THE SCROLL. 327the way, this is fast becoming an old story in THE SCROLL,but it ever delights us. We wish that the next numbers couldbe largely devoted to accounts of new chapter houses acquiredby the twenty chapters yet unhoused. These are great daysof internal improvements in Phi Delta Theta. They are makingfor her greater stability and permanent glory. Our Phisof Westminster are peculiarly beloved by the whole Fraternity,and they have our happiest wishes, for the spirit ofFather Morrison abides with them.MISSOURI BETA IN FOOTBALL,Westminster's team of 1903 has been one of which the collegecan justly be proud. Averaging less than one hundredand fifty pounds, the team defeated opponents outweighing itby more than fifteen pounds to the man.Missouri Beta was represented on the team by 6 men, Bro.Seibert being captain. The back field, composed of Bro.Seibert, left half, Bro. Nesbitt, fullback, and Bro. Soule,right half, made up the fastest trio Westminster has ever had.Bro. Miller at left guard and Bro. Calvird at left tackle,were the strongest men in the line, both on the offensive anddefensive. Bro. Hamacher, substitute, showed himself to begood football material early in the season, but owing to illnesswas unable to practice regularly during the first of the season.Bro. Sam J. P. Anderson, who made such an enviablereputation at left half on Missouri's team during seasons'93-'94-'95, acted as coach. Bro. Wilson, who has managedall the athletic teams during the last two years, managed theteam, and deserves especial credit for the success he made of it.Westminster's 1904 team promises to be strong, and MissouriBeta will have a number of important places. Bro.Nesbitt will captain the team.W. A. SOULE.Franklin College is the only institution of learning in thecountry organized on a joint stock basis.
