COACHES DRILL SQUAD CoweJl and Clemons Seek to Develop Scoring Punch Coming through the Florida scrap with few injuries, the Hatters are now pointing to their tilt with the football representatives of South Georgia Teachers College Friday night. This game, to be played on Hulley Field, and the Rollins-South Georgia State contest will be the only college football games within the state on Friday night. Coaches Brady Cowell and Ben Clemons have been scrimmaging the boys against the frosh, trying to improve the offense and smooth rough edges on defense. However, the varsity still had trouble making gains through a scrappy freshman line. Only minor injuries were received by Hatter players with fullback Russell Dast sustaining a, painful lime burn. However, he and Cliff Parmley will be available for service on the week-end. Dick Sauls .is wearing, tape on an injured ankle but hopes to be there when the Georgia boys come to town. The Stetson team, which held Florida scoreless for an entire second half, will not have a snap in subduing the Teachers. "The Georgians have a reputation for fast, scrappy aggregations. But the Hatters have shown ability before a savage Gator attack and should make the best of their experience.

Green and White Woefully Lacking in Offensive Strength HATTERS ARE GAME Put Up Finje Defensive Battle in Second Half By BOB HEEBNER Stetson University's gallant gridsters were defeated last Saturday night by a superior. University of Florida eleven, 21-0. A sise- able Hatter delegation was among the crowd of 5000 fans who braved a damp night, in Gainesville to witness the contest. All of the scoring was done in the first half with the first touchdown resulting from a pass well in the first quarter from Stetson's 1 yard line. The other two six- pointers w£re made in the second quarter, tiie first taken over by Reen afterlj a, series of line plays, and the second the result of a 17 yard pass jjto Cahill. All three placement kicks for the extra point were good, i; < The Hatters fought fiercely throughout the entire fray but the Gators, shoeing more spirit than last year, ■'were too much for the green clad Stetsonites. Although not very | successful at offensive play the Hatters settled down to finee defensive football in the second half. Stetson s offense clicked only once wjhen in the last period advances by Carroll Green, Lanier Smith, and Benny Smith resulted in a first down. No one player could be picked as the star of the Stetson team, all playing :a fighting brand of football. Russell Darst lived up to the expectations he earned last ytar as a ball carrier, and he was aided ably by Lanier Smith, Benny Smith, and Carroll Green. Ed May was consistently good with his boots but a wet ball hindered his passing efficiency. Stetson's defensive play was sparkplugged by Frank Buchanan and Ed Hughes, with Captain Coon Cheatham, Bob Gaughn, Dick Sauls, and Al Herring doing good work. Florida's power was apparent in the initial quarter when their first touchdown was registered. An exchange of punts left the Gators on Stetson's 4? yard line and Harrison drove^ thrbugh left tackle for 5 yards, Gadii Lawton making the stop. On the next play Ed May tackled Harrison btautifully but not until he had, broken .-through to the 32 yard, line for a first down. Hughes JI and Vann stopped the next thrustj|!for no gain, then a fake throughl |. center was good for 4 yards. Another cut through left tackle carried the ball to the 20 and Setson called time out. The next play thrciijigh center netted little gain but d jjright end run put the ball on Ste'ts6h's 10. ''Then drives by Tate,and Goff took the ball within two.,yards of the pay line, but with this',threat the Hatter line tightened1 nobly, Captain Cheatham and Harold Vann broke through to midge, the enemy back a yard but then] la well timed pass acoss the goal line to Charlie Tate
