The Stetson Weekly Collegiate

(Sty £>X?X&tm ITO^kly Cnllwjtato PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF JOHN B. STETSON UNIVERSITY. Vol. XXVI. No. 19. DeLand, Florida, Friday, February 27, 1914. $1.00 per Year TENNIS MATCH. WON HANDILY BY STETSON TEAM LAST WEEK. Rollins Outclassed by 'Varsity Team Saturday Morning. Those few who braved the chilling zephyrs on Saturday morning and came out to the University courts saw some of the best tennis matches that will be pulled here for many a day. On that occasion Stetson played with Rollins' best racquet wielders and added another scalp to the long string of this year. Two three set matches of singles were played and one of doubles. The first series of singles was played between Selden and Prentice. This was the closest and hardest fought of the three. Notwithstanding the cold wind a fine exhibition of tennis was put up by both men. Prentice got warmed up quicker and won the first set. This did not phase Selden in the least however. He had been watching his opponent's style of playing during the first set and by terifhc smashes from the net won the second set handily. The third was the hardest fought of all. Selden got an early lead but Prentice tightened up before he was defeated. We understand that Prentice is Junior Champion of New Jersey. Selden won the match—4-6, 6-4, ?-5. At this time the hat was passed. Any coppers contributed went toward defraying expenses of the Rollins team, and to pay for 6 tennis balls that someone stole. The doubles proved to be less interesting than the singles—since Phillips and Beatty, for Stetson, made too easy work of the Rollins team, composed of Holmes and Cornielson. There is no need of going over the play, point by point, for the score of 6-2, 6-0, best tells the tale. However, Cornielson did get away with some mighty good shots. The referee at this point became frozen stiff, was dragged from his pedestal and "Deacon" Lawrence easily prevailed upon to take his place. The cold, while it pro\ idcd some physical discomfort to the umpires, kept their tempers cool which STETSON SPLITS EVEN WITH ROLLINS. GAMES OF LAST WEEK RESULTED IN DIVIDED HONORS FOR BOTH CLUBS. "BROOKS AT STETSON" IS NEXT PLAY TO BE PRODUCED BY CLUB. Gross Shuts Out Winter Park Aggregation by Score of 3-0 in First Game, But Visitors Come Back in Second by Tune of 8-4. On Friday and Saturday of last week Stetson won one game and lost the other from the fast ball team of Rollins. The first game was characterized by good hitting and fast fielding. The twirling of Jimmie Gross brot home the "bacon" in the same old manner. In the second a young lad by the name of Barze, who once attended school here, sewed up j the game for Rollins to the tune of 8-4. The two games by innings were as follows: FIRST GAME.

The Green Room Club is at last well settled in the work of rehearsing the play "Brooks at Stetson" to be given here the last of March. The try outs were a new feature in the dramatic work here, and the interest aroused in this work thereby is a full justification of this method of choosing casts. Altogether there were more than 30 who tried out for the different parts and Mr. Stover and his assistants on the Executive Committee found it a most exacting task to choose from these a cast that would work harmoniously together with each one well suited to his individual part. The list of the cast was posted last week and the work of rehearsing started at once. However, no one so fortunate as to be assigned a part need feel too sure of his position. It is not the custom of Mr. Stover as director to push any sluggard along. They must either work or else get out and let some one get in who will. The club was organize! to give some competition for the different parts, and we believe the ken competition will make every one a work' The cast chosen is as follows: Henry BrooRJpr— J Junkie Mr. Brooks—Jennings. Mrs. Brooks -L. Hulk'.-. Helen Baldwin—M. Bkx Bah)—Ella May Dae Lord Chillingworth—Gilpal I Peter—Carl Far; Guy Marks, T. D.—Tribble. Caleb Weston—Goar. Mollie Runskool—Adams. Bill Carter—Wallbank. Prof. Dixon—Lawrence. Amy—Lena Powell. 0 PI PHI INITIATION Continued on Page 7 The Florida Alpha Chapter of the Pi Beta Phi Sorority has just announced the initiation of their six pledges, M 'lyn Beatty, Mona Bates, Ruble Jackson, Wilna Smith, Josephine St and Helen Brown.
