Howard 32—Livingstone 0 On October f)th the Howard University Bisons opened their season by defeating the Livingstone College team in Salisbury, N. C, by the tune of 32 to 0. For an o])ening game away from home the game was one of the most interesting of the year. Coach AA'est changed his entire method of a])])roach and for the entire afternoon ])ri()r to the game the Bisons w-ere made to learn nexv ])lays and succeeded in doing so to a remarkable extent. For Howard both the first team and the second team shoxved u]) to great advantag<" xvith the Doctor Dan Brown taking the ])re- mier role, xvhile for Livingstone Berry and Butler xvere outstanding.

Howard 19—J. C. Smith 7 Coach AA'est sent his second team out to face the Smith "Bulldogs" in the home open­ ing game but it wasn't for long because the "Bulldogs" broke loose with some too bad football and for a few moments it looked like a Smith day. AVhen Coach AA'est sent out the regulars there was a general sigh of re­ lief jjrexalent in everybody who xvanted the "ole" Bison to romp. Smith actually came u]) here xvith something up their sleeve and after it had slip])ed out, Bogel xvas first sug­ gested for an All-American j^ost which ])Ost he won hands down. It xvas a great game.

Page one hundred seventy-four Howard 7—Aloorehouse 0 Aloorebouse came all the xvay from the Georgia that some peojjle call "dear old;" de­ termined to break that '27 tie game by a nice little margin. They did—the score i.s' jirintecl above. But they sure went doxvn fighting. Captain "Hoss" Ross planted the old ])igskin 'tween the goal posts for the one and only score of the day. Aloorehouse got anxious and gave Howard the extra point by jumping offside on the "try." Marshall and Coles starred in the ])assing act.

Hoxvard 7—AA^est Adrginia 21 While several of the strategists of the team were witnessing the Bluefield-AIorgan game trying to get the "ups" on both Morgan and Bluefield the "A'elloxvjackets" from AA'est A'irginia threw a croxvbar in the "works." But they beat us and beat us fair so there's no kick coining. But, honestly, I think the boys had an off day and no fooling. Jack A'oung and Harry Payne xvere the real How­ ard threats in this game. All the AA'est A'ir­ ginia bunch played well. Hoxvard 13—Atlanta 7 On Noxember 10th Howard journe} ed to Atlanta in that same Georgia spoken about some time ago, and beat Atlanta by the score 13 to 7. The first two scores were made by forward passes and the first one by Atlanta from Edwards to AA'iggins. .A long ])ass from Ross to Coles evened things. It was in this game that Lloxx-ard coini)leted 16 out of 22 forxx-ard ])asses, a new colored inter-collegiate record. Ross, Paine, and Marshall xvere out­ standing for Hoxxard, and AA'iggins, Lamar and Clay xxere best for Atlanta.

Howard 7—Fisk 0 In the LTniversitx- Stadium Hoxvard crushed Fisk by a score of 7 to 0 in the fifth game of the season. Howard greatly outplayed Fisk in thefirst half, but L'isk came back strong in the second half and held Hoxvard closely for at least a cpiarter. The officials seemed to haxe an off da}' in this contest. Hoxx-ard scored 19 first downs to 4 for Fisk, but xx-ere unable to ])ut oxer the score in ])unts but once. AA'ebb, Paine, and Alack were best for Howard. Alack substituted for Siin])son and showed us some of the best end plax- that we hax-e seen so far this season. Brooks and Thornhill were Fisk's best bets.

Page one hundred seventy-six Howard 0—Bluefield 0

In the hardest game of the season the How­ ard Bisons and the Pduefield Big Blues clawed each other and broke each other up gently, and when the smoke had cleared neither team had scored. The Negro nexx-S])apers unanimous!} declared it the outstanding game of the sea­ son. Cain, the xx-onder All-American c]uarter- back of Bluefield, had his leg broken early in the second quarter and jjefore the game xva.-- over his mates xvreaked vengeance on the Bison clan, by sending both Tommy Haxvkins and Jack A'oung to the hosjiital with badly torn legs. There xvere more casualties in this game than all the other games combined -vx'bich caused Coach AA'est no little xx-orrx'.

