Tonight 'in Memorial hull the Kan sas and Nebraska wains will meet to s-ettle the question of supremacy, in what promises to be the most haid fought contest ever occurring here Qui champions hae been drilled on the question for weeks, while the Kansans hae been no less assiduous in their preparation, and the contest will mark the meeting of two heavy forces, the strongest of which will predominate. The debate may best be characterized as a brief display of concentrated ef fort that has been long in being worked up. The issue will be sharply fought from start to finish and we hope that the outcome will be Nebraska's occa sion to rejoice.
