Our girls played a good game thruout and the East Coast damsels had very little chance to see a basket. In fact they threw but one basket during the entire contest. Their other points were on fouls. And these were far too frequent on both sides. At the end of the first half the score was 14—3. Palm Beach in the second half managed to secure two more points to Stetson ten and the game was over.

Miss Baker struck the chords of Lemmens March Pontificale and to the strains of this splendid music, Dr. Farriss, chairman of the exercises, Dr. Edwin Earl Sparks, President of the Pennsylvania State College, principal speaker for the occasion, President Hulley, Dr. Colebrook and Dr. Carnine led the procession which entered the central chapel doors. Law and Liberal Art Sen- iiors and the faculty in academic regalia followed, occupying the reserved seats in front of the rostrum.

Boys Game. The boys game was a little more even than the girls although Stetson did run up a bigger score. Hodgd and that served to make a dif-i ference. If he had been on the' last trip south, we might have had better luck there, too. After all, in playing these high schools there is not a thing to gain and a whole lot to lose. Dr. Sparks to the contrary notwithstanding. Perhaps in a few years m°re, a college schedule can be arranged. The line-up was as follows:— ^COviJ f Green Jnbble f Gardiner {ennings c Branch ^ns g Drake Hod2den g Milligan C. Scovil for Baskin; Turnquist for R. Scovil.

Dr. Cole- brook invoked divine blessing. The Vesper Choir sang the "Boola Song" and the "Soldiers' Chorus" from Faust. Then Hon. Silas B. Wright made an address of welcome after which the Girls' Glee Club gave that beautiful old Spanish serenade, "In Old Madrid," by Trotere. Dr. Sparks won the attention and interest of everyone. In his introductory words he said he was there to speak to his real friends, the undergraduates. And when he had finished his address there was not an undergraduate— indeed, not an individual in his audience who did not feel grateful to him with the gratitude of a real friend. His subject: "The Simple Virtues," with wit, optimism, kindliness, fun at times which his personality radiated, he pointed out with a clearness all could grasp, the inestimable value of the simple Virtues. Putting aside all prejudices and artificiality, he began at the very rock bottom of those things on which are builded successful life. Three fundamental virtues were discussed: Service, Toil, Obedience. He showed how serving is necessary in any walk of life. The student must become an apprentice, he must be willing to give the full number of preparation years, so that in business he can I serve both his employer and employee. A quotation from President Wilson was to the point: "No one who has ever seen a Sophomore would ever think of giving him a college degree." In speaking of toil, Dr. Sparks said that boys and girls are being educated not to avoid a life oi work; they are investments. Breakdowns in students' health are caused not by over study but by over pickle and tobacco. College ath- On February 16, Jennings, Turnquist, Tribble, the Scovil brothers, Baskin, Fenno, Peterson, Hodgden and Hunter went on a basketball trip to the metropolis of Florida. We reached Jacksonville at 6:30 p. m. and had a light supper before the game which was called at 8:30 p. m. Most of the fellows were quartered in the Y. M. 1 C. A. building while the remainder stayed with our manager at his home. Stetson played the Y. M. C. A. team the first night on their floor. The game was fast and exciting even if the huge score piled up against Stetson would seem to indicate otherwise. Jennings was the star for Stetson, making half of the points. The final score was 50—16 in favor of the Y. M. C. A. For Stetson the following men played: Turnquist—Right Forward. Scovil and Tribble—Left Forward. Jennings—Center. < Hodgden—Right Guard. C. Scovil—Left Guard. On Wednesday night, on the same floor, Stetson played Duval High School. This game was similar to the Stetson-Southern game played in DeLand about a month ago. It was exciting from beginning to end. The Stetson team showed much improvement in team work since the game with Duval in DeLand. Stetson led the score in the last half but in thejast few^ minutes lost it. Hodgden led his team mates in making goals, but still each on the team played well. Fenno played an excellent game at guard. In this game:— Hodgden—Left Forward. Turnquist—Right Forward. Jennings—Center. Fenno—Right Guard. Chas. Scovil—Left Guard.

I. at Eau Gallie Monday afternoon and obtained a 7—4 decision. Inasmuch as both the games here last week were ties this gives the series to Stetson. In the first inning, our boys scored just as they did in both the games here. In the fifth they slammed Ledbetter's curves to all corners of the lot and garnered two more tallies. In the sixth they became vicious and maltreated Mr. L. to the extent of counting three times, sewing up the game. To make it good measure, they added one more in the seventh. Haskins pitched his first game for Stetson and held the enemy down well. He was touched up rather heavily in the sixth when K. M. I. lads secured four runs from his offerings. He struck out ten men. Ledbetter sent fourteen by the same route. The team seems to have recovered their batting lamps and pounded out a total of ten hits. This good record was marred by three r>T-«*r>T,c ITVTtTOT'pr The line-up for the game was:— Right Field—Beaulieu. Third Base—Bradley. Catcher—Lourcey. Shortstop—Hood. Left Field—Gardiner.

He urged play for play's sake, not merely to defeat some one. Then the need for obedience literally as a thing of habit was pointed out. In summarizing his talk Dr. Sparks said that education without character development is miscalled education. The choir sang the jolly students' song, "Estudiantina," after which Dr. Hulley made the Pre- earned a shut-out victory. Stetson continued their batting streak and found six hits which were stretched into two runs. Enough to sew up the game. The game was scoreless until the eighth inning, when Bill Lourcey led off with a two-bagger and scored on Gardiner's single. Gardiner scored on singles by Merritt and Kanner. Gardiner and Merritt were the fielding stars for Stetson. Gross struck out 11 men and Rico for Ft. Pierce struck out 15. o THIRD GAME.

Our boys came back in the eighth, but the rally failed with but one score, when Lourcey fanned. Stetson piled up nine hits in this game, Hodgden, Bradley and Gardiner each getting two, and Continued on Page 3
