Ward South worth, a former high school state champion and member of the squad last year, will! also again defend cardinal and gold colors. Of the new material, Glenn Stone-, man, varsity debater from Whit worth college of Tacoma, and Ralph Emmons, who' last year led a freshman varsity team at North western university, Evanston, 111., are among the most promising. In addition there are " two Oregon high school state champions of last year who are likely. to enter the tryouts.

IThe Cardinal 'debaters in the last three years have placed them selves in the foremost rank of collegiate debaters in the west. The trip taken last, year was the longest, ever attempted by a west ern. col!ege and its record of vic tories is almost without equal. Contracts have also been signed with Linfield and.
