Time and aeain the Legino team "held the col legians for downs, and the whole team proved a power of strength j on defense. Due to lack of practice, j their interference was ragged at ; times, but on a number of occasions they were able to puncture their ' opponents' line for substantial gains. : It was unfortunate that such a . small crowd turned out to witness such an excellent exhibition of the fall sport. Stetson by "Pug" Allen, a former Georgia Tech half back, used the famous Haisemanj shift, and while slightly disconcerting to the locals in the first quarter, they quickly solved it, and from that time on Stetson, was at no time within the shadow of Palatka's goal. The excellent team work of the locals was due entirely to the gen eralship of Louis Tenney, former University of Florida star half back, and captain. The tackling of Merri am, at left tackle, Pat Anderson at left end, Fisher and Holden at right end was especially commendable, while Dowda, and Bogue, right and left guards respectively, repeatedly tore holes in the Stetson line, for the backs to follow on through. Mal lory Sanford, at center, ualying his first game of football, proved to be a veritable find. Shearouse at quar ter, made several splendid end runs, that were fully equalled by the line plunging proclivities of Browning and Tenney. Emmet Greene, former Seventh Division star end in the army of occupation, over in the land where Kaiser Bill lost his job, per formed at full back, and demonstrat ed that he can play not only a star game at end, but an equally star game at full back. Macdonald officiated as referee, Florida Ties Up With Carolina In Exciting Contest Tampa, Nov. 5. Played off their feet in the first period when South Carolina marched eighty yards to a touchdown in eighteen plays, Florida came bacli, forced Carolina behind her goal post, blocked and recovered a kick there for a touchdown, tieing the score and then battered the game cocks back into a corner inside their own thirty yard line. The game end ed with the score 7 to 7.

Knight, Agent, Belt Auto Insurance Co., Dear Sir: ' I want to thank you and your company, the Belt Auto Insurance Company, for your promptness in adjusting my claim for collision with H. A. Osgood, amounting to more than $100 on the two cars. I appreciate the promptness with which you handled this matter. v It has been a good many years since I carried Auto Insurance for the reason that the rates have been almost prohibitive. Besides I have never had any but minor accidents and felt that, with careful driving. I would be ahead by carrying my own insurance, but when you showed me the low rates your company was offerins, I bit and am glad I did, as this total claim would very likely have fallen on me. I am going to stay "BIT." Again thanking you for your attention, I am, ' Very truly, ED. M.
