Kansas is laying herself out as never before to beat Nebraska In debate this year. The- Jayhawker faculty, backed by Chancellor Strong, has adopted a now system of training the team, and the dobatlng council has adopted a new plan of selecting the team a plan which will, it Is thought, secure for the University tho very ablest men the men who know most about tho sub ject and who aro tho best arguers on their legs that tho Kansas State Uni versity can turn out. Instead of pick ing tho team at once, the council cboso a half dozen men. They have been studying tho subject debating on it twice a week for two months. This week tho team that meets Nebraska is chosen. On the new methods, which are somewhat like Nebraska's, the K. U. Weekly of last week jubilates as fol lows: "The success of tho new plan of choosing debaters has surprise its most ardent supporters. Noxt week the men who will finally represent the University will bo chosen in a public contest. Whoever is chosen from the debating squad to make up tho teams confidence is expressed on all sides that they will know their respective questions better than any teams over before sent out by Kansas. The de bating squad has mow given nearly two months to the study of the questions. They have met at least twice a week for oral debate, considerable rivalry between men and Sides having resulted, all of which has tended to bring out the strong and weak points of the ques tion at issue."
