HITS PASS INS DEBATE Pendleton High School Lost Champion ot State at Eugene Yesterday. OPPONKNTS WIX BY TWO TO ONE DECISION Southern Oregon Trio Hud An Ad vantage On Account of Defending the Negative Side- of tlio Question Second Time Grants Pass Has Won Championship. (Special Correspondence.) University of Oregon, Eugene, Ore., June 3. By a two to one decision, the debating team of Pendleton high school lost the champlonhlp of the state and the regents' cup last night In the final contest with the team representing Grants Pass high school. The question debated was "Resolved, That national conservation of naturaf resources is superior to state conser vation,"., with Pendleton upholding the affirmative. The southern Oregon trio had an advantage in that they had defend ed the affirmative side of the ques tion In two previous debates while the affirmative side had never been supported by the eastern Oregon boys before. During the whode debating season, the affirmative of this ques tion hns never been given a decision. The Pendleton boys put up a mast erful debate and there were many who were of the opinion that they should have had the decision but the votes show that the judges were them selves divided. The feature of the debate was the rebuttal of Hartwell, the Pendleton leader, and many thought his closing argument clinch ed the debate for the affirmative The Judges of the contest were Ray Goodrich, a banker of Eugene: Prof. Berger of the U. of O.. and Mr. Brown of the Eugene Y. M. C. -. Th s is the second time Grants Pass has won the championship, hav ing won from Pendleton two years ago also, and the school is now en titled to permanent possession of the handsome silver cup presented by the regents of the University.
