DELAND, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, MARCH 10, 1916. NUMBER 21 VARSITY WINS FROMKEEWATIN GAMES PLAYED ON COLD, WINDY DAYS.—LOOSELY CONTESTED. Keewatin Team Off Color.—Their Pitcher Given No Encouragement By His Teammates. VARSITY CLUB. The games played in St. Augustine against our old rival Keewatin Were comedies of errors. Neither side was free from fault in this respect, although in truth it must be said that Keewatin was the greater offender. Friday's game was played in very unfavorable circumstances, and it would have been impossible for either team to have appeared to advantage. It was the most peculiar game Stetson has engaged in for several years. The final score was 27 to 7 in favor of Stetson. The Keewatin twirler pitched excellent ball but his team mates booted them at every chance until it seemed as tho they were even going out of their way to error. This was the opening game of the season for the Keetwatin squad and they were very far from being in the best of form. Palmer pitched for Stetson and performed in his usual creditable manner. He kept the Keewatin hits well scattered and at the same time never exerted himself at any stage of the game. The second game likewise resulted in a Stetson victory by a large, but not quite, so one-sided score. Saturday's score was 16 to 12. Every one was stinging the pill at a lively clip, nor was the game entirely free from errors, coupled with a boner or two by both sides. The Keewatin boys play here next week and the Stetson squad is expecting to meet a much strengthened club. Bout well, Steele McCauley and Guyon are about as fast as the average "busher" and the others of the squad are not lacking in ability. There is no use of our deluding ourselves into thinking Keewatin has no creditable ball club—for they have. In these games they were away off color and we may rest assured they will do their best to stage a "come-back" stunt on our diamond.

This partnership now possesses a very lucrative practice in Jacksonville. David Sholtz, Law '15, is running for the State Legislature. Every cog in the Varsity machine was working fine Monday and Tuesday and consequentally Rollins suffered defeat on both days. The first game was really a pitchers duel between Palmer and Barze. Each team earned but one talley, but Barze failed to receive the support extended to Palmer by the locals. Both pitchers worked brilliantly but Barze, if there was any choice, would probably deserve honors. The second game was not so interesting. Barstow pitched excellent ball and succeeded in blanketing the visitors, while his team mates were piling up eight runs. Stubbs did not seem to have anything on the ball but our fellows were a long time solving his delivery at that. He was hit by a pitched ball and weakened visibly in the latter portion of the game. Rodenbaugh pitched the last inning for the visitors and retired the Varsity Without p **>11y GAME BY INNINGS. First Inning. Musselwhite grounded out to right field. Rodenbaugh flew out to left field.

STETSON ACADEMY WINS DEBATE FOR SECOND CONSECUTIVE TIME FROM SANFORD HIGH. Debaters All Did Well and Showed Careful Preparation.—Hotly Contested At All Stages. Friday, March 3rd, at 8:00 P. M., the annual interscholastic debate took place in the University Auditorium between the Sanford High School and the Stetson Literary Society. In many ways our academy literary society deserves a great deal of praise. They are really an example to the older societies because of their energy and enthuisam. Promply at 8:00 o'clock, following the stir and buzz of the audience, the evening's entertainment began with an organ solo played by Miss Hattie Miller. The debaters filed in accompanied by Profs. Baldwin and Prof. Ezell of the Sanford High School. Prof. Baldwin announced as judges Mr. Sheppard, Supt. Public Instruction Volusia County; Judge Herring of Sanford, and Prof. Wheatley of Cressent City High School, and referred us to the program for the subject for debate which was "Resolved, That it is Unnecessary for the Present Congress to Increase the Facilities for National Preparedness." For Sanford Mr. Hume Rumph, Miss Lucile Rines, and Miss Marian Gove spoke in the affirmative. For Stetson Literary Society, Mr. Earl Shuflin, Miss Francis Field and Mr. Clyatt Lewis replied in the negative. Following the fifteen minute speeches, Mr. Rumph of Sanford had an eight minute rebuttal and a similar opportunity was accorded Mr. Shuflin of Stetson. Mr. Rumph in his first speech gave us an outline of our nation's resources, principally our navy as compared to that of other nations, and by this comparison sought to show no need for further preparedness. Mr. Shuflin in his reply gave one of his best points in a comparison of the respective ranges of navy guns of our nation and those of the English and German navies; their guns practically doubling ours in range. Miss Rines attacked the false philosophy of the waring nations namely that might makes right and further said that this policy was the policy of the judges and the preparedness advocates. Miss Field for the negative ably defended the policies of President Wilson as contrasted with Mr. Bryan. Miss Gove in an earnest speech brought to our attention the horrors of war, and beautifully spoke on the teachings of the lowly Nazerine. Mr. Lewis discussed the responsibility of our nation to its citizens and to our neighboring nations of this hemisphere as set forth by the Monroe Doctrine. Mr. Rumph gave a very good rebuttal, followed by our speaker Mr. Earl Shuflin, who had the question well in hand and delivered a number of telling blows against the affirmative's arguments. While the judges were preparing their discussion Miss Ford rendered an artistic selection on the piano. Prof. Baldwin announced the de- cission of the judges in favor of Continued on page 3
