FRESHMAN DEBATERS LOSE TO YALE AND PRINCETON

The Freshman debaters suffered a double defeat last Saturday night when Princeton gained a 2-1 decision over the 1926 Crimson team upholding the affirmative of the proposition "Resolved: That the United States should call together the powers signatory to the Versailles Treaty to consider revision of that Treaty", in Sanders Theatre, and when the Crimson team upholding the affirmative of the same question was unanimously defeated by Yale at New Haven. Although the decision of the judges favored Princeton, the Crimson speakers here gained the decision of the audience by a narrow margin.

The deciding factor in the winning of the debate for Princeton was probably the emphasis of the moral duty of America to interfere.

The 1926 men who spoke at New Haven were H. M. Davidson, A. D. Phillips, and P. G. Kirk. Their opponents of Yale were C. A. Moore, J. G. Becker, and J. A. Davenport. Those who spoke at Cambridge for the University were: H. M. Hart, F. S. Tupper, and J. W. Perkins, while J. R. McCullough, J. C. L. Waterman, and Barlow Henderson took the affirmative for Princeton.
