Three Stetson students were in a rather serious automobile accident while journeying homeward last week end. Two are back in school and one, unless unexpected complications set in, will be back sometime during the week. Mr. Roy Starbird was driving the car and among other occupants were Miss Mabel Eldridge and Mr. Gordon Doss. While speeding along between Sanford and Orlando one of the valves in the machine refused to work, causing a back explosion through the carburetor, which set the machine on fire. Only prompt action on the part of the erst-while occupants averted a more serious accident. All save Miss Eldridge were merely shaken up a bit. Mr. Doss was the first to go to her assistance and found her back of the car, 1 in the road unconscious. In the meantime others of the party had put out the fire and the car was again in running order. Miss Eldredge was placed in the car and was taken to Apopka and a physician hastily summoned. It was found that she had sustained injuries in the head, side and back. Nothing definite could be ascertained at that time, but the only danger to be feared, according to the doctor, was of an internal nature. As we go to press no defi nite Knowledge of Miss Eldredge's condition could be obtained. The entire student body is eagerly watching for her return. SS EUSOPHIAN LITERARY CIETY.

On Monday, October 10, the first meeting was held and after that daily practices have been taking place. There are on an average about twenty- five fellows out every day for practice, and competition for the places on the Varsity Five is keen. Coach Hollander has devided the squad into several teams, designating them by names of University buildings, such as Chaudoin Hall, Stetson Hall, etc. This is a most excellent plan and gives every fellow a fair chance. Saturday evening at 7 P. M. the first game of a series between these teams began. In this game Chaudoin Hall was opposed by Stetson Hall team. The game was excellent and greatly enjoyed by those present. The presence of the Chaudoinites who cheered for their team spurred the players to greater efforts. It is hoped that they will be present at all contests. The line-up was as follows: CHAUDO.X HALL STETSOX HALL Rutherford C Minter Baskin...... G Fi Junkin G O'Connel Miller F Peterson Gardner F...

The debate was decided in favor of the affirmative, but both sides were well defended. Mr. Gum gave a humorous reading which was well taken, after which Mr. Donovan gave a very interesting talk on the compilation of the American Dictionary. Mr. Donovan's intimate connection with some of the leading publishing houses of the United States enabled him to give the Club some very valuable and interesting knowledge of his subject- After hearing the Critic's report the Club adjourned. o Charles Pratt Phillips, '15, is in the law office of Julian Calhoun of Palatka.
