8 The Campus Mirror <lATHLETICS and SPORTS MOREHOUSE EXCHANGE NEWS Basketball (From Maroon Tiger, II'. Morehouse Turned Back in First Two Basketball Games by Strong Knoxville Five The lifting 1 of the basketball lid bv the Knoxville and Morehouse teams resulted in a two game defeat of the Maroon squad by the Knoxville team. Captain Edwards and Carey of the Knox ville team completely demonstrated that something from which basketball stars are made; and they played so much havoc with Morehouse that at the end of both halves Morehouse was trailing at an uncomfortable distance. However, results proved that the Tiger was just a poor starter, because in the second half of the two games the team steamed up to awe-inspiring heights—put gray hairs in the youthful head of Coacdi Hawkins. In the first game Knoxville ran up a total of 20 points in the first half while More house responded with 11. However, coming back with a strong effort Morehouse made 14 points while Knoxville was barely able to eke out 7 to clinch the game with a 27-25 victory. It was during the last few minutes of this last half that the nerves of the spectators were strained nearly to the breaking point. The score stood 27-25; Grier, a Knoxville sub, committed a foul on the sure-eyed Col lins which gave him one shot. However, fate was against the Tiger and Collins was unable to find the basket. A similar foul on Stewa t a few seconds later gave the same score and the game ended 27-25. Morehouse made a stronger start in the second game than had been made in the first, but even with this encouraging fact Knoxville still led at the half by a far greater distance than a nose. Carey’s shoot ing was sensational. However, the second half brought joy to the Atlantans’ hearts as Morehouse came out with such a strong at tack behind the sensational “Josh” Archer, whose shooting for the night was on a par with that of Carey, the Knoxville star, that when the referee blew his whistle the score was knotted 32-32. An extra 5-minute period was thus necessary which ineidently proved Morehouse’s undoing. Knoxville behind the powerful Carey made 8 points while the Tiger’s best was a measly basket by Ed Davis. In both games Carey was easily the out standing star while his teammate, Edwards was not far behind. Archer was high point man for Morehouse while Stewart, Davis, N.

Walker, (Lincoln) Strange Weather Ella Louise Long, ’36 Thirty-two boarding freshmen at Spel- man College in Atlanta, Georgia are said to have given the surrounding neighborhood a severe shock recently. It seems that the young women had sulked because of the depressing rain that had steadily fallen throughout three days. At the end of the third day a gust of cold wind and the sound of fast-falling sleet so affected these stu dents that their reactions caused observers to feel that they had actually escaped from the jungles of Ecuador. Sleet fell throughout the night of Decem ber 16, owing to the freezing atmosphere of higher altitudes. The sleet ceased the next morning, but in the late afternoon it re sumed its steady beat upon the earth. Oc cupants of Morehouse South dormitory, when awakened Saturday morning, were surprised by a sight so lovely that their disturbed minds became balanced again. The sleet and snow had formed an enhanc- ingly beautiful picture. The trees were laden with tiny icicles along the branches that bent them because of the un usual burden. This picture was such that one artistically inclined would not soon forget it. Nor will persons biologically in clined forget the severe qualms they felt lest the short-lived show of beauty destroy the enduring beauty of the Spelman trees and shrubs. Later Saturday afternoon lov ers of nature could be seen on the campus walking mincingly or sliding gleefully. The crisp, pleasing weather lasted until late Monday afternoon. With the melting of the ice and sleet came relief to the biolo gists and regret to the artistic ones. All The four classes have eagerly begun the basketball season with regular practice peri ods among themselves. Interclass games will be scheduled as soon as the new semester begins; and even more enthusiasm is ex pected than was shown in the snappy soccer games which meant a decided asset to the athletic life of the campus. •E—""—>»—”—""—""—■■—■<—>»——•>—■■—«—••—"+ !
