RURAL SENIOR BOY DECLAIMERS WHO 00NTESTED FOR STATE HONORS, 11122 INTRODUCTION 
What is now known as the University Interscholastic League was organized in Dccembe1', 1910, at the State Teachers' Meeting at Abilene. For the first year the League's activities were confined to debates among the high schools affiliated with the University. The following year contests in declamation were added and mem­bership in the League was thrown open to all the schools of the State below college rank. Subsequently there were also added con­tests in spelling, essay writing, athletics, and music memory. 
In 1911 a total of 28 schools joined the League; 128 in 1912; 248 in 1913; 503 in 1914; 810 in 1915; 1206 in 1916; 2268 in 1917; 2275 iu 1918; 2432 in 1919; 3345 in 1920; 4095 in 1921; and 3627 in 1922. It is hoped and expected that during the coming year 5000 schools will join for participation in one or more of the various contests in debate, declamation, essay writing, spelling, athletics, and music memory. 
This League is the most highly organized and has the largest mem­bership of any similar school organization in the United States. Its purpose is to organize and direct desirable school activities, and thereby assist in preparing pupils for citizenship. The organization should have the active cooperation of every school teacher in Texas, and every school in Texas, no matter how small, . should become an active member. 
Special attention is called to the following matters: 
1. 
First of all, aim to secure a good live county organization and have every school in the county, no matter how small, join the League. "One hundred per cent county membership" should be the slogan. As the membership of the League increases, emphasis should more and more be placed on county meets, since it is here that the schools as a whole receive the most benefits from the League's acitvities. Interest yourself in securing the participation of all the rural schools. Look on page 70 and see if your county is on the honor roll of 100 per cent county membership. By all means collect the membership fees dur­ing the institute. 

2. 
The fees of the small schools have been lightened, and the gradation made upon the number of students enrolled during the preceding year rather than upon the number of teachers, as hereto­fore. Please note that it is only among the common schools and the ward schools that this provision takes effect. The CJ-ass B school fee is still $5, and the Class A school fee is still $8. 

3. 
Please note that a transfer rule Article VIII, Rule 14, has been adopted, and also that Article VIII, Rule 15, provides that in 


Univen;ity of Te;ms Bulletin 
oider to be eligible for Interscholastic competition, a contestant must have attended at least half of the year said contestant was last ir. school. 
4. 
A radical revision of points awarded in county championship has been ~ade, and provision included for declaring all-round cham­pionship in three different divisions. (See Article XI, Section 1.) 

5. 
A contest in Music Memory has been installed, for details of which, see pp. 50-54. 

6. 
Note that the full directorate of the various districts is not published, as it is thought better to issue this information in a sep­arate leaflet after the school year begins, and when it is possible to know with more certainty the locations of superintendents, principals and teachers. 

7. 
The question for debate is, "Resolved, that an amendment to the Texas State Constitution should be adopted providing for a three-mill tax for the support of the State's higher educational insti­tutions; and that supplementary appropriations by the Legislature should be prohibited." The bulletin on the debate question will be furnished to member-schools only on request. Schools wishing to enter the ·debating contests are entitled to two free copies of this bul­letin; additional copies, 15 cents each (stamps not acceptable). De­bating squads composed of University students can usually be sent to debate the League question, when desired, provided a given school or community can arrange to defray the traveling expenses of the two speakers belonging to a squad.

ARTICLE VI 
Contests 
SECTION 1. This League shall hold, annually, the following con­tests: 
(a) 
City Contests as provided in Section 5 of this article. 

(b) 
County Contests in: Debate for high schools, girls and boys separate divisions; tennis doubles and singles for boys and girls; sub­junior, junior; and senior spelling; junio~ and senior declamation for boys and girls, separate high school and rural school divisions; essay writing (four divisions) ; boys' basketball; track and field events for boys Class' A_and Class B; junior boys' athletic events; volleyball for girls; music memory as prescribed, pp. 50-54. 

(c) 
District and State Contests shall be uniform with those held in the county, with the exception of certain optional contests herein suggested; and with the exce·ption of spelling contest in the district, which is discontinued, and basketball for which see_"State Tourna­ment." 


SEC. 2. Time of Holding the Contests.-Final county contests shall be held during March or the first week in April, 0district contests not later than two weeks prior to the State Meet, and the final State con­test on the first Friday and Saturday in May. 
SEC. 3. Sub-county Contests. In counties where there are a large number of schools belonging to the League, it is a good plan to provide. for sub-county contests. However, unless the county membership consists of twenty-five schools or more, such sub-county contests should be for the purpose of practice, arousing local interest, and furnishing a means of developing community spirit, and not for the purpose of eliminating contestants for the county finals, except perhaps in basketball. Whenever twenty-five or more schools in the county belong to the League, the County Executive Committee may divide the county into not more than four districts and provide a time and place for sub-county contests, eliminating all but the three highest ranking schools in debate and ·declamation; and the highest ranking schocls in tennis and in basketball. (The purpose of this section is to provide for optional elimination contests only in such counties where the number of contestants in a given •vent will probably be so 

z 
...... 
The Interscho'lastic League Division 
large as to render it difficult to schedule the contests at the County Meet.) 
SEC. 4. County Contests.-The County Executive Committee shall fix the time (see Section 2 above) and place of the county contests and announce the same to all the schools in the county at least one month before the time specified for holding the same. (It is well for the county teachers' institute to elect the County Committee several days before the institute adjourns so that the committee may organize and decide upon plans for the county contests for announcement dur­ing the session of the institute.) 
SEC. 5. City Contests.-Cities having a white scholastic population cf 4000 or more according to the last published enumeration of scho­lastic population by the State Department of Education, are not elig­ible to the county contests. It may send contestants direct to the District Meet in the following events: debate, declamation, essay writing, tennis, track and music memory. (See Article IX, Section 2.) 
SEC. 6. Dwtrict Contests.-It shall be the duty of the District Ex­ecutive Committee to announce the time and place of the district con­tests at least one month before the time set for holding the same and to communicate with and assist county officers of the League in re­gard to matters pertaining to the county and district contests. Only the winners in the different events in the county contests shall be eligible to participate in the district contests in debate, declamation, tennis, essay writing, athletics, and music memory, except the win­ners in these events in each city having 4000 white scholastics may enter the district contests under the conditions specified in the pre­ceding section. 
ARTICLE VII 
Who May Enter the Different Contests 
SECTION 1. The Junior Di11ision.-The Junior division is open only to boys and girls under 14 and over 10 years of age the first day of September preceding. (See Section 7 of this article.) Furthermore, the Junior division in declamation is not open to any pupils who have been regularly promoted to the ninth grade, nor to any pupils in a high school or junior high school, whe.re there are one or more com­plete ward or elementary schools under a separate principal and in a separate building from the high school. Pupils under fourteen years of age who are ineligible, under this rule, for the Junior division in declamation, may enter the Senior division. ·

and is open only to pupils who were under ten years of age on the 
first day of September preceding the contest.

