Morehouse Football Team
The Maroon Tiger Squad of Morehouse
College is heralded as the best prepared team
they have had in recent years. Their added
capacity is due to the influx of new ma
terial to invigorate the old which has borne
the Maroon and White the preceding years.
Morehouse lost some of her best players
with the passing of the Class of 1933.
From Haynes Junior College they have
Boswell and LaMar. From Washington
High come Green and Toomer. The Britt
brothers come to us from Florida State Col
lege; Bosten, McMeans, McCurin from Til-
dan High in Chicago. All of these men have
shown themselves to he a group asset to the
team in the early practices and in the first
game.
The coaches are working to co-ordinate
the material. The schedule for the season is
as follows: Florida State College, Benedict,
Paine, Morris Brown, Tuskegee, Clark, and
Fisk.
Again the stadium is crowded with en
thusiastic spectators. Again Maroon Tigers
go out to battle for the old Maroon and
White. The Alumni and boosters of the
Maroon Tigers may look forward to a hap
py return of the football season.
Some Values of Education

cation. Thus he is left jobless—still gloating
over his education while the world drifts by
ever moving toward advancement.
Third—The third type is not nearly so
great a pest as the other two but his utter
lack of purpose stirs one’s anger. This per-
son goes to college simply because “everyone
else does it” or because there is nothing else
to do. Generally he is pushed through as a
leaf is carried down stream by the rushing
tide and he has usually gone through that
institution before he realizes what it is all
about. Consequently his education (if it
might be called such, for surely he has
learned little, if anything) has been only a
waste of time and money. He has no con

tribution to make to the world and wanders
about as aimlessly and shiftlessly as when he
left high school.
Such graduates should be fought against!
The person who strives to get the best out
of college and to make the best of his edu
cation is the one the world is crying for. He
goes to school knowing that there art; great
needs to he discovered there, and he plucks
carefully the most desirable ones. He unites
them into one common unit which eventually
becomes part of himself and puts them to
the best use.
But you might say—“Why should a Negro
spend years of his life acquiring a lot of
chemical and scientific knowledge, studying
Latin and the like when he can only secure
some job that doesn’t require a knowledge of
these things?”
There you have it! There is the solution
to the whole problem. If the Negro is un
trained, cannot prove his real worth and
show that he is capable, he will be held
back. The world is crying for trained men!
It is the educated man who gets ahead every
time.
It is the educated man who, were it pos
sible, would be the only one eligible for the
higher offices of his country. It is he who
is prepared to lead the Negro toward equal
ity. The world is crying for educated men—-
men with brains! People everywhere are
clamouring for well-trained experienced men.
The wise boy or girl peers ahead into that
dark abyss of the future and without fear
plunges ahead—preparing himself to solve
the problems of today.
In wisdom he finds strength; in strength
he finds courage; and in courage he finds
the ability to combat the traditions which
have been built up through centuries of
toil. He is ready to lead his people ever
hoping—ever fighting—ever moving toward
racial advancement. Your race needs you!
It needs you and your children for genera
tions to come. Are you going to heed its
call and prepare yourself to face its prob
lems, or are you merely content to let it
drift along as it has done in past years?
