Inthe practices Monday the affirmative.team defeated the negative,' whichwas a surPrise since the negativeteam hid whipped the affirmative onSatUrday. Coach Atklns made thefollowing statement in regard to thecondition of the team: "I was especially pleased, with, the affirmativeteam last night and believe it. is readyfor the contest. The members �f thiSyear's teams have never been enteredin inter..eollegiate debate. All but onehowever, have had debating experience in high school or on Freshmanteams at the University.'An interesting feature this year isthe presence for the first time in thehistory of debate inthe University ofa woman on the team. Miss RoseLibman is the speaker who, holds thatdistinction. She presents competentargument, it is. reported. There 18also a woman on the Northwesternteam.'Graduates Excluded Now.This is the first year of wholly undergraduate debate. Heretofore de­bate was open to all, students and resuIted in almost wholly graduateteams. This did not stimulate undergraduate debate, nor did it representthe' colleges. This year the changewas made with the idea of revivingdebate in � the undergraduate body.The Michigan team wiIl be no easymark. Spirit for debate �s very highat Michigan and it is expected thatthere \"till be strong opposition. Thiswill be the first debate for the Michigan team also. Their team was defeated at the hands of Chicago last'year, but it later took the honorsfrom Illinois,Chideb and Forum will hold a combined meeting Thursday for the purpose of arousing enthusiasm for thedebate Friday.Dramatic Club Meets.---.A meeting of the Dramatic club ofspecial interest to members will beheld this afternoon at 3 :30 in Cobb12A.