SEC. 6. The same contestant shall not be eligible to represent his school in more than one of the public speaking contests in the same year. 
[Note.-There is Ill) other absolute rule against double representa­tion, but since elimination contests in debate, declamation, tennis, and track are held concurrently at the State Meet, it is inadvisable for a contestant to attempt to enter more than one of the contests.] 
SEC 7. Age Limit.-The age limits as prescribed in this article and elsewhere in this constitution shall be determined by the age of a pupil on the first day of the preceding September. (If a student had reached his or her twenty-first birthday on or before the first of the preceding Setember, such student is ineligible for any contest. A boy or girl who has reached his or her fourteenth birthday by that date is ineligible for the junior contests, excepting the case men­tioned in Section 1 with regard to the declamation contests.)

ARTICLE IX 
Relations Between County, District, and State Contests 
SECTION 1. Contestants from cities designated as counties in Ar­ticle VI are barred from county contests, but may enter the district contest direct, subject to the provisions of Article VI, Section 5. 
The Interscholastic League Division 
SEC. 2. In the district contest, the following from each county shall be eligible to compete: The winning teams in debate, the win­ning teams of boys and girls in tennis doubles, the winners in tennis singles, boys and girls, the first ranking essays in all four divisions of essay writing, the winners in Junior and Senior declamation for girls and also for boys, winners in rural school declamation, boys and girls, Junior and Senior, and winners of first and second places in any track or field event. 
[Note.-The district executive committee may arrange for additional contests-see Article VI, Section 1-but unless there is a general de­mand, it is better to confine the district meeting to those contests wherefrom the winners go on to the State Meet.] 
SEC. 3. In the final State contest, the following shall be eligible to compete: The winners in the district contests in debate, tennis doubles and singles for boys and girls, Junior, Senior, high school, and rural school declamation for girls and boys, the first ranking essay in the essay contest, and winners of first or second places in any track or field event.

ARTICLE XII 
Expenses. and Rebates 
SECTION 1. In the county and district contests, the prizes offered and the traveling expenses of contestants and of judges shall be pro­vided for as the respective directors may determine. Admission charges to local, county, and district contests may be made when deemed advisable. 
Si;:c. 2. At the final contests at the University the visiting contes­tants shall bear their own expenses in the first instance. The State Executive Committee, however, shall devote the amount received in membership and entry fees, after defraying necessary expenses not covered by University appropriations, to the payment of rebates of railroad fares to Austin and return at the reduced rates offered each year. Such rebates shall be based on railroad fares only, and shall not include sleeper, meals, or other expenses. The rebates shall be payable to the principal of each school which is represented by actual participation in the preliminary and final contests in either debate, declamation, or athletics, and including one teacher from each par­ticipating school. Not more than five track contestants from any one school shall be entitled to rebate of railroad fares. The State Ex­ecutive Committee may in its discretion limit, by due notice, the num­ber of delegates from distant points that shall be entitled to such rebates. 
In order to equalize the burden of traveling expenses for the more 
University of Texas Bulletin 
distant schools, and conditioned upon available funds as estimated below, in case the fare and a half to Austin is not over $10, no rebate will be paid; if the fare and a half is more than $10 but not more than $20, delegates shall receive, say, 40 per cent rebate; if more than $20, 60 per cent rebate. The foregoing are merely the propor­tional percentages. It is hoped that the receipts of membership fees will permit an increase in the percentages named in each case. In 1922, percentages were sixty and eighty, respectively. 
ARTICLE XIII 
Disputes 
All disputes among the members of the League shall be settled by the appropriate executive committee. A county or district executive committee may, if desired, submit a case in dispute to the State Ex­ecutive Committee for adjudication. Others who feel that they have a just cause for complaint against a county or district executive com­mittee may appeal the case, excepting the selection and decisions of officers or judges of contests, to the State Executive Committee for final decision; in which instance a written statement of facts shall be presented both by the appellant and by the county or district executive committee; provided that all protests of whatever nature must be made in writing within twenty-four houri!! after the contest. 
ARTICLE XIV 
Annual i\!leeUn,q 
SECTION 1. The annual meeting of the League shall be held on Saturday at 9 a. m. during the annual State Meet. At the annual meeting, matters pertainiz,ig to the League shall be discussed and recommendations made to the State Executive Committee regarding any changes in the rules for the next year's contest. Each school be­longing to the League shall be entitled to one vote at this meeting. A school having no representative present may vote by duly authorized proxy. 
ARTICLE XV 
Amendments 
All amendments to the constitution and rules of the League shall be made by the State Executive Committee, provided, that all ma­
The Interscholastic League Division 
terial changes in the eligibility and other rules which do not involve a question of University policy shall first be submitted to the members of the League at the annual meeting for an advisory vote; or in a case considered an emergency, the State Executive Committee may submit a proposed change for a referendum vote to the member­schools. 

RULES IN PUBLIC SPEAKING 
FOREWORD 
Please bear in mind that the primary purpose of these contests is, as the constitution states, "to foster in the schools of Texas the study a.nd practice of public speaking and debate as an aid in the prepara­tion for citizenship.' The League exists not for a few schools that may have exceptionally fine speakers, but rather to stimulate all the schools to develop in their pupils a talent for clear-cut, sincere and effective speaking before an audience. 
With the large membership which the League has now attained, the county contests must be more and more emphasized, since it is obvious that very few of the speakers who participate in the county contests can possibly go to the district and state contests. The principal who waits to enter his pupil for a contest until he can turn out a winning debating team will probably never develop a winning team. Moreover, this shows a wrong attitude towards the contests and encourages an unwholesome school spirit. Remember that the contests are only a means to an end, and hence the me!"e fact of winning should not be taken too seriously. 
Particularly in the public speaking contests, wherein no absolute standards of judging are possible, teachers and students should guard against questioning the decisions of the judges. See that the rules of the contest are observed, and then leave the result absolutely to the judges. Squabbling over decisions is unsportsmanlike, and this prac­tice has been altogether too common among even the teachers. It is fine training for both teachers and pupils to learn how to lose as well as how to win. 
RULES IN DEBATE 
1. 
Divisions.-There shall be two debates to which all schools are eligible, a debate for boys and one for girls; so that boys debate with boys, and girls with girls. 

