THE MAROON TIGER
IN THE TIGERS’ PAW
(Continued from Page 12)
history of both schools’ football, and that was last year.
Naturally, the Tiger adherents were eager for revenge
while the followers of the Wolverine were equally clam
oring for more,—like the preceeding year. Anyway,
after the smoke of battle had cleared, Morris Brown
walked away a 21-0 victor. That Tiger Soup was sure
in demand after the game.
It was really refreshing to be able to witness a cheer
ing section at a colored Atlanta football game that would
come up to par with any school in the country. Andy
Lewis and his assistants, Breazeal, Suitt, Darkins, did
wonders with the combined student bodies of Spelman
and Morehouse, completely banished the St. Louis Blues
and exhibited real college spirit. And those sponsors
were virtually knockouts! The Misses Frances Lawson,
Josephine Harreld. Adele Dent. Carol Blanton and Ella
M urray gave the day an atmosphere of college life not
often seen down in these parts among Afro-American col
leges. Long live the up-heaval in cheering sections.
Games with Clark. Talladega and Fisk are yet to be
played, and will completely fill the remainder of the
Morehouse football schedule. From results of the first
half of the present season it would seem that the teams
are practically matched. Clark and Talladega played
a 0-0 game recently, while Fisk won by a low score from
Talladega. Of course, as had been said before, predict
ing is dangerous, but it can be safely predicted that all
three of the teams will be tough opponents for the Tiger
and a great battle will be expected.
While looking into the record for the past fifteen
years it was found that Clark has won 4 while losing 8
to the Maroon and White. Fisk has lost 8 while win
ning 5. Talladega has 3 w r on and 7 lost to her credit.
After the twenty-sixth of November, what will the rec
ords read?
With the coming of Ellis, the coaching staff has been
increased to three. Incidentally, three Morehouse men.
Ellis, who received his A. B. in ’30, was a fixture in
the end position for a number of years and it will be
remembered by “old timers that he was one of the best
pass snaggers of his day.

JULIA PETERKIN, GUEST AT SPELMAN
(Continued from Page 13)
M rs. Peterkin had a message for the youth who re
garded her eagerly and curiously. In substance she
said that youth has a chance to choose what he is to do.
It is his duty to choose while he is young in what way
he is to express life. There is a warning in these words:
“Live your own life. Never listen to a criticism of a
thing done honestly. Do a thing as you see it, but do
your best always.” Mrs. Peterkin stated that there are
roots within us out of which must spring creation; but
that in all forms of expression it is one’s obligation
to tell the “Honest-to-God truth.”
The students were well pleased with Mrs. Peterkin and
went away vowing to take her advice in all things they
did from that day, forever.
