Pearlie Gaston WOLVERINES JOLT TENNESSEE Humble Tigers 21-8 By JEROME BULLARD The invincible Wolverines broke loose with All-American fury to give Morris Brown a stunning 21-8 victory over Ten nessee A & I State University and chase away those ugly demons who have haunted the Wolverines for so many autumns. The victory was clinched when Solomon Brennan took a 17 yard pass from quarterback Sam Hill and raced 12 yards with it for the Wolverine’s final touchdown in the fourth quarter on a fourth down and 25 yards to go play. But long before that, when the sky were high, and the game was in its first half, it had become obvious that an upset could be in the making. So savage was the Morris Brown defense, it held the Tigers touted offense to one touchdown. And all who witnessed the game will attest to the fact that Tennessee was a badly beaten team. Morris Brown scored its first touchdown on a pass interception by Edward Dean in the first quar ter. Then in the closing minutes of the half, they scored again on a blocked punt by Simon Hubbard which was recovered in the end zone by David Croft. The Tigers then put together a drive in the third quarter to make the score 14-6. Then on a Wolver ine fumble in the end zone they made it 14-8 on a safety. Then came the final quarter and the clinching touchdown. The Wolverine defense, led by Big Alex Miles, Eugene Robertson, David Croft and Earl Griggs con tinued to repeatedly stop the Tiger backs for little yardage. “BRACE YOURSELF” Thes-Arts Theatre, making its first nationwide tour, will present a highly hilarious, extraordinary and delightful Musical Revue in two acts at Morris Brown Gym nasium, Monday evening, October 30, at 8:00 o’clock. “BRACE YOURSELF” has won unanimous praise in New York City.

FLORENCE WILLINGHAM PERSONALITY OF THE MONTH By NANCY CORNEILIUS “A Thing of Beauty is a Joy Forever” “A thing of beauty is a joy for ever,” is a quotation that very well describes our present queen—Miss Florence Bernell Willingham.

While attending Washington High she was a mem ber of several organizations and was also 1st violinist in the school orchestra. Unfortunately, Florence was not able to experience all of the thrill and excitement of grad uation because her senior year of high school was spent here at Morris Brown as a freshman.

We were carried into the swing of the Beatnik ideology by a dynamic as sistant, Mr. Carl Fabrizio, newly appointed to the faculty as professor of dramatics, teacher of dramatics. We were further entertained by great performances lovely solos including, exciting instrumental songs, to bear on a variety of emotions. “Like Crazy,” other wonderful “Beatniks” captured the enchanted audience with a graceful creative dance, a hilarious pantomime, a very crackling sketch of comedy and most of all thrilling arrange ments of familiar Rhythm and Blues pieces. - This, indeed kept us in a full swing of laughter, thrills and gaiety,
