White and Green Team Easily Demonstrated the Right to the Title Against All Comers. So successful has been the basketball season just passed, that it would seem useless to comment upon it. After decisively defeating the best teams in the State it would seem that the Stetson squad should modestly remain silent and let others speak of their glories. The same would also seem true of the college papers. Both squad and paper have done so, awaiting the plaudits of those who were competent to speak of our strength. Instead of so speaking, the schools that were eliminated from state honors by the brilliant playing of Coach Hollander's squad, have either remained silent or have advanced some personal claim for that honor. It is indeed difficult to see any grounds for their The Eusophian "Lit" met with an unusually good attendance last Friday evening.

The Duval team threw quite a scare in our camp by taking the first game with neatness and dispatch. There was absolutely no excuse to offer. The best team, as they then were, won. The first string men were over confident, out of condition ^d demoralized. The second The Judges, Messrs. Lofquist, Ziegler and Emerson, decided in favor of the Affirmative.

C In the last game of the Brooklyn series the Varsity came into its own with a vengeance. The Swperbas were battled to a finish. In fact the exhibition put up by the squad against such odds was truly remarkable- Brooklyn started things by driving three across in the first inning In the third inning things started to get cloudy but a lightning double play put a quietus of the visitors chances for another round. The Varsity, nothing daunted, came back strong in their part of the third and succeeded in shoving three runners across the platter.
