SPORTING BRIEFS. Tennis players are grateful to the University for having had the courts put in good con dition recently. Our only com plaint is that we haven't more courts. Congested quarters prevent us from having many more, but still there are several corners about over the campus that would make excellent courts. With the approach of the State Tennis Tournament much interest is being shown in the event. Carolina was forced to accept second place late year, losing to Clemson, but this year things should be different. Coach Clarke has his Game cocks in good shape for the baseball season, which opened yesterday with Yale at Macon. While it is true we are weak in sports, it is equally true that a fine spirit of co-operation on the part of the student body can turn many a seeming de feat into victory. As the college baseball sea son gets a little better under way there is some comment of a conflict in practices held by the University squad and the profe% sional team of the city which has been given access to Davis Field. We understand that the Authorities have arranged for no such conflict or any disturb ance of University athletics. We sincerely trust that this ar rangement will be enforced against the leaguers. Manager Waite is insist ing that more men come out for track. This popular sport, which is being revived so en thusiastically at Carolina, should receive better support from the student body. Coach Crawford is daily giving his ef forts toward building a winning team, but he can do nothing without sufficient material. Every man who thinks he is anything of a track man should go out and get the training. It might surprise some of you to know what you really can do if you try. We used to head of a pro posed gym. team and wrestling team, with several contests be ing planned for each. Recent ly this talk is not quite so fre quent. Seems as if such plans might be well worth promot ing. Say, fellows! How about a swimming team. Of course, we have no facilities here for training a swiniming team, but we believe such arrangements can be made with the city Y. M .C. A. We have some excel lent swimmers among us, some of the best in the South, we be lieve, and we should be able to get out a winning aggregation in this sport. Remember what Carolina renresentatives did for us at Blue Ridge last sum mer in this unique sport? Well, this can be repeated if we care to put sufficient interest into it to put it across. Think it over. Carolina welcomes the State prep schools to our campus for their track meet. Remember, we need these men here in suc ceeding years, so let's give them a welcome that will convince them of our sincerity. Success ful Carolina teams in later years will depend a great deal on our securing such men to compose them. MISS KNOX LEAVES DEAN'S OFFICE. Miss Fanona Knox, who has been secretary to Dean Baker for the past eighteen months, will leave the University on April 1st to return to her old alma mater, Winthrop, to accept the position of registrar at that institution. The many friends of Miss Knox regret that she has decided to leave us. The effi cient and courteous work that Miss Knox has done since her connection with the University has won for her many friends on ! and off the campus, all of whom wish her continued success in her new undertaking. NEW YORK DEBATE TO BE HELD APRIL 8TH. The University's debating team leaves next week for New York to meet the University- of New York's team to debate the query, "Resolved, That the A. B. C. Powers be invited by the U. S. to cooperate in the establish ment of a joint protectorate over Haiti." Carolina's team composed of W. C. Mann and Joseph Horo witz, will defend the negative side of the query. ACADEMIC SENIOR ESSAYS DUE TODAY According to the regulations of the University graduating es says of the Senior academic class must be filed with Dr. Wauchope by the close of today. Students who have satisfied the require-i ments by other means are under conditions excused from this es-. say. Certain debates and ora-, torical contests relieves one of this obligation. Approximately 55 undergraduate academic sen iors are due to file essays or to, furnish evidence of exemption as above stated. A resolution of a member of the board of visitors of the Uni versity of Virginia offered at a' recent meeting in Charlottsville proposing to admit women to all; departments of the University on the same footing as men was~ dlefeated by a vote of 5 to T. 'The: board nevertheless adopted a res-. olution admitting women to the department of graduate studies, beginning next sessin. Y. W. C. A. HOLDS SECOND MEETING. A very impressive meeting of the Y. W. C. A. was held on Monday of last week in Flinn Hall, where new members were initiated. The ceremony was simple and brief, each girl be ing given a candle which was lighted from that of the presi dent of the association. After the completion of the ceremony Miss Graydon made a very val uable talk. Miss Graydon ex plained the purpose for which the Y. W. C. A. had been form-i ed by the young ladies of the University, and told of the great good that could be done by the organization. After a short devotional ser vice supper. was served. The next meeting will be held on Wednesday afternoon in the girl's study. PREP SCHOOL MEET TO BE HELD SOON.

Carlisle, Bailey, Porter and Wof ford Fitting Schools will com pete. Plans are being made by the University for the coming meet and the visiting athletics will be entertained on the cam pus, the Extension Department having this in hand.
