Chattanooga, ^nn.—With .'Captain
8«th Weekly, Mercer V high point man,
taken Out of the game because of sick
ness from which he had suffered pre
vious to the game, the University of
Chattanooga defeated the Orange and
Black quintet, from Maeoabv the
score of 28 to 21.
The local quintet, after battling for
five minutes of the lint half, managed
to slip a field goal th-ougk^he rims for
the first seore of the game. This goal
was folloed by a foul from the hands
of Balaton. At this stage of the. game,
the Mercer players began rushing the
game and forged ahead with five point-
to their eredit^-At the end of the first
half the Chattanooga five was leading,
however, by the score of 17 to 10.
Gaining back in a r.'.sh in the second
period the Mercer five scored two goals
in rapid succession, bringing their to
tal to fourteen paints before the Chat
tanooga five scored again. At this stage
of the content the fans, composed priu-
cpailv of the regular students and
eds of the university went, wil l. A coed
student cheer leader assumed -charge of
the spirit demonstration. which
renewed enthusiasm among the fans.
Urged by the rooting of their sup
porters the local quintet quickly ran
the score up to 25, while Mercer went
to 21 as a result of two field goals by
Gamble, one by Captain Selh Weekly
and a foul thrown by Whitehead.
Mercer’s score ended at 21 markeis,
while the ’Nooga five scored another
field goal and one foul,. making their
total 28. Here the scoring of the even
ing ended.
Both Teams Pbty Bough Game
The battle was akin to football, the
rushing tactics of the ’Nooga five ap
parently going unnoticed even when
the team ran interference and-.print d
a if headed for touchdowns. When it
was apparent that the referee did not
see the real fouls that were, committed
the Mercer quintet joined the ’Nooga
five in n good exhibition of the grid
iron game. Running -interference and
damping the. opposition and numerous
other football tactics were employed.
The fans seemed to be pleased with the
deatoaetr^ioa and yelled for the play-
em to continue the rough stuff.
Chattanooga presented n much strong
er fifive than was expected while
was evident that the Baptists from Ma
eon were decidedly off color .as com
pared with their recent struggles
^against Vanderbilt and Georgia Tech
—The Macoa quintet was unusilally slow
both .on the offense and defense while
the ’Nooga five played fast throughout
the contest, rushing the Baptists
every shot and giving them few open
tries a^ the basket within range.

BOILED FOR
ENTS DIGESTION
Small pox hovered- with its buz
zard pinions over the unsuspecting
Mercer campus in the disguise of a
chicken.. Like a thief in the night
ft stole- along the hall of the Y. Mi
C. A. to where Jimmie Teresi, our
affable and efficient Y. M. C. A. vice
president was busy preparing an or
atorical gem, a “thing of beauty and
a joy forever”—jor to be more ex
plicit a sermon, to deliver to his flock
after the manner of . the . “silver
tongued orator'of the Platt”, which
always engenders tears from listen
ers. With a' silent fiendish chuckle
the disease demon immersed his bac
teria in the blood of the aforemen
tioned youth and departed as he
came. '
The little baettyiar organized into
brigades, regiments, etc., were hav
ing a mass meeting for the purpose
of settling'the immigration question
which of course made Jimmie feel
uncomfortable, and were having an
awful dispute when-the only too so
licitous form of, R. L. Carter hove
into sight. The majority immedi
ately decided th«? immigration ques
tion an sought pastime elsewhere.
= W. T. Evans an ardent member
of the ministerial association came
over to the vesper services. On his
way out he dropped by to see Carter
for conference concerning the Caul-
dnn. Being opulent, fat and sleek
as the result of .many chicken din
ners, he immediately appropriated
the over-plus appertaining to Mes
srs. Carter and Teresi.
These three being generously af
flicted and sore" smitten, an urgent
message was dispatched to the dog-
tor who answered promptly as
his wont. Now small pox in a light
form corresponds very much to chick
en pox and the doctor soliloquized
follows: “These three men are
priachers, all preachers are extern
sive chicken .eaters. They must
have eaten a diseased chicken, there-
foie th0 have chicken pox.”
