ball over f.or the scores The cheering from the red;and steel section
of the grandstand was deafening when the players signalled that
the touchdown had been made.
“The second and third quarters, were, featured by. mjueh straight
football by both teams. Morehouse tried the forward pass mt)re
often than Union but only a few tiines was it successfully made. ;
In the beginning of the fourth quarter Morehouse fumbled.
Union received the oval, fumbled and recovered quickly and staged
another series of end plays, resulting_ in Jackson getting around
right end and making a spectacular 57 yard touchdown. His team-
mates defended him\ admirably in his flight. Morehouse players
dived after Jackson again and again, but Union’s interference was
working. Jackson kicked goal.
“Resorts to End Plays. Morehouse varied its style of playing
somewhat. In this quarter the Georgia eleven resorted to end plays
and forward passes. A couple of forward passes were completed
nicely but the receiver failed to gain. In the last quarter Morehouse
fumbled when the ball was well down in her territory and Union
recovered it. The red and steel took advantage of this and carried
the ball over for the third touchdown, and the game was over.
“Wilson, a Norfolk lad, was substituted in the 2nd. quarter for C.
E. Jackson for Union and played out the half. His substitution did
not weaken the lineup, for he made long gains immediately after
getting in the ntfxup. Score: Virginia Union 18, Morehouse, 0.”
