able to puff up over the outlook for the oncoming season.
Knoxville flood Again
Knoxville has copped the cage
honors twice in succosihm and, 'o
turning such stars as Sa! Sanford,
Limb Joheson Bert. Hubbard, and
Wells to the floor, will lie 1 vored
to repeal. Sal mid Lam > are all

Morris Brown will be as piwer
ful as before Murdock, former
prep star at Baltimore and a eager
of national note, and De L< r
Berry, another Baltimcrian. will
more than make up for the hrs of
"r'its" Carey, all-southern guard.
Daugherty, Rhine Miller, and Can

southern last winter
Watch Tuskegee
Turke has a new .swing ace
named Greene who is arsenic, we
are told La V ’ne Smith, star of
several seasons, will be back, and
a corps of other fine performers
to aid him will make Tuskegee
bear watching too
Click will give them all a rim
for lh'”i e'o-h 'Pin' eligibility of

Bales BDekbmn, and Rochelle

of th" new period Ted Johnson is
hack And they say Waller Tate.
Dimbar High fame, is far from a
Slouch on the floor. Robert Stout
expects to best his -work of last
winter. Ralph Long, Jones, and
McNeil will be remembered for
their demon contortions in the line
up of the champion Omog's last
spring Doug Robin' on will abo
add color and strength Io the out
fit Jesse Arnett will resume work
at center. Edgar Kinney and Rup
ert Bell have shown improvement
Coach Forbes Worried
Morehouse had little or no ma
terial to work with last winter.
Coach Forbes has h ■ . thi : year.
He lost Felix Banks, his only cre
ditable forward. Hatrack Green.
Fuzzy Stewart, Howard. Roy Rie
gals Walker, and Squeak Shep
pard. Only Josh Archer, all south
er center. Maim. Buggs, and Red
Smith remain from last year, and
the let ter trio wee reserves.
Talladega, despite the loss of
Bennington, should be bad this
year They return the Pitts- bro
thers. FJzy Wright. Dizzy Pigrom.
and a horde of others. Pig'-om and
John Pitts, in particular, are both
ersome manipulators of the inflat
ed agate.
Fisk h’s Fisher Kean. Lnwso i.
and a few othe-s aro'md whom t->
mould a five. The v wil' be as hard
hearted as of old, though, it is
feared. And as for Alabama State
Lanky Robinson, and a bunc.i of
new men. will not be enough hell
to supplant Louis Alexander. Wil
son, and others. It looks as if
Knoxville. Morris Brown. Clark,
and possibly Tuskegee and Tall
adega. will have the race to them
selves this time. Potentially. Clark,
doubtless, has a better chance to
win than either the Purples or the
Kaycees.

ALLENGETS IRE
BENEDICTS WITH
8 13-6 SCORE
By J. D. McGHEE
At Hurst field, Benedict and Al
len l icked horns in their annual
Thanksgiving day game Allen
emerged victorious after one of the
most hectic battles witnessed in Co
llumbia in years. 'I he final score
was Allen 13. Benedict 6 Both Al
len touchdowns were scored by Bm
igess. in the second and third quart
ers respectively. The extra point
I was added by Scott after the touch
down in the second by the field i/’.d
[route. Benedict’s score came in the
fourth period on a 35- yard pus ..
] Lipscomb to Diggs.
I The game was beautifully played,
[with Allen displaying the greater
[offensive and defensive strength.
The kicking of Dean for Benedict,
[and Scott, for Allen was outstanding
'as one of the game’s features. For
[Allen, Burgess was easily the out
istanding player, playing defensive
। full. There were v igv few' Bene
[ diets plays that got beyond th“
[scrimmage lino due to his uncanny
'diagnosing of the Benedict plays
lOn the offensive, he scored both
I touchdowns for Allen; the fu st on a
[line buck for five yards after he
[and "Whitehorse" Dicks had borne
I the brunt of an offensive that car
i ried the ball to the Benedict u yard
[line. The second touchdown wa"
| scored when this same Burgess in
tercepted a Benedict pass and ran
about 40 yards after leaping over
[about four Benedict players The
I blocking of Captain Buston on this
| play was important Other Allen
j players who shone brightly were
i Scott. Dicks. Porterfield, Ransom
and Hodges The play of the entire
' Allen line was brilliant,
I Diggs' beautiful receiving of the
I pass from Lipscomb that resulted in
Benedict’s touchdown was easily th?
'brightest Benedict performance
I Thompson. Dean and Captain Lips-
Icomb fought valiantly for the lose:—.
I A crowd of approximately 2 000
। witnessed the game. The enthusiasm
lof the partisans of both teams was
[unusually high, and the Benedict
.and Allen stands vied with each
j other to see who might furnish I'm
I greater amount, of stimulation for
(the teams representing each sd»oi
Allen scored about twice as,many
first downs as Benedict and u
eroded in playing the greater part
of the game in Benedict’s territory,
IA barrage of Benedict forward
I passes during the final moment ; of
'play threatened the Allen lead, but
I the game ended, Allen 13, Bimedic'
6.

on my teams are compelled to have played creditably in the major
portion of the games on the schedule, which must contain at least
50 per cent hard foes. It is with these skeleton facts in mind, that
the Maniac goes about the not at all easy task of staisfying public
sentiments.

