Fred Emerson Brooks Here Soon
The Y. M. C. A. Lyceum Commit

Emerson Brooks, Poet-Orator, for

I The committee appointed to con
sider some regulations as to the use
of the courts have drawn up the
following;
1. These tenuis courts shall be
used only by members of the Tennis
Association.
2. It is required that all those
who play on these courts shall use
tennis, or some form of soft-bottomed,
shoes.
3. Lime and a marker are pro
vided in the engine room of the
gymnasium. These must be used
exclusively in marking, off the
courts. .
The committee further add the
drobably unnecessary remark that
courtesy will suggest to those using
the courts that at the end of two or
at least three sets they turn over
the courts to those who may be
waiting. The association does not
wish to place any time restrictions
upon those using the courts, but it
is manifestly unfair for four nfen to
hold a court from 2:00 until 6:00 to
the exclusion of others. The ceurts
when finally altogether prepared
will furnish room for sixty-four
men to play two hours every after
noon. Students, then, should not
hold back from joining the associa
tion because they are afraid they
will not get a chance to play.
THE ACTORS ARE READY

lege life.

ing of all the cotton mills inter one
corporation would be beneficial to
the South. The affirmative won.

speech and Mr. J. R. Nixon was
given honorable mention. At the
regular Saturday night meeting of
the society the same question was
debated, the negative won. Mr. C.
h. Cates was the best speaker.
I AM IT
When a man has been a mueker,
Let's himself be played for a sucker,
Then it stings;
And the rotten rainy weather
Causes to drop many a feather
From love's wings.
Oh, the hopeless self-excusing-,
And the dreary sordid musing
Of his brain.
For him there's no glad tomorrow,
His is self-inflicted sorrow,
Tormenting pain. .
If he had only loved her less,
He'd feel better; we confess
He's a fool;
But experience's dear-bought
teachings
Are worth a lot of hard dry
preachings,,
As a rule.
In fact there's only one poor
creature
To whom experience is not teacher,
And a school,
That's a man whose heart's so
simple
That it throbs at one faint .
dimple -
A damn fool.
