THE MAROON TIGER Page 9 ZBriefs yards for the tally. The attempt for the extra point failed. This kid, Miller, will bear watching in future Morehouse frays. Morehouse had one other opportunity to cross the goal marker but failed to score in the face of a stubborn opposition by the Tuskegee line. The break came when ‘'Big Pluto” Scott, receiving the ball on a triple pass, galloped 70 yards to the home team’s 5-yard line. Scott, a sophomore, has recently established himself as one of the best all-round backs in Dixie. He charges fast and hard, blocks and tackles with deadly accuracy, and once in the broken field can do the century in 10 seconds flat. Tuskegee scored twice in the initial period on short drives by Johnson and Adams who were constant threats the entire afternoon. Tuskegee counted twice in the last half also, once in the third quarter on a buck by Mob ley and again in the final period on a brilliant snake hipping punt return by Johnson, Tuskegee’s fleet-footed halfback. The line-up: Tuskegee R. Johnson B. McKinney — Brown Green Gordon H. Adams Smith Mobley E. Adams 0. Johnson Si Ivey MAROON TIGERS CRUSH CLARK PANTHERS, 6-0 November 19.—Displaying a baffling offense as well as a powerful defense, the Maroon Tigers upset the dope to beat Clark University by a score of 6-0, before a crowd of 2000 spectators. In winning this game, More house was able to break a two-year jinx and also put Clark out of the running for the third leg on the Bow den trophy, offered by Dr. Bowden for the city cham pionship. The lone score came early in the first quarter when Richard Ricketts, Clark fullback, batted a Morehouse pass into the waiting arms of Captain “Big” Jones standing on the Clark goal line. Outstanding stars for Morehouse were Lamar, Haynes Boswell, Scott, and Jones. Luminaries for Clark included Ray, Sneed, Wellmaker, Puckett, and Tate. The line-up: Position L.E.

The game started with both teams fumbling. It was a fumble that led indirectly to the lone Morris Brown touchdown. “Shag” Jones fumbled the ball on the kick-off, and Morehouse recovered on the Morris Brown 10-yard line. McCurin fumbled the hall, which was recovered by the Wolverines. Morris Brown, unwilling to take any chanc es, kicked out of danger to the Tiger safety man who in turn fumbled on his own 32-yard line. From that point Morris Brown opened her big guns and carried the ball for the only touchdown of the day. The remainder of the game was a tug-o’-war in which neither side was able to score. The fighting Tigers held a stronger Morris Brown eleven to their lone tally, which shows that there is a wealth of power in the Maroon squad. The line-up: Morris Brown T.

Sweet Hollingsworth R.H Big Jones Spurlock - F.B- Boswell It happened one day as the Maroon squads were fin ishing off their final practice for the coming game. In the gathering dusk, the backfield men threw pass after pass to their receivers. A pass soared through the air and nestled snugly in the receiver’s outstretched arms. “Some pass!” remarked a student to a quiet observer. “Yes,” replied the observer, “it was a nice pass, but it hasn’t got that good spirit behind it. I remember that hack in 1923 a Morehouse team met a tough team at Talladega. The score was tied at the end of the first quarter, 6-6. At the end of the third quarter the score was 12-6 in favor of Talladega. The Morehouse left end opened the fourth quarter by receiving a pass from the quarterback and racing for a touchdown. The score was tied again. The entire quarter was bitterly contested, but those fellows felt the spirit. Two minutes remained to play! The quarterback signalled a play in which the ball was snapped to him, who, in turn, broke for right end. He gave the ball to the half back who reversed the play to the left side and gave the ball to the right end who had come back for it.” The old grad’s eyes gleamed with pride as he con tinued, “Son, that end took that ball and threw the long est pass ever completed by a Morehouse team!’ That end was none other than Howard Archer. The quarterback who received the ball is one we know to day as Dr. C. H. Kelley. “Chicken Charlie” Clark was the halfback, Starr was the left end. The score was 19Y2, the distance of the pass was seventy-two and one-half yards, and the old grad was Morehouse’s fastest quarter back, Bill Kelley.
