Don iLC The team succeeded in receiving a second place trophy in the senior division sweepstakes, behind the winning Centennial team by only a few points. Ashland's debate team of 1958 was the last team to be as successful as this year's team by achieving a second place in senior division sweepstakes. Places, but no trophies Winners in various events included Jeff McCollum, second in oratory, Cathy Riffe and Alice Dale, second in oxford debate, and Kris Keil and Kathy Hill, third in oxford debate. None of these winners packed home trophies, as only first place trophies were awarded at the tournament. Semifinalists included Jim Work in oratory, Bruce Lorber in humerous interpretation, and Dave Galati in extemporaneous. Subject to an omnipotent iysltin of putfails -i!!:-d "in breaks," Ahsland suffered a shutout in the junior division at the tournament. A grand total of 22 debaters, chaperoned by Lewis and his wife left Ashland for Forest Grove Thursday, Dec. 5, for the two day tournament. Words of wisdom Reflecting on the team's success at the tourney, coach Lewis said: "The team did better than I figured they would. The tournament has a total of only 12 trophies and over 1,000 competitors going for them. Each school puts their top competition in each event, so it's tough to place. We usually consider Pacific as more of a learning tournament than one we win at." The remaining tournaments for Ashland this year include Southern Oregon College in Ashland, Linfield College in McMinville, and possibly Lewis and Clark College. CALENDAR OF EVENTS FR1.
