CLARK, Editor THEATkIGALS SPORTS Annual Thanksgiving Football Classic Together rolorful Cron Together rColorful Crowd Brings That Sees Howard Swamp Lincoln Lions, 32 0 The Nation's University Dedicates Athletic Stadium, Said To Hare Cost $197,000 the Howard "Bisons" Just Butted the LincoIa Tions" To Death In Their Glee By Ludlovr Werner i Washington, D. Before one of the largest crowd that 1ias ever at tended the annual Thanksgiving football classic of the two big Negro col leges in the Eastern United States, the Howard "Bisons" swamped their an fcient rivals, the Lincoln "Lions," by a (core of 320. The new Howard University Stadium was crowded to capacity by a colorful crowd.

After five unsuccessful years trying to bring victory to Washington Coach Watson's machine decisively showed their superiority over the Lin coln team and just fell short of repeating theirbrilliant victory of 1920, when Howard scored a 42 0 victory over Lincoln. Of the twenty two games which have now been, played, (Lincoln has won Howard six, and six have been tied. While there were no spectacular individual plays, Coles, Smith and Dan Brown for HowarJ. and Hibbler, Temple and Grasty for Lincoln, were the stars of the game. Howard made eighteen first downs to Lincoln's six.

flhe "Bisons" completed three out of ten attempted forward passes while Jjncom made Five out of eighteen. Some Individual Start In scoring Howard's points, C. Smith contributed two touchdowns. Coles fwo and Simpson, left end, added a fifth hy spearing i forward pYs of 26 yards and racing 2j yards more for the touchdown. Simpson's play was the nly sensation of the game with the exception of Coles' reversing his nemin tne Mrst quarter, loles was successiul only twice for extra points fter touchdowns in five tries, v' It was Howard's holiday.

Coach Watson's machine which had gone through the entire season without a defeat, took Lincoln into camp by steady Incessant hammering. They scored in every period. As was expected the Howard huddle was functioning and was responsible for the Howard pen synes. THB LINEUPS i Howard Position Sallie E. Smith (Captain T.

The battle was savage and.

clean, fought with unremitting fierceness, any show of rancor. Both teams showed magnificent spirit and the ablest form of coaching, as they swayed bark and forth bet wen the two 20 yard lines. The teams were So evenly balanced and the defensive strength of them so prfnotinced yardage could be bought only at a heavy price and extreme effort; Hampton, however, had a little edge on the Red aud Steel Eleven by virtue fti the fact that'i the backtirid jabbed tor frequent first' downs rtiim lifring 13 to 3. The game was played try Hampton without a single substitution while Union made 12 changes. The Red and Steel backheld was swift as lightning, but Hampton's forward wall seemed, to sift through and break tip ylays at will.

There were two dangerous fumbles made by Byrd of Hampton la receiving Breaux's punts that put Hamptoa in a dangerous position. Each time Breaux failed to kirk for a field goal. JIAMPTOS SCORE IX THE 2nd The first score of the battle came in (he second quarter when Hampton was lie Id for downs i the 2. yard line and Union was forced to kick after receiving the ball.

Union got possession of the ball and was forced to kick. They kicked short enough to allow Baker to drop kick from the 40 yard line. Thatcher, playing his last game of fotball for the Blue and White, covered himself with glory a he hit the line for first downs.

The Unionites covered Bulldog Williams up so that he could not get loose, but Thatcher could make gains almost at will. Baker's kicking was tjKanny at all times throughout the fray. WILD MAX" LEE SCORES TOUC Leaving his place on the line and moving into the backfield. "Wild Man" Lee drove through the line from fullback's position for a clean cut 10 yards and a touchdown in the third quarter. It was a spectacle worth seeing, as his huge, bulky form sped through the Hne of scrimmage.

great yell and howl came from the Seaside grandstand and then it died down enough to allow Baker to toe the extra point through tlie bars. The Union Pawing Panthers, however, were not without stars, for Breaux and Shields in the backfield were constant menaces. Breaux's punting was good, and Shields wa, always a good ground gainer. Capt. Tobin and on the line were bulwarks of strength.

McVey, who was opposed by Bobby Barrett of Philadelphia in the feature bout of the Walker A. classed his opponent and won a technical xnoexout victory in the seventh round, when the referee stopped the fight after Barrett had been srnt to the canvas with a left, hook to the body. McVey kept up a continual tatoo on his white opponent's middle section which so weakened the Philaddphian, he was an easy prey for the knockout pundw 63 Yard Pass Wins For Morehouse Orcr Fkk 1 1 By 'Clyde Reynolds fl Atlants, Ga.

The pigskin bval as it sailed between the uprights for the point after touchdown wrote defeat for Fisk across a Turkey Day sky here this morn ing. The educated toe of Howard Archer turned the trick. The lone Morehouse tally came in the second quarter when Archer chunked 63 yards to Derpn, who raced the remaining 22 yards across the goal line for a touchdown. It was here that Archer's toe defeatd Fisk. The pas, line of the longest ever completed in the conference traveled 46 yards from the tine of scrimmage, the tosser standing '17 yards behind when it was uncoiled.

Fisk was not to be discouraged, however, and Brewer recovered a fumble by Robinson, Morehouse fullback on the K) yard line of the latter. A 20 yard psiss, Wood to Matthews was completed. Ghee then received an 11 yard pasj iroin Woods and pedalled off the remaining 9 Yards for a touchdown. Ghee misted the extra from placement. Morehouse made 11 first downs to Fisk's 8.

completing 3 of 8 passes for 113 jards, while Fisk made 5 to 19 passes for 93 yards, Moseley having intercepted ope. For Fisk, the ground gaining of Yost, and Woods was a feature, while the splendid running and accurate passing of Ghee drew, rerpated cheers from the stands. Ariier and Drzou, ends playing their last gam: under the Maroon and White (yes, they're Seniors) were clearly the highlights in the Morehouse game. Archer's toe, and his dcxterious passing were death dealing to Fi' while the pass grabbii.R of Dezon. and his repeated break llirCii.li the Fisk interference, kept in the limelight as one of the best ends ttat ever donned cleats, i Tlie Fiskites tried his end only once in the entire hour of play, and were thrown for a heavy, loss.

Captain Cooke at guard was injure! in the first half and did not return to thd. lineup. Lattimore at tackle was a thorn in the Fisk offeme, frequently engaging tlieir hall toters behind the line. The offensive playing of Blackburn, and Saunders deserves mention. .5 The lineup: Morehouse Fisk Decon F.
