ORLANDO RELUCTANT
ABOUT THIRD GAME.
Teams Unable to Strike Agreement.
Apparently the efforts of Managcr
Yaekel and Coach Botts to arrange
for a third game to decide the final
victors in the O. H. S.-Stetson contest are proving futile. Stetson wishes
to play on a central floor either at
Jacksonville or St. Augustine, in preference to her opponent's court or
her own. The O. H. S. must be content with the present situation and
are willing to let matters rest. The
Varsity is still practicing, strengthening their weak points, and are-
working to take the game, if the
management can get it scheduled.
We trust another" week will see
some definite action in the affair,, favoring a final contest for the honors.
try friends, and loses all 'hope .of
winning the hand of the woman he
loves.
Costumes representing the English
style of dress in 1742 will be worn by
the actors. The play will be entertaining and amusing, and will hold up
the record of the former annual productions. This event is always anticipated by students and citizens and
the house will be crowded.
THE LITS HAVE
STRUCK A LIGHT.
GREEK DROPPED FROM
RHODES SCHOLARSHIP
REQUISITES.
Notice.
The Child Study Club will hold its
regular meeting on Friday, March
19, in the Association Rooms, Library Building. Miss Mary Shaver,
University Librarian, will speak on
"What a library can do for children."
This subject is receiving a vast amount
of attention in our large cities, and the
smaller communities ought to be none
the less interested.
COLLEGE PLAY.
Next Tuesday Night Prof. Stover as
"David Garrick" Assisted by a
Strong Cast.
This year's college play will be the
three-act comedy "David Garrick,"
founded upon an apocryphal anecdote
of this great English actor.
Unlike many short comedies, this
little play is an interesting story from
the rise of the curtain to the very em!
of the last act.
The characters are very pronounced
and the appearance of the "country
folks" brings out good genuine English wit and humor. The plot itself is
pathetic. Garrick, in keeping his word
of honor, is compelled to stimulate
inebriety and thus disgusts the coun-
The Strictest Requirement for the
Prize.
The necessity of a knowledge of
Greek has been a drawback to many
an aspirant for the Oxford prizes
given every two years. To hear that
this study has been dropped from the
required credits will doubtless be a
pleasure. Latin and Math, are now
the two main requisites.
Considerable interest in these examinations has been expressed at
Stetson, but no one has dared to
make .the attempt. With this greatest hindrance removed, a splendid opportunity is presented to capture a
coveted scholarship.
"David Garrick"
Y. W. C. A. Enjoys a Treat.
Miss Hollenbeck of New York,
spoke to the Young Women's Christian Association Thursday afternoon
on the power of a single life. She
took instances of lives from the Bible
and from among her friends, dwelling
especially on the life of Alice Jackson,
who died a few years ago while engaged in settlement work.
Miss Hollenbeck has been in the
midst of the city Y. W. C. A. and Settlement work and it has been our
privilege to have her address the Association several times during the
past few years. Those ptesent were
greatly benefited by her talk and we
earnestly hope to have her with us for
some years to come.
Splendid Meeting With the Lawyers.
Saturday night the Lit. invited the
Kent Club especially and, in general, all interested in literary work,
to meet with them in their regular
program. Chairs were brought in
from all over Science Hall and the
room was packed. After the welcome by the President, a variety of
literary numbers was rendered, each
one of which showed fhe secret of
the society's success—work. Not
only did each speaker have something-
worth while to say, but each knew
how to say it in an entertaining manner. The program was opened by
the reading of the Stetson Star by
Miss Davis, and closed by a tight debate on "Resolved that the United
States shouud increase her navy," in
which Mr. Howell of the negative
was the winner over Mr. Stults of
the affirmative. The oratory of the
evening was supplied by Mr. Wide-
man, the fun by Mr. Durrance, and
the wit by Mr. Bostick.
The program was as follows:
Stetson Star—Miss Davis.
Reading, "Mr. Jones as a Census
Taker"—Mr. Durrance.
The Trusts and the Republican
Party—Mr. Wideman.
The Trials of a Bashful Man—Mr.
Bostick.
Debate—Messrs. Howell and Stults.
The Lits are very much enthused
over the result of this meeting and
have taken on new life. The realization of something worth striving for
in the work has quickened a sincere
interest and endeavor for greater
achievements. The cabinet and especially the president, Mr. Jones, feel
justly encouraged and are purposed
to make this society count for something.
Why does Bill Page look so mournful lately? She's gone.
Tuesday Night

thoroughly enjoyable.
