Hill Defend Great Record
COACH JOE LOCKHART
AT THE HELM
Quite unassuming, thought
ful, yet determined in what
ever he does, Joe Lockhart the
indomitable, has moved up
deck to take his place at the
helm, to guide the Purple
craft through treacherous
waters fraught with storm
where angry reefs with ill in
tent lie within his course. But
the master pilot knows the
sea whereon he sails, he
knows his sailors, trusts his
mates, and loves his stokers
in the hole, and, through the
tempestuous sea, with de
struction and with peril
strewn, the able seaman and
his crew struggle homeward
toward their goal.
The purple craft with its
crew is weathering the storm
like a giant oak. Mocking the
winds and their mean ways,
plowing huge waves with firm
assault, and avoiding reefs
with deft precision. Though
her sail is rent by gale,
though her hull is scattered
by reefs, “The vessel grim
and daring” steadily holds
her course; having flounder
ed upon the rock.
Friends and loved ones at
home anxiously await the ar
rival of the craft. They gath
er at sea shore at dawn and
eager eyes scan the blue hori
zon until far into the night
searching for a speck of light.
They love the pilot and his
mates, and all the members
of the crew. They fear no
mutiny or strife along the
way, but they dread the
vengence of the sea. They
know that between them and
their loved ones at sea, many
dangers stand.
The women pray, while the
men hope and only the vet
eran seamen left ashore be
cause of age, feel a sense of
calm.
These veterans know the
master of the craft, have sail
ed with him the seven seas.
They knew him as a deck
hand and have watched him
mount the ranks.
A PEP TALK
If you play a team that’s
good, hit ‘em hard.
If you play a team that’s
smart, hit ‘em low.
If you hit ‘em hard and low,
They won’t even try to go.
So I’m pleading hit ‘em hard
and hit ‘em low.
If you play a team that’s fast,
hit ‘em hard.
If you play a team that’s
slow, hit ‘em low.
If you hit a fast back hard,
It will quickly make him slow.
So, if it hurts hit ‘em hard
and hit ‘em low.
If you play a chesty bunch,
hit ‘em hard.
If you play a cocky bunch, hit
‘em low.
Cocky, fast, smart or slow,
Let ‘em know they’ve met
their woe.
Don’t let up, but hit ‘em hard
and hit ‘em low.
—“Dyche”
ADDITION TO COACHING
STAFF
Before coming to Morris
Brown College, Coach Artis
P. Graves, a graduate and
former All-American fullback
at Bluefield State Teachers
College in Bluefield, West Vir
ginia, went to Morristown
College and served a term of
four years as Coach in foot
ball, basketball and track. He
is a native of Virginia, but
for the past few years he has
made his home in Elizabeth,
New Jersey.
During the year of 1935-36
he was Coach at Shorter Col
lege, Little Rock, Arkanasa, a
sister school to Morris Brown
College.
At the close of his term
there he did graduate work at
Iowa University, Iowa City,
Iowa on his M. S. degree.
Coach Graves, as will be
noticed in the near future is a
lover of “The Great Out
doors”, being a hunter of rab
bits, birds, squirrels, ducks,
and other game.
He is now serving as Dean
of men and as assistant coach
under A. J. Lockhart at Mor
ris Brown College.
He knows each man whom
he commands, and all their
traits, every virtue and every
vice as well as all their
strengths and weaknesses. He
knows the craft from bow to
stern, every mast and sail ancf
rope. He helped to build it
with his own hand.
So inspite of wind and
wave and rock, and vengence
of the sea, we feel that our
master pilot will safely dock
his ship.

Amid the tumult and the
glamour that the Thanksgiv
ing season brings it must not
be forgotten that on Decem
ber 5, the Tuskegee Tigeral
will invade the Gate City for
the closing game of the year
for the Purple Wolverines.
Records show that Tuske
gee is somewhat weaker this
year than in previous years.
But after a keen observation
it is seen that Tuskegee is
gathering momentum as the
season rolls along. The defeat
handed Wiley a week ago is a
challenge to the foes that
“Skegee” meets on down the
road.
Tuskegee will be the first
team that Morris Brown has
met this year that has the
backfield strength to match
the “Thousand Backs”, on the
other hand not so much can
be said of their line which has
yielded a score in almost ev
ery game.
It has been a longtime since
a Morris Brown team has won
from “Skegee” and the boys
all know it.
“There will be a hot time
in the old town” when Coach
Abbott brings his snarling
Tigers in.
This will be the last game
for Parks, Dixon and possib
ly one or two other seniors.
They will be out there giving
all they have for the Purple
cause.
This game will most likely
be a sell out affair as it will
have great bearing on the
Championship of the South
ern Conference. Will see you
there.
