And Ready for the

TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE Ala,
Dee 23 Coach Bill Taylor of the
Lincoln University football team
/Irove his charges through a two
hour drill Tuesday afternoon
Coach Taylor did not. spare his
team because of the rain and the
treacherous condition of the
Alumni Bowl turf.
The Lincoln team was sent
through a long punting and pass
mg drill and topped off with an
equally as long signal and dummy
scrimmage. The squad seemed in
good spirits. The coach had to con ■
stanll.v caution his men about tak
ing unduly fast turns and twists on
the slippery grass.
t The punting of Archie Lewis, ace
back of the Lions, was beautiful
to behold He was quite consistent
in booting the soggy ball from bt)
to GO yards. The first varsity back
| field was composed of LaMar,
Baskerville Smith. and Lewis
ICoach Taylor would not indicate
(whether or not this would be the
starting backfield Christmas Day.
Tuskegee held secret practice on
[lie old eamp ground site opposite
the newly constructed golf course
The boys seem to bo tuning in
nicely for the Lincoln tilt. Tus
kegee’s scoring plays wore polish
ed up and several new plays were
t.'riod with pleasing success
Since this is the Im t game of the
season Coach Abbott has said the
bovs will not hold back anything
and that means that plentv of foot
'ball will bo packed into that sixty
minutes of ploy on the afternoon
of Christmas Day.
Meehan Was Good

Mvers At NYU.
NEW YORK 23 'AMP'
The same “influence’' whuh pro
bably kept many colored 'a- of
the varsity squad at New V ork
university during the past few
years, have finally resulted m *11”
ouster of John F. “Chick ' M- - ! m
who brought the school out ol f'i •
wilderness and placed it in the mi
tional football limelight dmim: m
seven years of coaching at th"
great institution. Mi Meli i" "n
nouncert his resignation M""d'v.
Among his chief licutendmts at
the university was Duk Porter,
trainer, who had been nt Syracuse
with Meehan and had bee ■ a foot
ball star in his own riid.ts in
earlier years. Porter, a 1 " chan
built along the Camera a lines, will
probably hand in his resignation at
an early date. Whether it will be
accepted, is not known. ButTt is
certain that whereve^ Meehan goes
Porter will also go.
Dave Myers is probably the best
known colored student who play
ed football under Meehan, winning
national recognition durthg his
years on the varsity. Upon his gra
duation. Myers was given a posi
tion as engineer through the good
influence of Meehan for whom
Myers has a great regard
Others who sought to make th"
team under the Meehan regime

institution w c r c Roseir Hans

man, “Indian Jones, one of the
greatest ends and backs in the
school, and Kenneth Bailey, also a
backfield man. The latter were
never given a great opportunity t >

though Jones, who is still in school ।
is a member, of the track squad. :
being the best shot putter in the
college.

cold and hungry. f ootball games, per sr, wII not draw
crowds. A football game needs a build up as much as a
fight or a World Series- Individual stars, traditional rivalry

Clark and Morris Brown would have drawn five thousands

'The charity tourneys are ingenious if ill-advised- I say
ill-advised because it will be hard to sell them to the public-
Several charity ideas have thudded. Dr. Cravens entertain

ks .- c. i isk. Morris Brown. Alabama, etcetera, are awaiting
a mo c precise explanation of just what this hullabaloo of
raising funds for the unemployed and needy is about, who
gels the dough and exactly how the unemployed arc to he
bcneLtted If this is the case, I do not wish to be n.i ty with
any fiery denunciations, because I have beer wondering my
self just what good a small passel of money would do an un
employed gentleman.
i iT that, it would not hurt the school.-; to :rt a ide smiic of their
athletic t ine to aid and comfort the needy in the race ;f for no
I other reason than to give a certain ting? of gallantry and a.rif ec to
their establishment. 1 pause for a reply and will cont nm- to pan e tin
i til I get one that make.-- sense hecau e.. what’s that? Say the colleges
i don’t make any money themselves and how can charity? Well, that’s
really a:o- k alright. St II and all. a few peniin -hould be queezed
for charity and no better formula could be offered tiiao to suggest
.that the schools take only expenses and the ball park owners refuse
any -hare at all Charity needs that money.
In the meantime, I would like to pat Chief Aiken and Dr.
Cravens and Mr. Harvey on their clavicles for their generous
attitude in setting aside their decided antipathy to the idea
of promoting charity games for the unemployed- Dr. Cra
vens had a great idea even if it did fail and Mr. Harvey
I (heretofore called "Coach") was perfectly willing for the
conference teams to go for money rais ng- Chief Aiken, of
course, wins the banner by promulgating ard executing
handily his idea

assured tliat you will never see a
fiercer attack of two beasts, with
each resorting to if ; own method
of attack over his foe
As to which is the king of the
jungles, remains yet to be seen, the
lion is considered the King of
jungles, remains yet to be seen,
take a Tiger in this affair, because
of the quickm ss of attack that the
Tigers resort to m fightng.
The Lions considered one of the
greatest passing teams in the
Country should be on the alert to
watch the ability of some few of
tin- Tiiske.g i men who are capable
,of Hatching a few of the stray
passes as they are floating in the
air.
