A GREAT INDOOR SPORT.
Nebraska Iiuh tho moBt utlructivo
homo basket-hall schedule this wlntor
of any Hchool In the west, tho "Dig
lClght" colIegCH not excopted, and for
this seaHon all tho gamoH played on
tho local floor dosorvo tho patronago
of tho groat majority of tho people in
this university. Tho list or contests
yet to bo held In Lincoln Includos
Drake, .Missouri, KaiiBas and Minne
sota. Largo crowdH attended both or the
Amos games last week and were well
pleased with tho Bhowing or tho Corn
buskers in theso initial contests or the
local inter-collegiato season. The
student tickets, or course, led many
students to go otherwise, not possess
ing them, would have stayed at homo.
Hut. nevertheless, tho attendanco at
theso conteatB showed that tho stu
dents are interested In basket-ball, a
game which has come to be the best
sport or tho Indoor season.
As the game Is now played it is ex
ceedingly Interesting to the spectator
who Ib seldom heard to make that old
.complaint about tho baskot-baU'a being
a "slow game, fit only ror girls." Tho
revised ruloB have eliminated tho pos
sibility of frequent fouling and thus
tho factor that In rocdnt years result
ed In tho constant throwing of free
goals has boon done away with to an

amalng extent. Before a liberal
amount of rough play was permitted
by tho rules, tho game far too often
consisted mainly of tho throwing of
goals from fouls. This made tho sport
so tamo that It was about tho least
patronized of any of tho college games.
Under the now regulations tho gamo
is very attractive
Rough play, now being permitted to
a limited extent, tho gamo is an in
teresting ono to watch and tho Bpoc
tator can socuro a good amount of en
joyment and entertainment from
watching inter-colleglato contests. It
haB come In some of its aspects to re
mind the spectator of football and by
this means keeps up Interest through
out the average game 'between well
matched teaniB.
Nebraska's five is now in good" fight
ing form and during tho noxt fow
weolts will meet some strong teams in
games that undoubtedly will bo 'mark
ed by fast and fufloW play.

enf tho power plant depends largely
upon water power, and a- recent freeze
has ho reduced it that several of tho
dynamos havo had to bo cut out. Power
is now being furnifjhod only in the
places where It is most needed.
WILL EXCISE CLASSES
CHAMPIONSHIP DEBATE ON
BETA KAPPA DAY.
PHI
TO BE AN IMPORTANT AFf AIR
Question for First Discussion Has
Been Changed From Encamp
ment to the Parcels Post
Question.
According to present Indications the
Inter-clasB debates which will be held
early In the spring will become one of
the most important annual functions
at the university. Plans which havo
now boon completed and approved by
Chancellor Avery will make this event
nonrly as groat an honor and arouse
as much enthusiasm as any other uni
versity ovont.
The problem which confronted the
committee wbb to get some time for
tho final debate when all university
students could attend without taking
tlmo from other work that demanded
It. It was felt that tho time at which
the debate was held would be nearly
aB important a factor In determining
its importance and tho Interest taken
In it as any other one consideration.
Classes To Be Dismissed.
The plan which haB been agreed
upon and which has received the sanc
tion of Chancollor Avery provides that
all ten o'clock classes shall be dis
missed on Aprjl 6, the last Tuesday
Tjofore tho EaBter vacation. The final
debate for the class championship of
tho university will bo hold at this time
and together with the regular chapel
period will give ample time for the
debate.
The last convocation before Easter
vacation is tho time that the Phi Beta
Kappa announcements are made, and
thoy will this year be made after the
conclusion of tho debate and before
the decision of tho judges has been
announced. As the senior class always
attends this convocation in a body, it
is felt that Inter-class debating will at
once be put upon the highest level and
will become an honor second only to
honors for intercollegiate debating. It
is expected that by this moans a real
Interest in debating, such as has in
tho past given other-colleges a distinct
advantage over Nebraska, vill be built
up here.
New Question Chosen.
It was at first announced that the
question for debate between tho soph-

at S2.95New Store.
oniore-rreshman and junior-senior
classes would be the encampment
question. It was hoped that by select
ing a question of this nature it would
be possible for the teams which might
bo solected in the different classes to
devote more of their time to the ques
tion ror the final championship debate.
It was rolt quite generally, however,
among those interested In tho matter
that a deeper question should be
ehoson ror the first debates. In re
sponse to this feeling tho committees
decided at a meeting held yesterday
that tho first question which should
be debated should be tho parcels post
question rather than tho encampment
question. The exact wording will be
announced at a later time.
It has been decided that the class
teams must bo chosen by tho twenty
second of February. Tho selection of
the teams will be by competitive try
outs but the arrangement of all details
has been left In the. hands of tho diff
erent class committees. Tho question
for tho preliminary tryouts will bo tho
same parcels post question which will
later be dobated by tho teams. All
those interested In trying out for the
class teams should hand their names
to some member of tho committee In
charge of tho niattor in their class.
