MOREHOUSE CONQUERS TALLADEGA 14-6 November 15th, 1924, Coach Harvey’s Maroon Tigers, play ing a brand of football that was a delight to the eye, swept to a clean victory over the much touted Talladega eleven. The More house offense, coupled with the charging line, played havoc with Talladega’s football hopes. Talladega’s greatest spurt came in the first quarter when she blocked a Morehouse kick and carried the ball to her enemy’s five yard line. Here the Morehouse line stiffened. Morehouse was able to get out of this tight place by completing a 35 yard pass to Allen. In the second quarter 15 yards were taken away from Morehouse on a penalty but on re turning a kick Taladega’s man fumbled and Morehouse covered the ball on Talladega’s 40 yard line, Morehouse now started her march down the field for the first touchdown. A forward from Rogers to Starr added 22 yards, Blocker hit over tackle for five yards, Archer for nine more and Clark on the next play placed the ball on the one yard line. He was given the ball to carry over. Rogers kicked goal. The next forward pass that Talladega used placed them in position to touchdown in the next few minutes of play. Two were completed with Knox at the receiving end. Edwards made 10 yards on an end run and Solomon made five more through the line. On the next play Taladega made her only touchdown of the game. In the second half of the game Coach Harvey put in an entire new Backfield. These have been known as the “Four Horsemen” of Morehouse. W. Scott, Five yard Dago, Sensational Scott, and yardage Tondee. A punt by W. Scott netted 75 yards. Talladega had to kick out from her own goal and only got 30 yards on the kick. It took only a few minutes for this backfield to make the next touchdown of the game, W. Scott carrying the ball over and kick ing goal. When Morehouse received the ball the spectators were amazed at the brillant offensive playing of the Tigers.
