BRIEF REVIEW OF THE TWO DE
BATES NEBRA8KA L08T.
Oratory and Mumps Rlay Havoc Both
Debates Very Close 4llinol6
Decision Not Unanimous.
' :In reviewing' the Wlficonsln-Neljrns-1m
debate from this point after the
elapse of a few" days, It may be said
that .Nebraska, lost on account of one1
imng, hick oi training in delivery, in
Marshall and Robtusbh Wisconsin had
'jtwo men of extraordinary ability in
tho field of oratory and It was unques
tionably a consideration of -this - sort
that turned the decision. The faculty
members present and the Judges de
clared that so far as tho evidence was
concerned, Nebraska had the better
of It. On tie opposing team, all ngrq'ed
that the one whoso arguments tho pre
sented least effectively, counted or
most, was' Mr. R. B. Frost, but in tho
' polished delivery of Mr. Robinson and
the whirl-wind-like rebuttals of
Mr.
Marshall Wisconsin had two weapons The members of the committee, be
that counted for considerably more Moving that the primary purpose of
thun the logic of the other. Another khese nartfes is to cot members ac-
circumstance working against Ne
braska's team was the poor condition
of one of its members, Joseph Swcn
sen. Mr. Swensen got up from a sick
bed in order to Es present and tho ho
fi1t In fnlrlv crnnri rnnrHMnn nt' tli 1k. I
ginning of the debate, he was soon in
a state approaching exhaustion; "the
audience was whirling like a merry-go-round."
Ho certainly deserves
great credit for the kind of grit he dis
played. There .were but two' judges for the
reason that a third could not be
agreed upon. Theso agreed In the de
cision rendered, but both declared tho
debate to be exceedingly close. Pro
fessor Wilcox, of Iowa, said that Ne
braska's evidence was more clearly put
togother and more clearly presented
than that of the1 other side, but that
Wisconsin excelled In delivery. Judge
H. E. Deemer, also of Iowa, said that
Wisconsin won the contest by two
points, according to his method of
reckoning and both of theBe were on
the matter of delivery. One of the
members of the 'Wisconsin teani ad
mitted thdy saw Nebraska had the bet
tdr evidence' and went in to win the
contest on other grounds.,
The debate marks the beginning of
a new era in tho ''sport" at Nebraska.
,It-.wns far and'nway the 'largest event
)f'tho kind thatha'sejer occurred
here. Memorial ' Hall was crowded to
"Its' seating' capacity and it is esti
mated that about nino hundred people
j$ere present. Rooting was well or
ganized under C. C. McWlllIams and
' enthusiasm ran high. , A group of 'Wis
consin alumni attended lit a body and
.also did some effective cheering. Wil
liam J. Bryan, who presided and gave'
a happy address on the value of de-
bating, said the debate was move in
structlvo and more thoro than most
or those he had heard In Congress.
About $375 was realized, nearly
enough to meet the expenses of both
.debates, which will not fall so heavily

Bellamy and Captain" Rlno being tho
only veterans. For this reason the
game will be watched with peculiar In
torest; It will give the first chance of
getting a line on tho now men. In
practice the Cornhuskers havo been
ddlng some good work and should
make things Interesting for Ducky's
team.
The fact that Dort, tho star pitcher

stnrt the game in tho box for Lincoln
gives added interest to the occasion.

three games with Holmes's men, the
