Zhe ails flebraefcan y Vol. IV, No. 73 ' UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA, LINCOLN, WEDNESDAY, FEB. J, 1905. Price 5 Cents m) TO DEBATE IOWA Nebraska to Meet Old-Time Op ponent in Forensics. i Ctrcusaafanco Preyant tho D elm to With Knnpaa. One more chango In tho Intercollegi ate diebato schodulo for 1905 has been made. Another old competitor whom Nebraska has repeatedly throshed has been dropped and a new ono taken on. Kansas university has been dropped and the University of Iowa substituted. This change completes Intercourse and severs all relations between Kansas and Nebraska. Several factors have intervened to cause th4B change. Kansas desired to meet Nebraska earlier than usual and In order to accommodato her, tho do bating board would have been obliged to rearrango tho entlro program for tho year. Moreover, tho fact that we had threshed tho Jayhawkers for three years in succession led us to look else where for stronger opponents. In 1902 Nebraska's team, consisting of C. M. Bracelen, S. C. Hawthorne and J. C. Doubt, annihilated tho Kansas men on the reciprocity question. In 1903 E. R. Buckner, G. A. Leo and R. C. James thrashed tho Kansas team on their own soil on tho question of compulsory .aribtration. Last April, in Memorial hall, E. R. Buckner, L. C. Llghtner and C. A. Sawyer dofeated the Jay hawkers for tho third time on tho Monroe doctrine. At this time use of false ovldence by tho Kansas team created a great deal of ill feeling on the part of Nebraska. Kansas then has had three strikes and is out, and when Iowa urged us to sign a contract this year the de bating board at once decided to make tho change. Tho taking on of Iowa not only gives Nobraaka a new op ponent, but an opponent which has a distinguished record. Debating work has been well organized in Iowa for a number of years, not only officially as departmental instruction, but also in the literary societies, which are far nhead of Nebraska in forensic interest and enthuslaslsm. Tho HawkeyeB havo defeated Mix nesota for several yors They quit even with Wisconsin, and havo debated Chicago and other la-e institutions. They are now determined- interrupt Nebraska's remarkri'jlo march to victory. Tho dakato will bo held in Lincoln some time in AprlL It will be a icyal combat between tho champions of the '.var.F-Msourl west and a loa.ler of ilb.i'o in the Mississippi vall-jy. Rutn a contest will without doubt create more Interest In debate than has over Veen exhibited in the University. . The other intercollegiate debate this year will bo with Washington univer sity of St Louis, which Lee, Lewis and McReynolds defeated last May at SL Louis. Washington is also making special preparations to stay Nebraska's course this year. A new .professor of English composition has been appoint ed and the debating work has otherr wise been reorganized.
