IN 101 DEBATE
Telegram to Professor Fogg De
clares Cornhuskers "Swept
Iowa Off Her Feet"
"Our system swept Iowa off her
feet. Chairman admitted Nebraska
won."
This telegram was received by
Prof. M. M. Fogg Saturday from the
Cornhusker team that opposed Iowa
at Jowa City Friday evening, arguing
against the proposition that the
United States cancel the allied debt
Fred C. Campbell, Law '23, Lincoln;
Bernard Gradwohl, '23, Law '24; Lin
coln; and Sheldon Tefft, '22, Law '24,
Weeping Water, who arrived Satur
day morning ahead of his colleagues.
The chairman, a University of Iowa
Professor, a friend of Prof. P. W. Ivey
of Nebraska, totd . Mr. Tefft that if
lcre had been a formal decision Ne
braska would have won. An audience
of about 1000 attended tho debate.
In opening Nebraska"!) case, Mr.
Campbell, according to report by Mr.
Tcft, ripped up the case of the first
speakc.1 on Iowr.'r. team, usin;; his
own charts to refute his arguments,
maintaining that cancellation is not
necessary for the recovery cf Europe,
because", first, recovery depends up
on immediate aid, not aid some time
in tho future; and, second, that can
collation would not aid Europe imme
diatelynet directly, because it would
not restore credit or balance budgets,
nor indirectly, because it would not
restore confidence.
Sailing into Iowa's second speaker,
Mr. Gradwohl won applause for his
keen attack. Ho arrayed facts and
a ftack cf txpert testimony to show
that Europe will bo able to pay, be
cause it is getting on its feet;""r.nd
tho continent is beginning to balance
its budgets, which it has bum failing
to do becauso of unsound practices
it ha3 clung to large armies, trade
barriers, mismanagement as to Us ap
propriations, and insufficient taxa
tion. IIlc taxation case surprised
Iowa, who failed to da anything witn
tho point.
- In closing tho caso for Nebraska,
Mr. Tefft argued that cancellation J3
contrary to tho interests of tho United
States, because, first, it would put
tho burden of paying the debt upon
tho American taxpayor; second, it
would not sccuro the good will of Eu
rope, which will think wo cancelled
ouly after wo found wo couldn't col
lect; third, payment would not ruin
American industry America would
not be flooded with European goods.
Tho Ic-wirns were caught unprepared
to do my thing (they failed to touch
it) with his international trade
theory.
In tho opinion of members of th
economics department and former
University debaters. In mastery ol
tho Question, uso cf evidence, struc
ture, presentation and rebuttal, the
Xobraska affirmative team against
South Dakota on Thursday evening
clearly excelled.

SQUAD
Arrived Saturday From Two
Weeks Trip Three Games
Called Because of Rain
The Cornhusker diamond artists
with Coach Owen Frank In charge ar
rived in Lincoln Saturday at 7:30 a.
m. from a two weeks' spring training
trip. Rain badly interrupted plans and
games were called off three times. The
Huskers came out of the fray with
two Oklahoma games to their credit
and they met defeat in two clashes,
one from the Sooners and the other
from Missouri Valley College.
Fifteen Huskers Make the Trip
The first games with the Sooners
were postponed and a double header
played on the following day. The Ne-
braskans copped the first two but
lacked the endurance to hold out for
a th'iixl victory.
The clash against Missouri Valley
College was put off a day and Huskers
emerged from a hard fought nine in
ning battle with the small end of a 1
to 11 rr-re.
The games wltd the Missouri Uni
versity -h' Columbia were prevented by
r;in. Heavy rainfall there the first
of th':- week left their diamond, which
Is n tow ground, a regu-a. lake. The
Nebraska aggregation waihvi twi days
at Columbia in hopes of weather con
ditions that would bo more condusive
for baseball and as it remained un
favorable the Huskers returned. Ne
gotiations will bo made for playing
Missouri at a later date.
ALPHA ZETA HOLDS

