HURRICANES MEET FIRST DEFEAT
SPRING HILL WINS VICTORY
Buck’s Men Fight Every Second and Whistle Stops Score
We lost! One could hear a long sieh and then a shout from the small group of Mobile fans as ¡hev realized they were the first school to send the Hurricanes down to defeat in the history of the school. The score was 6-0 favoring the Spring Hill team and they won the game fair and square. The Mobile lads flashed a backfield that had power and drive coupled with a strong defense that proved to be a match for the locals.
True it is that there are more ways of scoring a touchdown than by blocked kicks, but blocked kicks are just as much a part of football as errors are a part of baseball. It was Spring Hill’s swift charge, alertness, and keen scent for a rolling ball as much a< Miami’s failure to protect her ' kicker that decided the game.
Only ip the final period with the sand running fast out of the time glass did the Hurricanes show a flash of offensive power that the fans had waited for. They took the ball in midfield with but 5 minutes to play and carried it to | the 2 foot line where the whistle alone stopped the locals from scor- ! ing. Courtney ran the team in great style that last five minutes. Two completed passes coupled with some excellent plunging by Bleier, Franklin, and Mills completely bewildered the Spring Hill team. For the first time during the aft-■ ernoon the Hurricanes’ line was charging with power.
True it is that the officials gave Miami five downs to complete a first down but the excitement of the game would have made any one excited. Even the professors and other ordinary unexcitable persons were nigh hysterical.
The Hurricanes proved they could fight with their backs to the «’¡ill. All the world loves a fighter and the Miami team though beaten gained the respect of all Miami. The Spring Hill coach said “They displayed the finest and truest sportsmanship I ever came across.”
The star of the game without a dottbt was Rod Ashman. The lad from Wisconsin stopped every thing that came his way and not contented with that carried the ball for several good gains. Kimbrough and Lindstrom played their usual good game on defense, franklin, Courtney and Bleier were the chief ground gainers.
The Spring Hill aggregation showed a well balanced team to the fans. McEvoy is the best punter seen on the field this year. His punts were well directed and had height and distance. Ryan played a hangup game for the visitors. stopping the journeys of Cliff and Franklin too often. Douville played a great game at tackle. He alone was responsible for the Hurricanes’ defeat. Not only did this chap block Cliff’s punts but he also recovered it. Blase proved to a l)ard hitting back as we have seen in some moons. Roach directed their play in great style
f ,, to his laurels with his all toting ability.

NEXT GAME IS WITH STETSON
Hatter’s Squad Expected To Give Hurricanes A Good Battle
The Hatters squad will arrive1 here from DeLand, Fla., Friday afternoon for one of the most im-1 portant tilts of the year. The I Stetson’s record is very impressive i having toppled Auburn 6-0 fol-1 lowing up with victories over! Newberry, 24-0; Rollins 75-0; tied j with Southern College 6-6.
Last year the Hurricanes beat the Stetson frosh team and are determined to send the Hatters back again with a defeat. Stetson, this year has plenty of stars in her lineup. Bernard and Freedman are her two best bets in their backfield. It was Freedman who sent the Auburn team to defeat. Lowenthal, their big fullback, comes here with a great reputation as $ line plunger.
The biggest crowd of the year is expected out to see the battle. A large group of Stetson alumni in town are making preparations to entertain their old schoolmates. Many of the Stetson students intend to migrate here for the game.
It will mean a lot to Miami tiam to cop the next battle with Stetson. If they send Stetson hack a defeated team it will certainly add to the Hurricanes prestige in Florida and also Southern football circles.

University Hopes To Obtain Several Eight-Oared Shells
The University will soon have a number of eight-oared racing shells if the plans of the Southern Florida Boat Racing Association, through its secretary Dr. De I Garmo Gray, carry through.
Dr. Gray recently made a trip to Philadelphia for the purpose of securing racing shells. Chief Justice Taft of the Supreme Court of the United States, is assisting Dr Gray in procuring them.
If everything goes through a« planned the University of Miami will be among the few universities carrying rowing as a regular sport.
Our facilities for carrying on this sport are excellent due to the innumerable waterways winding throughout Coral Gables.
Racing eight-oared shells is one of the most strenuous of college sports and necessitates strong, well-trained men of great stamina.
Due to the fact that racing is prevalent mainly in the North and in the far West, it will be necessary for the University of Miami to compete against these teams, which will mean the beginning of competition between the North and South in rowing and will also help to develop
friendly divisional relationships.
