8 The Campus Mirror ^ATHLETICS and SOCIAL PAGE MOREHOUSE EXCHANGE NEWS {From Maroon Tiger, IF. N. Jackson, Editor-in-Chief) Morehouse Defeats Talladega in Two Final Games By “Todd" Henderson A dramatic finish to a rather obscure and drab basketball season marked the two vic tories of the Morehouse team over the ’Degans in a pair of fast games played at the Morehouse gymnasium March 3 and 4. Two weeks previous Morehouse had gone down to a rather ignominious defeat before (lie 'Degans on Alabama soil. This time the tide was turned, a much wiser and faster team eked out a 26-22 and 20-18 point victory. The scores completely tell the story of a hard fought battle between teams of nearly equal strength—clean teams that fought with all they had and then some. Only at the blowing of the whistle was the score decided. Talladega’s height was met with the fierceness and suddenness of the Maroon attack. In the first game Morehouse began a fast offensive and ran up a total of 14 points while Talladega was only able to make two in the first few minutes of play. At the end of the half the home team was reposing with a comfortable lead. It was in the second half that fireworks opened up. Ransom, White, King and the rest of the ’Degans opened up an attack that was so surprising and breath-taking that it com pletely chilled the hearts of the spectators for a while. Long shots seemed to be their specialty and it was only through the phe nomenal guarding of Smith and Stewart that the score did not exceed the danger point. Duck Davis, as usual, led the Maroon at tack, this time with ten points. The second game exceeded the first in thrills. The long lead acquired in the first half of the first game was well met by a strong attack that bespoke the same spirit of the second half of the night before. At the end of t lie first t half the scores were 9-9. Again the >■ second half proved to be full of action as both teams wt mned up to the at- tack. A se ■e-saw battle followed in which sensational shots by ( 'abaniss and Davis brought the 1 crowd to their feet in roaring approval. 1 ’he pla\ ’ing o f Long, Ransom and Wright was outstanding for Talladega, while the entire b earn of Archer, Smith, Cabaniss, Stewart and Davis foug lit their last confer- enee game of the year with great gusto.

Societas Latina Dorothy Hornsby, ’33 An evening of Latin songs and poetry suggests the program of the Latin Club on March 10th. Singing Latin songs gave real recreation and pleasure to the group which informally gathered around the piano in Laura Spelman assembly Room and found the rhythmic beauty which inheres in many of these classics. Zanomia Duff and Alpha Tal ley read some Latin poems calling attention to the odd, but beautiful, style of the Latin writers. The evening was a very pleasant one. f WESTENDAMERICAN”* Shoe Shop 835 Gordon Street, S.W. Shoe Repairing and Pressing While You Wait J. R. BARRON U SON, Props.
