'44 Drops Debate To Yale, Tops Princeton

In a closely-contested debate last night in the Union, the Freshman debating team defeated Princeton, taking the affirmative stand in a discussion of "Compulsory arbitration of labor disputes in time of war." Yale defeated the Yardlings in a debate on the same topic at New Haven, with the Freshmen on the negative side.

At the Union meeting, Louis H. Pollak '44 was awarded the annual Union Committee prize for the best try-out speech of the year, although Pollak was actually debating Yale at the time of the award.

Members of the team debating Princeton were Freshmen Charles Wolf, Jr.; Sheldon K. Beren; and Thomas S. Kuhn. Those who debated against Yale were Theodore S. Baer; William V. Suckle; and Louis H. Pollak. Caspar Weinberger '33, 3L; Arthur Maass, Littauer Fellow; and James Nelson, instructor in English, acted as judges in the Princeton debate.
