"Florida's Oldest College Newspaper 65th YEAR STETSON UNIVERSITY, DELAND, FLORIDA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1951 NO. 4 Hatters Tuned Up For Spartan Tilt Revenge will be high in the minds of the Stetson Hatters tomorrow night when they face, their arch- rivals the University of Tampa YSpartans. Last year the Spartans dropped the Hatters 27-20 for one of the two losses that Stetson suffered. This will be the fourteenth meeting of the two teams, in a scries that started back in 1933, with the Hatters holding a 7-5 edge in the won and lost column; one game ended in a tie. Tampa has recorded three wins this season, defeating Patrick Air Base 72-0, Jacksonville Teachers 30-0 and last week dropped a strong Lenoir Rhyne eleven 27 to 14. Thev were downed bv Bradley 6-32 and Wofford 14-21.' The improvement of the team has "been strongly emphasized by Spartan coach Frank S'inkwich, who was confident that their biggest hurdle for the season is behind them. As far as the team itself, the Spartans have a defensive line that is equal to Furman's in both weight and strength, backed up by one of the best defensive baekfields in the state. On offense their fleet back- field is paced by speed merchant Lou Sequella, who picked up 376 yards in Tampa in the first four games. Charles Harris holds the other halfback slot with John Lath osky at quarterback, and Jim Ma- this at full to round out the next to lightning-fast backfield. The Hatters will find the going rough as they returned from South Carolina battered and bruised. On the doubtful list are Dave Laude with a knee injury and Herb Werner with a badly bruised elbow. The brighter side of the picture shows the return to practice of Willie Han, Jerry Gallagher and Jerry Hopkins, but just how much action they may be able to see is a Question mark. Coach McMullen announced that the Tampa team will arrive today ' in order to be well rested for the game. Hats Invade Storm Warning Area And I^op^Ganes- 21*20 ' The almost impossible happened! Nobody would expect a hat to withstand the might of a hurricane, but with the amazing Stetson Hatters things are different, as they proved with their startling 21 to 20 ■up- Set of the Furman Purple Hurricanes last Friday night in Greenville. The small, underdog- Hatters fought, the Hurricanes to a standstill as they matched them touchdown for touchdown with Don Martin's successful conversions making the slim margin of victory. Through then entire game the fighting Hatters kept Furman hard pressed, with a last minute touchdown by the Hurricanes the only thing to keep Stetson from winning by a larger margin. There was no doubt in the minds of the eleven Hatters who-took the field for the opening whistle as to what they were out there for as ill five plays they covered 70 yar.ds for a touchdown. Joe Raf- faele grabbed the kickoff and scooted 24-yards to the Hatter's 38, where Werner and Armstrong teamed together for a first down only to have the. ball brought back fifteen ■ yards on a penalty. Then- the fireworks started with Fulmer Armstrong breaking through right tackle and ambling 46-yards to Furman's 30-yard marker. Gene Bowden followed with a 19-yard gain and Werner added a few more to the six-yard line where Arm- st'rdng bulled'his way through to pay-dirt. Martin split the crossbars and the Hatters lead 7-0. The remainder of the first quarter and until the final four-minutes of the half the battle raged between the two; then Furrnan scored with Piner carrying from six yards out. Watts conversion was good and the score was dead-locked 7-7. No scoring resulted from the bruising play of the third quarter or the first five minutes of the final period, but at that time Furman started to click and went into the lead with Sutton rambling 23- yards on a pitch-out into scoring territory. Walt Golde broke through' and blocked the try for M.E.N.C. Develops Active Program ; What is the MENC?

But the Hatters were not to be denied and crane roaring back with Johnson flipping a nine-yard pass to Herb Werner, landing the ball on the 38-yard line. The next play brought more comment than any other in the game as Johnson faded back and threw a pass which was struck at by three Furman men only to fall into the waiting arms of Werner,, who raced 61- yards to score. Martin again put the Hatters in the lead 14-13. Moments' later Guido Tambur intercepted a" Hurricane pass and the Hatters were rolling again. A fourth down pass good for 11- yards' from Johnson to Laude set the stage for Werner's 13-yard journey across the double stripe, and with Martin's perfect kick the Hatters jumped to a 21 to 13 advantage. That left only four minutes in the game and with the kickoff m fumbled and the Hurricanes took over "but could not gain arid as the gun sounded the ball was again in Stetson hands, , It could easily be said that all 20 Hatters that saw action were heroes rather than , any one player, but the kicking of, Don Martin who has now completed 17 conversion in ?a row without a miss Sororities Start Formal Rush Period Sunday GLORIA NIX Activity on M?ount Olympus is regenerating as the Goddesses make plans for another rush season.

Hatter Glee Club Featured At B.S.IL Tampa Convention A joyful group of Stetsonites, 63 to he exact, piled out of the Green Monster bus in Tampa on the afternoon of October 12. Were they here for. a football game ? No. Were they here for a Glee CluB Concert? No, although the Glee Club was so well represented that a bystander might have thought so. Well, why: were they here? They, along iswith about three-hundred other students from all of the campuses in Florida, had come for the BSU Convention which was . to last from October 12 through the 14th. The place in Tampa where they piled out was the First Baptist Church. Here they were - assigned to the homes of the church members where, they were to stay during the weekend. After finding their respective homes and freshening up a bit, these students met back at the church for the first meeting of the Convention. The special music of the evening was the singing of "My God Arid I" by a choir made up of Stetson students. J. P. Allen from Virginia, who was at Stetson for Religious Focus Week last year,, brought the message of the evening. Bright and early Saturday morning seminars were held on various, subjects which are important to college students. After the seminars, Stetson's own Bill Holley sang as a solo "Precious [Lord, Take My Hand" and was followed by the speaker of the morning, Rev. Stallings from Ocala. Saturday afternoon the Florida £SU met in a business session at which time the officers for the coming year were elected. The ones on the slate from Stetson are as follows: George ■ Shriver as president, Bill Holley as chorister, and Mary Carol West as Secretary. The highlight of the whole weekend was the Saturday evening service led by Jack Noffsinger, pastor of the First Baptist Church, Gainesville. He challenged each student at the convention by asking "Is Christ truly real to you in your campus life?" He made wonderful analogies of what Jesus would be like; if He lived today on the campuses of Florida. He challenged each student to be more Christ-like on his campus. Many of the sfu'dents made the decision to make Jesus real to them in. every phase of their lives. The Convention was closed with the Sunday morning church service in which Kcrnie Kcegan, South- wide leader of Baptist Student work, ^poke on the subject "My Christ Is Adequate." After eating dinner 63 students, tired but contented in spite of world conditions, crawled into the Green Monster for the return trip to' Stetson—each one determined to be better students, and better citizens of John B. Stetson University.
