DISTRICT DEBATE Three -Way Tie Between Mcdford, Ashland and Grants Pass Broken by Decision of Prof. Carrell By John Snider Upon the decision of the Judge, Professor James E. Carrell of the University of Oregon, tre Grants Pass High school debate team was awarded the district title last night.

Yesterday afternoon, the Mcd ford negative won the decision over the Grants pass affirmative but the. Mcdford affirmative lost to the; Grants pass negative here last night. I Elimination debates between Ash-! land, Mcdford, and Grants pass have been held for the past three days In . all three cities. In each case, the neg ative tenms have been victorious over the affirmative tenms. The question debated wax: "Resolved: That the federal gov ernment should adopt a policy of equalizing educational opportunities In the united States by means of an nual grants to the several states." Billy Bromley and John Hayman were members of the the Grants Pass negative which defeated the Mcdford affirmative last night. Members of the Medford affirmative were Carro llne Cook and Jeanette Thatcher, The decision, according to Judge Carrell, was given to the Grants Pass squad because of their debating skill and been use the two members of the negative team were excellently palr-i ed. Oeorge Hall of Ashland waa rated as the best speaker, Mr. Carrell also stated that the Grants Pass team was ' chosen because they had the two de-' Waters that would most likely go the farthest In the state elimination con- i tests. "The Medford teams have possibili ties for future development and the eases presented by Mcdford were more logical than those offered by the other teams," stated Mr. Carrell shortly after the Grants Pass -Mcdford debate. "We started out with practically Inexperienced people and I consider ed all the way around that they did very well," said Rex. E. Robinson, Medford coach.

He spread -his arms and lay on the water, face to the sun. "This is floating. Notice that I don't seem to be getting anywhere. I want yovi to remember this little demonstra tion. It's like coffee floating. You hop "Watch," lad th Major around from brand to brand, paring a few pennies, and you don't make a bit of progress. "When we get home, let's give up the floating business and stick to Hills Bros. Coffee. I wouldn't care if it cost twice as much which, of course, it doesn't. But I know its steady, better flavor is worth more than the extra penny or so." "left stick to Hills Bros. Coffee" 1? rTnUXM
