I STATE DEBATE TITLE Defeats Auburn in Final Round on Question of Jury System. WINNERS GIVEN TROPHY Jackson high school won the slate high school debating tourna ment over Auburn Saturday morn ing and the trophy offered by the Nebraska Bar association when they proved that the present jury system and criminal trials in the United States should be abolished. Tbe decision was unanimous for the winners. Jackson and Auburn went into the final round of the tourney by virtue of their defeats over Beat rice and Hastings, respectively, in the semifinals Friday night. The Jackson team claimed the jury .sys tem is undesirable, inefficient and declared that there was a more de sirable means of securing justice in criminal prosecutions, in prc tenting their reasons for abolition of jury and criminal trials. Suggests Remedy. They proposed in place of the present .system, a jury of three or five judges, nominated by the su preme court or elected by the peo ple and subject to recall. They showed, during the course ot their argument, that sixty-seven profes sions are automatically excused from Jury service. This, they claimed, has lowered the quality of Jurors. Because of corrupt judges and legislatures the jury is an absolute necessity, declared the Auburn de baters. They showed that the jury is called upon to decide upon fact alone and insisted that the jury is an essential part of democracy and basically sound and efficient. Mrs. M. D. Thompson coached the Jackson team which was made up of Eugene Pester, Myron Bickel and Woodrow Magec. The Auburn team was composed of Beth Lang ford. Ruth Penney and Marshall Howe. Richardson Presents Trophy. Prof. Enid Miller of Nebraska Wesleyan, C. L. Clark, attorney, and Prof. J. O. Rankin. University of Nebraska, were judges for the final debate. Ths trophy was pre sented by Arthur W. Richardson of tbe Nebraska Bar association, who also presided over the debate. The summary of tbe debate tour nament follows: llntl Rinntf. Ailliurn 2.

Campus Themv Song Of Laxt Few Days 'Singing in the liaiii' The theme song beard on tbe campus tbe last few days seems to be "Singing in the Rain" as the bedraggled students wend their weary way from one class to an other, vainly attempting to dodge all the raindrops possible. The only redeeming feature tbe incle ment weather offers Is the oppor tunity for tbe students to display new and startling innovations in slickers bedecked with scenic ef fects that would cause Jacob of Biblical fame to turn green with envy and sell bis lamed cloak to some somatic buyer of old clothes. State Meteorologist Thomas A. Blair refuses to allow the suffer ing public a glimmer of hope for the next few days with cloudy weather and possible rain rep"rted for to?ay and Monday. Small hopes are held for a successful Ivy day if the gentle pattering of rain does not cease within a reasonable length of time.

J University of Nebraska L APPLAUDS FINAL IE1 McCleerys Presentation of Clever Plot Appreciated By Last Night Crowd. CHILES, EASTON STAR Red Young. 'Flying' Athlete Actor, Handles Lead in Fine Style. Playing to an audience which was filled with enthusiasm and which responded with hearty ap plause or laughter, the cast of i "Sob Sister" three act musical comedy presented the final show ing of a three night run In the Temple last night. "Sob Sister" was written by Bill McCleery. Joyce Ayres. George Cook and Warren Chiles, and was given under the sponsorship of the University of Nebraska Kosmet Klub. Manuscript was by Mc Cleery. who also wrote "Don't Be Silly" given by the club last year, and music was by Ay res, Cook and Chiles, with several of the lyrics by McCleery. Last night's audience was both large and appreciative and proved its appreciation by its response. McCleery's witty handling of an unusual plot seemed to strike Lome and the result was almost con tinuous laughter and applause from the opening curtain till the orchestra sounded the closing notes. Doris Powell, '30. Lincoln, in the leading female part of Mary Smith, was eNcellent. Her solo numbers were well received and her acting is claimed to be a.s good as that of a professional. Bob Y'oung, '31, Norfolk, well known as a Huskcr halfback, was good in his role of Bob, convict in San Menquin peni tentiary. The scream of the show, rather tbe two screams, were Warren Chiles, '30, San Diego, as Bentiie, another convict, and Harlan Eas ton, '31, Havclock. as a guard in the prison. Both Chiles and Eas ton played their parts in true com edy style and brought forth one laugh after another from the audi ence. Chiles' witty remarks and Kaaton's characterization of a sleepy, not overly bright guard, brought down the house. Doris Hosman. '30, Omaha, as Misa Caroline Shedd. sob sister, did a nice bit of characterization and succeeded in giving a good imperfonation of the real sob sister tvpe. Walter Yogt, '31, Aurora, as Virgil Shedd, ber brother and Bon's rival in love with Mary, did a fine piece of work which is de serving of commendation. OtVrs of the principal ch raclers who all were well fitted ior their parts and carried them thru nicely were Eleanor Foley. CO, Gothenburg, as Mrs. Smith, Mary's mother; Stan Icy Day, '31, Oshkosh, as the in spector"; Bernarr Wilson, '30, Omaha, as the warden; Lowell Davis, '31, Kearney, as assistant to the inspector; and the author, himself, as Lefty, an escaping con vict.
