Bates Debating Tang|e
Still More Complicated.
Contests With LOT N. and Clark
College Are Announced.
Two Social Events Scheduled For
Friday at BoWdoln.

Lewiston, Me, Feb. 10.-(SpeciaD.-
The debating tangle at Bates is no"
more complicated than ever. Only two
of the three proposed intercollegiate
jCbates have really been decided upon.
The return debate with Clark College
VIII be held in Worcester Friday even
iLg. April "a. Clark viii submit tn"
question and as soon as it is rccc.r "
the Bates team will begin preparation.
The debate between the Sophomort
classes Of Bates and l.. of NJ. has also
been decided upon. This will be held
in Orono. The selection Of a new team
receives approval and doubtless this
will be done. This plan would do away
with the champion debate usually held
Commencement week and substitute
the Intercollegiate contest. The Soph-
Om0re championship debate Is general
ly poorly attended and only those di-
rectly interested ever become enthu-
siastic. BY alternating the plan of
holding it. this debate should be an at
trnctive feature Of Commencement
week. the method of selecting disput-
ants would require that the six men
chosen from the preliminary contests
should prepare debates on the pro-
posed question as received from L. Of
N. The three who prepared the best
debate would represent the class and
to the writer Of the best forensic for
the debate with L. of NJ. the 800 prize
would be given. This plan will I'M
doubleday be an expedient one for
Bates, for under the present arrange
n.ent the best debatcrs in the SOphO-
more class cannot enter the trials for
pare for the championship debate
Thus the team to debate Maine may
not be comprised of the best debaters
I'm the class. This plan will be submit
ted to Maine for her consideration. 1t
Is hoped she will act favorably on the
plan.
