STETSON COLLEGIATE WEEKLY For and by the StudNits of Stetson. VOLUME 31, NO. 6 J. B. STETSON UNIVERSITY, DELAND, FLORpA TUESDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1922 STETSON DEFEATS PALATKA LEGION SECOND VICTORY OF SEASON, SCORE 32-0 Stetson continued her winning by defeating Palatka Legion by the score 32 to 0 Saturday in a hot game. Palatka was outclassed by the Hatters from the first and with the exception of three very fast men, could have put up very little fight. Stetson received first kick off and ran the ball back some twenty yards. By a series of line plunges and short end runs the ball was carried up the field and in the first five minutes of play made her first touchdown. Palatka on receiving broke away for a startling end run bout were held in their own territory after the first play. The interference of Stetson again proved unbreakable. On line plunging and end runs the team worked like a charm. The line up: Stetson Palatka Riette Right end Brannon Layton left tackle King Hayes left guard .. Grey Gunby Center Kersey Tribble .... right guard .... Doubton Schubiger .... right tackle Zart Scott right end Dulmage Bowen quarter Callahan W. Gunby half R Vickery Hon ...: half back Tenney Morgan .... full back ....Anderson C. First Quarter Stetson received, returning the ball twenty yards to the fifty yard line. By a series of plunges and end runs took the ball down the field to a touchdown, Morgan kicking goal. Hon made the touch down. Palatka received and returned five yards. By a brilliant end run in which the speed of Anderson gave him prominence over the players the lost on downs and punted out. Stetson took the ball down the field and carried the ball over by end runs and plunges with the plays working nicely. Morgan failed to kick goal. Stetson 26, Palatka 0. Stetson received and the ball was held in the middle of the field till time. Second Half Palatka received and after- first downs lost the ball on downs and punted out. Stetson after much difficulty, carried the ball over the goal line for her last touch down of the game. Morgan failed to kick goal. The remainder of the quarter was spent in exchanges of punting when downs were called. Stetson's attack in the second half failed to materialize for some unknown reason, and Palatka's endurance was better than the Hatter endurance. The line became worn and frazzled and could not hold in its accustomed way. The third quarter was seemingly to the advantage of neither. The last quarter was worse and Stetson could not hold the ball. Palatka was not in much better condition and continual exchange of punts, incomplete passes and blocked line plunges; were had on both sides. Twelve minues of ineffectual work was passed and time was called. The score, Stetson 32 and Palatka 0. ) During the game the supremacy of Stetson, was easily seen, but Palatka seemed to have the better of endurance in the last half. • The two backs, Callahan and Anderson were both very fast and worked some startling plays built on speed. Stet- ball was carried for twenty yards J son>s interference on end runs could down the field toward Stetson's goal not be equalled and play after play posts. The Palatka attack failed to went successfully for eight to ten go further and Stetson took the ball yards. Morgan on line plunging is on downs.

Second Quarter The ball was lost on downs and punted out of Stetson ground where Scott recovered for Stetson and the ball was again carried over for a touch down by a pass to Scott. Morgan kicked goal. Palatka received and after making first down will. Bowen worked some of the play's to a great advantage and used his head at all times throughout the game. Stetson has a real football team. We are going to go up against Rollins on Thanksgiving Day and are going to have to work hard to beat those boys. Rollins is playing ball this year. We must have training among the men, and good training. HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL AND THE STATE CHAPIONSHIP The High Schools are growing stronger each year in their football teams. High School football is a step toward Collegiate football. This year we see some strong contenders for the championship. Duval is not so strong as last year and possibly will not figure in the final game for the championship. Duval lost eight of her first string men last year. They are at Florida, and we daily see what they are doing over there. Florida takes advantage of her opportunities. Gainesville is going good for championship this year, just having defeated Lakeland High, which is considered one of the best teams in the state this year. Sum- merlin institute is possibly the strongest team this year. Summerlin will back up against Lakeland on the eleventh of November. Hillsborough High cannot lay claim to any titular aims this year. Hillsborough at one time had one of the best teams to be found in the state. Palmetto also had a good team in 1920. Braden- town will not compete. Lake City is out of the fight by a defeat by Lakeland. Finally then it must come down to the games Gainesville and Summerlin, Summerlin and Lakeland with Duval playing a dark horse. Stetson should take interest in the fight between High Schools and watch out for good material. x GIRLS' BASKETBALL We are sorry that Miss Shirley, elected captain of this year's basketball team, is unable to continue to be an active member of the team. But doctors know what is best and Miss Shirley will not be able to play this year. She resigned her