DR. HUTCHINS SPEAKS
LAST OF CHAPEL ASS'N
LECTURES THIS SEASON
MOTION PICTURE SHOWN
Talks On   "Mountain Problem"
Existing In Mountain States
of the South.
As the final addrrsr, of the season
given under the auspices of the Rollins College Chapel Association,
President William J. Hutchins, of
Berea College, Kentucky, spoke last
Sunday evening in the Baby Grand
Theatre of the "Mountain Problems,"
discussing in a most interesting and
informative manner, the mountaineers of eight Southern States. The
lecture, illustrated by motion pictures, was largely attended by students of Rollins College and the
guests   of  the   tourist  hotels.
In beginning his description of the
mountaineers, Dr. Hutchins, who is
one of the country's foremost social
workers, told of the isolation of these
people, describing the roads as being
worse than those of India. He assigned this as the chief cause of the
colossal ignorance found among the
mountain people. Their language, he
said, was unique in that it is more
purely Saxon than that of any other
section of this country and contains
many expressions and words characteristically Shakespearean or from
Chaucer. The music of these people
is another indication of their extreme
isolation since it is composed mainly
of a large number of old English
ballads describing outstanding events
in the early history of England.
No section of the country can boast
of a more thrifty people, said Dr.
Hutchins. The woman occupy their
extra time weaving, some of their
products being the most beautiful on
record. Often, an entire year is spent
on one piece of handwork. The men
are in the main, farmers, but on account of business abilities they earn
only a few dollars a year.
Dr. Hutchins characterized the
mountaineers as a profoundly religious, loyal but superstitious people.
He told of their intense loyalty in
time of war. The solution of the
"Mountain problem" is through
Christian Education, said the speaker, and it is the only means of liberating this fine stock of American
citizenry from the bonds of ignorance
Berea College, of which Dr. Williams is president, has at the present

Tars Are Defeated In
2 Games With Gators
Monday and Tuesday
SCORE IS 6-2 AND 6-4
Though Rallying Tuesday, Tars
Are Unable To Stage
a Comeback
Playing on the local diamond, the
Tars lost both baseball games with
Florida, Monday's game by the score
of 6 to 2, Tuesday's game, 6 to 4.
Though the Tars by excellent playing
were able to lead the Gators 3 to 2
until the ninth inning of Tuesday's
return game, the University men
staged a rally in this stage of the
struggle, scoring a single run across
the home plate, tying the score. The
tenth inning saw the Gainesville players scoring three more times, giving
them a lead which the Tars were unable to overcome in the last half of
the inning, though they struggled
gamely to do so. However, nnp mor?
run was added to the score of the
Tars by Bill Ashborne, leaving the
final result 6 to 4.
First Game.
The Florida Gators scored a well
earned victory on the local field on
Monday afternoon before a large
number of spectators, when they defeated the Tars to the tune of 6 to
2. Though playing well, the Rollinites
could not quite equal the work of the
visitors when it came to knocking the
pill down the field.
The game opened with Bangs of
Florida at bat, and some excellent
hitting by the Gainesville men soon
brought in two runs across the platter during the first inning.
Starring for Rollins, Raymond Colado was able to score one run in the
early stages of the struggle, but except for another run by Taylor in the
sixth, the locals were unable to advance the score further during the
remainder of the game. Taylor's
round was the result of a temporary
rally in the sixth inning on the part
of the Rollins crew, which for a short
time seemed to indicate that the four
run score of the Gains-villians might
at least be equaled.
The final score was 6 to 2 with Rollins at the short end of the horn.
Second Game.
Friday saw the game between the
Gators  and   the   Tars   stretched   out
to ten  innings, the  struggle  looking

REPRESENTATIVES OF
FOUR COLLEGES MEET
IN Y. W. CONVENTION
TAKES PLACE AT ROLLINS
Purpose Is To Prepare Cabinets
For Problems Arising During  College  Year.
Friday of last week delegates from
Southern College, Stetson University
and Florida State College for Women met with the Rollins Y. W. C.
A. for a Cabinet Training Council.
The purpose of this conference was
to train the cabinets of these Christian Organizations to meet the various problems that arise during the
course of the college year.
A business session opened the conference Friday night at which time,
committees were appointed to take
care of the various phases of the
work during the meetings. Miss
Stacy of Southern College was elected chairman for the meetings.
An Open Forum was held Saturday
morning in charge of Miss Glass, of
Tallahassee, the Campus Secretary
for the State of Florida, and Miss
Gladys Bryson, Nashville Student Secretary for the entire South. Several
new ideas were presented at this
time for the girls to enlarge upon
during the coming year.
As a recreational feature, the Rollins girls took the delegates on a picnic, Saturday afternoon. Supper
was cooked over a blazing fire and
every effort spent to show the visitors the wonders that adjoin the
Rollins  campus.
Sunday was ushered in by a Sunrise Prayer Service and breakfast on
Lake Virginia. At eleven o'clock,
that morning Dr. Harry Ingham, of
the Winter Park Methodist Church,
held special services in the Woman's
Club which was attended by the delegates in  a  body.
The final session was held Sunday
afternoon, at which time it was decided that these meetings be continued in the future, and that the Y. W.
organizations   in   this   state   join   in
akinf the delegation to Blue Ridge
one of the largest in the entire South.
Blue Ridge is the scene of an annual conference of delegates from
the Southern States during which
some of the most prominent lecturers and social workers are heard.
Florida has always been very active
along these lines, and by the action
taken at the meeting last week, even
further future action  will  be  taken
Tars Win 1, Stetson
1, In Baseball Series
On Deland Diamond
GOOD WORK IS SHOWN
First Game Is Lost, But Following Day's Event Is Victory For Tars.
A win apiece was the result of the
series of two games between the Rollins baseball artists and those of Stetson, on the Deland field March 13th
and 14th. The Tars lost the first
encounter with the Hatters to the
tune of 9 to 1, but on the following day
journeyed back to Deland determined
to make up for the preceeding day's
defeat. As a result Stetson was defeated 7 to 1.
First Game.
Both teams playing brilliant but
scoreless ball up to the last of the
seventh inning, seemed to indicate
that no high score would be run up
by either side in Tuesday's fray between the Hatters and the Tars on the
Deland diamond. However, at this
time Stetson, with two men out, started bunting, and when the smoke had
cleared away three runs had been
scored by the Hatters.
In the eighth inning Rollins was
able to score the only run of the
game, while Stetson was able to add
six more points to her score before
Taylor relieved Rodenbaugh as pitcher
for Rollins team.
Throughout the game both teams
gave an exhibition of hard hitting and
pretty fielding.
Second Game.
On Wednesday, March 14th, the Tar
baseball aggregation came back after
Tuesday's 9 to 1 defeat, and trounced
the Deland crew on their on their own
diamond by a score of 7 to 1.
The Stetson tossers scored their
lone tally in the second inning when
Hooper walked to first, stole escond,
and went to third on a fielder's choice,
finally coming in on a sacrifice by
Tatum. The score was tied in the
next inning by the Rollins team, and
from then on the Tars outplayed their
opponents both at bat and in the field,
scoring occasionally until the final
score of 7 to 1 was piled up.
Handley and R. Colado starred for
the Tars, the former pitching a wonderful game, the latter many times
picking up apparently impossible
grounders along the third base line.
