ii I I PAtfS SIXTEEN 'T The Piittbargh Courier SATURDAY; November 20, 191 i To EDiriio I 11 11 1. 1 I BATON ROUGE, Nov. IS Took to tho air this week on the ninth leg of our perennial quest for Courier All Americans, arriving in this city of perpetual sunshine today to watch the gallant gridiron sons of Southern U. battle the stout hearted Steers of Texas College. It was a thrilling trip flying down into the heart of Dixie.

Pushed for time, we postponed our evening meal And hopped out of. Pittsburgh's airport at 6:35. In 55 minutes we had streaked over the hazardous Alleghenies and Into "Washington, about 200 miles away. A 25 minute lay over, and then we zoomed through the smoother Southern skies, with cities like Charlotte, N. and Spartansburg, S.

fading away behind us like, luminous, bulb studded gardens, and then suddenly disappearing into the darkness and the muffled droning of the night. At 11:55 we were ordering our dinner in Atlanta, and "everything was peaches down in Georgia" Down in this palm strewn country where stalwart young Sugar Cane is King and Fluffy Cotton is Queen, Southern U. took to the airways in a bold attempt to stop the un stemmed stampede of Texas College's sturdy Steers. But the aerial bombardment of Louisiana's battling Jaguar data ended disastrously when one of their passes was intercepted by a galloping Texan Streakin' Sam Howard who thundered down the sidelines on a 67 yard dash for the only touchdown of the game. Then Turner passed to Taylor from a fake place kick formation for the extra point to make it 7 0, and the scoring for the day was over.

Southern cutrushed the Steers, making 12 "firsts" to the Texans' five, and excelled in the ethereal game, completing six out of 13 passes to their rivals' two out of 13, but the Cats muffed a half dozen scoring chances due, to faulty generalship, which cost them the ball game. Victory Keeps Texas In Undefeated Bracket The triumph of the Lone Star Staters keeps the Steers In the unbeaten bracket, along with the thundering Thoro breds of Kentucky State, the mighty Trojans of Virginia State and the bruising Bears of Morgan College. And now that we've seen three of football's foremost foursome, we'll watch the other team the Trojans in oP Virglnny Saturday against Morris Brown before giving our opinion on Who Who" and "Who Ain't Who" among the Big Four. Mamford Has Done Fine Job At Southern i Beautiful Southern University, under the progressive presidency of Dr. J.

S. Clark and the capable coaching of A. W. "Chick" Mumford, a former 'Force star; Purnell, Hines and Fisher, assistants Brockenbury, an atyrt athletic manager, and Bill Gray, a wide awake press agent, has rap Idly moved into a commanding place in the Southern collegiate firmament. An interview with Mumford, who coached Texas College from '31 to '36, brought the unusual revelation of how strongly the whites in Tyler, Texas, back the Steers in their bid for national grid recognition.

In '34, sez Mumford. the president of the Chamber of Commerce personally offered Kentucky State College a guarantee of $6,000 for a postseason flame, but the Thorobreds refused. The same year an effort to get; Morgan to come to Texas, at a liberal offer by the councilnien, failed. Incidentally, Mumford says Southern is in a receptive mood for a "post" game with the highly touted Xavier team Chocolate Bowl classic. Mills Hero As Alabama Beats Clark Thursday we saw George "Red" Mills, one of the Capital Ofty's own sons, play the role of a heroic "inuddrr" as he splashed his way through Clark's line in the dying nio meats of a rain drenched game to win a 8 6 victory for Bama's Hornet horde.

At Alabama State Teachers, E. Council Trenholm is another aggressive and capable president who realizes how much athletic prestige means to a With Lewis, Hardy, Lockhard and Easterly holding the coaching reins, the Hornets are on the wing again. They'll be gunning for Tuskegee Tiger meat on Turkey Day. Brice Taylor Recalls His Career At U.S. C.

Among the many interesting sport celebs we met again In Dixie was Brice Taylor, now coach of Sam Huston Col lege in Texas. Taylor recalled his days at the U. of South ern Cal when Coach Howard Jones took charge. Brice had been a star, but Jones told him that he had to be "twice as good" to make his team because he was colored. He put Brice on the seventh team.

But his teammates were for him and Taylor was determined to make good. And the pressure Jones put upon him helped to make him. says Brice. The result was that Brice made the A. P.

All America first team: Since '27 no sepia player has made the U. S. C. team. Coach Jones told Brice recently that our boys "can't take We know they can, for they've won berths at Cornell, Minnesota, Iowa, Northwestern, U.

C. L. Boston. West era Reserve and other major college team on MERIT ALONE! We wonder who will answer Jones' challenge if hremains nt U. S.

While in New Orleans we went out to Xayior over on Napoleon avenue where many teams have mefi their Waterloo this season to talk to Coach Ted Wright of the glisten ing Gold Rush and Ralph Metcalfe of. Olympic fame, who hopes to putthe Catholic school on the map1 in the track world. But there'll bfc more about Wright and Metcalfe in a future column. At Dillard Saturday we watched Coach Crudop's Dil eleven beat Louisiana Rural Normal from Grambling, an ali colored town, and met Ozias Johnson, the postmaster coach who is teaching the Normal lads how to "carry the With a word of gratitude to Doc J. Felton Brown and Dr.
