They have met two rivals on the same evening and come off victorious and having once experienced the exhileration of battling against odds will no more be satisfied with less. The Eustis team was met and vanquished in ye Cummings Gym. The trouncing was administered before a fair crowd, but the said trouncing did not meet with unanimous approval. In fact the Eustis team put up some serious oppo-j sition; more so than the score' would indicate.

The Varsity Club will debate the same question .next Friday evening and another group of debaters will handle this great ques- j tion. A fine debate is expected and every member should be present o EUSOPHIAN LITERARY SOCIETY The meeting of the Eusophian Literary Society last Friday night was very brief, due to the fact that there were so many other things sired was Subscribed.—Committee Appointed to Collect Balance. in The announcement made chapel last Friday morning, calling for a mass meeting of the young men, was effective. There was a crowd of approximately fifty fellows present. A meeting was called for 7:15 Thursday evening but there was such a smull number of fellows present and consequently nothing was done. Perhaps the reason for this was that it was Y. M. C. A. Night and that everyone was extremely busy with other things. Prof. Smith took charge of the meeting. His remarks were in regard to the favorable conditions of the baseball situation, especially the athletic side of the question. The fact that we have an excellent coach and plenty of most excellent material was the subject of a few passing remarks. The question Last Sunday marked the return of the Vesper Service to the accustomed hour of four. After the reading of the Scriptures by Dr. Hulley, Mr. Honneycutt sang" 0,Divine Redeemer" (Charles Gounod). Following this a trio from Elijah, "Lift thine eyes, O lift thine eyes," was rendered by Miss Nellie Kruse, Miss Lord, and Mrs. Bow. Dr. Hulley delivered a very forceable talk on the subject of "Songs in the night." He brought out the thought that God gives joy in the midst of sorrow. He also showed that many of the world's greatest men produced their masterpieces during the hours of affliction. The anthem, "I Am a Pilgrim, I Am a Stranger'' was sung by the Vesper Choir as a closing number. o DR. PERSER LECTURES. Dr. Perser, connected with the. educational department of the Foreign Missions Board of the Southern Baptist Convention, spoke to the members of the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. in the Christian Association Room immediately after supper Sunday night. Dr. Perser showed very clearly of t.roviding the |the value of mission study. He half Elliot substituted for Gumm, Phillips for R. Haynes and Woodall for Woodard and things started to happening. Elliot and Smith worked together like a well regulated machine and kept the Eustis defence dazed while Woodall put up a magnificent defence for Stetson. It was a good game thru out— from a Stetson view point. Each Stetsonite appeared to advantage. The final score was Stetson 24, Eustis 7. The band kindly furnished music for the occasion.

The Kent Club met, as usual, Friday night. Due to the small attendance occassioned by other attractions, the program was postponed to next Friday night and the Club adjourned. A large attendance is desired for the next meeting. o STETSON LIT. The Stetson Literary Society met last Friday evening in the Lit. room. As many of the members had other engagements, the meeting was cut short. The following program was rendered: Stetso n Star—Miss Mary Hullej team with suits w^s then considered and the necessary amount of financial help few this expense It was stated that-..J 50 would be required to defray this expense. If the student body would bear this burden there were good prospects of securing some aid from the citizens of DeLand in case it were needed. At least, that was the opinion of Prof. Smith. Then subscriptions were called for. Prof. Smith headed the list by giving the sum of fifteen dollars. This was followed by nice sums from the fraternities and by the student The executive committee of the body in general.

STETSON QUINTET ROMPS ON EUSTIS VARSITY TOSSERS FIND OPPONENTS EASY PICKINS. Eustis Team Helpless Before Marvelous Team Work and Shooting of Varsity. Saturday night the Varsity basket ball team took Eustis into camp by a large score. The game was played in that city. Eustis was out played by a large margin at every stage of the game. Tho defeated and hopless the Eustis lads put up a game that had one redeeming feature — fight. The brilliant team work of Coach Hollander's warriors kept the Eustis boys in a desperate scramble for the ball. While the game was peppery and interesting to watch, the spectators were never in doubt as to the final outcome, and as to who would carry off honors. The game was a clean one without any unpleasantness to mar the occassion. Stetson registered four counters before the Eustis squad got started. After that Eustis braced and took the offensive; all, however, to no purpose. The score at the end of the first half was 22-7. During the final period every man on the varsity sprung inter the stellar role. Stetson found the hoop for the double counters with regularity in spite of all the opposition of the Eustis boys. Several points were annexed via, the free throw route. Gardiner did all the free throwing for Stetson, and tossed 'em thru with neatness and dispatch. Ten points were . gathered in this manner. Rutherford, the little fellow playing center lead in the scoring having 8 baskets to his credit. Miller played a consistent game and covered the floor in dazzling fashion. Of Walkers' and O'Connell 's guarding nothing need be said. One thing can always be taken for granted, .those boys are "there." Minter was put in during the last three minutes as guard and made two baskets. Good thing he wasn't in all the time. Someone's reputation might have suffered by comparison. For Eustis, Gustavenson and Emerson put up a good game at forwards, as in fact did the entire team in their respective positions. Eustis needs no alibi. Their men put up a battle royal, but were simply outclassed by a heavier and better trained team. The score was Varsity, 60; Eus tis, 14. Ray Jordan journied over to Ormond via. auto for the week-end. We have had numerous inquiries as to the wherefor of "Mac's" interest in the coming poultry show of the County Fair.
