THE MAROON TIGER
27
For life with all it yields of joy and woe.
And hope and fear,—believe the aged friend,—
Is just a chance o’ the prize of learning love.
—Robert Browning.
There are souls in this world which have the gift of
finding joy everywhere, and of leaving it behind them
wherever they go.—Faber.
Betwixt the stirrup and the ground,
Mercy I ask’d; mercy I found.
—Wm. Cander
Be not forgetful to entertain strangers, for thereby
some have entertained angels unawares.—Hebrews 13:2.
Tennyson says:
Men, my brothers, men the workers, ever reaping some
thing new
That which they have done but earnest of the things that
they shall do:
For I dipt into the future, far as human eye could see,
Saw the vision of the world, and all the wonder that
would be;
Saw the heavens filled with commerce, argosies of magic
sails,
Pilots of the purple twilight, dropping down with costly
bales;
Yet I doubt not thro the ages one increasing purpose runs
And the thoughts of men are widened with the process of
the suns.
From Locksley Hall.
I am a part of all that I have met;
Yet all experience is an arch wherethro’
Gleams that untravell’d world, whose margin fades
Forever and forever when I move.
From Ulysses
THE LOVERS’ COLLISION
Grady Farley, ’29
Romance thrives in the southland. This I know. But
I’m skeptical about believing a quaint little story that
my friend Ellis tells me.
He says that all summer one of the fellows that worked
with him, in one of the large northern cities, talked
about, and longed for the time when he should spend
a couple of days with his “weakness” on his return to
Morehouse. And, says he, as sure as headache follows
hunger, the fellow (M. B. we will call him) followed his
summer’s plan.
Mr. B. was received with no small amount of hos
pitality at the home of his much admired pulcritudinos-
ity. Mr. Ellis says further that only Mr. B. can tell
how miserable a night he spent in his honey’s home in
W. His room mate was a Mr. R. who was engaged to
whom Mr. B. thought would some day be Mrs. B. and
Mr. R. talked all night to Mr. B., telling him how di
vine a woman was Miss E., and how much he loved her,
Mr. R. was on his way to Talladega.
TO UNDERSTAND OTHER RACES
A racial discussion group has been formed at Barnard
College to promote understanding of the differences be
tween the races. As an introduction to the subject there
will be a discussion of the origin and development of
the Chinese, Japanese, Negro and East Indian races.
Among those whom it hopes to secure for discussions are
Professor Boas, of Columbia, Professor Bogoras, a Rus
sian Anthropologist at present in the United States for
a short visit after having addressed some meetings of a
scientific character, James Weldon Johnson, Negro poet
and sercretary of the N. A. A. C. P., representing Chinese
students, Japanese and East Indians.

MOREHOUSE HUMBLES STATE NORMAL 25—7
November 17, flashing a surprisingly strong running
and aerial attack against the Hornet line-up, the big
Maroon eleven crashed its way to a decisive 25-7 victory.
During the first quarter the play of both teams was
even. It was in the second quarter that Morehouse be
gan her offensive work. The drives of Sanders and
Mosely and the aerial attack of Brown and Ellis soon
gave Morehouse two touchdowns. The Hornets made
their score just before the half ended.
In the second half Morehouse decided to score some
more, and James, the 17-year-old wonder, began to
smash through the line. Soon there was another score.
In the last seconds of the game, James and Sanders
ripped the line to cross the last white mark with the ball
for the fourth time.
For Morehouse: Brown, Sanders, James and Mosely
were the stars on offense; while Mann, Persons, and Ellis
were wonders on defense.

MOREHOUSE 12—7
November 3 Morehouse and A. U.traditional rivals,
met in their annual battle and fought it out. The final
whistle found the score 12-7 with Morehouse making
a desperate effort to score.
A. U. was the first to score, for early in the first quarter
she took the ball on the 50-yard line and drove it over
for a touchdown. Wiggins did most of the gaining. Near
the end of the first quarter, A. U. blocked a Morehouse
punt on the 18-yard line. Simon, of A. U., recovered the
ball and ran for a touchdown. The half ended 12—0.
In the second quarter Morehouse began to fight and
the driving of James kept the ball in A. U.’s territory
until Ellis blocked one of A. U.’s punts on the 11-yard
line. James drove it over for a touchdown and Mosely
kicked the extra point.
Wiggins was the outstanding player for A. U., while
Latimer and Edwards were the bright stars in the More
house line-up.
