THE ATHENAEUM 135 curacy. Sykes lead the parade with 12 points followed by Captain Traylor with 11 and Clark with 7- Sykes performed creditably for Morehouse. A. U. men were so well guarded that the five were only able to make two baskets, one in the first half and one in the last half, the rest of her points coming from fouls. Talladega had a wonderful defense but could not cope with the fast passing system that Coach Harvey has taught his men. The first half of the game was very slow but in the last half the More house players began to shoot with more accuracy and rapidly left Talladega in the dumps. At the end of the game the score was 39— 20 in favor of Morehouse. Capt. Traylor tallied 16 points for More house, Sykes 9, and Clark 6. Cooper, Watts and Solomon made 6 points each for Talladega. From the results of the first four games of the season it seems as if Morehouse, with a little more practice, will lead all Negro Col leges in culling basketball honors. MOREHOUSE COLLEGE RUNS OVER TUSKEGEE 51—9 By L. Slater Baynes The peerless Morehouse Quintette marked up another game to her credit when she decisively defeated Tuskegee’s basketball team Friday afternoon at 4 p. m. Tuskegee started the game playing a jam up five man defease and for a while were able to keep Coach Harvey’s scoring machine from running at full speed. However, due to the fact that all of the Morehouse players are unusually tall and exceptionally fast when getting the ball on the tip, Tuskegee’s five man defense soon lagged behind. Both of the Tuskegee forwards were kept so busy playing a defensive game that they had little time to shoot at their own basket They failed to make a field goal in the first half which ended 26—3. In the second half Coach Abbott sent in a new line up. They fared little better than the first but were lucky enough to run up six points, to Morehouse’s tweny-five- The score would have been much larger if Coach Harvey had not sent in a host of substitutes during the last minutes of play. Clark of More house showed exceptional shooting ability marking up twenty-one points for himself. Morehouse Pt8. Position Tuskegee Clark 21 R.F. Neal Sapp 5 L.F. Pendelton Traylor (C) 8 C.
