DELAND, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1915. NUMBER 15 STETSON ACADS 40 ST. AUGUSTINE 8 GIRLS FROM OUR ACADEMY OVERWHELM DAMSELS FROM YE ANCIENT CITY. RAIN STOPS GAME. Game Slow and Uninteresting Thruout—Large Crowd. The Ormond baseball team came over last Friday afternoon to engage our boys in a gentle game of baseball, but Jupe Pluve interfered to such an extent that the game was called off. o STETSON GETS GOLF LINKS At the Cummings Gymnasium last Saturday evening, the girls of the Stetson Academy had no| difficulty in disposing of the Basketball team from St. Augustine. Trie East Coast girls were helpless before our players and the score mounted sky high by the close of the contest. Wiletta Elliott and Sarah Smith had no one to bother them most of the time and when one of the St. Augustine ladies did happen to be around no appreciable difference was to be noted. Their center was about the only girl who was able to hold her own. The score at the close of the first half was 25—3. Then Coach Weir sent in Irene Smith and Olive Kruse and these worked with such, effect that by the close of the game ' the score stood 40—8. I Helen Drew took Irene Smith's I place at guard near the close of the game. i The St. Augustine team played a clean game and were worthy opponents despite the odds against them.

Guards—Woodall and Haynes. Center—Turnquist. Smith for Woodall; Kruse for Haynes; Drew for Smith. O NEW LIBRARY RULES At the immediate instigation of Griff Key an eight hole golf course has been properly installed on the large vacant lot just east of Conrad Hall. The usual number of balls have been lost and the venture is assured a success. o VARSITY CLUB. DEAN SMITH INTERVIEWED STATEMENT OF THE PRESENT ATHLETIC SITUATION BY DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS. SIGMA NU ENTERTAINS ALL OTHER GREEKS A Needed Explanation to the Students. the Varsity rendered was The program of Club last Friday as follows:— War Notes—R. D. Peterson. Paper—R. J. Longstreet. Debate—Bates and Hulley. o VARSITY CLUB CHALLENGES KENT CLUB TO DEBATE. The Varsity Club has challenged the Kent Club of the Law school to debate on the question: "Resolved, That the Colombian Treaty Was Just to All Nations Concerned." The Kent Club has the choice of sides. Last year the Kent Club challenged the Varsity Club and then won the debate. Shall history repeat itself. VESPERS. Dr. Hulley continued his lectures on the Pslams, and spoke to a huge crowd. The popularity of these afternoon services in the auditorium is a well attested fact. Miss Bates and Professor Guevchenian sang solos and the choir gave two beautiful numbers. The Girls Glee Club made its first appearance of a public nature and pleased all. o Y. M. C. A. QUARTET. A conspiracy has been entered into by those in authority to make us flunk. No more is in-{ tellectual acumen and mental per-) spicuity to be engendered at this1, institution of learning. In other words, a fellow cannot have sixteen books out at one time any more. This is an attack upon personal freedom. A deplorably presumptous attempt to deprive us of our time honored rights. Let us vindicate ourselves against the subtleties of calumniators who would represent that we are not to be trusted with a complete library. Let us ostentatiously display a force of understanding, and bravely rebuke that fastidious temerity which would thwart our innocent literary pleasures. o CAMPUS IMPROVEMENTS The Y. M. C. A. Quartet went out to the Convict Camp on the Daytona road last Sunday afternoon, and a short service was given, for the benefit of the prisoners there. Those unfortunate men show a deep appreciation of this work of the Y. M. C. A. and it is to be hoped that some way will be found to continue it. Mr. E. L. Hon has kindly given the services of his car on two occasions to carry the boys out there. Surely there is some other man in DeLand who can do as much and make it possible for the services to be held every week. Last Spring athletics at Stetson were turned over by the administration to a committee which was to have absolute direction of athletics and further was to finance them, not expecting any assistance whatever from the college as such. Dean Smith, as chairman of this committee assumed the financial responsibility himself and footed personally the deficit resulting from our football season which amounts to something like $125. When baseball was begun the Dean stated that a cash sum of $125 must be raised, to finance the season as he had done all that he could. The students agreed to raise that sum before starting the season. Inasmuch as he was responsible for any bills incurred Dean Smith rightfully insisted that all schedules must be submitted to him for ratification. Further he demanded that as the money would have to come out of his pocket, that all bills must be O. K.'d by him •before ~ptritir The smoker given by the local Sigs to the Frat men of Stetson was a huge success in every way. Starting at 8:30 it continued into the wee small hours. After every one had smoked and gotten acquainted they gathered in the Trophic Room for a little informal banquet. Haskins as toastmaster welcomed one and all in the name of the Chapter, and after a little talk started things rolling by calling on several for impromptu speeches. Jokes and reminiscences from such speakers as Tribble, Sholtz and Long- street filled the greater part of the evening. After smoking, eating, talking and singing to everybodies heart's content, the gathering dispersed for study hour. o CONCERT —BY— THE EUPHONY QUARTETTE STETSON LOSES TO ORMOND LEAGUERS SLOW GROUNDS HANDICAP VARSITY BUT SCRAPPY GAME RESULTED. STETSON SCORED IN FIRST. Varsity Started Things in the First Inning When Beaulieu, the First Man Up, Walked and Completed the Circuit. Through some misunderstanding, these agreements were not entirely lived up to by the Baseball Association. And therefore Dean Smith decided that until they were observed that no further negotiations could be made Some of the students have accused the Dean of trying to thwart baseball here and of setting up a dictatorship. This is absolutely untrue. Dean Smith is responsible for the debts of baseball. And he has an unqualified right to see that matters are carried on in a way that will not endanger his bank account any fur-J 6 Operetta—"Chin Chin" Helen Kalmbach—Solo Violin.

