Ten Mile Monday eNxt...
Emory’s annual relay race will be
pulled off Monday afternoon, October
18. This year considerable interest
over this event is being shown,and a
number of runners have been in stiff
training gear for some time past.
With the exception of placing the
runners practically everything is in
readiness for Monday's race. How¬
ever, as yet the teams have not j'et
all been selected,the freshmen and
the juniors being the only classes
v hose men have tried out for places
up to the time we are going to press.
Following are the representatives o
those two classes in the order in
which they finished in the triad runs:
Juniors—
Christian. Zellars,, Gunnells, HoweP
Brown, Fowler, Crane, Harmon, Ran«
bo, Trimble.
Freshmen—
T.M.Wynn.S. W. Wynn,Wilson,Bus¬
sey, Lambert, T. F. Jones, Stanford,
8 hear house, Burke, G'hsson.
RAPID PROGRESS IN
ENDOWMENT FUND
Emory’s half million dollaT endow¬
ment campaign is making rapid for¬
ward strides, and it is almost certain
that the entire amount desired will
have been pledged by commencement,
President James E, Dickey’s new met
od of campaigning by districts is
meeting with remarkable success,and
every Sunday the fund is swelled by
several thousand dollars.
Last Sunday the movement was
presented in the Cordele district and
next Sunday the Ainericus district
will be canvassed, The Methodists
of Americus have already subscribed
$3,300 to the fund, so will not be ask¬
ed to contribute further next Sunday.
T;ie program for the day La that dis¬
trict is:
Shellman—Dr. James E. Dickey.
Fort Gaines—Rev. J. E. Seals.
Edison—Rev. T. J, Lang.
Leslie—Rev. E. M. Overby.
It is very likely that before Sun¬
day arrangements will be made for
(resenting the cause in several other
towns other than those given above.
BASEBALL BOY8
ARE GIVEN TREAT
Emory baseball bogs did not have
to wait for the Atlanta dailies to
bring them the results of the world’s
championship series of games, but
were given the scores and the bat¬
teries every afternoon only a short
while after the games were finished i
Pittsburg and Detroit,The Arcade very
kindly joined hands with The En¬
terprise and leased a wire for the pur
pose of presenting these results to
the Emory student#, and consequently
The Enterprise bulletin board in
front of the Arcade was one of the
most popular resorts in Oxford while
the games were in progress.

GRIDIRON GOSSIP
Athletics are still on the boom at
Emory. Preparations are complete for
tiie annual ten mile relay
race, which will be run next
Monday afternoon, This year’s
race promises to be one of tt|
most interesting in many moons—
even last year’s close finish may be
rivalled.
The Gopher to the Front.
Did you hear the old gentleman’s
sage remark? Yes, sir, the old gent
is a mighty sympathetic creature. He
loves a good game of football about a
well as anybody, and all his heart
goes out just now to those brawny
athletes who are toiling “sweatfully”
to become heroes in the eyes of-,
well, supply the rest yourself. Be it
as it may, these stars and near-stars
of the gridiron going through i
are
their daily drills with a consistency
worthy of the best of causes. And
this practice is beginning to have i'c
effects, loo. The squads are round- j
ing into shape nicely and are becom
ing more anti more proficient in their
team work.
The seniors are rejoicing over the
relurn of T. A. Wilson to the game,
For a time it was feared they would
loto him on account of inability to
secure the required permission to
play, but a petition to his father,
signed by the entire senior class had
the desired effect. Wilson is a star
of the first magnitude and would
push somebody for a place on one of
the big southern elevens. He will
probably be placed at full. Grady
Clay, than whom they make no better,
will be at one half, with the other in
doubt. Ward Wight, he of the for
wal'd pass fame, will direct the team
from the quarter’s position. Kenyon
and Cooper, who did some classy
playing at the ends last season will
very likely be found there again,
though one of them may possibly be
shifted to the back-field, Mackay,
Ftiles and Malone are assured of
places on the line, while several new
men are scrapping it out for the oth¬
er positions. Taking it all in ail, the
*10 bunch is the one best bet in the
pennant race.
.
Juniors are Working Hard. |
The juniors are also coming strong.
They will be improved 100 per cent
ever last year’s form. As the seniors
are rejoicing over Wilson, so are the
juniors hilarious over the discovery
in their ranks of another star in the
realm of football, one Clem Brown of
baseball renown. Mark this predic¬
tion: When the All-Emory team is
selected at the close of the season,
Brown will be one of those accorded
a place. He’s a top-notcher, alright,
alright, either at touching the line
or on end runs. And when he breaks
clear of the line it will take a greas¬
ed streak of lightning to head him
off. Crane is doing some cracker-jack
work at full, and in all probability
will play this position regularly. Haw¬
kins is playing his same brilliant
game at left half. If it were within
reason we would say he is even
bUter than last year. Roach is show¬
ing up splendidly and is sure of a
place. Brooks Brown,, who made a
sub s place on the All-Emory last sea¬
son, will be at quarter, with Salter
Wight an excellent understudy.Thom
as, Mizelle, Christian, Seegars and
Wright have proved conclusively their
ability, and are assured of regular
places. Flanders, McMullin and Har¬
man will make somebody hustle for
a place. It is not at all unlikely that
Henry Jones will get back in the
game, which means that opposing

backs need not look to the junior,)
<, n( ] s for their game s.
Sophs, to Figure in Race— Maybe,
Our judgment of the sophs and
freshmen will have to be based al
most entirely on hearsay, as we have
Lad practically no opportunity of see
ing them at work and know very lit
tie of the ability of the men. For the
sophs, Boyer, Kimbrough and Pitt
man seem to be the stars among the
new men. Nolan and Evans are show
iug up in excellent style. Middle
brooks, All-Emory full, will be found
at his old position. Rockwell or Tow
son will play quarter. Both will makj'
places on the eleven. Several new
men are fighting it out for line po
sitions. Dr. Peppier, the soph’s coach
has his work cut out for him here, as
he has practically none of his old
team back. If he succeeds as well as
last year, the sophs will certainly be
factors in the race,
Freshmen in Good Shape.
The freshmen team is going to be
unusually strong this year, according
to all reports. Camp and Page, of the
old men, are playing their same brill
hint game, while Orr, Fanning, Scaler,
Black, and Dykes are showing up in
\ 1 style. The natural ability of the
men, combined with Professor Han
ner s able coaching will be the means
of their causing the others to do som
trill hustling to beat them.
Fierce Clashes Anticipated.
Everything points to a most suc¬
cessful season. The teams are more
evenly matched than they have been
in a long time,which means that some
football will be the result. Let’s
to this by seeing that every game
characterized by the most sports¬
conduct, on the part of both
and spectators.
