intercollegiate Delbaters Directed by Coach Elmore Borches and Dr. Foik, the St. Edward's debating teams of 1929-30 enjoyed an active season and closed the year with about an even score of victories and defeats. At this writing, the two teams have amassed three victories and three defeats, with one more debate yet on the schedule. The season was opend by Sulalc and Koegler, both third year men, against Simmons University. The St. Edwarcl's team, upholding the negative of the complete disarmament question, lost by a 3 to 0 decision. In the next debates, Sulak and Koegler vindicated themselves by winning unanimous decisions from at team representing Baylor University, at Our Lady of the Lake College in San Antonio, and another from McMurry College in Austin. Blackwell and Strauss, second and hrst year d e b a t e r s respectively, opened their series by losing a 3 to 0 decision to South West Texas Teachers College, at San Marcos, on the negative side of the disarmament question. The team then took a un- animous decision from Howard Payne College on the same question. The next debate by this team, held at Georgetown, was decided by a single judge in favor of Southwestern Uni- versity. In the closing debate, St. Edward's was represented by Sulak and Koegler in Vlfaxahachie against Trinity Uni- versity. This was the only debate in which St. Edward's defended the amrmative side of the disarmament question. Another debate to be held with Austin College was cancelled by the Sherman institution because of con- Hicting dates. Outer row: JOHN SULAK, ROLAND BLACKYVELL, COACH ELMORE BORCI-IES.
