Message From SGA Pres
|Our campaign ‘76 has begun. It is now time for each of us to decide
will we commit ourselves to helping ourselves or will we be satisfied
with the short term pacification that has always silenced our cause
in the past? Will we sacrifice some of our precious time and devote
same of our scarce energies to actively support the organization
which shall stand firmly on the aims, objectives, and proposals it
will fight to see implemented. Will you help force Morehouse
College down the righteous path to progress?

Freshmen vs Upperclassmen
The annually Freshman-
Upperclassman football game
got off to a historic start this
year. If the way the freshman
team played the upper
classman is any indication of
foe Class of 1980, potential,
they should be one of our best.
Despite repeated
provokation by the up
perclassman, the freshman
remained poiseo throughout
foe game.
At the beginning the
defenses were tight, but near
the end of the first quarter
things opened up with a quick
score by the freshman for the
first score of the game. Then in

State College employed a sting
defense and a brilliant, well-
disciplined offense to deal the
Maroon Tigers of Morehouse
College a 26-6 early season
gridiron setback Saturday
evening at Lakewood Stadium.
It was the first outing for both
clubs this season.
The Wildcat defense,
spearheaded by middle
linebacker and captain Larry
McPherson, repeatedly th
warted the Maroon Tigers in
their quest for the endzone.
Two Tiger aerials were picked
off by the Fort Valley
secondary while Morehouse
was deep in the opposition’s
territory.
Fort Valley quarterback
Hlly Joe Copeland directed his
unit to 371 yards in total of :
fense. Copeland passed for 188
yards- and two touchdowns-. The >
senior field gehefttt also,4®offed'*

line; scoring his first touchdown
in a Maroon Tiger uni form.

the 2nd quarter, the freshman
scored again making it 14 to 0
in their favor. It was noted that
since the playing of this
traditional game no freshman
team has ever scored first. The
upperclassman, sensing defeat,
retaliated towards the .end. of
the first half with a quick score
making it 14 to 7 in favor pf the
freshman.
It was a very determine
