Stetson Weekly Colleaiate Students' Publication of Stetson University. VOL. XXII DeLAND, FLA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1909. No. 4 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. Freshydom. 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 one oi the inhabitants of Freshydom. They are a wonderful race. .
