GAINESVILLE TEAM TAKES THE STATE HI CHAMPIONSHIP Record Crowd Attended Girls' Basketball Tournament. CONSOLATION GAMES LAKE CITY TAKES THE CONSOLATION HONORS BY DEFEATING LAKE WORTH AND PA- LATKA. NUMBER 27. St. Petersburg- won the opening g-ame of the annual high school g-irls' basketball tournament Thursday by defeating Palatka 25 to 22. The game was hotly contested throughout and the winners could not be picked until the final whistle blew. Palatka played a sterling brand of basketball and deserves much credit even though they were on the short end of the tally sheet. Gainesville vs. Umatilla. Umatilla, thought to be one of the strongest teams in the tournament, went down in defeat before the jnighty Purple and White hurricane. Completely outplaying and outclassing the Lake county team in every department of the game, they held them down to nine points while registering 32. It was clearly Gainesville's game from the first whistle. Joe Barchau's aggregation proved themselves to be one of the strongest contenders for the banners in the semi-finals. Orlando vs. Lake Worth With two forwards running wild -and no opposition from Lake Worth, Orlando took the third game of the |£gl .J\enT%ylf T ^as"iiy*^mning j tsy the lop-sided-& Tre of 44 ko 9. Orlando was just too good for Lake Worth, and the latter never had a show. Orlando's two forwards worked together to perfection. They shot from all sections of the court and (Continued on page 6) 0 ORGAN RECITAL CHAUDOIN HALL—HOME OF STETSON'S GIRLS PAPER SCHEDULE LAID DOWN WILL HELP THE STAFF Time Table for Reporters and Others to Be Observed.

(By Henry Brakmann) Freshman baseball opened up at Stetson University with a loud bang yesterday afternoon. More interest is manifested in this sport, the national pastime of the nation, than has been shown thus far in any branch of athletics. Stetson shows much promise of developing a baseball club of its Freshman material that will be a world beater in anything of its class in the state. Twenty-seven eager aspirants reported for practice yesterday afternoon. And every man of the 27 C Continued on page 6) Will the person who borrowed ten dollars worth of music belonging to tbe "Collegians" Orchestra please return it Immediately as we need it? This music was taken from tbe piano bench (Phi Kap House..) "THE COLLEGIANS." Due to various causes, said naturally to be beyond the reach of those in charge, the Collegiate has beep losing itsTfine-'re^utation for punctuality, by being- offered to the reade)?s-j a day or so late. [That this sad state of affairs may never occur again and blot out that self same fair reputation a schedule or time table has been adopted By the editor-in-chief. It goes without saying of course that this schedule will remedy all evils, and eliminate the possibility of the Collegiate coming out late. Nuff sed! The Collegiate will be on the stands Wednesday at eight o'clock ready for every one who prefers to get their copy in this way. Tuesday afternoon at five the circulation department, in charge of Billy Parsons, will have the mailing lists entirely finished and the Collegiate speeding on its way to foreign parts. Printed early Tuesday morning, by being locked in the forms late on Monday night, means that every article which can possibly be given space in the columns of the Collegiate must be in the hands of the editor before 1:15 Monday. This gives time for proper proof reading and will give you a paper more nearly meeting the requirements of a college periodical. Monday morning and Sunday (all day) are thus reserved for the handing in of special stories of general interest. All front page material may be placed in the box in Elizabeth Hall during this period. Saturday night closes the opportunity to turn in fraternity notes, and columns of personal interest. However this does not apply to special frat copy which should naturally go into the front page category. All regular columns, jokes and general columns, should be placed in the box or given personally to Donald Faulkner, the editor, during the week, on Friday, or before Saturday at 8 o'clock. This is required and will be observed in order to get such copy to the printers to keep them busy during Saturday morning. Remember that if your copy is not in then, the printers are idle and this makes a poorer Collegiate by running the expenses above the contracted price. Rat Trap, for which we are indebted to Prof. Roy Heffner, Campus Gossip, and columns, of this nature, should be placed in this class. Advertising copy must be given to the Advertising manager before five o'clock Saturday, and no copy can be accepted after eight o'clock Monday morningj unless of more than usual importance. The attention of the students of Stetson and the faculty is called to (Continued on page 6) ST. PETE CONCERT THE CHORAL CLUBS STAGED APRIL 4TH Program to be Given in Baptist Churh of St. Petersburg—Others in Lakeland and Tampa. THE COLLEGIATE NOW UNDER NEWLY SELECTED STAFF Tony Bates, as General Manager, Retains His Control of Policy of the Official School Paper. The Stetson Choral Society has closeuljie^otiations with reference. .