NINTH VICTORY
Nebraska Debaters Win Ninth
Successive Victory.
Close Contest Renal (n In n Voti of 3 t'o
1 in FTor of the AltfrmfttlYO.
The ninth successive victory In de
bate for the University of Nebraska
btx'ame a fact last night when the
judges of the Washington-Nebraska
debate cast their ballot of 2 to 1 in
favor of the affirmative, which was
the side upheld by Nebraska.
The question debated was the same
one that Iowa and Nebraska fought
over and was as follows:
"Resolved, That the second sentence
of the second section of the Fourteenth
Amendment to the Constitution should
be repealed."
The second section of the amend
ment is as follows: .
"Representatives shall be apportion
ed among the several states according
to their respective numbers, counting
the whole number of pcrsdns'ln each
htate, excluding Indians not taxed. But
when the right to vote at any election
for the choice of electors for president
nnd vice president of the United
States, representatives in congress, the
executive and Judicial officers of the
state, or .the members of the legisla
ture Thereof, is denied to any of the
male inhabitants of such state, being
twenty-one years of age and citizens
of the United States, or in any wa
alrldged, except for participation in re
bellion or other crime, the basis of
representation therein shall be reduced
In the proportion whiclr the number of
such male citizens shall bear to the
whole number of male citizens twenty
one years of age In such state."
Unlike the contest with Iowa uni
versity last Friday night, the two
teams practically agreed upon the an
alysis of the question. The main bone
of contention upon which the argument
hinged was whether or not an educa
tional qualification for voting would
in the meanfng of the second 'sentence
of the second soctlon of the Fourteenth
Amendment be a cause for the reduc
tion, of a state's representation. Wash
ington held that it could not under the
Fourteenth Amendment be consldeied
as a denial or abridgment, while Ne
braska maintained that the sentence
included all denials or abridgments
eave those mentioned as exceptions In
, the sentence of the amendment.
Washington university has, this
ytar, but the one debate and with
Ave months of training they were pre
pared for the battle of their lives.
Of the Nebraska men, each proved
himself worthy of the honor that had
been bestowed upon him and equal to
the1 responsibility .which it carried wfth
it and special commendation is due
each man.
The .work of the Washington de-
bators was also of a very high order as
Is Bhown by the closeness of the de
cision. The following men upheld the affirm
ative for Nebraska: John Dean Ring
er, ('03, Law '05 Albert Melville Levy,
'07, and Joseph Magnus Swensen, '08.
. The negative was maintained for
Washington by the following men:
Fred "Armstrong, Jr., '03; Graham
Cook Stovcns, '07, and Henry Theodore
Ferris, '02 (Cornell), Law '05,
The iollowlng men rendered the de
cision. Professor Jesse Macy, Iowa
college; Judge L. P. Davidson, Tecum
Beh, and Judgo Sedgwick, of the Ne
braska supreme court.

At a meeting of the Advisory Board
of the University Y. M. C. A. held on
Tuesday evening, the eleventh, Mr.
Arthur Jergenson of Omaha, formerly
of De Pauw University, was unani
mously chosen to act as general sec
retary for the ensuing year. The Board
foeis that In securing the services of
Mr. Jergenson, it has been unusually
fortunate, as he comes highly recom
mended in every way, by such men
a3 Secretary Mayne of the Lincoln as
sociation, Secretary Wade of the
Omaha city association, where Mr.
Jergensen is well and favorably known
and state secretary J. P. Bailey. The
most telling recommendations are
those of the large number of Univer
sity students with whom he is ac
quainted, especially those from Omaha
where he has lived for some years.
At De Pauw university where Mr.
Jorgenson has been in attendance, he
lias a host of friends who are sorry
to hear of his decision to leave that
institution, but who are glad to hear
of the honor which has been paid
him by a great university. While
there he was prominent in all the
activities of the University and will be
a strong addition to our forces.
During the past year Mr. Jorgenson
has held a very Important place in the
Omaha association and has met with
more than ordinary success.
Many of the prominent association
men are personally acquainted with
hun and express great pleasuro that
the University Y. M. C A. has secured
such an able leader.

DEFEAT DOANE.
'Varsity Wins Easy Victory From
Crete Team.
The 'Varsity played good ball with
Doane yesterday. They started out
willi two runs in the first and it looked
like a Bcoop-untll Doane brought In i
man in the fourth. Nilsson pitched
first rate throughout the game for Ne
braska, striking out seven men and
only giving tho visitors -three hits.
Cook and Rine did star batting; Cook
got three hits out of three times at
bat and Rine three out of four, while
the entire home team put it out of the
visitors' reach thirteen times. Tho
only change In the 'Varsity lineup was
Bender at first base, Barta behind tho
bat, and this combination worked well.
Mendland, the Doane pitcher, had
plenty of speed, but his' control could
not compaic with his opponent's, The
visitors worked hard but . Bender's
bunch was too much for them and the
game ended with a score of 6 td 2" In
favor of the University.
