STETSON WEEKLY COLLEGIATE VOL, XVII. OFFICIAL STUDENTS' PUBLICATION OP STETSON UNIVERSITY. DE LAND, FLA., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1904. NO. 6. STETSON 21===GAINESVILLE 0. The superiority of the Stetson football team to that of the East Florida Seminary was emphatically demonstrated in the game of Monday at Gainesville, when the 'Varsity inflicted a crushing defeat upon the Seminary players, winning by a score of 21 to 0. The game was, like, that of November 4, a clean, manly college game, but was too one-sided to be very interesting. The Gainesville boys put up a plucky fight, but were unable to cope with the strong line and fast backs of the Stetson team. The game, in detail, was as follows: First Half. Gainesville won the toss, and Pounds received the kickoff on Stetson's 10 yard line, advancing the ball five yards. Stetson now "ets down to business, and by a succession of heavy line bucks, tackle and guard plays, advances the ball to the Gainesville goal, Mcllvaine carrying the pigskin across for a touchdown exactly 3 minutes and 30 seconds after the commencement of play. Botts kicks goal and the score stands 6 to o. Stetson kicks to Gainesville's 15 yard line. Zewadski funibles the ball, but it is recovered by Taylor. Gainesville tries an end run, but Botts breaks through and tackles for a four yards loss, and again for a three yards loss. A quarterback kick fails to make distance and the ball is Stetson's on Gainesville's 15 yard line. Duncan gains four yards, Botts three yards and little Botts hits the line for a touchdown. No goal and the score stands 11 to 0. Time of touchdown 2 minutes and 40 seconds. Gainesville kicks to Stetson's 25 yard line, and the 'Varsity pushes to the center, where they lose the ball on downs. Little Botts downs Taylor for a loss of five yards on a double pass, and Wilcox is thrown back from center for a loss of five yards. Gainesville tries right tackle for no gain and the ball goes to Stetson on Gainesville's 52 yard line. By a series of tackle and guard back plays, Stetson carries the ball to the 6 yard line, but on the third down with one foot to go fumbles, and the ball goes to Gainesville on her six yard line. By a wing shift play, Taylor skirts right end for 40 yards, behind fine interference. Pounds makes a spectacular dive through the interference and downs the runner. Wilder breaks through and tackles for a loss of three yards, and a crisscross, which fails to fool the Stetson ends, loses four yards. Gainesville fumbles and the ball goes to Stetson on the 40 yard line. Mcllvaine gaines five yards, Little Botts five, Duncan three and Wilder three. Wilcox now breaks through and downs Mcllvaine for a loss of three yards, and Cone tackles Little Botts for a loss of two yards. Botts tries a drop kick which fails. Gainesville kicks from her 25 to Stetson's 40 yard line. Pounds and Mcllvaine fumble and the ball is Gainesville's. In the next play Taylor is tackled so fiercely that he drops the ball and Little Botts falls on it for Stetson. Stetson advances the ball to the 15 yard line and is going for a touchdown when time is called. Score 11 to 0 in favor of Stetson. Second Half. Stetson kicks to Gainesville's five yard line, and Taylor advances the ball ten yards. Wilder throws Wilcox back from Stetson's center for two yards loss, and Taylor tries right end for no gain. A fake kick fails to fool Stetson and she gets the ball on the 12 yard line.Duncan,tackle over tackle, two yards; Botts, same play, two yards; Pounds tears his way through center for a touchdown. Botts fails to kick goal and the score is 16 to o. Time of touchdown, 4 minutes. Duncan, catches the kickoff on our 30 yard line and advances the ball 15 yards. Stetson pushes up to the center of the field, where Gainesville holds for downs and has the ball. Here Wilcox makes three yards through center and two yards around right end, the first and only time that Gainesville makes her distance. They fail to duplicate the performance. Wilcox loses two yards against center, and a quarterback run is stopped for a loss of one yard.A mass play against right tackle is stopped and Stetson has the ball. By short end runs and tackle over tackle plays, Stetson reaches the 20 yard line. Here Botts tries for a goal from field, but Gainesville breaks through and interferes with kick. Gaineville kicks from her 25 to Stetson's 30 yard line. Only 4 minutes are left to play, and here Stetson plays the prettiest and fastest football that she has put up this season. Driven on by Campbell, alternating backs with guard and tackles, Stetson carries the ball straight down the field. Time and again -Stetson plunges through the line for two, three and four yards, and Duncan carries the ball across the line with eleven seconds to play. Botts fails goal and time is called. Score, 21 to o, in favor of Stetson. Completely Outplayed. Stetson put up a pretty good game of ball, and outplayed her opponents at every point. The lineup was the same as in the former game, except that Mace played end on the offense and half on the defense, alternating with Little Botts. Every Stetson man, from Captain Duncan to Quarterback Campbell, played hard earnest football, and the result is seen in the score. The game put up by Stetson during the last four minutes of play was splendid football and has no parallel in the work of this season's team. The Seminary team showed up better than before on the defense, but were unable to make any impression on Stetson's immovable line or to circle our ends for any gains. j| / $'] Splendid College Spirit- The Gainesville pupils were behind their team to a man, and cheering was continuous, while the field was DAVID HARUM. Mr. Edward P. Elliott opended the Stetson Lyceum course Monday evening with a monologue on our old friend, David Harum. In his portrayal of the shrewd banker and horse trader, we laughed and wept again over the man who could sell the horse that would stand without hitching and pay compound interest on the circus treat given him forty years before. Dave himself was well portrayed and here Mr. Elliott was at his best. In the women, his audience was not so well pleased. But Deacon Perkins and Dick, the hired man, were each original in themselves. A monologue is by no means an easy thing to give and Mr. Elliot deserves congratulations on his success. His great mobility of feature and good voice control are valuable aids to him, and the material of the monologue was well arranged and selected, giving the speaker opportunity to display his versatility and also to show the many-sidedness of David's character. Perhaps most enjoyed of all was his last selection, where the club man who is deciding to marrjr Margaret, lest he break her heart, receives her wedding invitation. We are hardly through laughing about it yet. This course of lectures is given for the benefit of the Athletic Association and for that reason in addition to the fact that they all promise to be highly enjoyable, deserves to be well patronized by the students. DIVINITY THEORY AND PRACTICE. A man may shout for Prohibition, And shrink from drink with fear; But he, like every other mortal, Must some day have his bier. Ex, surrounded with turnouts decorated in the Seminary colors. The college spirit displayed by the Gainesville girls was fine, and aroused admiration in the heart of every Stetson man. Although their team was being overwhelmingly defeated, for no other term can be used, the girls did not lost their enthusiasm an instant. During the interval between the halves they formed a circle on the field and cheered the team, collectively and individually, singing their college songs. After the game, they marched completely around the field, in double file, waving their colors, and then lined up and cheered both teams. Shown a Good Time- Our boys were treated splendidly and report an interesting trip. They arrived in Gainesville at 10:30 Saturday night. Sunday morninar, as Coach Colton was wondering how he could give them their daily run, the fire alarm bell rang and the whole team was off in an instant. They assisted materially in putting out the fire, Broadwell acting as hydrant man and Campbell directing the play from the side lines. They were unable to stay for the reception which had been arranged. STUDENTS Stetson has the largest number of ministerial students she has had in several years. They are with us; great and small, lean and fat, old and young.
