Help! My button is huge, ugly, and non-button like...

Question

Hopefully this is an easy one. But I'm just stumped why I can't shrink this button down. Its taking up the entire SOUTH despite that I am trying to set its dimensions explicitly with setSize. This is in an Applet. Can someone tell me why setSize is not working for me?
public void init() {
resize(800, 600);
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
this.letterField = new List(26);
this.letterField.add("A");
this.letterField.add("B");
this.letterField.add("C");
this.letterField.add("Z");
this.letterField.setSize(10, 260);
this.goButton = new Button("GUESS");
this.goButton.setSize(40, 10);
this.goButton.addActionListener(this);
add(this.letterField, BorderLayout.EAST);
add(this.goButton, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
}
