BAN ON GABS FOR UNIVERSITY PARTIES Pan-Hel Ruling Made Against the Use of Cabs for University or Fra ternity Parties The women of the University held a Pan-Hel meeting in Dean Fraham's office Tuesday afternoon. The great point at issue was the cab question. As everyone knows, there is a rule against using cabs for University or fraternity parties, yet everybody knows they are used extensively. The discussion, therefore, revolved upon the advisability of penalizing those so rorities who had already given formals and who had ridden comfortably to the dances. All the representatives freely admitted that, had their formals taken place at an earlier date, they would have ridden in 6tate as their friends. Since all admitted that they were guilty in intention, if not in action, no penalty was imposed. The law itself was not thoroughly discussed, but many opinions were ex pressed. Some thought it was hard on the boys' purses to have cabs, some thought it was harder on the girls' clothes in case of stormy weather to go without them. A cab costs $3, a dress on the average about $20; clean ing party dress, $3. These arguments seemed to favor the girls. The boys, however, do the buying of tickets and of flowers. These were the chief argu ments for the male contingent, for which the law stands. favorably. Washington State, with a score of 993 out of a possible 1.000, turned in the highest score in the intercollegiate rifle competition last week. The score of the Illinois team was 935.

SOPHOMORE VICTOFt! JUNIORS DEFEATED IN INTER CLASS DEBATE UNANIMOUS DECISION GIVEN Doctor Maxey Rose in Audience and Denied Statement When He Was Misquoted as Authority Issues Ably Discussed The Sophomore class debating team won a unanimous decision over the Junior class debating team in the championship debate of the seventh annual contest of the interclass de bates at special convocation yesterday when the question, "Resolved, That the government of the United States should prohibit the sale of munitions of war by the citizens of this country to European belligerents," was de bated. The debaters were: For the affirma tive, Axel T. Swenson, Anton Jensen, and Robert Waring; for the negative, August C. Krebs, Samuel Zimmerman, and Guy C. Chambers. Dr. Edwin Maxey coached the Sophomores and Prof. G. N. Foster the Juniors. During the course of the debate Doctor Maxey was quoted as authority on certain questions of international law. In rebuttal, Mr. Chambers of the negative side made the statement that the doctor had addressed a committee of the Nebraska Legislature on the proposed memorial to Congress in re gard to the very question under discus sion. Doctor Maxey rose and denied the statement. The speaker for the negative then apologized for the mis statement, saying that he had been misinformed by good authority. This incident was greatly enjoyed by the audience and helped to make the de bate interesting. The judges. Professors Fogg, Cald well, and Virtue, rendered a unani mous decision for the Sophomores, who had also received a unanimous de cision in their contest with the Fresh men. The main points brought out by the affirmative side were that only by such an embargo could the United States be consistent in saying that it is a neutral nation; that an embargo on muni tions of war by the United States would keep this country from turning to militarism; that such an embargo would prevent diplomatic tangles with the belligerents, and that an embargo would help to make a united nation of this country. The negative side then replied that such an embargo was contrary to all custom and international law on this subject; that such a course showed partiality toward those countries which had entered the war with the expectation that muni tions could be had from the neutrals during the course of the war, and ih&t to prohibit neutrals from sup plying munitions to the belligerents during war was to encourage the ex penditure of millions in time or peace so as to always have enough muni tions of war on hand to last through such a conflict Although the Sophomores showed a little better form and had the better of their opponents during most of the debate, yet it is the concensus of opin ion that the winning team had to work for the decision, and that the Juniors were able contestants for the championship.

TWEHTYME NAREOUT FIRST REAL PRACTICE OF SPRING FOOTBALL SEASON HELD OUTLOOK IS VERY PROMISING Coach Stiehm Pleased With Prospect of Spring Work New Men Show Form in Rudiments Inter department Baseball Twenty men were out for the first real practice of the Cornhusker spring football season yesterday afternoon. Coach Stiehm put the men through some light work falling on the ball, charging, starting, punting and pass ing. The day was unfavorable, snow falling throughout the afternoon, but the men went at it with pep which far exceeds that of the first few In dian summer days of the regular fall training. Today, Professor Loveland permitting, the Huskers will hold the last workout before Spring vacation. The second year of spring training at Nebraska has started promisingly, and with the take-up of school fol lowing the mid-semester recuperation the work of tempering the metal for the 1915 Husker eleven will be in full swing. The number of men out for yesterday's practice is some ten less than the number registered for spring work. Practically the full squad is expected for today's session. Cham berlain, the only regular in school this semester who is not out for the pre liminary work, stated yesterday that he intended to register for either foot ball or track before the end of vaca tion. Coach Stiehm has outlined an inter esting program for the season. When the men have sufficiently worked off the slowing influences of the long winter months, games will be held every week for the benefit of Husker fans. There is some promising ma terial among the freshmen and the nc-w men which gives the lengthy mentor a wide choice for several posi tions. Especially many and capable are the candidates for backfield posts. Cook, Otoupalik, and Gardiner among the Freshmen, Reese and Dempster among the new men, are candidates for backfield positions, and they are all men of exceptional ability. Reese, who is making his initial appearance in football togs, is showing up especi ally well, being quick and fast and a low hcareer. The athletic department, under whose guidance this year's Inter department Baseball League will be formed, has arranged for a big mass meeting of all the departments Im mediately following Spring vacation, at which time the managers for the various departments will be elected. Sentiment in the different depart ments is strongly in favor of the new plan which provides for only fire teams instead of ten, and the. inter department championship will prob ably be hotly contested.
