/z J STETSON WEEKLY COLLEGIATE VOL, XVII. OFFICIAL STUDENTS' PUBLICATION OF STETSON UNIVERSITY. DE LAND, FLA., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1904. NO. 7. Tallahassee vs. Stetson. White and Green Defeated by a Score of 18 to 6. The football squad, consisting of the team, substitutes, Manager Sams, Coach Colton, and Referee Fuchs, left DeLand Wednesday morning at 2 o'clock for Tallahassee. The team, although realizing that they were up against no easy proposition, were not discouraged and were in the frame of mind to put tip a har.d, earnest game. At a moment when ill luck threatened to lose Stetson every hope of winning this game, the old Stetson spirit rose most nobly to the occasion and the boys Avere given a splendid send off. Tuesday morning- the silver Loving Cup was carried to the platform before chapel by Captain Duncan, and enthusiastic cheers were given for the cup, the team, Captain Duncan and Coach Colton. Tuesday afternoon a large crowd of students assembled at practice and cheered the team heartily. At dinner, as the squad took their places at a tastefully decorated table they were the repipients of prolonged applause and cheering. If Stetson went into this game with the team which met Gainesville, the result would be less in doubt. The team, however, was crippled by the loss of Botts, who strained the ligaments of his shoulder in practice, and Pounds and Campbell, avIio were objected to on the ground that they had received money some time ago for playing baseball. Mickle. Gannon and Underbill were substituted in these positions, and Duncan was chosen to do the kicking. Reports from the game were for some reason slow in coming in last evening. From five o'clock on the telegraph office was crowded with Stetsonites eager to hear news from their fellows. A little before 0 the news came: Clean game—Tallahassee 18, Stetson 6. News of defeat lias not been frequent here, but we're all going to bring home the warriors to-night with as much zeal as if they had Avon. The following is a brief telegraphic acount of the game FIRST HALF. 1'". S. C. kicks off over the goal line. They down our men and get a touch- back, iotson takes the ball to the 25 yard line and kicks to center of field. Tallahassee carries ball to Stetson's 10 yard line but loses on doAvns. Stetson then carries to center field and F. S. C. forces us back to our 15 yard line. Noav Stetson bucks the length of the field and Pounds, through the center makes the best gains. Capt. Duncan and the lialfs also make good gains. Finally Pounds, in one of his good runs makes a touchdown and Duncan kicks goal. F. S. C. noAV kicks off and gets the ball on a fumble. By end runs, with tackle back and Aving shift they drive our men back. Then F. S. C. kicks over Stetson's goal line and Duncan kicks out to center of the -field. On the first down F. S. C. with her heavy backfield interference goes over. Stetson kicks off and F. S. C. goes doAvn the field for touch doAvn. Here the first half ends. Score F. S. C. 18, Stetson 6. SECOND HALF. Stetson kicks off and takes the ball on downs. During most of the second half the ball is kept in the center of the field. Little Botts however has to go out with a bad knee, and Underhill goes in, playing a fine game toward end of half. F. S. C. carries us down the field and time is called Avith the ball on Stetson's 2 yard line. This left the honors even in the second half. EArery man on the Stetson team played to the limit. It is a team to be proud of. They Avere overcome by superior strength on ends and back field, as the Stetson line was much superior. Every man on the team should feel that he has the warm support of everyone of us. Though they come home defeated, we still believe in our boys and intend to "root" for them as long as we can speak. Let us not forget that they played this game with one of the best men on. the side-lines. Let eArery man woman and child come out and meet the boys to-night. ■» » » Athletic Subscription.

