8 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.” MEDLOCK’S PHARMACY INCORPORATED "Where Lee and Gordon Meet” Ice Cream, Sandwiches Delivered 'We Appreciate Your Patronage” Phone Raymond 3161 CAMPUS MIRROR Compliments YOUNG PRINTING CO BAILEY’S THEATERS Designers and Creators of Distinctive Business Literature 226-232 LUCKIE STREET ASHBY JACKSON 3428 ROYAL EIGHTY-ONE PICTORIAL LENNOX RITZ Students!
