KANSAS DEBATERS WILL GET PRIZES
DEBATING COUUNCIL NOW
MAKING ARRANGEMENTS.
First Preliminary Tryout for the Squad Will Be Held Friday, November 18.
The Debating Council, at a meeting held yesterday afternoon, decided to offer cash prizes to the men making the three University teams. A committeeee was appointed to make arrangements.
The first preliminary tryout for the squad from which the teams that are to contest Missouri, Oklahoma and Colorado next spring will be chosen, will be held in the lecture room of Green hall Friday evening at 7 o'clock, November 18.
Anyone and everyone in the University is invited to enter this tryout; each man will talk five minutes upon either side he may choose of the Missouri or Oklahoma questions. It is the wish of the Debating Council that a large number enter the first tryout and show their ability. The squad of sixteen men chosen at this tryout will be reduced to ten at the second tryout, which will be held December 3. The squad will be coached by Professor Gesell of the department of public speaking and the teams to represent the University, will be selected by him from the squad of ten.
The subject for the Missouri debate is: "Would it be advisable to apply minimum wage legislation to the field of sweated indus tries?" and the question with Oklahoma is, "Resolved, That the short ballot should be adopted in municipal, county and state elections."
COACHES STANDING PAT.
Still Maintain K. U. Should Have llad Touchdown.
Despite columns of arguments claims, and ridicule written by a sporting reporter in the Kansas City Star, the Kansas coaches are standing pat on their claim that Referee Masker should not have blown his whistle and prevented a touchdown for Kansas in the Nebraska game last Saturday. They await replies of Walter Camp and other authorities to whom they have written, confident that their claims will be borne out.
The Kansas City Star writer has brought out no new points in all that he has printed in his attempts to support Masker's decision. The chief claim made in a long article Tuesday night was the Kansas team did not deserve a touchdown, comparing their play with that of the Cornhuskers, which has no bearing whatever on the disputed touchdown. That Nebraska clearly outplayed Kansas no one in Lawrence will deny. In 1903, when Kansas outplayed Nebraska even worse than the Cornhuskers did the Jayhawkers Saturday, the Cornhuskers got away and made a touchdown. It would be fully as intelligent and just as fair to claim that Nebraska should not have had that touchdown because the Kansans did the better playing and showed themselves by a wide margin the superior team. The coaches make the present contention entirely on the matter of rules. Should Masker have blown his whistle? They claim that he should not, and show reasons for their claim.
The good judgment of the Kansas City Star critie can be attacked on an important ground. We'll dismiss the fact that he is a Nebraska man, and consider these other facts: For two years in succession he is said to have bet big money on Nebraska in the games with Kansas and, of course he lost. Then, in an attempt to cover his losses, he placed money on Kansas in the Thanksgiving game last year, and lost again. Naturally he does not feel particularly friendly toward Kansas and you can't blame him. But is it not fair to suppose that a man who went so far wrong on Missouri Valley football may be wrong in supporting Masker's decision? And again, isn't it plainly to be seen that he has a special and private interest in seeing Masker's decision stand?
TALKED ABOUT BUTTONS.
Holder of Vegetable Ivory Fellowship Explains His Work.
At the meeting of the Chemical club which was held in the chemistry building Wednesday evening, November 9, John P. Trickey gave an address on "The Vegetable Ivory Button Industry." Mr. Trickey is the holder of the H. K.ollston fellowship in vegetable ivory and his work has chiefly to do with the dying of the buttons.
Several samples of the vegetable ivory nuts were shown and the process of making the buttons at the factory was described. It is very difficult to color the buttons so that the same shade of color may be obtained twice in succession. This is the problem that Mr. Trickey is working on. The manufacturers call for buttons to match certain colored clothes and if the products sent prove satisfactory, they order other large consignments, which are hard to supply on account of the difficulty in coloring. The same shade can not be obtained a second time.
Mr. Trickey said that to obtain one gross of buttons of the same shade it is necessary to sort out several dozen more than the required number.
