thousand dollars for 324 head of fat
|steers is the snug sum realized this

There are now over 5000 head of
steers being fed in the Butter creek

WHITMAN WINS
TWO VICTORIES
DEBATING TEAMS EASILY DE-
FEAT WILLAMETTE AND PA
cIFIc UNIVERSITY.

In two overwhelming decisions,
Whitman's debating teams last night
won the victory in the triangular
league, defeating Willamette by a
unanimous decision at home and Pa
cifc university by a two to one vote
at Forest Grove.
The debate in the Whitman college
chapel last night was never in danger
for the home team from the opening
speech to the final rebuttal. The team
had their debate well in hand and put
up an argument that the negative were
entirely unprepared for. The question
was, in both debates, Resolved: That
the United States should continue to
admit the Japanese on the same basis
as European migrants" The negative
had expected to rebut an argument
favoring the admission of Japs. but
Whitman did not argue for that but
against it and for strict legislation for
European immigrants. many of whom
they said were no better than Japs.
Two speeches made by the negative
were granted. the local team winning
after admitting their arguments.
Fletcher, the leader of the Whitman
team was the star of the evening. His
logic was good and he is a clear
thinker and forceful rebutter. Crum-
baker in the opening speech opened the
hight we'll for the Missionaries and put
up case On the start that the visitors
were not able to break through. Lven-
good was the third man and put up a
remarkable debate. The meat of the af-
hrmativc argument was entrusted to
him and he handled it in good shape.
The negative speakers did we'll.
Till, being perhaps the best. thinner
man was also good but fell down on
rebuttal. Neuner was not so strong.
While this team was winning
unanimous decision at home, the other
team at Forest Grove, consisting OF
davenport, leader; Eells and R1gsby,
mad Won the other side of the same
question.
In winning the last debate by two

made five points out of a possible SIX.
