Last year, tho championship for class
baBkotball was won by tho present

weaken them somewhat, but it is
hoped that suitable material can be
found to fill up, tho, gaps. .

sity waB chosen and tho dato sot for
tho try-outs and tho prollralna.ry do
batOB as woll as for tho final cham
pionship contest. -
Tho quoBtlpn which was decided on
wns: "Ilesolvod, That county option Is
tho boat mothod of doaling with tho
liquor tra'filc in Nobraska." Tho qtioB
tlon of county option was decldod upon .
aftor Borne debate bocauso it Is a
question oxpected to cause sorop ex
citement In tho coming oloctlon
Come Soon.
Tho try-outs will como on Thursday,
February 17th. This dato leaves littlo
tlmo for preparation on tho part of the
cotnestants. Tho lateness of the sen
son, however, makes the early dato
necossnry.
Tho preliminary dobato botwoon-tho '
freshmen and sophomores will bo hold
on Wednesday, March 2d, .and that
between tho seniors and juniors -on
tho following ovonlng. Thoso dobntoa v
were sltauted on Wednesday and
Thursday owing to tho fact that such
a debate on Friday and Saturday oven
Ings-wouId-bo-noxt-to-lmpoHslblo: OtT"
thoso evenings tho unlvorsity public
is largely occupied with affairs of a -more
or less, social nature.
Another milt tor which came up be
fore tho board for discussion was tho
manner of selecting th'o Judges. No
definite plan was agreed upon as to
the manner In which they should be
olected for tho preliminaries, or tho
final dobates. It was decided, how
over, to leave tho selection of tho
Judges vfor tho pro'llmlhorios to tho
threesacuity members df the board.
,The6 membors wero appointed Mon
day by Chjjncollor Avery. Thoy, aro,
Dr. Jowott, Dean Hastings and Prof.
M. M. Fogg.
Tho question decided on . was: '
'IResolYed, That county, option, is
contestants. The latoncss of tho sea
were scheduled for Wednesday and ;
, Not Discussed,
' Tho quostlon of the advisability, of
county option is not ono much dls--
cUsseaTnTho press of Nobraska at tho
present time, but it is bolievod to bo
a question which may become a 'burning-
Jsbuq nU tho next political cam
paign. 1 such is tho case, tho, de
bates at tho unlvorsity will bo of ben
efit in promoting a better understand
ing of the question.
As tho time for preparation for the
try"-outa is short, a. qiiestion ,which.is
more or less-famlllar'to tho student
body was desirable. The question for
tho try-outs "will bo retained for t'he
preliminaries. According to tho opin
ion expressed by the board, alf wero in
fayof of retaining, tho question in the
final contest on Phi'Bota Kappa day.'
8hould the teams meeting in- the final
debate happen to be arrayed on, the
same side of the question, however, it
may bo necessary to jchooso a. now
question. '