2. 
Eligibility.-Each school belonging to the League may be rep­resented by a team of two boys and also by a team of two girls. The debaters shall be subject to the eligibility rules contained in Ar­ticle VIII of the constitution of this League. No student can repre­sent his school in any one year in more than one of the public speak­ing contests. .I<'ormer winners of first honors in the state are barred. 


Question for Debate.-The question for debate for the year 1922­1923 is, Resolved, That an amendment to the Texas State Constitution should be adopted providing for a three-mill tax for the support of the State's higher educational institutions; and that supplementary appro­priations by the Legislature should be prohibited. Unless by consent of both teams concerned, the question in all preliminary debates shall be the one assigned for the final contest and all debaters shall be prepared to speak on either side of this question. (For date limits of county and district contests, see Article VI, Section 2.) 
3. 
Choice of Sides.-In all contests sides shall be determined either by mutual consent or by lot. Whenever a series of preliminary con­tests are held, the winning teams in a given contest shall immediately choose sides for the next contest. 

4. 
Coaching for Debate.-Aside from the bulletins and loan ma­terial furnished by the University, and other reading matter, the assistance furnished contestants in preparing debates shall not ex­ceed the following: (a) aid in outlining the arguments; (b) citing sources of information; ( c) correcting errors in English; and ( d) suggestions as to delivery. Whenever a debater quotes at any length the words of another, that fact must be plainly stated. Proof that either member of a debating team has received assistance other than as above specified, or that quoted matter is used at any considerable length without giving due credit therefor, shall disqualify such team in all League contests for that year. 

5. 
Coaching During a Debate.-In all contests the debaters shall be separated from the audience and shall receive no coaching while the debate is in progress. By "coaching" is meant viva voce or other prompting either by the speaker's colleague or by any other person while a debater ha~ the floor. A debater may, however, refer to his notes or manuscript. 

6. 
Exclusion of Interested Schools.-lt shall be considered dis... honorable for the pupils or teachers of one school to visit the debates of another when the two schools are likely to meet on the same ques­tion or to employ any other means of securing in advance the argu­



The Interscholastic League Division 
ments ·of a prospective opposing team.. It shall be the duty of the presiding officer to enforce this rule, and in case of its willful viola­tion the facts shall be submitted to the State Executive Committee for such action as it deems proper. 
7. No Cheering.-In order to guard against "rooting," no cheer­ing shall be permitted during the debate, and the presiding officer shall see that this rule is strictly enforced. 
8. The time and order of speeches shall be as follows: 
MAIN 
Affirmative, 10' minutes. Negative, 10 minutes. Affirmative, 10 minutes. Negative, 10 minutes. 
REBUTTAL 
Affirmative, 4 minutes. 
Negative, 5 minutes. 
Affirmative, 4 minutes. 
Negative, 5 minutes. 
Affirmative rejoinder, 3 minutes 

Either side may reverse the order of its speakers in rebuttal from that of the main speeches; and either one of the affirmative speakers may take the closing rejoinder. 
9. 
Judges.-The judges for the public speaking contests shall be at least three or other odd number, selected on the basis of capability and impartiality. The judges for the county and district contests shall be chosen by the appropriate executive committee, subject to the approval of a majority of the schools concerned. For the final con­tests at the University the judges shall be chosen by the State Ex­ecutive Committee. The judges shall sit apart during a contest, in order to hear the speakers from different parts of the auditorium. [Note.-The Director of Public Speaking shall not fail to submit in advance to interested schools the names of proposed judges and to: secure the approval of at least a majority of such schools. Especial care, too, should be used in selecting judges. This matter should be attended to in advance, and not left for a hit-or-miss choice at the time of the contest.] 

10. 
Schools Represented Not to Be Known by the Judges.-So far as possible, the judges shall not know the school a debating team represents, the contestants being designated as being on the "affirma-· tive" or "negative" side.

Wins Boys' Debate 


RAYMOND GERHARDT JULIUS NAYFACH 
11. 
Instruction to Judges.-A copy of the following instructions shall be given to e.ach judge: "The judges, who shall sit apart dur­ing the debate, shall judge the contest as a debate, voting without consultation 'Affirmative' or 'Negative' on the merits of the debate, irrespective of their individual opinions as to the merits of the ques­tion. In deciding which team has done the more effective debating, the judges shall take into consideration argument and delivery in both main and rebuttal speeches. In cases of doubt (that is, where the two teams are about equally balanced) argument shall be stressed relatively more than delivery and rebuttal work than the main speeches. At the close of the debate each judge shall indicate his choice by ballot and deliver it to the presiding officer, who shall inspect the ballots in the presence of the representative of each school and announce the decision." 

