Half of haying
iigei basketball championship
hopes were wrecked at Columbia
last night, by a' Scarlet-clad clan
from Nebraska, the final count
standing 3 to 33 in favor of the
Huskers. liie game was closely
played throughout, with the Ne
braskan holding a silent margin
of advantage most of the time.
"Dutchman" Wltte was the bul
wark or Nebraska offensive
atiingth and waa tic J ill Haitey
Grace for scoring honors, each of
tbe blonde-heads getting 10 tallies
apiece. Wltte sunk five field goals,
while Grace got four from the floor
and made two charity chances
good. Besides furnishing a large
part of the scoring fireworks, Wltte
starred in the defensive depart
ment of the game, and spoiled no
small number of Tiger attempts to
ring baskets.
Lead at Half
The score at the half stood 17 to
15 in favor of Nebraska.'
Waldorf, Missouri forward, led
his cohorts in scoring with twelve
counters. The big boy was going
hot all evening, and was striving to
avert disaster every minute be was
in action.
Coach George Fid wards inserted
Morgan on tbe Missouri lineup late
in the game in hopes that be might
be able to pull tbe fat out of the Are,
but tbe fales decreed otherwise.
Missouri's Inability to locate tbe
basket from tbe free-throw line was
one of the main reasons for their
defoat. Out of 1$ opportunities to
loop tbe leather pellet in charity
shots, tbe lavender shirts made
only five of them good.
Oklahoma's claim to tbe Big Six
title is now undisputed as a result
of last night's fray at Columbia.

NEBRASKA DEBATERS"

Side on Question o?
Jury System
NO DECISION RENDERED
v.Hra.ba nDheld the affirmltive
k'liun I "niversitr in a no-
decision, open forum debate, Mon
day afternoon at 4. o cioca in room
101 of the Law building on mo
quesUon, "Resolved that a substi
tute for the present juit ij-i
should be adopted.
r-k.-i... V. Uilinn nresided at
the meeting and before Introducing
the contestants, pointed oit the Im
portance of the question as "one of
the most vital and absorbing of the
day."
Finkelstsin First Speaker.
The first speaker of the affirmi
tlve was Jacob M. Finkelstein. The
Nebraska man gave a brelf history
of the development of the Jury sys
tem in England, emphasising that
in Magna Chart dayr when the
system was first conceived It "ras
a "small world," with life limited
by a non-specialized age.
"The one fatal objection to the
Jury System today is the Ignorance
that It requires of its personnel."
said Mr. Finkelstein. Sidney Ed
wards, the first speaker for Kansas,
presented a clear and forceful case.
His main point was that there Is
not adeauate demand for tbe
change to another system.
"People look on tbe Jury as a
guardian of tbelr right and the Ju
,uii .-m oAiiltl not stand such
a new adjustment.' He pointed out
that auch notable men as imijuu
Bui ji,tif Tart and others have
admitted that although it la not al
wrys perfect, it Is desirable.
Jury System Inexpedient.
"Tii. inn aratcm as we have it
today is Inexpedient and incompe
tent," was the argument or waiter
Huber, Nebraska, as be attacked
tbe delay and obstruction upon Jus
tin nf tha turv svstem. He quoted
incidents where the delay In impan
eling a Jury allowed the criminal to
go free. "The facts grow stale. In
terest dies, and wltnesse move
sway, all helping tbe guilty man to
go free."
Huber presentea me pian oi

that experts were sunsuuuea icr
non-experts, that the expense of Im

unM4 mn ara mutd. Hi eraument
was supplemented with evidence
that "the typical Jury la made up
of unqualified men who are easily
led astray by technicalities and ora
tory.

