INDIVIDUAL STARS
The junior squad turned up with
three sensational individual artist
in Ison Whatley, who participated
IN seven events and scored II IA
points; John Turner, VINO Compel
ed IN four events and tailed IL IA
points; and Marshall Arnold, who
entered just three events and yet
counted the impressive total of
II IA points.
r Whatley won the 120-yard low
hurdles and was lead-off man for
the Juniors winning $50 yard relay
unit. Arnold won the 300 yard dash
and $40 yard run as well, also run
ming second leg on the winning
nall mile team. Turner anchor
ed the $50 yard relay team to VIC
tory and also won the coveted 100
yard dash in the unusually fine
time of 10.1 seconds.
HOMER HILL, "TOPS"
However, high scorer of the
meet was Homer (Elmer the Great
Hill, rugged first-year man who
came to Morehouse by way of
Spencer High school in Columbus.
Georgia. The freshman wonder
scored firsts' in the broad lump,
discus toss, and javelin throw, also
placing third in the high jump and
fourth in the shot put for an over
all total Of IL points, three fourths
OF a point more than the remark
able Whatley boy.
Others who scored well were
Harvey Beech, freshman, and AL
bert Williams, sophomore. who
racked up eight and seven points
respectively.
DIAMONDS IN ROUGH,
Full many a gem of purest. ray
serene the dark, unfatllomed caves
OF ocean bear; full many a. flower is
born to blush unseen, and waste
its sweetness on the desert air.
That's what Thomas GRAY, the
famous English poet, wrote in
stanza of his '.Elegy Written in
Country Churchyard 1t might
easily be applied to Hill, Whatley,
Turner and Arnold. Coaches Frank
l.. Forbes and William Esxunn,
doubtless, could have used such
hidden talent the past year on
their track and field squad.
WINGED MERCURY
Turner's 101 seconds perform
ance in the century dash certainly
establishes him not only as the
fastest non-varsity athlete at
Morehouse, but as one of the speed
lest men in the entire conference
as well. Alabama States Leo Tar
rant and Benedict's Ed Greenidge
consistently tour the century I'M
der 10 seconds flat. But they are
the only men in the entire STAG
who have performed that feat.
Conceiyably, Turner might have
placed in all the meets in which
the MaroonS participated the past
year, had he been a candidate for
the track and field squad.
