PANTHER NINE to-
MEET MERCERITES|
HERE THIS WEEK

The Painters are putting in long
period practices this week getting in
form for Mercer here this week.
Mercer has one of the strongest
teams of the south and the Panthers
Will have to get UP and work in
order to show against them. The
Mercerites are at the present tour
ing in Tennessee and Mississippi and
winning most of their games. They
beat Cumberland Il to 2, whereas the
Panthers beat them to 0.
According to reports sent out from
the Mercer headquarters, the Bap-
lists are to meet the FATHERS here
Friday and Saturday, ending a nine
day road trip, but according to the
Panther schedule the Mercerites are
to play here only on Saturday. What
ever might be the case, if the Mercer
nine lands in the city in time for
Friday game they will more than
likely get it out of the Panthers.
new problem that developed on
the Panthers' road trip was one at
third base Ben Englebert, varsity
hot corner artist. twisted his knee
in the last Vanderbilt game and hurt
over an old injury that put him up
for over a month during the foot
ball season. Ben will not be able
to play in the coming series, but may
be able to get back into the lineup
by the time of the next game, on
April 81.
"Bullo" Williams is being used
good bit at third and has been show
ing up well. Although an outfielder
and catcher he seems to have the
knack of playing the infield as well
and is expected to fill Englebert's
shoes efficiently while Ben is out.
InficId Still Unsteady.
Although the infield played err
ratio ball as a hole while on the
recent road trip, they should show
up better on their home grounds.
The majority of the errors were made
by infielders. but the experience
gained on the trip should have
tendency toward steadying the inner
defense. The necessary team work to
combat an opponent that is hitting
the pitcher rather freely was not
forthcoming in many of the games
on the road and as the Panthers have
no strike-out artists on their pitch
ing staff, they met with defeat in
the majority of the games.
The pitching staff showed up badly
on the trip with the exception of
two or three games. Hodge turned
