seems to be a sophomore year in the Big Six basketball race, which is beginning to go 'round and 'round with up-sets. Coach Edwards has juggled his Missouri Tiger line-up so that it now contains four sophomores in the starting positions. The Tigers stand at the front of a promising fashion, but have received three consecutive set-backs.
Frank Groves increased his conference game average last Thursday, by scoring 16 points against Kansas. The Kansas State push-shot artist has a chance to surpass the record set by Ray Ehling last season if he continues his high scoring space. He is also playing games to play this season so he has a chance to make or ruin a good record.

fighters have put in their appearances at Kansas City, because of the scarcity of sparring partners in this vicinity. The fight should be a good warm-up for players like Bob Pastor's running tactics, Joe Louis will soon be able to give Jesse Owens a run for his money.