Howard 0—Morgan 0

Hoxvard journexed to Baltimore and met the Morgan Bears in the new Alorgan ])ark and what went on is unnecessary to talk- about. Both Morgan and Howard xvere xx-ith- in one }-ard of the goal line but neither could score. In this game Alorgan proved a big sur])rise for it xvas thought that Lloxxarfl would score an easy x-ictory. Ex-erything ba])- ])ened at this game, but scoring. N {^^ ISON ^/ 1 9 "2 9 DM u

KL,WM ^% Howard 12—Lincol9 wn 0 Ten thousand football fanatics made the j^il- grimage to (iriffin Stadium last Thanksgiving to witness the tx\-enty-ninth version of the Howard-Lincoln game while ten thousand others equally qurious folloxved suit osten- sibl}- for the same ])urpose but actually to "sit in" at the annual fall fashion shoxv of Negro aristocracy. Lincoln won the toss and elected to take ad­ vantage of the incline and picked down hill to Hoxx-ard's five yard line. Coles returnexl the ball ten yards before being tackled by Douglas. Howard uncovered a consistent of­ fensive and made four first downs in succes­ sion xvhich ])lanted the pigskin on Lincoln's fifteen }-ard line. Llere the Lions, aided by a fi\-e yard penalty, held for doxvns. Lamar kicked out of danger to the midfield. Howard started another offensive. Alternat­ ing off tackle ])la}-s xvith a decej^itive aerial attack, with Alarshall and Payne carr}'ing the ball, the Bisons inarched again to the shadow of Lincoln's goal only to lose the ball on a fumble. Lamar booted again past midfield. Coles returned the kick to Lincoln's ten yard line. Lincoln fumbled on the first ])lay. Howard recox-ered as the quarter closed. LIow- ard returned the compliment by fumbling on thefirst ])lay . Howard started a great offensixe from Lin­ coln's ?>,^ yard line. A twelve yard jiass from Alarshall to Coles xvas ruled successful be­ cause of interference with the receiver. Coles skidded off left tackle for a touchdoxvn and Pa}-ne's droj) kick was blocked. Just as the half ended Payne received a

Page one hundred seventy-eight short pass from Alarshall, and aided by per­ fect interference, made a most beautiful run only to be tackled cjn Lincoln's one yard line just as the half ended. Lincoln showed the effect of Coach Meyer's lecture by varying their attack and matching Howard xvith a deceptive overhead offense. Lincoln kicked to Coles, who galloj)ed to his own 35 yard line. After afirst doxvn had been made by Alarshall, Clark of Lincoln, inter­ cepted a forward pass. Lamar kicked for a touch back. The ball went to Howard on the 20 yard line. Coles kicked to midfield xvhere Jackson, in an attein])t to make a "scoop," fumbled. Sally recovered for Howard. A pass, Marshall to Coles, shortened the distance to the ene­ my's goal by 13 yards. Lincoln subsequentlv made several substitutions. Ca])tain Ross made six yards thru the line and made a first down on Lincoln's 15 yard line. Two attempts at the line failed. A long ])ass to the end zone, Marshall to Mack, sewed up the game for Howard. Coles' drop kick for the extra ])oint went xvide. Martin and Smith made substan­ tial gains for Lincoln near midfield but the Lions never got xvithin Howard's 20 yard line. Clark punted to Payne on Howard's 45 yard line. Alarshall added five yards. A triple pass, Payne to Alarshall to Alack, netted ten yards. Lincoln smothered the next play. A pass, Marshall to Payne, netted thefirst doxvn , Lincoln tried desperately for a touchdoxvn. Three long i)asses in succession netted 65 yards and placed the ])igskin deep in Howard's territor}-. A pass, Afartin to Tein])le, made first doxvn ending the game. For Howard Alack, Coles, Alarshall and Payne were stellar while Alar- tin and Clark xvere best for Lincoln. BASKETBALL

Coach Burr and Ca])tain "Freak" AA'oods steered the P>ison shi]) back into the old C. I. A. A. channel and, xvhile they made a rather sloxx- a])])roach. it was, nevertheless, a xery successful one. One reason wh\- the team had a successful season xxas because they beat the "L" out of Lincoln, and made "sou])" out of Clark, Bluefield and AA'est A'irginia and otherwise made a general favorable inqiression ex-er}-where the}- xxent.

