fliurs'..y eleven o'clock to pay tri
bute to Dr. Cutter for the honor he
jiinss to Nebraska.
'This is an honor never- before
iven to a college so far west as Ne

less energy with which Dr. Cutter
jerked as chairman of the executive
board of the association." eulogizes
one student. "The president has here

Students arranged and conducted

Man for man the faculty of the Uni
rersity of Nebraska Is equal or su
perior to that of any medical college
in the United States that he has vis
tted. Dean Cutter stated in respond
ing to fie praises of the students.
His election is a recognition of the
worth of Nebraska, he insisted, and
both the students and the faculty
make the college. Men working in
back offices have contributed many
of the epoch-making discoveries in
medicine, he said, and fine buildings
are not necessary to medical advance.
Each of the student speakers
pledged the support of his group to
Dr. Cutter's efforts to raise the stand
ards of medical education and to
place Nebraska among the best medi
cal colleges of the country-
"M'e had a real pep meeting." writes
Harry Kretzler to the Nebraskan. "I
never thought the Medics had It in
them. At the rate they are going they
ill eclipse the Laws some of these
days. And the way U-U-Uni, Ver-Ver-Versiti

DEAN CUTTER
IS
OF TALK BY LINDSAY
The Difference Between Argu
mentation in This Country
and England Is Ex
plained. Kenneth Lindsay, who is traveling
in the United States in the interest
of the Workers Educational Bureau,
spoke at the Grand Hotel last Fri
day noon. Mr. Lindsay came to this
country with several of his fellow
students to debate with some of the
larger eastern schools. When ;ho
team returned to Europe, he re
mained here and is now touring the
Universities of this country.
The subject of his talk Friday was.
"The Fundamental Difference or De
bating in this County and England."
In England the debaters in the school
taka sides according to their own
convictions, said Mr. Lindsay. There
is no organized team, as in the Uni
ted States but each one presents and
argues his chosen side as an individ
ual. Mr. Lindsay went on to explain
that after the chosen speakers have
presented their cases anyone in the
audience can then talk on the sub
iect, ,the debates sometimes1 lasting
until a very late hour. When all who
desire have spoken, the 'Ayes' go
cut one door and the 'Nays' go out an
other and are counted. In this way
the debates are decided. Mr. Lind
say mentioned, as a general compari
son,, that debating in this country
seemed to be taken as more of a
sport than in England.
In speaking of the political situa
tion, he said that the two old parties.
the conservatives and tne UDerais,
had become one party. The oppos
ing party to these united parties is
the labor organization which has be
come vr? powerful in England. In
the House of Commons, "here is a
large group of coal miners and steel
workers, men who have actually done
the work and who know the condi
tions. The middle class, wnicn na
so prominent in England a few years
ago. has now practically disappeared.
4 few have become rich but the ma
jority are, as Mr. Lindsay expressed
it 'wondering what to do without
next.'
The members of the University of
Nebraska intercollegiate-debate teams,
former members of Delta Sigma Rho,
the honorary debate fraternity, and
several members of the faculty were
addressed Friday afternoon in the
Seminary room by Kenneth M Lind-
sav. Oxford University '22, member of
the Oxford team that recently debPted
Harvard. Yale, -Princeton, Columbia,
and Pennsylvania on the question of
the United States entering the League
of Nations the question which Ne
braska representatives debate with
Iowa at Lincoln and South Dakota, at
Vermillion, April 18.
In introducing Mr. Lindsay, Prof.
M M. Fogg, noted that three of Ne
braska's first Rhodes Scholars to Ox
ford came from debating teams S.

