STETSON COLLEGIATE Student Publication of John B. Stetson University, DeLand, Florida Volume 34, Number 4 THE STETSON COLLEGIATE, SATURDAY, OCT. 10, 1925 Single Copy, 5 Cents STETSON ELEVEN TACKLES NORMAN INSTITUTE GAME SCHEDULED TO BE PLAYED AT CUMMINGS FIELD AT 4 O'CLOCK By HARRIS SIMS, Stetson Publicist Stetson's Hatter aggregation of gridsters will be seen in their second game of the season on Cumming's Field today when they meet, the Norman Institute Eleven of Norman Park, Ga. Nothing whatever is known as to the strength of the Georgia outfit, consequently Coach McQuillan is taking no chances on the affair, but went forward this week with a heavy training program to follow out. The opposition scheduled to fade the Hatters today hail from a comparatively small institution and may launch a lumbering attack against the Green and White gridsters, however if such a hypothetical lumbering attack does become a reality it is certain that the Hatter outfit will be present at the scene of battle with just a bit more lumbering than will be relished by the Georgia aggregation. The easily won victory of last Saturday over the Palmer College lads has given rise to no let up in the Hatter camp. Practice becomes more strenuous, Coach McQuillan is introducing a larger supply of instructions which he has stored away for the Green and White outfit, and the Hatter machine begins to take on more definite form. It is difficult to determine just what line-up Coach Mc-. cjuillan will choose to use against the Norman Eleven next Saturday, for he spends an equal amount of time and pains with each o fthe three squads on the field every afternoon. Though the Varsity regulars have been picked to the full satisfaction of a large number of fans and regular spectators of the daily practices, yet it is possible that a number of them as yet, more or less obscure men will develop into something interesting and worthy of more than passing notice, and who will thereby win a place on the regular machine. A number of the men who started the game against Palmer last Saturday can be safely classed with the regulars as far as playing ability is concerned, and it is probable that anumber of them will be doing half or full time duty with the Varsity before the season is over. As a whole the new material is showing rapid and encouraging development. Some good finds have been made among the Freshmen. That means additional-material of the most dependable sort has been found for the Varsity of next season. A new candidate appeared for practice yesterday. He is Edmond J. Busiers of Taunton, Mass. He attended Brewster Academy in New Hampshire, has never had any experience on the college gridiron, but looks like he's a pretty apt pupil, and capable of delivering the goods. He weighs 160 pounds and is out for the tackle position. Yesterday witnessed one of the hardest and most intensive practice periods which Coach has thus far administered to his Hatter outfit. New plays were introduced yesterday and still more today. More will be given all along, as the season progresses. Coach McQuillan is well pleased with the progress made by his gridsters, thus far. It is a commendable fact that out of the forty-five men who, began the season, thirty-five are still sticking by the colors, and reporting regularly. WE NOMINATE FOR THE HALL OF FAME The man who does not want to equip his Ford with a cut-out, Packard-size horn, and pass every, thing on the road. The girl who can walk by a mirror without looking in it. The fellow who can ring his girl's doorbell without first adjusting his tie. The man who can watch a football game without directing the ;;ume from the sidelines. The Senior in college who forgives a stranger for asking if she is a Freshman. The newcomer to Florida who does not rave about the way things are done at home. The pedestrian who admits that the driver was not to blame. The traffic cop that does not want to make an impression upon you and an example of you. The musician that does not want to be temperamental. The co-ed that is satisfied with dormitory rules. —M. Foster. FOOTBALL PARADE Evidencing the spirit which prevailed at Cummings Field, Friday afternoon, the student body assembled in front of Elizabeth Hall at 3:15 for the first football parade of the year. DeLand Band and the official cheer leader and his assistants led the parade, with the sponsors riding in state in automobiles decorated in Garnet and Gray the Palmer colors, and Green and White, the Stetson colors. The freshmen classes followed the cheer leader through the center of the business district, up the boulevard to Cummings Field, around the field to the reserved section, where pandemonium broke loose (with the aid of Cheerio Stone) with the freshmen cheering like old veterans.

