State Defeats Swarthmore.
On Thursday evening, Dec. 14th,
our college debating team composed
of H. M. Broucher, G. W. Groff,
and C. R. Stahl won a victory
from the same Swarthmore team
which had won the champion
ship of the Penna. Inter-collegiate
League in 1904-5. The question
discussed was : Resolved that United
States Senators should be elected by
direct vote of the people ; the affir
mative being upheld by Slate and
the negative by Swarthmore. For
the debating of our opponents, Miss
Caroline Hadley, Amos Peaslee,
and A. L. Ryder, we have nothing
but praise; their delivery was ex
ceptionally good, and their argu
ments were logical and well pre
sented. It is to our own team, how
ever, that the highest praise is due.
Their arguments were delivered in a
straight-from-the-shoulder style that
won the favor of Judges and au
dience from start to finish. The
arguments were logic and unanswer
able ; they were built up upon each
other like the theorems of Geometry,
and the rebutal of our opponents
made little or no impression upon
them. On the other hand the re
butting of our own team was an at
tack upon the negative arguments
and showed careful preparation of
both sides of the question. _
The debate, which was held in the
Auditorium, was largely attended.
Professor Pattee acted as chairman
while the judges were as follows:
Dr. Becht, of Clarion Normal
School, Dr. Flickinger, of Lock
Haven Normal School, and Prof.
Pearson of the Wharton School of
Finance, U. of P. A very pleas
ing featuie was the playing of the
newly organized Banjo, Mandolin
and Guitar Club while the audience
was awaiting the decision of the
Judges.
