TEAM PLAYS MERCER.
The 8. L A." A ruling wtuch
thrawa out the S. A. T. C. year from
players’ records, allows Lee Rhame,
the famous halfback of the 1920 Pur
plo Hurricane to once more repre
sent his abna mater. This medns
that the team ef this year will lose
hot two men, Jeter from the line
and “Speedy” Speer from the back
field.
Rhame baa already burned down
several otters to entjgr professional
baseball, in order to return to Fur. I
.man; so the football fans have a
groat treat in store for themselves
in that they will be able to see this
famous player again in action next
year. Lee gained more grefand than
any other man in-the state last year,
end can be counted upon to do the
same next year- if the ball is given
him. He has a wonderful record for
endurance, as he has never had time
called for him during his four yoara
on the team. Football enthusiasts
throughout the state ore indeed glad
to knew that this hard line-plunging,
all-sate man Will be pgth us again.—

Mr. Peanut lurcher:
Dear Sir :
We beg to submit the following

If you wish to play tennis and find
you have no equipment, stamp
the floor and you will have a racket

rabbit barkf”
Prof. Jacobs: “Rabbits don’t balk
in.” •
Joe Jacobs: “That’s funny; My
story-book says that rabbits eat cab
bage and bark.” .
Dr. Fountain: “So,, sir. you said

you?”
Rat Muse: “No sir, I merely re
marked that you - were a burro of
information.’”
Dr. Weaver At Vesper.
On the 9th of January we had
Dr. Weaver with us. He gave to us
wonderful talk, using ax his sub.
jeet, “I made an effort.” He iUus.
trated his subject by using several of
the parts of speech.
iDr. Weaver has recently been
made chancellor of Baptist educa
tion in Georgia, and we felt it an
honor to have him with us.
A beautiful special song helped to
render this program very effective.
