Country Morris, former Tech and Maryland Star,
Got Greatest Thrill in Playing and Coaching
Career Out of Run Against Hopkins.

terback called for a kick formation, with
Morris back. Johns Hopkins opened its
defense and got ready to block the kick
But it wasn't blocked.
Runs 10 Yards to Score.
morris took the ball and started
around his left end. He slipped past
for the side lines. When it was all
over he had travelled 10 yards and was
over the line for one of the most stun
ming crashes a Johns Hopkins team
ever suffered in Maryland game.
Later on in the game Morris scored
another touchdown on q 4-yard buck
after his teammates had rushed the ball
through stubbornly strong Hopkins
team. That was all Maryland and at
that they missed one of the goals, the
final score being Is to 0.
Coach Morris has been coaching
Albany Academy teams since 1924 and
has turned out some of the best teams
in the history of the school. The Cadets
don't go in for championships, so the
fact that they haven't any to sport
doesn't mean thing. If there is no
title to win you can't very well win it.
But his teams have been marked by
their hard playing. clean playing and
craftsmanship. And that is one of the
finest tributes you can pay to any
COACH
Morris was too modest to mention
the great defensive work he did that
day and how, when Hopkins got near
the goal and was striving to use it's pet
scoring play, he threw the ball carrier
for losses of from to yards on three
successive plays.
In a letter to q friend, incloSing the
clipping from the Albany Times Union
(Which had been requeSted), Morris
wrote:
at am not sure If the run in the
Hopkins game was so or 10 yards, but
it might just as well have been 200 as
far as Hopkins was concerned. You
know the first 10 yards are the hardest
and I got plenty of help. don't be-
lieve Hopkins man touched me during
the run.
Mike Stevens gave me a great thrill
in the 1925 Hopkins game, which Mary
land won, II to II, after trailing, IA to 0,
at the end of the first half. I always
considered Mike a great athlete, but !
don't believe great described his per-
Torrance on that day. He was. just
about perfect to my way of thinking
II had quite visit with Biff Jones
former WaShingtonian, who played for
Central while Morris was at Tech and
who later starred at West Point and
coached the Army team while he was
here recently. He looked natural, talked
natural and acted natural. Being coach
of Army for four years didn't get the
better Of him."

Needs Golf Breaks, Gets Them,
So Rolston Conquers Cramond

TOR many months G. E. Ralston of
- Bannockburn has been predict

friend e. D. Cramond, also of
Bannockburn, a trouncing on the golf
course, and for many months he has
been pursuing this will-o'-the-wisp.
hoping he might catch Cramond bit
of while he was on his game and ac-
complish the wished-for result. 1t came
two days ago at Bannockburn, but how
it came and why it came makes yarn
that banishes all other tales of golflng
luck far into the limbo of forgotten
things.
To beat his friend, Ralston had no
fewer than four lucky breaks, all of
them almost miraculous. He admits it
himself, but he really thinks, according
to Tony Sylvester, the rotund and
genial Bannockburn pro, that these
breaks should come to him and that
they are all any man should expect.
Here is the way the match was won:
Cramond and Ralston were playing in
syndicate game with G. B. Des Jar
dins and Frank j. Pickett. On the
fourth hole Cramond was on the green
In the regulation two shots. while Raj
ston was in the rough at the right side
of the green in three. He took putter
and holed out from the rough for par
and Cramond took three puts. That
was miracle No. l.
At the thirteenth Cramond put his
ball on the green from the tee-the
hole is a mashie shot of about $50 yards
down a hill--and Ralston then stepped

hole. Ralston did not hole the put fol

Cramond. Miracle No. Q.
on the fifteenth, which is also &

for 2. The ball stopped only an inch
from the cup, and he got half with
Cramond, who got his par 3.
BY this time Cramond and the other
members of the match were wonder
ing what would happen next. They
thought this series of miracles must have
an end somewhere. But 1t was not to
come yet. At the seventeenth tee Raj
ston stood up on Cramond, and when
he topped his tea shot 1t seemed that
Cramond, who had already put his ball
on the green from the tee, was to have
chance to square the match. But
again that perverse fate which governs
golf balls stepped in and gave Ralston
a friendly pat on the back. His topped
pail bounced around among the rocks
in the ditch and finally landed on the
putting green, where he got the halt

The upshot of the game was that

THIS time two years from now
Business High, or Roosevelt
High, as it will then be known,
will be in its fine new building
at Thirteenth and Upshur streets.
A feature of the plant will be a
stadium and gym sufficiently large and
modern to take care of the needs of the
Roosevelt athletes. There will be ample
provision for base ball and foot ball
activities and tennis courts. There also
will be q rife range.
Thus, Business long suffering through
lack of adequate facilities for its ath-
leteS, will at last have room for eXpan-
sion. 1t will be interesting to note just
what the Stenog teams then will do.
With the new Roosevelt High open,
all the public high schools here will
have adequate facilities for sports activ-
tiles. Westerns new plant is expected
to be available about a year from now
and Techs facilities are expected to be
in full use in the not distant future.
Central and EaSterns athletic accom-
modationS are, of course, adequate, at
least for the time being.
Except for three games the Business
High 1880 base ball schedule has been
completed by Manager Sammy Cohen.
Fifteen contests have been listed, in

best all-around performer ever to wear
the Old Line colors. He also undoubt-
edly was Techs greatest sport product.
Continuing about Morris, Mahar said:
BILL has had thrills galore. AS q
foot ball player, a base ball player and
a runner, and as a foot ball, base ball
and track coach, and, whisper this, as
a foot ball scout (for Maryland) he has
seen his labors crowned with the laurel
wreath of victory. But his big moment
came in the Fall of 1912, when, as a
University Of Maryland halfback, he
ran 10 yards through the Johns Hop
kins team for his first intercollegiate
touchdown in his first intercollegiate
game and on the second play OF the
game.

From there Bill went to the Univer-

ME slxtn round OF the tournament

championship produced some
very good chess. Byler was
matched against Carl Hesse and played
in his usual aggressive manner, win
ming the game, thereby retaining his
lead in the race. He opened with P to
O., which was defended irregularly. The
game proceeded evenly for % moves,
when Hesse captured a pawn, which
three moves later cost him a pawn.
Thereafter pawns and pieces were ex-
changed and by Skillful manipulation
Byler made his extra pawn count. IN
able to stop pawn from queening,
Hesse resigned on his flfty-seventh turn.
In his game with Bishop in this round
Walker also opened with p to GA, which
Bishop responded to irregularly, the
game later developing into a queens
gambit declined opening of the Pills
bury type. On his seventeenth move
Bishop made a hurried move, appar-
emily thinking he could trap Walkers
queen. It cost him a pawn and was
largely responsible for his undoing. On
his forty-fifth turn Walker annexed an
other pawn, and on his fifty-eighth turn
he won another. Bishop played hard
for a draw and offered his rock for
nothing, to take which would have
given him a stalemate and draw, and
to refuse cost Walker q valuable pawn.
He was still two pawns to the good, and
so advanced his pawnSr to the seventh
rank that it would cost Bishop his rock
To stop them, whereupon he resigned,
after So moves had been made.
These losses by Carl Hesse and Bishop
eliminated them from all chances for