Rehfeld assuring any one who has the1 idea that he is trying to buck. 8 the students, that he is their best friend and that without him there would not have been any athletics here this year at all. If we will turn the whole matter over to his judgment the wisest thing will be done and we can all be sure of a square deal all around. The Collegiate stands for Dean Smith—first, last, and all the time. We regret that in our last issue one or two unwise statements were made. They were published without a full understanding of Violin a Serenata Moszkowski b Spring Song Mendelssohn Piano and Organ 9 Calm as the Night Bohm 'Cello. 10 Home Sweet Home the World Over Lampe o K.

Any unfavorable j of our friends were not present Some one has asked for the whereabouts of that gang of songsters that used to disturb the quiet study hours of Chaudoin during the fall term. Perhaps they will return with the spring. impression that they might have made is sincerely regretted. Let's stand by the Dean and see this thing thru to the finish. o CHECKER TOURNAMENT. The bold challenge of one, Rudolf Peterson, to the effect that he would take on any one in this university who was under the impression he could play checkers was answered by Anthony Bates. With the result that Tony got skinned, so we are informed. Notice is hereby given that the names of all who are not on the athletic field tomorrow will be published in our next issue unless an excellent and satisfactory excuse is sent to the editor. If you have any spirit here is the chance to show it. -o The smiling face of Mr. Claud Varn was to be seen around the Law Library for a few days this week. Claud is the same old boy of last year, and is always ready to render any assistance that he may. Wednesday the Stetson team journeyed over to Ormond via. auto and played the fast Ormond aggregation, the game resulting in a victory for the leaguers by the tune of 4 to 1. Stetson's lone tally came in the first inning. Beaulieu, the first man up, walked. Lourcey hit to sceond, but was safe on a wild peg to first, while Beaulieu went to third. Another wild heave on the part of the Ormond twirler and the first run of the game was registered. Lourcey deserved a run in this inning and but for poor coaching would have made it. However, a neat throw from center just barely did catch him. The first few innings were fast I and exciting, both teams fielding ' beautifully, but hits were missing when hits meant runs. Ormond tied the score in the fourth and got two more in the sixth and one j in the eighth. Fast work in field- I ing kept the score down. ""T3ood 'started'lT^Dniliarit double play with the bases full and only one down. Denny laid down a slow grounder, just out of the pitcher's reach and Hood playing close in scooped it up, threw to Lourcey, who pegged to Hodgden. It was the prettiest play of the game. Several times it looked as though Stetson would tie the score, but the Ormond team each time settled down to hard work and kept their heads. Hood, by getting two hits out of four chances, led the batting, while Merritt and Beaulieu, by getting one safety, out of three chances, stood second. The entire team fielded prettily. The grounds were in bad shape, not even being level and this fact gave Ormond at least one of her runs. Murray, of Buffalo, pitched for Ormond and Archer played first. These were the only stars of the first magnitude, but as a team the Ormond crowd seem to be better balanced than in former years. Stetson lined up as follows:— Lourcey, catcher. Thomas, P. Hodgden, 1 B Kannar, 2 B Bradley, 3 B Hood, S.S. Beaulieu, L. F. Merritt, C. F. Gardiner, R. F. Judging by the showing made against this team our fellows should be able to meet any school in the State with credit. Coach Lourcey seems pleased and confident of a successful season. o A certain young man was surprised that he was not before the "Committee" this week, as he says he always meets with them when he is in town.
