GIVEN TEXAS MEN IN DEBATE
Friendly Spirit Shown by Both Sides Admirable—Judge Bowen Presides. Texas Record for Year is Unblemished — Southern Men Eloquent.
In one of the most finished and interesting debates of the year the University of Texas by a unanimous decision defeated U. S. C. Wednesday evening on the question, “Resolved, that a material increase in the army and navy of the United States over that obtained, or provided for, on August 1, 1915, is justifiable.”
The forceful, fiery, fluent eloquence of the representatives from the Lone Star State was the feature of the evening. It must be conceded that j the Texans are two of the best collegiate debaters that have ever been heard in Los Angeles.
Leo Daze of the affirmative opened the argument for U. S. C. O. Wood | for Texas followed. Zgene Blalock | concluded the constructive argument for the affirmative. He was followed j by Charles I. Francis of Texas.
Each man had a rebuttal, Ugene! Blalock closing the debate.
The friendly spirit shown by both sides throughout the debate was admirable.
W. M. Bowen presided, and at the beginning of the program, the orchestra rendered several selections.
The Texas debate record for the year so far remains unblemished. She has been victorious in every contest and stands as a leading university in western debating.
Loss of Gold Tooth Proves Jonah to Team
“Charge defeat to gold tooth.” Talk about superstitious baseball players. Eddie Simpson can’t pitch good ball without a gold tooth in his mouth. During yesterday’s game, between Phi Alpha and Sigma Chi, Eddie lost his tooth. Up to that time he had been pitching hitless ball, but with the loss of the gold came a myriad of hits and runs. Christy Mathewson posing was of no avail. Eddie’s colleagues instituted a hunt for the tooth and when found. Eddie could fan ’em all, but it was too late.

SENIORS FROLIC IN HILLS, SNEAK DAY
Class of 1916 Discards All Student Responsibility for Nooks of Newhall
Discarding caps, gowns, collateraf books and term papers, the class oi 1916 hied to the sunny hillsides and shaded valleys of the mountains near Newhall yesterday, thus writing down in campus history the story of a successful sneak day. It is estimated that over one hundred members took the trip, which was made by means of speedy auto trucks.
Had it not been for activities of the juniors, the halls and campus would have presented a desolate appearance throughout the day, for the sophomores, too, had felt the call of spring and had journeyed away. The handbills used by the seniors for mural decorations about the University were ignobly destroyed in the juniors, who previously had sensed the seniors’ plans. The class of ’17 supplied other dodgers in the place of those destroyed, bearing humorous ridicule directed at the near graduates.
Mock funeral services w'ere held over three seniors, who had remained at home.

The senior-sophomore combination won the girls’ track meet on the basketball court Wednesday afternoon against the junior-freshman entries, with the score of 54 to 17. As there were no juniors or seniors entered, it was a strictly underclassman affair Nellita Schlotte was the star of the meet, taking six first places. The en tries in all events were practically the same in personnel.
The results were: 25-yard dash Isabel McEuen, first place; Nellita Schlotte, second; 220-yard dash, Isabel McEuen, first; Dorothy Lachman, second; Nellita Schlotte, third; 60-yard dash, Nellita Schlotte, first; Isabel McEuen, second; Coral Rap) third; 60-yard hurdles, three hurdles, Nellita Schlotte, first; Augusta Mul-

One minute after Kelly and Thomson flash across the finish line in Saturday’s race the details will be telegraphed to all parts of the United States, where anxious track fans await the result. Epecially will the Satellites of one Forrest Smithson of Mulnomah Athletic Club, Portland, be hanging nervously around some little Western Union instrument. At present he is the only officially recognized holder of the 15 flat record, besides, of course, our own Thomson and Kelly. Simpson of Missouri is credited unofficially with having driven over the ten flights in world’s record time, and in the “show me” State considerable heart palpitation is due for Saturday p. m.
Kelly has b$en unofficially clocked in 14:4, and if everything goes good Saturday a new world’s record is assured. For whoever is ahead at any stage of the race, the other will not be over two feet behind, and the least let-down by the man in the lead will mean the instant loss of that precious two feet. It will be go, go, go, from holes to tape, and a great many of us will miss our guess if a 14:3 or 14:4 is not flashed over the wires.