12. 
Final Contest.-The winning boys' and girls' teams, respec­tively, in each district contest shall meet at the University on the 


University. of Texas Bulletin 
first Friday in May, when preliminary debates shall be held until 
two teams in each division shall have been chosen for the final con­
tests. In the first preliminaries the State Executive Committee shall, 
; so far as practicable, group the schools represented so that schools of 

approximately equal size may debate against each other. 
[Note.-Debating squads of University students can usually be 
sent to debate the League question, when desired, provided a given 
school or community arranges to pay the traveling expenses of the 
two speakers composing each squad. Sometimes two or more neigh­
boring schools unite in arranging for such an exhibition.] 
RULES IN DECLAMATION 
1. Eligibility.-There shall be eight contests in declamation: a Senior and Junior, high school and rural school contest, for both boys and girls. (For eligibility rules generally, see Articles VII and VIII.) No student can represent his school in any one year in more than one of the public speaking contests, and former winners of first honors in a state contest in a given division are barred. A school may enter a contestant only in the division in which such school belongs. 
2. Declamations for Junior and Senior Boys and for Senior Girls. -The declamations required in these divisions shall consist of prose selections lying in the general field of Americanism or good citizen­
ship. This requirement may 
be fulfllled by a selection deal­
ing with (1) the fundamental 
qualities or virtues necessary 
for good citizenship, (2) a 
story or exposition ·of noted 
events or characters that have 
contributed to the making of 
America, (3) patriotic selec­
tions, ( 4) discussion of a pres­
ent-day public question or is­
sue. In general, the subjects 
to be used are intended to lead 
the students to study the prob­
lems of our American system 
of government and to incite in 
speakers and hearers aspira­
tions toward a better citizen­
ship. A declamation must not 
require more than five minutes 
in delivery. Poetic quotations 
may be included in a prose 
selection provided the selection 
as a whole contains more prose 
than poetry. Humor may be 
included, but purely "funny" 
pieces will not be allowed. 
The purpose of these contests 
Ora Mae Taliaferro (Denton) is to train pupils as public
Winner Junior Girls' Declamation, High 
School Division, 1922 speakers and not as dramatic 
readers or mere entertainers. Therefore, a selection should be chosen which the speaker adopts as his own for the purpose of informing, convincing, or persuading the

Senior Girls' Declamation Winners 


MYRTH WILLIAMS, Abilene, KATHERINE ROBERTS, Bellaire Winner High School Division, 1922 School, Winner Rural School Division, 1922 
audience he is addressing on a present-day subject relating to the opportunities and duties of American citizenship. In case selections of the prescribed character are not chosen, the judges shall disre­gard such selections in the grading and the decision of the judges shall be final. (Please Mte that hereafter the judges in the various contests are to pass upon the matter of the declamations, and selec­tions are no longer to be submitted to the State Office for ap­proval. The sources previously prescribed may be used, and it is expected that another declamation bulletin will be issued for which a charge of 25c will be made to cover the cost of printing.) 
3. Declamations for Junior Girls.-In the Junior girls division selections from standard poetry shall be delivered of not more than five minutes in length. A general guide as to the nature of the selec­tions desired is any of the poems contained in the school basic and supplementary readers. The selections chosen must not be in the nature of dramatic readings, must be in good English, and must not 
The Interscholastic League Division 
be in dialect or require impersonation. The purpose of this contest is to add to the mental enrichment of the pupils by the memorizing of standard poetry and to enable them to give a sincere, intelligent, and effective oral interpretation of the same to an audience. In case selections of this character are not delivered, the judges shall dis­regard such speaker in the grading and the decision of the judges shall be final. (Note.-The requirement of standard poetry offers such a wide range of choice that we are not attempting to designate specific sources. There are a large number of good anthologies, a list of which has been previously published in the Interscholastic Leaguer, and will be published again the November number. Please note that a selection may be made over-dramatic in its delivery which is not necessarily over-dramatic per se. The preceding rule, therefore, prescribes that the judges shall pass upon this question hereafter and the State Office will no longer attempt to approve of selections in advance.) 
4. 
Length of Declamations.-No declamation in the county, dis­trict or state contest shall exceed five minutes in length. [See also section 9; fast sentence.] 

5. 
Programs of County and District Contests.-The order of speak­ing in the county and district contests shall be determined by lot. In the county contests each school and in the district contests each county (also cities as per Article VI, Section 5) shall regularly be repre­sented by one speaker in each contest; that is, a boy and a girl for each of the four divisions. The winner in each division-senior girl, senior boy, junior girl, junior boy, in both the high school and in the rural school divisions-go on to the district and state contests. 

6. 
Programs of Final Contests.-Elimination contests among the thirty-two district winners in each division shall be held at the Uni­


. versity on the first Friday in May. The number in each division shall be reduced to three as a result of two preliminary contests, the sur­vivors to compete in the final contest at times and places to be an­nounced prior to the State Meet. The order of speaking in the elim­ination and final contests at the University shall be identical with the numbered order of the districts, beginning with District No. 8 (Den­ton) in 1922-1923 and moving up one number each successive year. 
7. 
No Cheering.-In order to guard against "rooting," no cheer­ing shall be permitted during a contest, and the chairman shall see that this rule is strictly enforced. . 

8. 
No Coaching.-No speaker shall be coached or prompted in any manner during the delivery of the declamation. 

9. 
Timekeepers.-At each contest there shall be a timekeeper, who shall notify the speaker and the presiding officer, by ringing a bell, or other signal, when the speaker has consumed the time limit of five minutes, in which case the speaker shall be required to conclude in one-half minute. It shall be the duty of the presiding officer to enforce 





The Interscholastic League Division 
this rule, but exceeding the time-limit shall in no way affect the grad­ing of the judges. 
10. Judges.-The judges in declamation shall be selected as pr&­scribed in the Rules for Debate. 
11. Instructions to Judges in the Divisions for Senior and Junior Boys and Senior Girls.-The judges in these divisions shall receive following instructions: 
"This is a. contest in delivery only, the speeches not being orig­inal productions. Each declama­tion in this contest must be on a subject lying in the general field of Americanization or good citi­zenship. This requirement may be fulfilled by a selection dealing with (1) the fundamental qual­ities or virtues necessary for good citizenship, (2) a story or exposition of noted events or characters that have contributed to the making of America, (3) patriotic selections, and (4) a discussion of a present-day pub­lic question or issue. The basis of judging each contestant shall be general effectiveness as a speaker. In case of doubt, the qualities of naturalness, earn­estness, and force shall count relatively more than polish and gracefulness. Whenever selec­tions are given that do not con­form to the requirements of sub­ject matter as previously stated, such speaker shall be disregard­ed in teh ranking." 
12. Instructions to Judges in FRED T. COUPER, Wichita Falls, the Junior, G1rrls Contest.-The 
Winner High School Senior Boys' judges in this division shall re-i...,.____D_e_c_la_m_ a_t_io_n_,_ 1_9_2_2____ ceive the following instructions: 
"This is a contest in delivery only, the speeches not being original productions. The purpose is to test the speaker's power in the way of a sincere, intelligent, discriminating, and effective oral interpreta­tion of some standard poetical selection. Such selection must con­sist of standard poetry. It must not be in dialect or require imper­sonation, nor a selection in the nature of a dramatic reading. No 