THREE TEAMS AND A LISI of Honorable Mention will com
plete my efforts. Lane and Miles Memorial, weak sisters of die t'on
ference, flashed no exceptional performers, and, much to my regret,
have no men qualified for the honors.
MOREHOUSE has had a lean year, but may land oi . or two
men on the second or third eleven Had Jame; star Mar- 'ulhiack.
completed the Tiger schedule, it is likely that he would I ~- landed
a fust team berth. Red Smith, in his last four games, returned to
form, mid will get somewhere.
I M.LADEGA will afford Dizzy Pigrom, Elzy Wright md
Johnson. Pigrom has been the most versatile man on the quad
playing at end and halfback and tossing passes, kicking, and running
like a demon. Knoxville presents Bob Lassiter, who has shown no
respeit for Tuskegee, Morris Brown. Clark, or any other foe. fie
boasts a s’-<ard run through both ( lark and Morris Brown for touch
downs, and had two 30 yard jaunts against the Abbottmen. Besides
he ran amuck on virtually every other foe except Kentucky State.
Coach Wallace Hawkins also has a demon flankman in Wells., who
plays an unorthodox style like Dalrymple.
TUSKEGEE has a bulk cf qualify men in the flashy Me Carthy.
Silvey, and Captain Hockett, and the kicking tackle. E. Adami: who
h.i.'n't been out-punted by a Confermu'e kicker all season. '’illy
Terry, that hell fired leather-lasher up al Wilberlorce has shown lorn
anythin;: like superiority Behher. omowli.it backward at end. and
Me Kume'., al tackle, were also good. Moberly h;;:: enjoyed a cleat
year at quarter
MORRIS BROWN proffers Shag Jones, Tiny Siniih, Spurlock.
Dyke Smith. Abe Walker, Harris, and Stanfield. Only Shag Jones
and Tiny Smith loom as serious threats on the first eleven. Me Le
tuore was only a shadow th s year, ( redell and Rat Williams were
brilliant one Saturday and unimpressive the next. They will not
threaten.
EDWARD WATERS has Armstrong, a capable guard of "I
jJiysicul [lowers and much expei leiwe. mid IWeri'tt and Larkin , two
clever backs n 'he former is a ti iple-threater. Florida A & IVI. lias
Crawford, a young thriple threated back and Maxey Jones, a very
bully wingman.
HALL AND CURITE will be lisk's onti serious threats. Hall
is an end, while Chrite performs at fullback in a biggedy way. Chrite
is one of the best blockers in the section and kicks, passes, and rams
a line with lots of vim. I e is an oldster in the Conference.
THE FRAZIER BROTHERS. A D Brown La h. Co;?,ar. and
Branch have the be : i hance for Alabama Stale. Captain Oran !'
!<•.' ha;, eajoyed ■ good year at quarter. Severn Frazier never looked
beLi r carrying the pill and did lots of damage with Ins long ton li
down passe.- A I) Brown was slightly below par Cogar :ufte:<'t
lot.-, of pre;tiye by injury Lash, left tackle, was a devil in disguise,
showing merciless use of his big hands. Branch played fathoms over
Co . r at guard. I think, and his skill at opening holes deserves much
merit Drake, center, was also a bear.
( LARK HAD HER SHARE, of super men too. Elmer Baker
stands above them all. But then there is Donald Reeves .who, as an
end. led the Clark team in scoring, and rivalled Me ( arthy lor Con
ference scoring honors with 43 points. Hog Maw Robinson, center,
obscured every pivot man he met and was otherwise useful backing
up the line, breaking up passes, then shifting to an offensive end to
catch passes. Puckett, a young tackle who gave Battle lots of com
petition for his berth last fall, raised lots of hell this year, shading
the great Simon by a slight margin. Jesse Arnett had many wonder
ing who could ram the line hardest, he or Spurlock, or the late Shank
lin. Pinkney. All-American mention last year, was constant and pol
ishc-i in his play. Me Pherson, as a quarter, probably paved the way
to (’lark's nine victories with his superb head work and his running
was pretty consistent, but a more versatile performance would be re
quired of an All-Southern general.
