i w - Pendleton Trio
'( ;.rW' .. ...,..
Enterprise high school took a de
cisive step forward toward the state
debating championship when it defeat
ed Pendleton Saturday night. The
team had previously bested La
Grande and the championship of East
ern Oregon was determined at the
wheat town.
Pendleton March 30. By a two to
one vote of the judges, the Pendleton
high school debating team was Satur
day evening defeated in a joint debate
with Enterprise high and thus elini
inatcd from the state interscholastic
contest. Because of the past record
of the local school in " debate, the
news of the defeat came as a surprise
to those who did not attend and it
was no less of a surprise to many of
those who were present in the audi
torium when the decision was an
nounced. ' .
The Pendleton team, composed of
Clarence Bean and Earnest Crockatt,
supported the affirmative side of the
government ownership ' of railways
question, the visitors, Willard Lewis
and Harold Vinske, defending the
negative. From a standpoint of de
livery there was not much to choose
between the two teams out irom an
argumentative 'standpoint there were
many who considered that the Pendle
ton boys had decidedly me nest oi it.
However, the judges, Professor G. B.
Marquis, W. R. Davis and W.. II.
Bleakncy, all of Whitman College,
Walla Walla, or rather two of them
were of the opinion that the Enter
prise boys made a stronger showing.
Affirmative Argument
The local team submitted that rail
ways are monoDolistic in their nature
just as are light, power and water
services, because a . single company
can serve the community or comrau-
nities more economically, competition
meaning- duplication, of 'Equipment of Sec. 33 tp.2 N. B. 39 E. .W, M.
