INITIAL TRIP
OF THE 07 NINE
Hot Gaines at Ormond.
LINE UP FOR BASKETBALL.
At the begilining of each season
when Stetson plays the Ormond
professionals a losing game is al
ways anticipated and from the
fans' point of view the game is
interesting mostly for dope. The
Ormond team is considered much
stronger this year than at any
time previous, and showed up
very well in these first games.
Stetson, on the other hand, made
u better showing than usual. The
first game was played on Friday
afternoon with Gleason, of the
.New York State League, in the
box for Ormond, and Mickle pitch
ing for Stetson. The Score was 9
to 2 in favor of Ormond. But almost all of the scoring by Ormond
is to be credited to errors, while
Mickle pitched a good game. Thi
number of errors is not large,
however, when we consider that
almost every man in the Stetson
team was either a new man or
playing in a new position. Stetson lined up for the first game as
follows:
Campbell, c.
Mickle, p.
Hamlin, 1st.
Allen, 2nd.
Pounds, s. s.
Tilden, 3rd.
Kirby, 1. f.
Hunter, c. f.
Jones, r. f.
In the second game on Saturday
the line up was practically the
same except that Tilden played
center and Mickle 3rd, while Hun
ter pitched. It was a much better
game than the first. Hits were
more frequent bub errors fewer.
Hunter worked well in the box,
and it was Stetson's game by 7-6!
till Hunter got wild in the seventh
and allowed Ormond to score four
times. Mickle pitched the re-

II. EAST HOUSE.
In some dormitories there are
traditions which go back many,
many years; some have imposing'
dimensions, massive stone pillars,
marble steps, memorial tablets
and even elevators. But East

House hasn't. Some dormitories
fairly seethe with an army of
over-zealous students and some
remain almost unobtrusive
enough to be forgotten. But
East House doesn't. In short,
it is a rather uncommon place in
some respects.
For many years it served as a
dwelling, known as the Hudson
House, but not so very long ago
it was found necessary to provide
some place to accommodate college men who did not room in
Stetson Hall. The result was the
establishment of East House.
As the catalogue intimates, the
building is fitted with all modern
improvements, including "good,
substantial furniture." This last

Gainesville Witnesses Some
Live Meetings.
This year is the first time Florida has had a State Y. M. C. A.
Conference. It was held at Gainesville and proved such a success
that the Association hopes to continue them, and speaks of bringing the next one to Stetson.
Our delegation consisted of
Messrs. Bostick, Walker and Moffatt. They brought back much
enthusiasm with them and reported the conference as one of
the treats of their lives. We regret that Mr. Bostick, on account
of sickness, was not able to give a
report. But the following are
extracts from the reports of Moffatt and Walker.
THE SPIRIT OP THE Y. M. C. A.
The aim of the Y. M. C. A.
throughout the world is the development of the most manly man.
The association pin contains a
triangle representative of this
man, perfect in spirit, mind and
body. Especially is this aim
manifested in college work The
student, as a rule, is striving to
make the most of himself, to attain as much perfection as possible. Hence the strength of the
Y. M. C. A. movement in the colleges.
As a basis for the development
of the highest manhood, the Y,
M. C. A. has adopted the Bible
and it now has among its 450,000
college members, 83,000 men, real
men, real leaders of men, in Bible
classes.
In the larger universities the
spirit of the Y. M. C. A. has per^
