NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The University debating team will close its season tonight, when it engages with Yale and Princeton in a triangular debate on the question: "Resolved, That this house favors the governmental policies of Mussolini."

The negative team, composed of A. F. Reel '28, president of the debating council, Brooks Olis '29, and C. C. Alpern '28, left last night for Princeton, while the Yale team will arrive at 3.30 o'clock this afternoon to meet the University affirmative team tonight at 8.15 o'clock in Paine Hall.

V. K. Kwong '29, A. L. Raffa ocC., and J. M. Swigert '30 will uphold the affirmative for the University. T. N. Stensland '28 will be an alternate. T. I. Emerson, J. J. B. McCulloch, and W. W. Miller Jr., with W. S. Gaud Jr. as alternate, will make up the Yale team.

Professor R. C. Givler '14 A.M., professor of Psychology at Tufts College, will act as chairman. The judges have been chosen as follows: H. R. Wiles '14 S. B., instructor in Public Speaking at Country Day School, and W. L. Locke, of Stone and Webster, Incorporated.

The Italian Council and several prominent Italian business and professional men will attend the debate this evening.

Last year the University team won a unanimous vote over Princeton and tied with Yale.

Two years ago the University team, considered one of the best in Harvard's debating history, arguing on the question, "Resolved, That education is the curse of the present age," defeated Yale, obtaining the unanimous vote of three judges.
