tai.

bate on the affirmative for Medford.
Leroy Ashcraft was first Ashland
speaker for the negative. The other
affirmative speakers were Elbert
Hubbard and Charles Lundberg.
Robert Spencer and Kenneth Lilly
were the other members of the Ash
land team. Prof. Shafer of the Uni
versity of Oregon, Judge Calkins OF
Medford and Prof. Ager of Talent
acted as judges.
Prof. Moore expressed himself as
