The question “Resolved that United States and Great Britain Should form an Alliance” was discussed five times by Beloit debaters in the course of the year. The first debate took place at Belleville, on November 19. Although the debates were not judged, the Beloit squad gained valuable experience. Then Beloit went to Lincoln on December 8 for a practice debate and Lincoln came to Beloit on January 5. On January 21, Beloit’s squad participated in a tournament debate at Lebanon which included a huge territory of schools with the boundaries being Lincoln on the south, Hastings, Nebraska on the north, Concordia on the east, and Russell on the west. Two weeks later on February 6, Lebanon came to Beloit for a practice debate. The Grand Climax of the debate season came on February 11, at the Clay Center League Tournament at which Junction City won and Beloit tied with Clay Center and Belleville for fourth place. PAGE 23