captaincy and Miss Iris Battle was elected to lead the team in her stead. We lose a good player, one of the best that ever played. But in Miss Battle we have found another good leader and feel that she will do her best just as any of the other girls would do. Due to the editor's inability to watch practice there is not much that can be put into print about the girls' practice. Carl Fariss, the coach, informs him that there are a number of excellent ball players on the court and that the prospects are better than last year, which is going some. With the loss of Miss Shirley we only have three letter girls playing this year. Battle, Douglass and Jennings. They are some players though and much can be expected of them. Many of the new girls are showing some first class basketball and with some of Farriss' coaching, will turn out to be real Eulalians. If some young lady will do so, please write up the girls' basketball team. Girls' basketball team, elect a reporter. We want the girls' practice, in the Collegiate. BASEBALL As yet, very little has been said about the baseball team Stetson has for this year. It will, according to dope being passed around, be the best team we have had in a number of years. Our pitching staff of last year is back again this season; namely, Smith and Richardson. An addition to the staff will probably be Charlie Rhodes. Two of our infield- ers, Capt. Hooper and Markovitz, are back and are "rearing to go." There is reported that there will be a number of new candidates out for the infield positions. Among these are: Sunday, Crim, Carraway, Coons brothers, and many others. The outfield of last year is back: Hon, Bowen, and Irving. For our catching department we have Fiddler, a man of reputation, and "Monkey" Moritz. This will be one hot team to represent the green and white. 1- : Force of will may help a man make headway, but stubbornness will doubtless be an impediment. After giving the library at Stetson a thorough examination, I have found that it is indeed interesting. It is very easy to locate any special work or works that we may have occasion to demand. One of the first things you notice upon entering the library is the librarian's desk. Just at the left of her desk, as you enter, is a. card index file, where is contained a catalogue of , practically , the entire works of the library. These cards are arranged in alphabetical order and are so neatly arranged that with a knowledge of their contents, it is very easy to locate any book. The information that is found on these cards, which enables you ■ to find the required book, is based on the decimal principle. This system which was designed by Dewey, librarian of Columbia University, arranges all books in ten different classes. Each of these classes are divided into ten subdivisions and each one of these subdivisions into ten other divisions. For example, all works may be classed under one of ten general heads, viz., 0 General works, 1 Philosophy, 2, Religion, 3 Socilogy, 4 Philology, 5 Natural Sciences, 6 Useful Arts, 7 Fine Arts, 8 Literature, 9 History. Now under each of these classes are made subdivisions. For example, under Literature comes: 1 American, 2 English, 3 German, 4 French, etc. Then under the head of American would come: i Poetry, 2 Drama, 3 Fiction, etc. Then, too, each one of these classes could be subdivided in other classes, designated by decimals. Now, let's suppose we are looking for some of Tennyson's poems. We would look in our index file, in alphabetical order, for Tennyson. Upon the left hand corner of the card we would find the figures 821.81. Right under these figures, the letters and figure T-25-C. The first number 8 shows that it is a book on Literature, the number 2 shows that it is English Literature, and the number 1 shows that is is Poetry. Then comes the decimal 81. This designates the period of time, which is the ivctorian Period. T-25 designates the author, Tennyson, and the letter C designates the volume. Suppose we wanted to find the book "Crusades," written by G. W. $2.00 PER YEAR Co • We would find in this same ind'X file a card with the number 2 8. The number 9 desig- History, the number 4 desig- na ;S Modern Europe; so we have irn Europe History." The decimal '4 represents the period of time—age of Chivalry. While the letter and figure C 8 represent the author. Another great advantage of our library is the bound periodicals. These periodicals cover a long period of time and a large number of magazines. If we should want some, periodical dated back in April, 1914, it would be almost impossible to search through the hundreds of magazines which would be required. However, for our convenience, indexes have been arranged by classes; so that we might find, in a very few moments, any periodical or any particular article, or the articles of any given subject, which we might need. The Reader's Guide prints monthly an index which classifies all periodicals This guide refers you to the exact volume and page where the subject is found. For_ example, if you wanted to look up some information on- the "First prints ' of the tarriff," this guide would refer you to volume 48 of the Literary Digest, pages 739-40, dated April 4, 1914. Th'e arrangement of the shelves are very simple. The left end of the library contains books numbering from 1 to 500, and the right end contain numbers from 500 to 900. The iooks are arranged on the shelves in numerical order, reading front left to right and from the top to the bottom. With a library