DELAND, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 1915. NUMBER 15 K. M. I. DEFEATED IN OPENING GAMES FIRST GAME AN EASY VICTORY FOR VARSITY- SECOND GAME A CLOSE ONE. Visitors Rally in Second Game and Put Up Much Better Scrap- Recruits Look Good. Stetson easily defeated K. M. I. in both games played last week. Stetson was not in any danger at any time during the first game, and the second game was only made more interesting by changing tne stetson line-up. Stetson seems to have one of its strongest baseball teams in its history. The game was only 7 innings on account of darkness. Haskins pitched excellent ball and had the opposing team at Ms mercy. He pitched 5 innings and then was relieved by Palmer. Hayden for K. M. I. was slow and deadened the game by his aggravating delivery. Palmer, Browning, and Hollander held the batting honors for Stetson in the first game. The weather was most suitable for both games. The attendance for the first game was good but for Saturday's game there was only a very small crowd out to witness it. Game by Innings.—First Game. First Inning. K. M. I. Lockley fanned.

On Friday morning the Stetson Girls Basket Ball Team left De- Land by automobile for Ocala and Gainesville. They arrived in Ocala about 3:15 P. M. and the game was called at 3:30. Due to the fatigue of such a detour the Stetson team was not up to its usual form and the game was interesting as the score throughout was close The final score beingl5—11. The lineup with the official score was as follows: Ocala Wildcats. Forward—Gissendaner. Forward—L. Smith. Center—Ledner. R. Center—Jackson. Guard—Woodrow. Guard—Camp. Stetson. Forward—Elliott. Forward—Smith. Center—Bates. R. Center—C. Haynes. Guard—D. Haynes. Guard—Woodall. Ocala Substitutes—Burface for Ledner. Baskets by L. Smith—2. Field goals by Gissendaner—2 field goals, 3 fouls. Stetson Baskets—By Elliott, 1 field goal, 2 foul goals; by Smith, 3 field goals, 5 foul goals. Our girls report a royal time in Ocala. Although it was the Wildcats first defeat they proved themselves to be good losers. On Saturday morning they enjoyed an auto trip to Silver Springs which the girls declare to be one of the "seven wonders of the world." After this they left for Gainesville, arriving just in time for the game which was called at 3:30. Again the girls were thrown at a disadvantage as the game w^as played on an out doors court. Just as the first half was called a heavy rain came up which necessitated the second half to be called at an indoor court. The score now stood 17-10 favoring Stetson. At 7:30 P. M. the battle was continued in the Gym at the U. of Fla. Here the Stetson girls were able to show their old time form and wonderful team work. The score at the end of this half being 20-4 favoring Stetson. The score of the game being 37-14. Line up as follows: Gainesville. Forwards—Bullock and Lane. Center—Johnson. R. Center—G. Bullock. Guards—Colsom and Carle. Stetson. Forwards—Elliott and Smith. Center—Bates. R. Center—C. Haynes. Guards—D. Haynes and M. Woodall. Baskets by Gainesville, Bullock, field goals 4, foul goals 6.

Last Sunday afternoon an excellent crowd of tourists, townspeople, and students assembled in the Auditorium. The Vesper Service was opened by a prelude, Polyana (Harvey B. Gaul) rendered by the organist, Miss Baker. A solo, Largo (Handel) was beautifully sung by Prof. Gue- vchenian. Immediately after the prayer the men's chorus sang Sanctus. After the reading of the Scriptures, Mr. William Sales accompanied by the men's chorus, sang "The Light The Truth and The Way." (T. Koschat). Dr ,Hulley spoke in his usual pleasing way on the subject of "The Broken Reed." He contrasted the way of the world and the way of Jesus in dealing with broken lives. He brought out the thought, very beautifully, that the Spirit of Christ is back of every benevolent institution and that Christ's Spirit permeates the hearts and lives of the teachers and instructors in these institutions. The Lost Chord was rendered by the Vesper Choir. This completed a beautiful and impressive service. o MISS MALLORY LECTURES. DUVAL QUINTET DOWNS VARSITY NO ALIBI POSSIBLE. HIGH SCHOOL LADS SHOWED MAGNIFICENT FORM. Great Shake Up in the Line Expected to Take Place Before Next Game. Miss A-fallory connected with the Foreign Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention, addressed the members of the Y. M. | C. A. and Y. W. C. A. in the Association Room Sunday evening. Miss Mallory compared the extension of missions to the extension and building of a great white way. Every Christian should radiate the light of the Gospel as do the arc lights radiate light. She recom" mended that the Students support at least one missionary on the foreign field. The members of the two associations appreciated Miss Mallory's address and hope some time to be able to send a missionary from Stetson University. 6 Friday evening news was received of the accidental shooting of Morgan Hyers, brother of Miss Thelma Hyers. It seems that a playmate pointed a gun at the deceased and thinking it to be empty pulled the trigger. The shot took effect in the lungs and proved fatal. On behalf of the students the Collegiate extends sympathy to those who mourn. Miss Mabel Eldridge spent weekend with Bessie Gumm. ! boys and girls treated the Stetson girls to an oyster roast which was enjoyed by all. The following morning the girls joined Mr. Wells in his Hudson and the trip home was exceedingly interesting. Mr. Wells being acquainted with the country and pointed out all places of interest. The girls all wish to express their appreciation to him for the way in which he treated them on the trip. His car was always af their services and his cheers fror t the side line made them feel that, they were not altogether among strangers As a whole the girls claim the trip to be the most enjoyable of the season. In one of the most exciting and thrilling games of basketball ever played in the Cummings Gymnasium, Stetson was defeated for the first time this season. It was one of the best athletic events of this year, even if it ended in a defeat for the Green and White. To most of the student body this defeat came as a shocking surprise. To those who are observant it was just the opposite. The game was full of pep and lively interest from start to finish. When the Varsity started off so well by scoring the first four points there seemed no comparison between the teams. Everything looked bright for Stetson. Duval came back strong and set a furious pace. After about three minutes of play several of the Varsity were "all in." Several changes were made, and with fresh men in the line up, Stetson succeeded in holding Duval close during the first half. The score at the end of the first period was, Duval 13, Stetson 12. During the second half both teams fought desperately but the visitors were in much better shape and put up a more consistent exhibition. Substitute after substitute was used to check the tide and stave off defeat, but all to no purpose. The game ended with Duval 6 points in the lead, the final score being 31 to 25. For Stetson Palmer and Miller were the most consistent and efficient performers. For Duval every man put up a splendid fight. They richly deserve the victory so nobly won. The game went to the best team—as they were then. The Stetson team had grown overconfident, and had neglected to observe training rules. The first string men were exhausted after five minutes of play. The substitutes deserve great credit for their magnificent showing. Thru no fault of theirs was the game lost. Those guilty should bear the blame. The coach and the student body had placed the fullest confidence in a combination and that combination failed, not because ability was wanting, not because coaching was wanting, but because a few of that combination so lightly regarded this confidence as to break training and enter an important game totally unfit and unable to put up a fight worthy of their cause. The result was an inevitable one. The line up:— Stetson. Forward—Gardner. Forward—:Miller. Center—Rutherford. Guard—Walker. Guard—O' Co nnell. Duval. Forward—Madison. Forward—Lloyd.
