Sophomores Meet- Tne debating board held its first meeting of the year yesterday after noon in the trophy room, the new mem bers, Dean Pound and Professor French, meeting with the board for the first time. By unanimous vote it was decided to discontinue the annual de bate with Missouri University this year, and to meet instead Washington Uni versity at St. Louis. Of this decision, Secretary Ira Ryner telegraphed Mis souri last night, and the following let ter was sent: Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 14, 1903. Mr. Redmond S. Cole, Sec'y of the De bating League, University of Mis souri, Columbia, Missouri. My Dear Mr. Cole: As a result of the first meeting of our debating board, held today, It was decided to discontinue the regular an nual debate with Missouri this year. We greatly regret that matters were not d'nltely fixed earlier, but in viev of the fact that you say that you have offers for debates from other institu tions, and that we ourselves are In receipt of recent overtures from other universities which facts show that those matters are yet unsettled with other institutions we feel that this action will work no great inconven ience to Missouri. In lehalf of our Board I bog to wish Missouri the largest success in dobate, and hope that friendly relations be tween Missouri and Nebraska may con tinue I remain, most sincerely yours, IRA RYNER. Secretary of the Nebraska Debating Board. Washington University is much larg er than Missouri University, haing an attendance of over 2,200 last year. It Is a wealthy school, heavily endowed, and part of the world's fair buildings go to the University. Among their de partments is a strong law school, and in science they also rank high. They expect to draw the members of their team, as does Nebraska, from all de partments of the University. The head of the English department is A. O. Lovejoy, a friend of Professor Fogg, the two being acquainted at Harvard, which fact may have had something to do with arranging the debate be tween Nebraska and Washington Uni versities. Professor Lovejoy, former Professor of philosophy of Leland Stanford, was one of the three judges which gave Nebraska the unanimous decision over Missouri In 1902. in the street railway debate, In which Craft, North and Meier defeated Missouri. Alter this debate he said.. JThe discus sion of the question was far better than the mayor of St. Louis and a Missouri congressman7 discussed it." Our other debate this year Is with Kansas, which will come off here. Both debates will bo rousing hot The Kan sas debate is the sole connection be tween the two Universities. For Kan sas it is one out of three to win and they will come prepared. They have adopted- a new stylo of debate and will send a team strong and efficient in every respect. As for Washington University, wo may consider ourselves fortunate In securing a debate with this strong Institution where debating holds a high place, and will meet In them a foe worthy of our Bteel. Mr. Ryner has written South Dakota regretting our Inability to accept their courteous Invitation to meet them in debate this year, and that we hope to meet them another year. The change from Missouri to Washington finds popular favor In Nebraska, being In duced, perhaps, by the element of nov tley, after th,e five straight decisive vic tories, four of which were over Mis souri and Kansas.

Elliott, will receive names until Friday, and parts will be assigned to be committed. After the holidays active work will commence and parts will be heard by the committee. Miss Mabel Stephen asks cvery Senior to hand In his two dollars to phL the play on a financial footing. FRESHMEN MEET. The Seniors met yesterday morning in U. 106. E. P. Tyner, business man ager of the Senior Annual, reported that the contract for pictures had been let to the Elite Studio, and requested that all Seniors have their pictures taken before going home for the Christ mas acation. This is Important and all should1 attend to the matter at once in order that work on the Annual may not be unnecessarily delayed. A vote was taken for a class pin, and No. 9 of the list, an original de sign, by a member of the class, won out on the first ballot. The pin will be manufactured by Hallett, the O street Jeweler, where they should be ordered at once. The class also voted to have a yell, and President Elliott was em powered to appoint a committee to pre pare a yell, and instruct the class in its rendition. For this Newton, Bell and Miss Brayton were named. The matter of class orator again came up and since no conclusion has been reached it was agreed to empower a committee to confer with Chancellor Andrews and that the procuring of the speaker be left to their discretion. In regard to the class play Miss Howell was asked to present the mat ter, which she did very ably. She em phasized the fact that it will take some extra time for those who take part, but no one should allow this consider ation tosand in the way of his trying for a place. There will be some honor In representing the class in this phase, but honor should by no means be the first consideration. To presennrTjood play comes first and secondly the amount of good each person derives from the training a play of the stamp furnishes. Two plays have been thought of, ono of which will 1)e selected. Shakespeare's "The Taming of the 8hrew," and Goldsmith's "She Stoops to Conquer." These are both well known plays and when once mastered will be well worth the effort. Miss Howell asked that no one be backward In trying for a place, not even to let modesty stand In the way, Pass Resolutions Commending Football Players.
