T he teams of Atlanta University and Morehouse College were . scheduled to play their annual gamje at Ponce De Leon Park on November 18. Because of the inability of Atlanta University and Morehouse College to agree on the umpire and referee of the schedul ed game, it was cancelled by Atlanta University on November 17. MOREHOUSE 25, KNOXVILLE 0. By Prof. B. T. Harvey. On November 24, before the largest crowd which ever witnessed an athletic contest on the Knoxville College athletic field, Morehouse easily defeated Knoxville, 25 to 0. Capt. Robinson of Knoxville won the toss and kicked-off to Capt. Gayles, who returned the ball to the 35 yard line. The Maroon and White Tigers began to march down the field toward Knoxville’s goal and were halted on the 22 yard line by inches. Knoxville made tw*o attempts to break through the de fense of the visitors and was forced to kick on the fourth down. Here the Tigers were not to be denied longer and, opening a bewilder ing attack of double-passes, delayed passes and end runs, with a for ward pass of 23 yards, C. Kelly to Gayles, they brought the ball ro Knoxville's four yard line and first down. On the 3rd down, C. Kelly went over for the touchdown and missed, the extra point by inches on at attempt drop kick. Knoxville kicked-off to Morehouse again and quarter ended with the ball in Morehouses’s possession on her own 30 yard line. With the beginning of the second quarter Morehouse opened up wfith a new formation and carried the ball over for a touchdown on a pretty 25 yard run by Gentry but the ball was brought back and Morehouse penalized 15 yards for holding. Morehouse lost the ball on downs and Knoxville on the first play kicked to the middle of the field and Gentry was downed in his tracks. Again Morehouse started a march to the goal line, and, after 4 consecutive first downs, Gentry went over for the touchdown, and Kelly added a point with a forward pass to Gayles. At this point Coach Harvey sent in the entire second team and for the rest of the half they battled on equal terms with Knoxville. ATTENTION! Please Trade With Our Advertisers.
