The Daily i- i INTER -STATE DEBATES Arrangements for the Three Bat tles Almost Completed Preparations for the Preliminaries. While tho debating board la not yet able to announce what sides Nebraska will have In all three annual Interstate debates (with Colorado. Kansas and Missouri1!, It will make such announce ments In two or three days. This In formation It could have given out be fore this, had It not been for what Is an unavoidable delay at one Institu tion, due to vacation, and an unexpect1 ed request from another Institution for a six-weeks' extension In which its de baters may make up their mind whjuh Bide they want to support of tho propo sition submitted by Nebraska three weeks ago. Tho Nebraska debating board has refused to grant tho request which 1b quite contrary to all precedent in this method of determining ques tion and Bides. Work In preparation for the prelim inary debates is getting under ,-way a trifle later than last year. With this week, however, that preparation will begin In earnest, and also for the ln terclass debates and class champion ship debate which are to bo new fea tures of university life this year. The date of the preliminary debates to choose fhe representatives on tho Interstate contests has not been ilocid ed. They will, however, undoubtedly come about tho first of February, and thBy will consume two evenings. With Secretary W. F. Meier all can didates for appointment to Interstate honors should register without delay. Tho registration will close at a not far .Ufltant date, which will be announced I in a few days. The Interstate questions this year are particularly timely They are the questions upon which public attention just now Is centered and will be prob ably for the next few years On the rnmmilsorv arbitration proposition which Nebraska and- Kansas are ,. nf T.nwronce sides will be to as- Blgned this weok by lot by some dls Interested college president Shedd Benefit frlday On Friday ovonlng, January 9th, the'. Shedd benefit musical and vaudeville entertainment will be given In Me morial hall. The object of the enter tainment, as everyone knows, Ib a very worthy one. Although the athletic board up to this time has taken care of Mr. Shedd's expenses, yet on account of his protracted illness It was thought best to try to relieve the board and at the same time help out Mr. Shedd by I some such scheme as the benefit whicn will be held Friday night. Those in charge of th entertainment have put forth a great amount of ef fort and the affair pjomises to be a success In every way Among those who will take part an- Dr. Mayhew, organ; Coats and Hagenbuck, acro- batlc work; University Glee Club; Mr. O'Shea, sleight of hand; Mr. Cornell, lantern slides; Georgo JohnBon, tenor; MIbb Durrus, soprano, and Robert Cus caden of Omaha, violin. Mr. Cuscaden has just returned from Germany after four yearB of study under the best Ger man Instructors. Tho entertainment will begin at 8:15 sharp. Tickets are on sale with Messrs. Hess, Tobln, Bender, Bell, Fisher, Mc Nown, Van Burg, Moloney, Ringer, Ross, Hewitt and many others. They may be purchased at the book stores and at the Registrar's office. Admis sion, 50 cents. Nebraska Basket Ball The basket-ball team started the sea son right by winning from the city Y. M. C. A. the Thursday before vaca tion. For the last two years there has beon considerable ill feeling between tho university and the Y. M. C. A. on account of disputed points, but the management has now succeeded in smoothing the trouble over. It is to bo hoped that tho students will not discontinue to manifest tho spirit that was so commendable during the football season, but will get out and lend their heaYty support to the basket-ball team. Class Debates Postponed The Joint committee on debate com posed of tho four class presidents and Secretary Meier of the debating board, met in the Y. M. C. A. parlors Friday, December 19. It was decided to post pone tho class debates until after the first preliminaries for selecting the In terstate squad. Tho Senior-Junior de bate will probably take place about a week after the preliminaries. The date of the Freshman-Sophomore con test is not yet known. As first arranged the upper classmen were to havo debated about two weekB ago and the lower classmen two weeks after the holidays. This would have brought both class debates before the preliminaries and the- season tickets were printed so as to havo them come In this order. But the questions for the class de bates wero to be phases of the Inter state questions, which were not defi nitely decided upon until Just before the holidays. Besides, the Freshmon are to have a class preliminary to se lect their men. Thus the class debat ers would have had but a short time to prepare in tno norary. Aimougn 11 will necessitate some inconvenience on account of tho tickets not coming In their proper order, It was thought best to take the above action. New Pump Ontflt A new duplex pump outfit has been ordered for the mechanical engineering leboratory, and will arrive in a fow days. The same kind of apparatus was ordered last year, but while being shipped, it waB wrecked. It is a very much needed piece of machinery, and will supply a long felt need in the de partment. Tho now Bteel lockers .have been completed In the forge and wood shops. There are over 200, equipped