Orphans Delighted
At Observing Real
Bears and Indians
YES, THEY MIGHT
PLAY IN DERBIES
Why ■houldnt ’they have been hap
py? Wasn’t it Thanksgiving T Hadn’t
they just eaten a tummy full of turkey
and cranberries? Hadn’t they just
been transported to fairy, land, or so
it seemed to them, where they saw
battle' between Indians and Bears ?
Of course, the fifty-five orphan
boys and girls, hosts of Mercer, at
the Thanksgiving game on Alumni
Field, would have told you that the
Bears did not have four legs nor were
they dressed in great fur coats, as is
every good bear which hails from
fairy' land. They could have told you
that the Indians were not like the
Indians that they had Seen in' the
movies, the few times that they have
been. But the battle was just as
thrilling as if it -had been the real
thing, Indians and all.
Imagine a group of orphans as you
see them every day walking down the
street under the care of some'older
person. They are all dressed alike
and even in thetir eyes, smoulders the
same expression, one of ineffable sad
ness. Thei) picture to yourself that
same group of orphans as they sat
watching the football game, t-heir first
All of the longing had left their eyes
and the expression on their faces
once so wistful had changed for one
of excitement and joy. When one of
the players broke sway for a long
run they woiild utter little smothered
crys of excitement: They in all of
their greenness c enjoyed the game
more than- even the most learned of
the fans.
The girls were skeptical qver the
game and decided that it would have
been a great deal more genteel if the
Bears 1 and. Indians had played a nice
gentle game of dolls. . All of the boys
opinions were expressed by one little
red-head. “Gee, ain’t it great, say
Jim, why can’t we. play like that
Shoot I can catch the bail and run
(hat’s easy. Whee—look at him run.
Say, ain’t it great?”
After the game was over Thanks
giving fifty-five orphans from the Ma
con Homes, numbered among their
thankfuinesses, “We are thankful
'cause we saw the football game this
afternoon.”.

Mercer University now owns that
part of Elm St. between University
Place and Adams St., a stretch of two
blocks, as a part of the university
campus, following a deed made out
by the legal department of Macon,
giving this property to Mercer early
in the week. The deed was delivered
, tb Dr. Rufus W- Weaver as soon, as
it was signed.
The legislature of 1921 empowered
the city of Macon to give this street
us part of the property donated the
' institution for a Greater Mercer, but
no claim was made until recently and
the deeds were drawn lip by the city
as a result of these claims.
The property covering the- two
blocks is said to be some of the most
valuable in the city- It has si street
catr line and other modern city facili
ties. The deeding of this Btreet to
Mercer appears to be indicative of
other improvements to be made on
the campus, and it is generally 'thought
that a vast expansion program is be
ing planned by the University author!’
