DOINGS AT BROWN.
BroWn-Suacuse Debate 10 Take Place Next
Saturday-NOtes From the University,

The Brown-Sy Syracuse debate Is TO take
place next Saturday. May .. aud the
Brown team is therefore working early
and late on the question. whicn Is, "jte-
solved, That present tendencies OF trades
unions are nimical TO the welfare OF the
nation" Brown will uphold the mega
tive.
1t has proved difficult TO cover the
question, owing 10 it's indefinite charac-
ter, but both the first and second Brown
teams are studying hard to secure all
points that will be of service to their
side in the final debate.
Regular practice debates are being car
ried on and they ar proving very adVan-
tageous In rounding the work into shape.
Several professors have also assisted at
these trials and by their criticisms have
brought to light the weak points or the
argument The makeup OF the two
Brown teams is as followsj
First team-Percival Reginald Bake
man, 03. of Chelsea, Mass, captain;
George Blinn Francis Jr., O4, OF New
York city: Walter Everett Prince, 'o4,
OF Worcester Mass.
Second team-Henry Otis Green, 'O3, OF
Renrock, o., captain; Herbert Lee Sac
kett. '04. OF Smiths Mills, n. Y; Charles
Hadlai Hull, 'O5, OF New London, Conn.
The debate will be held at Syracuse this
year
Next Saturday night at Pembroke hall
the Komians will present "Pygmalion
and Galatea." The play is a mytho-
logical comedy I'm three acts and is fun
of action. The plot is woven about the
familiar Greek myth OF the statue which
came to llfe and abounds in amusing sit
uations caused by the innocence and lack
OF worldly wisdom of the restored statue,
Galatea. The statue comes 20 life dur
ing the absence of the sculptors wife,
whose return causes inevitable complica-
tions.
The cast Is as follows: Pygmallon, an
Athenian sculptor. Mabel Bartlett, '03;
Leucippe, n soldier, Hope Devenish, O6;
Chrysos an art patron, Flora Cotton,
'0l. Agesinos. Chrysos slave Mary Bren-
nan, 'O6; Meinos, Pygmalions slave.
Grace Sherwood. '06; Galatea, an ami
minated statue. Bertha Clark. '05; GYMS
ca. Pygmalion's wife, Helen Traver, 0S;
Daphne. Chrysos' wife, Alma Stockard,
'O3 Myrine. Pygmalions sister Henriet-
Ia Brazean, 'O6.
The cast is being trained by Professor
Crosby, which fact alone assures the sue
cess OF the play. and there Is no reason
why the performance need be any less
successful than that of last year Fol
lowing the play there will be informal
dancing.
Tomorrow is apt TO be a critical day
for the ball team, as the nine IL 10 play
Yale at New Haven. II they win to-
morrow they will probably be sure 10 play
a very successful season this year. II
! they lose and get discouraged the usual
slump may come. However with Hatch
| I'm the box and the whole nine playing in
| their accustomed places there Is no rea-
son why Brown should not win tomor-
row.
This Is an active season at Pembroke
/ hall, with something going on nearly all
/ the time. Last night was held theSopho-
more dance. which was largely attended,
/ and WAS n great success. Wednesday
