Visitors Hopes of Remaining in the Race For State Honors Completely Demolished By Loss of These Games. Wednesday afternoon Stetson gave the visiting team of Keewatin another defeat to the tune of 11 to 7. In the earlier part of the game rain threatened to ruin the game for the afternoon, but after a few minutes, the playing was resumed. Stetson secured a big lead in the first inning and then proceeded to take it easy until the fourth inning when Keewatin was within one score of tieing Stetson's lead. Then for three innings close consistent playing ensued. After the seventh it was almost certain that victory would rest over the Green and White. Lourcey, Palmer, and Burdick led in hits for Stetson; while Steele, Guyon, and Leith held the honors for Keewatin. Game by innings: First Inning. Robinson grounded out to first.

Continued on page 3 Last Friday night the club held a very entertaining and interesting meeting. The whole was full of the old time "pep" that Kent Club can show and has shown since its organization. Two readings given by Mr. Roebuck were highly enjoyed. A debate on the resolution that church property should be taxed was upheld in the affirmative by Young and Skinner while the negative was defended by Bradley and Smith. The judges rendered their decision in favor of the affirmative by two to one vote. The chair was then given to Mr. Koester, who carried on parliamentary practice for ten minutes. The club is certainly having fine meetings and everyone should turn out to them and "bring a friend." o EUSOPHIAN LITERARY SOCIETY The Eusophian Literary Society met Friday in the "Lit" room.

Story from Luy de Manpaussant —Mabel Eldrigde. Both games with the Superbs last week, on Wednesday and Thursday, went to the leaguers. This naturally, was only to be expected, but the magnificent team work coupled with brilliant individual play on the part of the Varsity threw a scare into the Brooklynites. This was especially true in the opening game. The Stetson team was up against some real ball players and realized it thoroughly, but instead of weakening in such a pinch the Stetson players only fought harder and really put up the game of their lives. The score was 14 to 10. Both sides hit the pill at a lively clip As a slugger Hickman of the Brooklyn club carried off individual honors. In four trips to the plate Hickman drove out three three baggers and one double. For Stetson Burdick was the star with the war club but was closely crowded by Palmer's mighty drives. Palmer for ths-ifecols pitched a good consistent game. At times he was given brillian support, but Palmer was a factor in the game at every stage. Lourcey received them in his customary style. For Brooklyn Mailes and Goodbreath, the latter a Florida boy, did the twirling while Wheat did the receiving. The second game was equally as good as the first save in one respect. Old heads did the pitching for the Superbs and our boys failed to clout as on Wednesday. In spite of one or two rallies that looked dangerous the varsity failed to complete the circuit. Several times men were shoved as far as the third sack but the necessary punch seemed lacking. Barstow pitched excellent ball but his team mates failed to put up such a fght on the offensive as displayed in the first game. Burdick was again the star with the big stick getting several long drives from the offerings of the Brooklyn twirlers. The longest clout went to the Brooklyn right fielder. This worthy hit between center and right. Hon chased the ball and pegged to Palmer, the latter pegged to Bradley and Bradley threw to Hollander. Low and behold! in this easy manner was the ball brought back into the infield. Hickman put added pep in the game with some daring base running. He litterally run amuck, and after several perfect pegs-that missed getting the speed demon by about twenty feet, Lourcey seemed disgusted with the whole proceedings. The only changes in the line up was the substitution of Bradley for Browning at second base and the substitution of Hon for Bradley in the outer-garden. Dell, Appleton and Stevenson worked for Brooklyn, and were all efficient. Wheat received. A return game has been secured Continued on Page 4 The students of the University as well as the people of DeLand were given the benefit of a musical treat in the form of a Musical Festival. The music rendered being strictly high class was instructive as well as entertaining. The Festival opened Friday evening with a concert given by the Philharmonic Quartette, composed of Misses Helen Kalmback, Josephine Luznicky, Edna Burnside and Mr. Noble Miller, assisted by Miss Olive B. Lord. They presented a well chosen program consisting of ten selections. Sunday's Vesper Services was a part of the Week of Music. The service opened with an organ prelude, "Yanaya Polyana," played by Miss Baker. Prof. Guevchenian sang, "Turn Thee Unto Me." Dr. Hulley delivered his third sermon on the Bible his subject being, "How to Interpret the Bible" In this sermon Dr. Hulley showed how many passages of the Scriptures were misinterpreted. He gave many examples of misinterpretation showing that often they have the opposite meaning of the common interpretation. The Vesper Choir sang as a concluding number, "Hark, Hark, Hark My Soul." Monday evening Redemption, a Sacred Trilogy, was rendered by the Vesper Choir; the following soloists assisting: Miss Louise Watts—Soprano. Mrs. H. G. Bow—Soprano. Mr. J. T. Cairns—Baritone. Mr. Walter Drennen — Basso- Cantante. The rendition was exceedingly good bestowing much credit upon the Vesper Choir in handling so expertly such a difficult oratorio. The Pupil's Recital was given Tuesday evening. In this recital both pupils and director did themselves full justice. Many of the pupils showed marked musical ability and talent. The following program was rendered in a very pleasing manner: Organ Chant triumphal Gaul Hattie Miller Piano duo Nevin Sallie and Eva Bussell. Song Cherry Ripe Horn Jean Eggleston Violin Serenade Drdla Jean Sheldon. Vocal trio; How Sweet the Hour Barrie Misses Miller, Fisk and Futch. Piano; Spring Dawn Mason France Sparber.

