...that, in determining argumentative ability, the Judges should take into consideration thorough knowledge of the subject, logical sequence, skill in selecting and presenting evidence, and power in rebuttal; and that in considering the form of the speakers as distinguished from their arguments they should regard bearing, quality of voice, correct pronunciation, clear enunciation, ease and appropriateness of gesture, and directness, variety, and emphasis in delivery. Without attempting to assign exact valuation to these various elements, the Association is agreed that as between the two, matter is more important than form; and that should one team excel in matter...

...prevalent view that the team this year has not been in condition to play football is correct, and, for the present, it is useless to look further for an explanation of its lack of success.
