FRESHMAN DEBATERS WIN FROM PRINCETON TEAM

BEROLZHEIMER AND GRAY ARE JUDGES

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Arguing the negative side of the question, "Resolved, That Colleges should limit their attendance to those of superior mental ability," the negative Harvard 1934 debating team lost a 2 to 1 decision to the Yale trio at Hew Haven Friday evening while the Crimson affirmative team won a unanimous decision over its Princeton opponents Saturday night at Holden Chapel.

The Harvard negative team, composed of Milton Bornstein '34, George Gore '34, and T. E. Naughten '34 opposed the Eli trio of Knox, Harfield, and Hull in the Lampson Building, New Haven. vanBenschoten, a member of the Yale Debating Council presided over the meeting, while J. W. Berolzheimer, instructor in economics, and G. H. Gray, New Haven architect, acted a judges.

Yale Argues for Restriction

The Harvard trio asserted that it was not the province of the negative side to build up the case, outlined the impossibility of determining mental superiority, and stressed the disadvantages for average individuals resulting from restriction of education.

Announcement was made yesterday that all six of the Harvard debaters were to receive medals.
