There are many other men who have yet to don their
uniforms and grace the court. Such luminaries as Davis,
the “Duck”, “Liver” Hamilton, and Waldo Barton, the
guard from Chicago, have not as yet arranged their
programs so as to have ample time for the in-door
game.
Although Coach Forbes never becomes elated over
prospects for any sport, he seemed to have been in a
rather pleasant mood Wednesday. That customary stern
look had disappeared and a smile adorned his face.
That smile may mean something. Who knows?
ATHLETIC CHATTER
The football season is over with its many thrilling
moments as well as a few disappointing ones. The Tigers
got off to a had start by succumbing to Famcee 13-7.
This game was marked by many had breaks which
would have changed the outcome tremendously had they
gone in the other direction. But that’s football! The
Tigers then met and conquered on successive week-ends,
Benedict and Paine Colleges. The scores were 12-0 and
18-0, respectively. The Morris Brown and Tuskegee
games were lost. At this point in the season Coach
Forbe’s machine began to function as a unit, and handed
decisive defeats to Talladega and Clark. Another one
of those bad breaks played havoc with the Tigers in
their final game when they bowed to Fisk, 2-0.
Men, who were outstanding the year round, and who
gave all that they had for the sake of dear old More
house were: Capt. Jones, Haynes, Reid, McFall, Booher,
Cage, Sweet, and Lamar.
The Fisk game sounded the last gong in the gridiron
career of several men. Captain Jones, Booher, Cage,
Archer, and Sweet played their last game and ended
eventful careers.

SENIORS DEFEAT SOPHOMORES
H. C. Jackson
In a game replete with thrills and laughter, the se
niors easily outclassed the sophomores to the tune of
25-0. The old historic gridiron has witnessed many a
spectacular fracas, but never has it been able to be the
scene of a much exciting—yet humorous game. Occasion
ally, the boys seemed to be playing for honors accorded
the varsity, but also at times they seemed to be as list
less as the bashful lover.
The seniors scored in the first quarter on a beautifully
executed pass from Graham to “Lighting” Curry. The
try for ihe extra point was unsuccessful. Adams, the
fleet-footed sophomore halfback, shone out as a threat
when he got in the way of one of Graham’s passes and
scampered some twenty-five yards to the winners’ ten-
yard line. However, the upperclassmen’s forward wall
repulsed the attack very effectively.
The seniors tallied again in the third and twice in the
fourth quarter on end runs by Garlington, and another
pass from Graham to Curry. Graham converted the last
extra point on a line plunge.
The sophomores started using power plays late in
the final period. The sophomores gained again with
Lawrence, 185-pound fullback, doing the bulk of the
work. Their effort to score went for naught as the ball
went over on the thirteen-yard line.
Burton Graham with his outstanding generalship and
fine passing was the outstanding star of the contest.
Other stars were Bailey, Brown, and Houston in the
line, and Curry, Chenault, and Garlington in the back-
field for the seniors. Outstanding players for the sopho
mores were Edwards, Adams, Lawrence, Truitt, Thomas,
and Wilson. The seniors had fourteen first downs to
three for the sophomores.
Coach Bowens rushed “Half Pint” Campbell into a
guard position late in the fray in an attempt to pull the
game out of the fire. His strategy was no good as the
diminuitive linemen could hardly be found above the
turf.
