H-Y-P- DEBATERS AGREE TO USE INFORMAL ENGLISH STYLE

"General Wood and Philippine Independence" has been announced by the Debating Council as the subject for the Harvard-Yale-Princeton Freshman triangular debate, which will take place April 5. The exact wording of the question will be announced later.

The debaters of the three colleges have agreed to introduce at this year's University Triangular, on March 21, a form of debating new to American colleges. The old formality is to be greatly reduced in favor of the English style of speaking. Statistics and other equally uninteresting matter will be eliminated so far as seems practicable.

Tryouts for the 1927 team will be held tomorrow evening at 7 o'clock in Harvard 6. Candidates may speak for five minutes on either side of the question. Twelve men will be retained, and later trials will determine the nine men who will compose the final squad.
