Page Two THE UNIVERSITY STUDENT November, 1928. SPORTS AND FRATERNITIES BULLS TO CLOSE SUCCESSFUL SEASON TODAY Back row: Foulkes, Hall, Williams, Walker, Martin Front row; House, Henry, Blue, Jones, Bogle, Steele; Harris THAT STATE CAME A great team represented Smith Univer sity down in Orangeburg on November 17. Our eleven showed classy defensive and often fought against great odds which have proved fatal to other teams of greater cal iber. Fighting every inch of the way and tear ing asunder the sharp-shooting raaneuvres of an eleven which is noted for its aerial attack. Smith lost a game that was in the ulfaost candor, a “tough break.” It was in the last few minutes of play that one of the State backs in a desperate attempt, resorted to a forward pass on the fourth down. On a throw which was anybody’s a State player snapped the oval which proved our undoing. The final score was 6-0, but this figure does not give the readers the least inkling of a game that was truly great. It is not customary to paint beautiful pictures of losers, nevertheless the spectators share the opinion that the Smith boys went down after one of the best exhibitions of foot ball ever seen in Southern circles.

SMITH WALLOPS PAINE With the veteran Jack Martin and Bus Hall bucking through Paine’s line at will the Smith Bulls tromped over a startled Paine team to the score of 37-18. ^ r Unleashing a most daring air attack and running offense, the Smith Bulls piled up seven touchdowns and five points after touchdowns, sending the North Carolina State Normals down in bitter defeat. The offense, such as has never before been seen on the campus of Smith, accounted for 13 passes out of eight attempts. It was a run off tackle, a plunge through the line, a forward pass and then a touchdown, every time the bulls gained possession of the ball. The fierce charging of the Smith line opened hole after hole in the forward wall of the State Normal team. The backs run ning with the grim determination to gain yardage, seemed unstoppable. Biggs, a newcomer in the Smith back- field, gladdened the heart of Coach Taylor by his playing. This man a triple threat, passed and ran with the ball when he was called upon to do these. With Biggs and Red Williams the Smith team is well off in the punting department, for both these men can average forty yards on punts and are triple threats. Jack Martin, Pony Foulkes and Bus Hall were the big noises in the backfield. These backs reeled off yard after yard and were soon relieved by the second string backs. Bogle, the big All-American guard, did not see much service in the game, as he was on the injured lirt. Ed Jones, center, and Baker, end, were the best on the Smith line. Line-Upss Smith State Normal Baker L- E. Sparks Steele L. T. Sykes Bogle E. G. Elliott Unleashing an offensive heretofore un known the Smith Bulls seem to be rolling on a flood tide. Bogle, that mighty Smith guard, who was mentioned by the experts after the Howard-Smith game to be of All- American caliber, added to his glory by more than once smearing more of Paine’s plays than any one else. That Swift Cunningham of the once re nowned Wiggins to Cunningham combina tion that was the talk of the South some seasons ago, showed up well for Paine and was the primary factor in all of Paine’s tallies; but more than once he failed to pull down would-be passes because of an alert Bull defense. It was in the first few minutes of the game tha t yhtupecmfwyp minutes of the game that they pushed across the first touchdown and in the last minutes that they got across the other- two. Jones, the wonder center, made the long est run for Smith. Hall, a fleet halfback, bucked Paine’s line with ease and accounted for four of Sinith’s tallies alone. Martin played his old heads-up game. Dickson, Bowman and Perry showed up well for Paine. Line-Ups Smith Baker Steele (Capt). Bogle Jones- -- House - - Somersett.. - Ellis - Martin - Foulkes Williams - - L. E. R. L. T. R. L. G.

Pope is now engaged in Y work and has been assigned the Southwest territory beyond the Mississippi. He is well prepared for such work, having been a brilliant student and since leaving school Ifas done graduate work in Northern f^olleges. When here as a student he was a leader in all college activities, being a fine athlete especially, and a worker in the local Y. M. C. Association. Being a flu ent speaker, he will rattle off easily such terms as “world challenge,” “big job,” and such others as the Y. M. C. A. men like to Ferguson -Ferguson Williams Perry —Abney -Hall - --Weems Cunningham - Banks H. Bowman Washington CAPT. STEELE finding are published in a bulletin and ready reference manual bearing on Negro education in this State. Any one desiring the facts may send to the Bureau for a copy. One may learn a lot watching a foot ball game. We observe that a weak team al ways plays on the defensive. They are usually more concerned about protecting their own goal than they are about carrying the ball over the opponents’. So it is in the great game of life. A man with a weak character can never become aggressive in any good ^se. He is generally too much concerned about his own safety to venture too far. He realizes his limitation and plays safe while a good cause may suffer. While there was not so much home-com ing, our Home-coming game was a flattering success. It proved that we can put on a real worthwhile exhibition of the gridiron variety. A fine spirit towards the game was created and when the next similar event comes off we will have a large pat ronage. At the same time the old grads shall have learned what it is all about and will be here pulling for the home boys. It was a briliant contest, indeed, but a hard one to lose nevertheless. We had the Georgians practically trimmed until the last three minutes of play when a More house man reached up and brought down a pass and trotted on across sthe goal. If some of our graduates upon whom good fortune has smiled would offer an award of a few dollars and a more appropriate college song he would do his Alma Mater a con structive service. Our present one does fine at a foot ball contest when we wish times, such as commencement occasions, to put the “rousement” on, but there come times, such as commencement occasions, when it does not seem to fit in so well. We ought to have one with sufficient solemnity to pull an old grad of sixty-odd years to his feet in humble reverence. If you are at Livingstone on Thanksgiving you will see a game about which you can tell your grandchildren in years to come. Speaking of foot ball we certainly thought our Uncle Billie would have been on hand to lend dignity to the occasion; for it was he who played fullback for us in that memorable game in the snow with Livingstone back in Dr. Price’s time. In those days the fullbacks carried razors and there was more than one w-ay to stop a fast back. During the first part of this month Mrs. Johnson C. Smith returned to her home in Pittsburgh. She had been residing on our campus for quite a while; and we felt be fore she left that we would miss her; now we know it. Somehow things were differ ent when she was here; her presence per meated the campus with a true Christian spirit. Rev. Warren Jones, who received his master’s degree from Western Seminary last June, is booked to go as a missionary to Africa, and, by the way, he is not going alone, either. Mr. Jones, although young, has had quite a bit of experience in pioneer- work and is admirably fitted for the mis sion field. We wish him good luck in this new' adventure.
