TIGERS CRUSH CATAMOUNTS
The mighty rush of the maddened Maroon and White was met
with very little resistance when they completely out-classed the Clark
University Catamounts on the Morehouse Athletic field on the after
noon of October 20, 1923. Although led by a new coach, the Cat
amounts did not make the showing expected.
The Tigers received the first kick-off and, by a series of line
plunges, scored the first touchdown in the first four minutes of play.
On the second kick-off Jordan kicked to Clark’s goal line. The Cat
amounts advanced to the twenty-two yard line, but gained only ten
inches before attempting a forward pass. Jordan intercepted the pass
and ran within ten yards of the goal. Jordan carried the ball over
for the second time. Hutt kicked goal. Morehouse again kicked
to the Purple and Black, but they advanced only to the thirty yard
line, when they attempted another aerial attack and the ball was
again intercepted by Williams who carried it over for Morehouse's
third touch down. Hutt’s toe added the usual point. The Cat
amounts received again, but could not maktf any gains. The strik
ing feature of the first quarter was a successful 35 yard pass thrown
by Kelly to Gayles.
At the beginning of the second quarter Coach Harvey sent in
the second team. Archer received a pass and ran to Clark’s two-
yard line, where Scott carried the ball over for the fourth touch
down of the game. Scott made a sensational broken-field run of
fifty-five yards. Blocker carried the ball over for the last time in
the first half. The whistle ended the first half with the Tigers in
possession of the ball on Clark’s ten yard line.
In the third quarter Coach Harvey sent in the third team. They
proved the best match for Clark. Clark made three first downs in
this quarter.
The fourth quarter was quite interesting until the last part when
the varsity was again sent in and began to crush the line that lay in
their path. Spectators were held spell-bound by ten and fifteen
yard plunges by Jordan and Kelly. Kelly scored another touch
down for Morehouse in the last quarter. Williams intercepted a
pass and ran 35 yards for the last touchdown. The game ended
Morehouse 46—Clark 0.
Morehouse ma.de seventeen first downs to Clark’s three, Hutt,
the South’s promising quarterback kicked four out of five goals.
