INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL
After a hectic season of intramural basketball, we find
that the “crabs” are at the top of the heap, with a team
centered around former high school Hashes. The Maroon
newcomers were almost invincible. The freshmen were
hard pushed, however, by the seniors, who shared runner-
up honors. The hard-fighting junior and sophomore
squads were unable to compete on even terms with the
aforementioned teams and had to be content with lesser
honors. The freshmen were represented by Shadowin,
“Joe” Sampson, “Willie” Hill. “Al” Houston, “LiT
Duck” Davis, “Pointucket” Allen and others. Tbe sen
iors were represented by ‘Spoon” Tate, Graham, “Judge”
Woodw’ard and others. The games were quite interest
ing and good spirit prevailed throughout.
IN THE TIGER’S PAW
Our youthful basketball quintet, that numbers in its
ranks Capt. Oslin, alone of tbe higher than yearling
classification, finally hit a winning stride and succeeded
in rounding out a season of hectic play with the captur
ing of a fourth place cup down in Tuskegee. The record
of the basketeers, including tournament play, shows nine
victories and twelve defeats for the fairly decent per
centage of .429.

Since the brilliant beans of “Old Sol” have replaued
“Jack Frost” and his cohorts, the minds of enthusiastic
sport fans have turned to the cinderpath and the dia
mond.
Several aspirants answered Coach Ellis’ initial call
for track rehearsal and proceeded under his very scru
tinizing optics to go through the preliminary calesthenics
so necessary to develop stamina, form and what not.
Among the sprinters are many new faces, “Pluto”
Scott being the only “vet " out to date. Curry, Sparks,
McKibhen and Miller complete a quintet of excellent
hundred yarders. The distance men include U. Robin
son (who copped the cake race again), Brown, Clark
and Denny, Bennett, Howard, Brown and Boswell are
quite adept at hurling the discus and putting the shot.
Peterson. Brewer, Baugh, Godfrey and Thomas are out
for the broad and high jumps and the pole vault,
DID YOU KNOW THAT-
The Xavier boys gave the Southern Conference aggre
gations a lesson in hardwood manipulations at Tuskegee
last month? Bray, a forward for this Catholic bunch,
was the one outstanding performer of the tournament,
with Carlos Parker, 'Bama State captain and pivoter de
luxe, ranking a close second? Our own “Felix” Harris
ran off with the showmanship honors by his superb
dribbling and feeding the sphere to his mates? Lennon
and Knox, two of the arbiters at the tourney, sent about
five men to the showers on personals in each game under
their charge so technical was their officiating? This
type of officiating caused the players to get timid and
slowed up the contests considerably much to the dislike
of the spectators? Bama State evidently has a jinx
on Morehouse when it conies to spheroidal technique
and winning basketball games? Only five men entered
tbe cake race this year, a spectacle that heretofore has
been quite popular? The athletic department’s idea of
interfrat-intramural basketball on tbe campus was quite
a novel one? We came forth with a prediction for a
banner year on the gridiron next year and are supple
menting said forecast with one of an identical sort for
basketball? Bosw'ell is the only man lost from the pres
ent squad by graduation? The Morehouse freshmen
lost to Washington High in the recent tournament spoil-
cored by A. N. Ellis after having met and conquered
Leslie Baker’s five several times during tbe year? Al
though no definite information has been received rela
tive to baseball, Morehouse may be represented on the
diamond this year? Activity on tbe Athletic Field of
A. U. may be initiated in the not far distant future?
Not even the captain of our varsity football squad an
swered the call for spring practice? The quintet of
Page, Clark. Oslin, Harris and Kirtley will be invincible
in two years? Coach Ellis’ all-campus hardwood five
consists of H. Allen and Tate in forwards with Houston
as the pivoter and Hill and Dunn in the guards? His
second team included Sanson and Lamar in the forwards,
Saxon in center, and Bush and the diminutive “Little
Duck” Davis in the guards-?
LAMENT
Once 1 was merry, wild and free,
Like a lark, I’d say, or a bumble-bee;
I went about with a light, gay air
And did mad things and did not care.
But now 1 dare not hold the hand
Of girls I love, nor can I stand
\\ itil one too long- lest I should find
A Critic editor behind
Me with a pad and pencil out
Telling on her and me. no doubt.
