abaters' Shine 7 ,4 At Middletown ; Terrific is the word for the Xavier debaters7 showing in the Middletown Invitational Tourna- ment on Saturday, January 26. Not expected to even place, the determined boys from Xavier ' came home from the tourney with a tie for second place. The undefeated negative team of Denny Doherty and Dick Zip- fel led the way by coming out with three Victories over the 5' host Middies, Columbus North, ' and Newark. Joe Foizenlogen and his part- ner Joe Wesselkamper, arguing for the much weaker affirmative stand on the problem, came through with one win in three debates to give the Xavier team its 4-2 record and a fine showing 3 against such good opposition. The E $ i g i E ? affirmative side is definitely weakened by the stand it is forced to take, yet the two Joes copped the needed win.
