The debate last night between w. A.
G. and Montana teams resulted in vic
tory for our boys. The debate was
strong one, the visitors putting up
strong line of argument, and the success
of the home team is therefore all the
more creditable. The question was

Goned ?" The affirmative was discussed
by Messrs. Brislawn, Hooker and Kreag-
er for w. A. c., the supporters of the
negative for Montana being Messrs. Har-

Master Clarence Harvey has started
out as a naturalist early in life, and one
day this week announced to his mother
the discovery of a new specimen in bug
dom. investigation brought to light an
insect that Mr.. Harvey thought re-
sembled the centipede of warmer climes,
and it was sent to the proper depart
ment at the college for Identification.
There it was pronounced one of the
dreaded centipedes. The presence of
the stranger in Pullman is accounted for
probably through its importation with
a bunch OF bananas, of which fruit Mr..
Harvey is a liberal purchaser. Had
Master Clarence Investigated his discov-
cry too closely, there might have been a
different story TO tell.
