The question of financing the team was taken up and it was at once decided to form an association and each member of the Athletic Association that was formed to pay in five dollars toward the expenses of football. Three hundred dollars was at once subscribed by the students present themselves and it is hoped that the business men will also assist so that football will- be assured for good. Most of the other Universities of the country have a blanket tax which covers the athletic expenses but it not being so here the students have formed an Athletic Association of their own. The five dollars subscription to the fund entitles the student to see all football and baseball games and Manager Dickey at once set to work arranging schedules with Rollins and Southern and other, colleges around the State. The outlook for material for the football team is good for the year and there is no reason why Stetson cannot have a team to be proud of and one which will n°t go down in defeat. Every effort is being exerted by the student body and success is practically sure. Twenty-eight men answered the call and were in line for the first %'s try out and every one of them good material. At once the men were set to work under the direction of the Coach and every day the men are ordered out for practice and will soon be in shape to give an account of themselves.