TTonnrArv Act Fraternity and
Friends. Hold Big Banquet
at Ag Cafeteria
Tho members of Alpha Zeta, hon
orary Agricultural Fraternity of the
Agricultural College, and their friend
enjoyed a banquet Thursday evening
in tho Ag Cafateria. Ono hundred
thirty plates wore served in cafateria
style. The Ag Orchestra made its de-
i,f nt Hie h.tnmiet furnishing the
UUb " w ' " m
music before and after the oth
entertainment. Paul Taggart in charge
of tho program introduced the Misses
Croft. Belknap and Lewis of the Uni
vcrsity School of Music who favored
tho audience with piano solos, vocal
solos and violin accompaniment.
Tho principal speaker of tho even
ing was Prof. Bengston of the Geo
graphy Department who gave an in
teresting and instructive illustrated
lecture about agricultural conditions
in Central America. After prelimin
ary remarks concerning tho provin
cial inclinations of the Nebraska pee
pie, Professor Bengston brought out
the fact that in three days travel by
boat from New Orleans, more differen
ces in life habits and customs of peo
ples can bo seen than in an entire
tour of Europe.
Agriculture there is in tho earliest
primitive stages, the work being done
by hand or with wooden plows accord
ing to tho findings of Professor Bcngs
nn on his threo months tour. "To
livo" is the'only aim in life of these
natives. They plant their corn in
hidden places for tho same reasons
that watermelon patches aren't along
tho highways in Nebraska. Ccrn is
the staff of life. Cattle aro raised
for their hides, the ticks being too
numerous and the marketing facilities
too primitivo for beef praduc.on.
Somo areas In the interior or cen
tral America are de3erts whero clouds
appear but it never rains. Just across
a mountain rango may be an area
whero the annual rainfall may ba as
much as 200 inches. Here vegetation
Is luxuriant end bananas are tho only
crop. Banana three times a day or
oftencr is their bilof fare.
In some parts of this territory Am
erican financiers have developed ba
nana plantations that are worked with
modern methods. The growing and
marketing of this comparatively new
cron is one o fthe most scientific and
accurate practices of Agriculture as
shown by Professor Bengston with

Plan to Erect First Unit of $300,

Within a Year.
NEW GRIDIRON READY
FOR 1923 HOMECOMING?
New Stadium Will Have a Seat
ing Capacity of 25,000 Per
sons When Finished v
A University of Nebraska stadium
now looms up as an actual possibility.
Formal action by the university alum
ni in taking over the work of the Me
morial gymnasium committee, Friday
afternoon, has materially raised the
raised the hopes for a new athletic
structure and the plans now point to
a new stadium to be in use at least
by the 1922 football homecoming day
game. A campaign to raise tho de
ficit for the completion of the $300,000
fuud for the starium is to be conduct
ed by the alumni office within a short
time and work will probably start on
tho new structure some time this
spring or summer.
Erection of the new stadium is to
bo completed in sections. It is be
lieved that tho income derived as a
result of the increased seating capac
ity will do much to help pay the ex
penses of the remaining sections end
that it will not be long before Nebras
ka has a stadium with reinforced con
crete stands lising to the height of
thirty-five or forty tiers, and capable
of seating 25,003 people.
More than $15,000 in cash is now on
hand and available for the stadium.
More than ?120,COO in pledges i3 also
held, at least two-thirds of which are
certain of being fulfilled. With this
money on hand i".ul with the added
funds which it Is believed possible to
raise among tho students, the alumni
and tho general public, work on the
first part of the stadium scorns almost
certain to start within the year and
to be ready for uso by the football
season of 1023.
Build cn Present Field
Tl;o stadium i3 to be built cn the
present Nebraska field. The south
end will be where the present bleacli
cr3 arc while tho north end is to run
one block north of the prevent north
bleachers. Tho playing field will run
north r.nd south rather than east, and
west as the present gridiron ooe3.
Shaped like an oval, the stadlun will
be a magnlflcant structural addition
to tlic present campus. The open nd
of tho oval will be at the south as la
the present foDtball field.
The memorial committee has dono
much work in planning for tho new
gymnasium. Tho shift from the gym
nasium has been made a3 a result of
the withdrawal of the quarter million
dollar rpprcrriation made by the siatc
three years ago. It is practically im
possible to raise funds for a million
dollar building from private sources
at this" time and erection of the sta
dium is much the best plan which can
bo followed.
As each new unit is added to th'J
stadium, it will bring in money and
materially assist-tlic financial side of
the question. Earnings from each
football season have be-Jn materially
hampered by the limited number of
seats now in Nebraska field. It has
rever Vcr-n found -possible to crowd
more than 8,009 or 0,000 people into
Nebraska field for a game although it
would be comparatively easy to sell
twice that many tickets. With seats
for 25,000 people, earnings cf the team
will bo greatly increased at the home
games. Necessity for securing this
rovenuo makes starting on tho new
athletic plant imperative.
Costs of stadium seats are said to
range from three to teu or fifteen dol
lars a piece but this can bo lowered
on the Nebraska field by grading down
tho playing level and laying some ot
tho scats on earthen foundation. Pre
liminary plans call for a roinforced
concrete stand of the most approved
construction.