40 
University of Texas Bulletin 
speaker shall employ any extrinsic assistance in the interpretation of the poem, such, for example, as.the carrying of a flag or other em­blem. The judges should note also that one selection may be more interesting and appealing in itself than another, but the test is, which speaker best interprets her particular selection. Among the elements of delivery, a good interpretation and proper discrimination a clear and sympathetic expression of the thought and emotion con­tained in the poem, naturalness, directness, earnestness and force 
shall be stressed relatively more than gesticulation or grace. Al­though appropriate gestures may properly, be employed, any at­tempt to picture all ·the thoughts and emotions in a poem by ges­ture should lower the rank of such speaker. In other words, a since!re, straight-forward, in­telligent, and smypathetic rendi­tion is to be given higher rank than an over-dramatic or showy manner of delivery." 
At the close of the contest each judge shall rank the speakers by the numbers 1, 2, 3, etc. A speaker ranked first by a ma­jority of the judges shall be awarded first place. In case no speaker is ranked first by a ma­jority of the judges, the contest­ant the sum of whose rank is least shall be awarded first place. The speakers receiving second and third places, respectively, shalll be determined. in the same manner; that is, a speaker awarded sec­ond 'place (or higher rank) by a majority of the judges shall be 
----------------"'"' ranked second, and so on. The ranks of the contestants shall be computed either by the judges them­selves or by a committee appointed for that purpose. In case of a tie in ranking, honors shall be divided accordingly, but the judges in the county and district contests shall determine by majority vote which speaker shall go on to the district or state meet. So far as possible, judges shall not know what school a contestant represents, and the grades of an individual judge shall not be divulged. As a result of 
The Interscholastic League Division 
the contest, the presiding officer, or some one selected by him, shall announce the names of the speakers awarded first, second, and third places, respectively, and also the school each represents. 
[Note.-Grading blanks will bei furnished by the State Office, upon application.]

One of these persons conducting the contest shall be designated by the Directo~ as timekeeper, and when two hours shall have elapsed from the time when the Director writes the subjects on the board, all of the manuscripts shall be gathered up and delivered to the Director of Essay Writing, fifteen minutes warning of the time limit to be given to the contestants by the timekeeper. 
The County Director shall select a committee of three properly qualified and impartial judges, exclusive of teachers whose schools are represented in the contest, to grade the essays as to relative ex­cellence in organization, interest, and composition. The elements of organization and interest shall be stressed, in judging, relatively more than composition. The judge shall denote the best essay in each division, respectively, among those submitted. The County Director of Essay Writing shall open the envelopes accompanying the best es­say in each division as denoted by the judges, shall enclose the num­bered slip, giving real name, county, school and postoffice of contes­tant in another sealed envelope, writing thereon author's number and county. The winning essay in each division with accompanying envel­opes, shall be forwarded not later than ten days after the county meet to the Director of Essay Writing of the district in which the county is situated, accompanied by a certified statement by the County Di­rector of Essay Writing to the effect that the county essay contest was conducted in accordance with the rules. 
[Note.-It is suggested that members of the faculty of neighboring colleges or normal schools may often be secured to read and grade these essays.] 
5. 
District Contest.-The essays selected as a result of the county contest within a given district shall be judged by a committee of three to be selected by the District Director of Essay Writing, exclusive of teachers whose schools are represented in the contest. The district director shall follow Rule 4, foregoing, in handling the essays and obtaining decisions in the district. The winning essays in each divi­sion of the district contest shall be forwarded not later than April 20 to the University Interscholastic League, Austin, Texas. 

6. 
Final Contest.-The essays submitted as provided in the pre­ceding section shall be judged by a committee of three to be selected by the President of the University, and the authors of essays that are first, second, and third highest in rarik in each division shall be 



The Interscholastic League Division 
respectively awarded gold, silver, and bronze medals. To each school whose pupil wins first place shall be awarded (for one year) the University Interscholastic League cup for essay writing. 
7. Publication.-The names of the winners shall be announced at the annual State Meeting of the Interscholastic League, and the State Executive Committee reserves the option of publishing any of the essays. 
Caution.-Please note that only the highest ranking essay in the respective contests in each division is to be forwarded. That is, each county sends not more than four essays to the district, the district sends not more than four to the State Office. 
RULES IN SPELLING AND PLAIN WRITING CONTEST 
1. 
Eligibility.-Each school in the League may enter a junior, a sub-junior, and a senior team of two in the county contests in spelling, provided such contestants are eligible under the rules set forth in Article VIII of this constitution. The contestants in spelling may be either boys or girls. 

2. 
Classification.-In the county contests there shall be a Junior, a Senior, and a sub-junior division. 

3. 
Sources.-The words for the spelling contests shall be taken from a list furnished by the League, classified, respectively, as the "Junior List," "Senior List," and "Sub-Junior List." Each school in the League shall be entitled to one free copy of the lists. 

4. 
County Contest.-The county contest shall be conducted in the following manner: 


(a) 
The contestant shall come to his appropriate division provided with ordinary theme-tablet paper, and with either lead pencil or pen and ink. 

(b) 
The Director of Spelling or person appointed by him shall number slips of paper to correspond to the numbers at the head of the columns of the Junior list, if it is a Junior contest, and the num­bers at the head of the columns of the Senior list if it is the Senior contest, and the numbers at the head of the columns of the Sub­Junior list, if it is a Sub-junior contest, fold the slips and place them in a hat or other convenient receptacle. Another person shall then draw a slip from the hat. The person conducting the contest shall then begin pronouncing words to the contestants beginning at the top of the column indicated on the slip. In the case of the Junior and Senior contests, he shall proceed for forty minutes pronouncing the words in their consecutive order at the rate of six words per min­ute, i. e., a word every ten seconds. If it happens that he is brought before the end of the forty minutes to the last word of the list, he shall turn back to the first word of the list and continue to pro­nounce the words in their regular order until the forty minutes is up. 