Mr. Duckwitz introduced to the aspirants for places in the club, Miss Hibbard, who is to direct both clubs this year. Miss Hibbard organized the clubs in a most efficient way. Many voices were tried out and an amazing amount of good material was found. A sophomore who wasn't in the club last year gave a fine exhibition of her voice. The Men's Glee Club started the year off very well. Most of the officers are back. The officers who were elected last spring term before school closed still hold their offices at the beginning of the fall term so as to form a nucleus for the new year. The people who did not have the opportunity to try out Monday tried out Thursday. Next Monday the list of accepted voices will be posted on the bulletin board in Elizabeth Hall With such a wonderful turnout, the Glee Clubs should accomplish much this year. MANY STETSON STUDENTS IN MUSICAL ORGANIZATION The young people of the First Methodist Episcopal Sunday school have organized an orchestra that will be used in the many and varied services of the church during the coming season. They played in the Epworth League last Sunday evening for the first time, and judging from their performance at that time, they will be of great benefit to all the societies of the church. The personnel of the orchestra is as follows: Violinists are Misses Elizabeth Brown, Vera Snyder, Evelyn Dun- das, Jessie Telford and Mr. Harold Wilson. Clarinets—Messrs. Pope and Wilson. Saxaphone and leader—Mr. Edward Trea. Trombone—Mr. George Ackroyd. Mandolins—Misses Irene Scher- merhoru, Dorothy Moore and Irma Richardson. Trap drums—Mr. Maurice Foster. Piano—Miss Virginia Prather. The young people invite all other players to join them if they are not otherwise obligated. The orchestra will furnish music at this service, which is designated as "Sunday School Prayer Service" and is a part of the Itally Week program now being conducted by the school. IF YOU CAN'T FIGHT, YELL FOR STETSON As you pass into Elizabeth Hall Take notice, please kind student You will take notice a little sign, And read it every line. It says, "Fight for Stetson," If you can't flight "Yell," And if you can't do either You are better out of sight. We don't need any knockers, We need you all to boost, YELL when in the grandstand— You're not up there to roost. Give a good word for old Stetson, For Coach and players, too. Fight for Stetson, Yell for Stetson, She'll do the same for you. —By Hansen. MARSHALL EXPRESSES / HIS FAITH IN AMERICA Extracts From the Late Vice President's Farwell Address to the Senate The forms under which the principles of the Republic are administered may need changes to meet changing conditions but the underlying idea does not, for truth is unchanging and eternal. A Government didicated to the inalienable rights of man to life, to liberty and to the pursuit of happiness can find its perfect accomplishment only in representatives brave and strong enough to rise above the ambitions, passions and prejudices of individuals and groups. I freely grant the right of this people to change our form of government and to adopt basic principles, but if it is to be done, let it be done decently and directly so that all of us may know it. While the older order endures, let representatives represent the old ideals; It it be understood that they are not mere bellboys, subject to calls for legislative cracked ice every time the victims of a debauch of greed, gambling or improvidence feel the fever of frenzied need. The clothes may mark but can not make the gentleman. The economic rehabilitation of America is of vast moment, but the rehabilitation of the ancient faith which upheld the ragged Continentals, emerged in pristine glory from the throes of the Civil War, and hurled its smiling and undaunted face against the grim engines of ty ranny upon the fields of France, is a far greater work. I leave with the same inarticulate cry in my soul with which I came to you: My country * * * To me it is but the composite voice of all the good and wise and self- scrificing souls who tried to tread its soil, calling for that liberty which is law-encrowned, preaching that doctrine which seeks not its own but the common good. It is no new religion we need. Our creed should be: One Lord, one faith, one baptism—the Lord of Justice, who was with Washington at Valley Forge, Grant and Lee at Appomattox, Pershing on the fields of France; the faith that under a republican form of government alone democracy permanently can endure; the baptism of the spirit which will not be content until no man is above the penalties and no man beyond the protection of our laws. CHRISTIAN FORUM MEETS EVERY MONDAY, 7:00 P. M. A very interesting meeting of the Christian Forum was held Monday night, as have been all the meetings of this organization since the initial meeting of the year. The meeting was opened with a live song service under the leadership of" Mr. Charles Henderson. The scripture was read and commented on by Mr. Garwood, whose interpretations of the Bible are always so interesting. The main speaker of the evening was Mrs. Peelman, who is the head of the Baptist women's work in Florida. She brought to our attention and observation the work of some of our own Stetson men and women who have surrendered their lives to Christian service, some rendering service here at home and some in the foreign field- After listening to her inter' accounts it seemed to us that we had had personal visits from our brother workers and had heard from them of their experiences. Stetson has every reason to be very proud of those noble men and women who have gone forth from here preaching the Christian gospel throughout the world. Interesting programs are being rendered each Monday evening under the leadership of Mr. Beal, who is our program chairman, and we invite all students interested in Christian work, regardless of denomination, to meet with us and enjoy these splendid programs. Every Monday at 7 o'clock. STONE ELECTED CHEER LEADER Chan Johnson and Evelyn Hodges Are Assistants Last Wednesday at 12:45 in the Chapel the student body gathered to elect the cheer leader and his assistants. Prof. Tribble was the chairman and conducted the election according to parliamentary rules. Two last year's men were present, "Cheerio" Ed Stone and Chan Johnson who received some active conipetion. Some politicians in the rear of the room were electioneering for their candidate, who was "Red" Meyers, a first year man and who has had some experience. The Sigma Nu's candidate was "Cy" Harrison, a winner in a contest conducted by the Daily News last year. (Unfortunately the upper classwomen did not have time to organize.) Myers and Harrison were checked out, and the race was on between Chan and Cheerio. Cheerio won by a small margin. The woman assistant to the cheer leader was the next in the nomination. Dee Keene, a second year student was nominated and Prof. Tribble asked each candidate to rise. The different group started working and the race was on. Martha Pratt was the next nominee ; then Evelyn Hodges, a first year girl. Dee Keene and Evelyn Hodges received a majority which checked out Martha Pratt. Hodges won by a small difference in her favor. The man assistant to the cheer leader brought up three former candidates for cheer leader—Chan Johnson, Cy Harrison and Red Myers again in the ring, with Chan Leading and winning with a majority of the vote. Cheerio gave a short speech and announced that there would be cheer practice the next day at noon, while holding his candidate for assistant, the old back fence cat. who could not stay away from a gathering of any kind. 90 MIAMI BOYS ENTER FLORIDA UNIVERSITY Forty Freshmen in Contingent; Many Receive Bids to College Fraternities Fifty upper classmen and forty freshmen make up the Miami contingent at the University of Florida this year.

TIAN JOHNSON ON PSYCHOLOGY OF CHEERING Notice at the game the other day folks chanting "Hold 'em, team"? That expression is absolutely the wrong thing to yell. It gives the team the impression that the rooters are afraid that they will not be ablo to -hold .the other team. The object of. cheering-is- to- spur the team on instead Of being fearful that they will-not bold the line. . .. .._.,..• : . . "Throw 'em:back!" would be.the logical yell to influence the team at that critical point of the game. Let's yell "Throw 'em back!" at the next game.
