HARVARD DOWNS YALE IN DEBATE ON NEW DEAL

DANSER, RABENOLD, SULLIVAN ARE HARVARD SPEAKERS

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Meriden, Conn., Dec. 9--Harvard defeated Yale last night in a debate on the question: "Resolved, That the Roosevelt Administration deserves the confidence of the people." Harvard took the negative side.

Second Debate of Series

This debate was a follow-up on the one held with Yale at Waterbury, Connecticut on Wednesday, November 20. In the first debate Harvard took the affirmative.

Harold W. Danser '37, the first Harvard speaker, undertook to prove that the financial policies of the New Deal are unsound. Following him, Ellwood M. Rabenold '37 discussed the A.A.A., the N.R.A., and the vacillating nature of Roosevelt's policies.

"Boondoggling" Charged

A. Gilman Sullivan '36, vice-president of the Debating Council, wound up for Harvard, attacking what he termed "the boondoggling policies of the present administration."

The Yale speakers were Eek Lund, D. V. McNamee, and R. V. Tennant.
