THE ATHENAEUM 71 SKETCHES OF COACH B. T. HARVEY By R. E. Brown, Jr., ’25. The Morehouse athletic devotees well know; the creditable athle tic record of the valiant Maroon and White. They are not fully acquainted, however, with the potent factor of this situation, Coach B. T. Harvey, whose training at City College, New York City and at Colgate, partly explains the basis of such remarkable success. It is Coach Harvey’s aim( to form<ulate in the minds of men who parti cipate in athletics the outstanding principles of manhood. In competi tive games emphasis is laid on the development of co-operation, per severance, clean sportsmanship and idealism,'. The paramount object is to develop a system 1 , of team 1 work rather than individual playing, and to command a thorough knowledge of the rules and fundamentals of the gam,e. Coach Harvey is proving to us that disease can be prevented, that physical defects can be corrected and that through such ac complishments a mental and moral enlightmient may evolve as the ultimate end of physical training. The present year represents the seventh successful year of coach Harvey at Morehouse. The ap preciation for his services and sacrifices is unanimous, and the sup port of the student body for the remaining athletic seasons is as sured. On Saturday morning, December 2, before an enthusiastic crowd of students, the freshm'an and sophonjore elevens clashed on the gridiron, the freshmen winning by the score 7 to 0. Throughout the first quarter the ball remiained in neutral territory, but at the beginn ing of the second quarter Clark, the freshman captain, tossed a for ward pass into the arms of Lawlah, netting a gain of 50 yards. After a series of line plunges, Lights carried the ball over. Lawlah failed to kick goal, but the try for point was given the freshmen because of the fact that a “soph” tackle was off side. Freshmen 7, Sopho mores 0. The second half was featured by line plunges and end runs by both sides, the ball for the most of the time remaining in Freshman territory. The day was against the “Sophs,” however, for they never succeeded in scoring. The game ended with the score 7 to 0 in favor of the Freshmen. ATTENTION! Please Trade With Our Advertisers.
