Ky OF Motel rooms and are very reti-
cent about performing In this city.
However, the erection of these new
hotels will remedy the conditions ana
enable Baron fans to see a majority
OF the major league teams in action.
The only way that | induced the
New York Yankees to play here this
year was through the assurance that [
would arrange for accommodations
ahead ftime so there would be no
trouble when they arrived.
In the spring of 1912 the Yankees
came TO the city for an exhibition
game and We're unable to get rooms
in any of the larger hotels. Finally
they We're forced TO go to the Jeffer-
son. Several other teams had the same
experience last year and consequently
nave refused to play here this spring" "
Despite this handicap Moley has sue e
eeeded in persuading four major league
and two Glass A teams to visit the
Magic City during the coming spring.
These are the st. Louis Americans. Chi
cago Nationals. New York Americans,
Detroit Yannigans. Louisville American
association club and Rochester Inter
national league club.
The first exhibition game will be
staged on March Is with Louisville and
the final one on April 4 with Ro-

II is also likely thai an exhibition
game will be staged with the UniVer-
sity of Alabama For several years past
the Barons have played the collegians
on the campus and Moley states that
while negotiations for the game had
mol commenced it was very probable
the game would be played.

CHOOSE SUBJECTS FOR
THE ANNUAL DEBATES
Try-Outs to Represent Alabama With
Vanderbilt and Sewanee to
Speak Shortly

University, February 13.-(Special.)
The subjects for the annual debate with
Vanderbilt and Sewanee have been
chosen. and try-outs for the two de-
batting teams that will represent the
University in these two contests will
be held at an early date.
The question to be argued with Van
derbilt is: Resolved, That the Pres-
dent of the United States Should be
Elected by Popular Vote" Alabama will
have the negative side of this issue.
With Sewanee, the Alabama debaters
will discuss the question: Resolved,
That the Federal Government Should
Own and Control All Telephone Lines
in the United States" Alabama's side
on this issue has not yet beeen de-
termined.
The debate with Vanderbilt will pe
held at Nashville this year, while Sc
vance will come to Alabama. The Van
derbilt contest is scheduled to take
place on April Il. The date of the Sc
vance debate has not yet been fixed,
though it is probable that it will be
sometime later than that with Van
derbilt.
In the last few years debating has
become a very prominent feature OF
student life here, and Alabama has
had excellent success in its intercol-
legiate forensic contests. Last year
Alabama's representatives defeated both
Sewanee and Nandebilt.
The University is this year doing
more work of an extension nature than
ever before in its history The school
teachers of the state are coming to
recognize more and more the fact that
the institution is the capstone of the
educational system of the state, and
that they not only have a right but
also are expected to draw on 1T for
any help that it can give. AS a result
frequent calls are made upon the pro-
fessors. Only recently Prof. Gustav
Wittig made out q complete list Of
physical laboratory equipment for the
Cuba high school-only one of many
instances of such work.
