Painters won not what impressed the writer most but
the that they
in every department of the game The Clark uprising IN

back and redeem themselves this weekend when they meet
South Carolina State in Orangeburg The performance
against Xavier was indication of the brand of football
the Tigers will be playing later in the season. Xavlers

offensive before it could get started This frequently hap
pens when light team into good heavy team The
Maroons have brilliant array of backs but being small
they must be put the open before they pick up
yardage.
