STETSON COLLEGIATE WEEKLY For and by the Students of Stetson. VOLUME 31, NO. 5 J. B. STETSON UNIVERSITY, DELAND, FLORIDA TUESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1922 $2.00 PER YEAR Stetson Defeats Southern 53 to Tennis Team Wins Over Jax 3 to 1 STETSON HAS WALKAWAY OVER SOUTHERNERS The Hatters proved superior to the Southern team in the hottest initial game of the season. Superior in all things pertaining to football, training experience and team work the Hatters rushed over the Lakelanders to the score 53 to 0. Southern put up one of the best fights ever seen on Florida grids but were unable to make any headway whatever. The strength of the teams is not shown by the score of the afternoon, the strength of Southern is not ascertainable as this is the first game for them of the season and all the men have not had much experience. When Eollins plays Southern on the 11th, the sports editor of this column wonders what the score will be. Much practical knowledge was gained by both teams in the game which will aid both. The Hatters began the game with considerable speed and rush, pushing the ball forward by large gains around end and off tackle. The inter- ferance was practically unbroken in any of the plays around end. Nothing could be done to the man who carried the ball as there was five men always in the interferance and such cutting1 was never seen on the .fieid. • The two teams were very "nearly equal in weight, Stetson having a small lead in weight. Time after time the Stetson interferance carried the ball safely around an end for twenty to thirty yards. The interferance was impregnable. Several line plunges off tackle were worked with good results and the two new plays which were given out on Thursday were also worked, to advantage. The line up was as follows: Southern Stetson Townsend Left end Tatum Simms .... Left Tackle .... Layton Walker. Left Guard Tribble McRae Center Gunby K. Norton M. -..Right Guard.... Hayes Norton C Right Tackle....Schubiger Boulware Right End Boyle Sanders Quarter Back Bowen Lester Right Half Pleasants Kibler Right Half Hon Wilson Full Back Morgan Time of quarters 10-12—10-12.

Stetson University was well represented on the battle-field Saturday afternoon, and the pep was continued fro mthe chapel Friday morning through the entire game. Stu- The team looked better than it had looked before. They played better football than ever. The spirit along the side-lines could not have been beaten. The Stetson rooters exceed- dents, alumni, faculty members, and ed the Southerners on their own field, sympathisers constituted the greeny No man was ashamed of the colors Scltl an<l <wo»-y ™„„ JiJ tkom and white boosters, and the L»kelano^ people could not but see that we were solidly for Stetson. Immediately after the chapel Friday, rooters began to leave in groups, and they continued to leave until nine o'clock Friday. They 'began to arrive at Lakeland at 4:30 Friday afternoon and continued to' arrive until three in the afternoon Saturday. The green and white rooters Were all over Lakeland. When the eleven faithful . warriors lined up to protect the green and white, there must have undoubtedly been one hundred and fifty loyal supporters lined up on the side lines. the honor of loyally supporting them. It was really shameful to see the pretty white and blue jersies of the Southern team get rolled around so much, but when they hit the Hatter's line it was time for their pretty new suits to get dirty—and they got dirty. The score of the same was the highest for a number of years, and the student body has a right to jpride itself in the football team. The spirit of the green and white rooters was also invincible and the bootball eleven may be encouraged by the fact that they are backed by the entire school. STATE CHAMPS GO UNDER ARNESPERGER AND EDGAR The Stetson Tennis Champions literally walked away with the Jacksonville net stars. Some of the best tennis ever seen in this state was witnessed last Saturday when the Jacksonville players lost to the Hatter Champs by the score of three to one. The most beautiful singles was the one between Edgar and Christie in which Edgar exhibited some wonderful tennis but was beaten by small scores. Edgar showed better tennis than ever before and should have won his match. One of Edgar's ability is very hard to find in or out of the state. The scores between Edgar and Christie were seven-five, two-six, four-six. The doubles between Dogget and Christie against Arnesperger and Edgar were also-very beautiful. The Jax men loosing the lead held over the Hatter club to the score of three- nothing. Stetson regained her powers here and throughout the remainder of the matches lead the day. Rose and Arnesperger did not cause much jnterest, Arnesperger running away with the pride of Jax. Rose lost the sets to the tune, six- one and six-four. Arnesperger showed best form in these sets and walked away with the match without any difficulty. The best doubles of the day were between Hose-Bishop and Arnsperger- Edgar. These were the hardest games of the day and Stetson grabbed the' victory only by hard fighting, the score being seven-five and eleven-nine. a forward pass. Bowen fumbled and Crowley fell on the ball. Pleasants intercepted a forward pass. Bowen passed 25 yards to Scott, and the whistle blew for the finish. Stetson 53, Southern 0. % THE TRUCK TO LAKELAND WALKING TO A FOOTBALL GAME PRESIDENT HULLEYS MESSAGE TO THE STUDENTS First of all I hereby tender my congratulations to the victorious athletes- who contested in all the games last Saturday. You deserve to be happy because of the clean manly way in which you conducted yourselves. And you deserve the felicitations of all your comrades, for your success. The reports came to me early Saturday evening when I was at work in my study that our football team has swept the field and hung up one of the highest scores ever made in Florida; and also that our tennis team at Jacksonville had smoother- ed their apponents under an avalanch of gilt-edged tennis. These results do not surprise me. I should have been surprised had they been different. I had a score tacked up on my desk. The players exceeded my expectations in regard to the score, but not in regard to the victory. All through the term I have kept my eye on the conditions under which the fellows were training. I always do that. Last year I did it, and predicted the result which came in due time and saddened us all. The credit for this work must be given to Mr. Horace Allen, first of all. He