THE MAROON TIGER
Brown was able able to circumvent the five-man
defense of the Maroon Tide and ring a basket. A
half-minute later, Ahmed Brown rang one which
tied the score and started the Morehouse snipers
to sinking. The half ended 11 to 4. The Hurricane
came back with a loud crash in the last half, and
appeared dangerous for a moment, but Crawford
started to shooting from mid-court, and the am
bitious lads became discouraged. The Archer
brothers at guard and centre played sensational
basket ball, using their extraordinary reaches to
cut off the shots of the A. U. forwards. A. Brown
was injured in a collision in the first half and
was unable to play up to form. Crawford at
guard was sensational, his dribbling, and shoot

A Fool’s Ecstacy
“If I could convert all the forests into one gi
gantic pen staff; if I could convert all the metals
in the universe into one gigantic pen point; if
I could use the azure deep as my writing fluid
and the blue vaulted heaven as my scroll; and if
I could write with the rapidity of the zig-zag
lightning, with thoughts flowing as freely as those
of Plato and Cicero, and write for one thousand
years, I would find it utterly impossible to ex
press my great love for you, my darling.”—F. M.