Since the . writing of the above
paragraphs a playful zepher caused
by the doctor slamming Tereui’s
door oh the way out, wafted several
billion of germs against - the form
of Jack Shuford who was breezily
coining out of that place called the
Brick Hall. Jack became suddenly
possessed with the disease and re
turned to his bed.
The Overseas Club passed . a de-
lightful afternoon cancelling invita
tions to their reception for that
night at 6:30 p. m. The manner
in which that official cancelled tb^pe
engagements sounded from a dis
tance like a man attempting to drive
an artillery wagon.
Quarantine of course, was the
next step in the ^program. Imme
diately following came the ordeal of
vaccination. The presiding goddess
appointed Ike Cowart as her private
secretary.

“Alt-1 niy brother’s keeper. ’'
This is the-theme of Mr. VV. T. An-
*lerse.ii's talk .to the students at chap
el this morning. Mr. Anderson is pres
hb-nt and editor of the Macon Llailv
Telegraph and he is- always welcomed
by i he sthdents\fi,r .his talks are-very
helpful and interesting.
•‘‘How fur are we to go in inter
•feting- with' our neighobors business f”
The speaker pointed out that.it would
do Bibb County no good to dredge the
(}cinuJgee river unless the other coun
ties along the river would do the same,|
nil.I therefore it is liecesarv for the fed-,
eral government to take over tills con
trol and make, it jnfionah . Tic also
pointed out that the federal govern
unlit will match any amount' raised by
bnud issues of any county in' building
ro is's. -The government will also give
consideration to school appropriations.
Mr. Anderaon went oil to show how
the country was affected when the Fed .
erai Reserve banks refused to discount
automobile paper, telling how the man
iif.icturers cut the amount of purchase
fifty percent and sell on a cash basis.
This affected the manufacturers of the
different parts to au .uutoinobil fifty
■percent. “When cotton was; down
then all of you in this room were
affect! d, lie declared, realizing that it
was used to a very large.extent in mak
ing tires.
In regard to sending cotton to Ger
many the speaker stated that when
they received the cotton, the German
properly now in the hands of the Unit
ed States, amounting to about eight
million dollars, would be asked fur be-
fi,.e they would anything about cot
ton. .
*; We are our brother’s keeper to the
point of meddling,” declared Mr. An
derson in conclusion stating taht the
democrats were not as much to blame
for conditions as the republicans.
TUESDAY A. M.
“1 have been thinking for the last
few days of the future pf Mercer Uni
versity,” declared Dr. Weaver iii talk
ing to the students at-ehapel this morn-
ingf “ Idon’t believe there is a man
who is not interested in her future.”
The speaker pointed out that sever
al items: are bi>ing considered, among
-which-, were the budget, adjustment of
courses, and the strengthening of the
faculty. “There are' 101 more students
how than there was last year at this
time,'” said Dr. Weaver. “The first
item iu the budget is based on the nuin
her of students and it is necessary to
know what the enrollment of next year
is to be.” The speaker made known the
fact that the present enrollment is
ahead of any known at the university.
|ln working out a plan Dr. Weaver
said that be first wanted, to know how-
many were planning tii come back and
second what the students knew: about
the boys back borne. He suggested
that the students be divided into two
parts which plan m-as ta be Voted, on
the following morning at the students
meeting.
THURSDAY, A. M.
Dr. 3. 0. Walker, professor of mod
ern languages, gave interesting talk on
the condition of affairs in Germany at
the outbreak of the World War. Dr.
Walker was in one of the German uni
versities at this time which made his
talk more interesting for he was an
eye witness. This talk was given af
ter Dr. Weaver set forth his plan be-:
fore the students to be considered.
Among other things Dr. Walker told
of how he was delayed in leaving Ger- f
many on account of an order given out -
by the .German government, that no
one be allowed 'to leave in ter days. I
He said that Germany was just wait- j
ing for something to happen for an ex
cuse to begin.
The speaker' told of how kind the
Americans were treated in Germany be
cause they - thought that - was a good
way to win the United States on their
side as it had been plioplies’ed by the
Germans that this country - would be
drawn into the war before it closed.
