The University of Illinois, with
its great collection of mileds, will be
the favorite in the four-mile univer
sity relay, having won that event at
the Illinois Relays this spring in 17
minutes 56.5 seconds, which is con
siderably faster than the Kansas Re
lay record for the event set at 18
minutes 7.8 seconds by Oregon State
College in 1925.
Iowa, of the Western Conference,
also is sending a big squad to Kansas
which will, include Nelson Sn the

this winter.

ence will come Beattie of the Colo
rado Aggies, who will be remembered

Speaker Is 'Selling America
To Americans'; Lecture
Is Open to Public
Cora Johnstone Best, adventurer,
author and lecturer, will be the guest
of the University of Nebraska this
week and will speak at a special con
vocation, not limited to students, at
11 o'clock Friday in the Temple
theater.
"Thundering Rapids" will be the
title of Dr. Best's talk, and it will
be illustrated by moving pictures
and slides. Her lecture is one of the
outstanding features of the year's
convocation program, according to
Prof. Paul H. Grummann, director
of the School of Fine Arts at the
university.
Pictures Are New
Dr. Best is "selling America to
the Americans" under the auspices
of the bureau of commercial econ
omics, a part of the department of
public instruction at Washington.
The moving pictures and slides she
will show are new and vivid, have
never been commercialized, and are
of scenes never before photographed.
She is an adventurer in the true
sense of the word. She has hunted,
climbed, and explored from the Arc
tic circle to the tropics. For seven
summers she has spent from four to
seven months in the wilds of Can
ada, looking for unusual sights and
bringing them back in pictures.
Dr. Eest will make a special sp.
peal for conservation, believing that
education must create in Americans
a consciousness of the necessity for
conservation of forests, animals,
birds, and flowers.

DEBATES WERE
WELL ATTENDED
White Says Past Season Was
Successful; Team Held
Twelve Contests
720 HEARD FIRST DEBATE
"With more debates and a better
average attendance at them, I con
sider the past year a successful de
bate season," stated H. A. White,
professor of English in the Univer
sity and director of forensic activ
ites. Nebraska engaged in twelve de
bates during the 1928 season, five of
them being held in the Social Scien
ces auditorium at Lincoln.
Nebraska debaters talked before
their largest audience in the first de
bate of the season against Cam
bridge, England. 720 persons at
tended this debate held in the old
Armory on the evening of Octo
ber 31.
Attendance Was Good
"Attendance at our debates this
season was much better than in
other years," remarked Professor
White, "but it leaves something to
be desired." The debate coach went
on to say that he attributed the size
of the audience at their first contest
to the uniqueness of seeing foreign
ers in debate.
"We attempted during this sea
son," continued Professor White, "to
popularize debating before down
town clubs and civic organizations,

BASEBALL TOURNEY
STARTS APRIL 23
Co-Eds Must Enter Teams by 5
O'clock Tuesday; Phi Ma Won
Title Last Season
Co-ed baseball fans will soon have
an opportunity to watch thebr ogress
of their favorite teams in the intra

ril 23. Any group on the campus
may enter the tournament and those
wishing to do so are asked to sign
up on the intra-mural bulletin board
before 5 o'clock Tuesday afternoon,
Apirl 17.
Last year the majority of sororities
and dormitories entered one or more
teams each and Phi Mu won the title.
More interest has always been evi
denced in baseball than in any other
co-ed sport and prospects are bright
for a successful season this spring.
Week of Practice
Baseballs and bats may be secured
from the office of the departments
of physical education for women.
There will be a whole week of prac
tice during which the competing
teams can get into shape before the
tourney starts. Groups are urged to
bring the matter up for discussion in
their Monday night meetings.
Prizes for the groups winning the
most points in intra-mural sports are
now being chosen. A large silven
shield will be awarded the group with
the most points and either a smaller
shield or a loving cup will be given
to the runner up.
