LONGHORN DEBATORS
MEET QUAKER TEAM
AUSTIN Tex. April 16.—(4»)—
Ed Gossett of Post and Otis Rogers
of Canadian outstanding Texas Uni-
versity debaters tonight at Philadel-
phia will debate Pennsylvania Uni-
versity's team. This contest will be
the first of one of the most ambitious
programs arranged for any Texas
University team athletic or other-
wise.
Saturday night the Longhorn de-
baters will oppose Columbia (Jnivor-
sity at New York and Tuesday they
will meet the Dartmouth College
speakers at Hanover N. H.
In each debate the Texans will up-
hold the affirmative of “Resolved.
That Congress adopt Colonel Mitch-
ell’s Plan for a single department of
national defense with equal branches
of army navy and air.”
In three debates in which they have
worked together Gossett and Rogers
have the unusual record of not re-
ceiving the unfavorable vote of a
single judge. On their eastern inva-
sion the Longhorn debaters will seek
to equal the record made in 1921 by
Judson Francis and Jack Blalock who
in New York City defeated Columbia
University three votes to none.
