TETS0N COLLEGIATE WEEKLY Official Student Publication of John B. Stetson University VOLUME 32 DELAND, FLORIDA, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 5, 1923. NUMBER 13. \ STETSON FOOTBALL TEAM SECOND BEST IN STATE etson 15—Rollins 7 COOLIDGE AS A FRAT MAN % The last five presidents of the United States have been college fra ternity men. Two were inducted into fraternal life while students at their chosen institutions; the other three, educated at universities where chapters of National fraternities did not exist, found time later, in the midst of busy careers which reached a elimax in the office of the Chief Magistrate of the country, to become honorary members of five fraternifies. In the persons of. President and Mrs. Calvin Coolidge, however, the first Greek-letter world possess for the first time occupants for a fraternity and sorority "White House." The quiet, unassuming Vermont farmer youth, who entered Amherst in 1891, intent upon his studies and caring little for extra-curricular activities, failed to attract the attention of the fraternities at the Massachusetts college until 'he was junior. Then he accepted one of the first bids —after his new proverbial calm consideration, from the ne*wly-founded chapter of Phi Gamma Delta. Both in and out of college, he has rendered ■valuable service to his fraternity. Grace Anna Goodhue Coolidge is the first mistress of the White House' who was a sorority woman' in college. A charter member of Pi Beta Phi at j the University of Vermont. Mrs. Coolidge has shown consistent interest in her sorority since her graduation. i In 1910, she helped organize the Western Massachusetts Alumnae FOOTBALL CELEBRATION . AT THE DREKA THEATRE Through the co-operation of the Dreka ^heatre management with the COLLEGIATE, it was possible to car- iy a little enthusiasm to the town people, after the football victory on _ hanksgiving. The theatre was packed, which means the Collegiate enjoyed a little prosperity, plus advertising. The University has its loyal supporters in town as well as in the'^ollege. The paper appreciates the patronage of the students and faculty, and invites everyone to watch for the next Collegiate undertaking. The program for the theatre was outlined previous to the game, and in the advertising it suggested that short speeches would be in order.»-Be- cause of the length of the program, and to give seats to those who were standing, it- seemed advisable at the time to place everything before the audience through the medium of slides. The College orchestra played the college football songs, numbers of the audience sang them, and the slides created considerable enthusiasm. In view of the fact that' the same picture program showed the day before for fifty cents, and this admission price remained the same on Thanksgiving except to the University people, who were only charged 35 cents, the Collegiate believes everyone was agreeably entertained, O • BON FIRE CELEBRATION THANKSGIVING SUPPER TR IN CHAUDOIN I^DJELTA Thanksgiving was Founder's Day After the football victory' Thurs-:f0r the Tri Delta, so they had a dou- day afternoon, when Stetson Hatters |ble celebration.

Scores of alum- I ni were seen, as well as approximately a hundred town people. It was a great time for all. O One other president joined the National fraternity while in college. Woodrow Wilson was inducted into the membership of the Phi Kappa Psi at the University of Virginia, where 'he took a post-graduate course in law in 1881, after leaving Princeton. Neither at Harvard nor at Yale have fraternities been allowed by the authorities to take the places of eating cubs and honorary organizations of the liberal arts colleges of the two universities. Theodore Roosevelt, graduated from Harvard in 1880, belonged to the popular clubs and societies of his day. Later, in the midst of his strenuous life, he became a member of both Delta Kappa Epsi- on and Alpha^ Delta Phi. William Howard Taft, new Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, accepted honoiary membership in Psi Upsilon and Acaia after leaving Yale in 1878. Warren G.* Harding went "to a little college now defunct, Ohio Central College, where there were no fraternities. He was a great believer 4n fraternal fellowship, however, and ater in his life joined many •organizations, among them Acaia. O NEXT ISSUE WILL BE A FOOTBALL SPECIAL DEDICATION OF THE COLLEGIATE The presidents of the different college fraternities are again invited to assist in the selections of the alumni to whom the paper should be dedicated. Every fraternity on the campus, as well as the non-frats, and the office, will have a voice in these dedication selections. This will be a permanent feature with the Collegiate this year, and. should be continued in the years to come.

