A. CRAWFORD) Stetson University was again victorious in a great battle staged on Cummings field last Saturday in which Newberry College of South Carolina fell before^the Stetson football warriors to the tune of 26 to 2. Although Stetson was scored on by a safety, bad pass from the center, Stetson ably defended her goal line and it was not crossed. The boys were determined to see that they held their perfect record by defending their goal line. Stetson rooters were well pleased with the actions of numbers of the players. Captain Guriby was consistent in his playing. He was one of the mainstays of the team, although he did not come in for any of the spectacular stuff that the backfield men did. Bernard was the favorite on the field. This fellow started at full and did some wonderful playing, but along with him Covey, Baldi, Courtney. i nd Callahan came in ^^^^^^^ if i nti__fc___ derfTST^ame on his end of the line. Courtney, altJMfh light, took the ball time and time again for wonderful gains while Stewart, playing in the backfield part of the time, went through the Newberry line at will. Each of men on the line did excellent work but because of the massed nature of the plays they were not prominent individually. Snyder was noticeable because of his height. Freeman and Layton on the wing positions did some beautiful work, particularly when Freeman caught the first pass of the game which was a difficult one. Tribble played a good game until forced to leave because of a minor injury. First Quarter First Half: Newberry appeared on the field in red jersey's. The danger of the color will shortly be determined.

This action was taken because so many persons were not satisfied with the name, feeling it did not not signify in any degree what the team should be. For the present the team will continue to be called the "Hatters" until some definite action can be taken toward adopting a standard name for Stetson Fotball Record 'ublished ForVisitors Use Stetson up to e Newberry game had made a perfe< record in football games with the foowing scores: Stetson G, vs. Jjnsacola Naval Air Station, 0.

Name Address All of the old men at Pi Kappa Phi fraternity are talking this week about the great banquet the pledges gave them last week at the Inglehart. The affair started at 8 p. m. In the Inglehart the tables had been arranaged in one long row down the center and they were appropriately decorated. James Carr acted at toast master. At the opening Edward Henderson, chapter chaplain, said grace. The toastmaster gave a hearty welcome to the old men and made a short address. During the serving of the meal there were speeches mixed in. Bob McLain started an address on "The Importance of the Stetson Collegiate" and turned it over to H. A. Schubiger to finish. Chan Johnson gave a toast to the old men and Kerfoot Bryant, ranking officer in the chapter, gave the response. . Fred Stewart was called upon to give an extemporaneous scientific discussion of "How high is up?" He did this very well and explained the case clearly. C. T. Henderson finished the speaking with an appropriate talk on the relation of Pi Kappa Phi to Stetson. o a ; NEW JERSEYIANS students returning to their Alma ter. Stetson has long been looking forward to a great home coming day. The success of the football team this year furnished a means for a drawing card. The old alumni are getting more interested in their school every day as the reports go out to cover* the entire state with news of happenings at this school. The'actions of the eleven have been very satisfactory. Every victory has been a stronger call to the ears of the old alumni. Letters are already being received from old students telling of their renewed interest in the Alma Mater. All of this behooves the Stetson students to fall in line to make the game the most enthusiastic in the history of tbe school. It is generally thought that the Stetson stm; must show the Alumni there is much greater pep here. If this is done, better support probably can be gotten from the alumni. Several of tl:e fraternities have announced plans for the entertaainment of visiting alumni of the chapters. The Pi Kappa Phi's have issued invitations for an alumni reception and dance while the Sigma Nil's, who are expected to have quite a number of alumni here, will give a banquet at the Putnam hall at 6:30 p. m. A general reception and get-together will be held at the Phi Kappa Delta. Everything is being done to make the alumni want to come back for another home coming. 6 Miss Keen Gives Birthday Party One of the most lovely parties held in Chaudoin hall this year was given All of the plays flB The program Eb.
