STETSON HATTERS DEFEAT DAYTONA ALL-STARS The Stetson Hatters defeated the Daytona All-Stars Saturday by a lopsided score of 44-0. Beginning with the initial kick-off the Hatters completely outclassed and out-played the Datona boys in all phases of the game. The game opened with the Hatter reserves complete, with one exception, in the line-up. Within the first two minutes the first touchdown was made by Courtney on an end run for • 15 yards. In, the second quarter Coach Allen thought it best that his first string men get a. little exercise, so that they might not miss their daily workout. 'As soon as the first string- men were called in things began to happen. On the very first play a touchdown was made by a pass from Covington to Whitnell. After that the spirit seemed to leave the Daytona boys and their goal was crossed .almost at will. Whitnell and his speed, coupled with his experience and knowledge of football, was, indeed a formidable foe, for the all-stars to cope with. Covington, of course, played his usual game which is saying a good deal. On the kick-off he booted the pill over the goal each time. Covington certainly has an educated toe for the kick-off. Courtney was called out of the ^ame early on account of his speed. It didn't seem right to let him carry the ball around the wings. Teare tore his way through the Daytona line, dragging four or five of their men with him Ossinsky tossed the ball from the center position. We can't figure out where this guy belongs. He seems to play every position on the team Tike had been at it for 40 years. Hays, dean of the Metropolitan j •school5, or cats, \7as on duty Saturday. Tribble played his visual position, .and played it well. Selsley, our new guard, played a game that is certainly worthy of comment. The ah}-stars just quit trying to pull plays over his side of the line. Cox and Layton played their respective positions in the absence of Captain Boyle and Hargreaves. These two boys were partly the reason that Datona was thrown for a loss so often. Kennedy made a dashing run from the six inch line for the final touchdown. Kennedy's place is, at present, in the line, but he isn't so bad in the back-field, i Many others played a stellar game, j but they go without' mention. They ; always do. Though it was rumored that Day- jtona was bringing two all-Southern , men from West Point with them, they 'failed to show up. One man in the | back-field was a sure gainer, but he | was soon over-worked and was forced to retire. We were not able to get the all- stars' line-up, but ours was as follows: C.—Ossinsky. R. G.—Tatum. R. T.—Tribble. R. E.—Cox. L. G.—Silsby. L. T.—Hays. L. E.—Layton. R. H.—Mortiz. L. H.—Brobson. Q.—Courtney. ■ F. B.—Hon. ADAM AND EVA PERSONALLY DIRECTED BY MR. STOVER Stetson is indeed fortunate in having a man of Mr. Stover's calibre as the head of the Department of Public Speaking. In the years that he has been connected with the University he has proven himself to be not only an instructor of high degree, but an able director of dramatic productions as well. Mr. Stover has made the study of dramatic technique and interpretation, his life wor. Mr. Stover is a graduate of the King School of Oratory, and before coming to Stetson had been connected with several well j known, colleges of the eastern part ; of the country. He began his dramatic work at Shepherd College, lo | cated in Shepherdtown, West Va, ^rom this school he went to Union Seminary at New Berlin, Pa., following which he was for three years] head of the department of public speaking in Susquehanna University,1 Selinsgrove, Pa., coming to Stetson in 1908, where for the last 15 years' he has been head of Depta. of Public Speaking and Oratory in Stetson, University. His firs tappearance in Chautauqua' was with the Brockwaite people, a" famous old Chautauqua organization of some ten or fifteen years ago. Fok lowing this he was for some years connected with the National Summer circuit. During this he also acted as instructor and director of Public Speaking in several well known northern summer schools. While at the present time he is, in addition to his work here at Stetson a member of of the faculty of the University of Indiana summer school at Lake Wy- nona, Ind., where his ability as an entertainer and director has been most maborably received. While at Lake Wynona he also occupies a position of lecturer in the well known Rodenhayer training school. The people of DeLand have for so long enjoyed the productions which have been given by the University dramatic club, and later the dramatic fraternity, that it is doubtful if they realize the high quality of his work as director. As an actor in the Dramatic Festival productions last year, and later as Petrchio in the annual Shakespearian play, his ability to live characters which he portrayed amply justified the high esteem with which his work in the dramatic world is received. 0 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION REORGANIZED *- -* ADMIRAL SIMS PAYS A VISIT TO UNIVERSITY ■| Thursday, Nov. 15, about 4 p. m., Admiral Sims greeted the student body in the auditorium, as well as a large number of the town people, and made a few brief remarks. ^ : %. Foremost among . the progressive and forward-looking steps taken by Stetson this year should be mentioned the re-organization and enlargement of the Department of Educa-1 tion. The number of causes for the training of teachers has been more than doubled. The requirements for degrees for those majoring in Education, has been increased. This enlargement of the causes and hands required has made it necessary to employ an'additional full time professor to handle the work. In addition to the courses formerly offered in psychology, -the history of education ami public school methods and management, Stetson is now giving strong courses in State and County School Administration, Standard Tests and Measurements, High School Teaching and Administration, and the psychology and philosophy of education. Stetson's educational department is now giving not only the courses necessary in the training of teachers for grade work and high school positions, but also' such training as should be extremely helpful to students who are planning to hold administrative positions in our cities and counties. The type of work which modern schools are demanding today requires special training for those who are to be responsible for all administrative duties. Trained Superintendents, Principals and Supervisors are needed everywhere. Stetson is enlarged to meet the needs of Florida* and her school teachers. Normal and teachers' college training, including prescribed and elective studies from the professional courses in education and the regular courses in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences leading to the following degrees are offered: * Licentiate of Instruction, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Philosophy and Master of Arts. To provide proper facilities for the education of her boys and girls is the paramount duty of every democratic state. The rendering of efficient service in the field of instruction or supervision is sufficiently important to challenge the service of the strongest men and women of our American colleges. p;c ^t^^t^i^i^ii^^m^^^i^^^ University Auditorium FRIDAY, 8 P. M. WANT TO HEAR A CONCERT? Mrs. Marian Kenefick wishes to announce that there will be a concert by the members of her vocal classes on Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock in the auditorium of Elizabeth Hall.

