Metcalf Debate For Ninety Minutes 2,000 OR MORE FILL PULLEN AUDITORIUM Audience Consists of Raleigh Church . Goers and SUte . College Students By BROCK BARKLET RALEIGH. May 17. Divine and scientist met in combat at State col leg this afternoon and before a crowd that jammed Pullen hall fought for' Lmlnutes over diverging contentions as io the origin ot man and the evolution of matter: Who won, the scribes at the ringside would not venture to say. The J)(bt was hot. and both claimed victory with support from their partisans liberal and enthusiastic, but what the great audience, composed of State college students and RaleUrh churchgoers, gleaned from the heated and ridiculing discussion of religious and scientific contentions is too difficult of estimate. In the absence of a capable superior to sit in judgment. A real right it was. A minister or the gospel and an Instructor of youths pitted against each other. On the one side was Rev. W.- B. Riley, D. D.. pastor of the First Bap tist chureh of Minneapolis.' author, of numerous text-books on religious sub jects and a recognized authority on the Bible. . On the opposite aide was Dr. Z, P. Metcalf. professor of soology and ento mology at State college and a member of a half dozen eclentiflc societies of national and world-wide prominence. "Resolved, that evolution is a demon strated fact.-was the query. an4 if perhaps, neither stuck any too cloae to the subject, both gave to their audience a mass of contentions and declarations that were, to say the least, highly Uf j lumlnatlng- The audience was almost as interest ing within itself as the discussion. Most of It was on hand half an hour before the advertised hour for the con test to begin, seeking assurance of a seat and full view of the whole affair.