< n their down state trip sche<? B^^^^^ this spring. April 4th will ^e^^^m^ThSn^fe 50 voices from the old school appearing before the people of St. Petersburg. The concert will be given in the Baptist church in St. Pete, due to the fine spirit of cooperation of Rev. Poulson of that denomination there. The Glee Clubs will sing in Lakeland on the way to St. Petersburg and in Tampa on the return, authough nothing more definite can now be quoted as to the particulars of these two appearances. Mrs. Kenefick is working with renewed energy te have a group sf singers such as has never been heard in the State to represent Stetson on this tour. It is of course due to her untiring efforts that the. Glee Clubs are enabled to have this opportunity, both as her work as director and in the capacity of concluding arrangements. As this trip has been the goal of the endeavors of the Glee Clubs during the entire year, and has been looked forward to with a great dea lof anticipation, the fact that at last the day is fast arriving, will only add to the pleasure of the work in the vocal department of the University.

They now assume full re- sponsibilty for their deeds. Toney Bates, as general manager and the power behind the throne, continues in this place, for Toney is, as some have wisely said, the Collegiate, tl is mainly due to his undying optimism and self abnegation, and forgjetfulness that there is today a Collegiate. The finance propisition would long ago have swamped the paper had it not been for his wisdom in directing af fairs. DONALD FAULKNER, Editor-in-Chief. WILLIAM H. COLLIER, Business Manager A. W.

Best Game of Season is Pitched by Smith on Friday. The Stetson Hatters joux-neyed to Ormond Friday afternoon and played the Professionals there a game to be long in the annals of Stetson athletics. The score sheets shows a tally of six to one, but this tells little of the fine points of that game. Brilliant plays and real diamond teamwork show the Stetson nine to be getting in first class shape. This will be needed no doubt when they face the Mercer nine on Friday and Saturday. They very likely will need a small part of their growing ability when they are matched against Eddie Roush's Cincinnati Reds on Thursday. Smith, in the box, pitched a phenomenal game, without flaw. Sledge Tatum was his efficient backstop. MERCER COLLEGE AND CINCINNATI HERE WEEK END Cincinnati Reds Here Thursday; Mercer Friday and Saturday. This coming Friday and Saturday the Mercer University baseball team from Macon, Ga., will cross bats with the Hatters in what will be two of the hardest fought games on our schedule this season. Mercer comes here direct from Gainesville where they play the Gators on Tuesday and Wednesday. If the Bull Dogs beat the Gators and we can in turn beat them, it will be quite a feather in cur baseball crown—that is just what Coach Whitnell is working on. We don't want to beat them only one game, but we want to take both of them. Don't be misled by this into believing that Mercer is just an ordinary ball club, as it is not. For years this college has bent every effort for a good baseball team, and they have always had one. There is so (Continued on page 2.) Coach McQuillan of the Lakeland Dreadnaughts, who has been signed 'as Stetson Coacl^fj^-n^xt year, was in town last week'£jj^Jy,h Jhe girls' basketball team from Lakeland, when they were here for the tournament. The editor liad a short, but enthusiastic talk with the new mentor, and was very much impressed with "the man". Coach is a likeable chap, and has the facility of making one like him right off the bat. He is rather quiet, and has very little to say that may .have a chance of being proven wrong. Mr. McQuillan says to the students of Stetson,'through the Collegiate that he is in perfect harmony with their slogan to "Beat Florida" and that his one effort will be to turn out a team that will whip the mighty Gators. That was about all that he said, but, oh boy, what a lot he said in just those two words, "Beat Florida." The new coach will take charge this coming fall when