simplified to the extent that every one can use it, every one of us should use every available moment to strengthen our knowledge, and this comes only through reading and studying. STETSON MEETS FT. LAUDERDALE AMERICAN LEGION HERE SATURDAY, NOV. 4 The first football game to be played on our own field will be called next Saturday at 3:30 P. M., when the Stetson Hatter's eleven locks horns with the Fort Lauderdale American Legion. It is not known just how much of a team the Lauderdale Legion has, but, because of the out-come last Saturday, we are sure that Stetson is to have a glorious victory again. The following Saturday will find our boys traveling over to Tavares to play the Tampa American Legion, and as a result of the Lauderdale game, they will be in good shape to take on the Tampa bunch which has made such a good football record so far. Are the students going to support this game played on our campus? Did they do 225 miles to back their team? They did. The football players need have no doubt but that they will have the backing of the entire school next Saturday. This is not a collegiate game. But it is a game that will either do honor or cast a reflection on the athletic record of Stetson this year. We must welcome the fighters from Lauderdale, but we must also send them back to the land from whence they come with the feeling that Stetson fooball players are the hardest fighters they have every gone against. They must also be impressed with the way the student body and faculty backs their team. We are depending on the alumni of Stetson who are in town to come to this game and back their team, and with the backing of all these the football players of Stetson will undoubtedly put up onle of the hardest fights of the season. Y. M. C. A. . Absent-Minded Professor Joke. No. 23,428-A Wife—Dearie, what on earth did you do with the car. Hubbie—Why, my dear, did I take the car with me this morning? I remember quite distinctly now turning to the driver of the car, on getting out, to thank him for the lift, and i found the car empty. PRESIDENT HULLEY'S TO MESSAGE STETSON STUDENTS Once more our boys have proved their prowess on the football field, and so once more our congratulations are due, and are extended with warm appreciation of their efforts. It all comes as a result of conscientious trainfng. If our team was not putting earnest effort and strong serious purpose into the practice they could not achieve the results they do. We do not expect our boys to win every time. We have no right to do that. Some day may see them on the loosing side. But if they have done their best, and given all the strong moral effort to win that they can summon, then we shall be as proud of them as we should be winning. It is the effort that counts. The players themselves ought to be told how much those at home rejoiced when the news came to De- Land that they had won by a score of 35 to 0 against the strong Legion team of Palatka. Every one felt like cheering. I learned the score at 8:15 Saturday evening, and by 9 o'clock was preparing this message to you. Those who were with me when the news came felt good through and through. We wanted to let the boys know it. It was a good victory by a decisive score, and it shows that we have fine football material here, and that they have learned the game. Let us not forget to give every man on the team his need of praise, and let us give the same to the faithful second team men who have steadily gone out to make the first team strong. A football team consists of more than eleven men. It consists of more than thirty. That many have a position on the team, and may be called on to fill in at any time. Then let us not forget the honor that is due to Coach Allen. Every one is watching him. Everyone is banking on his developing this team to match any in the state. Don't forget that you are building up a rational claim to the State Championship in football this year. You are running well under Coach Allen's daily work, and . we do not mean to let him think that we are ungrateful for what he is doing. Professor Colton should not be overlooked in the cheering. His heart is always in the game. He would do anything to help you win your letters, and your games. He knows the gridiron from one end to the other, the new and old game, and he is giving time and effort each day to make our athletics all they ought to be. And now I do not forget the rank and file of the Stetson students and faculty members who are backing tne team. The players have a loyal crowd on the side line. Every man on the team may rest assured that he is held in high honor in proportion to his effort to deserve it. The side line is discriminating. They have keen eyes, and they have them focussed on the men in the game, and they are watching them not only on the day of the contest, but also on the day of the practice. Two or three of the fellows who wear the green and white have come in for some criticism to me for not putting more strong purpose into the game, but I feel sure that this can be corrected. There are other games ahead. Stay right on the job. Do not flinch. Do not get sore. Do not allow yourselves to get the big head. Keep your feet on the ground, and play ball. It is a voluntary game with you, but if you are going to play it, do so with strong purpose, high honor and in good spirit. I gladly extend my warmest greetings to the victorious team and to the whole rejoicing student body. More power to you. And more to the sweet enjoyment of