W. Stubbs of Macon, and Mr. and Mrs. John R. Hanby of Wilmington, N. C.—From Monroe Advertiser. MERCER AND FURMAN fhe two opening games of. the 1921 season of football have been played. The Bulldogs have been seen in ac tion in two games that were by. no means easy. Perhaps the Mercer game was characterzied by more miscues on both sides than the Fur man game. Such is. nearly always true of the first game of the year. No teams that ever have done bat tle against the Red and Black on Sanford Field have played cleaner and. more sportsmanlike games than did the team from Macon and the team from Greenville. Mt. Cody, the Mercer coach, has succeeded gwithin a short time in building up a team that will prove a formidable foe for any Southern aggregation, lit is a fighting team, and one that fights cleanly and hard. Mr. Laval, Fur man’s coach, had a splendid fighting machine last, year, and the Bulldogs were expecting to battle them hard for the 27-7 victory that they won. The contingent of fans and fan- nettes that came with their teams were just about the most loyal “ballet” of rooters that Georgia sup porters have ‘ clashed voices with. They were behind their teams with enthusiasm tha'; was wholesome and full of the tinge of true, sportman- ship.—Red and Black 1 SUPPORTERS? Just to put the matter of cleanli ness in sport on a fair and square baisis so far as the preceding para graphs. aye concerned, and, to expirees the sentiment of the student body, we want to condemn! as intensely as possible, a practice Hint was in evi dence at the latest game played on Sanford Field. Facts are, in all mat ters, important Some of the Red and Slash's sup porters, in their enthusiasm over the prowess of the Bulldog team, wa gered that the opposition would not score. Furman, according to the de cision of the referee, did score; and, as night follows the day, and vice versa, those that staked their money in the aforesaid manilft lost What did the losers do? Why, they paid, of course. But what had they to say? Instead of saying nothing as they, in all probability, would have done had they won, these loyal (?) sup porters of the Georgia team began knocking in a manner that was dis- guesting and entirely uncalled for. In short, they tajd that the Bulldogs laid down. “ ” Any one that saw the game knows that nothing is more false; that the line, as a unit, fought as Georgia always fights against heavy or light opposition. The line - that charged and played defensive last Saturday is practically the same one that halted the best line plungers of the South last year. It played a great game Saturday. And the same earnestness of purpose that characterised the forwards was in the hearts of the backs that carried the ball and nailed the runners of the Furmanites. To put it mildly, adverse criticism of the team’s play in a game of the calibre of last Saturday’s is within the coach’s province. But, when in dividuals, who lose money on the play of as true-hearted bunch of men as ever represented an institution, make such accussations as were made last Saturday, it is well that the sentiment of the student body condemn 'in certain terms such un warranted ahd despicable tactics. Gambling, according to gentleman ly and sportsmanlike instincts, is not an indulgence of commendable na ture. Gambling, coupled with slan der as an apology for losing, is a feeble exhibition of desire tb save self.—Red and Black. The most important bar every prominent man has to face is the bar of public opinion. jiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiimiiimiiimmiiimiiii Georgia Industrial Home Rrintshop i 258-260 Second St. 1 Phone 1671 Equipped for Efficient Service fliiiininiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii IIIHIIMIMMIMMHtMMSIMMMII • ••••HIIMMMMHMIII THANKS- To ALL Mercer Men!
