STETSON WEEKLY COLLEGIATE Students' Publication of Stetson University VOL. XXI. DeLAND, FLA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, J908. NO. 4. Concerning This Year's Lyceum Course. The Committee on Lyceum Course for this year beg to call the attention of all students to the unusually fine list of attractions on hand for the year, and to the exceedingly low price of student-tickets. The course will include Dr. Grant, Gunsaulus, Taylor (if final satisfactory arrangements can be made), all lectures of more than usual merit. There will be the College Play and the Glee Club, and a sixth event not definitely decided; perhaps a magician, or a cartoonist, 'or a musical number, possibly the Royal Hungarian Orchestra. All will be up to the former standards. Any four of them will be worth the price of the regular season tickets, $2.00. The students of the University, in accordance with the agreement reached by the Committee last year, will secure admission to all six for just one half price, that is, $1.00 for the entire course. Students of Stetson, you can not afford to lose these six opportunities for culture and enjoyment of a refined and uplifting nature. It is part and parcel of your University education. See that you take opportunity by the forelook, while you may. Tickets will be sold, in advance, only at the office of the Bursar, Mr. Rosa, in Elizabeth Hall. Do not wait till the night of the first entertainment. Make your plans now. Committee on Lyceum Attractions, E. G. BALDWIN, Ch. O. A. MORSE. A. L. L. SUHRIE. VESPER SERVICE. Y. W. C. A. Notes. Last Thursday afternoon, many of the girls enjoyed a pleasant little chafing-dish social given under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A. members. Dean Smith, in Absence of Dr. Hulley, the Leader. As Dr. Hulley was at Cornell University Sunday afternoon Prof. Smith conducted the vesper service. The address was based on the life of Saul, taking his entire career from the time of his coronation to his death at Gilboa, and drawing comparisons on the lives of today. The significance of taking 'the first step, of ambition leaping ahead and later the inability to throw off the powers working ruin were important thoughts in the service. ♦♦-» The Crucible Club. This organization is about to resume its regular year's work and it is earnestly desired that all who expect to be or have been members meet with Prof. Tingley in the Chemistry lecture room, Science Hall, at 1 p. m. next Monday. +—+■ A Hallowe'en Frolic.

Stetson Wins from Olympic Athletic Club. The second game of the year has been played and the above score was the result. The Olympics, who came to DeLand touted as the strongest team in Jacksonville, were woefuliy weak. They did not show the strength of the Grays, who were defeated 24 to 0 the Saturday before. With one or two exceptions, the team was very ragged. "Red" Woolbry was the star of the team. If his team-mates had played up to the standard set by him they would have been different. The Stetson team showed a slight improvement in form and her plays went a ilittle smoother. There wert no particular stars. This is as it should be. Eleven men as a team are much better than eleven men each working separately, even though there are several stars among the latter. There were one or two de fects noticeable which must be corrected. In the first place, the plays are not reeled off with the speed that is so essential to the success of a light team./ This is due to the fact that the men have a tendency to walk to their positions instead of going on the jump. The men are running too 1 high, especially those men who are in the interference. In several instances men were missed because a man blocked high instead of going low. The attendance at the games this year has not been what it should. It is safe to say that with a studenl body of 360 there were not 100 students at the game Saturday. Thi« j won't do, students. Give the team your support. It means a great deal I to them. A loyal student body on the sideline has won many a doubt- j ful game. We are going to need it I when we meet Rollins this year; so j get the habit. j Jacksonville won toss and chose to COOTBALL, SATURDAY f^ SUMME3LIN INSTITUTE vs. STETSON Admission 50c; Children 25f * START THE SEASON RIGHT BY SUPPORTING YOUR TEAM
