Casts Selected For Tournament Plays by Clubs Literary Society Invites Pioneers To Next Meeting A resolution inviting the Pioneer club members to attend a meeting of the Demosthenian literary society was adopted Wednesday night at the regular weekly meeting of the so ciety. At that time the question "Resolved: That Demosthenian should he made co-educational” will be debated. The suggestion, originated by Dr. J. S. Stewart, that glass panel cases be placed around the walls of the hall was brought before the society. This plan would furnish archives to contain books, speeches, autographs, of former Demosthenians. I. K. Hay, Covington, presented the matter. "Resolved: That freshmen and sophomores should be allowed to own and operate automobiles at the University of Georgia” was the sub ject of an Impromptu debate. I. S. Market, Atlanta, and R. E. Falligant, Savannah, upheld the affirmative; I K. Hay, Covington, and H. S. Petty, Dawson, were the negative speakers. L. H. Block, Atlanta, and Arthur Gigniliiat, Pineora, delivered ora tions, the latter speaking on inter national affairs. Georgia Debaters To Compete with Carolinian Team The University of Georgia debating team will meet the University of South Carolina in a dual debate May 2. according to William Tate, faculty arbiter of debates. This debate will take the place of the annual triangle debate scheduled between the Uni versities of South Carolina, William and Mary, and Georgia, the second school dropping out because of the delay in selecting a subject. The subject will be, “Resolved, That the democratic party should nominate Al Smith for the presi dency.” The query as to the fitness of the Baumes' law which was orig inally selected, was rejected because of the lack of Interest shown and the little material available on It. The main speeches will be limited to fifteen minutes and the rebuttal to seven. The affirmative teams of both schools will debate at home, with the negative teams making the trips.

Meet Hooks Winner in Sectional Boxing Olympic Tryouts With a three-round decision over his opponent Wednesday night, Bob by Hooks won the finals of the Southeastern Olympic tryouts at Mo bile, Ala., in the light heavyweight class. Hooks’ win preserved his rec ord of having won every match dur ing his college boxing career, and sends him to Boston next month for the national Olympic trials. Hooks, University football and boxing star, won three decisions in the sectional tryouts. Tim Dugas, Spring Hill college, Ala., was the victim in the finals, Hooks leading all the way. Tuesday night Hooks put out Walker Smith, of Fort Bennings, in the semi-finals. In his first match, Tuesday afternoon, the Red and Black boxer piled up a margin of points sufficient to take the decision from Wilkes, of the Mobile athletic club. Bobby Hooks, with the winners in the other five weight divisions, re ceived madals and will go to Bos ton for the United States trials in April. In press dispatches from Mobile, sports writers named the University of Georgia representative as the out standing boxer entered in the tryouts. He was picked to win In his division before he went to the finals. Hooks had an unsurpassed record during the past boxing season.

The Tammany rep resentative polled 196 votes. Hoover, a. Republican candidate, allowed rather surprising strength, taking second place with 60 votes. Reed, Democratic senator from Mis souri, was the choice of 31 voters. Vice-president Charles 0. Dawes took fourth position on the ticket and second place among Republi can possibilities with 24 ballots. Walsh and Ritchie, Democrats, led the minor contestants with 12 and 10 votes, respectively. Three Repub licans, Lowden, Willis, and Curtis followed with seven, five, and three votes, in the order named. Scattered votes cast In a spirit of fun nominated national and local figures of more or less prominence. A few other ballots were thrown out because they failed to qualify with the terms of the voting, some persons having named one candidate In each party, while the conditions called for only one choice on the whole ticket. Figures on the balloting here were wired to The Independent, which will (Continued on page 7) The line-up for the game with Mercer Friday opening the college season for Georgia follows: Waller, pitcher; Keating, catcher; Nash, first base; Davenport, second base; Chaf fin, shortstop; Johnson, third base; Shiver, centerfield; Jacobson, letft- field; and either Steele or Flowers In rlghtfleld. The Mercer Bears arrive In Athens growling for revenge on the Bulldogs for defeating them for the thirty- something consecutive time on the gridiron last fall. Although the Bull dogs have ever reigned supreme over the Bears in football, such has not always been the case on the dia mond. Time after time the Bruins have upset the Georgia calculations in baseball, so many times in fact that the Georgians have come to recognize them as a worthy foe in baseball. All preparations are being made to repel successfully the Ma con Invaders. Following quickly on the heels of the Mercer encounters come games with Kentucky on Monday and Tues day, with Maryland on Thursday aud Friday, then a jaunt down to Macon to take the Bruins on In their own lair. All in all It looks like a busy week for the Bulldog baseballers. Practices have become Intensified since the little game with the Giants In which the Bulldog of Georgia got only one little nip at the trousers of the mighty Giants and were forced to be satisfied with a 11 to 1 score. The varsity has been opposing the freshmeji frequently during the past week in an effort to smooth out the rough spots In the teams’ play. Davenport is taking Freeman’s place at second base and ha6 been perform ing very creditably In the practices. Steele will be the only other substi tute in the game Friday, If Buck Flowers is not eligible. Nash and Shiver, the Ruth and Gehrig combination of the Bulldogs, have been pounding the ball with a will of late and seem pointed to wards a bit of slugging for the sea son. Chaffin has been playing his (Continued on page 8.) Date for Spring Dances Changed To April 20-21 The dates for the Spring dances have been rhanged from April 26, 27, 28 to April 20 and 21, according to Billy Young, president of the Pan- Hellenic council. The reason for the change was stated to be that the baseball team would be on a road trip during the original dates. They play the University of Alabama here on the latter two dates set. Tea dances will be held for the first time In WoodrufT hall during these festivities, the S. A. E. frater nity staging one Friday afternoon. Negotiations have been under way for the past few weeks with several different orchestras, but no one has been definitely selected. Oliver Nay lor, Weldemeyer, and Ted Weems are the music-makers under consid eration, but Naylor’s Pennsylvanians will most probably be contracted, ac cording to the president of the council.
