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. > Bead and Chariton Stars. qwMhly fnlnmrvj up hjs shot, his Work oPBadd at eent^x and Charlton at for ward were the outstanding features.

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. GIRLS HAVE DEBATE.
