COMES BACK TO WIPE OUT DE
FEAT OF TWO YEARS
AGO.
NEGATIVE CONTESTS WISCONSIN
Teams Arc Primed to Fight to Win
Dance in Temple at 9:30 o'Clock
to Accompany the
Debate .
At S o'clock tonight in Meinoi in!
Hall Nebraska meets IJIinoiH in debate
on the queBtion of federal charters of
corporations. Today the three men i
who will represent Nebraska are in
bed behind locked doors. They have
done the mopt of their work, and to
night will be merely a resume of the
accumulated results of those labors !
preBented in the most forcible man
ner known to the combined wits of
Professors M. M. Fogg and G. N Fos
ter, and p. squad of fifteen picked men.
When the affirmative team mounts
the home rostrum, Nebraska's repre
sentatives on the negative will be be
ginning their fight against Wisconsin
at MadiBon. They left Lincoln Wednes
day, arrived at their destination yes
terday, and after a Hhort review last
evening and this morning are now
likewise resting and recuperating men
Torces for the coutest before them.
Prof. M. M. Fogg Is in charge of the
team who fight tonight away from i
their home platform, and he has given
hlB word that they will fight to win
On the affirmative team Nebraska
has one veteran and two other men,
who have exhibited great ability since
the tryouts the first of the year Byrne
C. Marcellus, '11, law '14, Ib well
known among the student body for
his admirable work against Wisconsin
in 1910, when the northerners went
home defeated. C. A. Sorensen, al
though not a member of any previous
debating team at NebraBka for two
years, wrts actively occupied in this
kind of work at Grand Island College, I
which combined with two years' work
in the Btate high school league, makes
him a man thoroughly capable of up
holding Nebraska's honors tonight
Guy C. Klddoo, '13, law '14, the third
man on the affirmative team, Is better
known In other branches of school
activities than debating, particularly
as business manager of the Dally Ne
braskan and of the Cornhuskor, but
has exhibited great ability In this new
activity.
At Wisconsin a team juBt as capable
will represent Nebraska. Two veter
ans furnlBh a strong defense which
will not lack support from tho new
member. R. W. Garrett, '12, law '14,
was a member of tho team which met
Minnesota last year. From the show
ing he made at that time he will be a
strong factor In tonlgnt s contest. H.
A. Prince, '12, law '15, Is another mem
ber of the unlucky Minnesota team
who 1b counted on for a great deal In
the debate with Wisconsin. Harry J.

ALUMNI SPIRIT BEHIND GROWTH I
Recent Addition to Loan Fund Shows
Active Interest In University on
Part of Former Studetns.
That the spirit of her alumni is a
powerful factoi in the growth of Ne
biaska is aptly shown tho case of the
A K. Carter Loan Fund, which was
accepted by the Hoard ol Regents
Tuesday This fund was established
by Mrs. Ida C. Carter, of New York
City, as a memorial to her husband.
Alfred 10. Carter gradual cd from
Nebraska in 1904, receiving a degree
in civil engineering. Soon after leav
ing the University he va-s given a
very losponslble position in connec
tion with the renovation of He.vaua.
At tho end of the first American oc
cupation of Cuba ho located In New
York City and, for several years piioi
to bis death was in charge of impor
tant phases of the rapid transit work
there. He died suddenly .it his home
.lime 11, 1912.
In a letter to the Uni 'isii .Mis
Caiter states that she knows of no
bettor memorial she could dedicate
to her husband. His alma mater w;s
always very dear to his heart and ne
fully realized the difficulties in the
path of a young man making his own
way through college.
Regarding the disposition of the
liind Mrs. Carter snys: "It would
please me that the fund be devoted to
the Engineering Department when
ever a need arises there, and I like
wise prefer it to be used for male atu
deuta." Ly.
BurtiB, '13, although a flrBt-year man
on the team, is well known over the
University for hla" literary ability and
will give Nebraska a great boost to
wards victory.
Illinois comes as a defeated team
with hopes of retaking the honors lost
In 1910 to C L. Rein, Byrne Marcellus
and Anan Raymond. Whether the' at
tain these hopes can be told better this
evening. Whether victory or defeat
comes, Nebraska supporters can be
sure that they were supported by two
teams worthy of the Bchool Sr.

ACTION SETTLES THE QUESTION

mond Talk.
Al a meeting of tlie upper classes
I held in the Temple yesterday morning
a resolution advocating the wearing of
, green skull caps by tho freshmen was
i adopted by an overwhelming majority.
president ol the senior clasB Louis
M.t. president of the sophomore
class, acted as secretary
The meeting was called for the pur
pose or determining the attitude of
the upper classmen on tho freshmen
cH) lssu , and as soon as it was called
to order Ham Currier, on behalf nt the
of Nebraska, ate In favor of establish-
Ing the custom whereby all freshmen
, will be expected to wear green capB "
Remarks were at once called for
.after a motion had been passed llmit
I Ing the speakers to throe minutes.
'Otto Slnke took the platform and made
la few remarks In opposition to the
J plan, in which he submitted a aerieB
, of questions pertaining to the estab
lishment of the cap Idea as a precedent
! for succeeding classes to follow He
was followed by Harry Coffee, who
argued in favor of the moasure. He
mentioned the fact that Nebraska was
lacking in real college spirit and cited
examples of good spirit in other
schools where the freshman enp Idea
prevails He also urged that the meas-
tire would not be difficult to enforce,
i hecause freshmen, when seeing them-
selves cut by their clasamatos for their
refusal to wear the caps, would soon
get in the band wagon with the major
ity that favored them
C L Rein was called on to give hlB
viewB. He declared that the Issue at
Btako had really changed from what It
originally was, that tho matter was
seemingly up to the freshmen Instead
of the upper classmen, and hence he
failed to see the object of discussing
it on its merits. Ho referred to his
article In the Nebraskan yesterday as
Btatlng his position on the matter.
