BIG TENNIS MEET JUNIOR WEEK I State Intercollegiate Tennis Association in Process oi Formation lenms, tor this season promises to be more interesting than ever before in the University. A- real State championship series will, in all proba bility be played on the Hill during Junior Week. i ne ioiiowing letter, wnicn ex plains itself has been sent to the dif ferent North Carolina Colleges by th Tennis. Association. "We wish to secure if possibl J i 4 f . your co-operauon in tne rormation o a State Intercollegiate Tennis Associa tion. The interest in tennis as an in tercollegiate sport appears to be dying out in our State and it is hoped that in organization this interest may be revived." The University proposes to these colleges to be host of their teams this spring and to perfect the plan o organization in a meeting here, which together with thetournament will be held April 20 and 2lst. At this meet rules will be adoptedand a constitu tion drawn up. It is hoped in this way to have al the State colleges meet annually in a tennis tournament at the least expense to all concerned, avoiding these rather expensive individual trips. l he proposals . weere sent to six colleges; A. and M., Trinity, David son, wake forest, liuillord and Jbvion Already four have replied favorably Rules for the government of the association has been proposed: 1st. That the Association be called the North Carolina Intercollegiate Association. 2nd. That the Association have its president and its 'secretary to be elected at each meeting, in the hands of which officers are to be entrusted the arrangement of allmeets and the transaction of all business according te the wishes of the association. 3rd. That the Association meet each year at some designated place (each college being the host in turn). and'a tournament be played, the win nmg team to be presented witn a cup or some other suitable reward. 4th. That -the Secretary of the association make his report at each meeting and. declare an assessment to meet general expenses upon each college in the membership, v. jtn. mat an questions that may arise be referred to the Association in meeting assembled. This step toward the organization of an intercollegiate association will no doubt Cause a considerable revival of interest in Tennis." The colleges in most of the other States have made this move and proved its success. j .

Inter-Society Debaters Also Chosen, i PROFESSOR STACY SPEAKS Talks to Y. M. C A, Our Importance of De- taJs. (Professor M. H. Stacy delivered on Tuesday night the address at the regular meeting of the Young Men's Christian Association. The subject )f Professor Stacy's lecture was, the importance of attending to details. He very earnestly urged the students to attend faithfully to the small details for they go to make up the great things and to the small jobs for they lead to the great positions. He used many appropriate illustra tions which clearly brought out and forcibly supported his contention The substance ot the address is as follows: "A person's career is often directed by just such a small thing as a rail road switch which being changed at Greensboro may send a train either to Memphis or to New York. A little pebble may influence the course of a great river. In the same manner do the details count in a man's life. If a working man saves and invests thirty cents per day from the time that he begins to work until he is sixty-one years old he will be worth $8,000. If a professional man (and most of you expect to be professional men) saves and invests one dollar per day from the time he is thirty years of age un- he is sixty-one he will be worth about $17,000. This shows what the mere mechanical attention to details will do, "I have been watching and studying this student body for ten years and I know that the student who has the most influence here and who is the most respected is the man who has paid the most attention to the details, the small every day affairs of life. It is this same man, also, that will make the greatest success in after ife for by his careful attention to de tails he will win the confidence of his ellow students here. ...... An awkward, gawky, ignorant youth from Buncombe county entered the University in the fall term of the year 1821. lie lacked many ot the advantages and qualities of other boys; but he had this one: he care- ully attended to the small details. his boy did not have much money and so staid only one term. He went back to Buncombe county and taught school for two years. Then he came again in 1823 and studied Law. He got his license and went back to his (Continued on fourth page) The preliminary contest was held Wednesday night in the hall of the Philanthropic Society, for the purpose of selecting debaters to represent the University in the forthcoming debate with the University of Virginia. The candidates for places on the team were W. A. Dees, J. A. MacGoogan', W. T. Joyner; all seniors and members of the Philanthropic Society, E. C. Ward, a senior of the Dialectic Society and J. A. McLean, a law student of the Phil anthropif Society. The judges of the contest, Mr. .Cbase, Professor Bernard, and Dr. Mims unanimously decided in favor of Messrs Dees and Joyner. The contest for places on ' the team that debates with the' University of Georgia was held in the hall of the Dialectic Society on the same night. The contestants were I. C. Moser a senior, H. E. Riggs a junior, D. A. Lynch of the law class, all members of the Dialectic Society, P. Dixon, and E. Wi Turlington, both seniors and members of the Philanthropic Society. Professors Winston. Noble and Wagg staff who served as judges of the con test decided that Messers Moser' and Lynch should represent the University in the debate. ; ; J : ; ' The speeches of the successful can didates i n bo t hp jvejim i nar ies were forcibly d e 1 i v er e d . and showed a thorough analysis of the sub ject. The losing , candidates pushed the fortunate ones very closely for the places. Several of them, especially Mr. McGoogan would represent the the University in a most creditable manner. . The query for both debates is: Re solved, that the Federal Government should levy an income tax. Our Vir ginia debaters have the negative side while the Georgia debaters defend the affirmative., , . The Dialectic Society selected : its representatives for the "fresh soph" iuter-societv debate in competitive contests which were held on Monday and Tuesday nights. J. C. Busbee of the sophmore class and G. H. Ward, of the freshman class were chosen. The Philanthropic Society elected as its representatives, L. B. Gunter, of the sophomore class and S. W. Whit ing of the freshman class. An interesting little story is told of how well our debaters argued in tne contests on Wednesday night. A law student went up to the Phi hall and heard Mr. Dee's speech on the negative side of the question. "The negative wins" he decided, "no more argument is neces sary," and forthwith he went over to the Di hall. There he heard Mr. Moser's argument on the affirmative side and commented thus: "Why; how astonishing, the case is entirely re versed and the affirmative wins."