The pass was perfect and the hands of the re-; ceiver was sure. Whitnell failed to drop kick goal. Early in the second quarter the Hatter defense was surprised by a terrific rush by the Tar backfield^ Not expecting such an outburst of football talent, the Hatter line broke and allowed two lengthy runs through their defense, one for 35 yards and another for 20. These quarter back calls a signal and one of the halves tells him not to call that play because it wouldn't work. Then the center passes the ball to the other half and he starts around end. Rollins was off side and the 15 yards made on this play went for naught. This game concluded the football year. The year has been a good one. We didn't win from Florida, but we avenged last year's defeat from the Rollins Tars. We have had a real j football team and we are proud of Next year—well, wait and our men. see. -O- * It is necessary to postpone the athletic issue of the Collegiate, which will deal primarily with football, until the next edition. There are several reasons for this, but the main one is the time required to have a cut made from the football team's picture. The Collegiate is proud of the team, of the coaches, and the manager, as well as all of the assistants. The paper welcomes j the opportunity of hfiing able to place the picture of the team on its front page. The Baptist convention convenes in DeLand some time soon. It is fitting and appropriate that considerable mention of this fact, as well as the program of the convention, be hi the next edition of the Collegiate. Therefore, the Collegiate expects to edit the best paper of the vear next week. In order to produce reasonably good prints of the team, as well as impress the Baptist delegates with our paper, a better grade of paper will be used for the special edition. Mr. Stanley Culp, our able and reliable Sports Editor, will be permitted to go the limit. You know Stanley; he has written up every game of the year. He is a hard worker and faithful? ;watch for the dope he collects on the team and the games for the next Football Special issue. The dedication of the next issue of the Collegiate will be very properly plated. Spec grants us his consent to dedicate the paper to him, but declares he hasn't a picture of any kind. Our plans were to have a cut on the front page of everyone to whom the paper is dedicated. There are lots of kodaks and little cameras in the world. Also, there is a little Spec who may know where the family's picture album is. Anyhow, we are going to get a snapshot or picture of Spec in some way, and have a cut made. Somebody "shoot" him and hurry your picture along to us; we promise you he will not give you over 30 days. O- OMITTED NEWS In last week's edition it was necessary to omit some of the college news because of space. There are ways to avoid this: Get your copy in on time, type-write it if possible, or wrrite legibly, see that it is correct and with the proper heading. If need be, the paper will be enlarged; however, this should not become necessary. In the Pi Kappa Phi notes last week, through some unaccountable error, three or four lines were omitted. It is understood that Charlie Henderson was Very muchly present at the infoifnal dinner, in speech- making as well as in appetite. . This paper acknowledges the corerction, as well as expresing regret that Chaudoin Chips and part of the Rat Trap were omitted. These have proven interesting, and the editor believes that all reporters will forgive and be patient with him. ter line tightened on the five yard' ine and held the Tars for three downs. The Tars had only one down to five yards. Thomas called Em-J ery into the backfield and sent him around end for their only touchdown. Class kicked goal with drop- kick.

Rollins gained four yards over right tackle. A second play gained them two yards on a cross buck. Rollins kicked out 30 yards, Whitnell returning %2. Covington play covered himself with} broke through right tackle for two the dining-room, he was given a great ovation, and a welcome such as Stetson students know how to give to one they like. Spec called us pals, and in return we want to call him a pal. He praised the team and warmly expressed his appreciation of the cooopera- tion of Dr. Hulley. There is only*one Spec Campbell, as well as little Spec, of whom we are all proud. The University is fortunate in having such a good friend. The entire supper was an enjoyable occasion. College spirit and good feedings prevailed. The .orchestra played its part in pepping up the happenings, and so did the impromptu singers of the "Stand up" squad. Come again Thanksgivings and bring with you next year as much to be thankful for as this year. « O EXCHANGE When Yale freshmen carried banners proclaiming "To Hell with Harvard,". Yale juniors protested, declaring that 'to allow this movement to gain headway will be a blot on the self-respect of Yale men." Sp— -* MR. B. F. BRASS THIS PAPER IS DEDICATED TO MR. BASIL FRANKLIN BRASS & -4, Mr. Brass received his A- B. degree from Stetson University in 1914. An 1915 he also received his law degree from Stetson. In the fall of 1915 he was a member of the law faculty. January 1916 he began the practice of law In partnership with S. Bryan Jennings and ex-Governor Jennings (deceased) in Jacksonville and Was successful from the start. "B. Franklin" as he was known on the campus, was a member of the Phi Kappa Delta Fraternity. During his many years at Stetson he wsa associated with nearly every phase of college activities. He is a loyal Stetson supporter and booster, responsive and cooperative. Mr. Brass is now a member of the successful law firm of Gardiner & Brass, Daytona, Florida. glory by booting the pik skin for one of the, prettiest kicks from placement ever seen around these paits. The ball was on the 32-yard linej but it was at such an angle that the goal posts, in reality, were orfly a few feet apart. "Covy" took his time and told Teare, who was holding it, to do the same. The stands went wild at this, but "Covey" walked off just as if it were a common ordinary thing in his young life. The, second half opened with a crash and a bang and before many minutes had passed the Hatters had another touchdown to their credit. Covington bucked the ball over 'in four downs from the 12-yard line. Covington's try for point was blocked and the score stood 15-7. Whitnell at the quarter-back position handled his teammates to perfection. It seemed that he knew just exacty what play to call-at each down. "Whit" was the cause of Rollins' 7 score instead of a 13 score when he stopped Class after his run through the rest of the Hatter defense for 35 yards. Whit hit him a hard one and Class stopped. He didn't feel ilke going any further. Covington bucked the Tar line and gained from 3 to 12 yards at a time. We just simply can't get over his placement kick, tho. Courtney showed his speed at all timeV: Our prediction is that he will be one of the foremost football men in the state in a year or two. Boyle and Hargreaves played stellar games at the wing positions. Boyle was forced to retire during the second quarter, but not before he had scored a touchdown. Gunby at center (both Kirk and Bill), played a beautiful game. Not once was a bad pass made from center. Ossinsky and Doty at tackles yards. Covington made a beautiful run for a gain of five yards over the same hole. He was again called to carry and went through for first down, gaining four yards. Courtney lost two yards on a left end run. Teare gained one yard over left tackle. An attempted pass was grounded. Whitnell kicked Out 45 yards, Rollins returning five yards.

Courtney five yards around right end in a. very pretty run. Courtney lost one yard over right tackle. Whitnell gained one yard around left end. A pass was grounded. Rollins made the ball on downs.
