Tennis Tournament Proves
Yery Interesting.
The tennis tournament for
doubles was completed Saturday
afternoon, Pelotand Tilden being
the winning team.
Interest in the games was on
the increase all the week as the
various series were played off.
The series that was most hotly
contested and at the same time
perhaps the best exhibition of
tennis, was that played by Hamlin and Will Christy against
LeBeau Christy and Hough. The
former team were superior in individual play but the latter
showed the best team work of
any team entered in the tournament. Hamlin and Christy won
however by a score of 4-6, 6-3,
10-8.
On Friday afternoon Pelot and
Tilden defeated Walker and
Woodward in a very pretty game
by a score of 6-8, 6-4. At the
same time Hamlin and Christy
were defeating Moffatt and Parker by a score of 6-1, 6-2, thus
finishing the semi-finals and leaving the finals to be contested between these two teams.
On Saturday afternoon at 2:80
quite a crowd gathered to see
this final series, while motorists
and drivers would stop their
machines or carriages to watch
the exciting game. The game
was close, most often making it
necessary to play off a deuce score.
All the players were in very good
form except Tilden who was not
well and inclined to be erratic.
Hamlin also interspersed some
very excellent work at the net
with an occasional misdirected
stroke. It was really a much
harder fought game than the
score would indicate, Pelot and
Tilden winning by the score 6 1,
■4-6, 6-1, 6 3.
All those who wish to enter the
singles have an opportunity to do
so this week, and in order to
facilitate the arrangements, are
urged to hand in their names to
!Prof. Baldwin by tomorrow. As
soon as the list of entries is closed
\ opponents will be chosen by lot.
Vesper Hour.
Such a service as was our Vespers last Sunday can not but
result in creating new interest
and enthusiasm in the University
Dr. Hulley's address bore directly
on school interests and was full
of praise for Stetson's past history and of confidence for her
future. He emphasized the fact
that here foundations had been
laid in righteousness, and that
her future prosperity depends
upon a continuance in the paths
of uprightness.
The service was special in every
respect. In place of the usual
vesper choir, the College Glee
Club led the singing and rendered
a grand anthem adapted to music
from Beethoven. Other much
enjoyed musical features were
the tenor duet by P. E. Carlton
and Prof. Hill, and the "Fantasia
on Jerusalem the Golden," by
Prof. Morse. The concluding
hymn Prof. Hill sang very effectively as a solo, the congregation
joining in the chorus.
A large crowd was in attendance at the services, a fact which
shows the interest and co-operative spirit which the townspeople
feel toward the University.
Prof, and Mrs. Baldwin were groing
to Winter Park with "tbe crowd,"
but backed out at the last moment.
Messrs. Knepton, Jamison and Year-
wood made a sudden decision to ero to
Winter Park Sunday night after the
team had gone. They walked to the
junction and had the pleasure of waiting for the belated train at that metropolitan place. It finally came along
in the wee sma' hours of the morning-
STETSON WINS
EXCITING GAME
Rooters off the Track-
Summary of the Game.
"Rollins, Ho!"
"Train leaves at 12:15; dinner
at 11:15." How we hastened to
the dining room; ate nothing in
our eagerness to be off, and rushed
to the station. It was a mere incident that the engine was off the
track and the train didn't leave
DeLand till 2:15.
Seventy-five Stetson "rooters"
including the official Collegiate
reporter were on the train, ,and
being two hours late we arrived
at Winter Park "just as the sun
went down." Oh, yes! the game
was over but we were met at the
station with the glorious news,
"15-0 favor of Stetson" so don't
think we had no excitement.
The larger part of the Stetson
hosts, dividing into two columns,
proceeded to interview the college
campus. Of course we could hardly
refrain from a few jubilant cheers,
and when the two columns
chanced to meet exactly in front
of the dormitory for girls, where
the RolJins girls were assembled
on the steps, bedlam was loosed
and our respective alma maters
were adored in a medley of very
vigorous yells.
Winter Park not having a hostelry prepared to feed so many
guests, the Stetsonites assembled
on the verandas of the Seminole
Inn, which were kindly offered,
and spread a picnic of such canned
eatables as could be procured in
the village, and the hungry fed.
