When the Alabama State Hor
nets invade Houston, Texas to
take on Coach Sam Taylor’s I‘iai
rie View Panther ; both Coache
Lewis ami Taylor will be confident
of winning- the laurels for flu
day.
Both teams have a very ;mres
sive record to date with the State
Hornets having registered eight
wins out of ten tries; and flic
Panthers having one defeat to mar
their record when the Tuskegee
Institute Eleven slowed down
thmr pace to the tune of 21 to 0.
To date, tin- Hornets have piled)
up 237 point:- to their opponents
80. while the Panthers have regis
tered 223 points to their oppo
nents, 27. The Panthers have a
®kgreat running trio to offset the
^^mili ant passing of Frazier and
the ball carrying contingent that
the Hornets have to offer in this
encounter. While both teams can
boast of strong forward walls,
Coach Taylor is depending on the
passing and kick ng of Love to
keep the Hornet, upset thru-out
the evening
'Che Panther have yet. to win a
New Year's Intersectional clash,
but the Texan are sure of ditch
ing old man Jinx this year and re
g ster a win over the Alabama
State Wol rim
There is little to choose from in
this encounter, with both teams
having what we might call an
eual chance of walking off W'th
the honors for the day. Much will,
depend upon the smarter quarter
back who w ll maneuver his signals
to the best effect, when the time
comes to produce a score.
The game will be played in
Hou: ton. Texas and is scheduled
to be one of the best games fJat
the Eans have wTnessed in an In-’
tersectional meet. A special
train will caray the Student, body,
to witness the clash

Coacii Cleve Abbott’s Tigers of
Tuskegee Institute closed the r
1931 football .season with a de
cisive 19 to 0 victory over the Lin
coln Lions of Lincoln Univers : ty
of Pennsylvania.
The Tigers shot the work to the
Lincolnites which proved to be
too much pressure. The clever
manuvering of quarter back Mob j
ley’s plays hew Idered the Lincoln
outfit and there was nothing in J
store but victory for Tuskegee.!
Only the brilliant kicking of the:
Quaker City Lads saved the team
from be'ng routed.

View Panthers The Panthers are
•the Champions of the Southwest
and have only one defeat to mar
their 1931 record which was ad
ministered bv the Tuskegee Insti
tute Tigers. 21 to 0
The State Hornets have also suf
fered defeat at the hands of ("eve
Abbott’s T : gers. 32 to 7 Still, if
you believe in comparative scores
you have something to shoot at;
however, the Hornets have arg
even chance of registering a win
over the Panthers.
Both teams have played superb
football this season. with the
’Barna State Warrors suffering
two defeats from the hands of
the Wilberforce Eleven of Ohio
and the Tuskegee Tigers.
Since comparative scores have
all gone astray this season, let us
look at the offensive and defen
sive strength of the two teams. To
date, the Panther have piled up
223 pouts to their opponents 27;
while the Hornets have scored 237
points to their opponents 89.
You can bet your boots that the
game will not be a walk-awav for
either side. Still, we can call the
meeting on New Years Day a toss
up. with the game go ng to the
* team getting the breaks at the out-
Aset- Still, there’s nohing certain
—'in this life . . nothing certan but
an occasional depression and
death; so let's wait ami see the
outcome, and don’t be taken by
surprise.

[Abbott's Tigers hammered a n <1
'hammered and then hammcied
some more down h e r e in the
pretty hollow, sunk beneath a vei it ■
able mountain range of pines, on
this beautiful Christmas Day. And
Tuskegee closed its 1931 tootball
season with a decisive 19 to 0 inter
sectional victory ovr the Lincoln
University team of Pennsylvania
Off to a fast start. Tuskegee
swept within the shadows ol Lin
coln’s goal on live plays, but lost
the ball on downs. Three more
times before the first period closed
the Tigers were inside the Penn
sylvania 10-yard line but. failed.
The quarter found them 10 yards
away, a bit weary but muen the
wiser for their offensive effort:
against a team that appeared to
have them outweighed by several
pounds to the man.
Lincoln was content to let Tu
kegee "shoot the works" early but
Tuskegee banged across for a touch
down on the first play that opened
the second period and gamed
momentum as the game wore on
and the heavy visitors became dis- .
I organized and weary in the face ot
the consistent onrush Especially
[outstanding was the mighty driv
ing of McCarthy. .Silvey and the
I other Tuskegee backs.
| Tuskegee's first score was made
by Pullback King who hit inside of
his own right tackle for 10 yards
and not a Lincoln man touched
him. McCarthy stepped back and
cooley kicked the extra point from
placement.
With this advantage Tuskegee
began to battle all the harder and
Quarterback Mobley mixed his I
plays to such an extent that the
bewildered Easterners were push
ed back with comparative ease
Except for some brilliant kicking.
Lincoln would have been routed
The battle see sawed after the
initial score until late in the per
iod when Tuskegee staged a sen
sational 60-yard march without re
linquishing the leather. Starting
on/ their own 40-yard line, the Ti
gers knifed the tackles and split
the guards for more than half the
J distance of the field in eight plays.
| The drive culminated in a touch
| down when Silvey stepped 10
i yards through the wide gape made
Iby B. Me Kinney, the outstanding
lineman on the field and a real
: candidate for All- American hon
or-: among colored football players.
McKinney paved the way for both
j touchdowns over his side of the
[line and his rushing of the kickers
and passers and sensational tack
ling made him stand out through
out the contest. McCarthy was the
big noise in the sustained (10- yard
touchdown drive.
Tuskegee pulled one o f the
cleverest plays the writer ever saw
when in the third period a fake
[kick was transformed into a beau
[tiful e n d around play, which
caught the opposition unawares
The speed and deception of the
perfectly-executed play resulted in
a long gain, only to be called back
,when Tuskegee was guilty of un
necessary roughness.
Confidence abounded in the Tus
kegee camp after Lincoln’s vaunt
ed line had been torn to shreds.
;Tuskegee was doped to have a
hard fight and was expected to try
the air for all of its gains. The first
period punching they gave the Lin
coln players, convinced the Tigers
they could go on straight football.
The third scon.' was the result of
a pretty (>O-yard dash by Smith.
! right end, who intercepted a Lin
:oln pass late in the fourth period
Smith took the toss on the run.
I zig-zagged his way clear of the
[Lincoln left half and then picked
his way neatly through the other
backs. Both attempts to add the
[extra points after touchdowns fail
led. Both teams staged a wild aerial
attack late in the game and honors
were about even for having passes
intercepted.
In the first half. Tuskegee gain
ed 187 yards against 56 for Lin
coln and made a grand total of 260
yards and 18 first downs against
Lincoln's total of 85 and seven
first downs.

Wake Op Your Liver Bile
—Without Calomel
And You’ll Jump Out of Bed
in the Morning Rarin’ to Go
If you feel sour and sunk and the
world looks punk, don’t swallow a lot
of salts, mineral water, oil. laxative
candy or chewing -gum and expect
them to make you suddenly sweet
and buoyant and full of sunshine.
For they can’t do it. They only
move the bowels and a mere move
ment doesn’t get at the cause. The
reason for your down-and-out feeling
is your liver. It should pour out two
pounds ot liquid bile into your bowels
daily. '
