These tickets are now avail able through special arrangements of the Atlanta Clark College Alumrfi Club. * * * * Howard High School really has something to be proud of in the person of Samuel Jamison, for he was a loose-running young man on last Friday night against Price High School. On the first play of the game, he jumped eighty (80) yards to pay dirt, only to be called back for an infraction of the rules. All night long he was literally taking yards. Watch this boy. « * * * The 38th meeting of the South ern Coaches and Officials was hosted by the Atlanta Quarterback Club this past weekend. It is in teresting to note that although the SIAC lost several member institu tions, it is still strong with 17 members. The institutions of the Area Gridders at Morhouse By Edward Bob Brooks 55 prospective Morehouse gridders reported to coach Duke Fos ter, on September 5. This first practice saw 24 lettermen, including seven members of the All SIAC Teams, returning to practice. Ac companing the veterans were 25 newcomers, 14 of whom are from this area. These 14 newcomers should have names familiar to all local sports followers. The local Freshmen Prospects are: ENDS: Howard Johnson 185 lbs. Washington High School Robert McMichael 190 lbs.

Ga. Coach Foster is experimenting with a senior team and he seems to be working for both a good air and ground game. If the Tigers go to the air, they will count on a Coleman to Crutch combination. Quarterback Coleman’s tosses last season averaged 20.25 yds. while Crutch averaged 25.10 yds. per catch. Coleman, leading tackler for the Tigers last season, is trying to improve his own record this year. On the ground the Tigers will probably go with quarterback Isiah Coates and scat-back Clinton Ransaw. Ransaw, leading ground gainer, averaged 5.30 yds. per plunge during the 1959 season. The Morehouse coaches see a lot of improvement in this team but fear that the record books may not show it. Under the skillful guidance of Duke Foster the team assessed a conference record of 5-1 and an overall record of 5-2-1, an enviable conference record which saw the Maroon Tigers emerge as runner-up to FAMU. The Morehouse coaching staff knows for certain that the team will possess two qualities: “It will hustle and be well conditioned.” CLARK LINE; MIGHTY and MOBILE Athletes Need Moral Atmosphere In visiting various training camps in the city, the high schools and colleges alike, I have begun to wonder just what deadly Influ ence in our national culture is sapping the strength and blunting the moral sensibilities of the young men we must count on to keep our sports program in At lanta alive. Our young men yearn for a sense of direction in their lives, and I feel that the coaches are failing to realize this basic need, and are too concerned with the sport itself, rather than with de veloping of the whole boy as is stated in our educational phi losophy. Yes, everybody wants to win, but not in preference to helping each boy on the team understand SIAC now are; Alabama A &M, Alabama State, Allen, Benedict, Bethune Cookman, Clark, Fisk, Florida A & M, Fort Valley State, Knoxville, Lane, LeMoyne, Miles, Morehouse, Morris Brown, South Carolina State, and Tuskegee In stitute. his problems. If we can get the “What’s in it for me” idea out of our minds, I feel sure that game-winning and good sports manship will be found to go hand in hand, and that people will feel proud that their boys are being taught something that’s going to be a Golden Rule in their lives. Everyone admires the coach or player who can lose and win graciously. I think too, that coaches should be responsible for the moral at mosphere of their commands; which means that they should see to it that their own moral stand ards are up to the mark. Reduced to simplest terms, the Schools and Coaches should teach their players that these high standards, along with a keener school spirit, are worth fighting for. Our coaches should inspire our young Atlanta players to pattern themselves after the example of such athletes as Jack Kramer, All-time Tennis Star; Frank Gif ford, New York Giants Halfback; Tom Gola, Philadelphia Warriors Forward; Nellie Fox, Chicago White Sox Second Baseman; and Sam Snead, Top Ranking Golf Pro. Young men, if we are to stay alive and strong, there must be a spiritual renaissance — starting now — in every heart, mind and conscience, not only in Atlanta, but in our country as well.

When I hit the ball I don’tlmow in what direction the ball is going, and I am surprised when it does go down the middle. What is it that causes this uncertain feeling? James Carmichael ANSWER: It seems to me that your problem is muscular co-ordi nation along with a faulty back swing. Unless you have good foot work you cannot maintain proper balance, so essential to good golf. This can be a major problem especially if you did not take any lessons from a Golf Pro in the beginning. Constant practice will help you to keep your muscles in tone, thereby, giving you more assurance and the proper perspec tive in lining up your shots. Try taking your backswing slower and low to the ground, keeping in mind that your weight must shift and your shoulders will follow. By all means let the clubhead do the work. They are made for this purpose. PROBLEM: On par three holes where I see some golfers use an iron such as at Adams Park on No. 5. I find myself using a four wood. Is this unelegant, if there is such a word? Jessie P. Smith ANSWER: After looking up the word in the dictionary — newly coined phrase — I would say no, it is not, for you must play the game that best suits you. Too many golfers try to do what the pros do, but forget that his way of playing is what fits him best and that this has come about through years of experience.
