Development of Harvard Teams.

Of the team that will represent the University in the debate with Yale, two are undergraduates, and of this team, H. B. Ehrmann '12 is the only man who has not before had experience on a college team. Of the two undergraduates on the team which will meet Princeton H. M. Potter '10 has had some experience in collegiate debating, while H. H. Breland '11 has not been on a college team before; J. DeM. Ellis 2L., the other speaker, has taken part in five intercollegiate debates. When the trials were completed and the men picked on February 22, they began their development by having debates with each other; on March 9, the teams were definitely selected and debates were then held on different nights with a practice team composed of the three alternates. The last practice debate was held in Sanders Theatre Saturday night. The strength of the two teams cannot be compar5ed as they argue opposite sides of the subject, but both are above the average of University teams in late years. Judge A. P. Stone '93, head coach, and assistant coach, E. R. Lewis '08 have had charge of the men.
