MERCER TO MEET PAINTERS FRIDAY
BaptiStS Will Have All Men In Game Against Locals
 In Macon

MACON, Ga. Oct. 23.-(Special)- The Mercer Baptists resumed grid drill Monday afternoon at Alumni field, limbering up after Saturdays performance with Chattanooga and getting set for their four-day grind in preparation for the coming or Birmingham Southern game here this week.
 Alumni Day." one of the big home coming occasions of each year for Mercer graduates, will be elebrateu Friday when the two grid elevens meet, and gala day is being ex- pected. The Georgia State EXposi- tion, which began Monday to be con tinued during the entire week. will be largely attended by Mercer alumni as well as thousands of other visitors, and crowd of 10000 is being eX- pected by the authorities at Central City Park, where the game is to be staged. Extra seating accommodate tions are at present under construc- tion by officials of the athletic as- Sociation,
 That is part of Fridays program. It is calculated that four quarters Of football will take the remainder of the time for the Alabamians during their stay in the Central City. Bar ring any further injuries to players during the coming practices, Mercer expects to enter this weeks game with all her men in condition to an swer the coach's call when they are needed. Morgan, on the injured list last week due to dislocated shoulder, will report for practice this afternoon and believes himself to be in shape for duty on the grid during the remainder of the season. FL lison, for three years a stellar per former at one of the Hanks. has been incapacitated since the Furman setto with a game leg but hopes to re- sume duty tomorrow.
 Another valuable player absent from the lineup against Chattanooga was "Tarzan" Bowling, who this sea- son made his debut at fullback much to the discomfort of the Georgia Bull dogs and Furman's Hurricane. He was called home due to the death or his brother. but whether he will re- join the Baptist clan before Friday is still uncertain.
 With the exception of these three men Mercer is in. first class condi- ton. Nothing but minor inuries re- suited from last weeks fracas. Birm- ingham Southern will face a team Friday that has suffered only one man to cross its goal line during the season. Considering the four teams played thus far, this speaks well for the local defense game. Meanwhile, the Baptists have scored total or only 31 points, which may show that, in the case of at least two games, the offensive was not as effective as 1t might have been.
 Despite three games added to her won column in the last three trials, the Mercerians are by no means talk Ing a vacation this week but are go- ing through some strenuous drilling for their Birmingham opponents, for Coach Robinson expects determin sd attack from them Friday. special at tention is being given an effective defense for the aerial department, as the game Saturday disclosed num- Der of weak points here.