(Attention.-Teachers should remember that this test has a time-ele­ment in it, and should drill their pupils with this in view. Naturally, a slow writer should be eliminated in the local contest, no matter how good a speller he may be. No time should be wasted in giving defini­tions or discussions with the contestants concerning the meaning of words. Contestants are supposed to be so familiar with their list that a mere phrase should be sufficient to indicate the meaning of a word when the meaning determines the spelling. The pronouncer should say the word "plural' after every pural noun which he pro­nounces and "past" after each verb in the past tense. Pupils whose writing is not legible should be eliminated in the local contest. 
The Interscholastic League Divis'ion 
(c) 
At the end of forty minutes, five minutes rest is given during which time contestants may correct their papers. If it is a Senior contest the pronouncer shall draw from slips numbered to correspond tc> the columns of the junior list, and then pronounce to the seniors from the junior list at the top of the column drawn for twenty min­utes at the same rate. If it is a junior contest, the sub-junior list shall be used in the same way to fill out the hour. 

(d) 
The pronouncer shall pronounce words from the sub-junior list starting as previously prescribed in the case of Junior and Senior contests to sub-juniors for thirty minutes, at the rate of six words per minute. 

(e) 
Three judges of the contest may, at the option of the Director, be appointed to see that the contest is conducted fairly. Contestants should be separated from each other as far as space in the room permits, and any attempt on the part of a contestant to copy from another should be noted by the judges or pronouncer, who shall report to the Director, who may disqualify the contestant. 

(f) 
The contestant shall write his or her name in the upper right hand corner of the first page of the manuscript, his school, county, and his postoffice address. 

(g) 
The papers shall be gathered up immediately after the close of the contest by the pronouncer and be delivered to the Director of Spelling, or person acting for him. He shall appoint three competent judges to grade the spelling papers, none of whom shall be connected with any of the schools entered in the contest. 


INSTRUCTION TO JUDGES 
1. 
The correct spelling of a word consists in writing legibly the letters which compose it in their proper order. 

2. 
The first authority is the spelling list, which follows in nearly every case the first spelling given in the last edition of Webster's International Dictionary. 

3. 
In case any word is misspelled in any edition of the spelling list, that word is not to be considered in grading the spelling papers. 

4. 
An undotted "i" or an uncrossed "t" is considered a miss, and any malformed letter which is illegible, if considered out of its context, is also considered a miss. [Note.-To determine whether or not a given letter is illegible, place a white piece of paper on either side of it thus separating it from its context and then see whether or not the character may be identified.] 

5. 
The misuse of an apostrophe or hyphen is considered a miss, and a mistake in capitalization is also considered a miss. 

6. 
Words are pronounced in regular order in the spelling list and any word omitted is a miss. In cases where all papers omit the 






The Interschol,astic League Division 
same woro, it is considered evidence that the pronouncer failed to give this word, so it is not considered a miss. 
7. See that each paper in the Junior and Senior contests has at least 360 words. If there are more than 360 words, do not consider the words from 361 on. See that each sub-junior paper contains at least 180 words. If there are more than 180 words in the sub-junior papers words from 181 on are not to be considered. 
One Hundred Per Cent Papers.-The Director of Spelling should 
forward all 100 per cent papers, that is, papers graded perfect by local 
committee, to the state office of the League. Here they will be re­
graded, and certificates awarded for perfect papers. Caution: Sand 
none except 100 per cent papers. 
Points Toward Championship.-The school whose spelling team 
makes the highest grade shall be awarded ten points; and the school 
whose spelling team wins second place shall be awarded five points 
toward county championship ; and team ranking third is awarded three 
points. In case of ties, points are evenly divided among or between 
tying teams. The same distribution of points applies in each division. 
(See schedule of points p. 25.) 
For convenience of schools wanting only the sub-junior list, we 
have made a special bulletin containing only the sub-junior words. 
If it is this bulletin you want, be sure to specify it. Otherwise, we 
shall take it for granted you want the bulletin containing all three 
lists. The scale of prices is as follows: 
Bulletin containing the three lists five cents per copy; fifty cents per dozen; three dollars per hundred. Bulletin containing the words for the sub-junior contest only, tw6 C€nts per copy; twenty-five cents per dozen; $1.50 per hundred. 
THE MUSIC MEMORY CONTEST 
FOREWORD 
The purpose of the Music Memory Contest is to cultivate among school children an appreciation of good music, to turn children away from a fondness for the coarser and more meaningless forms of musical composition to a genuine love for the classical productions of the great masters. This contest is no longer an experiment; its wonderful educational value has been proved in hundreds of school systems scattered over the entire country in the last few years. 
In order to participate successfully in this contest, a school or school system need not have a regular music supervisor. Any intel­ligent, energetic teacher may, with the helps which will be made available, successfully train students for this contest, provided the work is seasonably undertaken. 
To get the full educational value of the contest, all the students in the eligible grades should be given the training to begin with. In the first elimination, the number may be reduced by half; in the next elimination, the best fifty per cent of the remainder should be selected to continue the training, and so on until the school has selected, short­ly prior to the county contest, its Music Memory Team of two members for participation in that contest. 
RULES IN MUSIC MEMORY CONTEST 
1. Eligibility.-In addition to the general eligibility rules set forth in Article VIII of this Constitution and Rules, the following apply to this particular event: 
(a) 
In Independent Districts, only those students in grades from the fifth to the seventh, inclusive, are eligible. 

(b) 
In Rural Schools, students from any grade are eligible pro­vided they can satisfy the other eligibility requirements. 

(c) 
Either boys or girls may compose a music memory team, or a team may be composed of one boy and one girl. 


2. 
Divisions.-There is but one division in this 'contest, all stu­dents eligible under Rule 1 entering and competing with each other in the same division. 

3. 
S elections.-The selections to be used as a basis for this con­test during the ensuing season are printed below. 

4. 
Conducting the Contest.-The Director of Music in the county shall arrange for a suitable auditorium, and shall write in advance to the State Office of the League for the necessary number of score-cards, which will be furnished free of charge. The contestants shall be

UniversitY' of Texas Bulletin 
assembled at the appointed hour in the auditorium and seated sparse­ly over the room, and in no case mixed in with the spectators. Each contestant shall come provided with two sharpened lead pencils or fountain-pen. Twenty of the selections shall then be played, either by competent performers or by talking machine or other mechanical means of music-reproduction. 
After each selection is . played, the contestant shall endeavor to write down in the respective spaces provided therefor on the score­card, (1) the name of the selection; (2) the full name of the author; and (3) "Remarks" see Rule 7. 
Immediately after the twentieth selection has been rendered, the Director shall gather all of the cards and apportion them out to com­petent persons, who shall immediately grade the same. (Directions for contestants to follow in the use of the score-card will be printed on the card, and it shall be the duty of the Director to call the atten­tion of all the.contestants when they are assembled to the printed directions.) 
5. Grading the Papers.-In grading the papers, the persons grad­
ing 	shall use the following schedule of points: Recognition of selection. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 Correct composer. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 Correct spelling. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 
Total. .................................. 5 

6. 
The Winning Team.-The team scoring the highest number of points shall be declared winner, and shall be eligible to participate as a representative of the county in the district meet. 

