DEBATING SQUAD TO HOLD TRIALS FOR OXFORD MEET

Final Choice Will Be Made Today by Faculty Judges of Team to Argue in Symphony Hall Debate

This afternoon at 4.30 o'clock in Harvard 6, the University debating squad will have its final trials before the Oxford debate on October 16. The team of three speakers and two alternates will be picked by three members of the Faculty who will act as judges.

D. W. Chapman '27, President of the Debating Council, will choose the judges this morning. After today's trials the debating team will face a week of intensive practice before meeting the Oxonians at Symphony Hall.

In perpetuation of a tradition handed on from the first debate, Governor Alvan T. Fuller will preside at the international, intercollegiate debate. In 1922 ex-Governor McCall took the chair in the absence of Governor Cox; the next year at the second debate Governor Cox himself acted as president and this year Governor Fuller will keep up the tradition.
