STETSON UNIVERSITY, DELAND, FLORIDA TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1922 $2.00 PER YEAR STETSON DEFEATED BY TAMPA LEGION IN A BITTERLY CONTESTED GAME HARD LUCK VISITS CAMP OF HATTERS Stetson lost her fourth game of the season last Saturday to the Tampa Legion in Tavares. The game was hard fought and bitterly lost to the Legionaires who possessed themselves of the advantage given them by a fumble on Stetson's ten yard line by Stetson. While Stetson clearly outplayed the Legion they were beaten by luck throughout the game. With a crippled team and three regular men out of the line up, playing practically the same team that Rollins played, Stetson lost; while with the regular lineup and no hard luck would have defeated the Legion. The game was very fast from the initial kick off and the vim of the Hatters lasted through the game while the Legion wore itself out in the first "half. Stetson had every man outclassed and were out weighted by ten pounds to the man. The loss of the game comes as a blow to the xecord which Stetson has made this year, but in no way will it hinder the Hatters in the championship race. The line up was: Stetson Tampa Legion.

Legion 16, Stetson 0. Frequent fumbling lost the game for Stetson while poor work on the part of one or two line men helped the cause along. ■ Tampa had a heavier line and backfield than Stetson but had the Hatter line been working as well as usual the game would have been different. It tis conceded that Stetson had the better of the fight even by the Tampa players. Stetson made twelve first downs to Tampa's four. In the last quarter Stetson made six first downs ■iJ-fcot^soia ,.Tiof?a jmOre gains, substantial gains by earned football than Tampa lucked. With three men out of the line up, Stetson was very hard pressed and nervousness and uncertainty with non self possession were the main factors in the loss of the game. We believe that we can beat Tampa and are willing to play them again to prove it. The Rollins Jinx of which we hear so much must have been on Stetson Armistice Day. All teams however, have one bad game in a season. For proof look at any of the teams that have played this year and see if they have not had one game which was lost when they should have won. It is in the system of any ball player to lose one game in a season and Stetson is not going to lose another this season. Stetson has a football team which should make any college proud. The students are behind the game too. No proof needed but what has already been shown. Stetson will win and win again during the rest of the season. X RAT WEDDING True to the traditions that we are always trying to uphold, there must be a rat wedding between halves at the football game Saturday. Of course it is generally the custom to stage this mock-wedding at the first football game of the season; however, due to the fact that the first game was not a collegiate game this was postponed for the present game. Now, rats, it's your move. This has always been a high and august mock-wedding, one that is remembered by all who take part and by all it entertains. There must be a parade just preceeding the game in which all rats must take part and be dressed in some costume, and this costume will be worn in the wedding march on the football field. A meeting will be called some day before the game and parts will be assigned for this work. Those »of you who are not honored with some principal part in the wedding must get you some original costume and wear this in both parades. Rats out! We crave entertainment. : X It has also been our observation that a little loving now and then is relished by the best of men. 1 Old winter makes quite a few detours, but he finally lands at the place he started for. ************** * * * CONTRIBUTIONS * * * * Note The editors take no re- * * sponsibility for articles appear- * * ing in this column.

The "knocker" has been much knocked but continues to "kno k." This parasite seems immune to any of the things that affect human beings, and in the warm rays of our Southland sun the insect multiplies exceedingly. From a historic point of view it is admitedly difficult to declare with finality just who was the founder of knocking. Some say Satan, giving his fall from Heaven as the story of the origin of the race. The adc-her- ents to this opin'on go further and declare that in form, feature, and function, many points of likeness exist between the knocker and the Devil. Even the opponents of this theory admit the force of the argument but still stoutly maintain that the Devil is not the cause of all the trouble. A supposition that has ■gained some evidence among the heathen is that the first knocker saw the light when Pandora opened the evil box entrusted to her by great Jupiter. Still others claim that they have traced the lineage back to Arachne, mother of the spider race. So, while the characteristics and habits of the animal are fairly well known, yet in the matter of decent it is manifestly unfair to either Archne, Jupiter, or the Devil, to render a decision upon the incomplete evidence at hand. ('rnS^-§£QPe of our treatise, there- e^imination into the life, habits^and haunts of this imp, spider, or insect —'whichever he may be. Alas, I know not. In form, it has some of the bodily appearance of man. I say this advisedly, for it is never mistaken for such. Surgical operations upon the anatomy of the insect have brought many things to light. The doctors first looked into the head, but found nothing there. They next examined the liver, it was white; then they looked upon the heart which was greatly dwindled and deformed; it was yellow. The examiners considered this investigation sufficient and made their report, from which I have taken the liberty to produce these facts. Furthermore, the animal in question has great utterance and powers of speech. The condition found in people, feeble-witted