The Stetson girls won the championship of Florida by defeating the basket ball team from the Florida Female College, in a very one-sided game, Saturday morning. The score was 34—6. Some anxiety had been felt about the game. Miss Kruse is just recovering from la grippe, but she played a clear-headed game, completely outclassing her opponent. The first few plays, however, indicated the result. Miss Kruse caught the ball in center, passed to Miss Simpson, who in turn passed to Miss Holmer, who scored in les3 than 30 seconds. The ball was put in play at center, and exactly the same thing happened, except that Miss •Simpson threw the goal. By this time the E. F. C. girls were be ginning to get in the game, but never for a moment could they interfere with the swift team work of the Stetson girls. During the first half Miss Simpson threw three field goals; Miss Holmer threw six field goals and two fouls; Miss Manning of F. F. C. threw one field goal and two fouls; score, 20-4. The second half was a repetition of the first, except that the play was slower. Miss Simpson scored four field goals and three fouls.

Mr. Wendling has achieved a national reputation by his powers of oratory, and on last Friday evening the people of DeLand were enabled to enjoy one of his most thrilling lectures, " The Man of Galilee." A large audience greeted the speaker, and all who were present have the highest praise for both thought and expression. Mrs. William Regar, of Tampa, known to Stetson students as Miss Fannie Allen, has been critically ill at her home. Our third team defeated the Public School boys Monday by a score of 12 to 11. This is what the Thirds call "putting it to 'em." ALUMNI TAKE QUILL IN HAND Bits of News from Former Students. Some very welcome letters have accumulated since our last issue, and the Collegiate takes great pleasure in presenting them. Mr. Emmet Wilson, now an attorney at Pensacola, writes : "I graduated from the College of Law in the class of 1904. I have been in the active practice of law ever since. I went first to Marianna, my home town, and have since moved my residence to Pensacola, where I expect to remain. I shall always take pleasure in doing anything in my power to aid and advance the interest of my Alma Mater. I have not had an opportunity to visit the University since my departure in May, 1904. I often think of the time I spent there, and have wished many times that I could return for a visit to renew old acquaintances. I hope to do so during Commencement week." Mrs. D. L. H. Stuckey is now living at Sumpter, S. C. Extracts from her letter are : "I have been married five years this coming spring. My husband is Dr. Henry Mortimer Stuckey, and we live in Sumpter, S. C, one of the best business towns of the State. Dr. Stucky is a specialist on diseases of children. I have tried to keep up with Stetson happenings and am still interested in the school and correspond with several old pupils and teachers, among them my teacher, Prof. Lewis. We have been planning to visit Stetson every
