Los Angeles high school girls added

team captured the championship of

Will Tackle Debaters
When the Los Angeles high school
track team took the state championship
from the crack Oakland team the
northern boys were so surprised at the
prowess of the southern contingent that
they seemed anxious to meet them in
other lines, and the Oakland school

the local debaters would come north to
compete with them. Accordingly the
offer was accepted and last night
tryout was held at high school to select
the representatives to make the north
ern trip and try for the Oakland scalp.
High school has put strong team of
debaters into the field this year, but
the school lost the championship by
very few points. The boys are look
ing to the northern trip to regain their
lost standing by carrying off the hon.

After having won in the big inter-
scholastic debate of the season, when
eleven schols tried for championship
honors, high school orators will have
another opportunity to make a record
Friday night. A smaller oratorical con-
test In which four schools are entered
will be held at Polytechnic high school.
Jesse Land will represent the blue and
white.
