STUDENTS SING
THE PINAFORE
A Remarkably Fine Crew,
Says Critic.
It seems to have become the established custom of the Univer
sity that, at least once during the
school year, a musical event of
some kind shail be given. Last
year we all enjoyed The Messiah.
a beautiful Oratorio. This year,
to show the versatility of our
Stetson and DeLand musicians,
it was decided to present Pinafore, the comic opera
With Prof. Orwin A. Morse as
director, and a most efficient
company, it was given last night
at the auditorium. The opera
which is a charming little thing,
has been popular throughout the
country for years, and we felt as
though welcoming an old friend
in a new and charming guise
when Miss Ouscaden, gowned
most becomingly in palp yellow,
appeared as "Little Buttercup.''
The Gallant Captain of the Pinafore, too, delighted all with his
"No never well, hardly ever.''
•Sir Joseph's iron clad conceit sat
oddly on our friend, Mr. Carlton ;
but he carried out his part we 1
and was even dignified enough
for the ''Ruler of the Queen's
Navee," while the chorus of his
sisters and his cousins and his
aunts and the men before the
mast made a charmiug background of youth and color.
Mr. Cotton as Dick Dead-Eye
made good his claim to the title
of "a New Star," while Ralph.

Tennis Tournament.
The Spring Quarter Tournament entries were clo&ed yester
day with au enrollment of eight
teams. Though few of the contestants have been doing anything like consistent practice
there is evidence of some interesting playing, and all who will
attend the matches will surely be
repaid for doing so.
This afternoon a meeting of all
who entered was held at the
courts to perfect arrangements
for the play. The list of entries
reads as follows:
W. T. Christy, Pierce, Tilden,
Walker, Hamlin, P. Selden,
Taylor, Jones, Moffatt, Q
Woodward. Blocker, Cotton,
ATHLETIC SEER
PROBES FUTURE
Gives Hints on Next Year's
Teams of Stetson.

Everybody says that the charm of
Mr. Cotron's acting in the Pinafore
performance lay in the suitability of
his part to him.
Now that Stetson has completed another successful year in
athletics, players and coaches instinctively begin building teams
for the future and wondering
who will take the places left va-
cant by the departure of the
gridiron and diamond heroes.
It is nearly always true tfTat
the men who leave the teams are
the men who will be most surely
missed. They are men who have
played for a number of years,
men around whom teams of previous years have been built.
This is true of Stetson. In football we lose such men as Kirby,
Wilder, Campbell and Black. No
one needs to be told that their
places will b^ hard to fill. Each
of the^p men would be a severe
loss to the team, but when we
take them all it seems at first
that it would be impossible to
make a team without them.
The case however, is not as
it seems. Kemember that of the
teams that in the fall of 1905,
won the State championship,
Duncan, Frank Pounds, Cox, little Botts and Underhill did not
return and yet the team of the
past season was one of the strongest that ever represented the
school.
Let us see what material is at
hand. Of last year's team those
who will report for practice next
fall are Hendricks, center and
captain; Waterman and Garwood,
guards, F. Botts, tackle, John*
