THE MAROON TIGER
TUSKEGEE DEFEATS MOREHOUSE 20—0
Tuskegee, Ala., November 9—Tuskegee defeated More
house 20—0 in one of the hardest fought games of the
season.
Morehouse led in offensive playing during the first
half. On several occasions Morehouse came near scoring
but each time failed. Tuskegee found it impossible to
gain through the Maroon line, while Mosely and James
dashed through their line for nice gains. The half ended
0—0.
Early in the third quarter, a Tuskegee lineman block
ed Mosely’s punt and raced across the goal for the first
tally of the day. After this, Morehouse came back with
excellent fight, but they could not stop the runs of Shank-
lin and Stevenson, who dashed through the line and
around the ends for long gains. Soon Tuskegee backs
had carried the ball over for two more touchdowns.
Although the Maroon team was greatly handicapped
by the loss of Edmonds, fleet halfback who was seriously
injured on the second play after the kick-off, they fought
hard and did well to hold Tuskegee during the first half.
Stevenson, of Tuskegee made some wonderful runs
for about 40 yards, as he twisted and squirmed through
the Morehouse line.
Duncan, end of Tuskegee, was good at stopping the
interference and getting his man, and he was down on the
punts.
The game was clean and hard, and was played under
ideal football weather.
MOREHOUSE DEFEATS JOHNSON C. SMITH 19—13
Charlotte, N. C., November 23, 1928.—The big “Tiger”
team clawed its way to a victory over the stubborn war
riors of Johnson C. Smith University. Coach Harvey
surprised the spectators by sending in a second team
which displayed a great deal of power, but lacked the
necessary punch to score.
After see-sawing up and down the field in the first
quarter, Smith finally broke the ice by registering a mark
er early in the second quarter on a series of passes and
off-tackle plays. The try for extra point was missed.
The first “stringers” of Morehouse were rushed in and
marched straight down the field from the kick-off to
score a touchdown, Ellis receiving a beautiful pass from
Mosely behind the goal. The extra point was missed.
In the second half both teams opened up a passing
attack which was very dazzling, Morehouse scoring in
the third quarter on a thirty-yard pass from Sanders to
Ellis, who caught the hall behind Smith’s goal line.
Mosely kicked the extra point. Just after the fourth
quarter opened, Steele, of Smith, received a long pass
and was downed on Morehouse’s twenty-yard line, and on
several plays Hall carried the hall over for a score. Biggs
made good a place-kick to tie the score 13-13.
With four minutes to play. James, seventeen-year-old
fullback, took a pass from Mosely on the fifty yard line
and after a clever piece of work with his feet and hands,
crossed the goal line with the winning score. Mosely
missed goal.
lhe offensive work of Sanders, Edmonds, Dunmore,
Ellis, and James for Morehouse, and Steele, Hall and
Biggs for Smith was outstanding, while Pearson and
Mann were terrors on the defense for the Tigers.
