In this game the Wolves and the Bears fought tooth and nail, no quarter was given, and none was asked. Tonight the status will be the same, as Mercer is stinging under their defeat at the hands of Presbyterian college last Saturday and the Wolves under the combined defeats of Rice and Birmingham-Southern. The invading Bears under the mentorship of Coach Lake Russell are renowned for their wide-open and daring game. This fact is probably what gave the Army such a scare last year when Mercer held them to a two touchdown lead, and finished the game fighting as hard as when they started. The Wolven, mindful of the first two games, will be certain to do their utmost to take the measure of the Bears. Coach Erskine will have one of the strongest lineups of the year ready to throw against the Bears. Sullivan, at center, will be the central mainstay of the Wolf forward wall and Young and Staub will probably start at the end positions. Ut Winters, George Finnan, Ed Fortier, Buster Costanza and the other linemen have been well rehearsed during the week to clear the way for the fast backs in the persons of Daigle, Roy, Sarpy, Martin Jones Record Shows Increase in Registration With enrollment showing a considerable increase over that of last year, registration as yet incomplete, Loyola university resumed classes and lectures for the 1934-35 session.
