ANNOUNCE DEBATING TEAMS

COOLIDGE PRIZE AWARDED DENNIS AS RESULT OF PRACTICE DEBATE.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

As a result of a practice debate held between members of the University debating squad, the teams which will represent the University against Yale and Princeton in the Triangular Debate a week from tonight were chosen. C. W. Phelps Unc., W. S. Holbrook, Jr. '21, and J. J. Tutun '20 will compose the affirmative team while S. B. Colby '21, B. H. Kuhns '22, and L. Dennis Occ. will support the negative. E. M. Anderson '21, B. F. Jones, Jr. '22 and L. E. Thomas '20 will act as alternates.

Dennis Awarded Coolidge Prize.

Lawrence Dennis Occ. of Washington, D. C., was announced winner of the Coolidge Debating Prize of $100, being judged the best speaker of those competing. The six speakers will be awarded gold medals and the alternates silver medals, at a banquet to be held later this season, as provided by the terms of the Coolidge bequest. The judges were Frderick G. White and Robert Winternitz, both of the English department of the University, and Julian H. Spitz '17.

Following the custom in former triangular debates the negative team of each university will debate at home, and the affirmative away. Princeton and the University will debate at Cambridge, Yale and the University at New Haven, and Yale and Princeton at Princeton. The university winning both debates will be awarded the championship.

This year's question, "Resolved, That Congress should adopt all measures necessary for the repression of all propaganda for the purpose of overthrowing the United States government is one much discussed at the present time. These debates are aimed to put both sides of the question fairly before university men.
