THE MAROON TIGER

floor with renewed hopes and aspirations. They jumped
into the thick of things and literally outplayed their
ambitious, but tiring competitors off their feet.
The game started slow and it was about two minutes
in the initial period before Truitt broke under the
basket to sink a crip, and commenced the scoring. The
Juniors retaliated with a volley of passes and shots,
which also, incidently, included a goodly portion of
traveling, double dribbling, and what-not.
“Slim” Scott, who matriculated at the pivot position
for the losers and who tips the scales at 125 pounds,
and stands some seven feet, minus his “dog covers,”
thrilled the spectators again and again with his con
sistency in missing crips directly under the basket.
Outstanding in their work for the Sophomores were
Dunn, Truitt, and E. Jones, while Graham and Web-
ter gave a good account of themselves for the upper
classmen. Another outstanding feature of the fracas was
the number of fouls called on “Slim.” He committed
an even dozen.

JUNIORS EMERGE VICTORIOUS IN BATTLE
OF UPPERCLASSMEN
In the traditional battle between the resides of Robert
Hall, the Juniors upset the dope and trounced their old
rivals, the Seniors. When the timekeeper’s whistle end
ed festivities, the count stood 35-26 a margin of nine
points. With due respect to Captain “Lightning” Curry’s
raggedy five, it must be stated that he was without the
service of “Shipwreck” Kelly, stellar guard, who is a
good floor man and an exceptional shooter from close
range.
High scoring honors went to Captain Curry of the
Seniors, who tallied seven field goals for a total of four
teen markers. “Monte” Graham ran him close second
with double deckers thereby netting him twelve counters.
A feature of the contest was the amazingly low number
of fouls called against the Juniors, two incidentally.
Woodward, last year all-campus man, matriculating at
the pivot position, was charged with both of these per
sonals.
Other outstanding players included “Bear” Robinson
of the Seniors and Lamar and Webster of the third
year basketeers.

FRESHMEN SUBSTITUTE FREQUENTLY AS THEY
TROUNCE SOPHOMORES
The Freshmen took advantage of the dissipated con
dition of the Sophomore Five on the Saturday afternoon,
January 6, and by virtue of frequent substitutions easily
defeated their bitter rivals, 24-20.
Truitt, the scintillating, eagle-eyed, sharp shooting
Sophomore forward, was apparently the only second
year man in form and even he did not exhibit his usual
skill at sinking double deckers from long range.
The Freshmen used eleven men, changing teams each
quarter. The best combination, however, consisted of
Robinson and R. Bennet at the forwards, G. Bennet at
center, and Buggs and Myers in the guards, although
Saxon and Hall showed up exceptionally well for the
second stringers.

TIGERS BOW TO PANTHERS IN TRADITIONAL
CLASH
In a game with hair-raising moments, the Panthers
of Clark University turned back the Tigers with a count
of 27-19. The score does not nearly reveal the truth
of just how closely played the spectacle was.
Morehouse led throughout the first half due essential
ly to the shooting of Baugh, and his nice floor work.
