Preparation for the Harvard-Brown-Wesleyan triangular debate began last night with the retention of eight men following the first trials in which five minute speeches were presented on either side of the question: "Resolved, That all nations abandon their extra-territorial right in China."
C. C. Alpern '28, D. I. Cooke '31, R. F. Courtney '29, W. E. Esher '31, L. T. Grimm '29, A. L. Raffa ocC, Saul Rosenzweig '29, and R. C. Weaver '29, were retained.
Another trial, open to all members of the University in good standing, will be held next Friday at 4 o'clock in the New Lecture Hall. The coaches are making an effort to procure Chinese students in the University as speakers on either side of the question, and the second trials are being given with this in view, it was announced.
Work done in the coming debate is important in determining the teams which will meet Yale and Princeton, and in the conferring of the Coolidge Prize, awarded to the best Harvard speaker in the Yale debate.
