Basketball Game
Lively Contest Between Dormitory and
Town.
On Friday afternoon, November 27, the
town girls and the "Chaudoinites" met in
their first practice game of basket-ball.
Both teams have been practicing regularly, twice a week, for about two
months, the town girls working under
the direction of Coach Mickle and the
"Chaudoinites" under Coach Botts.
The game naturally brought forth evidence of a bit of rivalry between the
two teams, which, although of a friendly
nature, was sufficient to keep' all the
players on the alert.
The members of the team have not
yet been selected, but Tuesday's game
showed that there is no lack of good
basket-ball material among the girls.
The line-up for practice was as follows :
Chaudoin . Town
good game throughout both halves,
keeping Summerlin in their own territory all the time. Had it not been for
a fumble at the three-yard line, the
Reserves would doubtless have scored.
The game was a clean game from
start to finish. No noticeable irritation
existed at any time. The Reserves appreciate the clean, manly way with
which Summerlin men play. We are indebted to Summerlin, both its Professor
and young men, for their generous
treatment while in Bartow.

Reserves vs. Summerlin.
The last game of the football season
was played at Bartow, Thanksgiving, between Summerlin and the Reserves. The
game, though resulting in a high score
for Summerlin, was by no means uninteresting. Stetson lost the toss and
received the kick-off. Gains were made
right and left at first; but after having
advanced the ball into Summerlin's territory, it passed to them.
Summerlin was unable to do anything
either through the line or around end,
but were rather successful in their punting.
One of the touchdowns was made by a
fumble on forward-pass by Reserves. Another by a fumble of Reserves' defensive
full-back on a punt. The third touchdown was made after a punt, followed
by a couple of downs. Luck seemed
against the Reserves. They played a
Much Interest Shown in Their First
Meeting.
The first regular meeting of the
Crucible Club met in Science Hall the
24th, at 6:30. Greater interest is manifest this year in the organization, as
was shown by the well-prepared program.
The following subjects were discussed:
"The Different Kinds of Sciences and the
Different Kinds of Chemistry," by E.
W. Grable; "The Scientific Column," by
S. P. Blake; "The Mining of Potash
Salts," by Carl Sherwin, and "Water
Analysis," by Prof. Tingley.

"FLUNK NOTICES" ABOLISHED.
Chicago's Latest Method of Dealing With
Those Who Fail.
It has been the custom in Chicago
for the Dean of the College to publish
periodically, notices of those who are
below the standing in their work. This
course has been changed on the principle, if a man does not know whether
he is up in his work or not he does not
know enough to be in college. Hereafter it will nt be required of instructors
to inform delinquents of their grade
unless the student request such, retaining until the end of a- quarter the actual grade of their work.

cents. Change of program every day.
The Glee Club will make their first
appearance before the DeLand people
Friday evening, the fourth. The reputation gained by the club in former years,
it is safe to say, will suffer not the least
in this their first concert, but from all
expectations will exceed for some years
back all that has been accomplished
along this line. The three vacancies occasioned by Smith, Garwood and Rose-
borough have been amply filled by Racey,
Wiggins and Jackson, all new men this
year, yet they have shown their ability
to make good. Better judgment has
been exercised this season in the choice
of Glee Club songs and already the members ahve a splendid reportoire at their
command. Prof, and Mrs. Phillips are
again among the number, the former as
director and soloist, the latter as accompanist .
"COLLEGE NO BANDIT SCHOOL.
So Says Dr. Henderson to Chicago
Seniors.
To a great many attendants in Stet
son, the real purpose of their college
course is a mystery. Some give it no
concern and drag throi ?h with no
dominating principles and with no definite idea of why they are here. Others
look upon education as a training of the
shrewd, keen abilities whereby they will
be able to outdo others and enrich
themselves.
Dr. Henderson, two weeks ago, in
an address to the Seniors of Chicago,
in concise, definite terms sums up the
purpose of college training.
"I do not believe," he declared, "that
there is anything in a college education
which should be conducive to the production of such unprincipled, demoralized characters. It possesses all that
should go to build up strong manhood.
There is a vast difference between mere
introduction and education. It isn't
what we learn, but the spirit and purpose with which we learn, that is the
important thing. If the best the college can do for us is to bring forth
lawyers whose chief delight is to see
how close they can graze the prison
walls without being captured, if it does
nothing more than to teach one how
