DELAND, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1916. NUMBER 6 LOOKS LIKE DEFEAT FOR ROL LINS. Team In Great Form. Coach Hollander's boys are expected to run up another big score tomorrow when they again orapple with the Rollins eleven. The Green and White squad is now in the best form it has shown since the opening of the season, and every one who has watched it work looks confidently to an even more decisive victory on the hostile gridiron than was gained two weeks ago on the home grounds. The team is at present practically free from serious injuries, and every practice game has been characterized by fast, hard, scrimmages. Not only are a number of individual stars showing smashing form, but the team work is good, and the squad works like a machine. At no time has the outlook been more hopeful for the Stetson eleven. That the Rollins gridiron outfit has not greatly improved since their disastrous game on the Stetson ball lot is shown by the heavy defeat suffered at the cleats of the Southern College boys last Saturday. In a game of ten minute quarters the warriors of the Blue and White piled up the same score run up by Stetson against Rollins, the ultimate tally being 34 to 0. Southern's eleven totally demoralized the Rollins defense, gaining almost at will by line bucks or open field work. Rollins appeared especially helpless in the breaking up of forward passes. If this remains the case tomorrow Dutch Hollander's shifty assortment of trick pass formations should he highly instrumental in the accumulation of another lop-sided score. Musselwhite, the star halfback for the Rollins aggregation, is the individual star who will give the Rollins defense its chief troubles tomorrow afternoon. Harper at fullback, and Hutchinson at aid are both fast men and hard iacklers, while Stone and Fletcher are also players of the fighting brand; but if the Green and White Eleven puts up the aggressive battle that it is capable of, there is little danger of the Stetson boys coming home with the wrong end °f the score. The Stetson line-up for tomorrow k uncertain. Some of the second leam have been fighting hard for positions, and it is probable that some of them, for at least part of game, will hold positions on fte Varsity. Various shifts in the fee-up which have been tentatively tried during practise by C^ch Hollander may go into effect in tomorrow's clash. Dud Rutherford has been tried at cen- ter- while Rasco has taken a guard. The entire line is being contested, especially where '•. Browning, Fenno, and Sher- 111311 are fighting it out on the ends, ^eh Hollander, of course, re- s to state in detail who will Pfev, but the line-up will probably start something like this: Stetson Rollins ^len L.E... Hutchinson r^er L.T Avants J^ L.G West ■.... .....C -Clark Continued on page 3 IS WELL PREPARED STETSON LITERARY SOCIETY FRESHMAN PARTY At the regular meeting of the Stetson Literary Society, which was held last Friday night in Science Hall, the following program was given: Stetson Star—Ralph Thompson.

SO- KENT LAW CLUB CHAUDOIN TEA. On Friday afternoon from 4 to 6 an informal tea was given in the Chaudoin parlors. Miss Martien, Miss Berger, Mrs. Dohm, Miss Holden, and Miss Bangs were the hostesses and entertained beautifully the faculty members and wives. The parlors were decorated with ferns and lighted by a great number of candles that spread a great soft glow over the entire room. Mrs. Peek presided at the toaster while Misses Gates and Ford poured tea. Misses Chase and Selter and Professors Mickle, Rockwood and Brass served. Helen Ake and Mary Reed played the victrola while the guests and hostesses supped and chatted together. The pleasant meeting came to a close at six o'clock. o PI BETA PHI. Entertain Pledges. | The ever popular bacon bat was the form of the invitation extended by the Piffies of the Pi Beta Phi, to the pledges of the Delta Delta Delta, on last Saturday. The gay' party assembled at Chaudoin, soon after six, bountifully supplied with eats, and a Ford full of bathing suits. If any one doubts the good time, ask to see the pictures. o PI PHI FRIENDS ENTERTAINED On Tuesday afternoon, Nov. 14, the Pi Beta Phi Fraternity entertained in the Fraternity room (which had been beautifully decorated for the occasion by the "Piffies") with an informal tea, honoring the Patronesses, Mothers, and Sisters. Dainty refreshments were served, with Mrs. Hulley presiding at the tea tabic. During the hours from four to five thirty, many called and enjoyed the hospitality of the Pi Beta Phi Fraternity. o Misses Bee Christiansen and Fern Fillingham spent the week end in j Umatilla. Most of the time was j spent in motoring to the neigh- I boring towns. In order that Chaudoin's time- honored social hour might not be disturbed, the date of the Freshman party was changed from Saturday night, November 11th, to Friday night, November 10th. Did that affect the Freshmen's pleasure? Not in the least; ask anyone who was there. The parlors were beautifully decorated with crimson and gray, the newly chosen colors of the class. In several places the class numerals "1920," made of red crepe paper, were displayed against gray backgrounds of Florida moss. Upon entering the door, each guest was promptly tagged with a rosette of crimson and gray .yarn; and on his back was pinned a slip of paper bearing the name of some mysterious animal whose identity the wearer had to, ascertain by questioning those around him. The result was a menagerie of startling variety. Lions, elephants, cats, whales, ants, otters, cows, hogs, camels, etc., filled the room in utmost confusion, each one trying to find out what kind of a creature he really was. Some of the crowd began to think that refreshments were com- i ing early when three ^sheets were j spread down in different corners! of the room, and a box of Cornflakes, with saucers and spoons,» was brought forth. The mystery was solved, however, when Earoll Roebuck and Miss Isabelle Bourley were blindfolded, seated opposite each other on one of the sheets, and each given a dish of the dry breakfast food. Then the fun