On the biggest question before the American people today, the after-the-war attitude of the LTnited States toward world affairs as affected by the proposed League of Nations, the Nebraska student can get two hours of sifted and packed information this evening at the Nebraska-Iowa debate In the Temple Theater. It will not be campaign "oratory"; it will be debating the arraying of expert wit nesses to establish facts; drawing conclusions from facts; and present ing conclusions with what clarity and vigor the picked representatives of these two state universities are cap able of. In two respects the debates this year are different from those of pre ceding years. They are to be more informal and an open forum discus sion is to folio wthem. From the audience questions will be asked which Governor McKelvie, the pre siding officer, will refer to the teams for reply. This new feature is ex pected to add both to the general in terest and to the educational value of the event.

LATEST VICTIM The Cornhusker ball team has hit its stride during the past week's prac tice and has been burning the earth on the M Btreet lot. This afternoon Captain John Pickett is slated to lead his warriors to victory and bring the bacon home to the Husker camp. Coach Schissler's outfit has been showing up exceptionally well in the past few practices and the team which Schissler will send against the Haskell Indians this afternoon has been working together as smooth as a machine. With the official opening of the baseball season starting this after noon, the Nebraska team's outlook for success is very bright and the team should sail, along smoothly and down the best clubs in this part of the country during the remainder of the season. Some new prospects have been showing up for practice of late and they promise to strengthen the Huskers materially. M. Smith looks good to Coach Schissler and during the last practice game with the yearlings, he worked three innings in which he struck out seven out of the nine men to face him and let the first, year men down with a 6 to 0 defeat. In this game the Varsity dis played a stellar brand of ball which any collegiate team in the country could not surpass. Smith is also a catcher of no mean ability and Coach Schissler has him billed to receive Captain John ickett's twisters in this afternoon's performance. Shellenberg is another new ball tosser out and has shown up good in practice and will more than likely be used in one of the two games with the Indians.
