STATE CHAMPIONSHIP IN DEBATE

hence the debate at Eugene Friday
night was final battle between east
ern and western Oregon for the state
championship.

duced down to two, Pendleton hav-
ing won championship in the eastern
Oregon and Columbia river districts,
and Grants Pass, who had won cham
pionships In southern Oregon, Will
lamette valley and Coos bay districts.
Thus Pendleton and Grants Pass as
represented by the two best teams in
the state next for final debate at Bu-

The Pendleton team was doubtless
the strongest team met by the loca
