Charlie Bowen, Mercer’s number one tennis player, delivers a
serve during the La Grange game. Mercer defeated La Grange for
its eighth victory of the season. Charlie did not join five of his
other teammates in the winner's circle, however. An injured right
toe has cut down on his usual hustle, and has restricted him to
play a more defensive game

records in sight
LaGrange falls
natters record 8-5,
by Tom Robinson
Clutter Sports Writer
After an 8-1 loss to Oglethorpe, Mercer’s tennis team bounded
back and defeated Shorter, West Georgia, and La Grange, to push
their season’s record to 8-5. The only netman who won agidnst
Oglethorpe was Tim Anderson, who defeated his man 8-6,6-2,
The next outing was against 2-5 deficit in the decisive third
Shorter, a team the Rears had
defeated earlier in the season
by a score of 9-0. It rained for
two houn before the games
were played, and Mercer came
out on top again, this time by a
5-1 score. Rain came right after
the singles were played, so the
doubles were cancelled. The
next game, apinst West Geor
gia, was almost washed out
completely, but Mercer eked
out a 5-4 triumph after another
one-hour rain delay. The dou
bles team of George Wyche and
Gene Armstrong, and Tim An
derson in a singles match, won
by default. Mitchell Schwabber
and Armstrong gained their
singles victories the hard way.
The Bears continued their
winning ways on Tuesday,
April 28 by defeating La
Grange, 5-4. Mitchell
Schwabber highlighted the
match when he came from a
game, and defeated his man by
a score of 7-5. Wyche, Steve
Cotter and Armstrong also a-
chieved singles victories, as the
doubles team of Armstrong
and Wyche attained the lone
doubles victory. Mercer’s vic
tory avenged on earlier 6-3 de
feat by La Grange.
The Bear’s number one
man, Charles Bowen, did not
win against either West Georgia
or La Grange, but he did gain
the respect of his opponents as
he continued to play on a bad
right toe, injured during the
West Georgia match. How
badly the toe hurts Charles is
not certain, but it has been evi
dent ia the last (wo games that
it has affected his play.
Mercer’s net men are on the
road this week, playing Emory
on Thursday, and Georgia
Southwestern on Saturday.
ATO, SAE, SN, post
softball victories by0n|Sttoon
Clutter Sport! Writer
The Men’s Intramural Softball season is off to quite a start
with three undefeated teams sharing the lead. SAE and ATO
along with Sigma Nu all hold 4-0 standings.
Monday brought the SAE part. But this still was not
enough and Sigma Nu brought
in the two vital runs they so
badly needed at the bottom of
the seventh and won the game,
7-6.
Another heated game
brought the Lambda Chi’s a
well-earned victory as they
finally put down the Lawyers
in the bottom of the eighth.
Hie final score of that game
was 13-12.
Other games showed the PI
Kap’i over Kappa Sigma, ATO
over MIMA, 11-4, and in a fine
game, ATO over Kappa Sigma,
12-7.
and Lawyer teams together in a
close ending with SAE barely
squeezing the Lawyers out in
the sixth inning. The Lawyers
led the game until the third
inning when an SAE rally
brought about a 4-4 tie by
scoring 3 runs themselves. The
Lawyers put forth quite an ef
fort and held the fired up E’s
up until the fifth. But all their
effort proved in vain as SAE
went ahead and scored in the
sixth inning. Jack Bowdin led
the SAE’s to victory by scoring
3 of the winning runs.
Another undefeated team.
Sigma Nu, played the KA’s in a
dose but victorious game leav
ing Sigma Nu with it’s 4th win
ning game of the season. The
scores were tied up in a hard
Played game at the bottom of
the fifth. KA pushed ahead in
the top of the seventh and
scored the run they thought
would win the game. The high-
point of the battle was a spec
tacular throw from center-field
to home plate, which arrived
right on target and put Ed
Heathe out at home. It was
quite an effort on Foster’s
achievement of the sisterhood
both nationally and on Mer
cer’s campus. From its small
beginning on the campus of the
University of Arkansas, Chi
Omega has grown to include
more than 100,000 members.
This membership Includes such
outstanding figures as Marian
Mobley, Edith Hamilton,
Harper Lee, and Senator
Margret Chase Smith. Ihe
stature of these women is re
presentative of the ideals of the
fraternity.
