Debaters Taste First Defeat As Vale Wins Boston Meet Notre Dame's varsity debaters tasted defeat for the first time last Saturday, when they finished third in a field of six­ teen at the Boston University Invita­ tional Tournament. It was the first Irish invasion of the East this season and the arguers managed to top some of the section's best teams, including N.Y.U., Navy, Columbia, M.I.T., and Boston University. It was a bit of Army retaliation that snapped the ND victory streak, as the cadets garnered a single point decision over the Irish speakers, Frank Finn and Bill Carey, in the semi-final round. Pre­ viously the Notre Dame debaters had been seeded number two in a preliminary round. In the finals, West Point suc­ cumbed to the scholarly arguments of Yale's team by a vote of 6-1.
