DEBATERS MEET TIGER, ELI SPEAKERS TONIGHT

NEW DEAL AFTER 1940 SUBJECT OF TRIANGULAR CONTEST

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

As host to the annual Harvard-Princeton debate, the Harvard Club of Boston is opening its doors to undergraduates tonight. Jack Orloff '41, James J. Pattee '41, and Langdon P. Marvin '41 will defend the New Deal before the Club, while Phil C. Neal '40, Paul W. Cherington '40, and Stanley O. Beren '41 are arguing the opposite side against a Yale team at New Haven.

H--Y--P debates are now traditional, with Harvard maintaining an edge in the long rivalry. Yale won the crown last year, taking it away from the Crimson debaters who had been victorious in 1938. Associated with the annual event is the awarding of the Coolidge Prizes, two each of $150, to the best Harvard speakers. Last year's winner was Neal, then President of the Debating Council.

Official wording of the subject is "Resolved, That this house is opposed to the continuance of the New Deal in control of the Federal administration after 1940." Personalities and foreign affairs can not be mentioned, but otherwise no holds are barred.
