NUMBER 9 This was done because of several issues already out. Rollins' price for her paper is $3 a year. We are beating her price—we are going to beat her paper—and, WE WILL BEAT. HER FOOTBALL TEAM. Now, everybody cannot subscribe to the paper and pay cash. We want a new, *>» «* » subscriber whether you can direct way of advertising the Colle- pay cash or not. We fellows, puttting COLLEGIATE CAMPAIGN FOR SUBSCRIBERS ON giate was put across. Dr. Hulley cooperated nicely, and royally did his part in giving the subscription ^campaign a big jump forward. Every student and every member of the faculty had a letter thumb tacked to him or her, underneath the seat. Dr. Hulley had been in on the idea from ,the start and because of his patience, in waiting day to day for- everything to get in readiness, and because of his original and forceful way of carrying out the program, the letters left the proper inspiration. The thumb-tacked letters were addressed to each individually and so far as is known at the present writ ing, everyone got his own letter. There has been some speculation as to the amount of time, and the amount of work it required to address the letters, and get them under the right seats. The surprise of the Whole yiing, the cooperation received from the platform and the way the students accepted this manner of attracting their attention to their college paper, amply repaid the ones originating the idea and putting it across. The results of Friday netted a total of nearly two hundred new subscribers. The goal of the subscription campaign is to see that everyone in the University gets a copy of the Collegiate every week. Everyone in the University should be a subscrib- -vMr-make—aB—%$4 oxt~±o^ Crei granted to the ones that need it, and for the few that have held back, an invitation is offered again to give your name as a subscriber and make arrangements to pay later on in any way to suit your convenience.

MACHINE TURNS ON SOUTHERN AND WINS BY SCORE 27-7 In what many spectators declared was the most thrilling and best played football game they had ever witnessed, the Stetson Hatters turned on Southern college from Lakeland here Saturday and piled up a formidable score aaginst the Methodists. After the game many spectators declared that it is was the best game they had ever seen and when they said that they were not wrong. When football games get any better than the one Saturday they are going to be the best games going. Things did not look particularly bright for the Hatter machine in the first few minutes of play, -but after to cry to stop the Hatter advance, but the green and white could not be stopped. Whitnell kicked goal for the one point and the score read, Stetson 7; Southern 7. Stetson again kicked off to Southern and Southern then started the only real drive which they were able to uncork in the entire game. The Southern gridders started a march down the field making the necessary ten yards by inches on the fourth down every time and it looked like the Hatters' machine could not stop them. The Hatters braced however, and the half ended %ittt the ball in Southern's po- session on the thirty-yard line. This they settled' down and got started, i was the only real threat which the THE COLLEGIATE MANAGEMENT. FRATERNITIES ALL FOR COLLEGIATE The following fraternities have evidenced their faith in the college paper, and proven their readiness to back any worthy enterprise that will work towards a bigger and better Stetson University: JPi Beta Phi fraternity. . ^ Alpha Xi Delta Fraternity. Delta Delta Delta Fraternity. Pi Kappa Phi fraternity. Sigma Nu Fraternity. Phi Kappa Delta Fraternity. These fraternities are to be commended on their quick cooperative spirit in supporting their paper immediately ; the students putting out the paper will be encouraged in continuing, their already successful campaign. Next week it is hoped that every fraternity in school can be announced as one hundred per cent subscribers. This should not be difficult for a majority of the members belonging to college fraternities belong to some of the other fraternities. In instances as Theta Alphi Phi this may be true already; this fraternity is in all likli- hood a 100 per cent subscriber. A check-up will be made on the faculty this week to see that the faculty fall in line 100 per cent. This is pflaticcally so already, as every member of the faculty is a subscriber, has voiced a willingness to be one, or will when properly approached. The Collegiate is endeavoring to establish a co-operative spirit—everyone pulling together. The fraternities and faculty can do much through their support in firmly establishing the Col- the Southern team was unable to stop the march down the fiefild. Stetson kicked off to Southern and on the first play Southern was thrown jfor a one yard loss. Southern was held for downs and kicked to Stetson in midfield. On four downs the Hatters failed to make the required yardage by about three inches. Sou- then was unable to gain and kicked on the third down. Stetson's ball on their twenty-five yard line. Stetson fumbled and the Southern crew recovered and ran for a touchdown. Gillespie carrying the ball over for Lakeland. Try for goal was successful and score was, Southern, 7; Stetson 0. This did not dishearten the Hatters, however, and they only fought harder. Stetson again kicked off to Southern. After a few plays deep Stetson's territorj^MButhern Xuinbieu ami Duiy,-cavXi ters snatched the ball ty yards to the fifteen yard line before being downed. This was one the prettiest runs seen- on the field i1 years and was made behind a perfect screen of interference. It was a pretty bit of work and one that is not often equaled on a Football field, especially by a lineman. The quarter ended with the ball in the Hatters' possession. With fifteen yards to go for a touchdown the Hatters carried the ball to the one-yard line for the first down. With four downs to carry it over in Covington hit the Southern line and was thrown without an inch to gain. On the next play, however, Covington