Interest in the annual this year and

to Professor M. M Fogg of the debat
ing department.
The book is Introduced by "Just a
Word." as follows:
"This Is our boon We give it with
no boast. It Is for those feeling the
bonds that grow with four years of
college life; and yet for those who
know not such ties, with the trust that
they may learn one of life's sweetest
joys He that sees good In naught
sae the prosaic may perhaps find here
the thread that will guide him to one
side of the world's great touchstone.
He that finds pleasure only inithe light
some fancies of idler momentB will pos
slbl find here that earnest thought
and working hand ghe the best of
life's finest happiness. That this might
be the best of all has been our prayer,
yet we so loe the human traits, that
not once came the thought to give a
faultless book."

Only Waiting for Missouri and the
Big Contest.
For the annual Missouri-Nebraska
contest of brain, which takes place In
Memorial hall Friday evening at 8
o'clock, accompanied oy an addresB by
William J. Bryan and a concert by
the University cadet band, the Ne
braska team Is doing its final investiga
tion and pounding its masB of material
Into finished shape. While still Irri
tated a bit by the monstrous size of
the question whether or not trusts are
Inimical to the public welfare, the
team solaces Itself with the thought
that the Mlssourlans have to deal with
the Bame question, than which there
is no more pressing, up-to-date one
before the public.
The order of Nebraska's speakers,
decided upon several weeks ago, will
be as follows: Fred M. Hunter will
open, Nell ivi. Cronln will reply to Mis
souri's first man, and Ira Kyncr will
wind up Nebraska's direct argument.
The final refutation for Nebraska will
be done by Mr. Cronln, who did the
final rebuttal against Colorado last
year, smashing their big chart and
otherwise debating the Rocky Moun
talnites off the platform
That Friday night's contest will give
Nebraska students1 and Lincoln folks
the liveliest and most hotly contested
debate In years, the authorities hero
agree in affirming. Drubbed thorough
ly last year, Missouri has this year
prepared herself with altogether un
usual care to break Nebraska's string
of victories. Missouri has defeated Ne
braska four out of five times. I-ast
year Nebraska's new methods gave her
a surprise; this year she is ,rying to
catch up with and pass Nebraska.
The Missouri team will arrive to
morrow for a day's rest before the de
bate. It Is the prize team of the uni
versity. M. T. Nardin, who helped
whip Nebraska here two years ago, is
coming back to duplicate his perform
ance. He Is a member of the American
Economic association. The leader of
the team is, however. Nelson, a junior,
who Is said to be a very able thinker
and an agile debater. The third man
Is Donnell, who ran into Nebraska's
Craft-Meier-North combination last
May and owned his utter defeat. Fur
thermore, although Nebraska has the
affirmative, the popular side of the
question, Missouri has, it Is recog
nized, advantages other than those
which ordinarily fall to the negative.
If Missouri knows her case thoroughly,
she can, everybody connected with the
debates concedes, give Nebraska a very
rough, up-hill row to hoe.

NEXT SATURDAY.
Home Field Meet Promises to be
Exciting.
What promises to bo the most suc
cessful field day ever hold at this uni
versity will be pulled off next Satur
day, when the public will be given tho
opportunity to see what the forty men
who have been training for tho past
two months can do. More men are
training for the track team this year
than In any previous season, and many
of the old men are In school. A num
ber of very strong ex-high school men
help to (111 the ranks.
In addition to these favorable con
ditions, Nebraska has four meets with
other Institutions ahead of her Com
petition for places Is therefore very
close. Tho men realize that to make
a good showing next Saturday means
a great deal and they are working hard.
The management Is doing all In Its
power to make field day a success In
every way. The track will be cut
down today and put In excellent con
dition for Saturday's events.
The following fourteen regular track
and field events avIU be given: 100 yard
dash, 220 yard dash, 440 yard dash,
half mile, one mile, two mile, shot put,
hammer throw, discus throw, pole
vault, high Jump, broad jump. 120
yard hurdles and 220 yard hurdles.
One of the features of the day will be
a one mile lnllerclaBS relay race. It Is
thought that such an event will be of
great Interest to the classes and will
be very desirable from the spectators'
point of view. Relay races, when held
hero, have always caused more excite
ment than the other events and an
Interclass relay race will be especially
Interesting. If you fall to attend this
meet you will certainly miss a rare
athletic treat.
In order to defray the Incidental ex
penses connected with the meet the
nominal sum of 15 cents will be
charged.
Athletic Board Election.
The attention of students desiring to
enter the contest for places on the ath
letic board .8 called to the following
provision of tho cons..tution:
"Section 1. Nominations. Any Uni
versity student In good standing may
become a candidate, on petition signed
by twenty students filed with the sec
retary of the board before May 8, to-,
gether with a statement in writing

be a candidate and expects to be" in
the University during the coming year.

in the gymnasium and University hall
for five days and In" lack of protest
