Faculty Frolics
The door to Mercer’s faculty lounge was adorned with black for
mourning earlier this week. Inside, a funeral wreath was set up against
a concrete pillar, along with more black crepe paper and assorted ob
scure symbolic structures. Apparently it was a private joke. “Ill bet
some A TO did it,” one profeasor commented.
Mercer Sports
By MIKE SWORDS
The game Friday night against
Jacksonville was a thing of beauty.
Mercer made no mistakes as they
effectively lassoed the famous Jack
sonville fast break. The Dolphins
sported a large height and weight
advantage but it was all for nought
when it came down to crucial re-
bonuds.
Freshman Steve Moody especial
ly played a tremendous defensive
game pulling down rebounds right
and left against the likes of Jack
sonville’s 6'9” center Dick Pruett
That is not to say, however, that it
was a one man show for four Bears
scored 17 points, an indication of
the balance the Bears possess.
Besides Moody other Bean
scoring 17 were Captain Jim
Hearn, Don Baxter and Tommy
Day Wilcox. Sandy Harris, the
fifth starter, scored ten points
and had fans comparing his re
markable defensive play with that
of departed Bear Ace Butch Clif
ton. Harris played a near perfect
floor game and intercepted passes
in profusion.
The Bears almost literally had a
hero minute as Bear after Bear
rose to the occasion. In the fint
half Jim Hearn and Tommy Wil
cox carried the ball as they scored
regularly. The start of the half
saw Don Baxter throwing them in
from long range and right when it
looked as if the Dolphins would

make it a game sub Chuck New
ton scored five straight points and
the hears were out of danger again.
The only thing that kept the
Bears from beating them even
more decisively was Dolphin Guard
Ralph Tiner who scored 28 points
and played a strong game overall.
Saturday night, however, the
Bears had the misfortune of meet
ing the Eagles of Georgia South
ern, a most unusual team. Unusual
from the standpoint of their shoot
ing percentage which was an amaz
ing 60.8 and scored 107 points to
our 67. Steve Moody led the Bears
with 14 while Fran Florian scored
a staggering 42 points for Georgia
Southern.
Mercer will have a chance for re
venge here Feb. 13. Mercer has
always enjoyed an intense rivalry

many interesting and exciting
games over the years. Look for this
year’s home game with Georgia
Southern to be one of the best be
cause the Bear’s certainly will want
revenge.
Perhaps the Bear’s can rival that
exciting game in 1961 when the
shortie Bears led by Donnie Veal
and Ray Hardeman beat a very
powerful Southern Team that had
beaten the University of Georgia
twice.

altogether.”

Miss Claire Coci, organist and
teacher, was receiver! warmly by
small but enthusiastic audience
Tuesday in Willingham Chapel

Miss Coci charms^ the audience
both with her wit and playing, in
terrupting the usual concert for
mality to demonstrate the “cymbal-
stern” a tinkling bell device played
by a “helper” in the audience.
The “Cymbal-stern” she ex
plained was connected with Christ
mas bells. An old legend recounts
how the Wise Men, when they saw
the star which was to guide them
to the Child, heard bells.
At other times, she commented
upon the Cluster photographer
taking too long to snap his shota
as she was taking her bows. “I
can’t hold that smile forever,” she
said laughing.
