The Freshmen gathered themselves together on last Saturday night to indulge in a party. Elaborate plans for their function were made and equally intricate were the devices of the Sophomores to prevent the consummation of those intentions. The Sophs during the day sedulously filched the glad rags of all the Freshmen that they could lay their hands on. And as the hour for the party drew nigh, the exuberant Sophs made a fierce attack upon the person of the worthy president of the Freshies and carried him away to some secret place, there to keep him and thus prevent his glorious advent upon the scene of Chaudoin festivities. However, the consistent friends of the Freshies, i. e., the Juniors, were on the job, and located the place of incarceration of the noble chief executive, who was none other than Mr. Charles Albert Robinson. The Sophs, ten strong, had descended upon Charlie in the Phi Psi frat house and had transported his majesty to Brother Ernerson's, room in Cuiirad Hall. J nevertheless ~to arou^e^^sTfohg de sire among the Scrouges present to divorce themselves from a ducat or two. After dancing the Red Man's hesitation around the fire for Chaudoin's edification, the fellows moved to the Gym. Griffin opened hostilities with an appeal for money. This speech was followed by splendid harangues by Captain Liddell, roosting on one foot, Coach Campbell, Dr. Archy, and several of the prospective victims. Then the auction for pledges began, which, like the mills of the gods, worked exceedingly slow. However, at the end of ten minutes $165.35 was pledged and $112.55 was paid in before the meeting adjourned. Combining this amount with what had been previously paid in, the Sigma Nu Fraternity has contributed, collectively and individually, $81.75; the Phi Beta Psi, $64.75; Phi Kappa Delta, $44.30; Stray Greeks, $25.00; faculty members, $50.00. # KENT CLUB. In an interesting and well fought game Stetson defeated Gordon Military Institute last Friday afternoon on the local field. The score of 7—0 does not indicate the real strength of Stetson for the ball was continually in Gordon's territory, and on two occtsions, our boys were within a few yards of the goal line when the inevitable fumbles occurred and the ball went over and was punted to safety. The score should have been 21—0. This serves as a practice game for the Mercer contest on the 14th. There was a delay in starting the game as Gordon had liberally smeared the suits of her back field men with a concoction of lard and axlegrease, evidently believing that by this modest stunt they could evade being tackled. But the referee did not agree with the strategy and made the heroes roll in the dust for a minutes until the slickness largely removed. Captain Liddell was on the side lines with a bad leg and John i-PcArr^ *ypr,ii?r+iiiior gc nTfflip few was to do and were compelled to punt. Stetson fumbled but Gordon was offside so the ball went back. Lourvey took five. Farriss three and Merritt made first down. Gordon caught one of our ill-fated forward passes and made a slight gain, but they fumbled and Stetson recovered. Padgett took two. Lourcey eight. Farriss three, and the quarter was over with the ball in the middle of the field. Second Quarter. Haskins replaced Farriss at left half. Hogie took four, and Padgett responded with ten more. Haskins and Hodgden each tore off two but Lourcey was thrown for a loss. Gordon caught a pass on their eighteen yard line. Gordon went for five around our right end but fumbled on the next play and Tubby recovered. Beatty made five and Haskins went thru the line for eight and a touchdown was in sight but he fumbled. Gordon grabbed the oval and made four yards but gave the job up in disgust and pointed over Merritts head so that the ball i rolled to Stetson's forty*/'yard line. Haskins took eleven. Beatty was returned twenty-five yards in a nice run. This decent beginning inspired our boys to make a touchdown and they went a total of eighty-two yards in straight football and Merritt crossed the line and then kicked goal. The features of this processional down the field were two fifteen yard runs by Padgett and Merritt around ends. Thusly encouraged by a score PHI BETA PSI ENTERTAINS AFTERNOON RECEPTION FOR FRAT MEN AND WOMEN AND UNIVERSITY PEOPLE. Given in Honor of Florida A. T. O's., Who Could Not Come. The boys of the Phi Beta Psi Fraternity had open house -last ! Saturday afternoon to which all friends and university people were invited. This was the first social function of the Phi Psi's in their new quarters, and they were glad to receive their friends at the house.

After the address, the regular debate was given. The question was, "Resolved, That the Present European War Is an Object Lesson to the United States and Is a Warning to be Ready in the Case of an Emergency." Affirmative, Phillips and Peacock. Negative, Jennings and Jones. The judges, Rasco and Kanner, decided in favor of the affirmative. # Those who enjoyed the company of the "Devil" at Chaudoin Saturday evening will be sorry to learn that his Satanic majesty is at present suffering from an attack of the mumps.

Anyone who attends the lectures in Elizabeth Hall on Sundays cannot help being impressed with the size of the audiences and the wrapt attention with which the addresses by Dr. Hulley are heard.
