LINCOLN HULLEY OUTLINES HISTORY OF THE UN1VERS1-, TY FROM EARLIEST DATES TO PRESENT. The celebration of Founder's day at Stetson University was a great sue- ees?. The faculty ard the senior classes n£ the College of liberal Arts and the College of Law all were in cap and gown and presented a bea a- tiful appearance as they took tbeir seals in the central tier of ihe auditorium. • President Hulley, accompanied by Dr. Farriss and by the speaker of the day, Dr. Emory W. Hunt, president of Eucknell University, panic to the platform together. The united glee clubs occupied the entire floor space of the platform and they with the grand piano and the big organ gave the people some fine music. Mrs. Kenefick deserves special credit for the way in which she ■sang her part of the Inflamatus. The people were thrilled by tho music. President Hulley introduced Dr. F"ari*iss, who read the Scriptures and (Continued on page 4.) "XSTlTCI-liniG JHLOUR" .

COVEY, ACE OF GAME GUARDING OF TRIBBLE AND MARSHALL FEATURE OF THE GAME; CROMBIE AND EDGAR JONES DRAW ATTENTION BY BRILLIANT PLAYING. Before a crowd of approximately six hundred people Pug Allen's fighting Hatters defeated the fast University of Florida five Wednesday night by the score of 25 to 21. The game was fast and close throughout and fea.. tured by phenomenal exhibition of floorwork displayed by both teams.. Stetson's failure to register all her shots cost her the honor of a bigger victory; time after time would the ball roll around the loop, only to fall out. The stubborn'guarding of Tribble was the brilliant light of the contest. (Continued on page 4.) ".

STETSON FAILURE TO nHAWl' LOSES BASEBALL GAME -o- HATTERINES WIN BOTH GAMES ON TRIP DOWN COAST Stetson Girls Win Two Hard Fought Games. The Stetson girls flashed the best "basketball of the season to capture both games on the Eeast Coast the past week-end. The girls were scheduled to play Fort Pierce Thursday night, but the Ft. Pierce girls cancelled at the last minute- After a long hard ride Friday the girls got into Lemon City for the game Friday night. The game was scheduled to start at .'-even-thirty and the girl? did not get in until seven- twenty-five. In the first quarter of the game the Stetson girls had no trouble-whatever. At the end of the first eight minutes of play Stetson had scored sixteen points to the East Coast lassies none. Here the trip began to tell on the girls. They had almost no sleep on Thursday night, and a long ride Friday. As a result they began to weaken. In the remaining 24 minutes of play they were only able to score 20 points. If the Hatterines had been rested they would Mve easily scored 60. points. The (Continued on page 3) 0 Exams next week; don't weaken, fair ones; they will soon be a thing of the past. Smith Pitches Air Tight Ball Until Worn Out in the Ninth. Last Friday aftei-noon the baseball team journeyed over to Ormond to give battle to the Ormond Hotel team in the first game of the present season: The boys lost to an eight to three count, but they played the best brand of ball except for the eighth inning,, when Ormond made seven runs. . The team left Elizabeth Hall, and travelled thirty miles in the face of a cold north wind, were nearly frozen to death before they arrived to change to their baseball togs, which they did in cold rooms. It was a pretty cold trip and the boys couldn't get thawed out. The game started off with a bang, Stetson making two runs in the first inning, and Ormond coming back for one in the second. The score stayed two and one in Stetson's favor until the eighth inning, when the hotel boys got next to Smith and ran up a five-run lead. Stetson came back for one more in the ninth, but that was the end of their rally to try to tie the score. It was our first game and Coach Allen had the task of trying to put a well balanced team in the field, without knowing very much about his men. Then too, it was too much to expect Smith to pitch nine innings and be effective. However, he was the only man that was available and had to go the route. He had the Ormond men eating out of his hand up till the eigthth, but that was as far as he could go. Smith pitched wonderful ball, and itr is no discredit to him that he lost—rather is it glory to him that he stayed with it and pitched air tight ball as long as he did. Manager Sledge Tatum was the all around hero of the day. He field- well, and led the club in hitting. Whitnell had the time of his life kidding the girls from the dining hall along, and in return got kidded a little. We play Ormond over here this Friday, and it is hoped that the student body will back the baseball team as they have backed football and bas- PHI KAPPA DELTA FRATERNITY ENJOY \« ANNUAL BANQUET DR. DUKE OF TAMPA, DELIVERS ANNUAL ADDRESS ON BUILD> ING BRIDGES, DECLARED B/Y ALL AS THE FINEST EVER HEARD. IEW IDEA ADVANCED ERFQUMFN TFAM J^LADYERTISING OF l^IVCOniUCn lLftlH ~bTCTSON'S ANNUA! Friday, Feb. 22, the Phi Kappa Delta Fraternity held its 26th annual banquet, at the beautiful Ponce de Leon Springs. The young ladies in their gorgeous gowns and the young gentlemen in their evening clothes made a pleasant sight to behold. The dining room and tabbies were elegantly ^decorated, the huge fireplace greeted the guests^with a warm welcome. The selected orchestra gave forth strains as the banquet proceded. The banquet was opened by a blessing from Charles Tribble, chaplain of the fraternity. The banquet then proceded and the first course was served. Then tissue paper caps and streamers were handed out and the banquet was in full swing. Laughter reigned and supreme and everyone forgot their cares and lessons. After the courses had been served, and chairs pushed .back, the first speaker of the evening was introduced by the toastmaster, Mr. Ollie Edmunds, president of the Fraternity. Mr. Edmunds took care of the toast- master position in fine style. Malcolm Stone had the honor to be the first speaker of the evening. He gave a short, but pleasing speech on "A Freshman's View Point." Next our honorable toastmaster called on Toney Bates. Toney represented the seniors. Toney presented us with a fine talk on "A Bigger and Better Stetson." Carl Farris was called on to represent the alumni. Carl gave a very pleasing talk on "The Difficulty of the School Authorities." He was called on to make a speech on "Coaching Girls' Basketball," but Carl wandered off his subject at times. Dr. C. W. Duke of Tampa, was the guest of honor and next speaker of the evening. His speach was on "Building Bridges." The speech was very interesting, it taught a great moral namely, to always be reaching out for better things. Dr. Duke said that he had chosen ^E ANNUAL STAFF PLEAD FOR PICTURES OF STUDENTS AND FACULTY, WITHOUT WHIHCH THE ANNUAL WILL BE A FAILURE. The journalistic field has received another progressive impetus. The business manager, Mr. Charles Hen-' derson, of the Annual staff, has laid in a complete advertising set of unique publicity matter. Every week, several cuts will be inserted in this paper, and on the campus and bulletin board, literature and placards will be seen, pointing out that the Annual is on the way. It is understood that this advertising set was obtained at considerable expense, which further indicates the progressive spirit now evident on the campus. The Annual is making itself known; the staff is hard at work and before long the book will be a reality. The slogan for a Bigger and Better Stetson has weaved the spirit into the Annual for a Bigger and Better Annual. Contracts have been signed, one of which calls for a limited number of Annuals. Do not be disappointed if you are unable to get one at the last minute. The advertising for the Annual will keep you posted on the progress of the work being done on the Annual, and remind you that the book is in the making. Then, 'again, Stetson students, bring in your pictures or the annual will be a failure.

