YALE VANQUISHES CRIMSON DEBATERS FOR H-Y-P TITLE

Phil C. Neal, Debating Council Head, Announced as Winner of Coolidge $10 Debating Prize

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Upsetting the Crimson debating team in the Littauer Center Auditorium, and at the same time downing Princeton's forensic representatives in a battle at New Haven, Yale last night became H-Y-P triangular debating champion.

The Crimson forces were not wholly humiliated, however, as the team which met Princeton on Nassan territory gained the sole unanimous decision awarded in the series.

Feature of the debate in Littauer was the award of this year's Coolidge Debating Prize of $100 to Phil C. Neal, President of the Harvard Debating Council.

In the Littauer contest, presided over by Kirtley F. Mather, Professor of Geology and Director of the Summer School, Harvard denied "That the United States should orient its foreign policy in vigorous opposition to the Fascist powers." Arguing that the right kind of neutrality will keep us out of war, Stanley O. Beren '41, Jack S. Orloff '41, and Donald McDonald '39 opposed victorious Yale-men Fritz J. Hopf '39, William P. Bundy '39, and Henry Kohn '39.

Questionnaires for the CRIMSON poll on tutoring schools will be distributed today and Sunday. Members of the CRIMSON will be in the House dining halls to collect the answered questionnaires.

Declaring Fascist policies to be incompatible with Western civilization, Yale-man Hopf began a bitter condemnation of Fascism only to be interrupted by a vehement pro-Nazi who sprang up shouting "That's not true!"

Debating at Princeton were Lawrence F. Ebb '39, Phil C. Neal '40, and Malcolm R. Wilkey '40. They barely made the debate on time, having first to settle an argument with the new Jersey State Police.
