New Haven, Conn, Dec, Ala few
weeks ago Yale received a challenge
from the University OF Wisconsin TO
engage In an intercollegiate debate.
The matter was considered by tho Of
f,oers OF the Yale union after the re-
cent debate at Princeton and the de-
baters In that contest were invited to
give their views. Last night a confer
ence was held of the joint debate COM
mittee and advisors In the faculty and
although some of those present took a
favorable view OF II, the matter was
finally disposed of by writing
to the Wisconsin institution
that tho offer must be
declined on the ground that three such
contests in the course OF the year
would prove too great q struia on the
debaters. and the contest could not be
handled to advantage for other rea-
sons, Moreover, II might be regarded
rs establishing u precedent. and this
the Yale union officers did not feel like
doing II IL felt that to prepare FOR an
er-collegiate debate Is too much Of
strain to expect the best material Ia
the university to come into cosnpeti-
ton for the honor more than twice, as
in the contests with Princeton and with
Harvard. Besides those reasons, the
coaches, who have for tho past three
years prepared the debaters, say 1t
would be quite impossible for them TO
add another to the number OF contests
