The production was in keeping with the excellent plays that have marked this event for the last ten years. The play given was the "Fortune Hunter," the story centering about a young college fellow who had tried his hand at almost everything in the business world and' had falied. He was finally advised to go to a country village and make love to the richest girl there. His experiences and the manner in which his outlook on life was changed makes a very interesting STETSON TAKES FIRST GAME FIRST A DECISIVE VICTORY SECOND LOST BY HARD HITTING AND COSTLY ERRORS. GIRLS LOSE AT ORLANDO The only game so far this season that our girls have lost was to the Cathedral School in Orlando last Friday night. It was a close score at that—17 to 12.

The "Fortune Hunter" is an impossibility as far as actuality is concerned. But as a background for some very funny scenes and as a basis for expressing one or two very true facts it serves its purpose very well indeed. The farce abounds in comical situations and even more in comical and witty remarks by the characters. Altogether we feel safe Kanner, Tribble and Rivers. The Appelate Court will be taken up in the Spring Term, and the fellows are anticipating some real good work. ± o KENT CLUB MEETS VARSITY CLUB ON APRIL 9. After many sad and vacillating procrastinations the Kent Club has been able to decide that its team will attempt to uphold the negative of the question "Resolved, is m saying that the college play | That the Colombian Treat\ for this year is one of the best Just." The speakers for the Kent Club are Haskins, Kanner and Jennings. For the College Men: Longstreet, Peterson and Winner. o Vernon Vallolodoid Smythe desires to make public announcement that none less than two of his inamoratas from the direction of Eustis were in town last weekend, viz: Misses Clare Belle Baker and Nell Lester plays that have been presented at Stetson.

The first game resulted in a Stetson victory, the score being 6 to 3. The second game resulted in 8 to 6 with a victory for the Pope aggregation. The last game was marked by heavy hitting and costly errors. This makes four straight in which the series have stood even and it is sincerely hoped that some arrangement may be made to play off the resulting tie. The first game was played in football weather but was hotly contested. Gross and Lourcey worked for Stetson, and Rose, Barze and Taylor for Rollins. Rose took the count in the third by the knock out route and Barze who succeeded him fared but little better. Jimmie twirled masterful ball and was but seldom in danger, and was well supported by his 1 The points of the Orlando team were made almost entirely on fouls called on Stetson. They made but three baskets during the entire game. There . is considerable dissatisfaction on the justness of the refereeing and the next game is to have an official from St. Augustine and is to be played on a neutral floor. The score at the end of the first \ half was 8—3 against Stetson. Our team put up a game fight in the last half and made four baskets. But Orlando made five points on fouls and so the game was lost. The line-up for Stetson was the same as in the last game here with the very notable exception that Wiletta Elliott was sick and Two Lectures a Day for Five Days to Crowded Chapel. Last week from March 17—21, the great Byron King was again at Stetson. Dr. King is from the King School of Oratory, Pittsburg, Pa., of which he is founder and head. Some of the students and faculty who remember when he j was here before, were prepared for this treat provided by the university administration. A lecturer of national reputation, and critic of authority and player of Shakespeare, an author, and above all a great teacher—Dr. King blessed us indeed in this lecture course. To be able to hold an audience twice daily for almost a week, . to command universal attention had been there a different story \from a11 ^Pes of People-students, would have to be told in spite of the referee. o TENNIS TOURNAMENT. John Beatty, the indefatigable, has exercised himself to put on the biggest mixed tennis tournament that has ever been witnessed on young and old, business men and pleasure seekers—that is to understand the life and interests of one's fellow men, to love them, to reach out and help them. As a rule, the evening lectures were on various subjects, dealing with the vital, tangible, homely things of life: "What fools VUIl«/V IIIMVIW We failed to get the box score for the first game . but can give the score by innings:— 123456789R Stetson 2021010006 Rollins 0200100003 The Rollins Club gathered eight hits off of Gross while the Varsitv Jcal courts.

In the fourth Hodgden hit for the circuit and Merritt tripled but was out stealing home. In the sixth inning things began to happen. In the first half Stetson ran in four runs when Gardiner, Hodgden, Merritt and Haskins hit safe, coupled with two errors by the Rollins short stop. Rollins, not to be outdone, started a batting rally that coupled with a couple of errors netted them four runs. Haskins was taken out and Thomas sent in, and Rollins was retired after gaining but one run from the big boy's delivery. Barze had in the meantime taken Jacobson's place and succeeded in holding Stetson scoreless—thanks to a decision of his umps, declaring Lourcey's mighty drive a foul which was plainly fair, not by inches but by feet, and which should have tied the score. Rollins annexed another in the eighth and Kanner, Gross and Hodgden went out in the order named. Stetson was out hit, out fielded have to hustle to hold its own. o- It is worthy of note that Rev.

The first morning lecture was on "The Art of Expression," the rest on Shakespeare and some of his great plays: "Hamlet and the problem of immortality," "Julius Cassar," and "Macbeth." In one hour Dr. King could give enough salient portions of a play, characterizations and comments, to present it completely to lesser literature students as well as to make a rare opportunity for those more familiar with the Poet. His versatility in transforming himself into almost any character is remarkable. In the last lecture he gave us "The Servant in the House" in mono- dramic form, wherein he showed that his field is not limited to Shakespeare. Dr. King proved that a smile is indeed akin to tears. He carried us to heights of intense emotion, passion, grief, he brought us back to joy and humor. He could picture life's evil, then show us the fairer light of good. His own pure-hearted, ideal-loving, unselfish souled self he gave us in these hours. His optimism and discernment were woven into every lecture. Dr. King has a generous sense of humor, he loves fun, he loves children, he loves life, and he has left behind him a better, more 0 righteous, lighter hearted DeLand which is his friend, wholly and individually. o Mr. Singleton of the Emory Alpha Tau Omega Chapter was a visitor of the Phi Beta Psi Club last Wednesday evening.
