XXVIII. STETSON TAKES ANOTHER GAME DELAND, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, MARCH 3, 1916. NUMBER %/y }fr STETSON WINS ANOTHER GAME OF BASKETBALL Men's Team Gives Eustis Team A Severe Defeat. Friday afternoon the Men's Basketball team journeyed by auto to Eustis. They found that travel was uncomfortable on account of the high wind which prevailed. This wind had filled the wheel ruts with soft sand and caused the party to travel slowly. The game began at 9 P. M., because another game was played first. The opposing team was the Ocklawaha Hotel team and not the Eustis High School team as might be supposed. Curtis Gardner was acting captain for Stetson in the place of Hollander, who was with the Baseball team at Souther- land. The game was fast although the score might indicate otherwise. Fouls were conspicuous by their great number, the Eustis team making half of their points by shooting fouls. Rutherford, Miller and Minter were the strong factors in the Stetson team. The floor seemed to be marked off wrong, being wider than it was long. The attendance upon the game was fair. The entire line-up and summary were not available at the time this went to press, hence only the Stetson lineup is given. Forward—Gardner. Forward—Miller. Center—Rutherford. Guare—O'Connell. Guard—Minter. Gardner. 5 field goals and 1 foul, Miller 4 goals, Rutherford 7 goals and 3 fouls, Minter 6 goals, O'Connell 2 goals. The final score was 52-20. o TERPSICHOREAN. EUSOPHIAN LITERARY SOCIETY TAINMENT OFFERED BY COMMERCIAL LEAGUE. On Wednesday afternoon, Feb. 23, the members of the two girls fraternities were entertained at a dance at the College Arms, given by Mrs. John B. Stetson and Mrs. Henry Stetson, patronesses of Delta Delta Delta and Pi Beta Phi fraternities respectively. The hostesses received their guests at the door of the sun-parlor. The rugs had been rolled back and the College Arms orchestra furnished music while the girls enjoyed Terpsi- chorean art. Boxes of candy hidden around the room were found and immensely enjoyed between dances. The rooms were beautifully decorated. On the tea table at which one of Mrs. Stetson's friends presided, was a beautiful basket of violets. A number of Mrs. Stetson's friends, who are guests at the College Arms, aided them in receiving and entertaining and a fine time was enjoyed by all Present.

The program was rather short and not very well attended owing to the Chautauqua. The program was rendered as follows: Stetson Star—Mr. Arvid Peterson Extempore—Mr. Herldon Bowen. Parliamentary Practice—Miss Florence Johnson. The Stetson "Lit." wall not meet until Saturday of this week owing to the Sanford debate which is to be held in the Auditorium at eight o'clock Friday evening. The debate with Sanford is on the question, J "Resolved: that is is unnessary DeLand and Stetson University have had another Chautauqua. Another event has been relegated to the annals of history. We, the students, enjoyed the Chautauqua. The Profs, endured it. We will now return to our studies; to classes we will go with clear consciences and lessons prepared. Our grades will henceforth improve, and wre shall not blush crimson when our class standings are mentioned. Our gala nights are over. The Chautauqua opened with I one of the best numbers on the I program. On Wednesday evening, | Feb. 23rd, Dr. Hulley lectured on] "Eugene Field and the Children." In the old illimitable style Doc stepped forth in front of the footlights and smiled. It was the old "Doc Hulley smile''. We recognized it, and the house greeted with applause. We knew a treat was in store for us. Without preliminaries Doc plunged into his theme. Of old we had listened to masterly interpretations of Kipling and James Whitcomb} Riley, but nowr wre were regaled with a discourse of equal par. The brilliancy, the poetry, the love of children, the wonderful and spontaneous humor of Eugene Field, was fully portrayed to us. The personality of the poet flashed before us with the wholesomeness and virility of the Doctor's owti personality added. We listened to broad jest, to the crooning of lullabys, to the ex laining of child languages and imaginings, to the incomparable readings of child poems of a large soul. The lecture was a rare treat. Thursday afternoon wTe listened to Wallace Bruce Amsbary interpret the lives, longings and loves of the j French-Canadians. He gave readings from their literature, with the inimical shrug of the shoulders the peculiar patois of the French-Canadian added in pure style. We also listened to a musical prelude by the Weatherwax Brothers. Thursday evening the Weatherwax Quartet entertained us with a Grand Concert. A high degree of talent was afforded us. "The Rosary" and "The Little Brown Church in the Vale" was well[ rendered. Mingled with the mu sical numbers were recitations such as "Mother," "A House by the Side of the Road," and Riley's "An Old Sweetheart of Mine." The brother William's readings of "An Essay on Grass" was simply mirth- provoking. It left us breathless with laughter. Besides their vocal music, the Weatherwax boys also exhibited as a trumpet quartet. Friday afternoon Emma Deej Randle entertained us with dra-j matic readings.

The first one by the score of 3 to 2, and the second one by the score of 2 to 1. Judging from the score alone the teams seem very evenly ballanced with the odds slightly favoring the Southern aggregation. Both games were bitterly contested after a fashion. As a matter of fact the Varsity never had a chance. The so-called "championship games" were umpired b)'' Southern students and to say the least their work, from a Southern standpoint, was very effective. Gross and Lourcey wrorked for Stetson in the opening game, and Jimmie pitched a masterful game.

The matter of the yearly representation in the Annual wTas taken up and satisfactorily settled.

Saturday evening Miss Elsie Ward entertained her friends at her home on Rich avenue to a dinner-dance. The party was from 9 to 12 and everyone had a thoroughly enjoyable evening. The party consisted of about twelve couples. o There are a lot of other things said by judges that are only remarks and a lot by other people that are the same. Ask Still- man. One of the girls when asked wiiere Miss Bangs was Friday night answered, "Oh, she is off for the week-end." Eva May and Sally Bussell and Hattie Miller were out of town during the wTeek-end. Hilda Budd spent the week-end at Lake Helen with her cousins. Continued on page 4 Continued on Page 3 We have missed Miss Gates smiling countenance from the library for several days, but we are glad she is well again. but by phenomenal rallies the team managed to pull out. Several disheartening decisions on the part of his royal highness the umps seemed to put the team off color and well it might. When a Southern umpire makes a decision calling a Southern player safe at third and that player refused to abide by such decision and deliberately walked to the bench, there is certainly room for argument that there is something wrong. With the score three to nothing in the eighth inning, Stetson's wrecking crew proceeded to get busy. By timely wallops Browniing and Barstow wrere shoved across before the side w*as retired. In the ninth Hollander reached third and things began to look bright but with tw7o out Gross drove a line drive to short. It was a hard hit ball but the shortstop after juggling a moment threw to first j and the game w^as over. In the second game Palmer pitched excellent ball. What hits Southern gathered from his delivery were few and far between. The Southern scorer credited Suth- ern with ten hits off the big boys' deliver)^, but with men on bases Palmer usually tightened up like a clam. The trouble was Stetson couldn't score more than one run. The ridiculous decisions on balls and strikes kept Stetson batters constantly in the hole. In the latter part of the game, after two strikes had been called, no Stetson batter allowed any to go by without taking a chance at hitting it. To let it go wras suicide. The umps saw them all alike. At that the Varsity put up a game fight as on the first day a man reached third in the ninth with two down. Gardiner lined one down to third and Calvert, the Southern third sacker, did not have to move out of his tracks. As in the first game three feet difference to either side would have at least tied the game. Stetson was out lucked and out umpired. Suthern is nowr claiming Continued on page 4
