ter defaulting and allowing the de-
bate which Askov won from them In
the county contest to stand as a dis
trict victory.
The coaches, Vernon E. Anderson
of the negative team and Henry A.
Jensen of the affirmative team, have
spent considerable effort in bringing
their debaters through the first con-
tests of the season and just how far
they will go will depend largely upon
the first debate in the regional COM
petition when Mr.. Anderson's team
will go to Duluth some time during
next week, presumably about March 1.
This debate will be held in the Cen
trail high school auditorium against
the team representing that school and
the following debaters will make up
the team: Harry Jensen, Ellen Smidt
! and Edith Hansen. If this team gets
by Duluth with victory then it will
debate the winner of Districts q and
| % debate, which will be far into state
competition.
Askov's affirmative team is COM
posed of Gertrude Sandager, Ruth
Sorensen and Mildred Sandager and
is coached by Henry A. Jensen.
