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 has been going home and l want to pass on to you. I hav£ come to the end of the journey-. I am waiting for Him to call me.” How beautiful these words!

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: BESSIE TIFT gia Baptists.