Vocal Duo Barcarolle- Offenbach CATHEDRAL VANQUISHED FIRST HALF OF FRIDAY'S GAME CLOSELY CONTESTED.—SECOND HALF NOT SO INTERESTING. Varsity Held Cathedral Close With Second String Players.—In Last Period Against Veterans Orlando Girls Helpless. Continued on page 4 Last Friday evening Stetson Girls Basketball Team played the Cathedral School on their home floor at Orlando. There has been a friendly rivalry between these two schools for several years in the game of basketball and the result of this game was gratifying from Stetson's standpoint. Last year they were the only team to defeat Stetson. This year's victory was the result of the Stetson team's teamwork and is a tribute to the coach. Consistent playing featured in this game. For Stetson the following girls started the game: Turnquist, jumping center; Catherine Haynes, running center; Kilgore and Kruse forwards, and Ruth Haynes and Albritton as guards. When the half ended the score stood 10 to 8 in Stetson's favor. This half was the best part of the game During this half one of Cathedrals best players was injured and had to be taken out of the game. When the second half began Stetson's line-up had been changed and the Old Guard had been put back into action. Cathedral was unable to score any more points on account of the work of Smith and Elliott as forwards and Delta Haynes and Woodall as guards. The game ended with the score being 23 to 8 in favor of the Green and White. Carl Farriss acted as referee and Moore as umpire. Moore will officiate here Friday night in Cum- mings Gym. A large crowd witnessed this interesting game. A party of Stetson rooters with Miss Holden as chaperon, cheered the Stetson girls on to victory. Friday night at 7:30 in Cum- mings Gym the last games of the season will be played. A double- header, played entirely by the girls, with Umatilla and a return game with Cathedral are the program for this event. o VARSITY CLUB. The Varsity Club convened a special meeting Tuesday to determine who should represent them in their debating team on next Open Day. Nine participants entered the try-out. The question debated was Resolved that the United States should increase its armament. Five of the contestants chose the Affirmative side and four the Negative. Some strong debates were delivered. The w7hole society acted as judges. The following four were chosen to represent the Varsity Club in its public debate in April: John Ziegler, Charles Walker, Henry Lofquist, Ben Hulley, with Floyd Northrup and Linton Pickard as alternates.
