WAS RESULT OF GAME WITH JAX. STARS. 'Varsity Had to Content Itself With Tying Score. On last Friday the 'Varsity crossed bats with an all-star club from the bustling Metropolis. The game, despite the score of 1-1 was slow, as the Jax. pitcher had an aggravating way of taking his time. Brower's home run was the only feature of the game from the local standpoint. The Jax. team played pretty good ball, but both clubs seemed to be afflicted with the sleeping sickness or hook worm. The game by innings follows: First Inning. Spottswood walked. Next man fanned.

St. Augustine Defeated 14-4 But Duval Wins By One Point. Continued on Page i The big trip of the Girls' Basket Ball team to St. Augustine and Jacksonville resulted in victory at the Ancient City and defeat at Jacksonville. The party left DeLand Friday noon, arriving in St. Sugustine in time to play the game scheduled there for 7:30, in the Y. M. C. A. The girls of St. Augustine played a good game, but Stetson's team outclassed them at several points. The score resulted in 14-4, in Stetson's favor. The heavy rain Saturday morning interfered with the plans of the team, and kept them from seeing as much of the city as they had intended, but a most enjoyable morning was spent with the High School girls. Arriving in Jacksonville at 3:20, the Stetson crowd were shown about town, and entertained royally by the Duval girls. The game was called at 7:30 Saturday night, and was played on the floor of the Y. M. C. A. This was the hardest game yet played by our team this season. Duval put up a splendid game, and our girls did their best to bring victory to the Green and White. But the final score was 24 23 in favor of Jacksonville. The girls worked hard, but were unable to gain the needed points. The work of the Stetson centers should be commended. In Dorothy Loomis and Catherine Haynes, Stetson has a pair of strong players, who can be depended on to play their part of the game. Edna Lewis and Louise Hulley as forwards, played a good game, while Wiletta Elliott and Kathryn Dunning, our guards, held down the Duval forwards, altho the Jacksonville girls outclassed them in size. Sara Smith accompanied the team as substitute: Mr. Weir and Mr. Dunkle went on this trip with their team, which they have made one of the best in the State. Miss Holden chaperoned the party. TO BE OR NOT TO BE. A MEMBER OF THE S. I. A. A. Was Topic Up to Athletic Meeting Last Week—Brot Important Questions. ANNUAL CELEBRATION. OF ANNIVERSARY OF DELTA MU CHAPTER Last Thursday at the call of Dr. Hulley the young men of the University assembled in tin! Auditorium to discuss the advisability of our entering the S. 1.1 A. A. A red hot meeting it was,' too, with many champions of each side insisting that to adopt the other side meant athletic ruin. The question is one of such great importance that Dr. Hulley allowed the meeting two whole school periods, and even then it was deemed advisable to put off for a while the final decision of the question. It will probably be decided by a student vote at the athletic meeting next week. Dr. Hulley opened the meeting by reading from the rule book of the S. I. A. A., and pointed out the practical impossibility of our putting a winning football team on the field under these rules. If we enter, he said, we are barred from games with Rollins and Southern who are not and will not be members of the S. I. A. A. And our geographical situation would prohibit our getting scarcely any games out of the State. A baseball he thought we won Id be greatly handicapped because of the very few eligible teams for us under these rules. Captain Swink went on record as being opposed to our entering the S. I. A. A. As he saw it would be athletically a pra< j impossibility. And he thought we !do not need the S. I. A. A. either I in baseball or football. Mr. Colton said he thought we could play Rollins and Southern as High Schools under S. I. A. A. Rules just as Florida had done, but Dr. Hulley said that if we enter S. I. A. A. we would live up to the letter of the law and would not try to evade any of the rules. Haskins spoke, as he said,, from a football point of view. As he saw it, staying out of S. I. A. A. meant death to football. Rollins and Southern, he believed, would not have teams at all next year. The scores this year had cured them of the football fever. And outside of the State practically all Sigma Nu Fraternity Holds Joyous Celebration Last Week.
