MAKE-UP OF DEBATING TEAMS

The final make-up of the University triangular debating teams was decided last night. The affirmative team, which will debate with Yale at New Haven, consists of E. R. Adams '14, J. Bovingdon '15, H. Epstein '16, and P. L. Sayre '16; and the negative team, which will meet Princeton here, is composed of L. Brewer 3L., B. H. Knollenberg 1L., F. Stern 3L., and R. L. West '14. As was the case last year, the affirmative team is composed entirely of young undergraduates with little former experience, while the negative team is almost wholly composed of graduates who have had long experience, R. L. West '14 being the only undergraduate on it. However; it is not to be assumed that the immaturity of the younger team will prove a weakness, for each man has shown marked ability, Bovingdon and Epstein having won Pasteur medals, Sayre a Coolidge Prize, and Adams having made a creditable record at Knox College. The alternates will be selected tonight, and from now until March 27, the day of the contest, the coaches will devote their attention solely to putting on the finishing touches to the preparation for the debate.
