This backfield and the Coach gave, with the assistance of the line, Stetson one of its greatest football seasons, and four of lahan, and Bernard are playing on the Stetson varsity cage team, and are attempting to give us a basketball team that will make all the other teams in the Soutn respect them. It is interesting to note that Covey is Captain of the hoop team, and was one of the leading players on the gridiron. 'It is strange the way coincidents take place. Last week and the week previous there appeared in the columns' of the Collegiate editorials Urging grass on the campus. The wjriter of those editorials had not noticed that the girls of Stetson hall pad already started a campaign among the girls in the hall to raise money to get grass growing. A goal of $8.50 was set as the amount to be raised in order to start grass around the dormitory. Of this amount $6 lias been raised,. and it is expected that the remainder will be raised in the near future. Go to it girls, the grass will look excellent there. . —0 Methodist Girls Are Entertained in Chaudoin Hall ecord M&cte By Stetson Eleven This Year Stetson scored 18G points to her op- , through, but he thought the otters portent's 22 points In the 1924 football | could do it better.

These,are Captain Kirk Gunby, Henry Caljahan, Baldi, Lawrence Bernard, Roy Moore, Jack Stuart, Levi Courtney, Covington, Lloyd Lay- ton, Chet Freeman, Larkin, Bob Snyder, Martin, Don Geiger, Red Silsby, and Charles Tribble. This group of names represents the best lighting machine the Stetson backers have ever witnessed in action. It also represents the nucleus, arouiid which /future lowers of strength in football will be built which will help put Stetson University high un in southern football circles. It is as a result of the records these • fellows made that more football men will be very much interested in coming to Stetson next year in order to "get in" on the future athletic records to be made here.' Stetson University is proud of her j letter men. Never has a Stetson eleven gone through a season and covered itself with more glory than has the team represented by the names given above.

This rule stands for 'basketball as well as ny other sport, and it is only right that every man and woman that is in the University should give the cage team all the yelling and paid admissions that f they possibly can, for without the necessary financial aid and without the yelling and moral support that a team should have, it will not I the successful season that we wan. them to have.

Stone, being a little man but having enough pep for two large men devoted his whole outside 'time to pre- fecting the cheering of the Stetsonites*, and in doing so worked and worked hard and it is only right that some form of appreciation should be shown him for the time and energy that he has spent in the recent football season. Many of the parades that were given in the season were the sole work of Ed, and the Staff has followed his work all through the year and has been impressed by it. The Staff of the Stetson Collegiate wishes to thank Stone for the good work that he has done and hopes that he continues during the rest of t)ie season Stetson's "S" club is yj\\nv, a REAL dance this coining Saturday night at the Commercial club- All the letter men have organized a club in order that they may advance the interests of the athletes arid athletics at Stetson, and as this is the innaugral social affair that they are giving; they desire the support of the whole student body. The proceeds of the dance will bo used to give av to this year's letter men, and in that way recognize their playing this year and in the years to ijprjie. They promise a reaL dance and one that every student in the University will be sorry if ho should by chance miss if. Plans have been made to make this one of the social events of the year, and a is being given on the evening that vacation starts, a record breaking crowd of students will, probably be there and show their appreciation and also have a lug time. If all students :tay over and delay their starting home for a few hours, they will be amply repaid, it is stated; for reports are that the "S" club can and wii. swing a dance that all will enjoy