On their first southern jaunt, xvhile the Bisons were taking evervbodv into cam]). Captain AA'oods became sick and was lost to the L'isons for a fexx- games. But "Freakie" came back in time to ])ull many a game out of the fire for old Hoxvard. Along xvith AA'oods, A'an Harris, Siin])son, Hinton, Beasley, Hall, Jimmie Jones, AA'illiams, and Coates shared the s])otlight. Aluch of the success of the basketball season xvas due to the activeness of Alanager (ieorge AA'hitted, xvho made it very comfortable for the boys every­ where they went.

Coach Burr, s])eaking of the men comi)osing the team, made the folloxv- ing statement;

"They are some of the finest men I know and they are ver}- good win­ ners as well as good losers."

On mail}- occasions during the season one ])()int decided a win or a loss to the L^niversit}', i)roying in a xxa}- the mettle of the men on the squad. The three most interesting games of the season and the most pleasant to see w-ere the How-ard-Lincoln game which xvas ])layed on the night of March 21, the Clark University game and the Bluefield game. Bluefield having the audacit}- to try to xvin in (Uir own gymnasium.

Of course xve suffered some reversals this season, for instance in the LIainj)ton, .Seminar}-, and Morgan series. Seminar}- and Alorgan i)rox-ed to be out of our team's class altogether. LUit in the case of Hain])ton just ])lain hard luck and bad "breaks" beat us. Our only consolation xvill be when xve lick the "tar" (,ut of all of them next season. The team record;

Page one hundred eighty-one BASE BALL As usual at the o])ening of the baseball season there xvere many candi­ dates. Coach Burr and Ca])tain Walker faced no little trouble weeding out the better ])layers and i)lacing the ])ros])ective Freshmen on the "peanie squad." This having been done, Hoxvard o])ened her season in the stadium on the Saturday ])receding Faster, ])laying against Storer in the morning and Arnold College in the afternoon.

It marked the first time in the history of our class that a xvhite college team has ])layed in our stadium. .Arnold College had a xvell-balanced team but it could not function against our \vell-"oiled" machines on itsfirst ap - IJearance, so Arnold came back. On Saturday, Ajiril 4, Hoxvard doxvned a fast-going team from Storer College by a score of 11 to 9 then accelerated, met and crushed Arnold Col­ lege by the score of 13 to 6. On Easter Alonday, A])ril 6, instead of playing as per customary on a foreignfield, Howard stayed home, tackled and had thefirex\-orks turne d on them.

Arnold College, after having played Georgetown University in the morning, journeyed back to Howard xvith blood in her eves and xvhen the dust had cleared at the end of the ninth inning, Hoxvard staggered off the field, having been defeated by a 9 to 2 score. The Arnold men seemed to have been inspired by reason of their morning triumph over Georgetown, and knocked the old a])ple all over the field. No less than ten brand new balls' were lost in this game via the foul ball—fence play.

At the beginning of the season man}- of the old A'ets were in uniform including such men as Ross atfirst. Coles at second. Tick Smith in center. Mask at third, Roy and Slade, i)itchers, Patterson in right and Jimmy Shields.

Rain also ])la}-ed bax-oc during the baseball season. .Sexeral of the major games xvere caused to be cancelled from the schedule due to this element.

Two southern teams came uj) to AA'ashington and decided to crush our baseball squad and came near doing just what they had decided to do— Johnson C. Smith beat us by a 15-5 score then Alorris Brown completely annihilated our team, xvinning- by a 25-10 score. "Bun" Hayes, ace of the Smith squad, and recognized as one of the greatest Negro college pitchers, was touched for 12 hits, while Hull and Dean issued 14 betxveen them, proving at least Howard's ability to hit. In thefifth innin g Jimmy Shields poled out a long homer which xxas matched by Tucker of Smith in the 8th inning. Hull passed four and Hayes gaxe the ticket to three ; Hayes fanned nine Hoxvard men in the game while Hull struck out two of the "Bulls."

AA'orst of all, was the fact that Lincoln, loxvl}- Lincoln, of all teams, came here to xvin for the first time in ages. It was on a beautiful after­ noon, April 19, 1928, that the "Lions," surely robbed of their roar during the history of the Class of 1929, actuall}- came to AA'ashington and xvon a game. Quite a feat for them, but miracles must necessarily hapijen now and then or there wouldn't be an}' miracles. So the}- won by a score of 12-11 and that's that . Harmon and Lamar xvere the battery for Lincoln, while Ray, Slade and Lomax held down the Bison end.

