NOTRE DAME OPENS DEBATING SEASON Affirmative a n d Negative Teams in Preliminary Skirmish at St. MaryY The varsity debating teams of Notre pa me engaged in a hot preliminary skirmish at Ft. Mary's yesterday afternoon, which the aifirmative won. 11 to 10. It was closely fought throughout, as the decision of the judges indicates. Members of the class in political economy made the decision?. Th- question debated was the same as that which will be discussed In the Indiana Collegiate Debating league this w inter, "Resolved, that the principle cf th closed shop is justifiable." The negativ tram easily had the i better of the oratory, but th cas of th affirmative was practically ironbound, and it stood firm fgainst th determined assaults of Rhomberg. Gallagher and Hogan, the members of th negative team. In rebuttals, the two teams broke even, and the superiority of the affirmative'? case was undoubtedly the de-idins factor of the contest. Rev. William Holger, director cf debating, seemed pleased at the performance and expressed hi? belief that tho team? wore ready nt the present moment to meet any in the country. The first contest.? will b held on Friday night with Valparaiso nnd Wabash. During the time that remains, Father Holser plans to prime, the two teams with further plans for rebuttals. More importance lsattaehed to the Wabash deat than to th other, because of the fact that Wabash defeated Nrdr Dame last winter nnd is planning to do so again x i t li the same tear i. The negative team will be worked brder therefore in preparation tor the (oming debate? than the affirmative. It is not expected that Valparaiso will l.e dangerous. "Valpo" gave Notre Panic a good debate last winter, however, and the team will have to Aork steadily to Min. POINT OUT VALUE OF ORGANIZATION Hepresciitativc .
