Two Free Throws Counted After Final Gun Let the Tie; Their Coach Costs Shot That Loses. Dillon, Jan. 29.-(Special.) - UnqUestionably the fastest and most interesting game of the season was PlaYed here tonight when the Butte School of Mines defeated the Normal College by a one-point margin, a gift Shot by Dougherty deciding the issue and the game ending 32 and 31. The Miners began the scoring and led 12 to 7 the first quarter, but three points were made in the second qUarter, which ended 13 to 9, both teams playing a strong, defensive game. In the third period a rally by the Normals tied the score and alternate baskets kept the scorers busy, the quarter ending 25 to 24. In the final period came the climax and at the whistle the score was 31 to 29 in the Miners' favor with Mur-ray on the foul line for two gift shots which he made. A technical was then called on the Normal coach which gave Dougherty the final chance and won the game for the Miners.

The first intercollegiate debate of the year for the School of Mines squad was held on January 29 when a team of young women from Mon'tan a State Normal College stopped off in Butte long enough to take the measu"e of the Ore Diggers in a hotly fought argument. The contest was held in the Chemistry Lecture. room with a fair-sized audience in attendance. many of them .being visitors to the hill from people interested in the question under discussion. The student attendance was limited somewhat by the fact that so many had to leave to go on Friday night shift. The Pi Kappa Delta national question was used, it being, "Resolved, that the constitution' of the United States should be so amended as to permit Congress to regulate child labor." The Miners upheld the affirm- . ative with Archie McPhail, Helen McGregor, and Harold Johns comprising the team. The Teachers' trio included Mrs. Mary Mahrt of Ovando, Miss Annie Hench of Stevensville, and Miss Alice Bennett of Anaconda. The judges were Rev, C. F. Chapman, Earle Genzberger, and J. R. Thomas. Their decision was unanimously in favor of the negative, but they stated afterwards that the contest was close. The speakers on both teams displayed much' ability and considerable study of their subjects: In both construetive speeches and in rebuttal there was much give and take in the arguments. The visitors quoted many statistics and went into more detail than did the local collegians, but they did not show as much skill and readiness in adjusting their arguments to the debate while talking. The Miners maintained that state regulation of child labor has been lacking in unity and in ~ffectiveness. They showed that efforts .to secure minimum standards of regulation for all of the states by Congressional action had been halted by adverse decisions of the Supreme Court and that an amendment must be. passed before any uniformity could be secured. Such minimum standards, they argued, are necessary to protect many children who now have inadequate state laws to protect them, to secure economic equality among the business men of the various states who must meet child labor competition, and to pro(Continued on Page Five.)