is the same coach that we had last year. Mr. Allen could not have brought victory, however, if he had not had the support of our splendid athletic director, Prof. Colton co-operating from the faculty side, and the splendid co-operation of the warriors on the gridiron who furnished the skill and the brawn for the execution. The first effect of this victory is one of great satisfaction to all the students, but will it turn our heads? It has danger elements in it. If any football player goes around the campus with his nose in the air looking cocky, in an attitude to receive the plaudits of the fellows, he is a menace to the team and to its success in the next game; and my advice to the coach would be to get a bucket of ice-water and pour it on his head to reduce the swelling. There is always danger in victory. It makes one feel too sure. It causes one to throw down his guards and so he prepares the way for defeat in the next encounter. Humility and hard work and obedience to descipline are what we must have from now on, every day throughout the entire season. There must be no slumping. There must be no boasting. There must be no depreciation of opponents. I trust that Coach Allen and Prof. Colton will subject to serce descipline. The best man on the team, if he fails to toe the mark, keep the rules, obey orders and play the game. Every player on the team has the warm support of the student body. We are all proud of these victorous heroes. We give them their due need of praise. And inasmuch as the team is our team. And inasmuch as the hearts of a\\ the fellows are in the team, and inasmuch as we are all backing the team with money and praise and student pride, we want the team to go out and drill, drill, drill. There are hard days ahead. There is a battle to be fought on Thanksgiving day that will cover the student's head with either shame or glory. Now is the time to decide which it shall be. H will be too late on the day of the contest. The game is to be won now, not then. Saturday morning, after a large number ttf (ars nad already left for Lakeland, a large International truck loaded to capacity with Stetson rooters started on the tour through the state with Lakeland as their objective. Just as the early streaks of day-light were beginning to steal through the darkened heavens the truck started on its long journey. Those who were to have the pleasure of taking the trip did not fail to remember that everything about the trip must count for Stetson; so the truck itself was decorated in every respect with the beautiful colors that the entire student body, faculty, and alumni were supporting that day and that eleven men were to defend. Stetson banners were flying on every side in order that none might be mistaken as to the identity of the colors. Every opportunity to advertise Stetson was used to the best advantage. While passing through Sanford, Winter Park, Orlando, Kissimmee, Haines City, and other towns, Stetson songs were sung and cheers were,, given for the green and white. No man on the truck hesitated to tell the state where they were going and what they were going to do to Southern. The sun. was rising as the "pull- man" steamed away from DeLand; it was slowly sinking as the same car started on the return Trip to DeLand; and before the fellows were safe on the Stetson campus again, the sun was again beginning to break through the sky. . Many experiences were encountered on this trip that will remain in the minds of the lucky fellows for years to come? No "log" could have been kept of the trip, but suffice it to say that the 26 boys that remained on the truck for 25 hours will long remember the Stetson-Southern trip. Among the old Stetson students seen along the side line were: Miss LaDelle McDonald, Messrs. Bob Davis, Bus Rascoe, Frank Larkin, Stanley Sloan, and J. F. Holtzendorf. A large group of Stetson alumni were along rooting for their alma mater, but it was impossible to get all their names. X Every now and then Bryan remembers that Pres. Harrison was 68 years old when he was inaugurated. The dead-letter office at Washington is said to be swamped with political letters—and that's where most of them belong. 1 The most fashionable form of entertainment this winter is going to be a house-warming. The president has signed a bill to prevent profiteering in coal. It will be a queer bill if it works. What better demonstration of school spirit could be asked for than for the cheer leader to park a couple of his own cars in the garage and start out walking to a football game 107 miles away? Stetson has a cheer leader with this kind of spirit, and as inconvenient as it might hav«^ been for him personally he set a worthy example, an example that was followed by about twenty others. Some one has found out that Parker refused to ride in several Fords that passed. This shows how numerous the opportunities are to get anywhere these days. Because of these refusals he arrived at Lakeland a few minutes off schedule. Yet with these he was there in time to eat supper with the football team, and put up with them at the hotel. Parker was unable to lead the cheering at Lakeland because of work on the side-lines, but between halves he was seen in his usual peppy style. , . 1 ;— GIRL WAITERS IN CHAUDOIN The Chaudoin girls have yet to fall down when a call comes for them to show the Stetson spirit. When a call comes for cheer practice, they are found in great numbers; at all athletic events they are always along the side line; in other words, when a call is sounded for them to show their colors, green and white shows out in a prominent light. Thursday night it was rumored through Chaudoin that practically all the waiters were either going to Lakeland to play or to back the team. Without even an announcement being made by Mrs. Brown, before the supper hour was finally over, sufficient girls had voluntered to take the place of the entire group of waiters. If you failed to see those girls with their white caps and aprons on you missed a mighty fine sight. Some of them, by their actions, indicated that they were familiar with the art of serving tables and it would have been well for the Conrad boys to have watched and seen which ones were the most familiar. The student body honors the girls that volunteered to take the places of the boys who went to Lakeland. The girls are: *Misses Zilla Kitchen, Blanche Dickey, Maxine Long, Exie Farr, Sarah East- erby, Zelma Farr, Thelma Smith, Ruth Rader, Blanche Lawson, Ber- nice Thompson, Norma Barlow, and Katherine Edsell.
