The Mercer Cluster, January 17, 1977 — Page 11
Men’s Winter Intramurals
By David Russell
This quarter at Mercer should
be an exciting, yet busy one for
intramural sporta. The main
activity for this quarter will be
basketball, but this will be
supplemented by various indi
vidual activities to be held on
Wednesdays.
Thia year's intramural
basketball season has improved
somewhat over last year’s, This
year, the twenty-three teams
will play six games each, which
is a two game improvement
over last year. The games will
be held on weeknights exclud
ing home playing dates for the
Mercer men’s and women’s
basketball teams. On each
playing night there will be three
games held, at 8. 9, and 10
o’cldck. Both Greeks and
Independents ahve shown a
great interest in the program as
the season is getting underway.
This interest will hopefully lead
to a successful intramural
basketball with all the teams
exhibiting competitive and
sportsmanlike attitudes. All
students are urged to attend the
games.
The individual events sche
duled for this quarter include
everything from a tree-throw
contest to a badmitton tourna
ment. An event will be held on
each Wednesday throughout
the quarter. Times will be
announced. Please come by the
Intramural office for more
details.

ATLANTA TO MIAMI
that the truckdriver was angry
at us for having slowed him
down.
We continued cycling south
through Brunswick’ and then
fought the rain and bumper-to-
bumper traffice across the
causeway to JekyU Island. On
the fifth day we dryed and
reassorted our gear, repaired
our bicycles, and took a well
deserved rest. The sky cleared
after lundi, and we hit the
beach. After a few hours of
sunning and swimming, wo
'oured the island and headed
back to the campground.
The next day we road almost
100 miles and spent our first
night in Florida at Jacksonville
Beach. After a restful night in
an ocean front motel, Fred and I
mounted our ten speeds and
wheeled south along A1A
toward St. Augustine. We
arrived in the country’s oldest
city around noon and treated
. ourselves to an afternoon of
sight-seeing. We checked into a
small campground south of St.
Augustine just before dusk.
Neither one of us felt like
fixing supper, so we asked the
campground owner to recom
mend a nearby restaurant. He
suggested a fish camp down the
road. The fish camp turned out
to be a dump at the end of a dirt
road that I wouldn't even force a
dog to eat in. We ate at the
Holiday Inn instead. The
restaurant was plush and very
expensive. All the women were
wearing evening gowns and the
men were dressed in coat and
tie. Fred and I walked in the
place looking like a couple of
beach bums. The head waiter
shoved us into a corner where
no one could see us (or smell
us), but we Were laughing too
hard. too feel indignant or
embarrassed. t
The next two nights we
stopped in Titusville and West
Palm Beach. At the latter we
enjoyed some sand and surf in
the late afternoon before
consuming a delicious seafood
dinner. Thai night I sat out by
the beach alone and watched
the surf roll in, while contem
plating, over the events of the
last several days. 1 felt a little
sad that the trip was almost
over, but 1 was happy about the
prospect of going home. I came
to the realization that 1 was on
the verge of accomplishing
something that few people
would even attempt.
The next day, ten days after
we had left Atlanta, Fred and I
wheeled into Steve Taylor's
home in Hollywood, just north
of Miami. We had averaged 80
miles a day, while staying at
campgrounds and motels. We
* had seen miles of beautiful
scenery and talked to people of
all types. We had challenged
the weather, the insects, and
the traffic, and won. On
Sunday. . September 12, the
Taylor’s helped us box our
bikes, and Fred and I loaded a
bus and headed home, the easy
way.
