    TEE HESPERIAN
U. B, D, C, See
Net Friday evening, October the 30th,
the Union Boys Debating Club will cel
ebrate their decennial anniversary, hav
ing already enjoyed a decade of unbroken
existence. This auxiliary of Union So
ciety has kept the "sacred fires" of debate
burning with ever-increasing glow. Sis
ter club after sister club has risen, en
joyed an ephemeral existence, and died.
Tuis club alone has lived and increased
in numbers and in efficiency. From it,
all the other like organizations in our
university have sprung. Within its
ranks was first fostered the spirit of joint
debate. To its aggressive policy is due
a long series of successful intercollegiate
debates, and in its inspiration the pres
ent University Debating Association
traces its birth.
Union Society has adjourned in honor
of the celebration. All other literary
organizations and fraternities are most
cordially invited to be present. The
tact that Chancellor MacLean and Ros
coo Pound are to deliver the anniversary
addresses insures the scholarly character
of the program. The following is the
program for the evening.

Thorpe won the toss and immediately
scattered his me'i out over the west end of
the Held. Doane kicked olf for thirty yards
and Thorpe took cure of the bal', but Nebraska
soon lost it on downs. Doane then tried it a
while but got tired and turned it over to us.
It soon went back again on downs. A couple of
bucks for nothing and then Wolf carries it
ten yards but is tackled nicely by Packard.
Doane soon fumbles and Pearse falls on the
ball. Thorpe tries His punt, the ends having
fallen back to be on side. Wiggins gets
there in time to tackle his man in his tracks.
Three downs, Nebraska's ball, and some most
terrific bucking takes place. We make five,
seven, three, five, four, naught, five, one, three,
one, one. and Doane takes the ball within
four yards of their goal. They make a few
yards and then punt for about fifteen and a
Doane man getf it. A few more yards and
another punt for twenty and Thorpe thinks
he wants it. Shedd makes some big gains
by bucking and then Cook runs around right
end for fifteen yards and a touch-down. Shedd
kicks goal six to naught.
Doane kicks off for forty yards, Shedd nabs
it neatly and takes it back sixteen. A few
good bucks and Turner takes the ball and
stretches out on the ground making some
thing over two yards. ' A few small gains
and Shedd thinks he would like about twenty
four yards and of course he takes 'em.
Thorpe punts with ends on side. Jones gets
ball, bus is ruled off side by Vandoozer. Jones
is hurt but goes at it again. We make a few
yards. Jones is hurt again and goes out,
Benedict taking his place. Ball changes
hands two or three times, punts are exchanged
and Che ball finally dies at four o'clock. Score
six to nothing.
THE SECOND HALF.
Nebraska kicks off thirty yards, Doane
takes the ball but loses ground. Punts for
thirty and Thorpe takes it back half way.
Doane soon gets it again and tries bucking.
Not much gain, and a punt sails over into
Thorpe's arms but he isn't allowed to get out
of his tracks. Turner falls over the line
again for four yards and Serf breaks his shoe.
At it agaMi), llobbins gets the ball on a
fumble and Tnorpe punts, Serf catches but
in requested to stop by Wiggins. Then
Doane tries the criss-cross but Shedd and
Pearse know a thing or two about that play
themselves, and as they want it stopped, it
