VINSTON-SALEH TEAM WINS OVER
GRAHAM IN STATE HIGH SCHOOL DEBATE
Miss Flonnie Cooper a Member of the Losing Team.
Twenty-two Girls Reached Chapel Hill. Seven En
tered the Semi-Finals. One the Final
WINSTON-SALEM DEFENDED THE NEGATIVE. HER CHAMPIONS ARE TENTH GRADE BOYS
Seldom even at commencement
lias this old campus seen a busier
two days than were '1 hursday ;
and Friday of last week when the J
High School Debaters were in;
jH.ssess.ou. They began coming
in Wednesday night and by
Thursday noon the roll was prac
tically complete. As they came in
they were conducted to the Y. M.
C. A. to register ami get pro
grams and much information that
they doubtless soon forgot, After
this formality they. were gradu
ally distributed anion" the vari
ous students, county clubs, and
members of the faculty, whose
guests they were. And it is an
interesting commentary upon the
student body and their hospitali
ty that in spite of our somewhat
inadequate dormitories the stu
dents themselves entertained
nearly all of the two hundred and
seventy-five visiting Debaters audi
track men. At meals the major
ity were the guests ot the Uni-!
versity at the Inn and at Com-'
inons.
After dinner Thursday the:
Debaters assemble in the Chapel ;
to draw for halls and sections for ;
the first preliminary. This was j
the first time that they had gath-;
ered in one body and the specta-j
tors were able to form an idea of j
numbers as they practically tilled ,
the lower floor of the Chapel. As
the name was called its principal
or other representative, came for
ward and drew for each of his
teams a card bearing the section
and hall of debate and the order
of the speakers. The school was
given a guide to show the debat
ers their respective halls., This,
with the registration, was re
sponsible for the remarkabie lack
of confusion in the first prelum- j
narv. EiVhtv-two teams, a hun- j
dred and sixty-four debaters,
divided into eight sections separ
ated among as many halls, upon
a strange campus; and not one
failed to speak. Only a few were
lost and they were soon put right, j

or "and they would have you

state with their experimental innovations-".
From every quar
ter, every eighth of the campus
came oratory, full of "pep" and
unrestrained. When at last the
various sets of judges, in ear
drapered and in brain numb, had
rendered their decisions and the
quivering air had resumed its
normal state, it became apparent
that the following schools had
survived:
Affirmative Dallas, Graham,
Mautco, New Bern, Pleasant
Garden, Statesville, Sylvan, and
Winston-Salem.
Negative:--Asheville, Church.

ham, Lumberton, New Bern, and
Winston-Salem.
Friday morning these survivors
renewed the competition in the
: second preliminary. From nine
until two they fought it out bc
; hind the closed doors of the So
ciety Halls. Finally as the crowd
; was gathering to be photograph
ied word went about that Graham
had been selected as champion of
"the affirmative, Winston-Salem of
the negative. It was character

l and girls that those whose hopes
i had been raised by making the
second preliminary only to have
; them dashed to the ground, like

ually and in general they were
true sportsmen and at this
f.,
North Carolina should be as
proud as of their skill at debate.
When President Graham rose
to introduce the first speaker of
the final debate Friday night in
Memorial Hall he faced over one
thousand two hundred people. In
j "This is the most significant
! meeting of North Carolinians that
i has ever taken place within the
; borders of the State".
The Secretary, E. R. Rankin,
read the query which was, ."Re
solved, that the constitution of
North Carolina should be so amen
ded as to allow the Initiative and
Referendum in State-wide Legis-
lation, and then introduced the
first speaker for the affirmative,
M; II. Kernodlc of Graham High
School.
Mr. Kernodle argued that the
innovations are the natural se
quence of the growth of Demo-
cratic Governnient from the be
a nd it will "open thedoor to every
reform without waiting for the
mononolies to lift the latch." In
conclusion he said the system is
practical. He cited numerous in
stances where it has worked suc
cessfully. Charles Roddick, of Winston
Salem, spoke first for the negative.
His argument was that first the
plan was unpractical; because the
people Will not vote in large

Carolina won from Hampden
Sidney in an interesting game
last Thursday afternoon by a
score of 3 to 2. The game was
Carolina's at the start but the
run getting called for a little
initiative, and when Hampden-
Sidney scored in the fourth
little excitement was aroused.
Pritchett's crew became enthused
and the whole college was pull
ing for a score. In the sixth
Hampden-bidney again scored,
and something had to come
Hubert Bailey after a long, fast
journey toward the central fence

STATE TRACK MEET OFF,
Second Date for the

Fnroct HI oof
-,
went to
Raleigh
Saturday and conferred
with A. & M. concerning the
State Track Meet. The student
manager of the A. & M. track
team is in favor of the meet; but
the higher authorities are ad
verse to Carolina participating in
any contest on their field. The
State Track Meet, therefore, will
not be held in Raleigh this year.
There is some hope of getting A.
& M., Wake Forest, and Trinity
to come to Chapel Hill for a State
meet. But this would be alto
gether a new plan and stands
only a small chance of maturing
at this late date.
The Wake Forest-Carolina
meet, which was postponed from
April 4, will be held here on
April 25.
On April 11 the team goes to
Blacksburg, Va. to meet V. P. I.
This is our first meet with V. P.
I. since two years ago, when we
barely nosed out a victory over
them.