carried it over the Southern line for a touch- and ran seven- Methodists carried to the Hatter goal line during the game outside of the fumble which allowed Southern to score. The Stetson team came back on the field for the second half with a renewed spirit. After some argument as to who would kick off Southern kicked to Stetson and Courtney for the Hatters returned the kick-off forty yards through the entire Southern squad to midfield. This was another spectacular piece of work and the little back came close to going through the entire team for a touchdown. With this good start the Hatters started a drive which could not be denied. With Covington, Whitnell and Teare carryin gthe ball the Hatters gaining from five to eight yards at a time, carried the ball to the ten yard, line. Stetson wr.s ^penalized took the ball around Southern left end for seventeen yards. The Southern squad was penalized for roughness to the one-yard line. On a straight buck through center, Whitnell carried it over for a touchdown. Whitnell missed try for goal. Score, Stetson 13; Southern 7. The Southern machine was licked when this touchdown was made. The Hatters started another drive for the goal line and carried the ball to the ten-yard line and were penalized for holding. Teare carried the ball thru tackle for ffiteen yards. The quarter ended here. Score at end of third quarter, Stetson 13; Southern 7. The Methodists got the ball a few minutes after the fourth quarter and started a drive down.

With every student and every member of the faculty subscribing to the paper, there are plans under way that will increase the circulation, of some issues, to over 2,000 copies. We can make it the best college paper in Florida, and possibly we can make it the biggest. The subscription for the rest of the .year has been lowered to $1.50. Everybody push right now. Everybody give a boost. Save up your criticisms for a couple of weeks. As long as you remain a student in Stetson University be a booster. Don't hold the paper back; with a 100 per cent circulation in the University, the paper will be a big success. We wont' jhave to solicit for advertisers; they will come to us. A strong paper, the best paper in the state, the biggest paper in the state, is under way to serve the students of Stetson University. The Collegiate is not so strong- yet, it is not the best paper in the state nor is it the biggest. The individual you person in the University can make or break its program. The goal is 100 per centsubscribers. With this quickly attained, the rest will follow. Do your bit, it is the biggest thing you will do for the school this year; the paper will do the rest for you. The Collegiate's mission is a bigger and better University. ■! Collegiate Slogan for Next Game Everyone in the University wants Stetson to beat Florida next Saturday. We may and may not. Florida has a strong team, and with a student body around two thousand as well as being the state university, she should have a strong team. When Florida is playing out of the state, playing some other team,' we should pull for her to win. If nothing else but for loyalty to our great state, we should do this. With Florida playing Stetson it is a horse of another color. Stetson must win if possible, if we cannot do this, Stetson must hold Florida to a tie or low score. Florida has a reputation of a strong team. Stetson can do herself proud by holding Florida to a low score. Hold Florida, Hold Florida, Hold Florida, is what we want to hear. Rollins went to Gainesville all expectant to win. Florida made a walk away game the first quarter. Florida thereafter put in big numbers of her second string men. Rollins must have returned home with considerable spirit knocked out of her. We don't want that re-action here. Stetson must fight, and everyone must pull for Stetson to Hold Florida. Florida fought to hold the Army, and held the Army for the first half. Even though the Army won 20-0, much to do was made of it on Florida's part. Stetson may not be able to entirely hold Florida, but at the same time Florida may not be able to entirely hold Stetson. Our boys got away last Saturday for a bad start. There is always a chance when Stetson has the ball. Hold Florida, Hold Florida, everybody, and then, when Stetson gets the ball, cut loose. Hold the score down. Play by play, quarter by quarter. When Florida has the ball, keep that Hold Florida, Hold Florida, going across the field. The alumni, the DeLand supporters will catch it and take it up. The players will get it, too. And when Stetson has the ball, carry the team on to a touchdown. Everybody Hold Florida. now. On a run around right end, Cal. Stewart, Lakeland star, was injured and had'to be taken out. Immediately after this the Methodist opened with passes and gained a lit tie ground. They completed the first pass for a fifteen yard gain. Failed on the second pass. Failed on a third and completed a fourth for another good gain. Again they tried a pass and that is where they came to grief. Covington intercepted the pass and raced through the entire Southern team for a touchdown. A forty-fve yard run. Covington kicking in place of Whitnell made a perfect kick and the score was, Stetson, 20; Southern 7. With only three or four minutes left to play, Southern again opened with a passing attack. As in the first instance the first two or three passes were good for short gains. At last Teare for the Hatters intercepted another Southern toss and carried the ball to the fifteen yard line. A bit of rough work by Southern after Teare was down again cost the Southerners a penalty and the ball was on the one yard line. The Hatters carried it over for a touchdown. Whitnell again kicking for the Hatters kicked a perfect goal and the score was 27-7. The game ended soon with the ball in Southern's possession on their own twenty-yard line. ' Thus ended one of the hardest fought games ever played on the Hatter gridiron. • The Line-up STETSON R. E.—Boyle. R. T.—Doty. R. G. Miller. C—B. Gunby. L. G.—Tatum. L. T.—Layton. L. E.—Hargreaves.

