THE MAROON TIGER Page 9 0v. ^he Niger’s 2W; MOREHOUSE SWAMPS BENEDICT IN HARD-FOUGHT CLASH October 14, 1933.—The Maroon Tigers came into their own in their second game of the season by defeating a fighting Benedict team, who for the past two years have held Morehouse to scoreless ties. Though the Tigers were held to a standstill for the first two quarters, they, after being given a chastising by the coaches, came back in the third quarter and opened an attack that all but swept Benedict from the field. A fumbled ball recovered by Morehouse on Benedict’s 19-yard line was carried for the first touchdown by fleet- footed William Sweet. The extra point was missed by an incomplete pass. After that touchdown, there ensued a kicking duel, which lasted into the fourth quarter, Boswell’s toe being one of the features of the duel. Early in the fourth quarter, Morehouse advanced the ball to Benedict’s 45- yard line. On a delayed spinner, Boswell ran 45 yards with the aid of Haynes’ spectacular blocking, for the second touchdown. The extra point was missed by Baugh. With the vic tory out of their grasp, Benedict opened up a brilliant aerial attack which on two nlays gained about 50 yards. Morehouse tightened her defense and ended the game with the score 12 to 0 in her favor. Sweet, Boswell and McCurin were the highlights of the Maroon backfield, while Haynes and Alexander Reid were outstanding The Line-up: Benedict—0 Briggs Maddox in the line. Position LY L.T.

Boswell FOOTBALL CHATTER Although the Maroon and White gridders pried the lid off the current football campaign by upsetting the dope and losing to a fighting Famcee aggregation, pros pects are great for a successful year. Among the veterans or lettermen to return to the fold in the backfield are Captain Jones, the Louisiana Ex press; Giles Baugh, the sensation of last year’s battle with the Red and Black of Clark; and William Sweet, who gained fame as a blocker and tackier. Familiar faces in the forward wall are McFall and Cage, guards; Reid, tackle, and Archer and Young, ends. The latter is remembered for his much-talked-of performances on foreign soil last year. There is also a wealth of new material both in the backfield and in the line. Those who have shown up particularly well in scrimmage are: Boswell, Green, La mar, Haynes, McCurine, Ferrell, Baston, McMeen, Pier- ro, and others. Besides this array of luminaries, there have been sev eral aspirants from those who starred in last year’s in tramural contests and from the last year’s reserves. Scott, Jennings, and Bennett comprise the former group, while whatley, Booher, E. Jones, Curry, and Alexander form the nucleus of the latter number. It is true that it will be hard a hard task to replace such shining lights as “Shipwreck” Kelly, “Big” Smith, and “Round Man” Bowen, but with the addition of “Inky” Williams to the already able staff of mentors, Forbes and Ellis, this task will become smaller and smaller as the season gets into full sway, and the boys from the Red Hill should end the season in a blaze of glory. MOREHOUSE BEATEN IN STARTER Tallahassee, Fla., Oct. 8.—It was down in the land where summer spends the winter. The Maroon Tiger was stopped at the very outset of her 1933 campaign by a fighting Famcee team, which played a game that was very inspiring and won a well-earned victory. Both teams had many opportunities to score but threw them away. Morehouse had even more chances, but due to the lack of mid-season coordination and the untimely penalties, they could not tally. After kicking off to Famcee, Morehouse stopped a drive on the 38-yard line and the ball went over to the Maroon team. From that point McCurin, a newcomer, reeled off a series of very good runs for Morehouse, but Famcee stopped the Tiger on the 20-yard line. Boswell, being rushed, made a bad punt. This gave Famcee the ball on his own 40-yard line; and after a series of passes, the Florida team worked the ball down the field to the 27-yard marker. From there Johnson threw Wynn a pass to the 5-yard line. Wynn, after tak ing a few steps, fumbled the ball which was recovered by Baugh and again fumbled. This time it was recovered by a Famcee man over the goal line for the first touch down. The extra point was missed. Shortly afterwards, the half ended with Famcee leading 6 to 0. At the beginning of the third period, Famcee kicked off to Morehouse. A kicking duel ensued between Jonson of Famcee and Boswell of Morehouse. The Tigers re ceived the ball on Famcee’s 45-yard line. From there Boswell passed the ball 20 yards to Baugh who put the ball on Famcee’s 25 yard line. Boswell made an other good pass to John Young but the ball was called back due to holding in the line and Morehouse was penalized, putting the ball back to the 39-yard line. The Tigers brought the ball in three downs to the 26- yard marker. From there Captaian Jones threw a very difficult pass to John Young who jumped into the air, snagged it, and then raced 10 yards for a touchdown. Baugh drop-kicked successfully and the Maroon Tigers led 7 to 6. Shortly afterwards, Morehouse kicked off to Famcee. Johnson, of Florida, broke through the left side of the line and ran 60 yards after being checked by Baugh on Morehouse’s 4-yard line. From there the forward wall tightened and after four attempts, Famcee got the ball over by a squeeze of an inch. Wynn plunged through the line and added the extra point, making the score 13-7 in favor of Famcee.
