A POLITICAL DEBATE
Students Roosevelt Club Will

Best Debaters Of the University Will
Be On Either Side and the Contest
Promises to Be a Warm one-There

Meeting.
,ecial to Times-Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City, Oct. Interpretations
for the coming debate between Ted
dy's Hawkeyes' and the Wade Club,
whose members are drawn from the
student body of the state university OF
Iowa, are progressing rapidly. and the
members of the two debating teams
have been chosen by the respective
clubs. The members OF the republican
debating team are j. o. Johnson, Of
Cedar Falls, a noted orator in uni
versity circles; E. r. Walker. OF DEL
vein, Iowa, and B. r. Perkins. OF Bur-
lington, both of whom have had con-
siderable experience in university de-
batting work. The team that will rep
resent the Wade Club is composed Of
Ray Files, Of Iowa City. a member OF
last years debating team, that met
Minnesota, and the leader of that team
this year; J. T. Vaughn, Of TT. Dodge,
senior law student, and A. Shanna-
han, who has represented the uni
versity in two inter-university be-
bates.
This debate will be one Of the most
remarkable ever held by any OF the
student organizations at the state un-
iyersity Of Iowa. 1t is to be practically
extemporaneous as 1t will be held
within the next few days. and the
members of the debating teams will
have little time to prepare for the con-
test. There will be no judges Of the
contest, because it was found prac-
tically impossible to agree upon the
men who should so act. The debate
will be held in the armory and it Is
now proposed that the expenses of
the debate shall be paid by the repub-
lican and democratic central commit
tees.

Special to Times Republican,
Iowa City, Oct. 26.-Fully believing
that the big Ames game, which will
virtually decide the championship of
the state of Iowa. can be as effectually
won from the side lines as it can on the
field, the students of the State Univer-
sity of Iowa will tomorrow hold great
nass meeting in order to learn the
yells and songs that will be sprung on
the agriculturists. The novel feature OF

which the members of the team declare
was won by efforts of the engineer
ing STUDENTS. This is taken as an
ausplcious omen by the superstitious
students who are hoping against hope
that Iowa may be able to win from the
heavy Ames team. The crowd will
probably be the largest seen on the
Iowa grounds this year. Big delega-
tions are coming from Burlington Dav-
export. Cedar Rapids and Des Moines,
as well as the 900 students from Ames.
The Iowa students are hardly conf
dent but they are very hopeful. There
will be more betting on the present
oopfoct y,,r hah]v than env other game
played in the state this year and 1T Is
whispered that the Ames sports are
coming over to the Athens Of Iowa with
more of the long green than is safe to
carry around in the benighted state.
The Iowa supporters intend to back
Tie team lii orally, however, and 1t Is
probable that several thousand dollars
will be avagered on the result.
