STETSON WEEKLY COLLEGIATE Students' Publication of Stetson University VOL. XXI. DeLAND, FLA., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1908. NO. 9. 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. CM. DURRANCE.

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. ♦-♦-♦' Tf a man gets a crush on a Chaudoin- ite and reads a "Buch" of Laura Jean Libbey, no wonder that he asks a physicist, "How many osculations does that pendulum make a minute ?" -*-•-*- "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. ■+ * » When you are down town, drop in to the Electric Theatre. Admission io 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
