THEY PUT UP A GOOD GAME
Some Very Crafty Playing Results In
Our Winning n Good Contest They
Hud More Beef, Hut Nebras
ka Was Tricky.
It has long been suspected that Nebras
ka's football luck rocs by fits and starts,
nd you enn't tell a thins: about what the
team Is going to do until they go and
do It Yesterday tho suspicion was vorl
tti, but tho surprise was a pleasant one.
Tou si'C, over In Iowa they havo nn agri
cultural college whero they teach tho as
piring rustics of tho state how to hoe
corn and husk pumpkins. These fellows
aren't expected to know how to play foot
ball. It takes gentlemen of learning In
tclcnco and classics to Handle thnt same,
tome think.
But they got up a team Just like tho
other Institutions this fall and have been
swiping everything- In sight. Out of eight
games they hn'c won seven. Well, yes
terday they camo over to Lincoln and
asked Chinccllor MacLcan If h'i boys
mightn't como out to M street park and
play with them a while. Thoy said they
would be easy with the boys and bo the
chancellor let 'em go.
It whs an awfully cold day and the
crowd whs small. But those who did go
witnessed the bent gnme of football that
has been played In Lincoln this season.
The score was, Nebraska 12, Ames 4.
Both teams were out on time and gy
rated about the field for a while to keep
warm. But while they were gyrating Or
lle Thorpe and the umpire and Mr. Wil
son of Ames were attending to the toss.
Orlte announced the fact that the ladies
hud always been kind, to him, even since
he was a child, and he would pin bis
faith to the smiling countentnee of the
goddess of liberty. The dollar twirled
In the air and when It lit there was the
soddess smiling up at Orlle Juxt like the
girls do when he comes out of a scrim
mace with his hair parted and laying as
neatly us If he was going to a Junior
"prom,"
Thorpe chose tho cant goal, for from a
hol in that corner of the fence he felt a
gentle Nebraska zephyr stealing across
the field.
At 3:20 by the town clock the farmer
kicked off. They seat the ball down the
field thirty-two yards nd made Nebraska
put It down right there. But Orlle Thorpe
liken to kick some himself, so by the a'.d
of the zephyr mentioned he sent the ball
sixty yards toward Ames pumpkin patch.
The furmers didn't play xery well for a
minute or two and Nebraska got the ball
on downt,. But Ames took It the same
way again before much advance was
made.
Amen played hard now and some Lin
coln people opened their eyes and won
dered If really these fellows were the
invincible which they bad heralded them
selves to be.
Just then tho bull went to Nebraska
on a forward pass and In about two sec
onds Nebraska had a touchdown. Tou

some pretty football playing was tho re

scoring of Nebraska's second touchdown.

No more scoring was done, but con
siderable more playing was und somn
very nlco playing. Packard played a fine
gamo In tho second half. Repeatedly ho
went through the Amen lino for five, sev
en and ten yards or more, when in tho
first half It seemed to be impervious. It
is needless to say Wiggins played well.
He always does. Corby did some good
tackling, though ho did not advance the
ball much. Oury played In the second
half and put up something resembling his
old game. He enjoyed the work, too.
The game was up at 5 and the ball was

playing great ball and more time would

Tho smallest crowd that has been at any
gamo this year was there yesterday, but
they saw the best game that has been
played In Lincoln since Kansas was here.
last fall. The game was clean and played
In a scientific and snappy manner from