O COLLEGIATE TO BE • DEDICATED TO THE SUCCESSFUL ALUMNI Commencing with the Rollins-Stet- on Football game issue, the Collegiate will dedicate the paper each week to a successful Alumnus. There are many men and women, graduates of Stetson, who have become successful in different walks of life. A carefully selected list will be chosen, and from this list about twenty-five alumni will be passed on as outstanding successful Stetson graduates. The Collegiate next week will contain more about this. The cooperation of the office and the fraternities is requested in advising with the selections. O '— CHEERING IN STETSON THETA ALPHA PHI On Nov. 23rd in the University auditorium the Dramatic fraternity will present the first play of the season. Practice began last week, and already the cast gives promise of one of the best fall plays ever given at Stetson. The play which has been selected is "Adam and Eva". A play which,has proven to be unusually popular with the theatre going public, playing before capacity houses on all occasions. Mr. Stover and the Dramatic fraternity deserve a great deal of credit for bringing this play to the University. In the cast will be found many of the stars of the Dramatic Festival production of last year. The Edmunds boys who will appear in leading roles need no introduction to the theatre going public, as their work during the last two years has called forth much favorable comment. Miss Isabelle Tate, who will appear in the play in the leading feminine role, it will be remembered, starred last year not only in the dramatic festival productions, but also in the annual Shakespearean play. There is also an abundance of promising material among the new students, from which the other parts in the play are being cast. The setings are very elaborate, and new scenery which will go far towards making this one of the most attractive plays, from the standpoint of unusual and elaborate settings, Friday, at 12:45 in the Auditorium, Professor Colton spoke to the students assembled for cheer practice. Professor Colton made an impressive talk, the result of which could be seen in some of the cheering on the field Saturday. In the course of his remarks, Professor Colton poiated out the way Yale or some of the other big colleges made their cheers effective. He stressed the use of sending a name continually rolling across the field, and cited as an illustration a happening he knew that occurred. By the constant cheer of a runner's name reaching the runner, defeat was turned into victory. The more Professor talked the ^Ulr-jj-i iay-'J.:.'n students along with him. He Knows the value of good cheering, how it should be carried on, and it is hoped he will be on hand to warm the students in their cheering practice this week. No one person can do it all, nor do all of it right. The faculty, and upper classmen should step forward this week and assist in every way in the cheer practices. The bigger the gatherings the more- encouraged are the cheer leaders, and the more ready is every one to take a part. A little cheering, a little enthusiasm, are good tonics for anyone. The best way to have a good time is to have it with somebody else. These cheer practices are the times and places to rub elbows in a good natured way. This opportunity will soon be over. Everyone get the spirit, Hold Florida. In conclusion of his talk and enthusiasm, Professor Colton called attention to a good old Stetson yell that goes as follows: J. S. U. Rah Rah Rah J. S..U. Rah Rah Rah Hoorah, Hoorah, Hoorah Ray, Stetson, Stetson, Varsity! And along with Professor Colton's suggestion, other suggestions have come in that would be well to follow. One main one is to get yells suitable, to the fellows. Give the boys something they can yell. And where arc the men? Come on out fellows, and get in the cheer practices; it's part Of your college life. Short cheers continually rolling across the vield art helpful. "Roll, Roll, Roll the Ball," continualy repeated is a ?o d one, or, "Hold, Hold, Hold the line ' i< good when contin- ally repeated. has already been ordered. The University auditorium with its well appointed stage and comfortable seating arrangement should be able to accommodate all those who will wish to avail themselves of the rare opportunity of seeing this play presented in DeLand.
