BACKS TO WALL
Fellows, we have rounded one turn
in the .rugged lane of Mercer’s foot
ball schedule and are facing forward
again. Ip facing forward we must
determine to either win or' to lose
lighting to the last man.
, Three elevens have gone down in
defeat before the valiant warriors of
Coach Cody and these warriors have
m turn been at the small end of the
scoie on three occasions.
Georgia, Auburn,- and Vanderbilt,
known as the “big three” on out’
schedule this year have triumphed
over our crippled team. No doubt
these experienced and heavier teams
would have won over Mercer had our
team been ’in the best of condition,
but. the score would have been very
small if we had been able to present
a varsity line-up in every game.
Dengue fever and injuries have
handicapped our team throughout the
season, but nearly all the varsity men
are back on the field fighting for
. their physical selves. to return in Or
der that they might do . battle - for
Mercer.
These players are sacrificing
great deal for their Alma Mater.
What have you done? What are you
doing? What will .you do? Surely
you will not stand idly by and lend
bo aid to. the great machine that rep
resents- our university. You are as
much a part as the' man on the field
in uniform. Will you act your part ?
This afternoon we have Our first
real test at home and every man who
ever’ hopes to call Mercer his A|ma
\ Mater must be at the game and he
must be fighting when the last whis
tle blows, no matter how. the score
stands for Mercer.
Five more games to play and three
of them on' Alumnj Field. Dp your
part and the team will not fail. Be
there? ' .
DR. DANIEL COMING
Dr. C. W. Daniel, pastor of the
First Baptist church of Atlanta, will
do tbe preaching • at the series of
ser.viccs to be held on Mercer campus
beginning Monday morning.
These services are an annual fea
ture of the college. life, ’ the purpose
being to make a clean sweep of the
campus in the search for lost souls.
Ea h year many men are converted
through the influence of these home
services. , , . *
The chapel period of each day will
be. taken up by Dr. Daniel with
short address and services will - be
held fcgain at 6:80 o’clock in the
evZniifes. There is some likelihood of
a short afternoon session being added ,
this year.
Before inviting Dr. Daniel to come
to Mercer, Dr. Weaver asked every
organization on the campus to co
operate in making the meetings
success in every way. Each class
pledged their sapport, together with
the Y. M. C. A , literary societies and
fraternities. • .

MORAL STANDARDS
The World’s Work asks the ques
tion, “Are the moral standards of
young people to-day on a lower plane
than those of a generation ago ?”
This is a question that is to-day
up the time of editorial writers and
magazine contributors, giving hirth
to criticisms and opinions, pro and
can, from many different types" of
people.
Public opinion to-day is undoubt
edly against boys and girls. This is
brought about probably by them-’
selves in their freedom of dress, free
dom of dancing, easy-going manners,
ahd an increasing comaraderie be-
ween .the sexes.
Although some claim,that boys.are
looser livers, than their fathers and
grandfathers, they will have to ad
mit that they are wiser. College
presidents explain that the increasing
cleanliness Is not on account of. im-
roved morality but because of the
improved intelligence among boys.
Recently in an American university
rigid physical examination was
taken of 7,000 students and only 20
cases of social disease was found,
giving the per cent of .0028 against
5.6 per cent for the general popula-
ion, as was found to be the case
when physical examination was made
during the war.
If some of the gray-haired critics
of the American, youth of to-day
would stop to consider. the facts in
the case, they would necessarily come
to the. conclusion that they are all
wrong. The conspicuous absence of
all false modestry, the consideration
of the consequences -of erring, the
progress-of clean outdoor athletics,
and the disappearance of the saloon
are factors that,have played an im-,
port ant part in bettering the youth
of ; this country. These factors are
here to stay. If none Others are ever
added, these alone will be sufficient
to keep the young people of thiq
country on the upward- march.
are obtained. In apito of the lack of
equipment, Mr. Moffat, tbe Physical
Director, is accomplishing great re
sults. —Orange and Blue.
Agues Scott
Prepared to Vote
On last Thursday night a Jdiior
League of Women Voters was organ
ized at Agnes Scott. This League
will constitute a part of the National
League of Women Voters, the head
quarters of which are in Washington.
The purpose of this organisation is
“to develop the woman citizen into’
an intelligent and self-directing voter
and to turn her vote toward con
structive social ends.” To put this
purpose into qffact the League has
established thre^ principal depart
ments of work: (1) citizenship; (2)
legislation; (3) e... ciency in govern
ment. • —Agonistic.
“Ole Miss”
Gets Stadium
Hurrah! the much discussed, long
talked of idea of a stadium for our
athletic field has at last evolved into
more than mere talk. That “Ole
Miss” will possess a fine concrete
stadium from which the spectators
can view her athletic conflicts is in
deed an assured fact. Already con
siderable progress has been made to
ward the erection of a big up-to-date
stadium. It will not only be a pleas
ure while witnessing games but also
will be quite a considerable addition
to the completeness of our campus
and a source of great pride to all
connected With our' university.
