This is a laudable work and was appreciated by the men in stripes. o A. C. L. WRECK.

The Freshies arose in the wee small hours and sending Fenno up the flag pole on the athletic field, they commissioned him to securely tie their brilliant colors at an elevation deemed1 sufficient to defy the upperclassmen. In j the course of his descent, Fresh - , man Fenno liberally applied axle grease to the pole thus figuring that the ascent of any belligerent would thereby be rendered practically an impossibility. The disastrous wreck on the main line at DeLand Junction drew very many of the university students on last Sunday morning. The work of the wrecking gang in clearing the debris was particularly interesting to the tech men. o DEAN CARSON Dean Carson, our popular historical lecturer, spent the weekend in Jacksonville attending a Masonic Convention there.

The fast and snappy team representing the Palatka High School came to DeLand to play our girls last Saturday and in common with all others who come here they returned home with the sting of defeat rankling in their bosoms. The line-up as selected by Coach Weir was as follows:— Forwards—Hulley and Smith. Guards—Elliott and Woodall. Centers—Haynes and Turnquist. The game was fast from the start and our girls had their hands full to hold their own for a few minutes. Then they got things working smoothly and the old machine moving. The scores began to come and by the end of the first half the game was easily settled. However, the visitors did not lose their spirit and were found fighting as hard at the close as at the beginning. The game was marked by a number of fouls and a little wrangling among the officious officials, but beyond that everything went off as per schedule and in satisfactory fashion. It should be said that the Pa- March 12-13—Brooklyn in Daytona. March 19-20—Southerland in this institution and undoubtedly the innovation will be a huge success.

The sheriff noting the absence of the Judge assumed entire control of the proceedings and promptly dismissed the meeting. The exact whereabouts of the Judge has not been made known as yet, so we conclude that he was lost.

(or doves) to the Innocent pedal extremities of which were attached the Freshman colors of red and white. This gentle reminder put the Sophs wise to what was doing and in much desperation did they rush frantically about the campus searching for some symptoms of a Freshman. They found them forty strong at the gym playing basketball, but keeping a weather eye out for danger. It was raining cats and dogs and in dismal and dripping hordes the two classes stood about trying to start something, but the one was afraid and the other dassent. Finally the superior intelligence of the Sophomore evidenced itself. They procured Tac Bradley who fastened a pair of climbers to his legs and taking the crowd by surprise, this Gallahad rushed up the pole very successfully and tore the offending rag from its place of publicity. This was all they could do, however, for there were two or more Freshies to every Sophomore, and they soon overpowered General Brown and his valiant allies and recovered the coveted bit of cloth. Credit is due the Sophomores for taking the bunting down in the face of such difficulties and for the stiff fight which they put up to retain it. Praise is likewise due to the ubiquitous Freshmen for their cleverness and the re-j covery of their banner which is more than some other classes can say. Also the banner remained in the air until noon. o Rader Merritt has been ailing for the past several days. His many friends have doubtless missed his cheerful countenance from the Campus.

Also the nervous strain of passing the scene of the wreck, with its dead cows and dying fireman had a bad effect upom them. Considering these facts we feel it incumbent upon us to state that Palatka played an exceptionally fine game, The Varsity Club met in regular | and the score of 26—5 is no dis- session last Saturday night.

The members of the Stetson Literary Society enjoyed a feast after the regular program last week. We are not advised as to the menu so are unable to divulge any particulars. It would seem that the Collegiate staff might have been invited. o MR HUNTER LECTURES. The Rev. Dr. Spillman of the Baptist Church delivered three lectures to the students this week on the subject of Sunday School work in the United States. o GREEN ROOM CLUB. Mr. Bill Hunter asked the privilege from Dean Carson of lecturing before the History Class on the interesting and versatile subject of Pope Leo the Tenth. This event will occur on Thursday, January 28, at 11:15 in the History lecture room in Science Hall.j The entire student body is earnestly requested to be present at this event of forensic oratory on the papal reprobate. The Green Room Club has commenced preparations for a play to be given later in the year. Try-outs for the various parts were held this week. The cast which is selected will be announced later. o Griff Key maintains that the spirit of '61 is still rife in the land.
