Sirkar, a lean, scholarly-appearing fellow, admit ted he had been told to watch out for American debaters, who quoted many statistics and facts. The six colleges against which the' team competed prior to the Uni versity match didn't disappoint him. Chaturvedi described the de baters at Yale and Princeton as "quite reserved," with the team from St. Joseph's presenting the only "fiery arguments." Both In dians felt Yale was the most British of the American colleges they had visited. Political alertness is an out standing characteristic of the In dian students, Chaturvedi, presi dent of the Maharaja College un ion, said.

Sirkar, the theoretical member of the team, mentioned he had worked as a sub-editor of Eyran pat-, a philosophical magazine. His politics include applying com parative religion and Ghandism to international foreign policy. Al though Chaturvedi wholehearted ly agreed about the necessity of Ghandism in promoting peace, he denied that theory was sufficient when presiding over the 800 stu dents in his University Law Col lege Union. The debaters said India had average students similar to the American "Joe College."