MacMillan Gives Talk
Capl. Donald B. MacMillan, the
famous explorer, who spoke in Lin
coln last night. Under the auspices
of the Iiaak Walton league Captain
MacMillan explained "Under the
Northern Lights," at the St. Paul
M. E. church.
Captain MacMillan Explains
Life in Icy Land Near
North Pole
SPEAKER USES SLIDES
r.an nnnaid 5). MacMilan. fam-
oua Arctic explorer, spoke for two
hours last night in St Paul's M. E.
church on his experiences as an
explorer. "Under the Northern
Lights" was captain MacMiuans
topic, which he illustrated with
moving pictures and colored slides.
Dr. E. O. Condra, chairman of
the department of conservation and
survey in the University, intro
duced the explorer to his audience,
which nearly filled the main floor
of St. Paul's church. Doctor Con
dra is a member of some of the
same scientific societies with which
Captain MacMillan is affiliated.
In the course of his lecture the
Arrllc xnlnrer reviewed the trios
that had been made before his time
to the north pole. He told or twenty-five
men who were taken to a
spot 10 degrees from tbe pole.
These men built a hut there and
waited for a ship to come after
them. The vessel was crushed in
ha Im and nf those twenty-five
I men onli six lived to reachthe
rUnlted Slates. "
MacMillan Finds Hut
This same hut. as it was left by
that party of explorers, wa later
entered by Captain MacMillan and
his party. Many books, articles of
clothing, and cases of food re
mained there. A food supply Is still
maintained in that hut, 10 degrees
from tbe north ole.
The explorer and lecturer Intro
duced to his audience tne men wno
go with him on his trips. Each one
was flashed on the screen in a
characteristic poee. The slides and
moving pictures showed the great
scientific station that came a a
realisation of Captain MacMillan'a
dresm. He added that "dreams will
come true if you dream they long
enough and hard enough."
Eskimo families and homes were
illustrated and explained by the
man who had made acquaintances
with these people. The visits they
made to the scientific lodge and
the amasement they showed at the
various scientific wonders that
MacMillan uncovered were flashed
on the screen.
PoliceUnable
To Account For
Traffic Lights
"Police! police! Bee three too

other end or tne wire, v ny r-u i
trfric airnalc down here on P,

manded with asperity, "iney musis

And this wa ail tne umou
obtained from the cumulative ef
f,..i nt rntnr one wronr number
and two others where the voices
each time said to call some other
number. First, it was thought Com
missioner Balr might know about
tbe signals, but he advised calling
tbe street department. This wa
done although anyone should have
known better. The traffic signals
are above the street, oh yes, way
above.
The street department referred
to tbe police as having charge,
though to this minute ft Is not
known why they have charge or
If they do for certain.
' But anyway it's a serious matter,
running without lights on a cloudy
day overhead and a slippery one be
low. It is particularly serious In
tbe aelgbborhotfd of the University
because being educated to a cer
tain degree, professors and stu
dents can see a light a little
further then might be the case oth
erwise.. In the absence of a light
they conclude, by a quick mental
process, that tbe other side of Tat
signal is surely working. Ko sooner
said than done, and sometimes by
two converging drivers. Not many
wrecks occur but many skiddlngs
and gallant steppings on tbe brakes
ensue. The beautiful snow covers
over the tracks of sliding wheels

Professor Questioned About
Influence of Power
Propaganda
Prof. E. E. Brackett of the uni
versity agricultural engineering de
partment stated in his testimony
before the state senate committee
that he is not interested in any
work outside of his department.
In answer to questions by Sena
tor McGowan, chairman of tbe
committee authorized to inquire re
garding any propaganda of power
companies that may have affected
tbe teaching force of the univer
sity, Mr. Brackett said that he is
interested In utilizing service after
it is at the farm and not in the
source from which It is received.
"It makes no difference to me who
furnishes power," said Mr. Brack
ett. "The University is investigating
alone since the national electric
light association has ceased to con
tribute. The work is being ex
tended, but the University stands
the cost," he added.
PROFESSOR DESIGNS

Professor E. E. Lackey, of the de

Arguments
The deferred pledging bill, after

mittee of the whole Thursdsy, wii
kmii hv the same body Monday
at third reading. The rote on pass
ing the bill was 36 for and 4

by frequent bouse calls through
the efforts of Representative Ho via
of Lexington to get all of the mem

The bill Is definitely killed bow.
It was Introduced by Mr. Hovia,
chairman of the committee on edu
cation, and was reported to the
house as a committee measure.
Several members of the committee
were known to have opposed it
Opposition ia Strong
At third reading tbe vote on ad
vancing the bill was 46 for and S6
against. The law requires a major
ity, 51 in the house, for a bill to
pass. However, the opponents of
the measure apparently had done
some effective work In the meaa
tlme and the vote waa strongly
against the measure. Fifteen mem
bers of the house were not In ac
cordance at third reading and fre
quent excursions through tbe eap
itol building by the sergeantt
arms failed to bring in any of the
absent members. Supporters of the
bill charged the absent members
with staying away purposely.
The bill provided expulsion aa
the penalty for any first year stu
dent who should Join a secret or
ganization or be pledged to one
during the freshman year and ap
plied to all higher institutions of
learning supported In part or In
whole by public funds.

for the bill.
Representatives Van Kirk and
Johnson of Lancaster county op
posed the bill because they said
it would confiscate thousands of
rinllar worth of property in the
city of Lincoln belonging to frater
