Eton College, March 8.—The State
championship in college basket-ball
seems to be an absorbing topic in ath
letic circles just now, especially in
View of Elqn’s and'Wake Forest’s op
posing claims for it. So far Elon
has not set forth her claim to the
honor and distinction in any extend^
way, preferring for the season to be
over and the dust to clear away. Nok
since there are many demands from
various sources for a definite state
ment, it is herewith succinctly given
to the public.
There are three ways to compute
the championship: with all colleges
colleges only: with the colleges which
have played two games with each oth
er with reference to the ciiampionship,
but not more than two games. By
all three of these methods, the show
ing of Elon is superb. Taking the
method of computing all college
games in all States. Wake Forest play
ed fifteen games and won eight, mak
ing a percentage of .562; Eton id«yod
fifteen games and won nine, nuikiiig
a percentage of 600. Within the State
with N. C. Colleges, Wake Forest
played eleven and won seven making
a percentage of 636. Elon tied this
record, playing the same number nnd
winning the same number, her per
centage being 636; For the State
championship, which includes two
games with each of the following col
leges, Trinity, Guilford, Wake Forest,
A. & M. and Carolina, each team won
six out of ten games, making a per-

Read This Article and Take Better
Care of The Teeth You' Hare
That Are “Yours.”
By Dr. I I, Holt
The foundation for irregular teeth
is laid before the child reaches his
teens. At this ag^e in a child’s life
the paren-s are responsible for his or
her future welfare. To those who
know the importance of the proper
;are of the first set of teeth; it seems
almost impossible that people who
ihink they are refined ai^d are really
well posted in other matters are of
ten ignorant of the fact tliat neglectcd
baby teeth are followed by perma
nent ones that will soon dceay and
often be lapped or out of line so as
to cause a disfigurement to the per
son when grown up..
Why? It is seldom that a dentist
has the pleasure to see a child eight
years of age who has never had one
or probably all of their jaw teeth so
badly decayed that some of ther.i
have caused the little fellow a great
deal of suffering. Now, what is the
cause of all this trouble and what is
the result? In the first place we will
say that the cause can ue traced ot-
rectly to the parents who are either
indifferent, ignorant or too poor to
visit a dentist and have the cavities
filled in their child’s teeth as they are
formed. Another thing which is real
ly criminal neglect in this day of
enlightenment along, sanitay lives is
that many parents \rill not furnish
tooth brushes for their children and
demand that they use them after each
meal to thoroughly cleanse the teeth
of all adhering particles of food.
Now there is no excuse on the par
ents’ part for not doing this much f'>r

Washington, March 11.—With de
bate on repeal of the extmptioncla'.ise
of the Panama Canal act about to
beg-in in the House, interest in the
outcome of the President’s request of
Congress was intensified today, op
ponents of the repeal displaying un
usual activity. To administration
leaders who have made a thoroug'i
canvass of the situation, it appearei
practically certain tonight that op
position to the repeal would be I'ruit-
le.ss.
Announcement yesterday that ti e
Senate Committee on Inter-Oceani:
Canals had determined to await ac
tion by the House before taking up
the repeal controversy for consider
ation created some comment in the
Senate.
Formal conferences' were held
among Democrats, their conclusions
being that there is no reason for un
usual haste on thep art of the Senate
and that action by the House may be
awaited iinless the Sims repeal l>tll
should encounter unusual delay. If
the House proloung, should discuss
ion of the measure unreasonably, a-i-
ministration leaders in the Senate may
make an effort to take initiative ac
tion.
President Wilson conferred on the
toUs issue today with Senators Jantcs,

