ins vs. Stetson.
U. of F. VICTORIOUS.
The most important game of the year, so far, comes off Saturday af¬ ternoon. Rollins again witli a hun¬ dred or more ''rooters" will crowd the Stetson grand stand and with their loyal, ringing cheers will again completely outclass the Stetson yell¬ ing. Stetson will learn that solo work on the side line is a mig*hty lit¬ tle inspiration to a team. It's too late to arrange a rooters' club now, but let every Stetson man be present on the field willing to do his level best and show by your presence that you are back of your men.  ^-.-^ '¦

Easily Shut Up.

AVliite   and   Green   Lose    Game    by One    Point.
In the hardest game this season Stetson suffers defeat at Gainesville by the close score of 6-5. The toe of the Gainesville man is all that pre¬ vented the honors being even, both sides having scored a touch down. Botts who, up to that game, had kicked every goal attempted, failed to make good.
Practically speaking the game was a tie, both teams were equally matched and no walkover resulted for either side. Coach Colton was very much chagrined with the Stetson showing, and lays the censure, not so much for losing the first collegiate game, but for the spirit with which the team went away, upon the entire student body. Simply because we have won every¬ thing, so far, and by large scores, too much confidence has been infused and our expectations were too high. It is not the proper send off to tell them it they don't win by so much never to come back; such talk will ruin any team.
Debate  Postponed.
I     That the attendants might    not miss
the lecture Saturday night, the S. L. S.
convened at 6:45, three quarters of an
, hour before the   schedule   time.      The
] debate on the subject   of    Compulsory
Education in  Florida,   was    postponed
I owing to the   failure of    the    negative
I side to appear.      The    rest of the pro-
I gram, as planned, was faithfully carried
I out to the    satisfaction of    the    entire I • ...
' club, and adjourned    in   sufficient time
' to hear Dr. Grant.
Ballad    Concert.
For the benefit of the organ fund of the Episcopal church a ballard concert will be given Saturday evening in the auditorium. Admission is 35 and 15 cents.
! Oh, to make the world seem brighter, Be our mission  day by day; Oh, to make someone more happy As   he   struggles   on  his   way. Just to make the path seem smoother For  a  isoul  that's  wearied,  sore; Just to do  some act  of kindness, Though   unheard   forevermore.
Mass Meeting in Gym.
Over  100 Fellowrs   Present   Stirred
by Speeches.     Durrance,   Ne'w
Cheer     Leader.
The question of Stetson college spirit was again strongly assailed 111 a big meeting in the gym, Wednesday noon. For the past two years the growing listlessness and indolence of the student body has been marked and the time has come for everybody to wake up. Coach Colton started the affair off with the stirring assertion that Stetson athletic enthusiasm had fallen so that a member of the team, smothering his pride and disgust, must summon the student body and beg of it to support the team. The severe criticisms flung at the men in the squad were then discussed, showing not only their untruthfulness but the entire ignorance of those who have thus been talking. "The old members of the team don't give a rap at what the rooters or sideline say, the coach doesn't lose a bit of sleep over these criticisms,but it's the new men who are weak. These things cut them and they are doing their best. If we can't get the old spirit of three or four years ago, we might as well quit. In the three games, this year, how many students have been present, how much cheering has gone on? What we must have, if we win, is that old Stetson spirit!"
"Uncle Dan" then took the floor. "I care not for the team we had two years ago; I care not for the team we had one year ago or any year ago! I want the team we have now, and that is the team I'm behind!" At his mo¬ tion Durrance was elected cheer leader and took the floor, making but a short talk. Wednesday night was set apart for the first practice, and all who mean business come out.
A few remarks from the coach, in regard to the college yells and cheers and not individual ragging from the lines, closed the meeting.
Let every Stetson man get behind this movement and Saturday when Rollins meets us on the gridiron, let every man on the team feel and hear the backing of the entire school.
