The Fisk Lions passed their way to victory over the Tigers of. Morehouse in the annual Thanksgiving classic of the south at More house Field, the score being 20 to 19. Brilliant playing by members of both teams marked the contest. Capt. “Tubby” Johnson was clearly the center of attraction on the Lion aggregation, although Lunceford, Harris and others of his team mates got away for longer gains than he. With an almost perfect aim, his passes were wtell-nigh perfect. His longest gain for the day was only an end run of 15 yards. The team as a whole was one of the most sportsmanlike elevens that ever came to the “Capital City.” The Morehouse line was airtight from! end to end, and never did the the Lions succeed in going thru it. Gentry and Harper, playing their last year for the Maroon and White, were at their best. First Quarter. In the first period, Morehouse made four first downs on line plunges and Fisk 2 on forward passes. On an attempted pass, John son was downed by Starr for a loss, and, while prostrate on the ground, threw the ball away. Irving recovered and ran 40 yards for a touchdown. Referee Robinson ruled that it was an incom'pleted pass, then a case of evasion, where he penalized Fisk 10 yards. 1 In the struggle the ball was carried back and forth on the field with neither side scoring.
