Saturday evening when Lafayette
College was awarded a IL decision
over them, debating on the PROPOSE
ton "Resolved, That Congress
should have the power to pass q
measure over the veto of the Su-
preme Court by a two-thirds vote"
The debate on Saturday night with
the Pennsylvania College team was
one of the hottest contested that a
Colby debating team has ever en-
tered. The eveness of the argu-
ments on both sides was remarkable
and the rendering of the decision
apparently satisfied the large aud
fence which packed Memorial chap
ei to capacity. The members of the
Lafayette team had the good will of
the audience from the start and
their most excellent argumentative
work brought much applause
throughout the evening. The Colby
team worked in a highly compliment
tary manner and upheld their most
difficult side of the proposition in u
very creditable style.
Grant w. Nav Saun was the out
standing speaker for the Lafayette
team, which supported the negative
side of the question. although all of
the PENNSYLVANIA men were polished
orators and had excellent arguments.
For the local college debatcrs, Dom
aid L. Sprague was the best speaker
Especially in the rebuttal did the
Colby speaker show some excellent
speaking.
The negative Lafayette team was
composed of Grant w. Nav Saun, PC;
William r. Foulkes, OF: and Theo-
dore F.. Behler. ~. On the afTirma-
tive team which represented Colby,
were Donald +. Sprague. '2G. of

the chances for an early start on the
schedule appear to be good.
