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. 10-IOZW On tiOZoi -<r»>m 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.
