WEEK ENDlNG/sSrffSfeAY, JTjfTE 30, 194g THE CAROLINIAK PAGE FlVg A-Z Behind The Play In Sports BT DON DK LEIGUBUB If* about time that something was said about Coach Edward P. Hurl down ai Alurgan State College in Baltimore. In the helter-skelter activity in volving sport.s reporting, we seldom find time to give credit and suffi cient space and detail to those who arc doing things and. in this con- > nection. Ed Hurt has been woeful ly neglected. Last December 13lh the New York Telegram published its tenth an nual nation-wide poll of college football coaches to select the "Coach of the Year." In all, thirty-eight coaches were mention and couch Edward P. Hurt of Morgan College, one of this group, was the only Ne gro considered. This, in itself, should elevate coacn Hurt to a higher status then he has. thus far, enjoyed in the national spotlight, and he deservc.s every bit of the honor that comes to him. Morgan College, for the pa.sl few years, has been perhaps the great est football machine in the history of Negro colleges, even greater than the teams Tuskegee used to have when Big Ben Stevenson was running an off-tackle spcctacolar game and when Wu Fong Ward and Hallic Harding were toting the pigskin for dear old Wilbcrforcc. It might be wise to mention here the activities of one. Jazz Byrd, who remains one of the immortals of Lincoln University at Oxford. Pa. But, for consistency and tak ing into consideration all of the factors that a modern football team has to take today to be successful. Coach Hurt and his products at ' Xlorgan stand out like a sore thumb. The Morgan State Bears joined the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association CIAA> in 1930. In its fifteen years of competitions in the CIAA. Morgan has won eleven championships in football, eight in track, and three in Ba.skctball. Morgan held football honors for the past five consrctifivc seasons and. not since 1943 in cntlcgiatc football competition, has Morgan’s goalline been crossed. This long winning streak of Mor gan's from 1932 until 1938 is still a gooil subject for bull sessions and hot stove league chatter by those who like performances to be con sistent. During the six year period, Mor gan played fifty-four consecutive games without defeat which estab lished a new national football re cord. These teams were coached by Edward Hxirt and his invaluable as sistant. Talmade L.

The Hurt-coached football player Is drilled thoroughly In the funda mentals and, when he has complet ed the course ,he is an all-around player, capable of taking a posi tion at any slot on the team and ' performing c.*edltably. That is why Morgan overwhelms its foes without question. That Is why Hurt rates nationally in a poll of coaches, such as taken by the New York World Telegram. It might be recalled that Hurt also was mentioned in the same poll two years ago. While Morgan is in the unfor tunate position, as arc all other Negro colleges, as being outside the pale of competition with other colleges because of the color line, the basis for cempetilion is some what similar, in that Hurt and Tal- madge have leaned strongly toward well-coached players from high schools and prep-schools who. upon coming to Morgan, bring with them In some cases at least one or two years' football, track, or basketball experience. With the Hurt system in operation, these lads arc easily pul into shape ana niught cohesion and unity, plus team play, that make the Morgan juggernaut such a formidable instrument of power on colored collegiate gridirons. Morgan has done those in inter racial sports and. in such events, the concrete basis for rating teams and athletes and f-'r determining in an accurate manner ‘he achieve ments of coaches can be determin ed. At the Penn Relays In 1944. El more ‘‘Pepper" Harris won the 440 meter hurdle champiimship: in the South Atlantic AAU Meet, he took the 440 yard and the 220 yard dashc.s. In the National Collegiate AA, he took the 440 yard dash and 220 yard low hurdles, and in the Annual National AAU champion- .ship at Randall Island. New York, he took the 400 meter dash and the 220 low hurdles, to become the only double winner in the meet and the only man in the fifty-six years of the history of the meet to win this combination of events. Morgan College's Mile Relay Team, coached by Hurt and Tal- iradge, have won their classic race on several occasions at the Univer- ily of Pennsylvania Relays. In 1940 Alvm Thomas placed .second in the high-jump, while Jon athan Campbell took fourth in tiie 400 meter hurdles. In basketball. Morgan layed two white collegiate teams. Long I.sland University in 1938, and Brooklyn College in 1944. The Baltimoreians lost to the Black Birds by a close call, and took the Brooklyn Rcd- rren easily. In 1930 George H. Spaulding won second place in the decathlon at the Penn Relays, and in 1943 Louis Harpin won the South Atlantic Coilcgiatc Cross-Country Cham pionship. The 1944 record a'so .shows that the Hurt-coached Morgan Track Team won second place in the South Atlantic AAU Track and Field Meet. When the bars of competition with Negroes is lowered by the big northern colleges, it is not too much to expect that Morgan will make a name for itself as it has already under the tutelage of Ed Hurt and "Marsc" Talmadgc Hill. A lamb grading and marketing pet^gram for Ashe, Alleghany, and Watauga counties has been planned, .says Hazel Mcncham, in charge of Extension marketing at State Col lege. FEELING AT HOME IN THE WATER By Carroll L. Bryant. Dirertor AVater Safety Service American Red Cros.s Although man is not naturally at home in the water, his handicaps of structure and habit are more than rffset by hi.s advantages.

Swimming animals, though they may have other ad vantages, are limited to far fewer patterns of swimming action than human beings. In entering the water, the be ginner should take plenty of time to allow for mental and physical adjustments. It is absolutely essen tial to his sclf-confidonce that he should have a safe place in which to learn, and someone trained in life saving to give help if anything goes wrong. The nonswimmer should wade I'n up to the knees and then to mid thigh dept. At this point he may .«plash about, scoop up the water with his hands, dash it over the body and gradually get wet all Over. It is a good plan for him then to sit on the bottom of the pool, with the w.oicr at chin level. In this way he will become accustom ed to the pressure of the water on his chest, will find that within a few minutes the breathing settles b.ack to normal and the tense mus cles begin to relax. As the beginner acquires pre- swimming skills he is learning to maintain his balance and to relax so that the water will bear him up. When he has learned to work with it instead of fighting it. he has made a good start toward feeling at h me in the water. Then and only then can he make progress with swimming.
