STETSON COLLEGIATE WEEKLY Official Student Publication of John B. Stetson University VOLUME 32 DELAND, FLORIDA, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1924. NUMBER 21. Hatters Lick Legion Team Now On Tour In a fast and one-sided game the Hatters defeated the American Legion last week by the decisive score of 46 to 14. The Legion, weakened by the loss of their star guard, Francis Whitehair, was helpless before the when they face their Northern rivals on the road trip. Captain Hobson was the individual high scorer of tbe evening. This boy has snapped out of it at last and is playing the best game of his career. terrible onslaught of the Green and I He rung up the amazing number of White. Pug Allen, playing against the team that he has successfully coached, was dazzled by the speed and sureness with which their various plays and combinations went thru. The Hatters offense was a hundred per cent better than it has been heretofore, and the entire quintet worked like a well oiled machine. The game opened with Smith dropping in a pretty field goal closely followed by Morrison't tally. The game see-sawed for two minutes and then the terrible Stetson charge started. From then on the game was theirs and at no time were they in danger. Covington thrilled the large crowd with his long shooting, dropping in four via the long distance route. Captain Hobson was right and played the best game he has this year. The last year's star dropped nine field goals through the net and one free throw. Tribble at guard, displayed some nifty floorwork and his defense was impregnable. Miller and Blakely of the Leigon featured for that side. In the second half Ossinsky sub nine baskets and tossed two field goals, for a total of twenty points, or within three points of half of the winning score. That is some feat, as there are very few basketers that toss nine baskets in a game. Our other forward, Smith, had four ringers and five fouls to his credit for actual of thirteen points. At last our forwards have come to life and from the looks of things they are going to make things lively from now on. We only hope that their shooting eyes will stay with them during the trip. This is the last game before they start the invasion of foreign territory to play some of the representative schools of Georgia and the Carolinas. Tribble and Teare at guards played the steadiest game of the evening as is shown by the low score of the Legionaires,; who only tossed four field goals, and they were all in the first half. Those two boys are certainly to be complimented, for any pair of guards that can hold Pug Allen, Lanky Miller and Stanley Culp to four goals are good.

HIGH LIGHTS ON THE GAME— Covington, our flashy center rung np the first tally of the game with in ten seconds after the whistle blew. This boy is improving all the time and is easily one of the best basketball men in the state. His floor- work was the same as always, and that is just as good as there is in the South. He is going to be a tower of strength in the Hatter line-up that are going to make Stetson star in the years to come. The work of Cox at guard was especially impressive. That lad is going to turn out to be one of the best all-round athletes that Stetson will have. For the Legion Lanky Miller was the big star. He made two of his teams four baskets and passed well. Miller was in years gone by one. of the greatest basketball and football players that Stetson has ever turned out. Lanky got flashes of the old time form at times, but was in no condition to play as of old. On the whole it was a pretty good game and hard fought from the start. It wasn't a good exhibition of basketball, but was the kind of a game that every red blooded fan loves to watch. L j St :u.tspeareanj^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ It" and "Twelfth Night."

There is good material for a great team. ' Among the student body, every man who can play baseball is expected to be on hand when practice begins. You don't have to be a big leaguer to try out. • Director Tribble and the managers are doing evefything possible to arrange a good schedule. They are negotiating with Mercer, Oglethorpe, Howard and other good_teams. It is also an intention to bring the Philadelphia Athletics here. Penn State, will tour Florida in the early part of the season. We hope to arrange games with them. Our first game is on Feb. 2 with the Hotel Ormond team. The Or- mond manager writes that Mr. Rock- feller will be on hand to witness the game,, The U. of Havana Cuba will be here for two games. Dates for these games have not been decided upon yet. You no doubt see that Stetson will have real opposition, and it means that we have got to put out to get in shape. Every man who goes out will expect the support of the whole stu dent body and he deserves it. His effort on the field will be for the school, and we can at least back them. In order to bring teams here certain financial sary. We have on sale season tick- etc. The price is $3.50. /If every student at Stetson will buy a season ticket within the next ten days it will put us in a position to close contracts with some good teams. We must have the money before we can contract. You won't lose when you buy a ticket, m fact you will gain. Ask about these tickets. Lots of the. fellows have them for sale. We would like to have some more of the student body to help with the sale of tickets * Remember—If you help us we will show you some good teams on the Stetson athletic field. But it depends on the support that we get from you towards buying and selling the season tickets. Don't wait until the umpire calls "batter up." Buy your ticket now. Our schedule depends on it. S. P.

FRATERNITY NUMBERS COMING TEAM BREAKING EVEN ON TOUR So far the boys' basketball team is breaking even on their trip up through Georgia and the Carolinas. We have no report except those that we have gotten out of Jacksonville papers. The team beat the Jacksonville Greenbacks 38 to 30 on Friday night, but lost to the Blue Jays of that city by a 39 to 17 count, Saturday night. Two games in as many days must have been too much for the boys, but we have the greatest confidence that they wiU, win the remainder of their games. We have a club to be proud of and we are backing it to the last notch. Captain Hobson, Covington and Tribble seem to be the stars so far, as the Jax papers have been loud in their praise of them. 0 And can you remember what a dollar would buy in the old days when wicked monopolies fixed prices? — Walla Walla Bulletin.