ANOTHER WITH WESLEYAN.
Manager Oury has determined upon an
other game with Wesleyan. which Is to
be played Monday at the M street park.
Admission will be only twenty-five cents
thus enabling everylwdy to attend. The
gume was determined upon, to give our
team one good practice on offensive work
before the Iowa game. As was evident
from the Ames game, our offensive work
wus most wofully weak. Probably some
new tactics will b tried, and a final ef
fort made to bring our team to what It
should be. Since our last game, WoMey
an has been sawing wood, and will un
doubtedly give us a harder tussle. As
this will give those who cannot afford to
go to Omaha a chance to see another
game, it Is hoped that a good crowd will
attend, considering the low admission fee.
A GIFT FROM INDIA.
Word has been received from Jeypore,
India, that a set of the "Jeypore Port
folios of Architectural Details" will soon
be presented to the university of Nebras
ka on behalf of hiB royal highness, the
Maharajah of Jeypore. A limited number
of these portfolios are to be given by the
king of Jeypore to the public Institutions
of the world. Mark Twain, in his lec
turing tour through Jndla, noticed the
offer of the distribution of these .copies
and wrote a letter to the Critic regarding
them. Miss Jones, the librarian, read this
letter and Immediately applied. The pur
pose of the king is to preserve the "noble
.and gracious" .architecture of old India,
to give it into hunds .capable of enriching
newer worlds with it. He feels that the
circumstances which created it and made
it possible in India have passed away
and that there it could not be preserved.
These portfolios are a rich .gift to the
.architectural world.

OF NEBRASKA, LINCOLN,
PRELIMINARIES ARE HELD
The Eight Men aro Selected for the
Finals.
THE AUDIENCE WAS VERY SLIM
The
Preliminary Dobntes Are Flimiiv
Held Af'.er a Postponoment-Not
Much Interest was Manifest
ed Which Is Usuul.
The llrst of tho series of preliminary de
butes was held In the ehnpel Thurs.lnv
evening before a small audience. The
question wits: Resolved; that a court
should be established for the compulsory
arbitration of Inbor difficulties.
The spenkers on the affirmative were:
D. M. Gnrbcr, R. H. Graham nnd E. B.
Perry; negative, J. D. Denlson nnd C. M.
nnrr. Professors Possler,
Wolfe acted ns Judges.
Adams and
The affirmative wns opened by D. M.
Gnrber. who outlined tho Inbor problem of
today. He cited the recent Chicago strike
ns nn Illustration of the subjugntcd con
dition of Inbor. He believed compulsory
arbitration to be the only remedy.
The first speaker c, the negative J. D.
Denlson attempted to show that compul
sory arbitration was unconstitutional. "It
would take a standing army." he said "to
compel labor to submit to a scale of wages
fixed by a court of arbitration."
R. H. Graham followed. He said that
a court of arbitration Is better thnn nn
Industrlnl war. He quoted several pas
sages of law tending to show that compul
sory arbitration is constitutional.
C. M. Barr, the next sjenker. admlttel
tho deplorable condition of labor. He also
agreed with his opponents In that there
must be a remedy, and endeavored to
show that conciliators arbitration wns
much wore preferable to compulsion. He
advocated the plan already adopted by
some corporations, that of allowing a
board of labor representatives to arbi
trate with a similar representation of
these corporations.
E. B. Perry closed the argument by
showing that compulsory arbitration
would entirely do away with strikes, so
deplorable in this country- "Wherever
compulsory arbitration has been tried,"
he said, "it has proved thoroughly suc
cessful." The second and third divisions of the
debates were held Friday evening. The
Judges were on hand early but the audi
ence did not materialize very fast. At
8:20. Mr. O. H. Allen, announced the ques
tion for the second division: Resolved;
that universal manhood suffrage is true
in theory and best in practice for a rep
resentative government. The speakers on
the affirmative were. J. L. Dltmar and
D. L. Killen. Mr. F. G. Hawxby repre
sented the negative.
Mr. Ditmar spent most of his allotted
time to giving the definitions of the var
ious terms, manhood, suffrage and repre
sentative. He had not properly digested
his facts so that his debate was rather
confused. He failed to make his points
clear.
Owing to the withdrawal of many from
this division, Mr. Hawxby was obliged
to uphold his side of the case alone. He
has a rapid and lucid utterance and pre
sents his facts in good form. If author
ities count for anything he could produce
mom on his side of the question, such
men as Lalor, Thompson, Mill, and Wen
dell Phillips were quoted. He agreed with
the llrst Jeaker that the tirm manhood
embraces woman, but there was yet to
ilnd a nation which has intended unlim
ited suffrage to woman. It is against the
natural development of the household
woman should vote. He closed by point
ing out the danger from universal suf
frage which gives an opportunity for the
ignorant men to rule.
Mr. Killen then prootJd to show that
woman has advanced beyond that stage i
which Mr. Hawxby pictured. She is no
longer the woman who voluntarily chose
the duties of the household hut has de
veloped. He then showed that represen
tative government is the true one. by
historical reference. It it is denied that
ever- man ibould vote, then what quuli-J
flcations will be necessary? Shall they
be physical, moral, property, or educa
tional. The idea of woman tiuffrage is
growing. Mr. Killen has & good delivery
and produced tome good argument.
The third division had lor their ques
lion: Resolved that the United States
government jahould own and operate the
railroads within its boundaries.
The debaters ware: affirmative; J. A.
Maguire, J. R. Burleigh; negative; E. F.

