Latest Rules and Regulations. At a meeting of the University Athletic Committee, held in Elizabeth Hall, Dec. 17th, 1903, the following motions were unanimousy passed: 1. That the manager of" the 'Varsity baseball team for the coming spring game shall not refuse to play another team because they do not require amateur •standards, but shall not play any college teams unless they are amateurs. 2. That the definition of "amateur" shall be, any student who is a bona fide registered student, carrying at least ten hours' work per week, making passing grade in all his studies, and receiving no re numeration for his playing or athletic exercises, either from college or outsiders. 3. That it is the consensus of the committee, that an entering fee of one dollar for athletics among the students be required at the beginnig of every school year, from all students above the grammar grade; and that the committee most earnestly recommenrs this as a standing requirement. 4. The following athletic goods were ordered to be purchasd: One dozen Spalding baseballs. Two batting nets. Playing suits for the basketball team. After discussing various other matters of special moment at this time, the committee adjourned sine die. Edwin G. Baldwin, Athletic Director; C. B. Rosa, Treasurer; F. D. Sears, L. C. Colton, W. A. Sharp, members present. Basketball. "Basketball practice today, at 4 P. M." This notice has been on the bulletin board since school reopened. This means business, no douot. Manager Beardsley and Captain Hamlin are doing all in their power to get the men in trim for the first game of the season, to be played Friday, January 15. On that day we are to meet the Rollins College team at Winter Park. The Rollins boys have been heard to say that they were not afraid. Well, who said afraid? Not Ave. Our basketball team was not given any chance at inter-collegiate work last year, but this year several games are scheduled, and we're certainly not."going down." Let everybody "rally 'round the boys" as they did around the football team, and "there'd be something doing." Vacation in Chaudoin. Those who felt sorry for the leftovers of the -Chaudoin and Stetson Halls during the holidays, might haAre bestowed their sympathy upon a more worthy cause, for we were by no means objects of pity, and it is doubtful if a merrier house party Avas gathered under a Florida roof than the dozen or two who "stayed by the •stuff." Miss Jackman deserves the banner or medal or cake, or whatever the reward, for being the only girl student who remained continuously. Miss Booth, Miss Ringer and the Misses Brock having spasms of going and coming, and Miss Vincent. Miss Bush, Miss Spence, Miss Wood. Miss Palmer, Mr. Colton, Mr. Rogers and Mr. and Mrs. Sears, of the Faculty, Avere more or less faith ML Drives. Avalks, games, music, fancy Avork, gossip (by courtesy intellectual conversation) Araried the days, and some fine AArork was done in the Avay of making up sleep at night. Not the least entertaining events Avere the daily duets and incidental "scraps" betAA-een Miss Ringer and Mr. Colton, and intense excitement AAras furnished by the arrival of the mail—Avhenever it happened to come. "The night before Christmas," at some unholy hour, AA'hen the AAeary shopper and manufacturer of Christmas presents Avas trying to snatch a feAA- minutes of Avell-earned slumber, a procession of ghouls (perhaps they would prefer to be called "a multitude of the heaA-enly host." but they Averen't that kind) dashed through the halls with horns, AAdiistles, tin pans and anything else that would make a fiendish noise and ingenuously Avished us a "Merry Christmas." That they are still alive is due, not to their deserts, but to the spirit of peace and good will which animated their A'ictims. Before breakfast, aa-c all gathered in the dining room around one of the prettiest Christmas trees you e\Ter saAv, and each receiAred a present suited to his' or her years and poAvers of i appreciation. Miss Spence got a | rattle; Mr. Rogers, a watch, with his girl's picture on the outside; Mr. Sears, a pair of dancing monkeys— probably to keep him from getting lonesome Avhile his OAArn AATere aAvay; Miss Bush, a handkerchief to dry her tears and a penlrf for increase of salary; Mr. Colton, a Train of "choo-choos," AAdth the legend, "Northward, ho;" Miss Ringer, a paper doll; Miss Vincent and Miss Palmer divided a doll's tea set between them, and all the other presents AA-ere equally generous and appropriate. The Christmas and New Year's dinners served by SteAvard Brown could scarcely be surpassed. RaAV oysters on grape fruit are a delicacy not found on eArery NeAA- Year's table. There is no doubt that the year 1904 has arriAred, for aa-c heard all about it AAThen it AAras only a few minutes old. We heard it by soprano, alto, bass, baritone, mezzo-soprano, megaphone and any other old AATay, but the things they said Avouldn't do for the chaste columns of the Collegiate. 4> » » Editorial Courtesy.