The boys are going up to Tallahassee and the girls are going to Gainesville to give the lonely boys there a chance to inspect what they are missing by not going to Stetson instead of Florida. 0 SIGMA NU NEWS The Delt a Mu chapter has been notified that during the past year their scholarship record was the highest of the 89 chapters which compose the Sigma Nu fraternity.

Nell Lane took down a party in her car, including Martha McConnell, JkCerceda Lloyd, Jack Teare, O. J. Walter and L. F. Boyle with Miss Cour- son as chaperone.

Ed Stone and Hall Shepherd will exchange departments next term, the former going to the Law School and the latter, who has completed his course in law, to the College of Liberal Arts. The dance following the Florida- Stetson game was such a huge success that plans are already being made for a still larger and more powerful one following the game with Rollins. About a hundred and fifty people attended the last dance and all of two hundred are expected on Thanksgiving night.

Last week appropriate invitations in fraternity colors were received by all the old girls, inviting them to a party at the fraternity room Wednesday evening, Nov. 14th, at 6:15. The evening was full of surprises and fun. Covers were laid for 30, the tables being artistically decorated with double-blue and gold ribbons and pink roses. A three-course dinner was served, during which the pledges entertained with music, songs, and several clever stunts. The biggest surprise was the presentation of a walnut desk to the fraternity by the pledges. Everyone enjoyed themselves iimmensely and consider the Alpha Xi Delta "rats" charming and clever hostesses. O— "BACON BAT" A most enjoyable "bacon bat" was given by Miss Hillis Carmean in her room on "Society El" on Friday evening after the game. Miss Brown, from Jacksonville, a sister of the Misses Thelma and Joyce Brown, was the honored guest. Lots of. music, fun and good old Chaudoin "pep" made the party most successful. The happy recipients of Miss Hillis' hospitality were Ree Anderson, Leola King, Thelma and Joyce Brown, Dot Dietz, Mane Courson, Miss Brown, and Charlotte Farrington. After a most perfect day, Saturday was brought to a fitting climax by Society El joining in a jollification in Ree Anderson's room and celebrating the victory of the day with a real party in true Hallowe'en style. Most delicious salad sandwiches, olives, pickles, cakes and hot chocolate were enjoyed by the guests. Among whom were the Misses Hillis Carmean, Charlotte Farrington, Thelma and Joyce Brown, Ree Courson, Dot Dietz, Leola King and Ree Anderson. O M. & M.
