Besides this the present prize is the
first thing of it's kind which has ever

NH|TMAN'S DEBATING TRIO GAINS MORE
LAURELS IN CLOSE BATTLE WITH PACIFIC

Because of the cleverness of Whit
mans mastery constructive argument
and the superior manner in which her
speakers presented it, the local college
won the votes of all three judges in
the intercollegiate debate with Paci-
fic university held in the Memorial
chapel yesterday evening.
That the debate was close, peril
ously close, even the most eager par
tizan of the missionaries will not deny
and many there were who held their
breaths during that awful three min
utes when the votes of the judges were
being collected because they feared
that the mammoth accumulation of
facts piled up by the lads from Web
foot would win the day. When Chair
man O. S. Jones announced the de-
cision a sigh of relief went around the
Walla Walla audience and after the
pause of moment pandemonium
broke loose and Whitman students
yelled like fiends as they clambered
over benches and upon the platform
to grasp the hands of their champions
Wolfe. Greenslade and Livengood.
Pacific argued the question mainly
on the dollar basis while Whitman
succeeded in planting her banner on
the moral eminence of defending the
perpetuity of American institutions.
and so won.
The palm of victory went to Whit
man solely through greater skill in

railway question is far superior from
a debating point of view was evident
to the veriest tyro that sat in the au-
dience but the missionary orators used
what facts they had so skillfully that
they made the inferior strategic posi-
ton appear to be the stronger side.

But there were times when things
looked dark for Whitman especially
when Warde made his formidable
showing of the dangers of municipal

manner in one of the best speeches
of the evening. When he got through
