The Alma negative debaters jour
neyed over to Holland. where they met
Hopes strong affirmative team. The
Holland contestants had debated the af-
ffrmative side OF this question several
times this year in public and on each
occasion won the decision of the judges,
so they were confident as we'll as compe-
tent in handling their case. The debate
was holly contested from start to finish.
While Hope may have had shade the
better Of the argument all the way, the
Alma men fought hard and established
some telling points.
Clarence Dame opened the case for the
affirmative by proving that it is the func-
ton of the city TO own and operate its
public franchises. He cited definite ex-
amples of how municipal ownership bet
tered living and social conditions. Leon
Kolvoord started the work for Alma by
showing that city problems depend upon
local conditions, and what would be good
for one city may not be beneficial for
another. Also maintained that munich
palities could not secure experts. He
further argued that municipal manage
ment is costlier than private ownership.
Gerritt Denote continued the argument
of the Hollanders by maintaining that
cities must eliminate the corruption of
private ownership. He argued that po-
litical bosses bribed the alderman for
private ownership. Claud Satterlee
brought out the faults of municipal oper.
alton, its inefficency and lack of initia-
tive, by showing that this system abroad
was very ineffective. Harry Hoffs closed
the affirmative construction by showing
the dangers of private ownership of pub
lie utilities. Josiah Buell. confined his
speech mainly to showing that street
railways rs a large public utility cannot
be successfully handled in this country
under municipal ownership.
In rebuttals Kolvoord for Alma and
Dame for Hope made strong summaries
for their respective sides. The Hope
men had powerful delivery but Dame
was probably their strongest constructive
debster 1t would be hard to say which
of Alma's men we're most effective, but
Buell., who is a freshman, showed that
he has a future in the debating line.
Every Alma man deserves gret credit
! for his consistent work

CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
A DUMPING GROUkD FOR
JAIL-BIRDS.
BY A. w. MACY.

Prior to the revolution Eng
land used the American colo
MES as a dumpine-ground for
her undesirable citizens. II is
estimated that between 1717 and
1875 not less than $4,000 con-
victs, of all kinds and Of both
sexes. were taken from the jails
Of Great Britain and Ireland and
transported TO the American
colonies, where they we're con
demned to hard labor and hired
out to tho settlers. The Mary
lane colony suffered most from
the affliotion, 10000 or more Of
the jaiI-birds being sent there.
Sone Of them, however, had
been convicted Of slight offerses,
and were easily transformed in
20 good citizens Of the new
world.

Upton READY TO RACE
IF RULES ARE CHANGED

NEW YORK, Oct 14.-Sir Thomas
Upton, who arrived by the steamer
Caronia yesterday. said he proposed to
discuss with the New York Yacht club
officials terms under which he might
challenge for the international yacht
ing trophy which he has thrice vainly
tried to lift
Il am always ready to challenge"
said the Englishman, and if the New
York Yacht club would modify the rule
requiring the challenging boat to cross
the Atlantic on its own bottom, | be-
liece | could build boat to hold her
own with any American built boat of
the same type, style and weight If |
built a freak boat and sail her across,
they will build a lighter one here to
beat me. There is no sport in that
Sir Thomas said if he built another
challenger he would name her the
Shamrock ". He said he had won %
out of 90 races in which he had COM
peted in European waters. Yachting
as a pastime in England is falling off, -
he said, but in Germany it is beCom
ing more and more popular. AT Kiel

ever Witnessed, with as many as 1873
boats in one race"

SECRET PRACTICE FOR

NASHVILLE, TENN. Oct 14-Secret
practice has begun a Vanderbilt in prep

Saturday.
Coach McGugin has never followed the
Eastern practice of waiting to the last
month of the season to bring his team up
to its fighting edge, and this year more
than ever he is pushing matters on ac-
count of the fact that one OF his hardest
games comes so early in the season

Condition and Experience Will Count Game
ATHENIANS HAVE CHANCE FOR SOUTHERN TITLE

CONSIDERING first the matter
of experience, the Vanderbilt
team this year is made up pretty
largely of old material. Some of
the names that are new to the or
binary football fans are names of
men who for two or three years
have been playing on scrub teams
or as substitutes on the varsity.
Those who are absolutely new at
Vanderbilt have all had a slather
of prep school training.
McGugin has a team that is al
ready made.
Now, take Georgia: Coach Cum
bingham this year had about the
largest amount of first class mate
rial, physically and of potential
playing possibility, that has ever
fallen to the lot of Southern
coach. At the same time there isn't
anything quite so difficult to whip
into team as a slather of UNI
trained men. For instance, he
might nave i've men who seem
ideally fitted to play the center po-
sition. Yet not one of the five is
ready to jump in and play a pol
lshed game at the position, So five
good candidates aren't half as use
full, especially for an early game,
as one trained performer For the
closing game of the season Gun
bingham should have a well trained
team. Whether or not it is posi-
be to get one ready for a game at
the middle of October remains to
be demonstrated. If he doesn't, it
IS no discredit. If he does. he will
have performed one of the most re-
markable feats ever accomplished
