Laverne Bane Coach Engaging in one of the busiest forensic programs in Utah history, an unusually well-balanced women's squad maintained the high standards of debating characteristic of university forensic artists. The women opened their season by participating in their division of the Western States Speech tournament, placing high in the field of twenty teams. Oregon style, cross-examination type, non-decision debates were held with the visiting women's teams from the universities of Cincinnati and Colorado, respective champions in the midwest and Colorado.

They also competed in the Utah-Idaho tournament where Julia Brixen won the championship in the extempore contest.
