DEBATING AWARDS GO TO GILL, MARKS

Richard T. Gill '48 and Albet J. Marks, Jr. '47 have been awarded the two annual Coolidge Debating Parises, Dean Buck announced last night, as the Debate Council finished the season with a defeat by Yale Saturday evening in the Lowell House Junior Common Room.

Gill, Marks, and Arthur D. Sporn '47 defended a losing negative case in the question of compulsory military training. This debate, following a loss the previous week to Princeton on the affirmative side of the same question, gives the Crimson last place, for the second successive year, in the annual H--Y--P triangular debates, which were swept by Princeton for the fourth time in a row.

Judges Frederick C. Packard '20, associate professor of Public speaking, Donald C. Williams, associate professor of Philosophy, and State Senator Edward Rowe, rendered a two-to-one decision favoring the visiting Eli team.
