and Bhe has this year picked a Btrong
team with tho full expectation of re

team at Madison Is arguing .the nega
tive side of the question, tho affirm
ative team will be contesting on tho
platform in Memorial hall with tho
representatives of Illinois. Illinois also
has a record of defeating Nebraska in
her last contest two years ago and
reports from Urbana Indicate that the
Illlnl are again out for, blood. Tho
strength of their team is largely prob
lematical but it is ac retainty that
everyone who attonds Friday even
ing's debate will find them putting up
a hard fight for supremacy.
Both the Wisconsin contest and the
Illinois dobato aro arranged under the
direction of tho Central Debating
League. ThlB Includes Wisconsin,

ka. Each year every school In the
league debates with two othors, taking-
one side of tho question In each
debate Tho schedule is s6 arranged
that each school meets all of tbojith
ors every two years. Last year Ne
braska defeated Iowa and lost to Mln-
nesota. Previous to tnat time her
record had boon singularly free from
defeat.

Tickets for reserved seats for the
home debate are now on sale at Harry
Porter's. All seats in tho hall aro

CONTEST WITH COTNER
BA8KETBALL SCHEDULE OPENS
8ATURDAY NIGHT.
LOTS OF GOOD MATERIAL OUT
Many Football Men Are Out for Bas
ketball and Gymnasium Is Crowd
ed Four Times a Week
at Practice.
Apparently moro Intorost Is being
manifested In basket-ball this year
than has been shown at Nebraska
for years. Tho prospects for a win
ning team aro particularly bright and
this fact lohds to tho interest and
onthuslasm which the baskot ball
players of Uie school are exhibiting.
Almost all of the star players of
last season's fast team are back in
r
DOBBS
school, the only soriouB losses being
ex-Captain Paul Bell at left guard and
RusBell Burru8S from forward. Those
playerB were among the most reliablo
of last year's team but It is hoped
that from the multitude of material
which Dr. Clapp now haB to work witl,
that their places will bo filled with
strong players.
Tho number of men who are turning
out for practice Is almost unprecedent
ed. Even before the close of the xoot
ball season Dr. Clapp expressed nlm
self as being much gratified with the
large number of promising candidates
who had turned out for practice, but
with the closing of the football sched
ule this number has been greatly In
creased. DRI8COL

Game Saturday.
On Saturday evening In the Armory
tho first gamo of tho season will bo
played and at that tlmo a good line on
tho team may be obtained. The game
Is with tho team from Cotner univer
sity nnd inasmuch bb the Cotnor team
has beon practicing hard for Bovoral
weeks It Is oxpected that they will
give the varsity a hard rub. They are
awaro of the advantago thoy have In
having beon at work longer and con
fidently xpect to win tho game.
In the Cotnor game Dr. Clapp will
very probably try out all of the moro
promising of the candidates so as to
ee how they show up In action against
another team. So far there aro somo
fifteen or twenty men outside of tho
ones who played on tho team last sea
son who havo showed sings of being
or varsity caliber and it Ib Dr. Clapp's
Intention to glvo thorn all a thorough
trial before he begins tho weedlng-out
process.
Juniors Defeated.
LiihI evening the junior class team
wuh defeated by tho fast team from
the city Y. M. C. A. The gamo was
played under tho A. A. IT. rules and
consequently tno Juniors, who have
been playing under the Inter-colle-plate
rules all the time, wero greatly
handicapped. A further disadvantage
was the size of the floor. Tho game
vhBvl)lhyed utrfn'e'lr. M. C. A., where
the floor Is much smaller than in the
Armory, und It took tho juniors somo
time before thoy could accustom them
selves to the change.
The junior class team Is casting
longing glances toward the class cham
pionship pennant, and they are put
ting In some good licks In tho hope
of developing a team that can land
the title.
The varsity squad will meet in the
gym ut 4 o'clock this afternoon to go
through signal practice for tho Cotner
game. Regular practice Is now held
tour times a week as follows: At 4
o'clock on Tuesday and Thursday, 5