SHARE COSTS EQUALLY,
Dr. Hennessee and Mr. W. D. Pitts
are to share equally in all the costs
of this trial and also that of August
when the physician was acquitted of
the charge of murder—the cost of
the latter bavins been -S56. Over
-2,000 has l-een spent on mcdical and
hospital bills by the two families, be
sides attorneys’ fees.
NO LIQUOR IN FIGHT.
A remarl able thing about this des
perate licht is the fact ihat not Jne
of the combatants was under me in-
fiuence of. liquor. Even Dr. HennO’5?:>e,
battle-torn a;'d almost dead, refused
to swallow whiskey vvlu^h was offered
him, contenting himself with wetting
his lips.
For 15 minutes after Judge Long
resumed his hearing this morning Dr.
Hennessee was again on the stand.
He admitted havi-g had a number of
controversies about small bill.'?, bai
denied bei”.^ quarrelsome. He was
decided in his manner and spirited in
bis replies.
Mr. M. N. Hennessee told hia story
calmly. He is about 54 yesiirs old, is
ruddy hued, thick-set, quiet-manncr-
ad with a tendency toward stolidity.
He wears a eray mustache. -He clasp- j.
ed his fingers together and teld his
story withimt a geatare. Once he

in sight of victory and were defeated
by five points. These solid fajts
would indicate that the superiority
lies with Elon in reference to any
claim of Wake Forest for the chau
pionship. Elon admits that Wake
Forest had a fine bunch of players,
clever, active, clean, but she contends
that the record shows that she is en
titled to the championship.
Three of the colleges int he State
have voted it to Elon, admitting that
her quint is superior to any in the
State, and agreeing with the Elon
sympathizers that Wake Forest iias
the next strongest team. These col
leges are Trinity, Guilford and ibe
A. ic M., Carolina has not been c«*»n-
sulted on them atter, but sincc Eion
il^eated her on her own floor, it is
likely that siic too would vote mat

that Elop played her two games wiih
Carolina wlii’.e that team had its
main strength ot full varsity men
a-id before Taiidy and Edwards were
ruled off by the University Faculty.
Wake Forest played with Carolina iif
ter her quint was n'aterially weaken
ed, and certainly the third game with
Carolina ought not to figure In the
State championship, unless a third
game was granted each of the claim
ants. ,
Basket-baii enthusiasm is running
high because of the fine record the
Elon quint has made this year and
the supporters of the game are wHl-

dnST 7 fixt 25c,
Washington, March .U,—The dis
patch-of two additional regiments of
American Infantry to Eagle Pass and
Laredo, Texas, to allay fears of
Mexican raids and the appearance here
of General Felix Biaz and friends for
a rew plan to solve the Mexican
problem, were the chief developments
today in the Mexican situation.
The troops—^the Ninth and Seven-
teeth Refiments—were ordered to the
bordier at the request of Senator Shep
pard and Representative Garner. The
latter told the President there was
a yood deal of cash in border banks
and Americans wanted to be protect
ion. Mr. Garner also said much cat
tle. had disappeared recently, and reS"
idents believed Mexicans were respon-
sible. The request for additionai
troops was made Monday; was dis-
cussed at the Cabinet meeting and
decided on late today by the Presi
dent, who communicated his approval
to the Secretary of War.
Genera] Diaz and his friends here
said they were not yet prepared to
announce their definite purposeis, but
would do so tomorrow. One of the
party was Pedro del Villar, who be
fore the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee last week» was reported
to have asked support for a counter
revolutionary movement. The Mex
icans denied today that they sought
support or sa*iction for any levolu-
tionary movement, saying their idea
was a campaign of Information about
Mexico and to acquaint Washington
with the personality of General Diaz,
so his part in subsequent events in
^^exico might be judged from a study
close range.
It was learned they are seeking
the elimination of General Huerta and
are not allied in any way with the
Constitutionalists. Members of the
party «iid Senator Root confeired
with General Diaz in Washington last
week and that Diaz came to Wash
ington at the invitation of Senator
Kail.
Today’s orders for the dispatch of
two more regiments to Texas \vill re
sult in the assembly in that state of
nearly 18,000 troops* more by 3,000
than the entire force of the regular
army that Gener.il Shafter led into
Cuba. Nearly 11,000 soldiers are in

of Brig. Gen. Funston of Philippine
