great offensive poWerhouse, led by
two outstanding running backs, Up
shaw Sans and Arthur Sawyer, who
ran wild to score twice each, con-
tinued their impressive scoring re-
cord in Cramton Bowl as they hand
ed Alabama States plucky Hornets
a 33 to defeat in their annual
Thanksgiving Day battle before a
record crowd of some 1000 specta-
tors.
The once-beaten machine Of
Coach Cleve Abbott displayed
plenty of sip, courage and finesse as
they rocked along with plenty OF
class until given a scoring oppor-
tunity, they struck with plenty Of
speed and power for their six
pointers.
Alabama State had well-drilled
offense and flashed an outstanding
running back in Joe Crenshaw, who
played most of the game and must
have run with the ball four dozen
times, but the Hornets hard run
ming attack was stopped four times
within the shadow of Tuskegee'S
goal. In the first period they were
stopped on the three; in the second
on the IT; in the third on the
one, and in the fourth again on
the one.
Tuskegee broke the ice. in the
first quarter by scoring safety
when they tackled Tarrant behind
the goal line attempting to kick
the ball out. Midway the second
period Robinson pitched a 12-yard
pass to Sawyer for the first Tiger
six-pointer to touch off a 65-yard
drive. Robinson had recovered
States tumble on the Tiger 35 to
start the march. Ivey's attempt for
the extra point was no good. Three
minutes later after five plays from
the kickoff, Robinson pitched an
other strike--to the speedy and
elusive Sans who grabbed the toss
about midfield and outran the Eor-
net secondary to score. The play
was good for Sc yards. Robinson
booted the extra point and Tuske-
gee led, 1870.
Alabama State received the kick
off, Crenshaw carrying ball back
to his own 36. Then they drove Cd
yards for their lone marker, Cren-
shaw pitching to Cheatham IL yards
for the score. The try for the
point was wild, 1876.
Aided by clipping penalty fol-
lowing Van Cleve's pass intercept
ton, TuSkegee drove to another
score on the last play of the first
half. Van Cleve bucked the ball
over from the one-yard line. Sans
and Sawyer alternated at carrying
the pig-skin for another score two
minutes after the second half kick
off. Sawyer drove over from the
one. Robinson's attempted place
kick was wild. Score 27-6.
Late in the third quarter, Tus-
kegee'S great little back, Sans, in
tercepted wild State pass on his
own 43 and raced ST yards through
the entire Hornet team for the
final score of the game Sans was
given some beautiful downfield
blocking on the play. It was an
exciting gallop and was easily the
most thrilling play of the game. The
try for the point was no good and
the game wound up, 1876.
Both teams displayed plenty of
talent. Alabama States Elvie Sui
linger, John LeftWich and Yancey
Griggs did fine work in the line
while CrenShaw. Cheatham and Tate
were the big guns in the back
field. Tuskegees Dennis Stewart,
Linnie FyleS and Charles Perry
featured in the line while Sans,
Sawyer and Robinson starred in
the backfield, although the Tigers
