If the plan proves successful, the
ones that have the matter in charge
are planning to form a University
Week Association, composed of a
number of the professors and also

FORMER h:gh SCHOOL
DEBATERS QRSAKIZE
Said to Be More Than a Hundred
From Leagues Over State Pur
pose to Get Better Acquainted
The men and women who took part
in the High School Debating League
will form an organization this week.
Over a hundred men and women now
in the University were once debaters
in the High School League. The men
now working on the organization say
that the purpose Is to get better ac
quainted. They will arrange for sev
eral social meetings before the year
is over, and if arrangements can be
made their pictures mill appear in
the Corahnsker.
A meeting of all former High School
Leaguers will be called and all mem
bers are requested to watch for an
announcement in the Daily Nebras
kan. Doctor Bessey Weaker
The condition of Doctor Bessey re
mains much the same except that he
was somewhat weaker last evening.
He is still conscious, but seldom
speaks and seems less interested in
things about him.
Why He Quit
A janitor of a school threw up his
job the other day. When asked the
trouble, he said: "I'm bonest and I
wont stand being slurred. If I find a
pencil or a handkerchief about the
school when I'm sweeping I bang or
put It up. Every little while the
teacher, or some one that is too
cowardly to face me, will give me a
slur. A little while ago I seen wrote
on the board, "Find the least common
multiple.' Well, I looked from cellar
to garret for that thing, and I wouldn't
know the thing If I met It on the
street. Last night, in big writin', on
the blackboard, it said, "Find the
greatest common divisor.' Well, I
says to myself, "both of them things
are lost now; and 111 be accused of
takin' "em, so I quit!"
HIS
WESLEYAN MEETS HUSKERS FOR
SECOND GAME SATURDAY
KELLOGG IS TO OFFICIATE
Coaches Stiehm and Kline Agree on
Referee After Long Contro
versy Coyotes Are
Confident
The return game between the Wes
leyan Coyotes and the Huskera will
be played In the Armory Saturday
night Wesleyan will meet Nebraska
in a somewhat less confident mood
than she did three weeks ago, when
the Huskera upset all the dope and
won a decisive 13-8 victory, but al
though she will display no over-confidence,
she will not be wholly devoid
of hope. And there Is little reason
why Wesleyan should not look for
ward to Saturday's game with gleeful
anticipation. For with the wonderful
team she has, she stands a very good
chance to even up the series with the
Huskers. Since her defeat at the
hands of Nebraska she has devoted
much of her time to planning a sweep
ing program of revenge, which she In
tends to stage Saturday night
Coach Stiehm and Coach Kline have
at last agreed upon Kellogg, manager
of athletics at Iowa, a Michigan man,
as the referee for Saturday's game.
This Is the final culmination of a long
controversy between the Nebraska
mentor and the guardian of Wes
leyan's athletic prestige. Mark Hy
land, who has officiated at most of the
Missouri Valley games of the northern
division, was Coach Stiehm's choice
for the eleventh man, but-the choice
did not agree with. Kline's plan of
campaign. According to the Coyote
coach, Hyland was too lax in his dis
cipline, Kline named several coaches,
some of them prominent in Missouri
Valley circles, but those mort desired
by Stiehm were unable to serve on
tbJs particular night because of previ
ous engagements. The coaches got
together yesterday and agreed upon
Kellogg, one of the men sugested by
Coach Kline.
The Huskers finished the Drake
series in good shape, and started prac
tice for the Wesleyan game yesterday.
Kiefer, the lengthy speeder who
scored six goals in the last game with
Drake, found the hoop at will yester
day. Gardner, Campbell Rutherford
and Thiesen, forwards, showed rare
form at locating the basket, and also
played a strong floor game. Hngg,
Milliken and Sheldon, guards, played
up to their usual form, showing cp
well in playing the floor and In defen
sive work.
Mines Mental Gymnasts May Challenge
Colorado
Chess is to be the next addition to
the intercollegiate program If plans
now being formed at the School of
Mines era carried out.
Interest In chess baa increased re
markably at that Institution ever
since the founding, a few months ago,
of an orga&iijuiGs devoted to the fur
therance of such scientific games.
A meeting was called last Thursday
to perfect plans of organization and
to pick a student team which will
challenge other colleges ta the con
ference. This type of contest, so com
mon in Eastern schools, may soon be
oa a firm basis In the Rocky Mountain
region.
