TALLAHASSEE, Fla,, Oct. 21—Gcsh, it’s been another hec¬
tic week end lor us!
Left here around noon yesterday lor Savannah and ar ‘
rived just belore the start ol the Bethune-Cooktnan-Savannaf, j
State contest . . It was great to be in town for our first con¬
test of the season . . .
Included in| the party were Hansel Tooks, Macon “Body
Builder” Williams, Clarence Montgomery, and Evadne Prics-
ter . . All four are employed in the physical education depart¬
ment of Florida A. & M. College . . Tooks, and W lliams arc' |
assistant coaches a.id Montgomery is the mentor for the lab- j
oratory high school . . their mission in Savannah , . to scout
B. C. for the Rattlers encounter with the Wildcats in Daytona- 1 j
Beach next weekend, . .
And by now' maybe you are wondering what ours was well
shall we say . . went went along just for the ride . . .
But frankly, It was more than that . . We felt that inas <
much as we consider ourselves a sports writer (after a fashion),
that we should at least see the hometown team in action once.
Had planned to covering the Ftate-Albany game next weekend
but our dans have been shifted ....
It seems as if everybody and his cousin were at the game.
. . Folk we saw included President W. K. Payne sitting along
the sideline, and at his side was Leonard L. Law, the popu¬
lar pres dent of the local chapter of the Savannah State Col-,
lege General Alumni A sociation. . Also we glimpsed H. B.
“Brick” Mason, Publicity Director Bowen, Wilton C. Scott,
and A1 Jackson, the cage star. . .
Then there was Wilson Hubert on the P. A. system, Amos
Simpson, Althea Williams, Madeline Harrison, Mrs. Wilson
Hubert, the L A. Pykes, Tomm e Smalls (who has invited u
appear on a 15-minute interview over radio station WJIV the
next time we are in town), Raymond Washington, Lester B.
Johnson, Charlie Johnson, Jr., Nelson Freeman, Elmer Dean,
the Frank Cars, Mrs. Thelma Wright. Mrs. John Martin, Dr.

Cla.vs, the Randolph Fishers, Donella J. Graham, Mrs. W. K.
Payne, the E. A. I Ttrands, “Cap" Taylor, the Inn Meyers,
Robert t ii.sley. and you and you and you. . .
And miv to say something briefly about the game . . Rob¬
ert Slocum gave a dazzling display of what a good football
plaver ought tee do . . but perhaps, we should change the state¬
ment somewhat . . what a good back ought to do . . Then may¬
be this s an over statemd it . . . We will repeat an opinion
we’ve often expressed . . Slocum is one of the truly great Lack:!
in the nation today.
Unable to see action in the contest because of inj/.ries
were Joe Turner, end, Thomas Turner, fullback .and quarter
back "Jiggs” Morgan . . . Joe told us that “Jiggs” sustained
his injury n one of the most beautifully executed blocks he
has ever seen.
Oh yes, we forgot to include Dobson of Hopkins street In
the list of people we saw' at the game. . .
Coach Martin has a good little team . . but you know
what . . a good big team is usually much belter than a good
little team . . John Camper feels that State should do some¬
thing further about securing good big men ana he pulls no
punches In say ng that he feels that scholarship aid should
be provided What do you think?
Grabbing a cup of coffee after attending the Delta dance
at the Grove where we ran into some mere people (the former
Eleanor Bryant . . Bubber Perry , , Mrs. Eunice Jones . . Rubber
Coles, the Robersons she the former Marv Curley, and he is
director of athletics at Florida Normal . . Kit Mathis . . Ann

field . . and again . . many many others that Included Hilliary i
R. Hatchett, Mildred Marquis, Juanita Sellers . . we made a j
v.sit or two at such an hour irt the morning, and rushed to S
return here. . .
Ineluded i l our party were two newcomers . Bunky Ma-< j i
thews and Ted Brown, the coaches of the Bethune-Cookmar!
Wildcats . . Stopped for a red light in Waycross and learned j !
that Jacksonville’s Stanton high had defeated the local eleven

Arrived on the Florida A. .v M. campus and one of the j j

vannah State College Athletic
Field, as 3,000 fans looked on
last Friday night.
A wet field, and light rains
during the course of the game.
produced numerous fumbles,
but the Maroon and Gold run-
ning attack was clicking like a
well-oiled dynamo. The Tiger
running attack bogged down,
but they managed to score
twice via the aerial route.
The Wildcats took advantage
of a Tiger fumble at the very
outset of the second period aft-
er both teams had fought to a
scoreless duel in the first peri-
od. Robert ‘ Nancy Hanks” Blo-
cum, the Tigers’ tripple-threat
S k ar halfback and end, fumbled
on the SSC 28. Three plays
later, QB Raymond Thornton
carried the leather across for
the Wildcats. Norman Townsel’s
try for the conversion was good,
and the Wildcats led 7-0.
In the closing minutes of the
^_ nd p * nod a pa “ from QB
Thornton moved , the ball from
the State 34 to the State 4.
Halfback Willie McCoy, stellar
porformer of the afternoon for
the Wildcats, moved the pig¬
skin from the Tiger 2, in an
off-tac'.e lunge, and William
O’Pharrow, another stellar per¬
former for the Wildcats,
plunged acros for the second
TD on a center smash. The try
for the EP failed.
Coining back in the early
minutes of the 3rd period, the
Wildcat's William O’Pharrow
received the kickoff on the
Wildcat 20 and returned it to
the Tiger 48. In four plays
Johnnie Charles springed
tackle from the Tiger 8 for
dirt. Lindsay Harris made
unsuccessful bid for the
and the scoreboard read,
cats 19, SSC 0.
A few minutes later, in
3rd period, the Wildcats’
McCoy heaved the leather
the SSC 18 to Jack
for the 2nd third period
ca t tally The try for the
failed and m the Wildcats
25-0.
The Tigers were still
however. On the kickoff
owing the Maroon and
Wildcats’ 3rd tally. SSCs W.
Johnson, Bainbridge, Ga.,
turned the leather from
10 to the SSC 24. A spectacular
floater from James Neal, HB,
Columbus, Ga., to “Nancy
Hanks” who was pulled down
only 9 yards from paydirt, after
a 65 yard run from SlocBm to
Doc Graham, Palatka, Fla.,
behind the Wildcat goal was
ruled complete becuse of in¬
terference with the receiver.
The pigskin was placed on the
Wildcat 1 yard marker. Doc
Crraham plunged over for the
j l.st State the tally Tiger of rooters the evening, went
and
hopping mad. James Neal’s try
| for the EP was good arid the
| gap was closed to 25-7.
1 The never-say-die Tiger spirit
1 was revived by the 3rd period
TD. The recovery of a Wildcat
fumble’ by Clarence “Fats” Rey¬
nolds, a former Beach High
star, Savannah, on the State 18
set up the 2nd and final TD of
the evening for the Tigers, only
minutes after the 1st tally, early
in the 4th period.
On the next play following
Reynold’s recovery of the Wild¬
cat fumble, Doc Graham tossed
one from the State 15 to Sloeum
on the State 33. The “Nancy
Hanks” scooted all the way to
paydirt from this point, to the
delight of his numerous admir¬
ers. Neal failed to convert and
i the gap was closed to 25-13.
Tiger hopes were running high.
