At the porch steps Miss Mary Walters supplied each couple with an envelope of money, enough to buy theatre tickets and refreshments. The guests then passed by a ticket window where any seats from box seats to "peanut heaven" might be purchased. The first number on the program was the presentation of a birthday cake to Mrs. V. M. Fountain, in token of her birthday, as well as of her first year as a Tri-Delta patroness. The performance proper followed so fast and furious that it would be impossible to relate all in detail. The guests noted, however, that the Tri-Delta troupe was one of the best of the land. Between acts Guenevere Landis and Elizabeth Walters sold peanuts and popcorn. After the curtain fell the whole party adjourned to the dining room, • where they ^Pled "Tri-Delta Specials." , Among other guests of the evening were Judge C. D.

Continued on pagre 3 In a garrison finish the Outlaws landed a victory over the Stetson Hall Quintet, on Thursday, by the score of 23 to 21. |The outcome of the contest was not determined until the last few minutes of play, when the Outlaws forged to the front just as the referee's whistle blew for >e final count. The first half closed with Stetson leading 15 to 9; this was due to the good defensive work of the entire Stetson team, especially of Walker and Jack O'Connell, and Miller's good work; also the conspicuous foul tossing of Hon. The second half was replete with a varied assortment of good basketball which thrilled the spectators to the utmost. The Outlaws who had only shown mediocre form in the first half, came to life in the second half, and by a sensational spurt ultimately succeeded in overcoming their rivals, who had a fairly good lead. The Outlaws' work was a .^revelation in itself, for they showed a fighting spirit that is worthy of the best of teams playing this favorite indoor sport. The line-up and summary:— OUTLAWS STETSON HALL Gardner F Harkness Minter F Hon Rutherford C Miller Baskin G Walker Junkin G O'Connell Field Goals—Gardner 2, Minter 3, Rutherford 2, Harkness 1, Hon 3, Miller 3. Foul Goals—Gardner 2, Rutherford 7, Hon 7. Referee—William Hollander. Timekeeper—Fenno. Scorer—Pattillo. Time of Halves—20 minutes. Outlaws vs. Conrad Hall. In a game of basketball played on Saturday in Cummings Gym, featured by good passing and the extraordinary shooting of the "Bandits," the Conrad Hall team succumbed to the splendid attack of their worthy opponents to the tune of 43 to 29. The Outlaws went in the lead from the beginning and by playing snappy ball carried the score to 26 points as to 15 for the Conrad team, at the end of the first half. In the second half the teams played more evenly, and although unnecessary roughness was indulged in by several of the players, the game was a decided improvement over quite a few of the past performances. The Outlaws proved themselves a formidable aggregation, and each and every player deserves an abundance of credit for the way he handled himself in the game. Minter's shooting was phenomenal, and the work of Gardner at forward was on the sensational order. Rutherford did good work, but not the best he can do by VESPERS. A very impressive and beautiful vesper service was held on Sunday afternoon at the regular hour. The musical number by three members of the faculty so thoroughly enjoyed by all was indeed an evidence of unusual talent on the part of the musicians. A solo beautifully rendered by Mr. Reimer was a great addition to the sendee. The magnificent chrysanthemums on the rostrum, the gift of the Countess, added brightness and cheer to the atmosphere pervading the auditorium. Dr. Hulley's sermon, always anticipated with a great deal of pleasure, was by no means a departure from the high standard. The choir, in its beautiful chorus from the Messiah closed the splendid sendee just as the shades of night began to enfold the light of dav. " o OPENING GAME.

THE 1916 OSHIHIYI. The members of the 1916 Oshihiyi Board have commenced their work for this year's annual, and not only the members of the Oshihiyi Board but every Junior is determined to publish an annual not only better than those in past years, but one that is "different." College life will be given more attention than in past years, thus adding interest to the publication. The Editors and Business Managers have their office in the Phi Kappa Delta House, and the Art Editors have their office in the Art Room in Science Hall. It is the plan of the board to have the Oshihiyi published during the Winter Term. This will necessitate the taking of all pictures early. All classes and organizations have been asked to appoint committees to confer with the Oshihiyi Board with regard to their representation in the Annual. o NOTICE. Continued on page i In order that good cheering may be evidenced at our games, the following fellows have been selected as cheer leaders, i. e., Johnie Canon, Thomas Mcllvaine, Donald Conn and Ralph P. Brown. Cheering practices for the Stetson vs. Sanford game will be held on Monday and Tuesday. All the old fellows should be out to give their pep and knowledge of the yells to the "rats." Let everybody come to practices, and each and every one bring a friend. o • Invitations are out for the Annual Phi Kappa Delta Reception, Nov. 13. The final scene in the school tennis tournament was presented last Tuesday afternoon when Douglass Roseborough and Paul Northrop met in the finals, the winning of which would entitle the winner to the school championship in singles, at least until another tournament is arranged. From start to finish the tournament was a success, especially from the point of the spectators. Great credit for this is due to the managers, i. e., Ben Hulley and Paul Northrop, who so arranged the schedule that in nearly every case the respective opponents were very equally matched. Consequently the matches from start to finish held the interest of the student body. Gradually the weaker players were weeded out and in the semifinals Lofquist met Northrop while Brass met Roseborough. By _a^ very close margin Northrop and Roseborough weathered the storm only to meet a greater in the finals. Brilliant playing on the part of both contestants made this match unusually interesting to the large crowd of students and visitors who had gathered to witness it. Northrop succeeded in taking the first three sets, the score being 6-4, 6-3 and 6-3. The score, however, can not be taken as a criterion of the playing exhibited. Deuce games were numerous and every set could have been reversed by an unexpected rally at any time. Both men played hard, steady tennis at all times. Before the singles were finished a tournament of men's doubles had been arranged, to start immediately upon the completion of the singles. Play begun Thursday The teams entered so far are: Hon and Peek, Bates and Walker, Brass and Carr, Kennedy and Cook, Konig and Strawn, Dean and Gardner, Starbird and Emerson, Conrad and Haskins, W. McBride and H. Hon, L. Miller and F. McBride, R. Rasco and W. Rasco, Ziegler and Thompson, Gorman and Doss, Northrop and Roseborough, Hulley and Harkness, F. Northrop and B. Northrop, Sanderson and Sales, and G. Rasco and T. Hon. With this field to pick from many warm contests are assured. Dr. Hulley and Prof. Blocker have issued a challenge to the winning team in doubles. <0 Mrs. A. Walker of Tampa, Fla., was a visitor at the University recently, to see her popular young son, Hewett. We look fonvard with pleasure to more visits from Mrs. Walker during the year.
