net in the Atlantas class. yet
they fought back so stubbornly,
they deserved the cheers of the
fans. The score does not at all in
dicate just what a terrific struggle
the lads from Columbia, S. c., put
up and Morris Brown, the victor,
certainly has nothing to write home
about, according to the coaches who
were outwardly disgusted with the
showing of their men.
So history records another VIC
tory for the Wolverines, but they
will have to improve greatly to
meet the type of teams successful
ly that they will have to face from
next Saturday on through the re-
mainder of the season.
Joe Mitchell, sterling halfback of
the Wolverines played his usual
stellar game and was easily the
standout in this victory. The Nor
ris Browns line held the Allen team
to only three first downs with
only one being earned. The other
two were the results of penalties.
MORRIS BROWN
DROVE THE BALL AT WILL
The dream backfield of Morris
Brown looked brilliantly in spots.
Jenkins was accredited the longest
run of the day in the third quar-
ter when he broke lose for a 40
yard jaunt to set up the Morris
Brown third touchdown. Mitchell
was invincible on several of the
touchdown drives and fought his
way through the line with very
little blocking for long gains time
and again.
Exceptionable credit should be
given to the hard-running CT Duff
field and Defoy Arnold, the latter
freshman from Knoxville. The
first score was set up mostly by
the brilliant ball-carrying of Duff
field who was injured most of the
season last year Arnold proved a
sensation for the short time he
stayed in the game. His long run
just before the game ended and
several other jaunts with the oval
gave promise that he would be a
youngster to be reckoned with and
would make the other tailbacks
hustle to stay in the game.
The Wolverines made exactly 20
first downs. Their passing game
was completely off with the results
that many heaves were not within
reach of the received. Morris Brown
completed only two passes all day
to their opponents one.
DUFFIELD CAME BACK
Duffield, right -halfback scored
the first touchdown for Morris
Brown with his fine running which
dominated the So yard march to
score. Jenkins figured prominently
in the drive with a mad ~ yard
dash on a reverse to setup the
touchdown Moody showed the same
versatility that characterized his
masterful playing of last season.
The second touchdown clinaXed a
35 yard drive with Duffield, Frank
lin and Jenkins alternating with
the ball. jenkins made the final five
yard run for the score when he
went around left-end for the Sec
end score. Moody added the point
after, but missed the first try for
the point when his placement went
wide. This ended the scoring in the
first half. Allen did not threaten.
Morris Browns third touchdown
came when the Wolverines drove
&C yards to score. Jenkins on a
reverse raced forty-yards, Mitchell
and jenkins carried the ball to the
S yard line from whre Joe Mitch
ell broke off right tackle for the
third touchdown. Shepard, right
guard for the Puppies kicked the
point from placement. The final
score came shortly before the third
quarter ended when Jenkins and
Mitchell alternated with the ball
in Al yard drive with Mitchell go
ing over from the invaders yard
line to score SheparG'S Try 1Or
the point was low and scoring end
ed 300.
The fourth quarter was scoreless
with Morris Brown getting in pay
dirt three times, but fumhled to
lose the ball. Allen played an alert
ball game and deserves all the
praise that may come their way.
Taylor and Rhett played brilliant
ly for the losers. jenkins, Mitchell.
Moody, Dufford looked good car
rying the ball.
