Stetson Wins From Jacksonville.
Olympics Defeated by a Score of 10 to o
in a Hard-Fought Game.
The many hundreds that witnessed
Saturday's game declared that it was
the snappiest game ever played with
Jacksonville.
One of the best features of the game
was the well organized cheering which
was led by Frank Wideman. Never before has Stetson had such enthusiastic
cheering. Whiski-we-we, Chu-Hoo, Hip-
it-up, the familiar "nine rahs," and other historic yells were revived.
The Olympics won the "toss up" and
kicked off against the wind the ball hitting the 40 yard line. Pounds received
the ball and was able to carry it for
a few yards. During the first half the
Olympics were driven up and down tho
gridiron. The double pass to Pounds
and Sams was used to great advantage.
Waterman carried the ball through the
line several times making large gains.
Waterman played a star g*ame at guard
last year and this year his position as
tackle is greatly valued. The line-men
held their men well and equally well
did they open up a hole when "Spotty"
called the signal. After ten minutes of
fast playing, "Spotty" carried the pigskin over the goal line. Mac failed to
kick the goal.
Two minutes before the end of tho
first half, Cad Hendry made a rush
through tackle gaining a "touch down."
During the second half neither side
kept the ball any length of time. This
half was intensely interesting. More
than once did Stetson drive the Olympics back to our goal line and they
were forced to kick. Nearmg tho «n<A
ot the second half Waterman broke
through the line and blocked their
kick.
Several Stetson men were knocked
out during the game. McCaskil had
his shovilflor V>n.dly -wrenched and was
forced to leave the game. Kummer took
bis place at center and held that position to a T. Ben Willard lost complete
sntrol of his ankles and was also forced
to leave the field. Skinner took his
place at end and played the remainder
of the half with much speed.
These two men are on the second team
but they, beyond doubt, play first team
ball. "Cad" was knocked out with a
badly wrenched neck and shoulder.
Someone remarked that the player that
was laying down was Cad. Coach Spider Colton proudly replied, "He's a
Hendry and you can't kill him." Sure
enough Cad was up when his 2 minutes
were up.
Every old student knows the kind of
game Pounds plays at half back. Although Clyde did not make a "touch
down" his good playing was not passed
by unnoticed. Pounds is undoubtedly
the best all around athlete Stetson has
ever had since the time of Bill Kirby.
Stetson won with a score of 10 to 0
as no touch down was made by either
side during the second half. The Olympics were good players and their signals
were good, their defect being that they
lacked speed.
v
The Seniors.
So far the Seniors have kept pretty
quiet. Perhaps it is because they have
been too busy to talk. Be that as it
may, this article is merely to show that
they are not dead. The year is young
yet and little has been done along the
line of picnics, socials and spreads. But
it is apparent to any one acquainted
with the personnel of the class that this
feature of its acitvity will not be neglected.
The college annual is a topic that has
received a good deal of attention. In
fact the question was considered to
some extent during the spring term.
More will be said on this subject later
on.
The officers of the college class of
1910 are as follpws:
President—Miss Gordon.
Vice President—Mr. Miller.
Secretary and Treasurer—Mr. Waterman.
The Sophomores.
The Sophomore class is a good
one—we think. It is going to do good
work this year. This class has almost
the same personnel as the Freshman
class of last year. So the experience
of the past tends to draw it together.
The class, as well as the entire University, is justly proud of the young
men and women who serve it as officers. They are:
President—Bradford G. Williams.
Vice President—Miss Wilma Davis.
Secretary—Miss Juno Wright.
Treasurer—Miss Tiarson.
Historian—Miss Julia Bunch.

G. Prentice Carson, A.M.
Prof. Carson, Dean of the College of
Liberal Arts and Professor of History
and Economics, is very highly esteemed
by the student body. His class room
lectures are considered he most broadening of all the courts in the University.
If yon moftt some one -who reminds
you of the first rose of summer—that
is in late fall—why then you've met

They are a wonderful race. . Most of
