Horace B. English nnd C. L. Rlen
were yesterday' elected by the sopho
more class to bo members of the inter-
class debating board. Both men have-
been prominent in debates since they
have been in the. university. English
was alternate on one of the varsity
teams last year and Rlen was a mem
ber of the team which defeated Illinois
on December 2. Rlen was nominated
by C. P, Phillips and A. H; Dinsmoro
nominated English. No time was lost
in making nomination speeches.
The real horo of the (sophomoro
meeting was Horace English, who;6nly
a few days ago, while his friends were
lining up the candidacy which was to
'elect him to a membership on the In
terclass debating board , was an
nounced by the examiners as one of
two men to -pass the recent Rhodes
.scholarship examinations. There was
a general. outburst of enthusiasm when
his name was spoken, and a speech
wbb called for. .
Sears BooYtTI English"
President Sears; who was in the
chair, said that the class certainty
should be proud of the success at
tained by English, as it was not mere
ly an honor to him, hut one for Ills
class and his university. "Wo should
all look up to English as an .honor to
our school." English, In a well word
ed speech of less than a half dozen
sentences, thanked the class for the
honor it had chosen to bIiow him, nnd
further, "I feel deeply .grateful to the
clasB for this honor, and shall strive
to do my duty. And I shall always be
glad to do anything for the clnss and
for my university."
A report by the sophomore hop com
mittee chairman, Verne Andrews,
shpwed that 99 tickets had been sold.
He gave a dotalled account of how
the money was expended, and when a
balance" of $15.75 was announced, aB a
profit on the dance, the members of
the class appeared to be more than
sntlslied with the work of the com
mittee. The basketball situation was dis
cussed and announcement made to the
effect that the class team will not be
finally chosen until after the final cx
amlnatlpns for the first semester. The
tournament can then be held with a
definite knowledge of "who's who."
The sophomore clasB is thoroughly
sick of the ineligibility fever 'that

excitement immediately prevailed.
''The sophomores are not dead," Phil

lutely nothing to lose and a great deal

what will make it possible for
someone to win this contest.
