...formed to play against one another. It is expected that R. H. E. Starr '96, H. A. L. Sand '95, and Captain Curry, of the Crescent team, will assist in coaching. The team this year has excellent prospects. A number of former members are eligible, and in the fall practice nearly fifty men came out. The fall practice of six weeks taught these new men the rudiments of the game, so that they may take up the spring work intelligently and vigorously...

...year the new custom was introduced, of arranging for each class a debate with some outside organization, in addition to the regular club debates. During the first week after the mid-years, a meeting will be held at which the Senior and Freshman teams who won the debates last fall will be presented with cups by the University Debating Club. At the same meeting gold medals will also be given to the winners of the recent Princeton debate. To the three sets of winners in the spring debates small cups appropriately designed will be given...