victory. The Y. M. C. A. met Thursday night in regular session. It was begun in a happy fashion by the singing of a few songs. Prayer was offered by Norman Flowers. Business was then taken up. A report by the Track Meet Committee was received, and approved. It was decided to hold the track meet the first week in February. The track meet will be limited to Y. M. C. A. members. Jack Edmunds was elected as basketball manager for the year. No better selection could have been made. A motion to give SY,letters to those men making last year's basketball team, was carried. Prof. Heffner gave a very interesting talk on the work of the Y. M. C. A. He talked of what other similar organizations are doing for their school. He expressed his approval of the way our local organi- zationzation is conducting itself in the school. He gave many suggestions as to what the Y. M. C. A. could do, that it has not done, for Stetson. Much spirit was shown throughout the meeting. And we believe that this will be the most successful year the Y. M. C. A. has ever experienced THEO. HON PRESIDENT OF SENIOR CLASS BRYANT HEADS JUNIORS, EDMUNDS, SOPHOMORES; KING, FRESHMEN. THE PRODIGAL SONS Last week, wearying of local scenery, two of the Hatter football players hit the long train which leads into God's country, southwest of here. For many hours they wandered and for many hours more until they came to the city where at one time not long ago Stetson won on a field against their opponents. Lingering here they spent some time and then some more time. By careful expenditure they managed to spend not more than double their assets. By sleeping in the streets and eating in the more or less unfrequented eating houses where beefsteak sells for twenty-two cents a square inch and water is cheap at half the price, they managed to live. But on receiving nothing in the land of the far South beneath the south star they again climbed on the high road and lit out for colder climes. Arriving in the land of their departure they were warmly welcomed and again welcomed and we are glad to see them again propping their feet under Stetson hospitable roof. Pleasants and Wainer are the heroes of the story. We need those boys here to play football and hope that they stay with us. Welcome back and stay longer this time. X LEGAL LIGHTS Miss Florence Hazard, of Tampa, who was a student for part of last year in the law department, has recently returned to resume the study of law. Who said that law students were lazy? We wish to rebutt that declaration by presenting Pen Edgar, tennis champion, and Morgan, Gordon Hays and others, who represent the law class in both the tennis and football games which were victorious for the Alma Mater on Saturday last. Since many students of the college will be or are considering matrimony and divorce, it might be helpful to have some light on the question and a bench of considerate and conscientious judges are not in session to propound any questions sent in to the Editor. "Legal Lights" may All of the college class organizations have been completed and the class activities have started. A great deal of interest is always shown in the class elections of officers. To be given an office in a class election is an honor peculiarly appreciated by college students everywhere, and Stetson University is no exception. Each class has its own particular task to perform on the campus during the school year. Even the freshman, newly arriving on the campus, fs nxpected-to flash his colors~bn the sophomore twice, in the color rush and in the banner fight. The sophomore, harboring malicious remembrance of the first year affairs, has the determination that the efforts of the freshman must be ineffectual. The juniors have the difficult, yet honorable, work of publishing the annual. The seniors, throughout the year, are the college's honorees. It is to them we look for the senior class day exercises; it is their lot to be responsible for the senior play; and it is to their officers that we must look for participation in all college activities and assemblies. The officers who have honored by the various classes are: Senior Class, '23 President, Theo Hon. Vice-President, Helen Shirley. Secretary, Frances Douglas. Treasurer, Maxine Long. Junior Class, '24 President, Kerfoot Bryant. Vice-President, Leola King. Secretary, Dot Douglass. Treasurer, H. H. Smith. Reporter, Mary Parsons. Sophomore Class, '25 President, J. Ollie Edmunds. Vice-President, Marie Anderson. Secretary, Charlie Henderson. Treasurer, Edna Mathews. Freshman Class, '26 President, Graham King. Vice-President, Billie Campbell. Secretary, Elleanor Meeks. Class Colors, Purple and Gold. While, these students have been entrusted with the work of leading their classes, a great deal depends upon the co-operation given by the entire class as to the success or failure of the class. throw some light on the subject. Ask us! The Junior Law class held a meeting Thursday, Sept. 26,, for the election of class officers the following being elected: P. F. Huntley, president; Ottis Pharr, vice-president; Emily Williams, secretary and treasurer, and Florence Hazard, class reporter. This is surely a worthy cabinet and now that the ship is launched, spread your sails, Juniors, and strike out for the high seas! With the temporary absence of Prof. Tribble, three of the Senior Lawyers have ably demonstrated their ability of professorship by teaching the junior class. These able men are Ed. Diew, P. E. Buck and R. Miller. We congratulate you.
