TENNIS TOURNAMENT TO BE STARTED ON CAMPUS Courts Have Been Improved And New Back Stops STATE MEET IN APRIL Carolina Net Sharks Taking Advantage of Weather and Getting in Good Practice These Days Football has come and gone, basket ball is gasping its last for the good year 1924, baseball and track are he ginning to take the. center of the stage with the tenement conferences on ath letics past aid present digging around in the old annuals to 6nd the score of that final game in Columbia when Pet ers beat Punk Luther with a little help from Bill Holland, et al. And along with these mighty sports the meek and humble game of tennis is again beginniag to make its presence felt within our walls. A little work on the courts has brought good results, a little work on Mr. Van has gotten us some new nets, and those who have been on the courts recently may have noticed that the holes in the wire have been plugged up so that all one's ener gy goes into the game of tennis and there is not so much chasing of the elusive pill. All of which is intended to convey the information that it looks good to see so many wielders of the rachet cavorting about on the courts and that it is time for one and all to get started-to get in shape for the tournaments that will be run off not so many weeks from now. Near the end of the year the college tournament is run off, at which time the winners are crowned as Carolina champions in singles and. doubles, and become the proud recipients of some very snappy little trophy culps indica tive of their high station. The witners for 1922 were John Adger NIanning ill singles. N1aanning and Dick Si.gletoln in the dolbles event. I,ast spring tihe winners were Sparkman in singles. Green and Cothran in (1obles.

Be at least the office authority -n that subject. Almost any specialty that you hit on will open to you vista beyond vista, 'veil after veil will lift' and you will store up for yourself an infinity of interests and satisfactions." These were the words which Major Horton, managing editor of the STAT8: read fron a worthily worked uip pper to the University Press Club Wednes (lay night. Advising members of tihe Club, its he might advise "a young brother or sis ter contemplatinig newspaper work," Mr. Horton fturther said: Cultivate yotir interest in people, your social sense, and( stich talent as you po sess in easy, friendly human relation ship. A real reporter has thme gossip'sI relish for inside dope, withotut the mal ice that makes gossip discredlitable. "Poise the rep)orter must ctultivate, for he mtmst keep his head when heads abotut him are hot, must often achieve self-possession and at least outward steadiness, when the very air is electric withl excitemeint.
