Continued on page 4 nected with a splendid defence, that the " Brigandiers " finally conquered j the Stetsonions. The final score was 37 to 33. It was such a game that the winner could not be determined until the final count. The passing was the best displayed this year and the shooting was exceptionally- good as compared to any of' the previous performances. I Rutherford and Gardner distinguished themselves for the Outlaws, scoring 18 and 12 points) respectively. Minter did splendid work playing the floor to advantage. Junkins and Baskins did their full share of good defensive work. For Stetson Hall, Miller was the shining light scoring 15 points of the. 33 scored by his team. Hon was a close second, scoring 8 points, while O'Connell and Fuller put up a good game. The score at the ending of the first half was 15 to 16 in favor of Stetson Hall. From all indications it looked as tho the Stetson Hall team had a mighty fine chance at humbling the mighty "Bandits." Such, however, was not to be. The Stetsonians weakened before the steady attack of their rivals. By a magnificent spurt the Outlaws literally swept the Stetson Hall team off its feet, during the last few moments of play. How evenly matched were j the teams may best be judged by the score. It is conceded that the Outlaws had a pretty good quintette, and as a matter of fact so did Stetson Hall, and every other team represented in the league. The series was one of the best and most successful ever organized in this institution. Outlaws. are of such a nature that all townspeople as well as students will find them of great benefit and pleasure. o ADDRESS AFTER CHAPEL.
