DARTMOUTH EDITOR ANSWERS QUARTERBACK'S CHALLENGE

Hanover, January 5--The challenge issued by Robert McPhail, quarterback on the football squad last fall, to E. J. Duffy, editor in chief of the Dartmouth for a debate on the question of "whether the Dartmouth should voice opinions obviously in conflict with those of the college at large", will be answered editorially tomorrow.

The answer states that "the question as it stands is meaningless, and there is no particular point in discussing it". The question is worded completely by the football star is, "that the Dartmouth is performing a function which is distasteful to the undergraduate body when it voices opinions obviously in conflict with that of the college at large, and should pursue a policy more in concurrence with the sentiment of the undergraduate body".

If McPhail is willing to discuss his original contention that the Dartmouth has no right to state opinions in conflict with those of the majority of the undergraduates, the editor in chief will meet him on any terms he proposes. The statement in dispute was first made by McPhail in an address before the Freshman class in which he deplored the opinion of Duffy as expressed in the Dartmouth in relation to the football situation.