No woman ever became honored and revered unless she AA^aa acquainted Avith the art of self-denial, unless she learned to conquer self and seek to do thing's which ennoble her character, enrich her intellect and SAveeten her life. Selfishness is one of the great evils of human existence.—Ex. A History of DeLand and Stetson University The charming toAvn of DeLand, situated not far from the east bank of the St. John's river in Volusia county, has been a corporate town a little more than twenty-five years. In the early seventies people first began to settle in this vicinity but Capt. John Rich, father of Miss Ruth Rich now attending the University, was the first settler within the present limits of DeLand. In the spring of 1875 he came here and built a little house known to-day as "The Cabbin" and the following winter Mrs. Rich joined him. The spring of that same 1876 the Riches had a Aisitor of note—Hon. H. A. De- Land. Pie took a fancy to this part of the country and interested himself from that day to this in the growth of the settlement and later of the toAvn. In December 1876 was born the- first Avhite child of DeLand, Clara Belle Rich, noAV Mrs. Craig of Jacksonville. With the hearty interest and financial assistance of Mr. DeLand the settlement grew rapidly and in the fall of .1876 upon iiis return from uie North a meeting of the citizens Avas held under the trees at the corner of the BouleA'ard and Indiana AA^enue, to choose a name for the town. Many of the streets also then received the names they noAV bear. In November they began to have religious services at the house of Capt. Rich and continued to hold them there till the spring of 1877 Avhen the new church and school house Avas finished. A moA^ement was then set on foot to start a paper and at last obstacles Avere oATercome and the first issue of the Volusia Co. Herald Avas dated May I 10th 1877. The folloAving December 1 the first store Avas opened where the Volusia Co. bank noAV stands. The 1 toAvn had been steadily groAving all the I Avhile and bade fair to be of imortant [ size but not till March second 1878 was i it officially laid out and a map record, ed. Judge C. H. Wright Avas chosen the first mayor. For eight years then the toAvn grew steadily in population and improAre- I ment. DeLand High school Avas open- | ed in 1883 and the year folloAving the j Academy building uoav knoAvn as De- | Land Hall was erected at the expense j of Mr. DeLand. But then in the midst of all the pros- j perity came that dreadful day Sep- I tember 29, 1886 when a tire—starting in a saloon—swept oA~er the greater jm,; of the tOAA'ii destroying almost all of the business houses. Though this j Avas a heavy blow to a young toAvn it J quickly recovered and the, people put ! up much better buildings than before. KAPPA DELTA FRATERNITY. Woman's Chapter Organized at State College. Friday night in the elegant rooms of the Kappa Alpha fraternity hall the first Woman's Greek Letter Fraternity ever to enter Florida Avas installed as one of the student's organizations of the Florida State College. For some Avecks the young ladies at the State College have been negotiating for a charter of the Kappa Delta Fraternity, and about the first of November, they Avere notified that the charter had been granted and that the proper officers of the fraternity Avould be sent to install the chapter. The young ladies avIio were initiated Friday are among the most popular now attending that institution and stand Avell in their classes. They would be a credit to any fraternity and Kappa Delta is fortunate in securing them. The new chapter of the girl's fraternity here has been named in honor of the Kappa Fraternity and Friday night the use of the neAv K. A. hall and club rooms Avas tendered the young ladies, and after the initiation ceremonies had been concluded, the entire chapter of Kappa Alpha just "dropped in" with arms full of good things to eat. The Kappa Delta Fraternity is among the very strongest of that class of Greek Letter orders. The State College is fortunate in being able to secure a chapter of this fraternity, and Kappa Delta has made no mistake in placing it here. The young ladies that compose the chapter here arc as fine a set of girls as Avill be found in any institution in the country.—Daily Capital. 11 Vesper Service. The Vesper service Sunday after- i noon was led by Prof. Frost. After a pleasing selection by the Vesper choir I and a short prayer, Prof, Frost read j as his text "For God so loved the world I that he gave his only begotten Son that ! Avhosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life." In« beginning he said: "It is Avith the thought of love and giving I am concerned this afternoon. And then he AArent on to show hoAV in all ambitions and aspirations, our successes and failures, the AArorld judges by outward appearance, but God judges the heart. However commendable our intentions may be AA'e cannot do much good unless Ave learn to express ourselves and thus make our influence felt. The giving to the AATorld, of our influence great or small," with a great sympathizing love for all humanity. In closing he said: "While we are in this institute of learning striv- ing for everything intellectual Ave should remember to give to the world a sAveeter and purer life." ♦ » » Y. W. C. A. Miss Morrish led the Thursday afternoon meeting and spoke on "Love as an Element of Character." Miss Clara Primm Avas chosen president and Miss Helen Manville the vice-president of the Asociation, Miss Pollard having resigned. The hour of meeting will henceforth be four, instead of 4:30 on Thursdays. Wejare in receipt of the November issuejVof the "Donny Brook Fair," editetf by the H. H. School. It is certainly a very creditable paper.
