v-.K T H E O W L W twenty-seven NEGATIVE DEBATING TEAM Top row, from left to right-Netta Barton, Mabel Wolfe . , Bottom row, from left to right-Carl Loar, Miss Jeffrey, Coach, Ellsworth Meeker The negative team composed of Netta Barton, Carl Loar, Ellsworth Meeker and Mabel Wolfe, alternate, met the afiirmative team of Berlin at Berlin on the same evening, unaccompanied by a corp of rooters on account of the debate at home. Substitution, was made necessary on our negative team on account of sickness. Although meeting a number of reverses they labored diligently on. The same thing can be said of our negative team and of the team at Berlin in regard to the preparing and delivery of their speeches as has been said of the teams mentioned before. The Sunbury team seemed to have the better arguments but lacked the necessary punch to put them across due to their .short period of training, while Miss Stevens of Berlin won the debate for her school in her last rebuttal speech, due to her effective style. The decision of the Judges was read by the Chairman, Attorney C. F. Meyer, 3-0 in favor of Berlin. The Judges were Messrs. Crist, and J. C. Lara- son of Delaware and Dr. Snavely of Otterbein.
