Southern College outplayed our boys on the local gridiron last Saturday and won by the score of 12-0. If our team could have quit fumbling and mixing signals, we could easily have won.

In the second half, Haskins took Hodgden's place at full-back, Tribble took Curran's end and Lourcey replaced Farris. The Kings team braced in the third quarter and pushed the ball so near Stetson's goal line that the forward pass which is disputed as illegal was put over for the only score of the game. Liddell and Sherman were the shining lights for Stetson. Our sturdy captain was called for many runs and almost invariably made his distance. On one or two oc- ex-Pres. C. V.

These being joyfully disposed of the fellows pushed back their chairs and listened to speeches by Uncle Dan, several of the mem" bers and some of the visitors. The sincere laughter which pealed forth truly indicates how everyone enjoyed the occasion. After several rollicking fraternal songs the crowd , dispersed to await the thirteenth of;man who cau^ht his kick Carson was a strong man twenty yards around King's end Sherman played a splendid game at right end and was responsible for throwing the King's men for losses on several plays. Very few gains were made around his end. Lourcey played his first game of football and covered himself with glory by getting loose for a thirty yard run around King's right end. Qiarruid, M^vor of " teLand; is a step in the right direction. It will take a couple of years perhaps to build up a winning team but when it is done, we will all be proud of the achievement. The students will support the football proposition when they know that every man has a fair show to make the Varsity. We are proud now of our eleven. They played a clean game, and fought bitterly to the blow of the referee whistle. They will win next time. The line-up was as follows: Right end—Sherman. Right tackle—Padgett. Right guard—Walker. Center—Longstreet. Left guard—Carson. Left tackle—Beatty. Left end—Curran. Quarter-back—Merri tt. Let half—Liddell. Full-back—Hodgden. Right half—Farris. Tribble for Curran; Haskins for Hodgden; Lourcey for Farris.

John Padgett, our mighty tackle, had had but two practices with the team for he has just returned to school. But John played the same game 'that secured him a position on the Varsity when it was the best in the history of the college. He made some fine runs and was a tower of strength in the line.

Good cheering from the side-lines will help the boys who are playing and is indicative of the kind of Stetson spirit which has been always in evidence here. The fellows had not practiced enough on the cheers and yells. It is hoped that they will all get together before the next game and show us some consistent cheering. The work last Monday was largely extemporaneous, but it was a whole lot better than nothing. We are glad that the boys did as well as they could under the circumstances. » LtfpS LU I lit [Jid.

The students filed in—husky warriors and demure-eyed co-ed ; the various Profs took their respective seats on the platform—that is, all but Dean Smith. The Dean was absent, as we know; he had the important office of ringing the chapel bell. Dean Carson arose to call the roll —but no bell rang. He waited; he listened—but no bell. Doc Hulley looked at his watch; it was five minutes past time for that bell to ring. They waited some more—they waited five minutes—they waited ten minutes; it was now 9:05. The profs and the students were getting impatient; some of the "Weary Willies" had gone to sleep, The Doc became restless. He leaned over towards the Historical Dean and said, "It is now 9:10, and no bell. What do you think is the matter with Archie?" "Something serious, I suppose," said the dean. "Maybe he has taken heart failure, or his frown has cracked." "I'll go over and look into the matter," says Doc, and he left the platform. He went over to DeLand Hall and peeped inside. He was astonished at the sight he saw. The room looked like it had been the ] scene of a might}- battle. The floor was heaped four feet deep with scattered sheets of paper and Miss Elizabeth Munhall, one of the popular Tri-Deltas of last year was present at the Sigma Nu open house on last Saturday.
