Our boys played some beautiful football, and the admiration of their backers was evidenced by tumultuous cheering throughout the game. Although weak on ends, our line is impenetrable and after one or two futile attempts to break it the visitors confined themselves to end runs. On the offensive Stetson's onset was irresistible, and hardly a play failed to advance the ball several yards. The feature of the game was the sensational run when Mcllvaine, Stetson's right half, carried the pigskin thirty- five yards for a touchdown. Captain Duncan, as usual, played a star game, and "right tackle back," meant a gain for the White and Green. Wilder plunged through the line again and again and Pounds made some splendid gains. Cambell, quarterback, although half sick and suffering from a kick in the eye, showed himself gritty and ORGAN RECITAL. Quite a large audience attended the Organ Recital given by Professor Morse in the Auditorium Friday evening, and all were delighted by his control of the great instrument and especially his skill in registration. The music was delightful, the selections made by Professor Morse displayed a broad musical culture and a finely cultivated taste. Another feature of the eyeining which was instructive as well as pleasing, a short address on the life and work of Bach. The program rendered was as follows: Handel: Hallelujah Chorus (Messiah) Dubois: Nuptial Song; March of the Magi Kings. Bach: Toccata and Fugue in D Minor. Lemar: Andantino in D Flat. Chopin: Funeral March, Organ arrangement by F. G. Gleason. Batiste: Communion in G. Gpdard: Berceuse, from opera cool. Little Botts, although hampered by a game knee, played a beautiful game, and Fred Botts did the kicking of his life. Every man on the team worked hard and well for the White and Green. LINE-UP AND OFFICIALS. The lineup of the two teams was as follows: Stetson Position. Gainesville. Staley c Sparkman Lenfesty, Mace r. g Bettis Wilder 1. g Boulware, Ware Duncan (Capt.) r. t Robles Botts 1. t Jones Wright r. e Whitaker Broadwell 1. e Cone Campbell q Richards Mcllvaine r. h Taylor L. Botts 1. h Zewadski Pounds f Wilcox Professor Sears and Coach Fuchs of the Gainesville team were referee and umpire. The decisions of both officials were fair and gave eminent satisfaction. GREAT ENTHUSIASM. The grandstand and sidelines were resplendent with White and Green, waved by over 200 loyal Stetson backers, and cheer after cheer acrose as our boys made some good play or held their opponents attack. Cheermaster Hamlin did good service, and under his direction Stetson yells and songs were given almost constantly throughout the game. At every touchdown, and particularly after Mcllvaine's phenomenal run, pandemonium broke loose among the supporters of the Green and White. Misses Ruth Rich and Ethel Webster, the basketball captains, escorted by a bevy of Chaudoin girls, and bearing the huge banner recently presented to the girls by the men, followed the team in its progress up and down the field. "Jocelyn" Organ arrangement by O. A. Morse. Schuman: Traumerei (Dreaming). Wagner: Chorus of Pilgrims, March Tannhauser.) Professor Morse has won much popularity as an organist and doubtless his second recital will be largely attended. This recital will occur at 4:30 Friday afternoon December 2. Vesper Service. The vesper service Sunday was lead by Miss Vincent. After the singing of several gospel hymns the eighty, fourth and one hundredth psalms were read as the lesson and Rev. M. Stewart lead in prayer. Then the vesper choir sang, "These are They," with much expression, after which same the address. Miss Vincent spoke of life in three phases—knowing, doing, feeling and told the story of Solomon as an example of the first type, of Moses as the second and of David as the third. For those who oifly know and do God's will—there is perhaps a bitter struggle and the way is cold and tasks are hard, but when there is love also rhe tasks become pleasant, beautiful. .Miss Vincent closed with a short earnest prayer. Then followed an evening hymn and the benediction. Miss Primm Entertains. On the evening of the seventeenth the College Seniors were entertained by their classmate Miss Clara Primm m the parlors of Chaudoin Hall. Being seniors and therefore supposedly well educated mentally, they were given some very instructive lessons in Art. Each was presented with a piece of cloth, also with a needle and some black thread wherewith to produce a pig on said piece of cloth. Of all the animals which resulted even Noah would have had trouble to place a single one among his miscellaneous collection, and much more so Mr. Lenfesty, who, coming late, was asked to determine the particular breed of each. Taken altogether, he could scarcely form the concept hog. After this Miss Stubb who chaperoned the party told some very amusing incidents of college life nere and elswhere (it was but a few days after Hallowe'en you remember) and then after much half suppressed laughter from some mysterious region of the dormitory there issued the new Irish Maid, Bridgett, who being a Freshman was true to the color of her country. Bridget with many a quaint and curious courtsey gave lessons in the the preparation of that most useful invention Fudge made in a chafing dish," and she served the genuine college refreshments of olives and sandwiches while fudge took its own time about cooling. When the seniors at last summoned up courage to go, with many a regret at the flight of time, very little was left for the anxious L girls upstairs, though it Avas later reported, each one received one square centimeter of sandwiches and half a piece of fudge. The seniors pronounced the entertainment a great success.
