It is encouraging both basket ball and tennis among the young men. That this is a popular movement is proved by the hearty response of the young men in these departments to the call only this but the entire student body seems happy over the prospects and is interested in the practise games. But as manager of the basket ball team I must confine my remarks to basket ball. P'ur- ther reason for this is; am trying to forget the way "Big Sepueedunk" "put it over" me at the opening of the tennis temrnament now in progress. I was glad to notice the eagerness of the fellows to begin basket ball practice. They could hardly wait for the baskets to be installed. This is che proper spirit, and I want, right now, to express my appreciation of it. Keep it up, fellows. Don't let your interest wane. Our success will depend upon your loyalty and stick- to-it-iveness. Our Gym equipment for practise is second to none in this state—and that h putting it mildly. Let us show our appreciation for these things by putting out the best team in Florida. A good schedule is being arranged. We are trying to get games with the University of Floriela, Rollins, Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Palatka, Orlando and Southern College. These places all boast of strong teams. They will test our ability for every team in the state considers it a greater honor to win from Stetson than from any other. The young ladies have established a good record in basket ball. We can afford to do no less. Let us try to do even better than they. This is easier said than done; so let us work hard. Our prospects are good. About fifteen men have so far reported for practise, and more are expected to come out. Taylor, Vinson, McDermond, Phillips and possibly several others have had previous experience, and are playing gcod ball. But when it comes time to choose a team it will be a difficult task, for all, both new and old, are showing good playing ability. No one knows who will make the team, so practise hard and faithfully; by so doing you may be selected to represent your University. The Teams for Saturday's Game. N.

E. church arranged a most novel and enjoyable evening's entertainment, last Friday. Those who attended this function had a splendid time. Great credit is due the managers and promoters. Miss C. Waterman (upon entering the library and seeing the palms)—"Oh, I would just love to be married in here!" Mr. Bly says no one can appreciate this who did not see the expression of Miss Waterman's face and her enraptured gaze and gestures. LELAND T. POWERS UNIVERSITY AUDITORUM, DEC. 13. Admission 50c.
