...defence. Cutler got his plays off smoothly and with good speed, but was slightly outpunted by Thorpe. The substitution of fresh men in the backfield at critical moments proved more than successful, Leslie, Smith and Ver Wiebe all doing well.

...cannot arrange to save them for the philanthropic societies, we are led to resort to these parties from whom we can expect a slight return.

...fairness of this scheme is shown by the fact that, as each college must defend both sides of the question, there will be no reason for comment on the ground that one had to support the more difficult side of the proposition. It is, in addition, more expedient as it obviates the necessity of preparing for two separate debates in the same half-year. Furthermore, the invidious second team will be eliminated, thus enabling the six best debaters in each university to participate in the argument, whereas before only three men took part, the second team gaining little or nothing...
