REYNOLDS, ’29 / ’ Basketball Morehouse started the basketball season off very slowly. She had only two veterans to send in the initial fray. The effects of the loss of three varsity men were clearly seen. Sykes, Bailey and Traylor were the regulars to graduate. Previous to their graduation Morehouse had not been defeated by a southern team in the last decade. The Tigers began the season by losing to Mor ris Brown. The rookies played well, but experience triumphed over inexperience. Coached by “Whirl wind” Johnson the Morris Brown team co-ordinates splendidly. Score: Morris Brown 37, Morehouse 16. Morehouse dropped the second game of the sea son to the Clark Panthers. The game was a nip and tuck affair, during the first half. During the last half “Squat” Johnson’s eyes became focused on a cerr tain spot on the backboard and it seemed as tho he just couldn’t miss. Archer and Traylor, for Morehouse played an exceptional game. The return game with Clark might prove disastrous to the Panthers as Morehouse is planning a come-back. Score: Clark 24, Morehouse 13.
