ENTERTAINS INSPECTOR FROM FLORIDA Boys Have Gay Time During Week End. MERCER TAKES TWO FROM CRIPPLED TEAM "BROOKS AT STETSON. li I WILL BE GIVEN IN AUDITORIUM TONIGHT. The boys of the Phi Beta Psi Fraternity celebrated in great style the arrival and visit of Mr. Robert R. Taylor from the Alpha Tau Omega Chapter at the University of Florida, during Saturday and Sunday of last week. The Phi Beta Psis are petitioning the Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity for a charter, and the visit of Mr. Taylor was one of the important steps in that direction. The A. T. O's. have chapters at Mercer, Tech, Emory, Georgia State, and Florida, and some sixty odd others scattered over the United States. If the boys of Phi Beta Psi are successful in obtaining a charter of this strong national, it will be a valuable asset, not only to them, but to the whole university as well. Saturday afternoon was spent looking over the campus and buildings, and in a trip to DeLeon Springs. In the evening a banquet was given in Mr. Taylor's honor at the College Arms, at which speeches were made by Everson, Dineen, Varn, Longstreet, and the guest. After the banquet, the fellows adjourned to the dorm, where until a late hour, a hilarious time was indulged in. Sunday afternoon the boys went to Daytona Beach in cars, and enjoyed a spin up and down) Florida's famous "Long Beach." j Dinner was served at the Claren-' don Hotel, which was the head-1 quarters for the occasion. The party returned to DeLand | at a late hour, and spent most of the remaining hours of the night entertaining and having a general good time, until Mr. Taylor left on the early morning train for Gainesville. The Phi Beta Psi Fraternity received a visit from Mr. Harold F. Wilson of the Mt. Union A. T. O. Chapter a few weeks ago; and Mr. Everson spent several days at Gainesville the first of the month in the interests of the local organization. Pick-Up Bunch Fail to Deliver Goods and Get Trimmed. The first game was interesting indeed, even though we received a sad defeat. Our boys had never played together before, several of them had not played in a single game this year. So it was to be expected that errors, and generally weak fielding and hitting would ensue. Mercer got a run in the first inning without a hit, or the semblance of one being made. Our boys fanned in order before the opposing pitcher who seemed to have a little something on his slants. The third was the liveliest of the game. Mercer landed on Hodgden in good shape and pounded out four hits which coupled with two errors and a passed ball, netted four runs. Our youngsters took one on Wideman's bingle. In the fifth Mercer's twirler went fine, and struck out Hodgden, Hale and Gill in rapid succession, while his mates annexed another tally on an error. A couple of safe hits added another in the sixth, and likewise the famous seventh. This seventh showed some of that old time Stetson comeback, even in our bantams. Merritt took first on an error, and third in a wild heave. Hull fanned, but Hogie obtained a clean single. Hale fouled out. Gill hit safely and then the mighty Wide- man, who batted a thousand in this contest, put three men on bases. But Battle flew out and the chance was lost. Mercer took two more tallies in the eighth, as a result of two men being hit and a two-bagger thereafter. In the ninth, Merrit relieved Hodgden in the box, and by a neat double play retired the side very nicely. The box score for Stetson follows: ' A.B.H. R. Battle 4 0 0 Bradley 4 10 Gardner 4 0 1 Merritt 4 1 1 Hull 4 1 0 Hodgden 3 10 Hale 3 0 1 Gill 3 1 0 Wideman 3 3 0 Second Game. The second game was more or less of a travesty on the name of baseball. Our youngsters played hard, however, and it is not right to criticise them when their ragged playing is more the fault of no practice, than any great lack of ability. It would be painful to enter upon any detailed account of the contest(?). We append the box scores, and then pass to a few questions, which we do not attempt to answer at all. Stetson. A.B.

These two defeats will go down on record just the same whether our real team played or not, and it is a burning shame and an absolute Continued on Page 7 Tonight in the university auditorium at eight o'clock the Green Room Club of Stetson is going to present the college comi ^'Brooks at Stetson." For two reasons this promises to be the best production ever given by the Club. First: The play itself is great. From start to finish there are thrilling moments connected with Stetson's winning crew. Interwoven into these crises are amusing and entertaining incidents of college life. The plot is deepened by the presence of the villian in the person of a hypnotic doctor. Fraternity affairs and especially one of the eight's fraternity pin !■ a lively part in the story. Several exquisite love matches give a most delightful touch to the strong, exciting and alarming scenes which frequently occur. Second: The second cause for this to be the finest entertainment the dramatic club has ever staged is the hard and willing work that the members of the caste have given to it. Despite the strenuous efforts of the club and of the actors, all credit for the success which is sure to attend the play belongs and is gladly given to Prof. Stover, for his efficient directing.
