Score Would Indicate That Stetson Has The Better Team- Battle was Brilliant and Extremely Hard Fought. KENT CLUB. On Friday afternoon Stetson stacked up against her greatest rival at the Jacksonville Y. M. C. A. building. Duval won from Stetson in DeLand by 5 points and Stetsonions were bent on revenge. Stetson entered the game with a fixed determination of victory. Duval by her great passing game managed to get a small lead on Stetson but then the big Green Team began to play in their regular style working plays in lightening like rapidity. Duval fighting every minute held the score a tie for several minutes but the first half ended with a five point lead for Stetson. The Kent Club met Friday night out side of Science Hall. There they waited for a half an hour, expecting every minute to be admitted to their Club Room. The meeting was called to order. Mr. Young was appointed to see if there could not be found some remedy for this evil i.e., locked out. The program was carried over to the next meeting. Every member is urged to be present and on time next Friday evening. o STETSON LITERARY SOCIETY BASKET BALL GIRLS INVADE GA. AND S.C. WAYCROSS AND CHARLESTON DEFEATED.—GAME WITH SAVANNAH LOST BY ONE POINT. Probably one of the best meetings of the year, though not the best attended, was held Friday evening. The following program was rendered. Reading—Miss. Shepheard. Current Events — Mr. Dewey Johnson. Debate (Extempory) Resolved; That it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Affirmative—Mr. Earoll Roebuck and Mr. Ralph Thompson. Negative—Mr. Daniel Leischer and Mr. Earl Shuflin. The judges, Mr. Wendell Rasco, Stetson started the second half!Miss Frances Field and Miss Lillian Fuller, rendered their decission in favor of the negative. The debate was quite a success as it contained a good deal of humor and wit as well as good logic, which brought out the ability of the speakers in so ably handling such a difficult subject. Parliamentary P r a c t i c e— Harold Carr. Owing to the lengthy business meeting a synonym contest was postponed. Entire Team Put Up Magnificent Showing.—Wyletta Elliott Established Record By Making 23 Out of 29 Pionts in One Game. with but one idea, that of winning. The fast and all around good playing proved conclusively that Stetson can play basketball. Each man worked well in his place and all played together. Duval put up a game fight in this half but were outclassed by the Green and White team. Stetson held Duval at the 19 mark for several minutes and registered enough field goals to give a safe lead. The score this half was 24 to 10 making the final score 44 to 25. Stetson's victory was wonderful, especially when it be remember that this same team had only the week before defeated Stetson °n her home floor and furthermore that this was the last game °n a 3 day trip and the boys were naturally in poor shape. The Varsity certainly proved the benefits °f strict training. It may be said that Duval has VARSITY CLUB. The Varsity Club held their regular weekly meeting last Friday night. An interesting program was given which was as follows. " War Report—Mr. Harris. Reading—Mr. Fred Fischer. Parliamentary Practice—Mr. Charles Walker..

EUSOPHIAN LITERARY SOCIETY Continued on page 4 The meeting of the Eusophian Literary Society last week was interesting and full of wit. The following program was given: Domestic Current Events. — Mamie Haynes. Charades.—Mary Walters, Elisabeth Gregory, Margaret Cadwalder Mary Reed, Margaret Coney. Extemporie—Mary Shephard. The characters were lots of fun. The best one of all was "ingratiate," which wasgivenby Margaret Coney. The election of officers was held and the following officers were elected: President—Mona Bates. Vice-President—France Sparber. Secretary—Mary Lou Wilson. Treasure—Mable Eldridge. Senior Critic—Mary Shephard. Junior Critic—Marjorie Blocker. Censor—Flossie Mathews. The girls' basketball squad covered Stetson, and incidentally themselves, with glory while on their trip into Georgia and South Carolina. Three games in all were played. The local girls annexed two and lost one. A glance at the scores clearly proves that two of the games were bitterly contested. The Waycross bout proved to be an easy victory. In this game not a single field-goal was made by the Waycross girls. The Stetson girls completely outclassed their rivals. One of the most • remarkable features of this game was the brilliant playing of Wyletta Elliott. Out of Stetson's 29 points she secured 23. Some record that. Savannah Game. From Waycross the girls advanced farther into the enemy's country and the second battle was fought at Savaannah. Here Stetson was defeated by the score of 22 to 21. The game was fiercely contested at all times. The Stetson girls outplayed their opponents in the first half. When the whistle blew at the end of this period the score stood 15-5 in Stetson's favor. The second half clearly belongs to Savannah. Their team came back strong and gradually drew closer and closer. At the end of the second half the score stood 20 all. This necessitated the two teams playing until one had registered two additional points. Savannah fouled and Stetson threw goal. The ball was put in play and Savannah tallied. The game was