YOU'RE TELLING ME
By John Epps, ’35
Our boys began the season good and they ended the
season good. “Big” Jones, Captain “Red” Smith, Owen
Evans “Josh” Archer, “Ghost” Curry, and Giles Baugh
totalled 10 touchdowns for the season of 1932. In the
Miles Memorial game, Jones, “the Monroe, Louisiana,
Express” made two touchdowns. Likewise “Big” Smith,
with the enthusiastic spirit for glory, enlarged the score
by two touchdowns. And, then, Owen Evans, just for
good measure, shared the glory of “touchdown mak
ing” with one score. “Shipwreck” Kelley made good
three extra points. In reality Morehouse was against
Morehouse, and nothing resulted for either of the two
teams—Benedict, with “Squire” Tarver, as coach VS.
Morehouse. Up at Paine “Ghost” Curry, the football
idol of last year’s intramural pig-skin tussel brought the
bacon home for the Maroon and White with his only
touchdown of the season. “Josh” Archer had made a
vow that, if McCarthy of Tuskegee ever got behind him
after receiving a pass, he would not stop running until
he was sure of his being out of danger. And so, what
happened was that he did receive a pass. McCarthy
chased him; “Josh’s” feet were (was would be better for
he was one) working like a piston-rod of a locomotive,
and sure enough, “Josh” was out of danger for he had
crossed the double line—a touchdown! In the Clark
game a run off left tackle by Giles Baugh, a very prom
ising backfield player of tomorrw, gave Morehouse its
only touchdown. Morehouse was “doped” to lose to the
powerful aggregation from Nashville. But is wasn’t so
with the team, especially “Big” Jones and Evans. In
the first quarter, “Big” Jones plunged center for a touch
down. A pass from Kelley to Archer netted the extra
point. Not another score was made until the last quar
ter, when Evans intercepted a lateral and ran for a touch
down. Evans did the same remarkable feat at Tuske
gee, but did not count for some technicality or other.
