Morehouse Basketball News
Claretta Scott ’40
After exhibiting at Talladega the pre
vious night some of the fine skill of the
1939 quintet, and whipping the “ ’Dega”
boys by a score of 30-19, the Morehouse
Maroon Tigers came back to their own
gym Saturday night, January 7. to prove
that the same technique was “rabbit’s
foot” on the Tuskegee squad, finaling
their second victory of the season, 30-26.
To a “side-liner,” it seemed to take the
Tigers almost the first half to “key-up”
their own fast-motion powers, which were
goaded to top-notch action after Blocker
was put in. The immediate after-effects
of “Ikie’s” presence were enthralling as
well as expedient when he “bottled-up”
four points for the Maroons, leaving the
score at half-time, 16-15.
In the second half both teams “found
themselves.” The close guarding by the
“Skegee” clan held the “Houses” down
in center away from their goal, limiting
the boys to frantic passing, much of the
time. As much can be said of the Maroon
team, though, because the Alabama hoys
found them unrivaled in speed and
“plenty trouble.” so much trouble, in fact,
that one combatant preferred calmly
drifting out of the heat of battle into the
arms of Morpheus.
As was booked by many, last year’s
“headliners,” Cobb and Coffee, “stepped-
up” late in the game; the former employ
ing his “never-miss” side-court-shot and
Coffee ringing a similar “beaut” at long
range and one free shot. (Coffee had
been fouled on by a ’Bama man, but his
excruciating pain, shown so clearly by his
limping, vanished as quickly as it came.)
The Tuskegee force found that Leon Har
ris had to be reckoned with, despite the
fact that he is new to the harness. Fast-
and-fancy-stepping Wilcox and Echols
are “hustlers,” too, and dependable back
ing for the veteran combination of pre
vious years.
It’s hard to say that Morehouse has a
first and second team. When any changes
are made the substitutes equal their pre
decessors, making for a double strength.
This fact will, no doubt, prove a blessing
in games to come, and remember this,
Morehouse, “Tour sister school is always
for you.”
