ception coupled with a defense that the Hurricanes could not break through. That certain person, Mr. Bernard, field general deluxe of the Hatters, proved to be the big noise in the Hatters’ attack, scoring three touchdowns and hooting over four out of five attempted extra points for a total of 22 points. In addition to that he passed the pigskin successfully pin» out of twelve attempts. His passes were bulletlike and to the right spot. Freeman was his part-

Their line had no outstanding ears. Everyone played his position as it should be plaved. When th»ir backs wanted a hole, there was one. On defense they stopped the Hurricanes’ attack before th»v were evpn started.

M. and Y. W. C. A. conference held at Jackson Heights, the Jacksonville Y camp, over the last weekend. Delegates from the University of Miami were Mrs. Howard P. Buck, girls’ counselor; Miss Mary B. Merritt, instructor in English; Mary Vann and Pauline Spofford, students.
“Improvement in Curricula” and “The Relationship Between Men and Women” were the main topics of discussion, with members of the faculty of each university leading various groups of students. The small conference divisions later joined, forming larger groups where ideas were exchanged and mutual problems talked over.
Various leaders in local, state and national Y work were present,

The Hurricanes plaved their worst defensive game of the year. Miami men would tackle the Stet-»wrv and add more yardage to their gains. The tackling was very po»r.
Th» Bernard to Freeman pass combination baffled the locals.
Conrtnev’s work at the safety position on defense was the only redeeming feature of the Hurri-I /apes’ elav coupled with Ash-| 'man’s, Bleier’s and Kimbrough’s defensive play. Exactly four times Cliff faced the problem of being the only man between the Stetson runner and the goal, and exactly four times Cliff stopped their advances.
Miami’s biggest gain during scrimmage was a pass that Cliff tossed to Ashman. Cliff ran back one of Bernard’s punts 25 vprds as the game closed, which just snout totaled more yardage than the rest of the gains for the day.

Clarke has his own ideas about education. He believes in the Oxford system. He went through grammar and high schools in seven years because he could do the work in that time.
Last year he misled two months of school and yet nis marks were above the average. That, he believes. proves that the Oxford system is practical even to Americans. Another of his theories is that examinations are not a fair test of knowledge. The purpose of the examination is to make the studelfPTeam and the best way to make him learn is to give him a set of questions, some of which will be on the examination. In that way, by answering the questions the student will cover all the work and will have sdme assurance of making a good grade because he'knows what to study.

Members of Rho Beta Omicron, public speaking fraternity, held their second banquet last Friday night at the Coral Gables Golf and Country Club. Louise Falli-gant made a very brilliant speech as the first speaker of the evening. She dwelled upon the opportunity that the members of the public speaking classes at the University had within their possession and emphasized the fact that they make the most of their opportunity. Miss Falligant then turned the meeting over to the toastmistress, I^ona Mathews who cleverly reminisced the first ban-ouet and then introduced Franklin Albert. Mr. Albert spoke on modern youth, dealing with the fact that had youth and age a more sympathetic understanding between them many of the present ill-feelings could be overcome,
Claire Cohen gave a most interesting speech on the evolution of books. Treating her subject in a historical way, Miss Cohen held the attention by the travelogue style in which she spoke.
The toastmistress then introduced the principle speaker of the evening, Rufus Steele, who told of the importance a leading voice plays in the affairs of every people.
Mr. Steele’s speech was an education in itself for not only subject mannar and individual thought but also for his eloquence as a public speaker. He emphasized Gladstone’s idea of an orator as one who is able to “gather the mist from the people and hurl it hack to them a flood.”
Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. Rufus Steele, Mrs. Gillette Webster, Mrs. Walter Bruns, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Wolfe, Alma Montgomery, Otto Sieplein, Louise Falligant. Leona Matthews, Burton W. Essex, Claire June Cohen. Franklin Albert, Marion Wallace, Bill Turner, Margie Welch. John Vierling. Mary Louise Wright, Alex McKim, Wright Peabody. Pearl Millar, Ralph Allen, Marjorie Howard and Cora Sieplein.
