LETTERS FROM LOYAL ALUMNI
Cosy Corners in Their Hearts for Stetson University.
When September's thirty days have
dwindled to something like a. week,
'there begins to sift down toward the
University a modest shower of letters.
From north and south, far and near,
they come with the best wishes and
latest news of Stetson's alumni.
Here is one from Miss Helen Co-
burn, a Chaudoin girl of two years
ago, in which she says:
"I am. still homesteadiug, and find
Wyoming ranching a fascinating business. As the 'time for college to open
draws nearer I can't help but wish
I were returning. My loyalty to Stetson is as strong as ever, and my best
wishes are always with the dear old
J. B. S. U., and all connected with her."
Another epistle finds its way from
Miss Florence Stevens, Normal '05, at
Cocoanu't Grove, Fla.
"I can't help you much in respect to
news of Stetsonites. George Bolles,1
Law '05, can be seen slipping around
the streets of Miami, as though he was
ashamed to be seen; he occasionally
does a little law business. John Gram-
ling is also practicing in Miami. Lucie
Collier is at home. Then, if you would
care to know, Marjorie Chamberlain,
who was at Stetson the winter of 1905,
graduated from S. S. N. W. last'
spring, and is now taking art in New
York. I am now 'holding down' the
primary grades of a nice little school
here, and am learning to sail for recreation."
D. C. Hull writes from Montbrook,
Fla., that he will be unable to return
this year as he is principal of the
public school at that place. He also
speaks of having seen Mr. Pinnell,
Law '05.
News comes that Mr. Sylvan McElroy, better known here as "Mac, the
^^^emn^^kn^^sJi^rd^^L^^ork^iT^a^
Baltimore medical school. He is 'making good,' and now has a hospital appointment.
Mr. Howard Stewart is this year in
Indiana, and says:
"Out here in old Purdue, working \
harder than I ever did before in my
life. I like the school and the people
very much, but I keep longing for the
ways of Stetson. Am anxious to know
all about the old fountain of learning
and if all the merry throng are back.''
Miss Bernice Alfred, Academy '05,
is this year at the Boston Conservatory.
Mr. W. C. Johnson, who is now an
attorney at law, writes that he shall
take, great pleasure in reading about
all the old Stetson people. He is
practicing in Perry, Fla.
Everybody remembers Mr. O. J.
Lofberg, our editor three years ago.
He is now an instructor in the High
School a't Sleepy Eye, Minn. He
found it pretty cold up there, but, we
arc informed, as soon as possible assumed about forty pounds of additional protection, and is now getting along
comfortably.
Writing from Fort Pierce, Fla., Mr.
Fred Fee, Law '04, speaks of the pleasure with which old alumni read the
news from Stetson.
Our mathematical friend. C. S. Ting-,
ley, has wandered into the freezing \
temperature of Oregon, but he evidently has not allowed that fact to chill his
love for Alma Mater, for he closes in J
the following words:
"Hip it up, Hip it up, Hip it up
again! S't-et-son.
FOOT BALL
CLOUDS LIFT
Girls' Basket Ball.
That the enthusiastic interest in
basket-ball aroused last year among
the girls, has not died out, was shown
by the well attended meeting last Wednesday, when, in response to a notice
posted on the bulletin board, a number
of athletic coeds gathered in Room 5,
Elizabeth Hall. It was decided that
since there was enough material in
sight for four 'teams it would be just
the thing to start in practice at once,
and pick out a strong first team with
which to challenge any other school
that might have the nerve 'to respond.
As a result of a vote. Misses Helen
Hunt and Geneva Simpson were elected managers. The schedule for the
use of the gym has been posted and

New Men Catch the Old
S. U. Spirit
SOME MOKE NEW MATERIAL
Strong Line, Strong Back Fields and
the Coach Smiles.
When Stetson lines up against the
Army team from Egraont Key, a week
from Friday, the prospects are that
the team will sustain the University's
reputation for strong, fast foot ball.
A training- table has been formed
^t Chaudoin for the squad, which now
numbers about thirty.
The new men who are being tried
out for positions on the team are:
Hall, Gautier and Robinson in the
backfield; Hendry and Garwood in
the line. K>nt Johnston re-entered
the Ilniversitv on Monday and will
try for end King, who played halfback on Bingham last year, is registered and will be out for his position.
There have been a number of shifts
in the positions of the old men. Capt.
Botts has swapped his tackle job for
leftend, a more important position
under the r\ew rules. Wilder and
Black are no longer guards, but are
being used as tackles, right, and left
respectively. Waterman and Garwood are working as guards. Hendry
is doing good work on rightend, but
will have to work for his job, as
Johnston will be out for the place and
possibly Kd. Mickle, who for two
weeks, how v^r, has been studying
the "p's" and "q's" of a quarterback.
In the backfield, Kirby and Campbell will probablv be at their places,
fullback and quarterback respectively. Some four or five men have
their eve* on the halfback jobs and it
is impossible to forecast these positions.
The reserve team showed up in
much better shape this week, several
eood men of last year coming out.
Pound* and Lowrie are two new men
who are valuable. There are several
men in the University who have not
reported yet, but who would be worth
much to the reserves. They should