or intoxicated, called the loosening of the mind and tongue is its natural and proud possession. Its powers of smell, seeing and hearing are developed to a prodigious degree, admittedly above and beyond that of a human being. It can see, smell and imagine, that which mortal never did. Moreover, out of its nostrils there issue sounds. In fact, these sounds are the animal's chief claim to distinction. His brains and powers of smell would never get him anywhere if it were not for the sounds that issue out of its head. Did I say "head"? Yes, advisedly. You remember that the examiners, when they looked into the animal's head, found nothing. Well, the animal takes advantage of the large hollow itPhis head and uses it for a sounding board to produce great swelling sounds. There is strange, demon-like power infthe sounds of the beast. The ones prey upon the minds and hearts of the weak, the credulous, or the prejudiced and beget a slurring, thundering hymn of hate, or unrest, or treason. The study of the life and habits of this animal, I understand, has affected the native .region of India. As you know, the Brahamans there believe that the soul of a man or animal when it dies passes to the next higher or lover order, according to the life it has led. The swine are the lowest in the order. However, they now believe that when a bad hog dies, its soul passes on to that of a new found animal, called the knocker or fault-finder. AN OPEN DOOR IN CHINA What a Christian Means to the Chinese People EDITOR'S NOTE—It is interesting to keep in mind while reading this article, taht its author is a native Chinese on our campus. His viewpoint is unusually interesting. The laws of a nation can only condemn and punish the criminal acts of her people but can not cleanse their hearts of criminal thoughts. Religion can, however, do it. That is the reason why a nation can not progress without religion, nor rise without it. Religion, originating in God, has been inspired into good men and developed according to human nature, for all men desire happiness and hate distress. These common feelings furnish the gateway where religion enters into anrl controls men. Once a Spaniard askfed Queen Victoria of England why she ruled_her country so successfully.'* " rrv;--< answered him thijj 1 otehelper. Could •' ) ^~ y^aj"0 rrnlv a J, iw hundred leaves do such a remarkable thing? No, Sot the book itself but what it contained—its religious significance. The rise or fall ofjj? nation depends largely upon the qualities of its people, whether good or bad. And it is impossible for a country to fall if the qualities of its people are good. There are a number of religions in China. But fortunately, she has not up to the present time adopted any national religion, and this fact has not only prevented troubles between the different religions but has also given the Chinese people religious freedom. Although it was once said that there were five main religions in China, yet, since many people have agreed that Confucius was more a philosopher than religious leader, I think, there are only four at the present time. And although I have not very thoroughly studied the objects of these religions, except that of Christianity, yet I think that the other three religions have done nothing worth mentioning in China. Even if you asked some of their members you would not receive a more satisfactory answer than what their religion holds out a selfish motive. Now I simply want to discuss Christianity, and also tell you what it means to the Chinese people. First—the Christian—A. Schools. The old Chinese, that is the Man- churean, dynasty's method of teaching and learning was, perhaps, good enough a few hundred years ago, but it spoils the mental power of the pupils and is inappropriate in the modern time. As soon as the mis- SOUTHERN COMING SATURDAY. LARGE EXPECTED. OLD-FASHIONED RAT PARADE JUST BEFORE THE GAME The Highlanders from Southern College at Lakeland, say that they are going to return our visit of a few weeks ago, next Saturday. Of course we want to treat them nice until we get on the field, then we treat them as rough as we can. Before this game Saturday, there will be an old-fashioned rat parade. This being our first Collegiate game on the campus, the rats are expected to furnish the entertainment for the visitors as usual, between the halves. Stetson defeated Southern 53-0. Southern managed to get two touchdowns on Rollins Saturday. This would indicate that either Rollins has weakened or Southern has picked up. Whatever it means, this next game will be a good opportunity for us to pile up another good score. The supporters of the blue and white will probably not be in as large numbers as Stetson's supporters were, dut to the fact that the school has been so unfortunate in its revival. Of course, no Stetson rooter would do so anyway, but a caution certainly will not be misinterpreted. The Highlanders will be our visitors and we must remember that they are representatives of our Methodist rival down the state, and nothing should be done that would reflect on our good name. Our football record thus far has been very admirable. The Hatters have not been defeated yet. They were scored on last Saturday, but in that game the best team lost. This will be a splendid opportunity for all Stetson men and women to show their loyal spirit. **************************************** * * "RESULTS OR ROSES" The man who wants a garden fair, Or small or very big, With flowers growing here and there, Must bend his back and dig! The things are mighty few on earth That wishes can attain. Whate'er we want of any worth We've got to work to gain. It matters not what goal you seek, Its secret here reposes: You've got to dig from week to week To get results or roses! —EDGAR GUEST. fe************************************** sionaries found that this was true, they established schools, using new methods in teaching the Chinese, gave them modern ideals, encouraged them to practice public speaking and to be more sociable; and stimulated them also to love their own country. There are many institutions that have been established by the Christians in China, some of the most noted ones are the Christian Universities and Canton Christian College or Ling Nom in Chinese. This College, which I myself have seen, is considered the best in Southern China. It has produced a great number of learned men and faithful Christians. Now coming to my native town Sun Ning, we find there three Christian public schools, one of them called The Congregational . School, the names of the other two t i.