MICHIGAN TRIO GETS DECISION OVERCHICAGO Judges are Unanimous in Opinion; Home Debaters Outclass Oppoieints at Almost Every Stage. TEAM AT NORTHWESTERN IS )EFEATED BY 2 TO 1 VOTE. Total Points Give Michigan First Place in Central De- bating League. Michigan won the Central Debating League championship for 1913 last night, the standing being: Michigan, 4 judges; Northwestern 3 judges; and Chicago 2 judges. The affirmative teams won at home in every contest on the proposition of Congressional adoption of the Nation- al Monetary Commission plan of bank- ing reform. Michigan defeated Chica- go unanimously in University Hall, lost to Northwestern at Evanston by a 2 to 1 decision, and Chicago defeat- ed Northwestern in Chicago by the same count. "Michigan unanimously," announced Gov. Ferris last night, at the conclu- sion of one of the most interesting debates ever held in University Hall. The Chicago men, as their coach ex- plained, based their chances upon one point--and lost. Michigan on the oth- er hand, had four major points, and met the chief point of their opponents with seven arguments. All of the men are to be commend- ed upon their excellent work, but the logical, forceful, and perfectly pre- sented arguments of Paul Blanshard stood out from all the others. For Chicago, Conrad was the most effect- ive speaker; and there is no question as to why he led the Colgate Univer- sity team three times. The result at Northwestern was somewhat of a surprise, as a victory was expected. All of the men on the negative team are debaters of inter- collegiate experience, while the home team was unexperienced in such work. The fact that the affirmative team won in all three of the league contests, however, is significant in showing that the question might have been a more happily chosen one. The only comment in the telegram to the Daily from Prof. Hollister was that the contest was a most excellent one, and that the Michigan men did excep- tionally well at the home of their op- ponents. The men spoke in the following or- der, Michigan, having the affirmative, starting: Lyman S. Hlbert, '14L; W- A. Hamman,''14L; Bartel J. Jonkman, '14L; P. K. Cook, '15; Paul B.

The corridors of the Baltimore hos- pital were lined with people when "Bos" Gage, '11E, former leader of the mandolin club started strumming up his instrument and struck up that heart stirring melody "The Victots." Seldom does that indefinable quality, Michigan spirit manifest itself as well as in this little example. Gage, who is practicing his profession in Balti- more heard that his former dean was ill in that city and after chasing all over town, located him in the Johns Hopkins hospital, and the above in- oident occurred.
