I-""' ' ' Coming out from two defeats at the hands of Busby Fork in practice debates, the Roxboro High School debating team profited by its mistakes and after a couple of deliberations and relentless work defeated its own opponents in the state triangular debating contest being held at present ' under tfie auspices of the University of JJorth Carolina, the subject of debate being. ^Resolved that the *lnter-Allied War debt Should be Can- ~ celled." ' 0 The long anticipated day on: which !1 the debates were to be held rolled around on Friday. A team composed'a of Eugene Thompson and RoKnnnah 1 Yancey journeyed to Oxford where, j after good speeches and h'ot rebuttals'' on each side?- the decision was given 1 0 by-a unanimous-'vote of the judges lv to the Roxboro team, which upheld v the negative side of the question. However, the real test of the. local F combination came at 7:80 of the F same evening when Charles Woods v and Janie Burns met the - negative 0 team composed of Miss Thrall andi Mf7 Brown, from the Chapel Hill ' High School. The University center sc team had been well coached and show-. ' ed the results of deep and hard study s on the subject of inter-allied debts. * Tor an hour and a half the decision a hung in balance and at the end of the period to many observers it seem- y ed that the two teams were* so closely matched that a near tie would v have to be broken by a hair-splitting decision. And bo it was. Supt. A. B. * Stalvey who presided over the debate d read: Affirmative one, negative one," * and after a breathless suspence, affirmative two. Jubilation reigned in b the Roxboro cohorts and Charles c Woods and Janie Burns maintain witll h proof, if nece??ary, that they never v V-J W?J*, ,w-:_ 1 it lav ? un|>|/Ki UOJ ill UUCII riT*^.

Bushy Fork's Negative woH an outstanding-victory WVUTBU a iiWVl?-UtlO?mriJ{ owj- j veil's Affirmative .by a two ^rr.one decision. This victory is the m3re pleas-1 ing inasmuch as the . defeated team had beaten Oxford a few nights previous; furthermore one of the members of Stovall's 'team came in vote of participating in th% finals at Chapel Hill last year. 1 _ Bushy Fork's Affirmative, however, was not so successful, falling before Stem's Negative by a two to one decision, notwithstanding the fort, that Bushy TFork's team was ih better form and Stem's Negative weaker than Roxboro's Negative debated a few nights before.
