THE ATHENAEUM
Second Quarter.
Fisk made 3 first downs on an end run of 15 yards by Johnson
and two passes. Morehouse evened this count by line plunges. The
period was productive of two spectacular plays. Harper, quarterback
for Morehouse, scooped up a fumble behind his goal-line, and, with
superb interference by Starr, ran 102 yards for the first touch-down
of the day. Kelly kicked goal. This period was marked with another
brilliant run that paved the way for the second score. Gentry, the
diminutive Morehouse half, intercepted a pass and ran 55 yards be
fore he was forced out of bounds. Kelly completed a series of line
plunges for a touch-down. He missed goal.
Third Quarter
A fumble by Harper on his 30 yard line paved the way for Fisk’s
first score. A pass, Johnson to Lunceford for 12 yards, gave Fisk
her first score. Walker missed goal. The Tigers also added one in
this quarter. Gentry again intercepted a pass and, with Starr cutting
down Johnson and two other would be tacklers, he ran 60 yards for a
touch-down. A pass, Kelly to Galyes, made the point which the re
feree let stand, but finally in the last quarter, after the score was
thought tied by everyone, umpire, spectators, and head linesman, he
claimed that a Morehouse man committed a foul. The official scorer
wonders why he permitted the matter to pass unnoticed at first. A
pass, Johnson to Lunceford, who was standing out of bounds, gave
Fisk her second touch-down. Umpire Sims called the referee’s at
tention to the fact that the receiver was out of bounds, but the re
feree would not hear him. The umpire was standing behind the de
fending while the referee Was behind the other team; the umpire
having jurisdiction in this case. The writer understands that Referee
Robinson is an A. A. U. official and an honorable man; however,
Thanksgiving must have been an off day.
Fourth Quarter
The sun had hidden its face in the west and the game was being
played in the gathering twilight under the moon. Fisk on her own
6 yard line braced and held Morehouse for the first time during the
day. Johnson, standing behind his goal line, hurled a pass into the
Outstretched arms of Lunceford, who ran 96 yards for a touchdown.
Johnson made a beautiful place kick for the point.
