Final Preliminary.
The final contest preliminary to the Kansas Nebraska debate was held Friday night in Frazier hall. Owing to several parties and dances and the lack of oratorical enthusiasm at Kansas University, but a small crowd was out. However, the crowd was as good as the contest deserved. Many of the speakers used a school-boy style which showed their inexperience in debate.
No one denies that the best men won. H. H.Tangeman won first place. He is a graduate of the Art school and is at present taking the law course. He, with Mr. Devlin, represented Snow literary society in the
debate. Mr. Devlin is a junior engineer He has been a member of the Snow for nearly three years. Mr. Runold, the other successful candidate, is a law student. He was one of the Adelphics' representatives.
Of the three winners Devlin has the most pleasing voice and more of the enthusiasm which carries conviction to his audience.
These three men will debate against Nebraska in Lawrence on Friday, March 1. Nebraska has defeated Kansas twice in succession, and Kansas' supporters are hoping for a chance for revenge.
The judges for the contest Friday night were Judge Alford, Mr. Rowlands, and the principal of Quincy school.
