Page Two THE UNIVERSITY STUDENT October, 1930 \ Smith Battles G.I.A.A. Champs to 6-6 Deadlock Mitchell, Henry, Williams, and Bess Play StellarRoles as the Smith Bulls Tie the StrcTng Virginia State Eleven Petersburg, Va., Oct. 4—The day was glorious and the crowd was colorful. Everything was conducive to an ideal game of football. The visitors from North Caro lina went into the game the “underdog.” Most of the leading critics from the Negro weeklies doped State to win. But Byarm’s charges went into the game with all North Carolina supporting them and were de termined to win. Smith kicked off to State. The kick grounded on State’s 30-yard line. Williams ran it back 10 yards. State kicked on first down. It seemed as if the fans were in for a kicking game for Smith returned the ball to State’s 35-yard line by the punt route. The champions of the C. I. A. A. immediately tried an off-tackle play and gained four yards. On the very next play Crop, Virginia State quarter, ran a beauti ful excursion around the Bull’s left end and raced 65 yards for State’s lone touch down. The kick for the extra point failed. The Bulls played a r^ged game in the first half, the ball beinjBn their territory most of the time. In the third quarter, Henry, playing his first game of the sea son, blocked a State punt which was re covered by Mitchell, a Smith end, on the locals’ 13-yard line. The Bull backfield functioned perfectly and marched steadily on to State’s two-yard line. “Red” Wil liams ripped off-tackle for the tally which tied the score. Williams’ kick for the extra fooint failed.-\ Williams heavt«|u||^5-yard fpass to Ellis, right end, seemed destined for another touchd^js for the visitors. The Bulls played midseason foot ball during the entire second half, and more than once they were in scoring dis tance. State lost 50 yards through penal ties to 70 for the visitors. First downs for the visitors totaled eleven to eight for the locals. Both teams hurled numerous passes; State attempting 10 passes saw three inter cepted, five fail and two net a gain of 28 yards. Smith heaved 9 passes, completed four for a gain of 47 yards, saw three fail and two intercepted. “Red” Williams, Martin and Mebane were outstanding in the Smith backfield, while Bogle, Mitchell, Henry, Ellis and Bess played well on the line. For State, Dabney, Williams, Crop and Johnson led the attack in the backfield, while Barabin, Oliver and Scott were stone walls in the State line. B k ■ Aft -> .. ■ ■ I'rl. COACH BYARM Howard Meets Smith Today Smith Starts Football Year Smith University, Oct. 11—The Howard Bisons will invade the Bull Pen Saturday. This game promises to be one of the best to be played here this season. A record- breaking crowd is expected as Howard is repM||Mbd in these parts by marry of old gmds. The Bulls have just returned from Petersburg, where they battled the C. I. A. A. champs to a 6-6 tie. Howard has by no means a weak team as many expect. Coach Verdell has been carrying his men through a strenuous work-out since early September. The Bulls are expecting a real fighting Bison of days of old. The Smith squad will no doubt enter the game as a favorite, having won from the Howard team last year by a score 19-0. In any event you will see a mighty Smith playing their first home game of the sea son. Smith is out for the championship of the C. I. A. A. The team has the highest prospects it has had for some years. By Blab From all indications, it seems that the Golden Bulls will have the most successful football team in history for the 1930 sea- sonjk The team has shown exceptional pnUpse jpi^he twp games, it has plaj^d. olmi Smith on the Gridiron The Line-up Smith XJniv.

Smith University is confronted with the hardest schedule of its history. It has been suc cessful already in two combats of the schedule. What it will do for the remainder is left to be seen. With the new coach, Mr. Byarm, the team is not expected to play with the same style as that of last year, but with as much, or even greater, power. However, it is hoped that the players will do their best, as we believe they will. The team was very highly commended for its clean, excellent football. We hope that it will receive even more praise. The team can only do its best if the alumni and student body are behind it. To make the season a real success we ask the student body to attend all games that it possibly can, and we ask each student to invite his friends. The members of the alumni, of course, are expected to attend whenever they are in position to do so. Let us all get together and make this year the big gest “football year” Johnson C. Smith has ever had. WHERE THEY PLAY THIS WEEK Howard at Smith. A. & T. at Morgan. Virginia State at Bluefield. Union vs. Lincoln at Norfolk. Hampton at St. Paul. TODAY’S DOPE Smith will win from Howard. A. & T. will tie Morgan. Bluefield will beat Virginia State. Union will tie Lincoln. Hampton will beat St. Paul. C. I. A. A. Football Schedule, 1930 SEPTEMBER 27 Bluefield vs. A. & T. at Bluefield. N. C. State vs. Smith at Durham. OCTOBER 4 Virginia State vs. Smith at Petersburg. Morgan vs. St. Paul at Baltimore. N. C. State vs. Lincoln at Durham. Union vs. Va. Seminary at Richmond. OCTOBER 11 Morgan vs. A. & T. at Baltimore. Union vs. Lincoln at Norfolk. Smith vs. Howard at Charlotte. St. Paul vs. Hampton at Lawrenceville. Va. State vs. Bluefield at Bluefield. Shaw vs. Kittrell at Raleigh. The 'first game was with North Carolina State College and was played on N. C. State’s home field in Durham, N. C. Al though it was played at night and the Bulls had not a single practice on a flood lighted field, they won by the score of 13-6. The second game was played with Vir ginia State, again on the opponents’ home field, this time at Petersburg, Va. The score was tied 6-6, but the Bulls won a moral victory even though they could not score the winning point. For the greater part of the game the ball was played in State’s territory, and when this fact is added to the unquestioned handicaps of a strange field, everyone agrees that Smith made a very good showing. Smith has been fortunate in the way of injuries, with just one or two minor ones. Gilliard and Mebane, both backs, have bad legs, but they are rapidly improving. Cole man has a bad knee, but it is almost well at this writing. Mitchell, an end, sus tained an injured finger in the last game, but it will soon be as well as ever. Ex cepting these, the team is in fine physical condition. Although the schedule is the hardest in the history of the school, by the showing the team has made, we (the students) hope that the end of the season will see the team wearing the coveted gold footballs which signify the championship of the C.