7. 
Ties-How Decided.-In case opposing teams are found to be tied, the "Remarks" on the reverse side of the card shall then, and only then, be taken into consideration. After the child has written the name of the selection and composer, he then during the continuance of the rendition, may, in the alloted spaces upon the reverse side of the card, write a few remarks. These may pertain to the (1) de­scriptive; (2) form; (3) knowledge of it's incipiency; (4) moods that the child feels. It is not necessary that all these four points·be considered for each selection. A grade of five is given to the remarks on each! selection. 

8. 
The District Contest.-The district contest shall be conducted in a manner similar to that outlined above for the county contest. 

9. 
How to Determine Representative to State Meet.-One mem­ber of the winning team in the district is eligible to represent the district at the State Meet with rebate privileges. The member of the winning team in the disrict contest whose record is highest in the county and district meets shall be the eligible member of the team for entry in the State Contest. (Note.-It is necessary, therefore, that the county Director of Music keep accurate records of the score 


The Interscholastic League Division 
of each contestant in the county meet, for certification to the District Director, if necessary.) In case the records of the two members of the team in the county and district contests are the same, represen­tation to the state meet shall be decided, as between the two members of the winning team, by lot. 
10. The State Contest.-The State Contest in Music Memory shall take place the first Friday in May at 10 a. m. in Austin, along with the other events in the state meet. It shall be conducted in a manner similar to that outlined for the district and county contests, using the same fifty selections as a basis, with the exception that the State Director shall have the option of continuing eliminations as long as thought practicable in an effort to break a possible tie and determine a state winner.

II. RULES­
1. 
Each team shall play at least five games with different high school teams within its designated section not later than November 11th, sectional championships all to be decided not later than the Saturday following. All bi-sectional games to be played during the week ending with the 4th Saturday in November. 

2. 
Only schools which have paid their League membership fees and accepted the plan by October 1st shall be allowed to participate under this plan. 

3. 
Any defeat by a non-member high school shall ·be counted against a team's record so defeated. A defeat by a high school of another section shall be counted in determining state championship, but not district championship. 

4. 
Teams eligible for championship agree to play games of elim­ination as suggested by League. (Teams out of the running to ar­range games as they see fit). 

5. 
The League retains the right to eliminate from the state cham­pionship series a team that fails to play a representative schedule judged on the basis of strength shown last season. 

6. 
Each team shall report every game to the League office as soon as possible, or arrange for the home team to do so. 

7. 
Each team shall observe faithfully Interscholastic League rules. 

8. 
By accepting this plan, individual members, as well as the coach of each team, pledge themselves to act in the spirit of the "Football Code." 

9. 
Each player shall fill out an eligibility blank furnished by the League, these blanks to be signed by superintendent or principal and mailed to the state office before the contestant is allowed to take part in any game. At the end of the season the principal or coach of each school shall send to the State Office a list of all players who have participated in football during the season as representatives of the school. 

10. 
A guarantee demanded in excess of 50 per cent of the net gate receipts for any game shall, upon action of the State Executive Com­mittee, disqualify offending team from further participation. 


The Inte1·scholastic League Dii'is£011 
(Note) .-In this connection, expenses of visiting team shall be con­sidered as expenses of the game. Number of men allowed upon ex­pense account to be agreed upon by coaches or managers of teams involved. 
THE FOOTBALL CODE 
The football code means to play the game in the spirit of fairness and clean sportsmanship, to observe all rules and not attempt to hold, "beat the ball" or coach from the side lines because it can be done without the knowledge of the referee, or to resort to trickery in equip­ping or preparing players. It means to accept decisions of officials without protest, to treat your opponents as your guests and to put clean play and real sportmanship above victories. It means the ability to win without boasting and to lose without grudge. "Victory is no great matter. The important thing in sport is the manly striv­ing to excel and the good feeling it fosters between those who play fair and have no excuse when they lose." 
STATE BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT 
The League has arranged for the determination of the state cham­pionship in interscholastic basketball under the following conditions: 

1. The district director of athletics shall be responsible for determining his district championship team and certifying same to the state office not later than February 15, 1923. 
[Note.-It is suggested that the counties decide their champions first and that then the district director arrange a tournament by bringing all winning teams together at a central place and conduct a series of games which will determine the district champion­ship team. If deemed desirable the district directors of athletics may divide the schools into A and B classes for competition in the county and district. If this method is used the two winning teams shall play to de­termine the district championship as specified above. Cities, as described in Section VI, Article 5, may enter one team in the district games.] 
2. The state office shall then designate ad­joining districts which shall play for the bi­district championship, place for the game to be agreed upon between the two teams in­volved. In case of failure of agreement be­
tween the opposing teams, the matter shall be referred to the State Executive Committee, which shall designate a time and place for the 
University· of Texas Bulletin 
game. The state office undertakes to send referees to bi-district games if the schools concerned pay the actual expenses of such referee from Austin to the place of the game and return. 
3. 
The winners of the bi-district games are eligible to compete in the State Championship Basketball Tournament, March 2 and 3. 

4. 
A large silver loving cup is provided for the winning team, and a smaller one for the runners-up in the state tournament, as well as a gold medal for each member of the winning team, a gold medal for each member of the all-state team, and a silver medal for each member of the team which is the runner-up in the final match for state championship. A suitable medal is also provided for the individual who makes the best display of sportmanship during the tournament, which is to be determined by an appropriate committee which witnesses all of the games. 

