STETSON COLLEGIATE WEEKLY y 4*4-1. s~ Hi For and by the Students of Stetson. VOLUME 31, NO. 11 J. B. STETSON UNIVERSITY, DELAND, FLORIDA TUESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1922 HATTERS OUT-PLAY TARS BUT ARE OUT-LUCKED, CLASSIC OF YEAR PROVES ROLLINS WINNER Thanksgiving was a day of thanks on only one side insofar as a football game was concerned. Rollins while winning a heartbreaking game against Stetson was outplayed in every phase of the game. It is not the editor who makes this statement, but the people who attended the game who generally concede that Stetson outgeneraled, outplayed and outclassed the Rollins beeves. Having a light team, both backfield and line the Hatters gave one of the grandest scraps that has been witnessed in the borders of this state. A crippled team cannot play uniform ball and crippled as Stetson was the "work of the team against such odds is of very high order. Beginning the journey to Rollins College on the morning of the game the team arrived in very good shape, no injuries being sustained on the road. The game was played on a bed of sand- spurs near hole eleven on the golf links at Winter Park. The student body was well represented at the game, there being about one hundred .and fifty present. Spirit was there in plenty and Rollins was drowned out. The game with Rollins closed the season for Stetson, six games being played, with results as follows: Stetson 53, Southern 0; Stetson 32, Palatka Legion 0; Stetson 52, Ft. Lauderdale Legion 0; Stetson 0, Tampa Legion 17; Stetson 32, Southern 6; Stetson 0, Rollins 25. The season has been successful as a whole. The game with Rollins was ble, Rollins recovering.

Rollins is a mortal enemy of the Hatters, there has always been cotopetvtftJiilfrettweeh the two for scholastic honors and heretofore Stetson has had the upper hand. The disgrace which the defeat of Thursday has brought us must be wiped out and in royal fashion. Never again shall Rollins cross the Hatter goal line. The game Thursday is one of much fight, frequent punting and loss of the ball characterize the game. Stetson had no breaks during the game, while Rollins had all. Much credit must be given to the Rollins halfbacks and the tiny quarter. Teare is a wonderful player, having had a number of years in Ohio with various teams and garnering a bit of useful experience. x- $2.00 PER YEAR starred for the Tars, making |.; decidedly better showing than any j ;f his team mates. Layton for the j Jatters repeatedly broke through the j -dfcir line and threw the Tar backs for :;. loss. Layton played a jam up game. Big Schu played the whole j.;ame through with a broken side. Uowen showed great headwork Throughout the game. We wish that 'owen would return to Stetson next I^-ar and direct the team. Morgan Was plowing through making a number of substantial gains and play- the game all the way through. I. oof out on end played at his best. I.oll'ns repeatedly attempted to get b|m out of the game but all attempts vere very unsuccessful. The Rollins' men knew the value of Goof, he having played with Rollins last year and making a great record. The Rollins game closed the season. Basketball soon starts. The I utters have held the championship since the beginning except last year. This year we must hark back to old habits and run off with the champion- snip. The football team has a very good record. Stetson has won four oilt of six games. The University of Florida now has the state championship. Shall it rest with them next year. Shall Stetson awaken to the possibilities, a crack football team and then we have the highest of institutions in the state. The initial s< ep was taken tbrs year and once started we believe that the good tiring will be kept going till finished. x :— CONTROL THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY SEASON ENJOYED BY ALL THE STUDENTS REPORTS OF TURKEYS HAVING BEEN MURDERED INDISCRIMINATELY. "He had all the curves in the w^rld and speed to burn but he couldn't get them over." That 'is the way Manager Stovall, of the Vernon Tigers, classified a pitcher whom he regretfully released a few days ago. The man had everything that goes to make a good pitcher except control. Of what good is it to be an expert :j4*r.- <•-.-." .-Vh-oct ynr energies where they will be of benefit? "Control" with a pitcher means where he can place the ball "Control" with the man in business or professional life means what he can do with himself. Lack of control means idleness, drunkenness, surrender to passion ,giving way to temper. If you lack control you'll be given your "release" early in the game of life.—Selected.

