Debate Cfutf
Discusses Penalty
At the Debate Club meeting last
Wednesday, ft very Interesting do bate
was held. Iloy Fle.thman and Yudath
Victor debated the affirmative on
the following: 'itesolved, Cnpltal
Puulbhment Should Be Abolished In
the United State," Carl Iiuum and
Carrol Price debated on tho negative
side.
The ma In points on the affirmative
sldu were: Capital punishment doosn't
hurt the person punished out does
hurt his family. We do not know
tljnt wo are punishing the right
portion, so we should not kill them
until we are sure and then life lm
prlronment Is much better.
The main points on the negative
side wore: That If a man takes one
man's life he should be punished
by having hla life taken. It la more
economical to kill the man than to
lt?t the state keep him :ur twenty
or fiility ycare.
Many other olnU were brought
out and tt could not be decided
whether capital punishment should
or should not be abolished, by the
audience.
the evening after a long ride.
Coach Woodie and the boys earned
a wonderful trip and hope to repeut

Dear Mr. Woodie:

SAN FRANCISCO tfV Walter
Christie, for more than three decades
track and field coach at the TJnfver

Pennsylvania filer, beat Ben Eastman
of Stanford three times in 1932,' but
In Christie's opinion Eastman Is still
the greatest quarter-mtler he has
ever acen.
Chribtle, now retired, blames R. L.
"Dink" Temple ton, Stanford conch,
for Eastman's letdown. He think tt
wna a plain case of an athlete being
overworked.
"The Eastman who raced In the
1932 Olympic games was not the
Eastman who raced for Stanford in
March and Ap-il when he broke the
wcrld's quarter-mile record,' Christie
declares.1 "That boy was overworked
long piactice during the wcck: and
then forced to lun two or three hard,
iftces tery SAf.irday. As a member of
the ten Franclrco Olymplc'chtb learn
this var I look for him to do great
things." '
A student who was planning on
entering a university came to hs tea
