This team was responsible for one of the biggest victories in the program's history came on Coach Cowell's watch in 1938. Stetson University had played the University of Florida just eight times since 1912 and had fallen behind in enrollment, as well as in football. The Hatters traveled to Gainesville, outplayed the Gators and brought home a 16-14 win. When the university's excited supporters returned to DeLand, they went straight to President William Allen's home and awoke him so he could join in the celebration, which he did, going as far as lighting the celebratory bon?re.
