FRESHMAN DEBATERS BREAK EVEN IN TRIANGULAR DEBATE

While the affirmative of the 1928 debating team was losing to Princeton in the Paine Concert Hall Saturday night, the negative defeated Yale at New Haven.

The negative won both the New Haven and Cambridge debates on the subject, "Resolved, That congressmen should be elected by proportional representation in the several States." The judges in both debates were unanimous in their decisions.

At New Haven the Harvard Freshmen supporting the negative, found a loop hole in the Yale arguments. A theoretical plan for proportional representation was brought forward by the Yale team. Because it lacked the sanction of authorities and a basis in previous practice the proposed plan fell before the Harvard attack.
