THE SCROLL. 60^meet, having her entire team entered. Bro. "Jack" Chambers was managerof this year's track team, and he arranged a schedule that gave the teamample opportunities to show its prowess in track athletics, a hitherto sadlyneglected branch at Tulane. The baseball team has been very unsuccessfulowing to the absence of three men who remained at home to participate inthe track meet when the baseball team took its long and disastrous tripthrough Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee. However, we defeatedLouisiana State Universitj two out of four games, and one was ashut out. We have recently enjoyed several visits from Bro. Steen, Mississippi,'00, former province president. He was in the city several days forthe Tulane—Mississippi baseball games. This year's Jambalaya (annual)is out, and is by far the best annual ever gotten out at Tulane. The lawand medical departments of the universitj' have closed and the other departmentswill soon be in the midst of examinations. There have lately beenmade several efforts to organize a pan-hellenic league at Tulane, but themovement bids fair to be a failure, on account of the failure of several fraternitiesto agree to enter the league.Tulane again defeated Texas in debate, making four times out of sixthat Tulane has won this debate. Bro. Russell is assistant business managerof The Tulane Weekly from the academic department, Bro. Chappins succeedsBro. Ansley as business manager from the law department. Althoughthe fraternities here can't agree to enter a pan-hellenic council for variousreasons, there is one thing that each and every one does agree on and thatis that they are strongly opposed to any other fraternity establishing a chapterhere, for there is absolutely no room for any others.Louisiana Alpha has enjoyed A most prosperous year, we have more thanheld our own with the other fraternities and have also pledged four men fornext session. Of this year's chapter we lose Bros. Chambers, Robinson andAnsley by graduation and Bros. Meyer and Upton by withdrawal from college.Louisiana Alpha wishes all of her sister chapters a pleasant vacation,and earnestly requests any Phis in New Orleans during vacation to visit us.We again thank our alumni for the interest that they have taken in thechapter and for the many ways that sojiie of them have assisted us duringpast session; and we request them to notify the reporter of any eligible menthat expect to enter Tulane next year.EDWARD C. ANSLEY.New Orleans, May 24, 1906.'TEXAS BETA, UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS.The last term of this the most successful year of the university is drawing toa close, and all are looking forward to commencement and its attendantfestivities.That a bad beginning brings a good ending, has been well illustrated inthe baseball season of 1906. Two spectacular games with A. & M. Collegeclosed the schedule, and resulted in two victories for Texas. In track athleticsour college has not been over vigorous; the tri-staie meet at New Orleansgiving us third place, and the southwestern meet at Oklahoma favoringus with second place. However, the three men who represented us atthe latter meet all made good records and with a larger team Texas wouldhave undoubtedly have been the winner of the meet.The Texas representatives in the debate with Missouri received the unanimousdecision of the judges. Bro. Pope distinguished himself on that occasion,and on his return spoke flatteringly of Missouri Alpha which entertainedhim during his stay at Missouri. In the other two debates, with Tulaneand Baylor, Texas was the loser.
