Bert Fish, U. S. Minister to Egypt, who spoke to the student body at Chapel Tuesday. He was a member of the first graduating class of the College of Law and has been a prominent figure in local and state affairs for many years. The Hon. Mr. Fish gave a brief account of the history of modern Egypt, with its struggle for independence, and then spoke of the present government. He told of the young King Farouk I and of his father, the late King Fuad, first independent ruler of Egypt for over two thousand years. Mr. Fish spoke at some length on the intricate court system of Egypt, much of the complexity of which is caused by the peculiar religious heterogeneity of the country. Of great interest to all was his account of an average day in the life of a foreign minister in Cairo, with its many duties and obligatory social functions. The Minister extended a special welcome to all Stetsonites who should happen to come to Cairo. He emphasized the friendly relations that exist betw-gen Egypt and the United States, partly as a result of our ^friendly offices in abol- .-JstHng" certain hindrances on their independence. Prayer wa offered by the Rev. W. Clyde Smith, pastor of the First Christian Church of DeLand, and the benediction was pronounced by Bishop Henry DeLand Leete, nephew cf Henry A. DeLand, founder of the city and the school.

Friday night when the Hatters will meet the Rollins Tars on Tinker Field in Orlando at 8 p.m., marking the 16th meeting of the two teams in a rivalry begun in 1905; 12 of them have been won by Stetson. Swan songs will be sung by five Stetson seniors whose collegiate gridiron careers will be over when the final whistle is sounded. They are: Captain Emmett Clonts, Dick Branham, Doug Cudmore, Jimmy Dickson and Ed "Cuddles" Furlong, leaving vacancies in the Hatter squad that will be hard to fill. Furlong was forced from the game earlier in the season due to injuries. According to Gaylord Kenyon, manager, the University band will make the trip; however, it is not known if it will make an exhibition- of maneuvers at the half. The Tars, one of the few college teams in the country whose rosters list one senior member, have so far compiled a comparatively enviable record, having won over South Georgia State, Soutneastern Louisiana, Wofford, Oglethorpe, and Tampa, while losing to Ohio •^-S&leyan and Millsaps. With" this string of wins staring them in the.face, the Hatters will not be considered favorites even though they defeated Tampa and lost to Oglethorpe in a close game. In battling the "playboys," Coach Cowell's men will face an aggregation which boasts fourteen letter- men, who entered this year's "Little Four" race as the dark horses. Although the Tars have not played Miami during the current season, they now hold first place in the "Little Four" contest by virtue of their win over Tampa. The Spartans took. Miami into camp, who in turn bored a hole in Stetson's hat. The outcome of Friday night's meeting will therefore determine Florida's "Little Four" champions for 1937. With last year's 13 to 0 defeat at the hands of the Tars still ringing in their ears, the Hatters took the field Monday afternoon in a revengeful mood, determined to return to Hattertown with a Tar scalp dangling from their belts, plus a season's winning average of more than .500. The return of Lyn Warren to the Stetson lineup last Thursday after a six weeks': absence, somewhat bolstered the squad's hopes of staging a long range aerial attack i which, if effective, should leave the fans with plenty to talk about. Coming through the Mississippi Coiiege game without injuries, the Green and White boys will be in j fine shape for the all-important battle. Ed Mason, however, is still nursing a twisted knee suffered earlier in the season. The "Playboys"' are said to possess a fast charging line and several hard running backs. Gillespie has done admirable work as a blocking back while Brady, Kirby, and Justice have carried the ball with better than average results. Dick Turk has been mentioned in the news columns several time for his brilliant work at center. \
