coming year.
During the winter there are TO be two
. varsity debates one which is open 10 the
whole college and the other for Sopho-
nnores and Freshmen only. These con-
tests are intended both 10 arouse interest
among the undergraduates and 10 give the
sneakers practice in addressing large
audience.
There will be at least three joint de-
bates With other colleges during the win
ter and early spring. The first ana most
important will be that with Dartmouth.
This Is particularly interesting, not only
because the Hanover boys are Brown s
closest rivals but because II is the de-
Gliding contest of a series of five annual
debates Next comes the contest with
BOSTON College Strangely enough the
team from the Hub. although composed
OF graduate students who are studying
for the bar, has lost both previous de-
bates. The Brown boys. however. will
have 10 hustle IL they keep their record
unbroken. Finally. there will be another
Sophomore Freshman contest with Holy
Cross.

nament at some early date this fall to

There was a great deal Of disappoint-
ment among Brown men because ~ the
absence Of Emory. ~. the coach of the
Colby eleven. II seems that he was
called away from his duties because of a
Death I'm his family. For a week or
more Colby has been without any coach
which. perhaps. accounts for the poor
showing they made.
There Is one man whom the faculty
would mt allow IN play In the s'olhy
game He was nwver. His difficulties
