Ship Subsidy Debate

According to the judges who had
the painful duty last Thursday even
ing of deciding the debate at the
high school when three representa-
tives from the normal debated a
team of an equal number from M.
& M. high, the ship subsidy which
is before congress is not the thing
for the country. The subject was
for and against the ship subsidy, as
per the Presidents recommenda
ton. The high school represented
the affirmative and the normal the
negative. Those on the formers
team were Bernhard Mercer, How
ard Bird and Hugh James Dona-
hue; the negative lineup: Roy APP
pleman, VIM. Embree and Maurice
Graham. The debate was decided
on subject matter and delivery, re-
buttal, and team work. While won
by the normal there were but
mighty few points difference, and
every speaker did exceedingly well,
which showed that they had spent
much time in posting up on the sub
ject. The high school orchestra
furnished music, and very large
crowd was present.
Recently the question as to
whether the French were justified
in their advance into the Ruhr val
ley was debated by picked teams
from the high school. The decision
was in favor of the French. These
debates while splendid practice for
those who take part, are also ex-
ceedingly interesting to those who

Hoffman, Tannery Not Sold

that the Hoffman, tannery has been

ly false, as Mr.. Hoffman, stated
when interviewed in the matter.
but he added "that he wished it was
So" While he wants to sell, and
prefers to sell it as tannery, he
plans if it is not sold, to close out
the business in any event. The con
dition of the tannery industry in
general Mr.. Hoffman, says, is not
good, and his has not been for the
past three years, due in no small
measure to high taxes, and big ex-
pense in general in running the bus
mess.
Many rumors are afioat to the eff
feet that Mr.. Geo. T. Hoffman,, the
manager of the tannery, is selling
out in order to enter some other line
of activity. He states positively
that If the tannery is sold, he will
not go into any other active line of
business. At present the tannery
employs about dozen and a half
men.

With bette~ than a two to one

bled the strong, lofty advertised
Newark Heizeys here Wednesday
night. The game began rather un-
Interestingly. During most of the
first half the Wagoneers plugged
along at not their usual speed, how
ever, leading with number of
points, up till about the close of the
first half, when the Heizeys gained
several, ending the first half with a
lead of points-12 to 16.
The second half started with
Newark playing strong, looping two
fields and tying the score-16 all.
1t looked for time like the New
ark tossers had found themselves
and prospects were splendid for a
good close, fast game. But while
the visitors were finding themselves,
so were the mule SINNERS, and very
shortly they broke loose with their
usual old time speed, looping count
ers from almost every angle and po-
sition, and rapidly increasing their
lead. The Newarkers had nice floor
work, and clever passes, but fell
down badly in their basket shoot

player for Wagon Co., making "a
