New Haven, Conn., December 9, 1904.--Before a very large audience in Woolsey Hall, Yale defeated Princeton tonight in the annual debate. The Yale team, which supported the affirmative of the question, "Resolved, That it should be the policy of the United States not to hold territory permanently unless with the purpose that it ultimately enjoy statehood," surpassed its opponents in both oratory and argument and presented a much clearer and better connected case. Both teams were inclined, however, to be somewhat flippant. The judges, Professor John Bassett Moore, LL.D., of Columbia University, Hon. Lucas F. C. Graven, Governor of Rhode Island, and Mr. A. Maurice Low, the Washington correspondent, were unanimous in their decision.
The winning team spoke in the following order: A. P. McKinstry '05, W. D. Myers '05 and C. L. Beede '06L. Princeton was represented by N. M. Thomas '05, J. L. Semple '05 and W. S. Davison '06.
