Both the freshmen and tne sophomores held meetings last week; and appointed committees with full - authority to take any action in regard to this meet that they deemed advisable. This meet will be held Friday morning on Cummings field with a baseball game between the rival teams in'the afternoon and probably » a basketball game between the gins ^^ of the two classes later. ^L Last year this field meet with, a Kone-day holiday was substituted in tne ■place of the annual fight between the Rtwo classes, it proved to be a great. Rsuccess, and so the repetition of the ■ plan for .this year resulted. m Definite details on the plan have I not yet been completed, but it is thought that the point system of counts will be used. The winning class will furnish 40 per cent of the cost of the picnic for the members of the two classes the next day and the losing team will furnish the remainder. At the. picnic at DeLeon Springs Saturday the aquatic meet will be held. This will not be a competition between the two classes, but between individuals. Prizes will be offered for the various events on the program. This will include fancy and straight diving, under Avater swims, plunging, back stroke swimming, relays, dashes, and other such events. The prizes .for these even!-, will be donated by DeLand merchants. The committees in charge of. making arrangements for this event are working hard (his week getting things i" ' it __ ' . ~t_ amotmin of enthusiasm will be seen on the field ! Friday morning as the contest takes place. Tbe juniors of the school will tion hand 100 per cent, to root for their sister class, the freshmen, and the seniors are expected in full force in order to' show their sister class tneir respfect: Last year the freshman class, now the sophomores, Avon from the sophomores by a margin of ten points in the field contests. The contests this year are expected to be even more evenly divided between the classes. The aquatic meet at DeLeon springs in connection Avith the picnic is an innovation as it Avas not tried last year, but already much interest nas developed in this one event. Numbers of the boys and girls have been Cal's Senators Mfe Again Downed For Third Sad Defeat Leading' League Team Only Puts Cellar Group Under by 5-4 Score Tigers 5— Senators 4. Cal's fighting Senators met their third defeat at the hands of the leading Tigers. The game may be considered as one of the best the league has seen since its beginning. The game was full of thrills. Baldi for the Tigers got the only real long hit of the game. The Senators presented the strongest lineup they have yet presented, Ray Hon new outfielder played a good game- except for a error in the first frame that cost .avo runs. Mullen's Avild heave to second bas'e to complete a double play also cost his team another tally. The Senators made three hits as compared Avith four hits made by the Tigers. Johnson, playing first base for the Senators, Avas the fielding star, he also was . quite the thing with the willow, his clean single in the second accounting for two of the' Senators' runs. The game .vas full of unique play and it took a rule book to decide what Avas right. Alderman, Callahan's neAvest catcher, made his first appearance behind the bat and did very well, though his peg was a trifle off. Buck Avas the fielding star for tLe Tigers. Tribble continued his sensational fielding and has yet to make an error. Th6 Lineup.

Immediately after the opening curtain the laughter began and? continued until the close. Every scene was full of actions which caused breaks of laughter trom the audience and caused the general verdict of th_ most entertaining olay of the year to be given—"The Whole Town's Talking." Actions which aided in making the scenes much more comical than called for in the manuscripts were carried across to perfection. The entire cast was well balanced and the various characters went through their lines and actions Avith great ease. Only once or twice was any prompting noticeable. A fairly large crowd witnessed the shoAving of "The Whole Town's Talking" last Aveek; and judging from indications evjery person go,t his money's worth, for the production seemed to make a big hit. It .vould be a difficult matter to attempt to say that any one person in the cast carried his part the best, as all did well. Mr. and Mrs. Simmons and Mr. Binney were particularly charming in their acting. Mrs. Simmons, played by Billie Sessions, was excellent when she shoAved her disgust for Mr. Simmons' actions through her use of sarcasm. Mr. Simmons, which part Edward Henderson portrayed, v/a, . (gyt^*N''v /*>>■-'<-;"_• plans for'' getting'TNiSWfaugh'ter to marry his business partner, Mr. Bin- *'ney, avIio fell in love with her. Every way be turned he took tbe Avrong step, and for a while it looked like the entire plan Avas going to fail through. Finally things worked out .as planned, but only after all kinds of complications bad been pushed out of the .way. Mr. Binney's actions 1 j were ;by. far the most amusing of the 0 entir. cast.

FORMER STUDENTS FORM PARTNERSHIP Magruder and Enwright Join in Law at Orlando —Both Sigs which he did during the entire play brought bursts of laughter from the house. Mr. Binney, played by Jake Edmunds, was probably the most popular character on tbe stage during the show. Ruth Dye carrying the part of Ethel Simmons, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Simmons, was very attractive Her whims and desires were what caused the action of the entire play. After a visit in Chicago for a few months Ethel had become )s.t on .raving a "man of tbe world" for a husband, and this desire caused her father and Mr. Binney to batcb up a love affair between Mr. Binney and a famous movie queen, Letty Lytbe, played by Lorin Goffin, who should De congratulated on ber success in the part. This love affair was entirely fictitious, but it brought the desired results, transferred tbe love of Ethe! from her Chicago society man, Mr Shields, played by Lawrence Bernard, to Mr. Binney. For tbe most part LaAvrence Bernard, playing Mr. Shields made a fine impression on the bouse. This was Lawrence's firs'*, alppear- ance on the stage with tbe Green Room Players and bis actions indicate that he will probably be used in future plays. It seems to tne writer that he would very readily play villan parts. Ladoit Riffle in tbe part of Donald Swift, motion picture director for Letty Lythe, again was popular as Avas he in former plays in which, be has taken parts. His deep voice ana large build just fitted him excellently to the part. Mary Markey's actions as the maid, Annie, furnished a large part of tbe comedy for the evening. She was es tremely comical in this part.

Mr. Milam is a very capable man, and it is anticipated that be .vill give the state •excellent service in thi. capacity. : Both Mr. Milam and his brother Robert were students of distinguished ability while at Stetson.

Others in the cast were HiUir, Car- mean, who lisped, and Grace Halde- man, girl friends of Ethel Simmons. Charles Tribble played the part of tbe taxi driver, and Lenea Stromberg played Sadie Bloom, the dancing teacher who caused Mr. Simmons trouble. Hazel Overstreet, Gerturde The third week of tbe league has just come to an end and let me say right now mat some of tbe best ball games in the state are going to be played in this league. Wben the League first started there »were numerous miscues, but as the games Went on they greAv in minority. Each day tbe runs are less as are tbe errors and hitting also. In last week's games the highest score Was ten runs ana that game Avas a tie. Why tbe student's don't come out' to see tbese games i_ a mystery to the writer as there are really some very good games being pla3red. Here for instance «._> i.:t tear, and the- first t._i_i iu the league met last week and tne scofe was five to four in faA^or of the leaders. There are a few of tbe professors and some of tbe students turning out Can you blame tbe university for not getting a good schedule with such support"? Some of you may think that the games are sIoav and uninteresting, but. right there is where you are wrong. When two: teams can battle to a five to three game £nd play eight innings in an hour and a half, you can't call it slow. When two teams can play a game in a drizzle and only make /three errors,, .you can't call it uninteresting. Wben you stop to consider that right out on your own ball field are players who could play as good as tbe state league and who in time Avill probably be playing in some fast league, you •wouldn't say that you were not getting your money's worth would you? Well if you did ana as all or you know the price (nothing), I vould bate to see you. get your money's worth.' True there are a lot of you who do not care for ball games, and .then there are some, who would rather sleep or go down to tbe movies, President Hulley has announced a j ff you have ths SDirit come out ana- change in the "usual method of band-' ghow ths bo_-_ that when the Green ling the girls' dormitories on tbe Stetson campus.