THE ISSUE Two mighty Forces are struggling today for Mastery in the life of every American College Man. The one asks him to strive for Wealth as the end and aim of life. The other calls upon him to strive first of all for Human Welfare. The one insists that progress be measured in terms of manhood. The one holds that man tfves in order to make a living. The other holds that a man lives in order to make a life. The one is vulgar and declares that the salvation of the world depends solely upon muscle and mind. The other is reverent and declares that salvation can come to men only through firm faith in an overruling providence. The one is largely responsible for the tragedy of World War. The other must be the basis of an enduring peace. Stetson stands for Christian Idealism. Stetson stand for Christian Idealism. Y. M. C. A. THE CREED FOR A COLLEGE MAN I am a man, a Stetson man, and an American. I owe a duty to myself and, before anything else, I propose to develop a useful well-rounded manhood. I propose to give my college at least a fair opportunity to develop whatever possibilities of usefulness are latent in my life. I propose also to prepare myself for intelligent, conscientious, and active citizenship. I believe that a well-rounded man must be strong at every point—strong in body, strong in mind, strong in spirit. As a college man I can best develop my mind by setting aside a fair part' of each day for diligent application to the classroom work assigned, and also a reasonable time to literary pursuits. I can best develop my spirit life by talking with the Father of my spirit, by reading each day a portion of His Word, and by allying myself whole-heartedly with the Christian forces on the campus and in the church. This for myself. I believe that I must give to. my college the best I have of enthusiasm, of diligence, of service. My fellow-students and I are a distfnet community, and my conduct as a citizen of that community is going to be an indication of my future conduct as a citizen of my state. If I do not conduct myself on the campus and elsewhere in a spirit of loyalty to the government that my fellows have set up for themselv^;- the probability is that later, as a citizen of my state, I shalpnot well fulfill my duties of citizenshrp. I believe also that Stetson has a right to expect me to give a good account of myself when, some day as my Alma Mater, she asks me what I have done for the improvement of my fellows and myself. I hereby acknowledge her as my intellectual mother. I shall love her, and, I shall be loyal to her. This for Stetson. I believe that if I live up to the foregoing artrclcs of this creed, I shall become a useful citizen of my country, and that if I fail to do so, I cannot be the kind of American a Stetson man ought to be. This for my country: I pledge my loyalty to myself, my college, my country, and my God. The past week-end with i-ts day of grace and the holiday season, found a large number of the students journeying homeward. There were some who went in a different direction from Orlando, and so were unable to get to the game, but those who were traveling homeward in that direction or were holidaying in that vicinity took advantage of the opportunity of seeing the clash. Wednesday at noon was the time celebrated by Chaudoin as the Turkey-meal, and the menu consisted of turkey, with dressing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, creamed peas, celery, hot rolls, grapes, pie a la mode. This meal was enjoyed by several members of the faculty with the students and proved to be a very enjoyable ocassion just proceeding the Thanksgiving season. It was considerate of the school to allow the students to make up Friday on the Saturday prior to Thanksgiving, making it possible for many of them to spend the entire time, after the game, at home. If the precedent that has been established could be adopted as regular practise by the school, it would seem that it would be profitable for all involved. FACTS ABOUT CIGARETTES FROM AMERICAN YOUTH Hudson Maxim, the noted inventor of explosives says: "The cigarette is a maker of invalids, criminals and fools." The Cadillac Motor Company, of Detroit, employing more than 7,000 men, announce: "We will not hire anyone whom we know to be addicted to this habit." Thomas A. Edison, of world-wide fame, points out the harm in this practice, and says: "I employ no person who smokes cigarettes." Henry Ford, maker of automobiles, says: "The boy or young man whose brain is fogged by the use of cigarettes finds himself hopelessly handicapped." Ty Cobb, famous baseball player, adds: "Cigarette smoking stupifies the brain, saps vitality, undermines one's health, and lessens the moral fibre of the man." James Gilmore, missionary to Mongolia, said as he emptied the liquor that had been left in his room, "It had better be on God's earth than in His image." % TO OUR COACH YOUNG MEN'S BIBLE CLASS Our Coach, he who has directed us through a successful season, is to be credited with much of the honor and praise for the victories of the past season. Our Coach has worked each day, given each man the same opportunity, and in every way endeavored to make the season a greater success. To him must we give thanks, he has earned them. Taking a practically raw bunch of men and developing the team which has so well represented Stetson is not an easy job. It is an almost impossible feat to accomplish. Speaking then for the student body which this paper has attempted to represent, we give thanks to our Coach, we give many thanks, we give congratulations also. To those who have also come daily to the practice field and given a helping hand when ever needed, we offer thanks, the fruit of our minds. For the team which has gone into the field at each game we have but to say, "Our Coach built that team," and the listener must congratulate the Coach. For many years we have had the same coach, his efforts were not fruitless as may be seen by consultation of records. Those who have played under him can all vouch that he has given them a square deal, they can say that he has worked for them and not against them. He has not had the best material with which to work, that us to his good. Often he has been without the man he needed, can a team be built without players? No reasonable man would admit that it could. Then we must again say that the impossible has been accomplished in nearity. All our thanks go to Horace Allen who has striven always for STETSON. x HOUSE PARTY Miss Abbie Lapham entertained a number of guests at her home in Cocoa last week. All the pleasures to be had were enjoyed at this enjoyable party and all the good eats were also prominent. Miss Lapham entertained in her beautiful home several ladies and Messrs. Homan Scott, Edwin Drew and Niles Cunningham. All returned declaring that they had the best 'time that they ever had and wishing that Thanksgiving came once a week and not once a year. The young men's Bible class of the Baptist Church met last Sunday morning as usual. The attendance was even less than it has been. This falling off is easily explained by the fact that a great number of the fellows had not returned from their Thanksgiving trips. But the few that were there showed a great deal of enthusiasm for the growth of the class. The problem of the enlistment of more of the college fellows was discussed, and it was decided that the best way to accomplish this task would be through some social activity. A committee was appointed to draw up plans for a social to be held some time in the near future. It is not known definitely whether this social will be given before or after the Christmas holidays, but it is hoped that it will be the means of getting more of the young men of the town and University interested in the kind of work that the Berean Class is doing. I The lesson for last Sunday was a missionary lesson. The scripture I basis was found in L.uke XO, in the [account of Christ's sending out the seventy men in Galilee, to preach the gospel. Paul says that God ordained that the world be saved by preaching, and this was Christ's authorization of that statement. That method has not been changed from that day to this, and it behooves us to send out missionaries, both to the home and foreign fields. God calls men for th's work, and the attitude of Christians to this call divided them into three classes; first those who feel no call, and hence are only spectators to the work; second, those who feel the call, but do not heed it; and third, those who heed the call and become missionaries. The third class are those who have surrendered themselves fully to God, and it is on such devoted Christians that the future of the world depends. Peace Conference will fail, but where men and women are afire with zeal for the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ, then the world will be safe. % GOOD BYE—GOD BLESS YOU I love the words—perhaps because When I was leaving mother, Standing at last in solemn pause We looked at one another, And—I saw in mother's eyes The love she could not tell me— A love eternal as the skies Whatever fate befell me; She put her arms about my neck And soothed the pain of leaving, And though her heart was like to break, She spoke no word of grieving; She let no tear bedim her eye For fear that might distress me, But, kissing me, she said good-bye, And asked our God to bless me.
