We would call your attention to the fact that football costs about three times as much as baseball. We would call your attention to. the fact that Dean Smith and Prof. Rasco had to go down into their pocket books to foot a deficit amounting to over $100.- 00. We would call your attention to the fact that this is the first report of its kind that has ever been published for the edification !of the students. Ninth Inning-Heyden started W?

Think always of the best, Think of the ones you love,not those that you detest; Think of your victories and not your failures here, The smile that pleased and not the hurtful sneer; The kindly word and not the harsh word spoken, The promise kept and not the promise beoken; The good that you have known and not the bad, The happy days that were not • the sad; Think of the rose and not the withered flower, The beauty of the rainbow and not the shower, . Think happy thoughts! o From the looks of that eye on Baskins the Basket Ball Team in order, as did Stetson, ^"d Inning—A two-bagger and surely met Southern in a real Continued on Page 3 contest On Wednesday night, February 11, the following men, Tribble, Turnquist, Jennings, Chas. Scovil, Roy Scovil, Peterson, Fenno, Bas- kin, Junkin and Paul Northrop, left DeLand for South Florida to play a series of basketball games. One team stopped off at Winter Haven while the other went on to Tampa. We finally reached Winter Haven after several hours of tiresome waiting at the A. C. L. Junction. The game was called at 2:30 P. M. and resulted in an over- whelmning defeat for Stetson. The game was played on an outside court of clay with a shallow sand covering, with an old ball which was greatly below the standard weight. It was impossible for the Stetson boys to stay on their feet on this court while the Winter Haven fellows maneuvered at will. The final score was 52—13. The positions played by the Stetson men were as follows: Roy Scovil—Left Forward. Turnquist—Right Forward. Peterson—Center. KMlcLi*. dcuvir—i^ei'u vjuaiu: Paul Northrop—Right Guard. Turnquist made three goals, Pet- reson 2, Scovil 1, one foul shot by Turnquist. This team left Winter Haven at 5 P. M.; reached Tampa at 8:30 and stayed there all night. The other team played Ruskin College also on Thursday afternoon. Ruskin College is located about 25 miles below Tampa on the Tampa Bay. The same conditions caused another defeat by the score of 41—7. In this game Fenno and Tribble played forwards, Jennings center, Baskin and Junkin guards. Tribble scored all the points for Stetson in this game. The Stetson team spent the night at Ruskin College, indulging in a chicken supper and later in the evening a reception in the President's home. The fellows took in the Gas- parilla carnaval at Tampa during Friday and at 4 P. M. left by auto for Southern College which is only 23 miles distant. We arrived there in time to take supper in their college dining room. The game was called at 4 P. M. It did not have near as much life and excitement to it as the game with Southern here in DeLand. The Stetson forwards had many chances to make goals but this I "mediocre basket shooting" did not get many points for the Green and White. Roy Scovil—Right Forward. Tribble—Left Forward. Jennings—Center. Chas. Scovil—Right Guard. Peterson—Junkin—Left Guard. Roy Scovil made 4 goals, Tribble 2 goals and Jennings two goals. The final score being 42—16. The Stetson team returned to Tampa immediately after the game and came back to DeLand on Saturday afternoon. While these defeats are over- at a palace in Orlando last week so Smitty informs us and the following episode occurred: As they entered the spacious hall, the butler extended his hand to and ^a^e ^y's coa^ and ^at' ^Y cor" dially shook the menial's hand and remarked to Smitty as they passed: "How did that man know me? o [ never saw Jiim before PHI KAPPA DELTA HOLDS BANQUET AN ANNUAL AFFAIR.

A more detailed account of the The annual banquet of the Phi Kappa Delta Fraternity was given on the evening of the eighteenth of this month. This is the seventeenth successive year the Phi Kappa Delta boys have given this banquet, and profiting by experience they have each year excelled their triumphs of the past. This year proved no exception to the rule. The banquet was held at the College Arms Hotel, Thursday evening of this week. At eight o'clock the Fraternity with its friends and guests, marched in to the dining hall, to the sweet strains rendered by the Hotel Orchestra. The tables were arranged' in the shape of a "T" and tastefully decorated. The place cards each contained a bouquet of ferns and violets, while the menu was arranged as a neat keep sake xxiio laying on the front page a group picture of the fraternity.

Mr. John Conrad, father of our beloved schoolmates, Austin U. Conrad and Miss Myrtle Conrad, quietly passed away on Feb. 16th. Mr. Conrad had been an invalid for years but his death came as a surprise to all. The sympathy of the entire student body is with those afflicted and who mourn. ——o HOUSE PARTY. Miss Florence Gregory, Mr. Connolly and Mr. Smythe were guests of Miss Helen Drew over the week end in Qrlando. They report a most enjoyable time, completely occupied with auto trips, boat trips, dances and the fair. o SHERMAN'S PARENTS VISIT UNIVERSITY. j toastmaster, introduced Mr. J.

Miss Eula Botts of the Pi Beta Phi Fraternity, Miss Emma Williams of the Delta Delta Delta Fraternity, Mr. Elwin Thomas of the Sigma Nu Fraternity, Mr. Claud O. Campbell of the Phi Beta Psi and Mr. William J. Steed of the Phi Delta Alpha Fraternity, responded for the guests of the evening. Mr. James P. Dodge on being introduced responded to the toast "Our Seniors." Dr. Edwin Earle Sparks, President of Pennsylvania State College, and the guest of honor, followed Mr. Dodge and made the principal address of the evening. Dr. Sparks address sparkled with wit and humor combined with grace and eloquence and was greatly appreciated by the banqueters. From start to finish the evening was a complete success, and reflected all honor on the fraternity giving it. The Phi Kappa Delta Fraternity has every reason to be proud of their banquet, for truly, if possible, it surpassed all former like occasions, and will surely rank as one of the big social events of the school year. The following out of town guests were present: Mr. S. C. Scogins, of Jacksonville, Fla., Mr. Samuel Pollock of Gainesville, Fla., Mr. Frank Cullen of Orlando, Fla., Mr. Neil Jones of Jacksonville, Fla., and Mr. Paul Selden of Palatka, Fla. O JUPE PLUVE HITS BASEBALL whelming it must be remembered that these boys are all working under the handicap of being without a coach. We hope that in some future year there will be a coach, even for men's basketball. Mr. and Mrs. Sherman visited their son Gardiner at the Sigma Nu House the latter part of last week. "Bar Harbor" gained a smile that won't come off. o REWARD OFFERED. For the Solving of This Puzzle. Why is it that Sherman has quit getting a shave twice a day and a hair cut thrice a week? Yea, verily, some of our Northern visitors are already leaving us. Rain and lots, of it has again postponed the Ormond game. The Athletic Association would have reaped money on this contest but such are the inscrutable and devious ways of destiny.
