Freshies Lose by 19-5, and Kaps Take One Out of Three With Sigs. Class baseball made its debut when the Tech boys crossed bats with the ubigiutous Freshies this week. According to the Annual, the Freshies have a class roll of forty-one from which to select a team. This would indicate that the children could put out a winning team, but the facts proceed to blast such ideas. Manager Gill arranged his cohorts as follows, to oppose the men chosen by Selden: Fresh. Tech. Bradley, c _ Allen, c. Hale, p Vann, p. Hodgden, 1st Miller, 1st Gill, 2nd Keown 2nd Conrad, s.s Hon, s.s. Walker, 3rd Selden, 3rd Peterson, l.f .Liddell, l.f. Padgett, cf Phillips, cf Dickey, r.f Thatch, r.f. The preliminaries dispensed with the occupants of Science Hall proceeded to throw cold water in liberal quantities on the Freshies dreams of supremacy, i. c, they batted Hale to the West fence, knocked Hodgden out of the box, and made Conrad feel like thirty cents, etc. In other words, the final score stood 19-5 in favor of the Tech boys. Phi Kaps vs. Sigs. The Phi Kaps made firm resolutions to cop the last game of the series from the Sigs, and incidentally they succeeded. The boys from down on Michigan Avenue took a handsome lead of five runs or so in the first two or three innings. But errors in the field coupled with a rally on the part of the Kaps reversed matters, so that the mighty Haskins yielded up the box to Merritt, who failed also to deliver the goods. The final score was 10-9 in favor of the Phi Kaps. The line-up was as follows: Phi Kappa Delta Sigma Nu Geo Selden, c. Widen an, c Ed. Mickle, p Haskins, p Turnquist, 1st.. Fisher, 1st Gardner, 2nd Gautier, 2nd Farris, s.s Conrad, s.s. Wm. Mickle, 3rd Merritt, 3rd 1914 OSHIHIYI. A RAPID REVIEW OF THE YEAR BOOK. First Attempt of Class of '15. Time Record For Next Year. The Oshihiyi is out. That's one point in its favor—its out on time. And there are other merits too that attach to this year's Annual, the first ever gotten out by the Junior Class. The fact that it opens sidewise instead of lengthwise is an improvement over the old form, but it throws most of the pictures lop sided, a defect easily cured by a little neck twisting. To pass to more important details, the cuts are very good—that is, some of them. Most of them do justice to the celebrities they represent. But there are others that the least said the better for them. "The Importance of Being Earnest," group, for instance. But the majority of these pictures are very good and as the main interest of the annual is in its pictures, this one in this respect gives thorough satisfaction. But speaking of the print that is sandwiched between these pictures—well, its original, to say the least; If any merit lies in originality this is certainly one meritorious book. But as to the quality of this originality, much of it is the kind that hurts. Of all the bum poetry that was ever pulled off on an unsuspecting purchaser of a book, this collection is certainly the most worthless land pointless. But of course this lis a bane that is always attendent I with original compositions. Another just criticism of this I annual lies in the fact that there is entirely too much filler in it, and not enough live stuff. It contains short stories, novelettes, histories and historiettes, etc. Eight pages are given to the "Oshihiyi" and a bit of Seminole poetry and eighteen pages to this limouristic poetry, etc. But. possibly this couldn't be helped, for we all know what an arduous task it is to fill up GLEE CONCERT. WOMEN OF SCHOOL TO SING MAY 12. First Coed Glee Club Organized This Year Flourishes. ATHLETIC OUTLOOK. GENERAL CLEANUP BY DEAN SMITH DUE. Continued on Page 8 Hale, r.f MacPher. r.f. Hammond, cf .Braunlich cf. Beatty, Lf._ Griffin, l.f. Chas. Walker, r.f On May 12 there will be given an unique concert by a Glee Club picked from the young ladies of the school. In these days of suffragist uprisings and Mexican wars, together with other surprises of a similar nature, comes a Club to Stetson composed entirely of women whose avowed purpose is to turn out a regular "Glee" program that will surpass anything of a similar nature ever given here. And they will do it, that is Anyway it seemed extremely likely that they would according to the humble judgement of a member of the Collegiate staff who crept in on one of their rehearsals Monday evening. The young ladies were singing the "Greeting to Spring" set to thc music of the Beautiful Blue Danube and the "pep" put into it by the eighteen odd members would cause any of this pas*" season's buds to start something. Besides this number there will be sung "Car- mena," selections from the "Talcs of Hoffman," the "Bridal Chorus" from the "Rose Maid." All of these pieces will be sung by the entire club but there also is some individual work. Miss Des- damona Bates will give some of her inimitable readings, Miss Husband will sing a solo, and Miss Ruth Cullen and Miss Constance Waterman will both give violin obligatos. Judging from thc rehearsal the concert will be one that the music lovers of DeLand can ill afford to miss. The whole performance is good from beginning to end and the young ladies are to be congratulated upon their work. The two organirers, Miss Mildred Vorce and Miss Katherine Harkness, together with Miss Agnes Husband as director, have started a most worthy institution, and deserve all kinds of success for their efforts. o Three Games Signed—Four More in Sight Assures Successful Season. A course of four years at Oberlin consumes two months of that time in taking examinations. The athletic prospects of next year are undoubted ly of great interest to every studenl of the University. The committee recently appointed by Dr. Hulley has been busy trying to work up a schedule and Mr. Smith, the Chairman of our Athletic Committee, visited last week Gainesville and Jacksonville to confer as to dates, conditions, etc. The University of Florida will not play us under any circumstances until we are a member of the S. I. A. A. So there will be no games with Florida next year. We have been openly hostile to them this year, blacklisting their coach and several players, and they refuse to have any further relations with us until we arc subject to the same coin lit ions as they. So far two football games only have been arranged one with Kings College to be played in He Land in October, and another just recently signed up with Mercer to be played in J [lie on Nov. i 1, and under S. 1. A. A. rul It is probable thai we will also have games with Rollins and Southern. Florida will play them al There are also good pi for one or two □ with the Ji ille Athli .Ra tion. So we will probably have a r loot ha 11 schedule next • than this, six or more games instead of three. It remanis to In- seen whether the v.ill lag when there is no j n i a game with the State University. For baseball or basketball, no schedule has been attempted, there will be time enough for thaT next year. However, in this are not bound by any external rules and there seems to be no reason why a full in both these sports can uoi be arranged. There seems, now, to be lit tic- ground for the pessimi'' of many students who hold that athletics at Stetson are dooi under any circumstances. If the full six games in football an Continued on Page 8
