FORFEIT DEBATE
 10 STATE NORMAL

Arkansas College at Batesville is unable to keep it's debating teams in line long enough to stage contest, and as result has cancelled the de- bate scheduled here with the State Normal for next Monday night. AL though unearned, the decision makes one more for the long string of de- cisions won by the Bears in the forum. The telegram from the college stated that several efforts had been made to select and train a team for the Nor mA debate, but withdrawals or other causes kept the personnel of the teams in state of change.
 Henderson-Brown, which was due here last Monday night, will come the night of April Il instead. The de- bate will be held in the auditorium of the science building.
 Prof. D. D. McBrien, coach of the Normal teams, is conducting nego- tiations with the Southeastern Okla homa Normal at Durant on the chance that debate may be booked at this late date to replace the Batesville institution. He has offered Durant contract covering two years.

HENDRIX HAS SIX
 GAMES IN OfF|NC

"Old Timers" under the manage ment of former Coach "Bill" Head rick will provide the opposition for the 1922 Hendrix Bulldogs when the curtain is raised tomorrow afternoon at 3:45, weather conditions permit ting, on the baseball season. Head rick is said to have a stellar aggrega- tion of performers, judged by their past records, and will make the fur fly on the Bulldogs both Friday and Saturday, the games being the feature of home coming for graduates and former students.
 With the home corners disposed of, the Bulldogs will take on Union Uni versity of Jackson, Tenn, here Mon day and Tuesday. Union sent a basketball quintet over to tackle Lewis Hawley and his bunch. The score showed how little luck the. visitors had.
 First bookings for Ouachita Col lege would have landed the Tigers in Conway on Wednesday and Thursday, the Arkadelphians wanting to ar- range games with Morrilton and also to make stop over at Little Rock to see Babe" Ruth and Aaron Ward when they show there with the Yankees. However, the Morrilton games went glimmering, and the Tigers were billed here Thursday and Friday.
 Coach Dale Jones and his men have had little opportunity for spring train ing and the Bulldogs probably will be below first of the season form. The outfit at Hendrix, however, is cram med full of talent and most likely will shove in the season with some stellar work.