Idle Freshman scjuad ])la}-ed as xx-ell as might have been expected; in fact, they proved to be nearly as poxx-erful as the regular squad. They won 7 of 9 games played.

Those earning the A'arsity "LI" in baseball were; Captain AA'alker, Manager Taylor, Gaskins, Loma.x, Alance, Hull, Redbanks, Taxlor, Si^ann, Boxvles, Bogle, Gillam and Jones.

Herman Gaskins xvas voted as ca])tain-elect of the team, xxhile John Howard was voted as manager-elect of the s(]uad.

Page one hundred eighty-three TRACK

Coach "Knute" AA'atson's call for the track candidates xvas ansxvered by many of the capablefield, track, rela}-, cross country, and marathoners. "Kunte's" ironing out ])rocess deyelo])ed the athletes very rapidly and, de- s])ite the very short training season, the track men made a very formidable showing, especially in the s])rint division. Captain "Tony" Langston showed rare form all season beating our outstanding op])onents from all sections of the country.

AA'hile the relay team lost at Ohio State and at the Penn Carnival, nevertheless, they xvere alxvays xvay u]) "in the money."

AA'atson uncovered Glascoe Alack, of blaltimore, who became one of the outstanding s])rinters of the year, also croxvned King of the "tough bickers." In the Lincoln open meet Mack xvas leading the field in the 100 yard dash by several feet only to hit a hole and fall, xvith victf)ry xvithin a few feet of his gras]). ddie winner of the race xvas clocked at nine and seven-tenths seconds.

In the field events Joe Drew, "Bol)o" Aliller and Jess Petty brought in the major laurels. Petty copping vault honors in the Lincoln oi)en meet.

Page one hundred eighty-four SWIMMING The first A'arsity sxvimming team in the histor}- of the LTniversity was formed by Coach Pendleton during the '28 '29 season. During the 1927- 1928 season, so much was accomplished b}- intramural sxvimming under the direction of Air. Pendleton that upon recommendation of the Department of Physical Education, swimming xx-as made a A arsity sport, and sex-eral meets -were arranged. The first of these meets was against the Baltimore Y. AT. C. A. and was xxidel}- adxertised. Due to the inability of Jones, AA'ebb, and Morris, regulars, to be present at the meet due to sickness, Hoxvard lost the meet to Baltimore. The meet xxas x-ery interesting and xvas not decided until thefinal event, x\-hich xvas lost by Hoxvard. It was in this meet that both Joe Drexv and Azikixvie, East African swinnning and track star, outdistanced men to win their events handily. Smallx\-ood xvas Baltimore's best bet and scored several victories for them. After the first meet. Babe Sxx-ife, xvho had been acting as manager of the Bisons, was elected to the ])osition and Pete Tyson as cai)tain to lead the tankmen. Coach Pendleton ])ut the sxvimmers through many hard xvork- outs preliminar}- to the second meet against the Nei)tune Club also of Balti­ more, and as a result the team won x-ery easily. Alorris, Drexv, Harris and Aziwikie again won the ])reinier honors in this meet. This c]uartet easily won the relay within record time. Those x\-inning points for the l)is()n team for the season included Nofles, sprints; John Harris, 220 yards in the relay; Ben Brown, 100 yards; Drew, underx\-ater swim for speed, breast stroke and j^lunge for distance; Azikixvie, 50 yards back stroke, 100 yards free style, and relay; Alorris, underxvater swim for speed, 50 yards back stroke, 50 yards breast stroke, relay, and

50 yards free style; Nya Bongo, 50 yards back stroke; Harris, relay, and Tyson in diving. Other outstanding members of the team included "Buck" Smith, dixing; Jess Petty, dixing; Babe Swift, 100 yards free style, and others. There has been very great improvement in the class of the swimmers both as to style and as to class. Alany of the men, not only those connected with the swimming team, and a fexv of the female swimmers of the University have xvon their Red Cross emblems while under the tutelage of Coach Pen­ dleton. Joe Drexv xvas made the unanimous choice of the team to lead it for the next season. Jas. Alanigaulte was elected manager during the same meeting. A great season is predicted for next season w-hen these leaders will carry on the great s])irit that permeates the swimming grou]). Some of the results of the season include ; Baltimore A'. AI. C.
