GLEB CLUB HOLDS
INITIAL PRACTICE
“DENGUES” LEAVE
IFOR VANDAS GAME
Fifty N^r Men Out for Ut’s
Organisation.
Crippled Team Hopes to Hold
Down Big Score.
Practically the entire membership
of last year’a Olea Club, together
with over fifty Freshmen, who are
aspiring for a berth on the club, went
through the ordeal of a tryout Wed-
nesday afternoon of this week.
Prof. E. Powell Lee, who is at the
head of the Department of Church
Efficiency and Sacred Music at Met
, is to have charge of the candi
dates for the dub this season, am
has plans tor the dub, which if they
materialise will give Mercer the best
Glee Club she has ever. had. \
A wealth of good material among
the new men has been unearthed and
It is thought some of the old mem
bers will have to “hit ’em high” if
they treivel about with the organisa
tion again this year.
’ . . More Tryouts
With such a big number bidding for
a position,' several will have to be
dropped. This will be done gradually
as tha tryouts are held until about
thirty , men are left, these comprising
the permanent personnel.
As soon as the club is in a position
to organise, a business manager will
be selected, who will begin immedi
ately to arrange dates for the con
certs. Usually about two long trips
are taken each year, together with
many week-end Jaunts.
Just what Prof. Lee plans for the
program is not known now, but will
be given out as soon as he has looked
over his permanent material. It
safe to any, however, that originality
will predominate throughout; solos,
quartette and chorus singing being
mingled with some snappy comedy
skits.
Girls’ 'colleges always furnish the
thrilla for the dub members each
year, and it is certain that the organ
isation will take in several of these
institutions this season. Including
Wesleyan,. Bessie Tift, Georgia State
College for Women* and possibly
Shorter, Agnes Scott, and Brenau.
Another feature of the organise
tion will be Dan Davis 1 Movelty Or
chestra, which has been augmented
this year with several additional
piecea. Davis ia director of the Mer
cer Band and has l ad considerable
musical experience, having been
member of the Six Society Syncope
tore since their organisation over
year ago. ?
Mercer’s crippled football warriors
entrained yesterday. for the Alma
Meter of Josh Cody to do battle with
(he strong Vanderbilt. Commodores
Saturday afternoon. This is the last
JT the “Big Three” of Mercer's ached-
dle, since the “Dengues” (how’s that
lor an appropriate name?) have al
ready played Georgia and Auburn. In
meeting the Commodores, Josh’s boys
will face some of the best football
men in the South including. Captain
Jess Neely, fast halfback; “Tot” Mc
Cullough, giant end; “Scotty” Neil,
famous for his wonderful kicking and
Bomar, the tackle who made himself
famous in the Georgia game of a
year ago and in the Michigan game
of two weeks ago. That Michigan
game is to be remembered, for Vandy
upset the dope considerably by hold
ing the Wolverines to no points. .'
The “Dengues" will present the
usual lineup of about half regulars
and half second string men, Bince Ed
Irwin, George Harmon, Beverly
Gaines, and Judge Dasher are on the
sick list.’ Capt. Carl Lancaster'is still
too weak to play football, as well as
many of the men who missed the
Auburn game because of sickness.
If Mercer scores, they have done
better than Michigan and if they
hold the Commodores to a compara
tively low score they will return to
Macon heroes.

Freshmen! Look Out For
Mercer’s Only Ohinimin;
Chinese Girl Is Blank
With seven varsity men out of the
lineup, Mercer’s patchcd-up team
sprung a surprise in last Saturday’s
game with - Auburn and bucked a
touchdown over the Plainsmen’s goal
line. . The final count was 60-7 in
favor of the. Alabama boys. • ,
The score does not indicate any
thing concerning the nature of the
struggle. Auburn had to fight for
every yard gained and always found
opposition coming from the side of
the plucky Baptist eleven.
The.,dengue fever, kept seven var
sity men from taking part in-the
game. Those men out were: Captain
Carl Lancaster, “Shorty” Poore, Ed
Irvin, “Kid” Cecil, “Judge” Dasher,
“Bubber” Pope and Johnson.
Mercer’s touchdown came in the
first period, Felder carrying the.ball
over' ufter a series of line plunges
and end nips by the backfieid.
Freshman ladies men, watch your
step! A secret has come tb light
that may mean trouble to the first-
year Beau Brummel of Mercer. Chi
Sun Chan, the only Chinese student
at Mercer, uses plain. American when
he talks to ladies. Someone attempt
ed to. help Dan Cupid (and perhaps
at the same time cut competition tq
a minimum) by arranging to have
this' son of the Orient call on the
Chinese girl at Wesleyan, the only
Chinese girl in Macon. Their efforts
to promote this romance fell flat,
however, for these two from the far
East were too hampered by dialects
and had to converse in English.
Now that 'Chan has tried his hand
at handling maidens in a language
whjch used to be strange, he has
gained confidence and is seeking new
worlds to conquer. FreshmOn, a hint
to the wise is sufficient! Chan is go
ing back to Wesleyan parlors, but hiB
English is far more useful there than
his-Chinese.
