THE MERCER CLUSTER
CHAMP KENTUCKY
TEAM BEATS MERCER
HAD MISFORTUNE OF DRAWING
ONE OF .STRONGEST SECOND
DAY.
By Carlton Blui.
Atlanta. Ga.—The Mercer Univer.
sity basketball team was 'eliminated
from tke S. I. A. A. tournament here
Saturday afternoon when the fa?
Kentucky State quintet defeated the
baptists by k score of 49 to 25. Af
ter a hard battle staged by the Mer
cerians the Macon team was simpl;,
outclassed by the .wbH'vrnd from
the Blue -Grass district, but novel
admitted their $s&at until the tim
er sounded his gong at the -end of the
contest. Working- under the misfor
tune of haring drawn one of the
strongest teams in the tournament
foe.their second game the Baptists
eu|pTed the struggle wih a strong
bunch of rooters who were anxiour
® for the dangerous team from Ken
tucky to be defeated and thus put
out of the path of several other ag
gregations who have aspirations to
ward the championship. .
The Baptists were also cheered
* in their hard fight by several stars
for the Mercer teams of the past
among these were Captan Johnny
Westmoreland for the Atlanta Ath
Ietic Club, who is recognized as one
of the. greatest performers in the
south, and “Stick” Rodenbery,” s
shining light on Mercer’s list of for
mer athletic stars. Uncanny shot;
from almost impossible positions' by-
King and Adkins in the first half
coupled with the seven foul counters
registered by King were the cause of
the downfall of the Mercerians.
* The Baptists were also guarded
very closely during this period and
were not permitted to get within
shooting distance of their goal. Gam-
-ble was the only Mercer player who
was able to locate the basket^durine
the first period and he was successful
only one time. In the second half
Eddie Rftiitehead negotiated :• veral
spectacular goals and was assisted by
Gamble who added three more to his
credit. It was freely - remarked by
the spectators who saw the game be
tween Mississippi Aggies and Mill-
sups, which followed the Mercer.

On Saturday, February 19th, the
teachers of Bessie Tift, who have
recently moved into their ne.w quar
ters, “The Cedars.” entertained the
rest of the faeulty at an informal
tea.
The spacious rooms of this old
Southern home were decorated pro
fusely with yellow .narcissi and ivy.
The lights, shaded with yellow, shed
a soft glow over them. In these
rooms the guests were ushered by
MVs. Newsome and Mrs. Tingley.
Miss Baker-, Miss Tarbet. and Miss
Loomis se.ved tea and were assist
ed by Miss McQuary and Miss Oster-
hout who passed the accessories.
With an interest in the way the
teachers had adapted themselves to
their new home and in the way the
teachers had adapted the guests
availed themselves of the opportun
ity to enjoy the whole house. Miss
Mickle showed them the way to the
various rooms. It was the informal
ity of the occasion that made the af
fair so enjoyable. •

were beautifully and artistically dec
orated with vines, hot house plants,
and crepe paper. Delightful re

delicacies on the plate was a pea

each side. Each society will also be
represented by a girl in recitation,
a girl in piano and a boy in decla
mation. .

The Orange and .Black quintet
played the last college game, of has-,
ketball fast week by licking the Uni
versity of .Chattanooga quintet by
the score of 26 to 15. Mercer, used
several substitutes' during the first
hVf in order to keep the varsity men
ia trim for the tournament the next
day in Atlanta. ,
The game was played slow during-
the first half due to the second string
athletes of the Mercer aggregation.
Mercer lead at the end of the ft st
half by the' scor^ of 6 to 6.
The Orange and Black came back
in the second half with every var
sity mart playing in Tegular-position
Much roughness was displayed, and
at times the game resembled a foot
ball game, cave mart tactics being'
used at frequent intervals by both
teams. Many personal foU s were
made by' players of both teams that
were not called by Refree Charlie
White. Mercer did good passing dur
ing this half and shot several goals
from difficult angles.
Big . Eddie Whitehead was the
high point man for the^ locals, shoot
ing 6 field goals and 2 fouls. This
big fellow worked the floor in snap
py style, being in every play, He-
was closely followed by “Slap” Rentz
and “Cap” Weekly, both these men
playing stellar ball.
Redd, captain and center of the
mountain crew, and Clark played
good ball for the visitors. Redd
showed considerable skill in shoot
ing- long trys for the baske't and
a good' floor man; Clark is a fast
youth, ringing the goal four time
In the last half.
The Chattanooga outfit proved it
self to be one worthy of the consid
eration (ft the strongest basketball
teams in the South. Their teamwork
was good . throughout the game.
Redd’s ability to get around the floor
in a big hurry was largely responsi
ble for the.good work of the visiting
team. He took part in every play
and in .addition to good floor work
scored seven points for the ’Noog
gans. The game in detail follows:
