William C. Lufler, tennis coach at the college and director of the clinic, states that he may be forced to limit the total to 200. The clinic is held in conjunction with the Southern junior and boys’ lawn tennis championship tourna ment. The tournament, held for the first time at Presbyterian college, gets under way at 8:30 Monday, June 3, on the courts in the Calla way tennis stadium. The faculty for the cl|inic includes Marvin Greer, professi^bnal at the Surf club, Miami, Fla., G. W. Gel- wlck, professional at Myers Park, Charlotte. N. C., and Harry Fogle- man. head tennis coach at Duke uni versity. in this week's session of instruc tion in tennis essentials and sports- mansliip,' the instructors will attempt to correct basic faults in players at tending as stuTlents. This will be done by actual court work, by lectures, by demonstration, by match play, by ex hibition work by the pros and ama teurs, and by motion pictures of proper tennis form and practice, sup plied by the United States Lawn Tennis association. High .school, preparatory, college, and university players, as'well as all other young tennis enthusiasts from the states of South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama, Florida and Georgia are invited to attend.

If the politicians control the Democratic national convention^' the belief is growing here that the nominee will not be President Roose velt, but is much more likely to be the secretary of state, Cordell Hull. Mr. Hull’s strength derives from confidence in his grasp of interna- .laturc yesterday, “and it is the duty i^'f^f^ management 1 under the constitution of the legis- j lature to act either on my recom- j mendations or whatever plans they ' believe to be in your best interest.

He is probably the only avail able American who was actually bom in^ a log cabin, which is in ac cord with the best of the old Ameri can traditions. Vice-President Gamer was also bom in a log cabin, but it is generally conceded that he is now entirely out of the running.