played under several disadvantages, and one of these was totaly unexpected, i. e., a slippery court. The sporting writers for the Savannah papers candidly admitted that Stetson possessed the better team. Stetson's scoring was as follows: Field goals—Wyletta Elliott 5; Sarah Smith 3. Foul goals—Sara Smith 3; Wyletta Elliott 3. Charleston Game. With the games standing one and one, the Green and White met the Memminger Normal School girls in Charleston. This game was to decide the trip a success or otherwise, and here it was that Stetson put up its best fight. Like the game in Savannah, this contest was decided by one point, but this time Stetsonians had the big end of the score. Naturally the victory was by no means decisive. In fact had the Charleston team been as good at free throws as shooting from the field the score would doubtless been reversed. The score at the end of the first half stood Stetson 12 to Charleston 11. A belated rally almost swept the Stetson girls off their feet, but they in VESPER SERVICE. Sunday afternoon as the day was drawing to a close the chimes announced the hour of Vespers. The prelude, Frenlandia, (Sibe- lus) played by Miss Baker opened the service. A solo, In My Father's House are Many Mansions, rendered by Mr. Reimer, followed the reading of the Scriptures. Dr. Hulley delivered the long expected sermon on the subject of "Jonah." Dr. Hulley showed that the Book of Jonah taught the lesson of divinity, that it brought out the nobility of Jonah's life and the infinite mercy of God. The Vesper Choir closed the splendid service by singing Hark Hark, My Soul. O PI BETA PHIS ENTERTAINED Tuesday afternoon the Pi Beta Phi girls and their pledges were delightfully entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Solomon at their home on Michigan avenue. After a pleasant social hour the guests were invited into the parlors which were beautifully decorated with asparagus and a profusion of nas- turtians, and roses. The shades were pulled and the lights turned on so as to make the effect most pleasing. A musical program was rendered in which the girls participated. Miss Louise Hulley—two piano solos. Miss Hazel Fisk—vocal solo. Miss Harriet Snyder—a piano solo. Miss Marina Harvey—a vocal solo. Miss Marjorie Blocker—a reading Miss Julia Church—two readings. After the program delicious refreshments were served consisting of fruit salad and saltines, olives, sandwiches, socoa, mints and candies. The tea table was presided over by Miss Mona Bates with the able assistance of the Misses Christine Widermn, Mabel Eldridge and Louise Hulley. Mrs. Solomon's affairs are always a success but this was voted the "best ever." o PHI KAPPA DELTA ENTERTAINS VARSITY DEEEATS KEEWATIN FIVE ST. AUGUSTINE LADS PUT UP PLUCKY BUT HOPELESS FIGHT. Second Game on Trip Lost to the Jacksonville Y. M. C. A. Team Both games decided by Margin of One Basket. Continued on Page 4 On Wednesday afternoon between the hours of 3:30 and 4:30 the Phi Kappa Delta Fraternity entertained its Patrons at an informal reception. Refreshments consisting of ice cream and cake were served, and every one had a jolly good time. -o GREEN ROOM CLUB TO HAVE TRY-OUTS Friday evening at eight o'clock the Green Room Club will hold try-outs to cast the annual College Play. This will be the most difficult play ever produced by the Club and every one should come out and try to make the cast. A large cast is needed and all the parts are good ones, so all you actors be sure to be at the auditorium Friday evening, Feb. 4, at eight o'clock. o Miss Helen Drew was among those visiting Orlando during the week end. Wednesday morning the varsity 10 strong, made its departure for vSt. Augustine where the big Green Team conquered the strong and husky warriors of Keewatin. The game was one of the most gruelling encounters ever staged in the Ancient City. It was an uphill affair for the Varsity, as the score at the end of the first half will indicate. Because of the magnificent team work of Keewatin the Stetsonians were unable to score a field goal during this half and four points scored were from the foul line. Keewatin scored 13 points mostly thru the ability of one Robertson, who played a stellar game for Keewatin. It might here be said that Keewatin has a team that is worthy of serious consideration wherever they take the floor. The personnel of the Keewatin Team consists of such men as Guyon, who played fullback for Carlisle Indians when they won the football championship of the east. In addition to this, Steele and Robertson are men that will doubtless be heard from before their athletic career be finished. Stetson took the field in. the second half with determination to overcome their opponents' lead of 9 points and by making good use of their plays and team work succeeded in overcoming their opponents and passing them by 2 points just as the whistle blew for the final count. For Stetson Palmer played his usual game at forward, scoring 2 field goals and 7 foul goals. Hollander was very much in evidence scoring 6 points for Stetson. The final score was Stetson 19, Keewatin 17. Stetson. R. Forward—Palmer. L. Forward—Minter. Center—Miller. R. Guard—Hollander. L. Guard—Walker. Keewatin. R. Forward—Robertson L. Forward—Board.
