THE ATHENAEUM 21 Athletics MOREHOUSE READY TO MEET OPPONENTS ■ (Extract from New York News.) By 0. E. Holland, ’23. When Coach Harvey w'alked on the field Monday, October 2, a squad of thirty-six men awaited the first command of the season, which was five laps. During the week the number has increased to fifty-three men. All the old men returned in good physical trim. Among the new rpen and reserves from) last year who have shown up well in the training in funda mentals and early scrimmages, are: Nighton, center, from Amjericus, Forbes, end, from Ballard, Jordan, tackle, from Kansas, Parks, tackle, Gadson, guard, Griggs, 210-pound guard, from Texas, and C. Walker, Dunn, Perkins and J. Walker, backfield men. Four teams have been running signals since Wednesday. Friday after noon and Saturday morning were held the first scrimmages. Teams A and B scrimmaged fort-eight mlinutes without a score on a watersoaked field in an intermittent rain which must have reminded the men of the game at Nashville last Thankgiving. Saturday morning teams C and D hammered away at each other for thirty-five minutes with the same result. The scrimmages, though ragged on defense and offense, gave the coaches the desired opportunity of sizing up the prospective candidates and getting a line on the physical condition of the old men. From the outlook at present it is more than likely that the team in the opening game will average over 170 . pounds and will have seven veterans in the line-up from last year’s team; namely, Capt. Gayles, C. Kelly, J. Maxwell, L. Gentry, T. Starr, G. Turman and L. Irwin. The new faces will most likely be picked from Jordon, Harper, Walker, Perkins Gadson, Latimer, Forbes, Dunn and Parks. Morehouse intends to sell season tickets for the four home games at a reduced rate. All games will begin promptly at 2:30 p. m,- Remember the schedule.
