DELAND, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 29, 1915. NUMBER 13. STETSON BEATS MICHIGAN FIVE SECOND TEAM LOSES TO ACADEMY BOYS IN A LIVELY CONTEST. LAW NOTES. Double Header at Cummings Gym Draws Good Crowd. Last Saturday night the Stetson Basketball team showed good form and easily vanquished the much vaunted Michiganders from the orange groves out in the direction of DeLeon. The big boys could not seem to keep up with the home lads and as a consequence a very one-sided score was the result. Last year the orange pickers put up a good article at the indoor sport but they seem to lack pep this season. The Stetson team showed more team work than they have had in evidence since the first game of the year. The passing was accurate and the entire contest well played by the wearers of the Green and White. The game between the Academy five and the second team was a more spirited contest than the big event. The boys were evenly matched and put up a very satisfactory exhibition. The younger Scovil looked particularly good at shooting baskets and Fenno was much in evidence also. We understand that in a week The Kent Club. The Committee for selecting the team to represent the Club in the Inter-Club Debates reported that they had selected Mess. Dineen, Haskins and Jennings for the team, with Messrs. Kanner and Dodge as alternates. The Club accepted the decision with approval. Mr. Tribble then was called to the floor and made quite an address, that he termed a 'Warning," which was based upon the I War and upon Germany's ambitions. Mr. Dodge took the chair for Parliamentary Practice and for ten full minutes the club had him settling disputes and putting motions. There being no further business the President closed the meeting. o Messrs. Leonardy, Kanner and Taylor went to Daytona Saturday Some one said that they were j looking for future locations. LEGAL FRAT GIVES SMOKER ENTERTAINS LAW DEPARTMENT AT STEEDS FOR GENERAL GOOD TIME. Speeches, Smokes, Eats and Drinks the Order of the Day. Pratt Phillips and Mr. Curran spent Sunday in St. Augustine j going by Palatka. Pratt says that 1 they ' 'shore did see some purty j girls." the Varsity team goes away on an extended trip. The exact itinerary has not been revealed, but we have been informed that a game will probably be played as far south as Miami, and another up at Jacksonville. This will be a long trip and we hope that the boys will bring home the bacon. It should be stated for the benefit of those who do not know, that Basketball at Stetson is worrying along without a coach and therefore credit is certainly due to the men who have spirit enough to get out and do the best that they can. Some day perhaps athletics at this institution will be placed on a secure basis. o VARSITY CLUB MEETING. ; Mcllvain and Tubby displayed some of their "Convince the Jury" ■ ability in convincing each other i that the Eskimo boy that paraded our streets Monday was in reality , a. Chiiiaman The recently organized Legal Fraternity entertained the men of the Law School at a smoker given at the home of Mr. Steed, last Monday night. By eight o'clock the spacious porch of the Steed residence was almost full to overflowing while the young lawyers, under the influence of Larangas, Fatimas and many other varieties, forgot dull care, corporation de facto and de jure. Every member of the Law School, save the four first rankers were present, the absent one being Dean Rasco and our three lady lawyers. David Sholtz was master of . ceremonies and right manfully did J David attack the Philistines. First to get every one in humor for that , which was to follow, he launched I his first surprise of the evening in the form of a quartette. Several ! numbers were rendered but "When good fellows get Together" received the most applause. Mr. Sholtz then gave an address VESPERS. At the Vesper service last Sunday Dr. Hulley negan a series of addresses on the subject of the Psalms. Doctor Hulley has written a book on this subject and the students are urged to be present at the lectures which will last several Sundays. The Choir sang Gounod's "Praise Ye the Father," Mr. Seagroat sang two solos, and Miss Bates one. The music was especially good at this service. -o SEAGROAT SINGS. CHRONICLE BY TOUCHSTONE THE BATTLE THAT WAS LOST FOR A HAIR PIN. Story of a Time When Women Shall Get the Rights Of Men. John G. Leonardy says, "That just because he has been to the Legislature, people think he can tear up the deadening with extemporaneous speeches, and that he thinks they ought to "Scratch him out." Mr. Herbert GLADSTONE Seagroat, whom many of the students in school will remember as the soloist and remarkable first tenor of the Stetson Glee Club of 1913 was in town last week and sang two solos at the Vesper service. In spite of his exaggerated affectation, his atrocious enunciation, and general bombastic pomposity, Birdseed has a voice and no mistake about it. As some one remarked, "If we could hear him on a Victrola how beautiful it would be." We recall with not a little amusement Herbert's escapades on the athletic field immediately after his arrival at Stetson. His melodious voice was raised in vigorous whistling for water, and other undignified stunts hailed his advent in college. On another occasion, we recall how Herbert was pre- yajledjupon to climb upon the shed Foreword—Some happy day, so the women say, they will have all the rights of the noble race of men. They want the right to vote, and they vaunt