Doth Mr. Anderson and Mr. McKinney paitl tributes to Atlanta and to Mercer University, and said that any feeling throughout the State that Atlanta is not in thorough sym pathy with the progress' and . devel opment of other Georgia cities and communities is due entirely to mis understanding.

"Veil,’’ said Izzy, “carbolic acid." ’Vat’s dat?” asked Ikey. “‘Dat's good-bye in any language.” TO-DAY’S GAME Cooperation is Pledged Cooperation of the President’s-Club with the University in its project was pledged in -short talks made by va rious members of the dub. Mell. Wilkinson, _ president, and Col. F. J. Piixon 4 jointly presided. ■ Speeches were made by, VV. O. Foote, Robert ('. Alston, Dr- M. L. Brittain arid 4 others.- All stressed the cordial spirit of friendliness -Atlanta’ feels for. Maeon and assured Dr. Weaver that the dub will do all in its power to assist Mer cer in whatever undertaking it at tempts. ill his address Dr'. Weaver discussed the . remarkable, growth of,, secondary education in the State, attributing it largely to the work, of Dr. M: L 4 : Brit- tani, superintendent of the State school system, lie sited the fact that last year there' were -forty-tithe's as many high school graduates in the State o.s ill 190.1. Maurer in Action Coach Stein is bringing with him one of the outstanding bucktield stars of the South in Adrian Mauer; It is to be. remembered that this. Maurer rail' through the whole Tech team for a touchdown from kickoff. Ed Irwin says, “He ain’t goin’ uround MY end!” Consuello Smith says, “He ain’t gdin’- around MY end!” Carl Lancaster, Sid Johnson, Red Simmons, Ike Cowart, Mike Herndon an dabout ten others say, “The same thing the French said to the Germans-at Verdun, goes for this Maurer bint—HE shall not pass!” So— the only conclusion to draw is that Maurer is going to be stopped and thereby the Petrel strength isgo- ing. to' be weakened 4 about ninety per cent. Which is a good 1 way to feel about it. Josh has been warned oil all sides to watch Maurer and his clan of Dengues siiy they are certainly go ing to keep their eyes,on him—as well as- their shoulders arid arms, In addition to this excellent offense, the Petrels have a .strong defensive 4 team holding Tech, Georgia and Se- \Valice, as well as their other oppon ents to'a'low scuire. As was said above, dope favors Oglethorpe, they appear on paper to have tile stronger team. Thtiy are de termined to beat Mercer but Mercer is also determined to beat Oglethorpe. Considering the rivalry existing be- Miss Anna West, sponsor for Sigma Nu Fraternity, and several times sponsor for Mercer athletic contests last year. Miss West is now spending a While in New York, but ex pects to return for annual Pan-Hellenic reception, Dec. 9th. CICERONIANS SELECT FRESHMAN DEBATERS A. E. Moncrief and H. O.

MORE FRESHMEN CAPS At last another order of Freshmen caps have arrived and it, is thought that every new "man will be able to appear in full freshmen dress at the game this afternoon. The first order proved entirely too small for the' increased size of. the Freshmen class and a second or,dei* had to be made to accommodate the 350' new men, , . 4 Before the rush arid grab for'the latest shipment of these, brilliant hued headgears, one was .taken from the lot and carefully preserved for the Mercer Frrishmar. in Skirts, Rodwell by name. .' . ■' ■ After one of the most spirited demonstrations ever held in the Mercer chapel, prior to the Ogle thorpe game, Dr. Rufus W. Weaver broke all precedents for college presidents, when he’ rushed out of ■the chapel door and down to the street. Here-he feverishly waved at a passing autoist. for a ride and immediately got it: The occasion for the haste on-the part of the president was. that in three minutes he had an engage ment with some four hundred Wes leyan .girls -to- 4 speak to them in their morning chapel exercises. Mercer boys-never walk 4 to town because of the kindness of passing autoists. The practice of hanging out. on the corner and waiting 4 for a ride has been prevalent , through out the student 4 body for several years, and the convenience of get ting to town by this means has evi dently been noticed by . our presi dent. Mtiybe the faculty will freeze .out the boys on the. corner from now on. . -; The Cjceronians enjoyed.a 4 good de bate Monday evening by the four most likely freshmen contesting for places on the freshman teat a.
