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.

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. Business Manager's Song.
