NUMBER 32. HOWARD UNIVERSITY DEFEATED BY STETSON Second of Series Results in Splendid Victory for Stetson. SMITH PITCHES SHUTOUT—THREE HITS THIS SPECTACULAR VICTORY BY OUR TEAM PRESAGES AN OVERTHROW OF THE FLORIDA NINE WHEN THEY PLAY HERE WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. DR. ALLEN HOSTESS TO COUNCIL MEMBERS Nine innings of the best baseball played here in years showed Stetson that she had a better ball club than Howard College, as the Hatters outplayed the Birmingham lads in every department and with the masterful pitching of Smith they won the second fray of a two-day series by the score of 1 to 0. Smith, a three-year letter man for Stetson, hurled himself into fame this afternoon by pitching a shut-out game and allowing the visitors but three hits. Smith was clearly the hero of the contest, striking out twol\e batters, fielding ten chances and winning his own game in the eighth with a clean single that drove Lainhardt home. Smith, if it will be remembered, beat Rollins and Florida last year. Today, he was arsenic, his curves were dazzling, his change of pace puzzling and his control per-, feet. Not a long hit was gleaned off of him. Every ball that the visitors hit was either a pop fly or a slow roll grounder. The game was won in the eighth On Tuesday afternoon, in spite of the downpour of rain, the old and new student council members of this year climbed into a big yellow bus accompanied by Dr. Allen, whose guests they were for the afternoon. No one knew where they were bound for, but with eyes on the inviting-looking baskets and boxes, and With spirit high, they were ready to go anywhere. Their destination proved to be the John B. Stetson estate. The afternoon was enjoyably spent on the grounds the orange grove proving to be a spot of interest. At five-thirty a long table was spread on the <side porch of the Talton home, where everyone enjoyed to the fuller t the delicious lunch provided by Dr. Allen. All lingered at the table, until the cars appeared to return them safely to Chaudoin. \ Each and everyone had greatly enjoyed the afternoon and voted Dr. Allen a splendid hostess.

It is an established custom at Stetson for each Senior class to give a play. The play this year promises to be an exceptionally fascinating and entertaining one. The Senior class is working hard to make this the best Senior play that has ever been given at Stetson, and from the progress that is "being made it bids fair to line up to the class expectations. It will be one of the crowning events of college life. This year the Seniors desire to give a play that will pertain to college life and yet be interesting and entertaining to every one—to those when Lainhardt singled, stole second] of ball during the entire game.

ART DEPARTMENT OF STETSON IN EXHIBITION—RECEPTION The Art School will give a reception for the faculty, the students of the University, and the people of DeLand, On Friday afternoon and evening, May 2d. There vrfill Jbe an exhibition of work of the students in various departments. The year has been a highly satisfactory one. Much has been accomplished. The reception will give an opportunity for all to see the varied, interesting and beautiful work of this department. The class in applied design, under Mrs. Fluhart,. has worked out many (interesting problems on pottery, glass, wood and tin. The Orlando Pottery is capable of charming decoration, and articles from large lamp bases to candlesticks and salts and peppers have been decorated.

The Hatters started the fun in the second when Tatum drove Henderson home with a sizzling two-bagger to left. Harrison, the hard-hitting hurler, drove a long grounder that hugged the third sack, netting two bases and scoring Tatum. Howard came back in its half of the third. Hyde led off with a clean double and scored when Culp forgot to field Stubbs' grounder. The latter crossed the pan on Shelton's slow roller. Howard again tallied in the sixth. Shelton walked and came in on Brindel's two-bagger. Tatum, in right, made a heroic attempt to field this ball, going after it with his bare hand, he hit the fence and lost the agate in the attempt. Brindell scored on Dawson's single. The Birmingham crew again scored in the eighth. Hatters Come Back in the Ninth. The ninth inning almost proved fatal for Howard, and for a time it looked as if the Green and White were going to keep the coveted honor in DeLand. Tatum walked, Harrison singled, advancing Tatum, and they both scored on Culp's one base drive. This was Culp's first hit of the fray. Whitnel walked. But he and Culp died on the bases when Tatum fouled out to first.' Howard- ib. r. h.

After a very careful selection the committee found just what they were looking for in "The Charm School." Now since the play has been selected, much is being sacrificed and nothing overlooked to make it a brilliant success. "The Charm School" is a dramatization qi the familiar book, "The Dues Miller." "The Charm School" was first produced at the Bijou Theatre, New York. Two companies are now playing it in England. The story of "The Charm School" is familiar to any of Mrs. Miller's readers. It relates the adventures of a handsome young automobile salesman scarcely out of his 'teens. A maiden aunt of this young salesman died, leaving to him by inheritance a girls' boarding school. All of his friends insisted that he sell the school, but of no avail. He insisted upon running it himself and according to his own ideas. He believed that the young people were being educated all wrong, and in this play you will see that he did all in his power to change the ideas of education. He believed that the dominant feature in the education of the young girls should be charm. Think of it. A young man scarcely twenty-one, having complete con- STETSON AND FLORIDA NINES CLASH TWICE *- * IMPORTANT NOTICE. All those students who will wish to receive at the end of the present college year, a full transcript showing their entire scholastic record at Stetson must present their names now to Miss Bowen. If this matter is delayed until after Commencement it cannot be given the same prompt attention during the summer. Act at once, please, and hand your name to Miss Bowen, if you expect • to really need such a transcript at any time before the opening of the new college year in September, 1924. G.

