MEDFORD MATL TRIBUNE. MEDFOKD. OREGON. FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 15, 1935.
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.
With all teams tied at two wins
each, the choice of the winning team
rested entirely upon Professor Car-,
rell. 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.
No ill-fceltngs were expressed over
the decision and all schools wore ap
parently satisfied.

An oMetiCeisou. in "Coffee-Floating"
It WAS Major and Mrs.
McAllister's first real vacation in
years. The warming sun and the
world's clearest sea-water, at Elbow
Beach, were starting to make new
people of them again.
"Watch," said the Major. "Watch
carefully." 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."