It was fine descriptive speech and very instructive. Dr. Lincoln Hulley was the last speaker of the evening. His speech was short, but to the point. He thanked the students for the way they had backed him, and hoped that next year would be a red letter year in the annals of Stetson University. The toastmaster then brought the banquet to a close. Slowly the assembly crowd s tmereaudoCoT saxea sembly streamed out, and the cars were on their way toward home. The guests were high in praise of the affair.

In a game that resembled indoor football rather than basketball, the Freshmen trimmed the DeLand Purple and White machine by the close but decisive score pf 26 to 23. C. Carpenter, with his shooting, was the backbone of the team. This lad dropping in sixteen of the Wildcats' points. Seemingly the High School lads' scientific attack failed them, and they resorted to a defensive game, the latter got weak in the second half and the Green and White Rats ploughed through to victory. The combination passing of Mullens, Blakely and Brakmann was the feature of the game. Time after time, the center-forward plays welnt through. The DeLand lads" were unable to solve any of the tactics taught the Rats by Ossinsky. It was a game of brains against brawn—and brains won out. The Freshmen are playing a wonderful brand of basketball at present, having strengthened their offense and perfected a five-man defense that is well night impregnible. With Cox and Carpenter at guards and the two Forwards coming down—they form a blockade that few teams can pass. Cox was somewhat off form last night. He evidently Jhad lost his shooting eye. Cox in the past three games has led his mates in the scoring. This snappy little guard is a phenominal shot under the basket and has featured many games with his scoring.

However, the girls will have Friday night, and if they will visit the carnival lot they will not be alone, as all of DeLand turns out to help make the event a success for the boys that made the country "safe for the Democrats." You girls warn your shieks that if they had better save up the sheckles they want to make a hit with you and take you to the Legion carnival. You will always be glad you went, and tho it may strike him a little hard he will be glad, too. You will have the time of your ife.

Last Thursday night the Athena- Theatre was packed with an enthusiastic crowd for the presentation, by Stetson's musical clubs of the Opera, "AH at Sea." The Glee Clubs and orchestra did themselves proud and those in charge have reason to feel pleased over the outcome of the performance. Francis Carrie McMahon is to be commended highly for his fine work in so speedily training the actors in/ their lines and parts, much of the success of the play being due to his efforts. The members of the cast and Mrs. Kenefick, who had supervision of the performance, both training the voices and conducting tbe songs, (Continued on page 3) O It puzzles us why Dr. Hulley should have both a Big Ben and a Little Ben. Perhaps that's why he always gets to chapel on time. We wonder if Big Ben and Little Ben keep time* together. We suppose Little Bert takes time from Big Ben.