It is unfortunate that no schedule has yet been arranged, but the men are at it as hard as if they were " preparing for the Olympic games. We have some of the best track Return Games Will Result With Far Different Scores. BIGGEST CROWD IN HISTORY OF SCHOOL A DECISIVE DEFEAT IN BOTH GAMES OVER THE STATE UNIVERSITY WILL GIVE STETSON THE BASEBALL HONORS OF THE YEAR. Keen interest is manifested in the two big games of the season, May 5th and 6th with the University of Florida. The returns of these two frays will be anxiously looked for all over the State, in that the leading college team of the State will be the winners of this series. Florida and Stetson met in a double bill at Gainesville about three weeks ago. Stetson dropped both games. Since then Stetson has improved a hundred per cent under the skillful tutalage of Coach Whitnel, and an entirely different team than the one which lost to the Gators. Florida played Howard College two games 'and lost both of them. Didn't even score on the Howard lads. Stetson played the same team and beat them. Facts stand out that Stetson is a better team than the Orange and Blue ball tossers, even though they lost to the latter in the early pait of the season, and May 5th and 6th they will prove it. Students, lets wake up and realize men in the South, and some that are trol of a girls' boarding school.

TRIP TO UMATILLA BY ORCHESTRA FOR AID FUND SUCCESS Musical and Financial Results Are Highly Pleasing. Twenty-two members of Stetson's Orchestra, accompanied by two soloists, and their accompanists, journeyed to Umatilla, and with a fine rendition of a high class program were able to make above their expenses about $50 for the Student Aid Fund. Dr. Thiot, chairman of this fund, was a member of the party, and it was* due to his untiring' efforts to make arrangements that the trip was made possible and the financial side so great a success. The generosity of the townspeople of both, DeLand in helping with means of transportation and of Umatilla, in affording entertainment during the short stay of the musicians, won the deep appreciation of the orchestra members. Mr. Watts, Mr. Covey, the Ford Garage, Dr. Thiot, Mr. Pixley and Mr. Steve Marvin in offering their cars for the trip deserve our thanks. The applause given each number marked the concert and its reception. The appearance of the orchestra, upon the raising of the curtain brought forth peal after peal of delighted ovation. The soloists, especially, Miss Miriam Munn and Miss Persis Burns, were met with strong and determined applause, their encores receiving as great enthusiasm. "Poet and Peasant" Overture, a favorite with all audiences, opened the program, and being rendered in a superior style, placed the crowd (Continued on page 3) FRESHSOPHOMORE PAY STAGED FOR FRIDAYOF WEEK President Ed. Henderson of Freshmen Very Expectant. Clear the way for a holiday next Friday. Dr. Hulley has graciously granted a holiday on that day, and it is to- be known as Freshman-Sophomore Day. It is an annual holiday, and it is on that day of days that the two under-classes vie for honors. In years gone by it has been the custom to have a flag rush, but due to so many injuries incurred by that form of sport it was voted to change it to a regular field day, and let each event count for so many points. Following is the list of events, and the points that the winners of each receive: Points. Events. 5 Boys' three-legged race. 5 Wheel barrow race. 5-2 High jump. 5 Relay race. 5 Fight on human horses. 10-Basket ball game. 10 Baseball game, afternoon. GIRLS. 5 Potato race. 5 Tug of war. 10 Basket ball game. It is hoped to have all of the events but the boys' baseball game run off by noon, and then the afternoon will be devoted to as hotly a contested ball game as will be seen for many a moon on this campus. It is going t0 be a gala day, and all of the students are expected to turn out, as there will be no admission charged, and lots of fun for every body will be furnished.

We've got one of the best ler. Coach Cope, down here with the Howard baseball team said that the boy had the best stride of any man he had seen in the South, with the exception of Charlie Hammond, the great Sewanee tach athlete. Another man is Covington, of foot ball fame and * basket ball greatness. Covy is a good dash man, but is best in the distance runs, and the weight throws. He is a letter man from the Citadel, where he ran for two years before coming to Stetson to take up law. Probably one of the best distance men and relay runners in the East is Tom McGiffin, another one of our law students. He is a letter man from the University of Georgia, and he made his first letter there in his Freshman year. He is a distance man that is hard to beat, as many of the best in this part of the country will testify. Another man, though not on the field as regular as the others, is Riette. This lad lacks coaching, but is one of the fastest natural runners that the writer has ever seen. He runs with an ease and sureness that puts him down as a great runner. All of his motion is for gainmg ground—there is none of it lost nor wasted. With material like this already on hand, and lots of it laying dormant around the campus, it seems that we should have a good schedule, and it certainly would put us on the map.

It proved to be the largest body of fraternity women ever assembled. Over twelve hundred Pi Phis were present in the White House when Miss Onken,. our grand president, presented to the White House as a gift fiom the fraternity the portrait of Mrs. Grace Goodhen Coolidge. Mrs. Coolidge was a charter member of Vermont Beta in her college days and since then has always been a loyal worker for Pi Phi. It was a great pleasure for the fra- temiay to show their love for her in that fitting way. The portrait, which has caused much interest in artistic circles, was painted by Mr. Howard Chandler Christy, "the White House Painter." Columbia Alpha and the Washington Alumni Club were royal hostesses t0 their visiting sisters. The de- (Continued on page 4.)
