ATHLETIC NOTES
AT STETSON
First Football Game Next Saturday-
Practice Held Daily—New Men
Showing up Well.
Athletics at the University have been
confined most entirely to the preparation of the football team for its
schedule.
Practice has been held every day, in
an effort to get the team in shape for
ks first game next Saturday. The six
holes in the team that were left by
failure of the men on last year's team
to return to school will make it a hard
proposition to turn out a strong team
so early in the season. There are several men, however, who are showing
up in good shape. Among these are
"Cad" Hendry, who is making a fine
showing at tackle; Duncan, Carlton
and Ben Willard, all of last year's
reserves. Among the new men Lock,
McKaskell, Huffaker and Baker are all
showing up in good shape. There has
been only one day of scrimmage so
far and more men will probably be
found as soon as time is given for
them to show their worth under fire.
The thing that is giving the coach
more worry than anything else is the
lack of a punter. In the loss of Bedortha the team loses the best punter
that ever wore a Stetson suit. At the
prestnt time Botts seems to have the
call, but his mark is far from satisfactory. An effort will be made to
develop a man who will give satis-
factiorr in this most important part of
the game.
From present indications Stetson
will have a very good schedule this
year. The dates so far agreed on are
as follows:
Metropolitan Grays in DeLand, Oct.
17-
Riverside Athletic Club in Jacksonville, Oct. 30.
University of Florida in Gainesville,
Nov. 6.
Rollins in DeLand, Nov. 14.
University of Florida in DeLand,
Nov. 20.
Rollins in Winter Park, Nov. 26.
It is very probable that the Olympic
Club of Jacksonville will play in De-
Land October 24. If not, an effort
will be made to secure another team
for that date. At least one game will
be arranged for the Reserves in De-
Land and one away from home.
It is now up to the lovers of football to support the team financially, b>
attending the games and also by en
thusiastically backing the team in every
other way. If the games are not properly attended this year, it will, of
course, be impossible to arrange so
satisfactory a schedule another year.

The Philosophy of Mistakes.
The man who never makes a mistake, never made anything.
Get wise when you make a mistake;
the only crime in making a mistake
is in making the same one twice.
Wise men make mistakes; fools continue to make mistakes.
The man who learns life's lessons
without making mistakes is getting his
tuition at reduced rates.
A thought of one's own mistakes will
soften criticism of others' mistakes.—
The National Baker.
"Other papers all remind us
We can make our own sublime,
If our fellow schoolmates send us
Contributions all the time.
Here a little, there a little,
Story, club note, song or jest,
If you want a slick school paper,
Each of you must do your best."

KENT CLUB
REORGANIZED
Officers Elected — Interesting Program Rendered—Mr. Carson
Gives Talk on Politics.
The Club met for organization on
Saturday, October 3. Nearly all the
new law students were present and became members. The routine work was
carried through and speeches were
made by Prof. Camp, Mr. Williams,
Mr. Carlton and Miss Pitcher. The
Club begins its fall term work with
the following officers:
President, Mr. Hull.
Vice-President, Mr. Rowe.
Secretary, Mr. Adams.
Treasurer, Miss Pitcher.
Attorney, Mr. Carlton.
Critic, Mr. Sams.
Our first program was rendered on
last Saturday evening. The first feature
of the evening was the telling of a few
humorous stories. Prof. Trussler favored us with one which very forcibly
impressed upon our minds the value
of advertising, while one of the members remarked that the biggest joke
he knew of was himself. > The rest
dealt in topics ranging from deacons
to the aspirations of a snapping turtle
when attached to a bragging Englishman.
The regular program which was then
taken up was opened by Miss Pitcher,
who, in her entertaining and pleasant
way, discussed the news of the week.
Mr. Witt followed with an extemporaneous speech on "The Study of
the Law and Who Should Study it."
He handled the subject well and discussed it at some length. We were
then favored with a discussion on
"Lessons of the Present Presidential
