ing Day and downed Banaa Stat
ID to o, with touchdowns in the first
and third periods, to maintain the
upper hand on homecoming daS
over the State Hornets.
A light rain fell before the game
started and then cold wind whipped
the field and chilled more than 6,Oot
enthusiastic spectators who saw Tus
kegee dominate the ball game unit
late in the final period when the
home team launched an effectiv
surge through the Tiger line.
Tuskegee and State entered tn
game on even terms and supporter
of either side were hopeful of WI
by single point. The two toac1dew
margin, therefore, elated the Tiger
and shocked the Hornets. Tuskegee'
first touchdown threat was engineer
ed by magnificent pass that Erastu
Sans threw to Mighty Man Ellerbe
left end, for SO yards and the bal
was on States nine. When State BET
back the enemy at this point thel
was evidence of States power
But Tuskegee had another passir
continuation to s.; ans AZ
this time 3o-yard gain put the b
on the six and Redmond spe
around his left end for the seol
Sans kicked goal to make 1t z 70
and the ball game was on.
There was no finer all-round plal
er on the field than Delbert Robert
left end for State, whose tackili /
and rushing and handling Of intel
ference was superb, but the spe
and deception Of Sans, fire runi'e e5
s0-minute player who can tack
pass and throw passes and gain m
of the ground Of the day, won IS
him tho distinction Of being the ou'
standing performer on the tieia
These teams were even = gre
many things, but Tuskegee had Sc
better passing and because ne llE
line did better job and stat
passes were ineffective because fa
Hornet passer was not protected. J
Tiger line ganeed the rasers y
punters all afternoon.
Two kicks were partially BLOCK
and this helped Tuskegee keep a.
Hornets well backed up, but alertnes
was another difference in the team
and Tuskegee took advantage q
lapse in States defense in the thi
period. It was third down and z
yards to 60 for a touchdown or G
to 90 for first down. Tuslegee wei
after the six points and Ellerbee NJ
over the goal and waiting for Fra
ziers fine heave. Sans licked T..
point.
This was shortly after the thir
period started and the two touch
down development fred State as til
Hornets finally began to work thoi
offense, which had clicked Just befef
the half ended Still they had no
been able to penetrate Tuskege te
ritory and some bad breaks kept 60
ing against the home team.
After Tuskegee's score ii the thils
period, the Tigers were penalized 1
their one-foot line and kicked GU
The kick out was fumbled by tn
State safety man and Tuskegee re
covered on the 40. This changed t
complexion Of things altogether an
popped up the Tigers while the spiri
Of the Hornets began to wane.
Pass inte.ceptions and poor kick
at crucial times robbed the Hornet
Of several chances to get going, bu
Tuskegee's hard tackling added t
the woes Of the Hornets. 1t was
clean game all the way with Ellerbe
of Tuskegee and Roberts Of Stat
giving superb performance at ends
while Sans and Redmond were th
T. backfeld ssars for Tuskegee
while the backfeld work Of Williams
Means and George Mills was credit
able. Horace Bouchelion also dit
some nice work.
The crowd was treated to color-
full and spectacular show at the hal.
with the rival bands and drum ma
jors strutting in high Tuskegee'i
great band took the field first ane
was led by FIVE graceful girls, State''
band followed with fine show, fea-
turing fancy stopper and juvenile
performer who were excellent. The

ergetic cheer leaders was classical lr

this department on the sidelines.