"ALL AT SEA" WILL BE PRESENTED AT MUSIC FESTIVAL The musical department of Stetson University is making final preparations for the Music Festival to be held at Stetson this month. Complete announcements will be out shortly and it will suffice for the present to assure the lovers of music in this community that a rare treat is in store for them in the program that will be offered. The first number of the program will be given on Feb. 11th. The Girls' Glee Club and the Stetson Glee Club have been drilling under the direction of Mrs. Kenefick for some length of time preparing their parts for the program. The cast for the opera "All at Sea" is drawn largely -from the two glee clubs and the costumes have already been ordered and the drill and other preparation for the presentation of the opera are getting down to the final stage. This opera will be given as one number of the program and will be staged in a number of Florida cities as well. There is a great demand for programs by either or both of the glee clubs throughout the state. O Mill Owner: "Did my foreman tell you what you will have to do?" Employee: "Yes, sir, he told me to wake him up when I see you coming." During the spring The Collegiate will have many special issues. It is the intention of the editor to dedicate one issue of the paper to each of the fraternities and sorrorities. . We believe that in this way a greater fellowship will be brought out, and the records of achievements of each organization will be put before the eyes of the entire school. All possible material for their respective issues will be left up to the fraternities themselves, so that they may really call it their own issue, and send it to their friends and associate chapters to show what they are doing. Will the several fraternities please get busy and get together their reports so that when the time comes nothing but the finishing touches will have to be put on? The dates will be announced in the near future. O SIGMA NU Jack Teare, Covington and Hobson left Friday morning with the basketball team. While away they will play games in Jacksonville, Georgia and South Carolina. Ed Pinkerton and George Wood spent the past week end at Ed's home in Cocoa. George says after meeting all the Cocoa girls he is still true to Moron. Harry Tuttle and Thomas drove up to Jacksonville Friday, accompanied by Harvy's father to spend the week-end. Mr. Harry Tuttle left for his home in Miami Sunday night, after spending the past two weeks in DeLand with his son, Harry. Ralph Sellers is back in school after several days of illness. Wallace Davis spent the week-end at his home in Orlando. Courtney spent the week-end at his home in Palmetto,"motoring down on the Harley. Mr. Courtney also visited Tampa and attended the South Florida Fair. Jim Pollard spent Monday and Tuesday in Jacksonville where he took his Masonic degree. MUSICAL RECITAL ON FEBRUARY 7TH An informal recital will be given in Stetson auditorium at 4 p. m., on Thursday, Feb. 7th, by the pupils of Mrs. Kenefick and M?.-. Duckwitz. While the program is arranged so as to entertain the audience, the object of these recitals is to train the students in music in ^elf-reliance especially for their public appearance. Mrs. Kenefick, Mr. Duckwitz and the pupils pupils taking part in these recitals are pleased with appreciative and large attendance of the audiences and invite the public to come and hear this recital which is well worth while listening to, and for which there is no charge for admission. .

This year we have the best team that Stetson has turned Out for three years and they should meet with at least 50-50 success on this trip. The men were all in their best shape when they left, and unless hard luck camps on their trail they should make a very creditable showing. Best of all the men got their shooting eyes before they left. That is what has been lacking all the year. The Hatters have a dandy defense, but have been weak on the offense. With Smith and Crombie working well the team looks like a new one. Covington has been the only consistent man on the club and has kept the Hatter end of the score higher than it would be with only ah ordinary man at center. Teare and Ossinsky have done good work at guard and it has been due to their stellar work that thre opposing scores have been as small as they have. All told we have a good club, and one that deserves the backing of every member of the student body. -O- Photographer: "Watch and you'll see a pretty little dicky bird come out."

It is a success from every point of view; the departmental editors have turned in some wonderful work. Clever artists have adorned its pages with rare cartoons. A clever cover has been designed. A successful backing by the business men of the city is asured. It no doubt is one of the best magazines of its kind in the state. This publication is a credit to the school and will advertise the qualities of this institution in more ways than one. Stetson has led the colleges in the state in journalistic work for, some time and the "Mad Hatter" is the acme of their success. O WAKE UP Pupils of Professor Duckwitz, who attended the Lhevinne-D'Alavez recital, chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. , Duckwitz, were: Kathleen Allen, jj5orothy Mosiman, Thelma Rohseholt, Ethel Fisher, Anna Williams, Anna Van Ness, Catherine Peters, Elinor Meeks, Edith Newell and Elizabeth and Louise Kenefick. Miss Ethel Williams and Miss Rosa Lee Gaut were also of the party. Professor Duckwitz plans to have as many of his students as can, hear as many of the great artists as possible this Spring. It is quite a treat ■, the musical students to be accompanied by Mr. Duckwitz, as he, himself, is an artist of great ability and very readily imparts his knowledge to his students.
