The Stetson team left DeLand on
Friday at 12 o'clock. After a long
and tiresome trip with many delays,
we arrived at the beautiful burg of
Bartow. The team put up at the
"Oaks" hotel, one of the best in the
county. On account of heavy rains
Friday night and Saturday morning
hopes for a game were almost given up.
About 2 :oo o'clock the rain ceased
and the sun came out, putting the
field in good condition.
At 2:30 the team went to the field
for a short signal practice.
At 3:30 the Referee called the game.
The teams were about evenly matched
in weight. The game started with
Bartow kicking off to Stetson.
After some unimportant play a
forward pass to Calf Jackson brought
the ball to Bartow's 5 yard line.
On a straight line kick the ball was
shot across Bartow's line for a first
touch down by Whitehurst. No more
scoring done in the first quarter.
The second quarter passed uneventfully, both teams being forced to punt
frequently.
In the second half Bartow received
the ball with Snedigar kicking off.
Stetson gained another touch down
in this quarter. Snedigar made this
touch down.
On account of approaching darkness
the last quarter was cut down to 10
minutes. The ball exchanged hands
several times in this quarter. Stetson
rallied at the last, advancing the ball
in straight line bucks five and ten
yards at a play. Just as Stetson was
about to score again, time was called.
The forward passes were worked
with great success by Murphy and Calf
Jackson.
Overby and Stanley played the
best game for Summerlin. The Bartow
team treated our team in a gentlemanly
way, and the Stetson boys wish to
thank the Bartow boys for a pleasant
trip. On account of inclement weather
the crowd was small, but enthusiastic.
On Thursday afternoon Stetson will
meet the Jacksonville team. Don't
fail to be present.
rRAMMAR.
Grammar is an invention to make
conversation difficult.
It is an ever-present aid to the
comic critic and a slight criterion of
social standing.
If a man have cash and no grammar he can get through, but if he have
neither cash nor grammar he is impossible.
And yet when a man says to you,
"If I had have knowed that you
would have came I wouldn't have went
till I seen you," you understand him
perfectly.
If you ask him to lend you $10, and
he says to you simply, "I hain't got
no money nohow," you do not require
a diagram.
Even when someone splits an infinitive and confuses his "wills" and
"shalls," his meaning is clear even to
the most cultured minds.
Speech is the vehicle of thought,
and grammar is merely the gilt on the
wheels.
Bad grammar, like bad language, is
always learned from the neighbor's
children.
Addisonian construction and Ches-
terfieldian elegance is always inherited
from your side of the family.
One form of grammar was invented
by a man named Harvey. The Harvey who invented the sauce—■
But sauce may at times be good
grammar.
Grammar was hammered into you at
school, until now you can shudder
when someone says "had saw," but
offhand could you name the eight
parts of speech?
Nine, indeed ? We might have known
that.—W. D. Nesbit, in the Chicago
Evening Post.

As there was considerable business
on hand, the program was deferred
until the more important items of
business had been disposed of. The
selection of a debating team to eet
the Stetson "Lifts" was taken up,
the club having already communicated
to the S. L. S. an acceptance of the
latter's challenge in the following
form:
The Kent Club hereby accepts the
challenge of the Stetson Literary Society to debate on the evening of
the second "Saturday in the winter
term of 1911, according, to the terms
of said challenge.
Messrs Sellers, McCaskill, and Strum
were selected to serve on the Kent
Club team.
It was also voted to challenge the
law department of Mercer University,
Macon, Ga., to debate, and Messrs.
Spencer, Jones, and Strum were appointed to open negotiations and arrange
the details.
The debate for the evening was very
interesting, Mr. Marion on the affirmative winning out over Messrs. Cassels
and Whitsett on the negative; the
subject being, "Resolved, That the
issuing of injunctions by Federal Courts
in labor disputes should be forbidden
by Congress."
After the debate, Rev. Lampkin
and Prof. Pattishall each gave a most
enjoyable talk, appreciated greatly
by the members.
