Debaters Place First In McGill Tournament

Four Harvard debaters dominated a 76-team field to sweep to first place in the McGill international Debating Tournament in Montreal last week.

Harvard entered an affirmative team of Danny J. Boggs '65, and Jack R. Norton '67, and a negative team of Frank White '66, and Laird C. Kirkpatrick '65, to debate the topic that "the enforcement of morals is no concern of the law."

After five rounds of preliminary debate, both Harvard teams were undefeated and had the highest scores in each division. But since the tournament officials did not want an all-Harvard finals, second place Hamilton replaced the Crimson affirmative team. Harvard's negative debaters then defeated Hamilton for the championship.