began -in watching them try to feed each other. Mr. R. K. Smith and Miss Freeman were the next victims to be put on the rack, and were in turn followed by Mr. Albritton with Miss Haider- man. Several parlor games, such as "They put the pig in the parlor," "The farmer takes a wife," etc., were enjoyed during the early part of the evening. A game of "Cross Questions and Crooked Answers" was started in the back parlor, but was soon broken up by the serving of refreshments, which consisted of salad, saltines, and sandwiches. A large punch bowl, many times refilled, was the principal center of attraction for a while; then the crowd gathered around the piano to practise class songs and yells, which had been prepared by a specially appointed committee. From the results,' President Roebuck certainly showed a great deal of wisdom in his selection of this committee. Much class spirit was manifested throughout; in fact, it makes us tremble for the Sophomores when things are really up and doing. Suddenly the whole company! stampeded to the opposite end of the room. It was nearly 9:30, ' the time for the bell to ring, but a few Sophomore girls, in the vain hope of putting one over on the Freshies, had got hold of the bell to ring it before the hour. The Freshman girls showed their mettle, however, and after a short tussle, in which one of the Sophs The Eusophian Literary Society held its weekly meeting in the Carnegie Library, Nov. 10. The attendance was unusually large and the meeting was a very interesting one, at which time the following program was rendered: 1. A Great American Writer— May Friedlander. 2. The Best American Prose Wri ter—Alice Sarven. 3. Reading From a Living Ameri can Poet—Jessine Brooks. 4. Inventions During the Past Fifty Years—Sarah Chase. 5. Extemporaneous—Hylda Lynn 6. Parliamentary Practice—June Elliott. 7. Straw Vote for Wilson and Hughes. 8. Census Report—Helen Ake. 9. Junior Critic's Report. The new girls are showing us what they are capable of doing by the way they participate in the meetings. This is very encouraging for our Society and their efforts are greatly appreciated. Keep it up, girls, during the school year. The Parliamentary Practice was conducted very successfully by one of our capable members, June Elliott, and it was very helpful to everyone present. The straw voting created an interest among the girls. The ma- ority of the girls voting for Wilson, which was a great disappointment to the "Hughes Girls." New members are being constantly added to the roll, which fact shows that our meetings are attractive to the College girls. Preparing for Fight for Cup. PHI ALPHA DELTA LAW FRAT Initiate New Member. The Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity of John B. Stetson University initiated Mr. Rubert Long- street Tuesday night, November 7. On Tuesday night, November 14, the Brewer Chapter pledged Gardiner Sherman, Wayne Gil- man, Bernard Berk and Wilhelm Pencke. The law fraternity is of the highest standards and is doing much to keep up scholarship in the law department. Its conservative policy and high standards are a recognized feature of all professional fraternities. o PHI PSI DANCE Held at DeLeon Springs. Continued on page 2 Another successful dancing party was instituted by the boys of the Phi Beta Psi Fraternity last Saturday evening. Twelve couples drove out in motor cars to DeLeon Springs, where a bully picnic supper, including roast dogs, pickles, and ice cream, was heartily enjoyed. Some of the party went swimming and these made especially devastating inroads into the grub pile. After supper everyone danced in the pavilion. The music was furnished by one of the Phi Beta Psi Victro'as, which was taken out from the Fraternitv house The Kent Law Club was called to order by the president. Owing to the absence of the Secretary, Mr. McCutcheon, the chair appointed Mr. Melton secretary pro tern. The roll call showed the largest attendance of the term. After the old and new business had been arranged the question of the debate between the Kent and Varsity Clubs came up and was discussed. After much debating a motion was carried to the effect that a committee of three be appointed by the president to confer with the Varsity Club to arrange terms and schedule for the debate. The motion was carried out by the president appointing Messrs. Peterson, Harris and Walsden, as the committee of the Kent Club. Mr. Julian Hazard, who represented the Kent Club to arrange for a Wilson-Hughes debate with the Varsity reported that owing to the efforts to arrange for the cup debate, the matter had to be dropped. The following program was rendered : Debate, Resolved that the United States should have a strong merchant marine. Affirmative—Mr. Peterson and Mr. Webster. Negative—Mr. Caro and Mr. Walsden. Both sides put up spirited arguments but the judges, Messrs. Pattishall, Bates and Pencke, rendered a verdict in favor of the negative. The debate was followed by a talk by Mr. Bates, who gave some helpful suggestions to the club. Mr. Pattishall held the chair for a turbulent five minutes practice in parliamentary practice. The meeting then adjourned. VARSITY CLUB. The Varsity Club held its regular meeting Friday evening. No program was given at this meeting but the entire time was taken up in transacting business. It was decided by the club that an open meeting be held the last of this term and a committee was appointed to meet with Dean Smith and arrange for a program for this event. A committee, consisting of Zeig- ler, Day, and Amidon, was appointed by the chair. This committee was instructed to confer with the Kent Club and arrange for the subject and date of the debate to be held for the cup, which has been given for this purpose. . o ANOTHER HARD BATTLE Scrubs 18, Varsity 12. Continued on pasre 3 The Scrubs again romped on the near Varsity when the evenly divided squad clashed with itself last Tuesday. The fact that Dutch Hollander, Gee, Allen, and Sherman were numbered among the so-called "Scrubs" explains their unusual strength. The striking features of the play were a long Continued on Page 3
