will be eliminated within the next
few weeks, said Professor Cross, and
those remaining will appear before
the State committee for a second
elimination. Out of those selected by
the University committee and, in ad-
dition, students who have applied for
scholarships in Michigan who do not
attend the University, the State com-
mittee will-choose two to come before
the regional committee in January
when final eliminations will be held.
Five other staues besides Michigan'
-Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio,
and Kentucky -will have represen-
tatives applying for the scholarships,
making a total of :12 finalists. The
regional committee will appoint four
men from this number as Rhodes

coaches in attendance, one of the rea-

the same question in preparation for
the competition of the Michigan High

bating in the University of Detroit,
stated to Mr. James H. McBurney, in
charge of debating at the University,

The contest will be followed by an
open forum discussion in which ques-
tions from the floor will be in order,
both on the subject matter on the
debate and on matters relating to
public speaking and technique.
McBurney To Speak
As a part of the program, Mr. Mc-
Burney will give a 15 minute talk
on the subject, "What Makes a Good
