No Action In Tnkrn by NchrnMkli Vol. -Orntorlcul I.ciiriic AriiIm. The usual flood of challenges has be gun to come In to the debating board, from various prominent weBtern col leges who desire to debate with Ne braska this year. The latest one is from tho University of Denver, and was received last eening. No action has been taken on it yet by the de bating board, but circumstances are buch that It does not seem possible that the Denverites can be accomodated this year. Last year three or four de bates had to be refused by Nebraska, tuid it seems that this is to be the case again this year. Denver, is, how ever, very anxious to arrange a de bate on account of the splendid repu tation Nebraska has attained in the past few seasons. Arrangements are being completed by the debating board for tho inter state debates this year. Definite an nouncements will bo made concerning them in the near future. The Oratorical league of state uni ersities, which was organized last year, and which Nebraska refused to join, has once more invited us to en ter. While it is not probable that the invitation can bo accepted, owing to the .fact that no strictly oratorical workis-carried on in tho university, et the work which the league did last year, and tho Interest which Its re peated invitations to Nebraska has aroused, "will make the last bid a sub ject of much comment. The following aro the rules govern ing tho league this year: I. Morob&rqhlp: Participation In the contests Y:6nductec by this associa tion shall bo limited to under-gTaduate students of state universities. II. Duea: Tho annual dues of each university shall be three dollars; and no institution shall be regarded as a member of tho association until its dues shall havo boon paid to tho chair man of tho central executive commit tee and a certificate of membership issued. Tho money so received shall be used by the committee to dofray the necessary exponscs of the national or ganioztion. III. Preliminary Contests, (a) Divi sion Into geographical sections: In making diviaions for preliminary con tests dlstanco shall be taken into considerationX and no geographical division shall he formed for the pur pose of preliminary contest without first having tho approval of the cen tral executive committee, (b). Time of contest: Local contests may be held at any time prior to tho section con tests, but section contost should be hold not Jnter than one month before the final contest, (o).

W Manager Beers, of the basket ball loam, has received a request for a game at Wesleyan university on De cember 3. The game which was to havo been played with the city Y. M. C. A. last week was called off on account of the incomplctdo condition of tho Y. M. C. A. gymnasium. The game at Wesleyan, if played, will bo tho occa sion of a grand athletic opening at the Methodist school. Highland Park also wants a game in I incoln in the near future. They de- biro to hold a dual meet, one game to be played between the men's teams and one between the girls'. For various reasonB, however, thla arrangement Is not satisfactory to the management of tho Nebraska girl's team, and It Is doubtful whether either game will be played. Manager Beers has written to sev eral western teams in Wyoming and Colorado, on a route similar to that taken by the team on its trip two years ago, asking for games in the near fu ture. No replies have been received as yet. Another trip to tho north and northwest has also been projected, but nothing definite has been heard irom it either. A recent number of tho Daily Iowan, of the university of Iowa, contained tho stateraont, that nn offoH would be made to arrange a basket ball game between the Hawk- eyes and the Cornhuskers, but nothing in that connection has been received diroctly from tho managoment of the low.0, team. It is reported that the Yalo university team will make an extended western trip this year', and the famous Sioux City Y M. 0. A. has been asked for a game. It is not known whether tho Ells will cross tne Mibsouri or not. In any case, nothing has been heard from them here. WILL FORM TODAY. New Battalion at State Farm to be Organized. This afternoon the much talked of battalion at the stato agricultural college will be organized. The regis tration at the farm, which, to date numbers over 150, would indicate thai at least t,wo very respectable com panies may be formed. N,o arrange ments as to officers have been an nounced yet, though the farmers, for the present at least, are to be under university cadets. Glee Club Progresses. The Qlee Club practiced last night, ' vdth full attendance. Already prog resH can be noticed. Tho pieces so far rehearsed are among the most difficult In gleo club repertoire, but with the material ho has Director Eames prom ises to do them full justice. There is still a place in the second bass to be filled, and one in the first tenor. Ap-i plication should bo made to Director Eames, and a trial will be given im mediately. This should be attended to at once. Address H 4t 4t H a it H H H it it it it it it it it If H A, Student Directory "I'frttl'))? MAY CUT THE K. C. RATE Railronds are at Work on Kansas City Excursion. Manager Davis is back from Kansas City where he has been making final arrangements regarding tho Haskoll Nobraska game this Saturday. Offi cials satisfactory to both parties have been agreed upon, and the held ques tion has been decided. Tho seating capacity or the field is not as large as Munagor Davis would have wished, but It will probably bo sufficient. So far n rrtto of J5.75 for the round trip is the lowest that has been offored for the game in Kansas City Saturday. LThc travel is so heavy, and railroad equipment !o in demand to haul traffic at. regular rates, that, the railroad officials aie loath to make any great reductions, and on this account it is possible that this rate will stand. How ever lvnfh th Ullfllnirfnn on K rate, and another cut. may be an nounced today. Tho Kansas roads are making excursions from all points in Kansas for the game. A big crowu of Haskell supporters is going to be on hand and we need 500 from Ne braska to cheer our toam on to what promises to be a severe struggle With the team in Its present condition evory ounce of enthusiasm and support and backing that the students havo in them is needed, not only at tho game In" Kansas City Saturday, but on the gridiron at practice beforo they go. We have a good oportunity right now, to get behind the men nnd help taom along when they need It. Get out on the field this afternoon, and open up, and then make arrangements to go down to the city on the Kaw and root as Kansas never has heard rooting bofore. It will be a hard games and Nebraska must be well represented. Everybody make arrangements to go. Captain-Benedict, who was so badly injured in labt Saturdays' game, is do ing well. His kneo and ankle are --a behaving better-than was expected, and his tioso is healing up rapidly. Wh..e unablo to bo out, as yet, his splendid constitution nnd gTit are standing him In good stead, and -will result In his speedy recovery. Professor Wolcott has receive a let tor from Coach Wlllard, of tho Knox college team concerning tho treatment his men received in Lincoln. Coach Willard has tle following to say: "All of us hero wero greatly pleased that Nebraska did so well last Satur day and only wished that she might navo won tagainst Mlnlesota.) If you havo a chance will you convey my good wishes and congratulation both to Booth and to Davis? "Our fellows wero quito used up af ter our game at Lincoln, but we all felt that Mgr. Davis and Coach Booth, to bay nothing of your rooters, had dono everything possible to make our trip a pleasant one." Facility and students both agree that meals at the School of Music cafo nro par excellence. DiV. E. Jack, Dentist, 1301 O St. LET THE LAWS Lawyers Worm Way Into Inter Class Athletics.

A commltteo of ono from each class was appointed by Chair man States to draw up rules for the various contests, to decldo about the ellglbilty of thb various players, etc. YORK GAME OFF. Academy Cancells Contest With York H. S. The Academy-York lootball game scheduled for noxt 8aturday has been called off by tho acadomy management. Manager Myers Btates that tho receipts wero light at tho Omaha-Acadomy game played on tho campus October 29 and that so far as ho can see there is no indication that tho gate mohdy would bo forthcoming In much ...rgor quantities next Saturday than it was two weeks ago. Sinco tho acauomy has but a small student body to draw from j. would bo difficult to make" up a largo deficit and it was deemed wise to not run the risk of going deeper In debt. The management has boon fortunate onough to securo a game with Beatrice "igh school, to bo played in Boatrlce on- next Friday, so that thjutoam will not miss tho oportunity to play a good gamo and tho management will at the same tlmo bo relieved, of tho risk of contracting a larger deficit.
