OXFORD AND EMORY COLLEGE
Mackay Goes to Atlanta.
Edward G. Mackay, of the Senior
Class, who was recently appointed at
the Methodist Conference to a charge
at Porterdale, has been transferred
to the new Druid Hills church in At¬
lanta.
Mr. Mackay will continue his col
leg# work, going up on Sunday to
his church and returning Monday. Af¬
ter his graduation next June he will
reside in Atlanta and devote his en¬
tire time to the work.
The church at Druid Hills, a sub¬
urb of Atlana, is in a section that is
rapidly growing in favor as a resi¬
dence portion.
Thisj promotion given Mackay is
one of the most remarkable that has
ever been conferred on an Emory
man Avhile in college, and his many
friends will learn of the change with
a great deal of pleasure.
While a student for the past two
years Mackay has made a name for
himself as an eloquent speaker, and
those who have heard him have no
doubt but that he will fill his new
post with honor to himself and to
the church.
Basket Ball Next.
After a gruelling season of football
the Emory students are ready for
basketball, Already the candidates
for the class teams are practicing
daily, and when the season opens in
January some fast games will be
seen.
The contest for the pennant this
year is expected to be between the
Seniors and Sophomores. Both had
strong fives last year, and each has
returned their full team, and in ad¬
dition have some new men trying
out for places, who will at least give
last year’s regulars a hard run to
remain on the team. The Junior
team lost some men from last year,
but has a number of others out, all
working hard and should be right in
the race.
As to ‘he Freshmen and Subs,
very little is known. Both have a
number of candidates, and, if hard
work will help any, these two teams
will be ready when the first referee
blows his horn.
The managers have already been
chosen, and are as follows:
E. D. Kenyon, TO.
W. C. Thomas, ’ll.
Quinby Melton, T2.
R. W. Pryor, T3.
J. L. Griner, T4.

Dr. Duncan Gives Banquet
The entire Senior Class was pres¬
ent at a banquet last week given by
Dr. Duncan in honor of the pennant
winning foot ball team. It is a regu¬
lar custom for the coaches at Emory
to give their teams a banquet at the
end of the season, but Dr. Duncan’s
generosity has set a new example,
The banquet was held at the Stewart
House in Oxford and every one of
the 38 members of the Class of 1910
was present to toast the champion
team of the season and to praise Dr.
Duncan.
The members gathered in the par
lors at 8 o’clock and about a half hou
later they sat down to as well fitted
a banquet table as could be desired.
The following toasts were respond
ed to:
Looking Backward.—E. D. Kenyon.
The Pleasures of College Life.—D.
H. Malone.
Our Ladies.—S. E. Jenkins.
Sidelights.—O. H. Wesley.
Looking Forward.—E. G. Mackay.
Harvey Pafford read a poem,“Foot
ball Jingles” in which he described
the doings on the field of a number
of the seniors, and Paul Monroe’s
“Clippings from the Alumni Depart
ment of the Emory Phoen'x of 1920”
was fine. In it he pictured the do
ings of each man ten years from
now. He predicted Dr. Duncan living
in a fine house on Peachtree street,
and said that the latch string always
hung on the outside for the men of
1910. The Doctor arose and said that
if ever such a happy event as was
hinted about took place he was sure
that the door would always be open
to the men of the Senior Class of
1910
At a late hour the banqueters dis¬
sembled and made the night ring with
cheers for the class and Dr. Duncan.

Phi Gamma Notes.
There is life in Phi Gamma this
year Almost every Monday this fall
the debates have been long and very
stroingly contested. But one of the
most interesting of any of the meet
ings that have occurred in the society
in a very long time was that of last
Monday morning. The question was,
Resolved, That Local option rather
than state prohibition is the best so
lution for the Liquor Problem in the
South. The discussion for the affirm
ative was led by Gibson and Lee, and
Brown and Coppedge championed the
negative. The debate grew more and

Judges Styles, Starr and Girardeau
rendered their decision in favor of
the negative,

sports begin to lose their attraction,
the boys turn to the literary societies
