HAMMOND
READY FOR
BIG DEBATE

After listening to the arguments of
the Hammond high school team which
will debate the South Bend high school
team at the Methodist church, in Ham
mond tomorrow night at o'clock
Judge Becker, Prof Henderson director
of vocational training in the Hammond
schools, and Rev Adams of the Bap-
tist church said--Judge Becker: II
think South Bend will not merely bend
hut bFeak stasNs sz
Prof. Henderson: 81 have heard many
high school debates. but I nave never
heard a team that could out-debate the
Hammond team. In fact. 1 have heard
only one team that could have given
the local team hard ight-a team
from Fond du Lac, Wis"
Rev. Adams: The best high school
team l have ever listened to-
The question now uppermost in the
thoughts of the students and faculty
of the high school is. Will Hammond
wind the debate? South Bend has been
winning everything this year. Last
fall. Hammond's crack football team
went down to defeat before the rushes
of South Bend. A week ago South
Bend won a first in the Northern In
diana oratorical contest and also first
is, Is South Bend to win again? South
Bend is confident of her ability to re-
move the remainder of the local schools
scalp. Hammond is sure that the local
team is capable of giving the visitors
the fight of their lives. They believe
that if South Bend wins she will know
she has had real battle. The debate,
in other words. will be a fight to the
finish.
That the students are not too opti-
mistic about their team is the opinion
of citizens of Hammond who have heard
them. Monday afternoon Judge Law
renee Becker, Prof. Henderson and Rev.
Adams debated the team. They were
surprised at the remarkable grasp of
the subject shown by the schools de-
bators.
Several hundred tickets are already
in the hands of the students, and the
ticket sale Is being pushed.
The city officials of Hammond have
been invited as special guests, as the
question concerns better municipal gov
ernment Altogether the debate prom
lists to be an occasion of more than
school interest.
