22 THE ATHENAEUM MOREHOUSE DEFEATS LIVINGSTONE, MOREHOUSE 13, LIVINGSTONE 0 By 0. E. Holland, ’23. The Livingstone team twenty-three strong rolled out of their berths in Atlanta Friday morning and said “we have comje to win the game.” Over a thousand spectators who witnessed the game Saturday afternoon can bear witness to the fact that they really spoke true their intentions. All the previous reports concerning the Carolina Champions were correct. They presented a husky, hard charging line, with four fast, heavy backs. The team was a hard playing bunch of fighters, “who never said die,” and Morehouse found in the opening game opponents worthy of their steel. Morehouse won due to two periods in the second and fourth quarters, when they played with co-ordination and an absence of fumbling. The Morehouse team showed the expected in the first game of the season,— fumbling and lack of teairi play. The coaches have their work cut out this week before the Tuskegee game at Tuskegee, Saturday, Oct. 21. Morehouse won a well, deserved victory, making 12 first downs to Livingstone’s six. Morehouse used 21 men in the game and suffered in juries. Especially pleasing to the coaches was the work of Williams, center, Howard, guard, Forbes, end, and Jordon, tackle, all new mien. Everyone of last years mien showed up well except Gentry, wlio seemed to be afflicted with fumbling, although he evened up w*ith his work on every defense, proving a demon tackier. Morehouse had the better of every kicking duel, thanks to the deft toes of Kelley and Gayles. Except for the two periods in the second and fourth quarter, when Morehouse made her touchdowns, Livingstone held her own, and the victors will acknowledge they had a job to win. Livingstone brought along a large number of rooters from Salisbury, soirfe motoring down. All thougts are now turned toward the Tuskegee game. It will be the first meeting of these teams since 1919. Fur is sure to fly. A number of automobile parties is going from Atlanta. FIRST QUARTER:—Capt. Weeks of Livingstone lost on his choice on the toss of the coin and Capt.
