This sentimental comedy in three acts, directed by Dr. Irving _C. Stover and Miss "Willie Dee Willian, is laid in England at the time of the Napoleanic Wars. About three . months elapses in the story between the time that the curtain rises and falls. ,,#;' The play concentrates on Mrs. Bennett's determination to marry off her daughters, Jane, Elizabeth, and Lydia. They are all likely looking grls in an unlikely period when a woman's one possible career is matrimony. Jane with her Mr. Bingley, and Lydia with her Mr. Wickham are quite content with the good of things as. they are.

FLORIDA DEFEATS HATTER CAGERS Take First Game in State Race from Former Champs The University of /Florida cagers scored a surprise upset by defeating the Hatters 39-27 in Gainesville Monday night. The Gators took the lead at the opening tip-off and never relinguished it. At the half the Gators were out front by the score of- 23-10. Stet' son pulled up within eight points of Florida at one-time making it 24- 16 but the Gator attack suddenly came to life and the outcome was never in doubt. Whiddon, sharpshooting guard, led the Florida scoring parade with six field goals and two free throws for a total of fourteen-points. Cha- son played a fine floor game for the Gators and it was his fine defensive play that helped spell defeat for the Hatters. The Hatters were unable to sink many of the set-lip shots that they had. Perhaps the springy baskets were responsible for some of this but in general they were not play- es Nemic, Harrison Drew, and Rob- ing the game of which they are cap- ert "Bobby" Burns, outstanding' able of playing.