with the bout metallic tacks. f PROBABLY A GOOD TEAM Indications Point to a Strong Back Team for the Spring Season Some New JVlen In Sight. With Dr. Clapp at the head of the Physical Training department and plenty of good material on hand the outlook for a successful season In track work Is very favorable. The university has beon represented In the past by good track teams, but because of the lack of meets or the lack of support the seasons have not been so successful as thoy should have been. Last year's team was one of the best west of Chicago and somo very creditable records wore made. It was unfortunate that Buch a team did not meet the teamB of other universities. The state meet was won with ease not withstanding the efforts of the strong Doane college team. Difficulties in the way of arrangements with neighboring states prevented several meets. This year work was begun at an early date and matters are being pushed more than ever before. Man ager Walton has been corresponding with several managers and the track men will undoubtedly have ample op portunity during the coming season to show their prowess. Last season a two-year contract was entered Into with Kansas. The first meet was to have been held at Lincoln last year and tho second at Iawrence, this year. Kansas cancelled the meet last year, but she will stand by the secQnd part of the contract. From present Indications It is very probable that a dual meet with the University of South Dakota will be held at Sioux Cuy. Other schools, in cluding Drake, Grinnell, Missouri and Minnesota, have been corresponded with. The annual state meet will be held at Crete. There are several members of lasU year's team in school, as wall as many promising "new men." Among the former are States, Hewitt, Lehmer, Corr, Burg and Tobln. States is a long distance man and holds the university record for the half mile. Hewitt, cap tain of the basket-ball team, has beon a member or me iracK ieum iui bc eral years. His events are the broad Jump and middle dlBtance runs. Leh mer was formerly a member of tho OmnliR hlirh school track team and football team, and Is a long distance man. Corr's are the "half mile and mile. Burg showed up well last year in the short runs. Tobln will take part in. the weight events. Hagenslck, who holds the university record for the 220-yard hurdles, ifl not In school at present, but he may take work next semester. Martin, a weight man of last year's team, is also out of school, but he intends to come back T next semester. "Bill" Johnson was a member of the 1901 team, but he did not get out last season. He will prob- ) ably ,enter the lists this year and tako part In his favorite event, the polo vault. In addition to these "old men" the university Is very fortunate In having many mon who havo done good work on other teams, especially on tho Lin coln high Bchool track team. Bene dict, Nebraska's quarter-back, is a track man of several year's experionco and will bo a very valuable acquisition. He is an "all around" man, taking part In the high jump, polo vault and half mile run. Ed. Manning, who did such creditable work while In tho Lincoln high school, will be a hard man to beat In his eventB. He won out handily last year at the Missouri Valloy moot against strong opponents. Follmor, a member of the football team, has a record of 51 seconds for tho 440-yard run. Brown, formerly captain of the Rochester university team, Is taking work hero and is a good man for tho runB from the 440-yard up. Among tho other new men are Orlando Bcntley, Harry Reed, Ray Edmonds and Wil liam Sizor. If all of these mon, and tho many others who are capable of doing good work, will train Nebraska should have an excellent track team. But train ing is necessary and success in ath letics, as In other things, comes only after systematic effort. In order to facilitate matters Dr. Clapp desires all those who Intend to take part to hand In their names and the events In which they expect to compete. Work will begin In earnest next semester. Special Class In Latin ' Professor, Barber reports enthusiast cally of his class in Snetonlus, which is composed of upper classmen and post graduates and onjoys the unusually, large membership of twenty-four, The class Is composed of students who have shown special merit In the preceding Latin courses and in whom the results of careful and efficient college training are apparent to a high degree Tho na ture of ,the subject Itself Is -one that Invites close and comprehensive Btudy, partly through tho interest centered In the lives of the two greatest Caesars, and partly through th8 graphic and flowing style of the author. In con nection with the regular class work, papers are prepared on tho life and constitution of the Roman people, which, which requiring diligent re search give advantageous training and an Insight into Roman history that su perficial observations would fall to ef fect. Tho harmony existing between Instructor and pupils makes" tho class work especially interesting as well aB lnstrnctlve, and encourages earnest ef fort on the part of both to develop the posibllltie8 of the subject to thoir fullest extent. Geneve Erisman, '02, of Clarks high school was at the university during the holidays. ' The American Dlaletc society has made Dr. Louise Pound one of its dis trict secretaries.
