HE four stale institutions have been on most intimate relations in debate for over a quarter of a century and the present debate coaches are prima- rily responsible for the pleasant relations existing between the collegs. All y of th coaches have brilliant records and have produced some fine debate teams. During the last few years the system of intercollegiate non-decision debating has taken place between Beloit, Carroll, Lawrence, and Ripon colleges. Teams from these institutions have been sent out and have clashed on the platform hefor high school audiences. As a result of this type of debating highly argumentative debate teams have been developed. Mr. Rasweiler of Beloit has long been affiliated with the southern state college .md has produced some excellent debate combinations. In the field of oratory and debating the Beloit representatives have been comparable to any in the state. Mr. Uttzinger, who is at the helm of the forensic field at Carroll is a newcomer in the state debate circles. His work this year has been especially oustanding in oratory and extemporaneous. Pa jf 9

Commissioner Shattuck Coach R. K. Jaggard jb THLETICS hits united the state college more than any other intercollegi' ate activity. The pleasant relationships and friendships which football, basketball and track has brought about is justification of intercollegiate conferences. The recent organization of the Big Four conference has resulted in the establish' ment of a more elevated conception of athletics. It has produced true sportsmanship to both the winner and loser m an athletic clash. It has been really due to the efforts of Mr. Shattuck and the four athletic directors that this feeling has been brought about. The Big FOui in the past two years has successfully progressed under the admin- istration of Sports Commissioner Shattuck of Ncenah. He is the arbitrator between the coaches and the selector of the officials for the intercollegiate. Mr. Shattuck has been chosen foi this position because of his interest in athletics and good sportsmanship. Coach R. K. Jaggard of Beloit, working under severe handicaps, assumed the ath- letic helm and produced athletic teams comparable to the other institutions. Beloit athletics through the work of Coach Jaggard have been thoroughly revised and with the adoption of a new system tlu southern college stands high among the best. Page 11
