The Shullburg and Cuba City
high schools have had contest in the
form of a debate. Cuba won, and the
Shullsburg people say it was not fair,
that they were trapped by designing
Cubans and betrayed by Galena
judges The question was on the

Court Clemens, Thos. Murray and
Anna Brewer; the Shullsburg debat-

Herbert Harker. The judges were
Prof Griffiths of Warren and Prof.
Harley and Mr.. Callahan of Galena.

this debate reminds one of the time
when Platteville and Lancaster used
to play baseball.
