“What A Charming Home!”
Folks may say this about your house, if you keep it well
painted. You not only add to its beauty, but more import*
ant, protect the surface from rot and decay.

will “save the surface” and beautify at the same time. It
is real economy to use it, because of its long life and great
durability.

class-rooms being designated as me
morials for celebrated teachers who
once taught at the university. Ad
justments have been made so that the
present faculty are to use. the same

tinguished predecessors in the same
line of pedagogy. ’

to bear the names of some distin
guished divines of the university and

AMBITION CONFESSES
By CARL BROOME
i Let others.sit in'valleys low
Where cooling shadows fall; ■
But 1 would toiling upward go
| To the highest peak of all.
j Let-others gather shell and pearl
I On shores where sea breathes low
But I the sails of my shi unfurl
To.,the drive of the gates’.that‘blow
Let others dwell beside the sea,
And, dream of distant-strands;
But 1 a mariner bold and free
Would sail for newer lands.
Let others rest; where peace comes
down /c' .
To lull the soul to sleep;
But 1 would, seek a victor’s crown
Where the battle charges sweep.
Let others walk and be .content,
As the gruelling race is run;
But. I. would finish first, though spent
And fallen ’neath the waning sub.

Judge -Beverly D. Evans,’ of the
United States District Court; Josh
Cody, coach of athletics; George M.
Sparks, faculty representative on-the
athletic council and alumni Bccrearty
of Mercer, • and C. E. Baker, sporting
editor of the Telegraph, turned the
meeting of the Lions’ Club at the
Hotel Dempsey., into a booster meet
ing fqr athletics at Mercer Univer-
sity. Judge Evans' wasn't scheduled
for an athletic spefech,'but he caught
the spirit of the meeting and made a
talk in which 1 he emphasized not only •
the advantage of but necessity for
athletics at his alma mater.
’■ “We must lobk ahead,” said Judge
Evans. “Thousands of years ago,
Noah walked out of his ark and
looked around. He could see no more
than- two or three miles. Today, with ‘
powerful telescopes, you can see peo
ple jumping the chasms on Mars, t ac- ,.-
cording to the newspapers. ■ I haven’t
seen i.t myself,. • , - ■
Refers to Carpentier Fight
"Fifty years ago you couldn’t hear
-your next door neighbor talking, in
ordinary tones, across the lawn. Now
sitting at an instrument in this coun
try, you can hear {conversation in
Europe. When we contemplate the
advancement in some branches, we
must consider tTemendous strides in
others.
“Education must necessarily appeal
to every part of our makeup, to the
physical, as well as to- the intellec
tual side. Mercer University has a
great opportunity. You gentlemen
have a great opportunity. We must
bring men to Mercer to have athlet
ics/ Up in Tennessee there is a little
college with scarcely 100 students
that has the out-fightingest athletic
teams in the country. 1 1 refer to Se-
wanee, the University of the South."
Judge Evans referred to the Demp-
sey-Carpentier fight,- showing the ad
vanced interest of people of . America
in athletics. The judge showed an
intimate knowledge of • the lives of
the two fighters; as he remarked that
a majority of the women of the -coun
try favored Carpentier because, he
represented nut so much brute
strength as some of the better ele
ments of man.
Alumni' Taking M.ore Interest
“Mercer, 1, am informed, will have
not less .than 590 students this year.
Out of that number she should have
a team of 20 men who could build a
reputation for her in football. I want -
to see my alma mater take an inter
est in physical education. I want to
see her have these teams’. I am with
yop in the movement.” ;
George Sparks, Coach Cody and C. ‘
F. Baker spoke briefly,- each outlin
ing some phase, of the athletic situa
tion. Cody 1 dealt in a general way
with the athletic prospects’ at Mercer
this year, saying he has already lined
up. scvepa'l players who want to come.
He- skid that scores, of students are
kept away -from school because they
have-'no means ,»f support while here .
and urged moinbt rs of the club who- -
have positions open to offer them to
Mercer students wipe'can give six : or
’seven hours a day. :
George. Sparks dealt with the
alumni situation; saying that, the
alumni over the State are taking
more knd mb re interest in the Macon
university.
Former Students Watching
’“There are 3,000 graduates of Mer
cer and 20,000 former students who
are watching our athletic program,”
he said.
Mr. Baker dealt with the increased
interest in -Merer athletics.
“Three years ago people of Macon
didn’t take any more interest in Mer
cer athletics than you would-take in' •
a cock fight in the street. The atti
tude was that they' had rather. have
no team; than a poor team. We have
the possibilities nbw for . athletic
teams and it's up to. the people of
Macon to support them.” ; .
The Lions pledged active support
to Mercer’s athletic board and Bald
win Martin, presiding, appointed a
committee composed of Clem Powers,.
Harry Popper, Frampton Farmer and
Roland Neel, to confer with Coach
Cody , and work out a plan, to be re
ported at the next meeting, to offer
the fullest co-operation.
