1931 Winger Oliver SUMMARY OF THE SEASON The debate season of 1931 was the most successful in the history of Pacific. Under the direction of Professor Carlyn R. Winger of the Depart- ment of Speech the squad was able to win an overwhelming majority of debates. The men have participated in about seventeen debates during the season, and have won from the strongest schools in the Northwest. Oliver, Hummel, and Gabbert covered Washington, Oregon and Idaho in one of the best organized trips ever conducted by Pacific University, gaining a favorable decision in five out of seven debates. University of Idaho, W. S. C. and Whitman were among those defeated by Pacific. The University of Washington and C. P. S. also lost to our men earlier in the year. In addition to the trip there was a very complete and successful home schedule. The whole season was a supreme compliment to Dean Winger ' s tactics of conversational delivery and extempore presentation. Seventy-nine I
