By J.. .K, WILLIAMS
Pres. Ministerial Association
,().ut of. one hundred' thirty-seven
preachers who have- applied -for ad-
niission ill the School of Christianity
at ..Mercer more than one hundred
have already arrived, oh the campus.
.Of the, total number about thirty ,of
tile preachers are married and live
with tlieir.families iii cottages on the
rumpus.' ' '
One of the married ministerial .stu
dents is Chaplain A,- I. Foster, known
through the South as "The 'Fighting
Parson" because of lii.s record iii th?
famous Thirtieth-Division. This dii>’
sonis famous in ' only for .tA great
feat in helping to break the Ilimlen-'
berg line, hut for .the. record of its
religious work under the 'direction of
'Chaplain ‘Foster.
Another preacher of note In the,
student -body’ at Mercer this fall is-
i!ev., Emmett 1L- Stephens, who h<)s
•for seventeen - years , been' a mission-
• ary in China.; lie will take his fall

Tl.it-re -.tiv a few fellows registered as
spin ial- this year, hut not. sueh a
" large p i opnrtioii. as in previous years.
Hr. •’ Mi-tiinty believes that the in
crease in the number of A. It..men is
attributable to the .fact that Mercer
is putting, on more and more of semi-t
nary work." ■ ■ ; v - " .
.V ia ’i'd program lias been planned
by. the officers of the, ministerial as
sociation this year, . Many of the
preachers will engage in street meet-
ipgsC and industrial serviqes about
over the'city. . It is also planned to
have h number of social, surveys made
of different sections of the city for
the purpose of determining the best,
line of endeavor"fdr the work of the
rettgious workers friini Mcccr.
A number of men who are authori-j
ties, in the-religious and' industrial
world will 'lecture to the ministeral
association from time to time through
out the school year. * ,
The preachers meet, every Tuesday
evening at 7 o’clock.' The officers of
the association" are John K. Williams
president; Ralph Moo:".?, vice-presi
dent) and J. W. Coleman, secretary.
.lighting . like, wildcats, was scored
upon for the first time during the
year. Two hours and twenty minutes
Were consumed -before the Georgians
were mbit' to score f. uf touchdowns.
()ne hour and twenty minutes was
the-length of the third quarter. Dur
ing (his time the “Bulldogs” scored
three of. their four touchdowns. At
this time six of the Mercer varsity
men were out of tile pai'ie because
of injuries. .
Long Quarters .
'Had the quarters-I'bci'ii only ten
minute* in. length instead (if' fifteen
the panic- Would bale probably been
a murb closer one. The-regular ttf*
teen minute quarters are usually
shortened to ten or twcl • e. minutes
at t his : t ime of the yOar, as the heat
oil tile pridiAtl is weakening to the
players. ' . ,v V .' *,'•
Mener'stiideXts let- oat a yell when
tile sioref’of • tlntt^Jirst quarter ciirtte
in. The reports of the game were se
cured by the Telegraph -and phoned
in to the dormitory. By thin arrange
ment tiie reports Mere secured at the
dormitory by quarters; thus furnish-'
big a channel where the nervous en
ergy of the hoys, could lie expendi'U.
In the lira* an I fourth' quarters the
Baptises held, the heavier Georgia
squad .helpless, they being unable to
score it single point against the in
vaders in these two quarters..' If
Georgia was held to. this count for
half of the. game, whai -an the Mer
cer aggregation do to the other teams
they come against?
Strong'-Defense
Mer'cr showed her real grit when
Georgia had Hje ball on Iter one-yard
line in the fourth quarter. For seven
downs tiie ' Georgia' ‘‘Bulldog's’’
growled and howled, but to no. avail,
as the Mercer squad presented all im
pregnable defense. .'-Georgia is rated
as having one of the strongest lines
among Southern colleges, hut 'they
Were unable to move-.the Mercer
linesmen from their path'.
Smith, the fast left end of the
Mercer team was the shining tight.
This hoy was in-every, play, tackling
or dumping his’man when tiie play
was .coining- his way. ■ He Avas easily
the star' of the- game. Smith was
taken-out of the gai.iic at tire end of
the third quartc" hrtiuse of a
sprained shoulder, caused by hard
tackling. Harbin, the fleet-footed
halfback', was also dcrri.'ked at this
time because'Of injuries..- .Mercer - was
seriously .crippled I y the absence of
these two nien from her lineup.
Irwin, the tall right end with the
f'ducated toe, played a dazzling game
at his position, besides-securing long
distances, with his punting. Lancas
ter, Icft'glard, broke through the
Georgia line- time and time again,
tackling and ' dumping,, constantly
throwing the Georgia baVks. for loss
after, loss. Herndon, le.ftguard, and
Captain Johnson n't center. held-the
line in' t-avk, time, after time, when
the "Bulldogs” were.. tr\ ing to 'miiki*
gains over.their part'of tiie line. In
the iiaektic 1 <I Harbin and I’oure were
the outstanding stars on tiie Baptist
eleven. Both '.of.. these hoys' gitined
ground for the Mercer team: Cecil,
another bncKtichl man, made the.
longest gain. for the Mercer squad.
In fact, the entire^ Mercer team
played superb hall, .surprising the
2,000 fans Who had gathered at San
ford Field,.expecting the ‘‘Bulldogs’
to run tip a hulf-century count.
Chance to Score .
' ColLns, Reynolds, Hartley . and
Randall played the best game for
Georgia. These men made most of
their .gains around end. Dick,Hart
ley,,for Georgia pulled off one of his
usual sweeping end -.'uns, but was un
able to get through the line defense.
.Mercer had . her best chance -’-o
score iii the, second quarter when
'Irwin punted fifty yardsWthe Geor
gia safety - man who fumbled,'Cecil,
to the.‘wrong baekfield man, causing
a fumble, allowing Georgia to re
cover' . the. ball and then, punt' to
safety.. '
Many of the fans who WK-Vessoj
Georgia’s; ten-yard line. . On the first
! down, the Mercer center failed, to
catch the signal, and passed the ball
foy Mercer, recovered the ball on
the game Satnrday state that Mer-
((’ontinued from page one)
■longer at some institutions. It seems,
however, that the old adage that
there are .exceptions, prevails at Mer
cer this year, for the new men ap
parently are almost as deeply inter
ested as upperclassmen in bringing
about tiie. Greater Merger. The fresh
men are verdant, perhaps, hut .their
“greenness.”- is not so great as to
make Mercer’s larger plans foreign
to their apprehension. J. H. Drew-
ery, of Atlanta, freshman president,
in his uiaiden speech College Night,
expressed what scents to he Hie sen
timent' of - his classmates, but ^ex
pressed by the? slogan, ‘.'All for Mtr-