not string nnd convincing, yet It was a
good effort.
Mr. Brlelgh mndc the point thnt the
people paid more money under the private
ownershli of railroads and received poorer
service. He pointed to the European
countries to substantiate his statements,
nnd quoted certain authorities In this
country. Some of his argument wns "ad

that the German railroads wero not ad

fort. He too, referred to the system In
Australia, comparing profits, management
and service. Mr. linger has a good ad
dress and acquitted himself well.
The third sjeaker on the afflrmative,
Mr. Green, closed the debate by proceed
ing to score the postal system of the Unit
ed States. He dwelt on the folly of spend
ing six billions of dollars to purchase the
railroads, and of having 823,000 govern
mental employes, with two millions of
persons dependent on them. His speech
was rapid and rather flowery for debate,
but containing some strong argument.
The fourth and last division of debaters
was heard Saturday evening. The ques
tion wns: Resolved; that the policy of
the United States should be to extend its
territory. The speakers were: Affirmative;
W. O. Ayer. G. E. Tobey and O. W. Meier;
negative; G. E. Kindler. F. L. Burt, R. S.
Baker and C. L. Shuff.
Mr. Burt opened for the affirmative. He
argued that the United States had a mor
al right to annex territory because inter
national law gives evry nation the right
of self preservation. Mr. Ayer was self
possessed, but he lacked force.
Mr. Kindler follower Mr. Ayer. The
sjeaker thought it Impossible to legis
late for people of different climatic con- '
ditions and social surroundings. He
thought the people of Canada did not de
mand the same legislation as the people
of Mexico. Mr. Kindler was very ani
mated. He spoke rapidly.
Mr. Tobey next spoke on the affirmative.
He held that It had not been wrong to
annex territory in the past and would not
be in the future. Mr. Tobey spoke from
manuscript and held the attention of his
audience with difficulty.
Mr. Burt of the negative, followed Mr.
Tobey. The speaker lold the audience
that it would not be wisdom for the United
Status to extend its dominion. That it
would be absurd jo think of the inhab
itants of Braril and Greenland running
around with American ballots in their
hands. Mr. Burt was very deliberate in
delivery.
Mr. Meier next ipoko on the affirmative.
He wild that he maait merely to defend
an established policy of the United States.
That new methodi of communication ana
inventions have inude it possible for more
people, than forneriy. io live under one
government- Mr. Meier was fluent and
belf posseBMd.
Mr. Baker defeided the negative point
of view. Mr. Baker thought the question
muist be argued from point of expediency
and practicality. "If we acquire more 1
territory." ald lhi speaker, "it will mean
people under the tame government with
different customs and .environment. A na
tion fcbould be an e:hlcal as well as a geo

Mr. Shuff also poke on the negative.
