A $40 VICTORY
Preston News Servicel

foemen met in a newly dedicated
Howard Stadium Turkey Day after
noon in their END annual Thanksgiv-
ing day football classic and for the
first time since 1920 Howard emerged
victorious over Lincoln. 1t was a
sweet revenge for the boys of the
Capitol City, who defeated their OPP
ponents in a spectacular but one-sided
game, $40.
The Howard Alumni, young and
old celebrated their teams victory
Thursday. No such enthusiasm has
been manifested by the rooters or the
Blue and White since Eddie Gray,
now practicing physician in Gin
cinnati, and his eleven some years ago
tanned the lions from Chester County,
Pa.
In 1920 Howard defeated Lincoln
AZ to 0. In the FIVE following con-
tests the Orange and Blue won three
games and two were tied, last year the
game ending in Philadelphia without
either side scoring.
By defeating Lincoln Thursday,
Howard hung up a record for the sea-
son of no games lost. Not for many
years has it had such a well-rounded
eleven. Lincoln, on the other hand,
has sustained more defeats than VIC
tories. The home players excelled in
every department of the game save
that of forward passing. In the last
quarter, with defeat staring them i'll
the face, Lincoln adopted the style
of play to make touchdown.
Toward the close of the game the
most spectacular run was made by
Simpson, of Howard, who, after fail
ing to complete two forward passes.
caught the ball on the third attempt
and ran 40 yards for a touchdown.
Towards superiority over Lincoln
was without question. The former
made fifteen first downs to the latter's
FIVE. In the first half, Howard made
twelve first downs to Lincoln's none.
It was not until the second half that
the visitors chalked up a first down
and then on a fifteen yards penalty
for clipping. SO effectively did
Towards ends smother all attempts of
Lincoln to gain ground by skirting
them that Hibbler and Martin were
unable to make long runs as in pre-
vious games this season. Usually they
were stopped in their tracks.
Tack" Smith and Coles starred for
Howard. Aside from Simpsons touch

did all the scoring Largely through
the fine work Of these two players
Howard scored its other three touch
downs. The Blue and White, after
tumble by Lincoln on its 20-yard line,
made its first touchdown shortly after
the game started, due to Smith skirt
ing Lincoln's right and, and when

touchdown in the second quarter, due
to Coles fine work, who kicked goal.
The third touchdown was registered by
