Then comes the games with the state colleges and universities. After the ten-day hop, the Hatters will come back and show the state teams what championship teanfs look like. They will be in the pink of condition and stronger by experience and better in team-work. Let's get a hold on the championship and not let it slip. What do you say? Boost the team .—that't what they need. The Hatter Freshman team has a schedule that is also a good one and should do themselves proud. Their schedule consists of 12 games in the state. The Miami Y. M. C. A. has a bunch <of the best basketball players in the South, among whom is Capt. Boney, also captain of U. of Georgia basketball team a few years ago and on the All-Southern team. Turner, another of them, is rated as the fastest forward in the state and holds the world record of shooting 11 field goals in 10 minutes of actual playing time. The team is coached by Lemon, who uses the style demonstrated by Fo- gery, coach of Yale, considered best basketball coach in America today.

C, and at a private school in Highlands, N. C. Later she obtained diplomas from the normal and domestic science departments of the Montreat Normal School.

O PICTURES FOR YOUR FRIENDS AND THE ANNUAL — ACT NOW Hatters win in a game fast and clean from Florida East Coast quintet. The Stetson Hatters romped home on the local court Thursday to the tune of 40 to 24 against the fast team from St. Augustine. The offense and defense of the Hatters was of the variety that is seldom seen except in the larger schools where basketball reigns supreme. The teamwork of the F. E. C team was a little off during the first half, but in the second half they came back with such a rush that the Hatters were taken by I surprise and were unable to score un- 1 til their oponents had rolled up nine points. The shooting of Smith and the all around floor work and accuracy in passing and shooting of Covington were features of the game. Johnston and Frances were the shining lights of the visitors. The Hatters in this game were a little off form and should have won from this team by a much larger score but due to the fact that in the second half when the visitors came back with such a rush the Hatter machine came to a standstill and allowed their opponents to' score. This will doubtless be overcome as the season progresses, for with the experienced material and excellent coaching of Allen a team will doubtless wind up the season that will rank very favorably with the wonderful team from Stetson in 1921, that cleaned up the state andnwas ra- - i t*— '-—■•«---"» the Solith". Due to* a little stubbornness and misunderstanding among the players and coaches, many of the; first string men were not allowed to play in this game. However, it is the game that we are interested in just at present, so we will proceed to speechify on that. In the second, half the Hatters slowed up and the F. E. C. team scored 19 points to the Hatters 12, while in the first half the Hatters scored 28 points to their opponent's 5. Both teams looked good as they came out on the floor and it was soon seen that a good, fast game was to be played. On the tip-off from center the honors were about even, but Covington outylayed his oponent both on the floor and in shooting, he scoring 13 points to his opponent's none. A short time after the first tip-off a foul on Rhue gave Smith the opportunity to shoot the first basket of the game. On he next play the F. E. C. team took the ball straight down the floor with beutiful teamwork for their first basket giving them a lead of 2 to 1. After this play a basket by Teare and a foul goal by Covington gave the Hatters the lead that they kept thioughout the game. Col- lee shot a beautiful basket from mid- floor and Smith followed with two and Hobson and Covington dropped in one each. Collee shot a foul, but was followed by Covington who rung up two, one of which was from near center. Smith caged three and Ossinsky did himself proud and shot one. Francis snatched one and shot one from mid-floor; he was followed by a foul from Wolf and thus ended the first half with the score 28 to five. The second half saw the ball put into play and the fast offense of the F. E. C. team was put into action; they scoring nine points before the Hatters could wake up. Francis was- responsible for most of them. Run- yon broke the jynx and scored a basket. Riette went in for Ossinsky and almost immediately scored the second basket. Meanwhile Francis for the visitors keps up the good work and builds up the score. Covington begins to warm up and tears through the defense of the visitors and cages ! three. Hobson substitutes for Runty On "'- I'Oqqina, ^KjjtmiM gets hot and taTIyTtwo. Johnson shoots a foul and Francis cages another. Covington races down the flor in his usual manner and cages a couple.

There was no place to house them in the Baptist church, for the Sunday School has outgrown the equipment and the trustees of Stetson University came to the rescue by permitting the Sunday School to use Elizabeth Hall. The Young Men's and the Young Ladies' classes meet together in the Auditorium for opening exercises ev-jnual and for the subjects who ery Sunday at 9:45 A. M.

You do not want to always be showing your friends a likeness that favored you two or three years ago and now is the appointed time for you to act. The Annual staff has been at work several weeks trying to get the finest photographer that they could find for taking the pictures of this year's Annual and they have found an unusual chance to have the pictures taken by a DeLand photographer and at a reasonable price.

The sum .of $1.50 will be charged for the setting and three cuts will be given for use in the Annual. —O- DELAND HALL NOTES DeLand Hall has decided it wants to gets its name in the paper. We haven't been asked, but anyway, its leap year and if we don't get mentioned once in a while we'll get mad, so we'll have to mention ourselves. There's seven of us, and though we seem to rate as "the babies of the campus," we think we're pretty important nights after athletic victories when our BELL is in such demand. Nuff sed. We sometimes wonder why that big blue Paige parks so often outside our door. Of course we can't imag- We miss our Cyclone. She won't be back till February, but till she re turns the old place "ain't like it used to be." Great excitement has been caused by the "wee-jee" board Fay brought back with her. "Wee-jee" says Betty will be the next one up before the student council. Betty swears Fay was pushing it. Anyway, she says "wee-jee" lies, 'cause she's going to be good after her last experience. "Wee-jee" also states that Helen is going to be called before the student council for going riding with Kern Buck. We'll have to see about this! Hollywood is muchly favored by DeLand Hall. For reason apply to f t Maggie asked quite a few questions about Fort Lauderdale from those returning from that part of the state. We wonder why? We want 1o know if there is any such game as sand-spur tennis. Betty says seem like she's heard of it. O Lord Birkehead says that if he went back to the Bar he could make 40,000 a year.
