Crawford. The Stetson grid machine, in the first home game buried Piedmont in a sea of mud and incidentaly accounted for the small sum of 43 points to the opponents none in the romp last ' Saturday on Cummings Field- The first quarter was a very ragged exhibition of football on the,part of the Georgia boys, and for a while it looked as though the Green and White squad was to roll up a score that would be way up in the fifties or •more. At thatj time Mac rushed several subs into the line up and the game waffa little more even for^a short time. The third quarter was the only time that Piedmont threatened at all and then the threat was not one that deserved a score. In this period the Green and Gold squad opened up with'a passing attache against a team that was nearly all second string plyers. At this time Piedmont made six first down by j ~y the air.route and Mac rebuilt his team by reluming the original L,, the jffl-Sddy c-h<|f, and me game wU> oii'ic&. ■■ ~ x * *- - It was hard to say just what man on our squad was in the largest way responsible for the victory as far as actual scoring; for they all ripped the opposition up and tucked the oval under their arms for some great runs. Don't forget our stellar linesman Cupid Pope. The Piedmont team was weak on line,bucks and did not seem to be able to cope with us; it was not a matter of weight as their backs on the average were heavier than ours. The only department that they were well devoted in was the passing game as they completed 6 out of 13 while Stetson boys made 5 out of 8 attempts. » Phi Kappa Deltas are proud of their presentlhome, but they are not satisfied-, and in the next eighteen mouths expect to erect a new home on the site of the building shown al hich is expected to be one of the prettiest fraternity houses in the south.

Cattaneoes was the place selected by the rat committee to throw the affair and a wise selection it proved to be as the banquet was, from start to finish, uninterrupted, except for a short period just before the desert was served. The plans for this event were all made several weeks in advance and every detail was cerfully executed by the powers that were in charge even down to (the .Y entertatiner thaq, tine brothers and rats appreciated.

BETA phi The Collegiate is preparing a direc- ] tory of all the officers of all the clubs fraternities, sororities, and classes in the school. Every organization is requested to turn a list of the officers into the News Editor of the Collegiate by Thursday of this week. • Persons responsible for fraternity and sorority notes have been handing in notes in good shape lately. The News Editor would like the reporters of the organizations to put the name of the organization and the reporter's name on each week's notes. This facilitates having the notes correct. If events happen early in the week, The Collegiate urges the reporters to turn the accounts of the events into the office as soon as possible, this makes the preparation of material for the paper much easier. It is the plan of the Collegiate to have every organization on the campus represented by some piece of news each week. To do it we must solicit the support of the officers of each organization to see that the news is in the Collegiate office not later than 9 a. m. Saturday before pub- lcation. Typewritten notes are preferred but if this method is not available, script is perfectly all right. Cooperate with the News Editor of the Collegiate in making the paper representative of the entire campus. j;|* rO Mjss Grace Haldeman entertained a number of her friends in her room in Chaudoin hall Saturday night in honor of her sister, Miss Ruth Haldeman of Lakeland.

Many familiar faces of the years gone by were seen on the dance floor and in the reception line. The football players were forced to abstain from dancing so they did /their best during the reception, but when the orchestra played one of the popular numbers a longing look crept nto their faces. Mr. and Mrs. Walters, Kirk Gunby, and Charles Covington composed the reception committee and, by the way, received well over 100 guests during the evening. When the reception ended, at 10 Lally, who gave quite a lengthy speech on Stetson and Sigma Nu. In this talk Mr. Lally gave all*of the old men and the rats something to think about, and coupled with this a very clear outlook on the future.
