MOREHOUSE LOSES FIVE OUT OF SEVEN
ROAD GAMES
After winning two games from Fisk. Morehouse began
a series of road jaunts that took them to Chattanooga,
Talladega, Montgomery, and Knoxville.
The first game on February 13, was played against
the Chattanooga “Y”. The Tigers took the “Y” into
camp by a 33-25 score. Davis, Archer and Stewart
ran amuck—shooting from all angles. Robinson, of the
“Y” team, was high point man. The game being a
non-conference affair did not aid the home five in the
victory column.
The following Friday, Morehouse again set sail, this
time for Alabama soil where four games were dropped
in succession. The first two were played against Talla
dega; that team taking both games with 34-22 and 28-15
scores. The phenomenal Davis led the scoring for the
Tigers. The first night he ran up a total of 8 points
while coming back the second night with 6.
Alabama State was the winner of the last two games.
These were won by the scores of 31-22 and 31-19. John
son, of Alabama State, played havoc with the chances
of the Tigers as his “dead eye” shooting was responsible
for a total of 23 points for the two nights. In neither
games were the Tigers functioning as they should have.
Substitutions were many in both games. And it seemed
as though the Alabama team had the “Indian Sign”
on the Morehouse five.
The last two games on the road were played the fol
lowing Saturday, against the strong Knoxville team. It
was this same team that had previously beaten More
house in the first two games of the season. This time
Morehouse opened with a strong defensive in the first
game to hold Knoxville to 15 points, while Smith
Archer, and the boys made 20. The second night, how
ever saw a different picture, the strong defense of the
night before was “let down” and Knoxville totaled 41
points, Morehouse made 28. Carey led the Hawkin-
ites in their attack, while Archer and Davis shared hon
ors for Morehouse.
SMITH A\D CABANISS EM)
COURT CAREERS
The hoop season for Morehouse has passed into the
ages. There have been ups and downs—hard luck
and everything else, but through it all the Tigers have
played their usual hard fighting and clean game. There
is a little sadness tinged with the close of the current
basketball season, however. One of the most sensation
al careers of any collegiate athlete will be brought to
a close—that of Red Smith, former all-American foot
ball center, hard fighter, clean fighter, despiser of train
ing, will become one of the past. Somehow the athletes
of Red Smith’s type are not seen so often nowadavs.
His is the one you used to read about. Another career,
not so colorful as Smith’s will also be brought to a
termination — that of Lil Cabanis, whose framework
seems to belie his athletic prowess. Cabaniss is an
other hard and clean fighter whose courtwork is known
throughout the South.
Morehouse was only able to win 8 out of 18 games
played during the season. However, the scores were
usually tight and many baskets resulted at the hands of
the Tigers. Following is an individual score list:
SOPHOMORES CLINCH INTRAMURAL
CHAMPIONSHIP
By John Epps
With one more round to go, we find the sophomore
basketball team with a clean slate. Having beaten the
different classes to tally eight consecutive victories, the
Sophomores outclassed the Roughnecks, a strong aggre
gation composed of Juniors and Seniors.
The “Crabs” unfortunately lost one of their defeats
by forfeit. Of the seven games, they have won one.
The Juniors who rank second have won four of six
games. The Seniors “ain’t got that swing” perfected;
yet they are giving their competitors a stiff battle.
The scores to date are as follows;

The intramural teams hav
e obviously improv
ed since
the beginning of the season
Competition has become
keener. The last
round ol
basketball will be begun
soon. The thrills
of keen
competition, the
accuracy
in passing the ball and in
shooting baskets
will be-
hoove each member to make his team a team of
oneness,
and not a team of
a few individual stars. The best or-
ganized team, the smoothest playing team, the team of
precision is the team that w
ill be the intramural cham-
pions of the season
of 32-33.
So, let’s go and luck to the
best team.
