In the breakdown Morgan picked to cop the CIAA
honors with Wherefore grabbing off the Mdwestern au
res In revauation Lane given the inside rail in the
SAC ahead of Morris Brown Alabama and Florida with
Prairie View named to spread-eagle the Southwest.
The national picture almost unerringy true pre-
dction Morris Brown Morgan and Wherefore hogged
three of the first four positions nationally but Florida
ed in instead of Prairie View
sectonay Morgan and WiIberforce came through with
flying cOors Morris Brown in first instead of second
with Alabama and Florida holding two of the other three
positions selected Lane major disappointment The
Dragons inshed atop the division, behind Xavier
Tuskegee and Clark all three of which rounded out the
first division.
Prairie View not quite big disappointment in
the Southwest though Sam Taylor did fall short of
taons The Texans finished to Southern and
Laneso which divided honors for the Southwest penant
This the national derby should be paced by Morris