5. 
All funds collected as entry fees and admissions at the state tournament in excess of the amount necessary to defray the incidental expenses of the meet shall be prorated to the contesting teams on the basis of the railroad fare paid by each team, except no rebate will be paid to any team located within 100 miles of the point where the tournament is held. Rebate will be paid also on two and only two substitutes for each team, and for the coach. 

6. 
In all intra-and inter-district contests the two opposing schools shall agree in advance concerning officials. Disputes arising as to eligibility and other matters not involving the decisions of officials may be reviewed and finally decided by the Executive Committee. Beginning a game with an official constitutes agreement. 

7. 
The eligibility rules of this Constitution and Rules shall be followed in basketball, and no school not a member of the League is eligible to compete. 

8. 
Disagreements regarding indoor and outdoor courts shall be decided as follows : One game to be played indoors, one game out­doors and if necessary the place of the third game to be decided by the toss of a coin. Two games won by the same team to decide the match. 

9. 
All teams participating in the tournament shall pay an entry fee of $1.00. No team shall be allowed to take part in any game, either county or district, that has failed to pay this fee. The funds secured in this manner will be used in making rebates to teams com­peting in the State Tournament. Teams paying the fee will be furn­ished with a card which will entitle them to participation. County and district officers shall allow only such teams to compete. Mail re­mittance to the state office in time to receive your card before your county schedule is arranged. Play no team which does not present the card. 


The Interscholastic League Division 
COUNTY FOOTBALL, BASKETBALL AND BASEBALL 
As plans are outlined for determining state championships in foot­ball and basketball, every team in every county will desire to take part, especially as it can be done without conflict with other county activities. All that is necessary is for the county champions to con­tinue with the district and state contests. For the complete success of the proposed plans it is hoped every county championship team will compete until eliminated or until the state championship is won. 
In the spring of 1923 the League may re-establish the bureau for compiling and publishing baseball results. Schools members of the League which report promptly results of their games will be con­sidered in compilation of data tending to show comparative strength of teams in various parts of the state as far as this is po3sible. Re­ports of the bureau will be furnished the state papers from time to time. Blanks for making reports will be sent any school upon re­quest. 
In deciding county championships in football, basketball or base­ball, the following points shall be observed: 
1. Eligibility.-All eligibility rules laid down in Article VIII of this constitution shall be strictly enforced. 
2. Official Rules.-All games to be played under the official rules for the particular sport as published by A. G. Spalding & Bros. 
3. Schedule.-All teams must co-operate in arranging schedules so that the strength of the various teams can be determined. A team claiming the championship must be willing to defend its claims by meeting any other team seeking competition unless superiority over this team can be shown. 
4. 
Offi,ciafs.-All officials must be satisfactory to both parties and agreed upon in advance. Teams are urged to always secure outside officials. Beginning a game with an official constitutes agreement.

VOLLEY BALL FOR GIRLS 
. 
The winning girls' volley ball team at the county meet shall re­ceive ten points and second place five points except if only two teams are entered, second place counts nothing.

Volley Ba-ll Rule.s 
Ball-Regulation Volley Ball. It shall be not less than 26 inches and not more than 27 inches in circumference, and shall weigh not less than eight ounces and not more than ten ounces. (Heavier ball may be used if agreeable to both teams.) 
Court-The court shall be marked off on level ground free from ob­structions fifty feet long and twenty-five feet wide. A net is stretched across the court from side to side so as to divide 
The Interscholastic League Division 
the space into two equal parts 25 feet square. The upper edge of the net shall be seven feet six inches from the ground. (Lower if used for small children). 
Pla-yers-Teams shall be composed of six players, one of them the cap­tain to direct the play. The players distribute themselves over the court without special arrangement. 
Object-Each team tries to keep the ball in lively play in the air to­ward its opponent's court and over the net by batting the ball with the open hand or hands and to place it so as to cause their opponents to fail to return it. 
The Game-The game shall consist of twenty-one points. In match games the best two out of three games shall determine the winner. The captains shall toss for service and courts. The winner of the toss may choose either to take the first service, or choice of courts. Teams change sides after each game, and the losing team has first serve. 
The ball is put in play by being served by a player who shall stand at the rear of the court back of the end line. From this position the ball is tossed upward and batted with the open palm over the net into the opponents court. The server has two trials. A served ball may bP assisted, provided it was batted at least 10 feet, but should the ball then fail to land good in the opponents court, the server · loses the second trial. No player shall touch the ball more than once in .suc­cession. The players on a side must take turns in serving. The ball is dead when it strikes the ground or any object outside of the court. Only the serving side can score. A server shall continue to serve as long as points are made. The service changes to the other side when­ever the serving side fails to return the ball or to make a good serve in two trials. A served ball touching the net and falling into the opponents court shall not count. A returned ball touching the net and falling into the opponents court is good. The ball may be re­covered from the net by any player except the one who touched it last before it touched the net. 
The service changes to opposite side when: 
1. 
The server fails to make a good serve in two trials. 

2. 
The serving side allows the ball to touch the ground within their court. 

3. 
A player of the serving side knocks it out of bounds. 

4. 
The serving side fails to return it to their opponents over the net. 

5. 
A player on the serving side touches the net. 
Score-One point is scored when: 



1. 
A good serve is not returned. 

2. 
Any time the receiving side fails to return a ball which is in play. 


University of Texas Bulletin 
3. When a player of the receiving side touches the net. (Failure of the serving side to return a ball merely puts them out. The service passes to the opponents and no score is made.) If two players on op­posite sides touch the net simultaneously, no point shall be scored, and the ball shall be served again by the same player. 
Officials-In all match games the officials shall be a Referee and two Linesmen. 
Duties of the Referee.-He shall decide when the ball is in play, when it is dead, when a point has been made, when side is out, and shall impose penalties for any violation of the rules. He shall also record the points made and his record shall be the official score of the game. 
Duties of the Linesmen.-The Linesmen shall be stationed at op­posite corners of the court, so that each has two lines in plain view, and whenever the ball touches the ground near a line they shall call "good" or "out." A ball touching the linP, is considered "good." 
Before the game the Linesmen shall secure from the Captain the serving order of the team on his side of the court, and shall see that the players follow this order. 
A Player Shall Not­
1. 
Strike the ball while being supported by any person or object. 

2. 
Catch or hold the ball. 

3. 
Reach over the net to strike the ball. 

4.

5.
