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.

Kyle T, Alfriend, who attended Mercer in 1804, and formerly, presi dent of Georgia Military-College, at Milledgeville, has been appointed pro fessor of history of education and psychology at Bessie Tift College, at Forsyth, and will take up his duties at an early date, it is said.

He was formerly princi pal of Lanier High School in this city and during, the part year served as chairman of the Georgia Educational Association. 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. DR. J. C.
