"Free For All" At Los

Angeles Hoo-Hoo Club

The Snark was the chairman of the d,ay at the Los Angelgs Hoo-Hoo Club luncheon on April 10th.

Jimmie Chase, in the notices thai he mailed out, said that the feature of the meeting would be a "Free For All," in the shape of a debate, between four of the members. It was good.

With Fred Golding and Frank Connelly taking the affirmative, and Ted Lawrence and Phil Hart opposing them on th,e negative side, on the question: "Is the chain yard the most economical method of distribution ?"

Fred led off for his side, he was given five minutes for hjs argument, and it must be said that he did very well. He brought out a great many good points in favor of line yard distribution, and won a round of applause at his close. His first opponent, Ted Lawrence, made a very fine answer, and by calling on several witnesses from among the members, attempted to prove his contention, that the line yard method was a more costly operation.

Frank Connelly followed with some facts .and figures, followed by Phil Hart who used his five minutes to the best of his ability, on the negative side.

After a five minute sum-up by each side, the matter was left in the hands of a Judges' Board, composed of Cliff Fstes, Frank Curran and Dave Woodhead, who brought in a verdict in favor of the negative side.

This kind of a meeting made a hit with the boys, and will no doubt be repeated.
