DELAND, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, DECMBER 1, 1916. NUMBER 8 SOU THERN VAN Q U STETSON DEFEATS SOUTHERN AT THEIR OWN GAME SCORE—8-6. Bailey and Gee Stars In The Field of Action. What appeared to be the most thrilling foot ball battle ever staged in the State of Florida, was played on Plant Field Thanksgiving Day, when the Big Green and White- team met and conquered the Southern aggregation, by a score of 8 to 6. The game was the most interesting that has been afforded to the people of Tampa and nearby towns. In fact, people from all over the State made it their business to attend this clash. The enthusiasm that was displayed by the Stetsonians was beyond reproach. A band accompanied the squad and the "pepper" they installed in the men was very evident. The team as a whole fought like "tigers" and as far as quitting, they did not know the meaning of the word. Every man on the team gave the best that was in him, and that is all that could have been asked. Their work was a credit to the school in every possible way. They held their own from the beginning to the end. Barring some rough work, which, as a matter of fact, was begun by the Southern crew, the game brought out some good work, which gave the enthusiasts something to talk about in the future. The Green and White should have made no less than 20 points, but due to the several fumbles, and other reasons that are not worthy of discussing, she was prevented from running up a larger score. The wind also proved costly. Bailey, the most sensational player that ever donned a Stetson uniform, attempted four field goals, one of which was blocked, and the other three fell shy of the mark; this being due to the severity of the wind which carried the ball out of its course. With any luck at all our most honorable Glen Bailey would have registered three field goals. But at that we can not dwell on such a supposition and are willing to let the matter rest as the score indicates. Capt. Gee played one of the best games that the writer ever gazed upon, and his work will be long remembered by those who witnessed the game. His work in this big game, as well as all season, stamp him as the best of tackles. His tackling was sure, his blocking Perfect, and his offensive strength splendid. As a leader, he instills the men with the fighting spirit that is a credit to any team. All in all we take our hats off to Gee tor the valiant services rendered to his team and to his school. Another man who created a sensation in Tampa was a young man that plays a half back; he ls exceptionally fast, has a good head, a good toe, good disposi- tlQn, and is as slippery as an eel— and this man is no other than Glen Bailey. His work should nev- er be forgotten. He was a tower 111 himself. His ability as a foot ball player made it possible for Stetson to wallop the Blue and White.

His punts averaged fifty yards, and on his shoulders fell the burden of the attack. His punting was sensational, and thru this fact alone did he do yeomen service to the Green and White. Russell White did himself justice and deserves a great deal of credit. He will be a tower of strength to Stetson next year. His ability to size up thewaakness was fine, but when he would call such plays that ordinarily would have worked, the line unfortunately would not hold long enough I for them to be run off in good form. Rasco played one of the greatest games that a center could have played. His passes were perfect, and his offensive strength was very much in evidence. In the words of Hyer the Southern center, "That man Rasco is some bear." This is a credit to any foot ball player, especially when coming from an opponent. Rutherford did splendidly and deserves "heaps" of credit. Go | to 'em "Tax" LeMay did very well and will make Stetson a good man for next year. Todd Smith was the proverbial Tiger in the line. He would fight snakes. A. Chalker at left tackle did credit- ' able work and held his own with the best man that Southern had in their line. F. Chalker also did good work- when he relieved his "Big Brother." The ends were well taken care of by Fenno, Browning, Allen and Sherman. Fenno's work was of the best and nothing more could have been asked from that little demon. Allen did such good work that all his Tampa friends were pleased with his ability as a foot ball player. Browning was substituted for Allen and it was this young scrappy chap that turned the tide of battle. He tackled Rast of the Southern eleven and threw- him over for the safety, counting two points, the necessary amount to cast gloom upon the Southern contingent. "Brow nie's" work stamps him as a comer, and it was only on account of his bad knee that he was withdrawn from the game. Sherman I also deserves much credit—after | relieving Fenno; "Bar Harbor" tore that Southern interference to shreds. Gardiner stuck to the ship until the finish, and altho he threw his knee out of place, he fought on gamely to the finish. Last, but not least, comes two of the most reliable backs we have, and they are no other than "Jimmy" Gross and "Hogey." Jimmy tore off run after run and his catching of forward passes was the best seen on Plant Field this year. On the defense James saved a touch down when he overtook a Southern man and thus prevented a touchdown. "Hogey" was there with the goods from the era man and sent him across for a safety, and two points, making a total of 8 points for Stetson and 6 for Southern. The line up was as follows: Stetson (8) Southern (6) Fenno L.E Brown A. Chalker L.T LoBean Rutherford L.G Toes Rasco C Hyers Smith... R.G Crowley Gee, Capt R.T Wilson Allen R.E King White Q.B C.

Thanks to the chairman of the entertainment committee, Mr. Gillman, the affair was a complete success. Refreshments were served in the balcony of Fowler & Clarkson's establishment, after which the party attended the picture show.

All of them failed until the fourth dowrn, when Shank threw a pass wild, not even looking where it was going and as luck would have it, King snatched the ball on the run, and ran over for a touchdown!. Calvert failed to kick goal, giving Southern 6 points. In the third quarter Bailey tried for a field goal and the ball fell short, and as the ball struck the ground, Rast, quarter back of the Southern Eleven grabbed the ball and attempted to run with it when Browming nailed the South- Pennants. These fellows pulled the vehicle up to Elizabeth Hall at 11:45 A. M., where it was left until after dinner. The entire number of men students gathered around it, the team was put in the hack and their luggage on top and then began the march to the depot. The City Band was in the lead and everybody was feeling joyful at the prospects of another victory for our Stetson. The eagerness to help pull the team was so great that all did not get the opportunity to assist. Songs, cheers and general shouts of victorious anticipation were continuous. When the station was reached more cheering: followed until the whistle blew Patriotic services, under the auspices of the local Daughters of the American Revolution, were conducted by Dr. Hulley at the Vespers last week. Music by the band was an important feature of the program. Following the scripture lesson Dr. Hulley read the story of "The Birthday of the American Flag," and Mary Hulley effectively recited "How Old Glory Got Its Name." All present then united in singing "The Star Spangled Banner." The text, "So then ye are no more strangers and sojourners, but fellow citizens," was chosen by Dr. Hulley. The talk was patriotic and inspiring. Dr. Hulley briefly related the founding of what is now the United States of America. He spoke of the Pilgrims, their aims, their ideals, and what they accomplished. He told of the trials and hardships of the early colonists, and how they won out, establishing the foundation of one of the greatest nations the world has ever known. Dr. Hulley then described what the Fourth of July means to Americans, and how the North and South, East and West unite in the celebration of the nation's birthday. The talk was concluded by the reading of Henry Ward Beecher's "What Our Flag Means." Every person of a crowd that filled the chapel to capacity went away feeling that he had heard one of the most worth while Vesper services of the year. o Roy Starbird, a last year's student, was a recent visitor to De- Land. Donald Conn was present at the Shriners meet in Orlando, Fla. for the departure. The band was put in the wagon on the return to town and furnished their steeds with music to urge them on. This was one of the most spirited occasions that \ve have seen in many days and it shows that there is plenty of College spirit at Stetson if only a chance is given to make it evident.
