Some ol those names are well known now, too, but the memories of Nebraska still linger with them so vividly that they never forget to order a copy of the Cornhusker yearbook. The H22 Everybody's annual will penotrnle the heart of India, it will go to the famous Island of Japan, i. will venture Into the "Powder River" country, it will make the rounds on Lonk Island, it will pay a visit to sunny , California, it will invade the Cascade runge and will even make its presence known in southern France. Former Cornhuskers are now scat tered, but their minds are still con tered nrouug the college nucleus that they knew so many years ago.

Kn!reiiched wltii hooks, pamphlets, figures and statistics and alivo to every apparent issue of the question, tin; Nebraska and South Dakota de aling teams vied with each other r foicnsic supremacy in tho Temple theater Thursday night with the ques tion, "Resolved: that the United Stales Should Cancel the Allied Debts." Nebraska upheld the affirm ative of tiie question and no decision was rendered as has been the cus tom in the debates of the past year. Chief Justice A. M. Morrissey of the Nebraska Supreme Court presid- : over the meeting in the place of Governor McKelvie who was unavoid ably detained in Omaha due to illness of a brother. Chief Justice Morrissey briefly explained the question of the debate and introduced the speakers. He was presented to the audience by Piofessor M. M. Fogg, coach of the Nebrsaka team. The. cases of botli teams were well , developed and a heated discussion marked the conflict of points. The question was de-alt with from every angle and the honors were very close. Nebraska carried t'.irough a very well developed line cf argument and each speaker was forceful in his defense of the question. A number of clev erly worked out points of the negative were sprung in the rebuttal which fol lowed the direct argument and the cases were strong on both sides. Ne braska seemed to have the edge in the presentation. This debate, the second half of which was carried on by the Nebras ka negative team in Iowa at the same time as the South Dakota-Nebraska argument, is the thirty-second debate since 1902. The first thirty of these debates carried decisions and Nebras ka carried twenty one of tho thirty decisions. Since the War Nebraska has participated in six no-decision de bates. This is the first appearance of the Nebraska debating team this season and the affirmative team is made up entirely of men who have not handled the case for Nebraska in previous years.