Close of Tournament Brings
End to Week of Excitement
The basketball tournament is over.
A week of excitement and relief from
work and the tedious grind has
passed. There is no pleasure to look
forward to now but the ifpproachtng
mid-semesters, which come this week.
Perhaps you had forgotten that. Al

It seems but a day since we breathed
a sigh of relief that the finals had
been passed. Not passed with credit
maybe, but over anyway.
And now the next batch is start

M TALKS
TO COMMERCIAL CLUB
Big Risk to Buy Insurance for
Good Will Says Hinds of
Lincoln Trust Co.
Mr. Hinds, of the Lincoln Trust
Co., spoke at the monthly dinner of
the University Commercial Club, held
last Wednesday night at the Gmud
Hotel. Edger Hiebenthal and Nor
man Cramb gave short talks about
the dance that the club is to give a
week from Friday.
Mr. Hinds' talk was on fire insur
ance and fire prevention. He stress
ed the idea that people are taking a
big risk when they buy insurance
from their friends in order to get
their good will. Only an experienced
insurance man should be consulted
when a policy is taken, and a? one
word may change the meaning of a
policy, and as a policy is a contract,
one should be very careful when col
sidering insurance. Mr. Hinds told
hew a great deal of money is being
spent today to keep down the rreat
loss from fires, as insurance compan
ies are more concerned in preventing
fires than putting them out
Mr. Hinds graduated from the Col
lege of Business Administration at
the University in'l918. He is the
only man who ever held the presi
dency of the Commercial Club for two
years. .

Seward Wins Championship in
Class Ii by Trimming
Chappell Valentine
Takes Class C.
Playing an unbeatable brand of bas
ketball, both on the offensive and tho
defensive, the Omaha Technical cage
crew won their second state cham
pionship in three years by trimming
the Hastings cagesters. 2.") to 11. in
the final game of the world's great
est basketball tournament last night.
The impregnable five-man defense
and the uncanny goal-shooting of the
Tech tossers was the most spectacular
ever seen on the Coliseum floor, and
the result was never in doubt after
Tech opened the game with three long
baskets from the middle of the floor
on as many tries. Tecli was leading
at the half, lfi to 4.
A crowd which packed the Coliseum
from the edge of the playing floor
to the roof witnessed the final con
tests last night Cups to the win
ning teams below class A were award
ed just before the final battle began.
Lincoln was presented with the 1922
state championship football banner.
The York and Hastings bands played
thruout the evening.
The victory by Tech last night again
proved the futility of any attempt to
pick winners according to dope. Lin
coln and Omaha Central, favorites of
the dopesters, were vanquished in the
second round, while Creighton, another
favorite, went out in the semi-finals
Immediately after the opening
whistle sounded, Tech went into the
lead when Holm, star guard, dropped
one through the hoop from the center
of the floor. Hastings took time out,
and as soon as play was resumed,

score at the end of the first quarter
was 12 to 2 in favor of Tech. The half
ended with the Omaha team holding
a 16 to 4 advantage. Hastings not
having scored a single field goal.
The second half was somewhat
slower than the first. Hastings final
ly located the hoop for three field
goals and one free throw, while the
Tech hoopstcrs garnered nine more
points. Coach Drummond of Techni
cal and Coach Newman of Hastings
substituted freely during the last fev
minutes of play.
The playing of the whole Omaha
team was the feature of the evening.
The Tech lads guarded with deadly
precision, and Hastings was unable
to get near their goal on but few
occasions. The goal-shooting of the
Tecksters was little short of miracu
lous, the Omaha cagester? making an
average of one out of two shots good
for points. Vermillion was the out
standing player for Hastings. The
work of Holm and Swanson, Omaha
guards, was superb.
The class B championship was won
by Seward, who defeated the Chappell
quintet 34 to 11, in a one-sided game.
The Seward team clearly outclassed
the Chappell crew. Valentine captured
fir.t honors in Class C by defeating
Harvard, 10 to 8. in a slow contest.
The Harvard team was tired from
playing a protested game with Far
man in the afternoon. The Omaha
School for the Deaf won class D hon
ors by trimming Haveloclc, 18 to 10, in
the first game at the Coliseum last
night