^v., j?—^.^^ai-Lfc. TVipv ±fiach '•children not ;only intellectuality but i^lso spirituality. B.—Hospitals Some of the large cities had hospitals before the Christians entered the country, but the hospitals were not well appointed. Later on the missionaries taught us how to construct appropriate hospitals, and not only that, but also contributed large sums of money to help in the construction and operation thereof. I know that Mr. John D. Rockefeller contributed large sums of money to help us in establishing hospitals in Peking and in other large cities. Besides Mr. Rockefeller there are many other Christians who have done the same thing. These hospitals have been instrumental in helping thousands of poor people who have diseases. Second—The Work of the Missionaries That Can Not Be Seen But is Still Worthier and Nobler There is one thing still better, profounder and worthier than schools and hospitals and that is, that the missionaries taught us how to come in touch with Christ. There were thousands upon thousands of sinful people w^o now gave themselves up to God, and finally became good citizens in China. Summing up all the endeavors, whereof I have just been telling you, it shows how the missionaries have helped our people to study, to teach, to speak, to associate with one another, to increase their knowledge, to take care of their bodies, and to become honorable and faithful Christians. The missionaries are indeed as kind to us as our parents. We certainly welcome them in China. Someone may think that the reason why I talk so is that I am writing for Christians, and he may also ask me this question: "You say that the missionaries are welcome in China, why did you then have the revolt of Boxers some years ago?" Now let me tell you how many people we have in China. We have about 400 million. Then there were only a few thousand Boxers. Now, could they properly be called representatives of all the Chinese people? They represent no more the general attitude of the Chinese people towards the missionaries than do a few scores of Canadian immigration commissioners, who used to abuse the Chinese people, represent the attitude of Englishmen toward the Chinese. Suppose we leave this little argument for a while, and I will discuss the revolt of the Boxers with you. What the Boxers did was, of course, a great mistake, but they had some sad reasons for their doings. Before the revolt of the Boxers there were many wars between some of the overbearing foreign countries and China. The results of these wars were that England took Hongkong, and later entered Peking and burnt the largest castle there; Japan took Toy Whon and Corea; France took French Indo China; one after the other. China, besides losing land and people, was also compelled to pay large indemnities to the foreign countries. Now, then, who does not love his father and mother? Those who became Boxers were largely the ones whose fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters had been killed by the foreign soldiers. Therefore they wantgd revenge. Again, the Chinese "laborers in America ■ worked id?" smaller wages than the white people and the Canadian government excluded them. Then, was it not natural for the Boxers to rise against the foreigners who had been abusing their countrymen, killing their parents, and taking away their land? It is not true that the Chinese Christians have any idea of revenge in their mind, but it was true of the Boxers, for they were not Christians. The revolt of the Boxers did not, therefore, mean that the Chinese refused to accept the missionaries in China. We do not consider the Boxers patriotic, because patriots never commit such uncivilized acts to friendly countries. In discussing the question of the Boxers, I did not mean to say that China was right and the other countries were wrong, but simply wanted to tell you the truth that you may not misunderstand what the Chinese really were and are. Now, as our country is republican, the Chinese government, as well as the Chinese people, are working very hard toward attaining a Western civilization, but we are still in the period of youth. I hope that our friends will lend us aid and send more missionaries to China, and help us to solve the difficult problems of our country having the end in view that China and other countries may become more friendly day by day. And I hope that the world hereafter may succeed in preserving peace, and in upholding justice and humaneness, so that some of the overbearing countries may not be allowed to oppress China as grieviously as before. This will not only help China in developing her resources but also help the missionaries a great deal in their work. At the beginning of this article I have shown the great importance of religion to a country, therefore we must be careful in choosing the right kind of religion. Since the object of Christianity is so good and its consequences so great and noble, Christianity is surely the right religion, which China ought to accept. Therefore I sincerely hope that the Christian forces, whether native or foreign, may work patiently in helping the Chinese people to the end that victory may be won by the Christians. CHIK WAI LEUNG.
