ASSOCIATION ORGANIZED FOR NEXT FALL. Officers Elected and Important Business Taken Up Friday. The Stetson Football Association met last Friday afternoon to elect officers for the ensuing year, and to transact business. A good crowd of fellows was present. The officers for 1914 were elected as follows: President—R. M. Griffin. Vice-Pres.—P. H. Hodgden. Secretary—R. J. Longstreet. It was moved and carried that Mr. Rosa be asked to continue as treasurer, and Mr. Mickle as auditor. There was much discussion relative to the name of the organization. Some were in favor of regaining the old title of "Stetson football Association" while others advocated a return to "Stetson Athletic Association." The debate was participated in by several and finally settled by the retiring president, Benjamin Willard, who ruled that it would be out of order to "change the name of Arkansas" at this juncture. The decision was upheld. Considerable discussion was held also, relative to the selection or appointment of a manager for the foot-ball team. The high council recently inaugurated by Dr. Hulley and composed of two faculty men, two students, and the coach, seems to have more or less complete charge of football schedules and other gridiron matters, so it was finally decided to call Haskins "manager" as he was already secretary jf the "high council." • We understand that a good schedule is being arranged for next year. Probably it will be the best that Stetson has ever had. And with the faculty on the council which bosses the job, it seems as though one might have altogether a highly successful season". o Giovanni Perri hcgiratcd to Lake county where the noted Italian delivered a series of sermons to the prebendaries and other ecclesiastics in that locality. FEBRUARY 12. IS THE DATE OF MISS Mc- CUE'S RECITAL. All Proceeds To Go To Women's Athletic Association. CO-EDS WIN. EVERSON WINS. BASKETBALL GAME FROM OR- ' PRIZE FOR ORATORICAL AS- LANDO 39-18. SOCIATION FRIDAY. T Interest is increasing daily in the concert to be given by Miss McCue in the University Auditorium, Thursday evening, February 12. Tickets have been selling rapidly all the week, especially to the residents of DeLand. The students, as yet are not doing their best to make this event the success it- must be. The members of the Girls Athletic Association have loyally supported all forms of athletics, and events given for the benefit of athletics. Every student must show his interest in this first event managed by the girls association, and attend it. Miss McCue has a national reputation and it will be well worth the while of every person to hear her. The press of the country have spoken very highly of Miss Mc- Cue's concerts in other cities. Musical America says, in part: "Miss McCue was highly complimented upon the beautiful quality of her voice, the finish of her artistry, and the clarity of her enunciation." The Cleveland Press says: "Miss McCue has a magnifi- cient voice, one that combines a superb quality with remarkable volume." All who heard Miss McCue! last winter, in the Music Festival, [ here know that the work of this! contralto well justifies these com-j ments. The management of this concert is in the hands of a committee, but each student is responsible for a part of the success of this event. A certain number of tickets must be sold to pay the various expenses, and a full house is necessary to make the concert pay. This week the committee will increase its efforts, and every student must do his part to help them. The price of student tickets is thirty-five cents, while all others are fifty cents. No seats are reserved. Cathedral School Defeated in Fast Game By Large Score. Three Contestants Gave Interesting Speeches Before Crowd. Victory again rests with the Green and White of the Girls Basket Ball Team. The game Saturday morning with the Cathedral School of Orlando, resulted in the score of 39-1 b in Stetson's favor. — The entire game was the best played by the team this year. The girls showed fine team work, due to the splendid coaching they have been receiving. Mr. Dunkle and Mr. Weir have the hearty support of the basketball squad, who, under their direction, are working to turn out an invincible team. Saturday's game was well played thruout. Louise Hulley and Edna Lewis, as forwards, upheld their former reputation for a strong game, and by their good passes and basket-shooting ran up a fine score. Dorothy Loomis, as jumping center, played a fast game, out- jumping her opponent repeatedly. Catherine Haynes, at running center, played over the Cathedral center at every turn. The guards have much of the work of the game, and have a large share in making either defeat or victory. Stetson's guards, Wiletta Elliott and Kathryn Dunning, got in good passes, and deserve much credit for keeping the ball in Stetson's territory. At the end of the first half, the game was assured for Stetson, and a change was made in the line-up, the second team going in. These girls made a fine showing, and the first team girls will have to work to hold their places. If the second team continue to improve, changes will undoubti be made in the regular line-up. Some of the first team girls have been neglecting practice. Every day some player is trying out for every place, and the present first team will find themselves out of a place if their attendance is not better. The coaches are emphasizing regularity and punctuality, and Continued wTPaje 9 The long deferred annual oratorical contest of the Stetson Oratorical Association was held in the auditorium on last Saturday. evening. One of the speakers dropped out at the last moment, thus cutting down the number of contestants to three. But the three were well worth going to hear. Each of these gentlemen had been in contests and won prizes before. Everson was in the Wisconsin State Contest a few years i Tribble won first place at Columbia College last spring. Adams has on two occasions won prizes. So we had a very good contest last Week. Mr. Everson was the first speaker, his subject being, "The Spirit of Truth." The theme v. fully studied. The rhetorical effect was good. The deli excellent. We have bul one criticism: The memory was poor. And that generally speaking is the easiest of all! Mr. Everson won the medal, however, and merits the honor he received. Mr. Adams spoke on the "< pel of Service," giving us a can- fully prepared oration, and delivering it well, also. The last speaker was Mi". Tribble. The subject "Florida" well handled. Mr. Tribble has a pleasing address, and seemed to take well with 111'' audience, which by the way, was 'he best that has attended an event of this nature in ars. This is the sixth annual con anization of the j ■ ent association. The prospects for a seventh contest are bright with excellent material. We have Lawrence, winner of the "whisky league" contest, Walker, who ran Lawn such a • ond, and both Adams and Tribble, who showed up to advantage last week. And doubtless a couple of new men will enter. Well, we shall see who he may be who will add his name to the of winners which with Wideman and ends with J. son.
