The first game of the tournament was played Monday afternoon between the Juniors and Seniors. The game was a rough and tumble affair, a fea ture which always characterises inter class games. Everything from foot ball tactics to broneho-busting was called into use on the gyui floor. The Seniors, however, managed to come out on top with a score of 20 while the class below them was successful in piling up 14 points against them.

DEBATE SUBJECT OF CANCELLATION OF WAR DEBTS An accident of a rather serious char actre occurred here Friday at about 10 p. m., when Mr. J. E. Wilkins, of this place, and his wife, going home after attending the debate in the col lege cliapel between Elon and Emory and Henry colleges, were hit by a car driven by a man w’ho lived in Mebane, as thev were crossing the highw^ay, and sustained bad injuries. Few facts are obtainable. It w'ould appear, however, that after the acci dent the driver stopt)ed and assisted in carrying Mr. Wilkins and his wife to the hospital. The wife of the man driving the car was also with him at the time of the accident. Mr. Wilkins was unconscious for sometime, but outside of being rather badly bruised hia hurts were not seri ous. Mrs. Wilkins, however, received injuries of a more serious charactei, her nose being broken and a large gash cut in her face. At tlie time of thq aicident, which occurred at the crossing at Dr. T. C. Amick’s, it seems that two cars -were passing from oposite directions, and be cause of the dense fog w'hich had set tled here at that time, and also blind ed by the lights from another car, nei ther the driver nor Mr. and Mrs. Wil kins were able to see each other until too late to avoid the accident. Mr. and Mrs. Wilkins are both for mer students of the college, and resid ed in the town here. Mrs. Wiljjins was formerly Miss Purnie B. Somers, of Al- tamahaw, until her marriage a short time algo. Tlie annual banquet of the Delta Up- silon Kappa sorority for the young la dies and their invited guests occurred Saturday night, and was an occasion of great entertainment and merrymak ing for those participating. The ban quet ocasion is a regular annual affair of the club, and elaborate preparations had been made both as to decoratoius and in the culinary department, tlie do mestic scicnce hall of the collgee beiu| tlie scene of activities for the young people. Green and white beiug the club col* ors, the* scheme was carried out through all the decorations and even to the nie- iin and place cards. Small cedar trees lined tlie walls around the entire cir cumference of the hall. They were Hecked with artificial snow and shiny tinsel particles to produce the green and white of the color arrangement. Ilonevsuckle vines trailed in stream ers from the ceiling, and their fragrant I odor blended with the balm of the cedar to produce a delightful incense of the woods. A soft carpet of fur and fresh' pine needles covered the floor, and in the spacious center opening the tables were placed in the shape of a cross. Candles were used for lighting and added a beautiful finishing touch to the already sparkling effect. During the course of the sumx>tuous dinner, which began with fruit cock tail and ran through the full list of soups, meats, salads, and desserts, with all accessories, toa’sts, sx>eeches, jokes and general merrymaking went the rounds. .Miss Freda Dimmick served in the office of toastmistress and opened the evening with words to welcome the members and guests. W. E. Marlette responded to the opening toast of wel come and spoke the kindly sentiments of the guests. Coach Corboy was heard in a spcech of a general character, and afterwards followed bright bits of hu mor and wit from impromptu sources. Socializing, enjoyment and. a general good time was the purpose, the occas ion, and the result of the ladies’ ban quet. Mr. and Mrs. F. B. Corboy were present as the honored guests of the (Continued on page two.) Last Friday evening Emory and Henry and Elon College divided foren- si? honors in a dual debate. One con test was held here with the visitors de fending the negative, and another at the rival college in which the opposing college opened the battle of words. In both contests the negative carried the decision of the judges. ^ The Debate at Elon The debate held in the college chapel Friday evening between Elon and Em ory and Henry was the first inter-col legiate debate that Elon has engaged in this season. Tt was one of the most interesting debates ever heard in this auditorium, the argument on both sides being especially good. The de bate ended in a two-to-one decision in favor of the visiting team. Dr. Harper served as president for the occasion and in welcoming the visi tors, read some interesting facts about Emory and Henry showing tlie splen did record of the college. L. J. I^erry and L. J. Bray, Elon speakers, upheld the affirmative side of the query, “Resolved—That the United States and associated powders engaged in the recent war against Ger many ,should cancel the inter-allied war debt,” while C. H. Rollins and H. M. Jones defended the negative side of the question. L. J. Perry began the argument for the affi-rmative by saying the canceV lation of the war debt is tiie hope of Europe and humanity today. These loans were made to help in a time of need and to help end the war, and America w'as thinking of the need of humanity and not of the payment of these debts when the loans were made. Financial and human contributions were the same and America only de frayed its share of a common burden in lending money. Even if the allies were willing to pay, America should not demand that they pay because most of the gold is in the United States and they would have to- pay in goods w’hich would kill U. S. manufacturing interests. Mr. Rollins opened the discussion on the negative by saying cancellation of the debts would leave a sense of in justice in Europe by the United States. Europe does not need charity in work ing out its reconstruction but work. It would not be a sound economic policy because it would cause confus ion in the industrial world. American Congress and public opin ion would never consent to it because it "would not only be unfair to Europe but untrue to American citizens, there by causing America to be afraid to in vest in its own government. Mr. Bray continued the argument for the affirmative by saying Europe can not pay her debts and America to a certain extent is responsible for conditions. He made a brief survey of the most important European coun tries showing that at the present Europe is bankrupt, and another world war would be the only way they could be paid. America does not even need the $11,- 000,000 surplus while Europe' is ('Continued on page two.) Professor Walter Greenwood left Thursday night for a trip to several northern cities. On this trip he w'ill give vocal recitals at Springfieldj Mass., and at Brooklyn, Xew York. The first engagement is at Spring field, Mass., on the evening of Decem ber 18.

The Buffalo Courier said of Professor Greenw'ood: ‘‘Walter Greenwood, the popular young American baritone, is an artist in the proper sense of t.he w'ord. His treatment is interpretative, his diction excellent, and his manner pleasing. He displayed his art at its best.” The Brockton Daily Messenger said of him: ‘‘Mr. Greenwood possesses a voice of rare quality.
