Design for Debating Hy Rl)TH Collins To the steadily growing list of out door and indoor sports requiring nerve, brains, and endurance, I would add the game of contest debating. At first glance, this would seem a mild game, to lie ranked in the category of checkers and cross-word puzzles hut let me list a few of the requirements tor successful players. First of all, the contestant must lie practically all nerve, or she would never let herself be led into a situation where a debate is imminent a DEBATE, with worthy opponents, an imposing chairman, and ominous judges. The contestant must be a clever track er-downer of information, statistical and otherwise, since subjects for debates arc chosen from lists of topics on which not less than 50.000 volumes have been writ ten, not to mention cross references and annotated bibliographies AND GOV- ERN'M EXT DOCL'M EXTS. Having secured a card file full of as sorted information and a loose-leaf notc- Ixiok full of apt quotations and persuasive phrases the intrepid follower of this haz ardous sport must construct a speech, neatly fitted with a beginning, a middle, and an end; carefully checked so that it contradicts no fact or fancy in the sister speech of the worthy colleague; designed to dazzle the judges into an im mediate acceptance of its authoritative character; and guaranteed to baffle and benumb the opposition. So much for the brains. Willi her speech in hand, her informa tion fast fading out of her brain, and her hooks on the subject becoming over due at the library, the debater must have unlimited patience, for it is practically impossible to assemble four debaters, a chairman, and a set of judges at one lime and in one place. When, alter endless periods of wait ing, the speaker's turn comes, she must he as surefooted as a mountain goat, so as not to trip over the platform, her colleague, or the chairman, or the speaker's stand. Her speech given, she must appear to laugh heartily at her adversaries' jokes, and she must write penetrating rebuttal notes about the logic of the enemy. Here she must have plenty of breath, since being logical requires a surprising num ber of sentences. The final distinguishing characteristic of a good debater is that careless way she has of scattering cards about her table and gathering them nonchalantly while the judges make up their minds, as though the decision were of no impor tance to her. After the decision is announced, the perfect debater shakes hands with a modest or a good-loser attitude, as the occasion demands, with her opponents- pays off her library fines, resolves never to debate again and begins at once to polish up the old speech or organize a new one for another question
