Held Here
A state championship, the second of the season, was brought to
Stevens Point by Rev. Donald
Mills and Celestine Nuesse last
Ji'riday when their debate team
completed a three day tournament
witn one loss and seven victories.
Platteville In Final
The title was gained after successive defeats had been meted
out to R.iver Falls, La Crosse and
Platteville in the semi-finals and
final. - A second Stevens Point
team, composed of Tom Smith
and Burton Hotvedt, entered the
early semi-final stage but lost to

The decisions, rendered by three expert judges, were kept sealed until the
conclusi{)n of tl{is process Thursday afternoon when they were announced. It
had been agreed upon that the four
teams, irrespectivo of school, having
the poorest record would be eliminated.
'rwo additional rounds were required
between Superior, Platteville and La
Crosse as the result of ties in this respect. Stevens Point and River Falls
alone managed to send their full squads
into the semi-finals.
In the early rounds Mills and Nuesse
had lost only to La Crosse, while Smith
and Hotvedt dropped to Superior and
Eau Claire. The strong La Crosse team
emerged without a defeat.
Point Nips La Crosse
Mills and Nuesse, of the the A group,
began their drive for the championship
by checking River Falls Friday morning. The climax of the whole tournament
was· reached when these Pointers won
over the undefeated La Crosse men
early in the afternom1. The final with
Platteville was held before a small
erowd in the auditorium immediately
after this upset.
The Point men
suffered a let-down from the tension of
the previous strenuous argument, however, all three of the judges cast bal·
lots giving Stevens Point its championship. O'Niell of Michigan, and Weaver
and Eubanks of Wisconsin decided the
contests.
