WHITE AND GREEN AGAIN VICTORIOUS Stetson Girls Win From Gainesville in Hard Fought Battle.— Visitors Outplayed Locals in First Half But Yield to Superior Passing and Team Work. DELAND, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1916. NUMBER & 'k> EUSOPHIAN LITERARY SOCIETY. The second game with Gainesville ended in another victory for the Stetson girls to the tune of 26 to 14. The gym was well filled and the DeLand Band kindly supplied the music making it a gala affair. Until the second half the odds seemed slightly in favor of the visitors. The score seldom favored either side by more than twoj The last meeting of the Kent points and the two points were-Club was of an unusual nature.

In fact Gainesville was kindly given three free chances before making good and it was four minutes before Stetson tallied. After four minutes, Smith caged one and for awhile Stetson led by one point. The visitors tallied from field and foul line and Stetson annexed another ringer making it four all. Again Gainesville tallied and for several minutes it stood 6-4 against the •locals until Smith once more tied things up with a neat pass. The visitors then added two more and things looked dark. Just as the whistle blew for the second half, \ Smith caged another by a beautiful throw. The. second half opened withj both teams fighting gamely. Bates had been substituted for Kruse and D. Haynes for Albritton, and after a few minutes the reinforcement's weight became perceivable. After three minutes of play Elliott placed a beautiful shot and from then on Stetson was never headed. Smith's shooting in this half was unusually brilliant and the centers and guards had at last hit their stride. The Gainesville girls put up a fight to the finish but theirs was a hopeless cause. The game went to the Green and White because they possessed the true come back spirit and the punch to make it good. The Gainesville girls really played the better game during the first period, and kept the ball in their possession most of the time. In the final period the conditions were just the reverse. Many visitors were present, but alas and alack, those on the program were not. Volunteers were called for and the following program carried out:— Reading—F. T. Haskins. Reading—R. A. Roebuck.

The regular meeting of the Var- j sity Club was held Friday even Monday morning in Chapel Dr. Hulley announced that at 9:45 A. M., the student body would have the pleasure of hearing the Hon. William Jennings Bryan. Needless to say the auditorium was well filled by the time announced for the beginning of the address. When Mr. Bryan entered the 1 Chapel the entire student body stood, and Mr. Bryan was escorted on to the platform by Dr. Hulley amid enthusiastic applause. The Ex-Secretary of State announced that he was with us because of his own invitation and that he always availed himself of every opportunity to speak to a student body. The speaker occupied the first few minutes in discussing the temperance questions and explaining that it was his custom to leave a pledge at every school signed by himself and to ask all so inclined to pledge themselves to abstain from intoxicants. He gave three reasons for total abstinence, i. e., you can't afford to take the chance, second, you can't afford to spend the money and third, because of the influence of your example. Then Mr. Bryan turned his Last Sunday's Vesper Service opened with a prelude "Pee Gym Suite" played by Miss Baker. This was followed by a hymn rendered by the men's chorus and a solo, "O Dry Those Tears," by Mr. Honneycutt. "Consolation" and "A Song to the Evening Star" were-artistically rendered by the Stetson Mandolin Club. "Praise ye the Father" sung by the Vesper Choir closed the musical program. Dr. Hulley favored us with another sermon on the subject of "Missions." In this sermon Dr. Hulley further traced the missionary journeys of the Apostle Paul, bringing out the fact very forcebly that Paul was a soldier of peace and had it not been for him we would have been a heathen nation. o VARSITY SWAMPS KEEWATIN TEAM BOTH TEAMS PUT UP A BATTLE ROYAL AND FOUGHT TO A FINISH Most Interesting Game of the Season to the Spectators.— Miller Was in Great Form. thoughts to the question of Preparedness.

He declared that this pseudo philosophy was based on the illogical major premise, "That might makes right," and was clearly against the principles of Christianity. He further declared that the character of an act could not be changed by the method employed. Under the third division of his outline Mr. Bryan declared that we are for peace, but there are two ideas of how to obtain and retain peace, one claiming preparedness settled but will be in the near I is a preventive and the other future. •o Mildred Siviter spent the weekend in town. claiming it is not.

Saturday evening the Stetson Quintette covered itself with glory by defeating the fast team of Keew-atin. From the view point of the Stetson rooters it wras the best game of the eason because it was a game in which both teams displayed some real basketball. The Keewatin five has been reputed to be the best in the state, with the possible exception of the Y. M. C. A. team of Jacksonville, so the game was a good drawing card and the g}Tn was packed. Rivalry was keen and both teams on edge so early in the game there were several attempts at serious roughness. This element of the knock-down-drag-out method w-as the only thing to mar a good exhibition and could not be censured too severely. The Varsity put up a splendid performance, every man appearing to advantage. The Keewatin boys seemed unable to get under headway and were helpless before the consistent guarding of the Stetsonians. The first half was rather closely contested and was by far the better portion of the game but at the end of this half it was almost a certainty that the Green and White team would come off victors. In the second half it was 73^ minutes of play before a basket was caged. Altho clearly out-clased the visitors put up a plucky fight and were not defeated till the last count. The final score was 44 to 24 in favor of Stetson. Miller lead his team mates by making 7 goals, Rutherford followed with 4 to his credit and Palmer and Hollander caged two each. Hollander's throwing from the foul line wras sensational. Out of nineteen chances he succeeded in making fourteen good. The team work of the Varsity wras excellent, as was the guarding at all times, and the passing was above the ordinary. One or two of the players showed an over willingness at attempting long passes. At one time 8 straight passess from the middle of the court were missed, and of these passes there were at least two in which another man was in a better position to shoot. Taking all in all, the game with Keewatin was the best and hardest fought game of the season. Line-up and summary: Mar>* Sheppard spent the weekend with her brother in town. The fame of our "Champ" Johnson is spreading around this country. He has received a challenge to box in Daytona for four rounds next Thursday evening. Keep it up "Champ."
