DELAND, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1915. NUMBER 1 4 STETSON 22 SOUTHERN 24 STETSON COLLEGE BOYS OUTPLAYED BUNCH OF RINGERS FROM SOUTHERN. The Two Scovils and Hodgden Put Up Wonderful Game. PROFESSOR GUEVCHENIAN'S SONG RECITAL. Clean athletics at Stetson received a tremendous boost when our boys held the aggregation of ringers and professionals from Southern to a 24-22 score last Friday night. Our team was outweighed by a large majority but had the necessary grit and pluck to keep their opponents hustling every minute and at one time even succeeded in taking the lead. The work of the two Scovil brothers was remarkable and they won a place on the Stetson Basketball team as long as they care to play. There is no one in school who can touch them in ability. Hodgden, the captain of the team, played a very consistent game and also deserves commendation. The contest was fast and hard from the start. The scores were tied with regularity until near the end of the first half, when it stood 16-12. In the second half our fellows played even harder but the final count was 24-22. Altogether the game was the On January 28, in the Auditorium, a song recital was given by Professor Guevchenian. It was not only most enjoyable, but deeply instructive and students of the Music Department in particular appreciated the opportunity of hearing a programme from such masters as Schubert, Richard Strauss and others, all rendered in a truly artistic way, and in diction, Italian, French, German and English, songs were sung. Miss Julia Ball played the accompaniments with the utmost charm and efficiency. o RECEPTION IN CHAUDOIN PI BETA PHI MRS. ALLEN GOES. The usual quiet (?) of Chaudoin Hall was broken Saturday night and excitement reigned when an informal reception was given in the cozy rooms of Miss Priscilla Bishop. Ordinarily an affair of this kind might be deemed insufficient cause for so much excitement, but when we consider that all the fair ones of Chaudoin who attended this pafrty were escorted by gallant and handsome young men, we agree that it was worthy of all the excitement which it caused. The ladies were charming in beautiful evening gowns while the escorts were scarcely less pleasing in suits acquired especially for this occasion. The affair ended in a chafing- FRATERNITY GIRLS GIVE HUGE RECEPTION IN CARNEGIE LIBRARY. ryTrnTJIlUC ^° ^e mtense surprise and dis- LN I LIII HI NO appointment of the entire student body, Mrs. Allen, our popular and efficient librarian, suddenly packed her suitcase and departed for parts unknown.

Excitement ran high and burst all bounds when our boys for a few minutes led the rangers from South Florida. The old Stetson spirit was in evidence and the game will serve to reassure us all that our school has an excellent opportunity to build up winning teams in every department of athletics without the assistance of any but those absolutely qualified to represent us as bona fide students in all particulars. The line-up:— Guards—Hodgden and Scovil. Forwards—Scovil and Turnquist. Center—Jennings.