of what they will do. Let us see what they will do. If they want to be as men, give them the work and joys of men. Let us throw a side-light on the future, taking, for instance, the year 1924. Scene—The heat of battle; a skirmish line. An army of women is fighting for the flag; before them lies an army of men that has invaded the country. The girls are fighting valiantly; their flag floats proudly over the skirmish line. (By the way, the flag is no j longer the Stars and Stripes that j the men knew in the glorious days of yore. When the women came into power in 1917, they decided that the flag as it then stood did not fit the general color scheme of the army uniform, so they passed a law changing the color and design. Since then the nation's banner has been re-modeled Keep your eye on Moot Court— some interesting things are bound to be pulled off on day to be fixed by the Court. A large Colonial porch, a large hospitality, and a still larger spirit of welcome, together with the excellent refreshments served by fair damsels, were characteristics !of a recent "get together" that will not be forgotten. The meeting of the Varsity Club on Friday, Jan. 22, was an excellent one. An eloquent debate was given by Deane and H. Shelley for the affirmative and Tissot and Peterson for the negative upon the question, Resolved, That in the settlement of international disputes, law can and shou1d be substituted for armed force. Both sides of the debate were full of good points. The side of the negative was necessarily this, that war is beneficial. They upheld their contention with arguments and facts that the affirmative could not refute. The decision of the judges was unanimous in .favor of the negative. Roy Scoville gave the war news for the week in a neutral way, but he censored the pronunciation of some places, e. g., Soissons. Mr. Smith in his Critic's Report gave his views upon the questions that had been the topic of discussion during the meeting. O ■There are some men who are Uriable to tell even the truth without exaggeration. i When it comes to Toast Masters [ Dave Sholtz will probably get the cake. Koester, Junkin and Carver have been admitted to the Bar of John B. Stetson Practice Court, taking the oath from Mr. Justice Weir. o STETSON ENGINEERING SOCIETY. The society met January 19, in the Tech Room. A program consisting of Reviews of Highway Construction during 1914 was given. Several of the members had other engagements and therefore the meeting was not lengthy. The mext meeting will be held Tuesday, February 2, at 7. P. M., in the Surveying Class Room. We want every student interested in any branch of engineering to be there.

To Dr. Hulley was given the honor of making the first address. He responded in his usual brilliant manner giving a history of the trials, vicissitudes and triumphs of the law school from its beginning down to the present year. Then he spoke of the splendid work of those gone before, and assured the present students that he felt that they would add fresher and greener laurels to the Law Department of J. B. S. U. Mr. Stewart then spoke for the Seniors pleading for more and better spirit and through the medium of several good jokes proved what enthusiasm and spirit would do. Prof. Bauer talked of actual experiences of the court room work and the every day life of a practicing lawyer. Every point was driven home with some apt witticism leveled against "His Honor," the lawyers or the jury. Johnnie Leonardy represented the rat lawyers. He didn't say much but he laughed, and those who know Johnnie realize what his laugh is worth a book of philosophy and humor combined. The refreshments were served by Miss Josie Steed, Miss Ruby Jacksori, Miss Frances Gardner and Miss Alice Steed. Who would question the bill of fare when served by such dainty waitresses? Each fellow tried to excel the other in eating everything served and to attract the attention of those serving and hold it longer than any of his fellows. A success from start to finish.

Captain Daisy (exhorting, and spurring up the courage of the girls before the charge): "Well, my hearty girls, we have got to win the day. The general, in her tent and boudoir, has ordered a general advance on the foreign beasts. The 63rd battalion has laready swung round on the right. So get ready, girls, the command to advance will come immediately. "I will say this to those of you who are recruits and who have not been under fire before, be not afraid, for your uniforms fit you well and you look most bewitching in them. "Girls, you had better fix your hair and load your guns, for I see an orderly coming from the general's tent. Now, one final word to encourage you: Your guns will not hurt your shoulders like they did in yesterday's fighting; I have i ordered the commissariat to send up cartridges loaded with reduced charges. They will also cause less noise; my ears were almost split by the racket from yesterday's fire." Private Kitty speaks up, who has unsuccessfully been trying to load her gun for the last five minutes: "Miss Captain, I cannot load my gun. I must have forgotten how.'' Captain D -. "Corporal Hattie, load Private Kitty's gun i for her.'' Corporal Hattie goes to Private Kitty and together they fumble over the gun. After three minutes they have not yet succeeded in loading it. The orderly comes up, and says that the General orders an immediate charge. Captain.—"But we cannot advance just yet. Private Kitty has trouble in loading her gun."
