Teams Of Three Schools Break Even In
.... - Triangular Debate.
Atlanta, Ga.-There Is great and
growing interest I'm intercollegiate de-
batting among the Negro colleges Of
the United States and particularly in
the. south. There are several triangu-
lar leagues. The one between Atlanta,
Fisk and Howard is perhaps the oldest
and the one that has attracted widest
notice. The annual triangular debate
held In April was upon the subject,
Resolved, That the National Govern
ment Should Require Compulsory Ar
bitration Of Disputes Between Capital
and Labor" Atlanta university met
Fisk in this city and won by a unani-
NOUS decision Of the Judges. a..-..
Fisk met Howard In Nashville,
Tenn, and won, while Howard met
Atlanta in Washington and won, SO
that in every case the home team won
from the visiting team. Atlanta and
Fisk have been debating for eleven
years, during which time Atlanta has
won six contests. while Fisk has won

There is also keen interest manifest
ed In Negro, colleges over the present
outlook of the. worlds war. Atlanta
university's first representative. in the
person of James Williams, the star
fulIback on the football team. has gone
to the front as United States cavalry
man. He will be sorely missed, but
perhaps the whole team will follow his
example.
Graduates of Atlanta university are
showing q timely interest IN the en-
dowment fund commemorating the fif-
tieth anniversary of the founding OF
the university. Clubs in various parts
Of the country are making encouraging
contributions. This is as 1t should be.
Negro graduates and Negro people In
general must contribute more toward
the maintenance of their institutions
II they expect people In general 10 give
to them. Perhaps there is no institu-
tion In all the country that has 80
much to show In gifts from It's loyal
and loving graduates as Atlanta uni
versity has.
