PERSONALS
TDr.. Rufus W. Weaver, president
of Mercer University, spoke Satur
day at Jeaup before the Baptist As
sociation, which met there.
P. E. Murray, who graduated from
the law school last spring, and who
it now taking work in the literary
department, spoke at the Y. M. C. A.
last Friday night. Mr. Murray’s sub
ject was “Public Opinion,” and he
showed the importance of public
opinion on the lives of men. During
his talk Mn Murray paid a high trib
ute to the preachers of Mercer, say
ing that they had meant a great deal
to him while at Mercer, “A man in
no weakling because is a preacher,”
said the speaker. “It takes a strong
man to give his life in the service of
humanity as tne ministers are doing.”
Gower Latimer went to Hall county
last Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. J. H. DreWry, of At
lanta, spent the week-end with then
son, J. H. Drewry, Jr., who is pros!
dent of the large Freshman class S'
.lercer this year.
Frank Holland spent the week-en '
at his home in Byron,
Lucius Nelson, from the University
of Georgia^ visited Tom Harvill last
Saturday.
R. S. Bennett went to Nashville
Saturday to see .the Mercer-Vandy
‘ootball game.
In a gams that consumed two
hours and twsivt minutes in the
playing tbs Georgia Bulldogs reared
un hind haunches and defeated the
Mercer Baptists in the opening grid
lash of the season at Sanford Field
Saturday. It. might be said that the
.8-0 score was not at all indicative ol
he strength that the Maconitet
howed. Their line was a revelation
nd the Bulldogs found it, just a.
osh Cody had predicted, no cinch t
.cnetrate. On two occasions the Mer
er line held when eGorgia needc
ass than two yards for touchdown
to one can say that the Mercer tean
s not a fighting one, a heavy one an<
future great one. Give Cody an
ther year with that bunch and yo.
/ill see another addition to the rank:
f Dixie’s football premiers. As i
vas, it gave our Bulldogs a great
ight,. and thos>* who grumbled thf
he Re dand Black ^touid have scores
.ore heavily certahrly took littK
tock of the foe’s worth.
As to individual starring for the
aptists, their ends, Smith and Irwin
tood out prominently. The latter,
laying .at defensive half, was a
ower of strength. Smith played hb-
eart out and retired in the : latte',
tages of the game through sheer ex-
austjon. Poore at quarter and Welsh
t full for the Macon lads were the
rincipal gainers for their team.—

SOME LIKE STUDYING
Dean William E, Farrar, of the
college of arts and sciences, and pro
fessor of Greek, announced recentlv
that sixty-seven Mercer students are
now studying Greek. Forty-two stu
dents are taking beginners’ Greek;
thirteen are studying New Testameni
Greek, and there are twelve in the
advanced class. According to Doan
Farrar, the increase in the number
of Greek students speaks well for
Marcer’s classical development.

FOOTBALL DOPE
THE GUY THAT GETS
MY HANDSHAKE
By C. J. Broome
Anyone can yell with vigor,
Cheering, as he madly should,
<Vhen the home team hits the horse-
hide,
And the pitcher’s going good;
Jut the guy that gets my handshake
Is the guy that gives his sour
Vhen the game is going blooey,
And the home team ’a in the hole.
RUSHES OF PAST
t is well to hail the hero
Ijk the grilling game of life,
<Vhen he’s out in front, a winner,
Where the competition’s <ife;
Jut the guy that gets my hat-o.T
Is the guy who’ll give his soul
or the fellow who is fallen,
For his fellow in the hole!
Frank R. Nalls, Jr.
In 1910 the Freshmen for the first
time won the Fresh-Soph rush. They
jme on in a wedge-shaped formation
ed by “Big Grice,” who was over six
eet six. A 8 the Fresh reached the
Jophs each Freshman pulled out a
.mail sack of flour, which he had con-
:ealed in. his shirt, and threw it -in
he face of a Sophomore.
After three minutes of tusseling,
two. Freshmen seized Roswell Merrit
and threw him high above the heads
jf the Sophs. When he came dwon
he had.the colors in his hand.
At this time Roswell Merritt, who
s now a professor. at Mercer, was in
short trousers ana weighed’ only
ighty pounds.
“Big Grice” said, “What’s good for
the gpose is good for the gander
and insisted that the Freshmen pn
rade the Sophs by Wesleyan. The
.acuity upheld him, so Grice tossed
•ittle Roswell Merrit to his shoulder
and they started out They paraded
the down-hearted Sophs until 7:30,
through town and by Wesleyan again
and again.
Lee Battle, negro janitor, who ha
,’rom time immemorial sponsored the
?reshman Class, went Crazy with joy
Me jumped wildly about, shouting ano
gesticulating. In one of his prodig
.ous leaps his coat caught on a limb
ind was torn ftom hs shoulders, bu»
.his cooled his ardor not in the least
Lee bought the class a half bushel
,t apples and three dozen bananas. .
At only one other time have the
Freshmen won. In 1913 the rush of
1910 was. duplicated exactly, two
Freshmen throwing Clarence Eden
lbove. the heads of the crowd.
Charlie Wasdin two years ago
touched the colors but was unable to
oring them down.

NORMAN INSTITUTE
Rev. T. W. Tippett, of Vienna, is
conducting revival servise at the
Norman Park Baptist Church this
week. Brother Tippett is a wonderful
power both in the pulpit and in the
community. Every service is growing
in interest.
Norman Institute has the largest
enrollment. this year that the school
has bad for several years. Many
students are here from other States.
The student body is doing fine work
and all are well pleased with the be
ginning.
Thirteen ministerial students hav»
matriculated and several others are
trying to find some means of coming
It would be a great blessing if each
association in the State would take a
ministerial student and give them
their actual expenses outside of, tho
campaign. L. H. Browning.
