delphia Friday Night by
MeSSTS. Battle and

Carolina added another scalp to her
forensic belt by defeating the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania Friday night in
Philadelphia. The query of the debate
was: Resolved, That the Pooling of
Interstate Railway Rates Should be
Legalizsd." The judges were Prof.
James Mefatt, w. r. Bleason and
Frances Rawla. The decision Of the
judges was unanimously in favor OF
the Tar Heels. G. A. Drefs and E. w.
Perrett, Jr., representedI .Pennsylva-
MIA and upheld the Affirmative. Kemp
D.sBattle and John w. Umstead, Jr.,
represented Carolina and defended
the negative. The debate was spirited
on both sides, but the deep-laid or
ganic argument Of the North Carolin-
ians was simply unanswerable.
The Carolina representatives are
both prominent members Of the senior
class and men of high standing in Uni
versity life. Kemp D. Battle is son
of Mr.. T. H. Battle, Of Rocky Mount.
and . grandson Of DR.. Kemp P. Battle,
member Of the Dialectic Society, in
which he received much Of his train
ing in debate. He is also . mem Der
of the scholarship society of Phi Beta
Kappa, standing third. In spite of his
sttainmef1ts in scholarship and debate
Mr.. Battle has taken an active part in
general University life. Mr.. John w.

{ From the time that he registered as a
freshman until now he has been de-
batting. He hasl represented the Phi
Society in three debates with the Di,

ham medal by making the best speech
in the inter-society debate. The same
perseverance, which has characterized
his debatingscaree has ma rked his en-
deavors in the other PAGES OF Univsr-
sity life. The University is justly
proud of these two young men who SO
signalIy won honor for her in Phila-
