Last Cup Permanent Property
of Salem School
Seven or eight hundred people co
operated in the work of the state high
school debate league, which held its finals
in Eugene last week, says J. C. Almack.
director of the University extension bu
reau and secretary of the league.
“A feature of very great importance
in connection with the debates.” Mr.
Almack declared, “is the number of peo-1
pie who co-operated—it was a great co
operative enterprise.” There were five
members of the executive committee of
the debate league, Mr. Almack said; 12
directors, one for each district in the
state; 84 principals, superintendents, and
debate coaches, and not fewer than six
debaters from each school; 00 judges,
and about 20 different chairmen. In ad
dition to these were the librarians in the
state, county, and University libraries,
who prepared and supplied the reference
material. Hundreds of pieces of pjater
ial went sent out from these libraries.
Mr. Almack said.
Decision Not Reached.
Whether or not the high school de
bates will be held in Eugene next year
depends on the decision of the new sec
retary who will be chosen to take the
place of Mr. Almack during his year’s
leave of absence. A questionnaire has
been sent out to the principals of the
state high schools to gather information
in regard to the debates and to ask
their opinions on the present division
into districts, their suggestions for fu
ture subjects for debates, and advice as
to methods. The decision in regard to
next year’s debates, Mr. Almack says
will be so far as possible in accordance
with the wishes of the high schools.
The debate bulletin for next year will
be prepared earlier than usual, in order
to be in the hands of the principals at
the time of the opening of the schools
next. fall.
Trophy Is Given.
A cup, trophy for the next series of
debates, is offered by Professor E. E.
TleCou, says Mr. Almack. The cup won
by Salem in this year’s series is the per
manent property of the Sajem high
school, winner three times of debate
Clips.
A trophy known as the “Regents’ Cup”
was offered by the state regents from
1007 to 1011, and is now the possession
of the Grants Pass high school. The
“University of Oregon Cup.” offered first
in 1011, to become the permanent prop
erty of the school winning it three times,
is that won by Salem.
“The debates were unusually success
ful this year,” Mr. Almack said. “There
were more schools competing than ever
before, 84 having taken part, the largest
number before being 7(5. A number of
smaller high schools were in the first
debates, nnd four of these were district
winners. The outstanding feature about
the debates,” Mr. Almack declared, “was
the co-operation nnd the spirit shown by
all those who had anything to do with
the debates.”
Strange Presents Cup.
A. C. Strange, head of the executive
committee of the debate league and pres
ident of the league, presented the cup at
the ceremonies is after the final debates.
Professor E. E. DeOou reviewed in an
address, the history of debating in Ore
gon. President Campbell spoke, dwelling
principally on the advantages and pur
poses of debates, and the importance of
trained public speakers as moulders of
public opinion. Other speakers on the
program were Penn Colin V. Dyment
and C. W. Boetticher, last year's presi
dent of the debate league.

colors,” lie explained, “were to be pro
sented to the cadets at noon of a certain
day by the governor of tho state and
Mrs. (lerlinger and were to be blessed
by the bishop. The night before this
ceremony the work of making the regi
mental colors had not even been started
What, did wo do? We got those colors
on time the next day. Fifty girls volun
teered for the task and worked all
night. Tn the morning they had the job
completed.”
Referring to his battalion of student
soldiers, the proud ex-commander de
clared that never in any regiment of the
many in all parts of the world in which
he had served did be find a more loyal
and willing body of men than in the cam
pus units.
“We called ourselves the ragged army
at the start.” laughed the 0. O. “The
boys bad to wear khaki overalls—no uni
forms to be had; and rifles -we had to
steal them from all over the state; we
j even went beyond the state limits in
search of equipment.” Failing to define
his methods in securing the necessary
firearms, the colonel vividly described
the fierce battles that took place over
beyond the edge of the campus. “There
was more hard fighting there than at
Gettysburg.” he added, “but the effort
was worth while; every cadet in the out
fit soldiered and made good, and those
who went on for further training at the
officers’ training camps were a credit to
the University and placed high in the
“rmy.”