the football men report, and will be head coach of all Stetson's athletics from then on. The Collegiate is back of Coach McQuillan, and wishes him the best of luck, and may he and his men next year "Beat Florida." CINCINNATI HERE TOMORROW All the strength and all the baseball brains of Coach Whitnell's fighting Hatters will be tested Thursday afternoon when they swing bats with the Cincinnati Reds on the Cummings field. The Hatters have been working hard and are playing a sterling brand of baseball and with such hurling as Harrison, Smith and Henderson have been displaying, they ought to be able to make deep inroads into the craek baseball mistic of the big league team. The Cincinnati Reds have been training in Orlando and are at present in tip-top shape. Jake Daubert, premier first sacker, will vie playing with the classy Whitnell, or Stetson pride. Ivy Wingo and Hargreaves, two of the greatest catchers in the big league pastime, will divide honors behind the plate. Manager Hendricks will work Luque, Johnny Cuch, and Carl Mays, the underhand marvel of the Majors on the mound. Eppa Rixey will prboably toss over a few. Jake Daubert, Sam Bdne, Pinelli, and Cavanny will constitute the infield. While Roush, Burns, and Harper will handle all the high ones in the outer gardens. A wonderful combination that all DeLand, and Volusia county should turn out to witness. This will undoubtedly be the biggest game that Stetson has had this year. It will be a gala day for the (Continued on page 2) ARTISTS CONCERT OF CONSERVATORY IS WELL ATTENDED Mrs. Kenefick Stages Fine Concert in the Auditorium. ORCHESTRA IN DEBUT STETSON CHORAL SOCIETY AND ORCHESTRA PUT ON HIGHLY APPRECIATED PROGRAM. Stetson Orchestra, under the direction of Donald Faulkner, and Stetson Choral Society, under the direction of Mrs. Marion Dow Kenefick, called forth the plaudits and praise of a large and appreciative audience in the Stetson auditorium Sunday at four o'clock. A fine program of the best that the realm of music offers, was rendered. The girls' glee club number "Dreams," by Huerter, a delicate song, beautifully rendered, made a decided hit with the audience. This song is built eipon the Old Rocking chair theme, and is as fine a number as could have been selected. The men's glee club sang "Christ in Flanders," bringing out some very beautiful harmony. Mrs. Kenefick's solo, "With Ven- dure Clad," taken from the Oratorio Creation by Halden, was the climax of the entire program. Mrs. Kenefick's beautiful voice, heard in one of music's finest numbers could not fail but win applause. She and Per- sis Burns sang "Love Divine," a selection from Stainer's "Daughter of Jairus." Beth Brownlee sang [the favorite number "Ejr^ Vis? - ^,ua Seen", from 'JThe Hv Oit Two numb ^^H^^^^ cirotr- were~~received well by t/ dience "The Spring Song" by Abt and "The Night is Calm and Cloudless," (Continued on pag-e 5.) O PI KAP BANQUET Chi Chapter of the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity will hold the annual banquet Friday night at the Colleg-a Arms Hotel. This is one of the big events in the school's social calendar and the boys of the frat and the alumnae look forward eagerly to its opening. The banquet is this year to be merely a part of a general homecoming and jollification. This season lasts throughout the 20th, 21st and 22nd of the month. The 21st, that is Thursday night, is to be taken up with an initiation service for the amusement of the alumnae and the edification of the pled ges. -O- COACH PUG ALLEN BACK IN LEAGUE BALL FOR SEASON Stetson's Coach is Now Signed With Indianapolis. Last Thursday Coach "Pug" Allen, left for Plant City to join the Indianapolis club of the American Association in spring training. It will bring a glow of pride to all of "Pug's" many friends and followers that he has taken a step up the baseball ladder and is now playing class AA baseball. Pug has been coach of all of Stetson's athletic teams for the last five years, and with only medi- cre material has turned out some of the best teams that Stetson has ever had. Especially has Allen turned out some wonderful basketball teams Pug has played the outfield for the last four years, though he started out"* as a pitcher, but his heavy hitting soon saw to it that he was shifted to the out gardens, and there he ha3 stayed. He went to the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1920, and stayed up in the "Big Time" for the entire season. In 1921 he was sent to Ned Orleans for seasoning and was later sold to Birmingham where he played in 1922. Last year he went to Dallas (Continued on page 2.)
