WILL NOT DEBATE WITH ASHLAND

At a meeting yesterday afternoon, the University Debating Council decided that it will be impossible to accept the challenge of Ashland College, Ashland, Ohio, to a debate this year by means of wireless telephone or radiophone. The council felt that in view of the approaching triangular debate with Yale and Princeton and especially due to lack of efficient sending apparatus in the University such a debate would be impracticable. It is altogether probable that by another year, the suggestion will be put into effect, and they by using a powerful radio station in Boston or by additions to the equipment of the University it will be possible to hold debates in the future with some of the larger colleges and universities of the West and Middle West, especially with Leland Stanford or the University or Washington.
