KANSAS DEBATERS BEATEN
Nebraska Team Gets a Unanimous De
cision over Southern Opponents
Thursday Evening.
, , The last great interpollegiate debate
was held In the university chapel
Thursday of last week. This was one
of the most satisfactory contests of the
season. It was a clear victory for Ne
braska, though Kansas did good work.
The question discussed was whether
the growth of large corporations was a
menace to democratic institutions, and
the subject was handled with ability.
The debaters were well prepared and
touched the real substance of the issue.
Nebraska had the affirmative and was
represented hy a. L. Deal, Miss An-
