HIGH SCHOOL DEBATERS MET
Make a Selection of the Question for
the Ninth Annaul League
Debate
The Nebraska High School Debating
League, at the annual meeting held in
Omaha last week, voted to submit to
the members of the league the propo
sition of changing the question for
ninth annual league debates from
"Resolved, That the Interests of Civ
ilization Demand Disarmament Rather
than Armanment," to the question,
of whether or not the recommenda
tions of the secretary of war and the
secretary of the navy as to increase in
armament should be adopted.
Professor Popes' Announcement
That woe begone look that now
decorates the countenances of the
erstwhile happy laws is not due to
the fear that Kansas will beat the
Cornhuskers as might be supposed,
but is the natural consequence of Pro
fessor Pope's announcement that the
property mid-semester will -be held
tomorrow.
The Kosmet Klub announces the
pledging of Harvey F. Nelson, '16, of
Omaha.

HUSKERS HAVE A
HARDJGRIMMAGE
VARSITY AND FRESHMEN CLASH
ON A MUDDY FIELD
JAYHAWKER HOPES RUN HIGH
Cornhuskers Will Have the Hardest
Battle of the Season Next Sat-
urday, Is Predicted No
Chance to Sluff
Coach Stiehm is giving the Huskers
the hardest workout of the season in
preparing to meet the ambitious Jay
hawkers at Lawrence next Saturday.
Yesterday afternoon the Varsity and
Freshmen were put through a tough
scrimmage practice, which lasted for
an hour and a half, after which the
Varsity and scrub3 clashed till dark.
With a mammoth crowd expected to
witness the annual contest between
the Jayhawkers and the Huskers next
Saturday, the former, are leaving no
stone unturned which will help them
to make this great homecoming game
a victorious one.
Although the field was wet, the
Huskers were not allowed to let up
in their scrimmage practice, but were
driven all the harder by Stiehm and
his assistants. The Freshmen show
ed up well against the Varsity men,
although they were unable to make
any touchdowns.
The Jayhawk is out for blood this
time and he will be no easy prey to
the' Huskers, like he was last year.
Any Cornhusker who expects to enter
the game and run away with the score
has something yet to learn about the
aggregation Kansas has In store for
them. Kansas Is very enthusiastic
over her prospects and expects to
show the Huskers one of the hardest
fights of her life.
