who won their places in the warmly
contested tryouts held recently. are
being coached daily by Professor Paul
Most of them have got their speeches
in final shape and are said to be show
ing up unusually we'll. There is every
reason to hope that the defeat sustained
at the hands OF Tulane last year will
be wiped out by victory this season
1t will be remembered. however, that
Virginia won out over North Carolina
and also was victorious in both ora
torical contests last year.
1t has been about definitely decided
that the debate with Georgia will be
held there, although there has been
some doubt as to whether it would be
held here. The Vanderbilt debate will
also be held at that university. 1t is
known, perhaps, the expenses involved
in sending the teams is borne jointly
by the board of visitors and the two
literary societies. The Debating Coun-
ell has charge of all matters of ar
rangement and handling of funds for
this purpose.

concerns the ACCESSIBILITY of having
commission government In Southern
cities. The Virginia teams will up
hold the affirmative side of the ques-

North Carolina and Hopkins; Mr.. Da-
Wis was prominent in this kind of worl,
in a Northern college, and Mr.. Waller
