Two more feathers were placed in the cap of the Stetson College Girls' Basket Ball Team last Saturday when they met and defeated the teams of LTmatilla and Eustis respectively. Two Auto loads of plavers, under the direction of Miss Denny and Manager Bryan Jennings left early Saturday afternoon for Umatilla. Among those making the trip were the Misses Smith, Elliott, Bates, Kruse, R. Haynes, D. Haynes, Allbritton, Chase and Woodall. After a very pleasant journey thev arrived at Umatilla, and went immediately to the Public School grounds, where the outdoor court was located. The Umatilla girls were completely outmatched, both in team-work and in the shooting of baskets, but put up a plucky fight nevertheless. The final score was 14 to 6. Both Sara Smith and Willetta Elliott played and exceptionally good game, making 8 and 6 points respectively. The line-up was as follows : _ Stetson. Forward—Smith. Forward—Elliott, Center—Kruse. Center—Bates. Guard—R. Haynes. Guard—Allbritton. Substitutions D. Haynes for R. Haynes and Woodall for AHbritton. Umatilla. Forward—T. Dent Forward—Williams, Center—Verne. Center—Crow. Guard—Collins. Guard—N. Dent. Field Goals—Smith 3, Elliott 1. Foul Goals—Smith 2, Elliott 4, F. Dent 3, Williams 3. After partaking of a very nice dinner at the Buenna Vista 'Hotel, the team set out for Eustis the scene of the second conquest. Here a much more spirited game took place, one which was far more bitterly contested than the score B 21 to 3 would lead one to believe. The Eustis girls were all Nuch smaller, and this being their fet match game of the year, they lacked the team-work essential to bring victory to their camp. Excitement ran high, however, in feet so high at one instance, that a seat on which a hundred people Jere seated crashed to the floor. ^° one was injured, however, or if they were, they were too excited hatching the game to notice it. The line-up: Stetson. Forward--Sara Chase. Forward—W. Elliott. Center—M. Bates. Center—Kruse. Guard-Allbritton. Guard-R. Haynes. Eustis. Forward—DeLancy. ^onvard-Schmidt. Unter-Conklin. Center-Johnston. Address by Attorney Haskins. The speakers spoke of the desirability of a better and a larger Club. They also advanced ideas as to how these aims might be accomplished. After Parliamentary Reading and Discussions, the Club adjourned. Many Old Stars Back to Build Upon and an Abundance of New Material to Select From. VESPERS. _- o VARSITY CLUB. The Varsity Club held its first I meeting of the new year Friday evening at the usual hour. The program was entirely extemporaneous but was of a high grade, nevertheless. The program was rendered as follows. War Events—Roy Amidon. Recitation—William Emerson. Parliamentary Practice—T Deane. Sunday afternoon at 2:30 the chimes pealed forth the New Year's greetings and invitations to Vespers. A large audience was present to hear Dr. Hulley give another of his excellent sermons. The music by Mrs. Varn, Miss Ford and Miss Baker, was very i beautiful. The solo by Prof. Gue- I vchenian and the selection rendered by the choir was also enjoyed. Dr. Hulley spoke on "Say to Israel that they go Foward." He especially applied it to the students and the preparation for their life- work. He emphasized the importance of spending much time for preparation This sermon DAYTONA HUMBLED BY ACADEMY ACADEMY TEAM STARTS NEW YEAR OFF IN GOOD STYLE. The national pastime is here once again.

The game was a nip and tuck affair, and only by a garrison finish, in which the masterly playing of the Stetson Crew was much in evidence, did the Academy conquer the Daytonians. The game was of such a nature that when the whistle blew for the final count the score stood 39 all, which necessitated an extra period of 5 minutes in which to determine the victors. In this space of time the Green and White gathered 5 points and the Blue and White scored not a one, making the final score 44 to 39. Stetson's work was not up to form and this in all probability was due to the closeness of the game. They did noticeably well after having a rather strenuous vacation, and no basket ball to think about.

The prospects are bright for a successful year's work under I the management of the following officers who addressed the Society: Mr. Carlisle Prather, President. Mr. Harold Carr, Vice-President. Miss Catherine Witty, Secretary. Mr. Wendell Rasco, Treasure. Mr. Earoll Roebuck and Miss Anito Ricon, Program Managers. Mr. Daniel Liecher, Junior Critic. Mr. Earl Shuflin, Reporter. Together with the addresses made j by the above officers the program included: A Reading by Mr. Hul- The first games of the season are scheduled for Jan. 21st and 22nd with Kentucky Military Institute. It will be remembered that last year we opened the season with the same school and the result was two tie games to the tune of 3-3 and 4-4. The Kentucky boys always turn out a good prep- school team, and the opening games are usually tightly contested. From all indications the schedule will be a good one. Nearly all the schools of the state will be met and at least a few out of state teams. There will be an abun for Stetson. The Collegiate on behalf of the student body desires to wish the happy couple long and prosperous lives. o SIGMA NU DANCE.

Miller, Rutherford and Minter did good work and deserve much credit for their efforts, especially was this the case of Minter whose work thruout the game was good, and in the last eight minutes of battle he played sensational ball. Rutherford's work was not up to his former performances; but Miller was all over the floor. W. Sullivan, Green and Branch played a great game for the High School lads. Sullivan made some of the most sensational shots that have ever been made on the Daytona floor. The score at end of the first half was 23-21 in Stetson's favor. The second half found Daytona more aggressive and they tied the score. At this stage Sullivan broke loose and made a basket which put the Blue and White in the lead; Branch followed with a couple of beautiful shots, which gave them a seemingly safe margin.

Stetson took time out and after consuming their [ allotted time of two minutes, they re-entered the game with determination and vigor to overcome their opponents' lead, and here is where the Big Green Team showed their true form. They simply walked away from the Daytonians. Just as the whistle blew for the final count the score was tied 39 all.
