STIT C21LE«£TE OFFICIAL STUDENTS' PUBLICATION OF STETSON UNIVERSITY. Tol. XIX DeLand, Florida, Wednesday, February 20, 1907. ^oTl6 KENTUCKIANS PLAY HOT BALL First Home Games of the Season. No team which comes to De- Land has the popularity of that representing the Kentucky Military Institute. The large num ber of Kentuckians resident and visiting are well disposed to the boys from Kentucky, and their conduct wins approval from every one. The team, accompanied by Col. Fowler, stayed at the College Arms while in DeLand. The first game was called at 3 o'clock Friday, with Hall in the box for K. M. I. and Mickle for Stetson. The play was fast for an early season game. In the third inning K. M. I. scored twice. Stetson was unable to score till the sixth, when Campbell, after stealing third, succeeded in reaching home on an error by Long. In the seventh, with second and third full, Barrett spoiled Campbell's hit by a beau tiful catch, and saved the game for K. M. I. Errors were plenti ful, and account for one score each by K. M. I. and Stetson. The individual record of the Stetson players is as follows : STETSON. A. B. H. R.

The second day the students were united with the team in a determination to win, and gave enthusiastic voice to their determination. Long went in the box for K. M. I., and Hunter pitched the first six innings for Stetson, when he was relieved by Mickle. The play of the Stetson nine was much improved, and the victory was deserved. Hunter's work in the box was good and steady. He was pitching better ball when he left the box than when the game began. Mickle's work was better than in the first game. The team is getting together, and one or two more games will be sufficient to develop one of Stetson's best teams, and perhaps the strongest amateur team in the State. The following individual records were made in the second game: STETSON. A. B. H. R.

Twice seven seniors, grand and reverend, met the middle of last month to form a more perfect union, promote domestic tranquility, etc., as much as in them lay. In other words, the Senior Laws were met to organize the illustrious class of '07. All means that were necessary and proper had already been used to aid the various candidates to office. The lines were finely drawn ; so finely, indeed, that the Dean felt constrained to caution the class. This he did with few words and great earnestness. When he ceased speaking a great hush fell on the multitude. The Dean made his exit and still the Laws were solemn. Thus, in solemn conclave, the convention began. Pattishall nominated Campbell for temporary chairman. Without opposition J. Bowers was installed pro tem. The first real item of the day was the election of a President, who not only would endow the class with respect, but also be acceptable to the members thereof. Again Pattishall was on his feet, his head back till his hair was hid, his mouth open till one could not see his face, discanting all the while on the wonderful virtues, great insight and loving kindness of some impossible one. Whom he could have had in mind will never be known, for as an
