alabama Beats
Norehouse 81

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Oct. 49,
Alabama State cashed in on two of
an even dozen fumbles made by
Morehouse here tonight to edge the
fighting Atlanta eleven 81 in a
ragged football game highlighted
by smashing line play on both sides.
A Morehouse tumble on an at
tempted pitch out play from Scott
intended for Fred Guy gave the
Hornets a safety when Guy scooped
up the ball and reversed his field
IN an attempt to run out and was
smeared behind his own goal by the
inrushing Hornets.
A few minutes later, Cotton
punted out on the Morehouse one
yd. line and the balance of the first
half found the Maroons in and
putting down one Hornet threat
after another.
Morehouse grabbed the lead in
the middle of the third by marching
90 yds., Scott passing to Turner
for the payoff play. Perry con-
verified from placement.
Late in the fourth quarter, an
other Cotton punt rolled dead on
the Morehouse 16. On the next
play, Scott, the Morehouse quarter
back fumbled and State recovered
on the 15. Little Sylvester Moseley,
l53-pound substitute Hornet back
from Inkster, Michigan, scooted 10
yds. off left guard to the More
house five and Veteran Eugene
Weatherly bolted through the same
spot for the touchdown on the next
play. A high pass from center void
ed the try for the extra.
Only four minutes remained and
the powerful Hornet line which had
been a shade weaker than the Ma
rooms line all evening, rose up in
It's might to smear every Maroon
threat and protect the scant mar
gin for State victory.
Morehouse rolled up nine first
downs, completed 7 passes out of
~, one of which was BOYD. heave
from Christler to Foster to set I'D
the touchdown, absorbed as yds. in
penalties, and recovered two hornet
fumbles. State made only S first
downs, completed two out of 12
losses, intercepted two Maroon
passes, lost 80 yds. in penalties, and
recovered four Morehouse miscues.
The fine running of Cary and
Turner kept the Hornets fearfully
alert all evening. The Hornet run
nlng attack failed to jell until the
touchdown break in the fourth.

JACKSON COLLEGE SCORES
VICTORY over TEXAS

AUSTIN, Tex, Oct. II - The
Jackson College Tigers showed
little mercy as they battered the
Tillotson College Eagles into sub
mission before an estimated crowd
of four thousand fans in Anderson
High School stadium at Austin,
Tex, Saturday night.
The highly partisan crowd here
was shocked as the Tigers right
halfback George Twyner, went
over for a touchdown on the fifth
play of the game after a Tillotson
College tumble.
The Tigers scored twice in the
first half, the second I'd was the
result Of an intercepted pass that
Left Halfback George Evans pulled
out of the air and, behind a host
of down field blockers, ran As
yards to pay dirt without a finger
being placed on him.

down in the third period, after its
shifty backs carefully Unanswered
the ball down to the Tigers two
yard line, where Left Halfback
Johnnie Long took a hand off and
raced around his left end for the
six points.
The third period found the Tig-
ers chalking up another I'D as
Evans passed Is yards to Right
End Willie Lewis, standing in the
end zone. Quarterback Jimmie
Roberts went over in the fourth
period on a sneak play for the
fourth tally after Evans returned
another intercepted pass for 81
yards to Tillotson two yard line
The Eagles, with their "never
say die" spirit, fought until the
last whistle but their best efforts
were futile in the face of the saw

Cupp who served several years as
teacher at Wasatch Academy in
Utah, and who is now serving in this
church and Sunday School as an able
youth worker and teacher.
Youth Work
In 1908 local Christian Endeavor
Society was organized. A few years
later this society became an active
organization and affiliated with the
Allen County C. E. Such interest de-
veloped in youth work that in 1877 a
Light Bearers society was organized
for the children.
In 1924 the church was host to a
Countrywide C. E. rally, and MEM
ber of the local group, Lloyd Van
Meter, was elected County c. E.
president. When the International
C. E. Convention was held in Cleve-
land in 1927, a large delegation from
this church attended.
The church still has a fine group of
young people Though not as many as
in former years. who have been very
active in preparing for the church S

/ the Presbyterian Sunday School dates
back to May 1866, but it was probably
organized before that time. The first
Children's Day program was given in
1885 when Rev. B. J. Brown was
pastor. Several living members par
ticipated in this program.
For 20 years the Rockport and
Truro churches were united under one
pastor. In 1879 the Truro church be-
came self-supporting and the Rock
port congregation joined the Bluffton
Presbyterian Church in calling a
minister. The first minister under
this new parish relationship (Which
continues today was the Rev. Ed
ward Layport. He arranged to hold
worship services every two weeks, al
ternating morning and evening. This
plan continued until the pastorate of
Rev. A. ]. Clark, 1894-97, when ar
rangements We're made to have SER
vices every Sunday.
By the turn of the century the
church had shown many signs of
growth, but also faced many prob
lens. In spite of rapid turnover
of leadership (ten ministers in twenty
years. the membership had climbed
to 81, but receipts for current ex-
penses and benevolences were very
low. The Board of Home Missions
paid much of the minister's salary.
1t was also about this time that the
first building was struck by lightning
for the second time and was in dire
need of extensive repairs.
Second Building
At a congregational meeting in
March 1903 it was decided to build
new house of worship. A half-acre
of land was purchased from Enoch
Trumbo for $500. The building
committee chosen by the congregation
was Jacob Zeiders, j. R. Marshall,
and Isaac Campbell. Erection of the
new building aroused much interest
in the church and its work. The
structure was dedicated debt-free on
May l, 1904. At this time the mem
bership of the church reached 81, the
highest figure ever reported in its
hundred years. The minister at this
time was the Rev. John Todd.
In the Fall of 1904 the Ladies Aid
Society which had helped raise funds
for the new building was reorganized
as Missionary Society. Besides its
regular meetings for mission study,
the society has helped foster the
social life of the church, and has
brought in many missionary speakers
to incite renewed responsibility for
Christian service. A tradition of
many years has been the annual
Thank Offering Service in November
, On this occasion a dinner is held for
the entire church and after a fine pro-
gram special offering is received
for some phase of mission work.
In this connection, three persons
have gone into Christian service from
this church and Missionary Society,
Miss Eunice Trumbo, an ordained
minister in the Congregational
Church is now serving a church in
Council, Idaho; Mrs. Agnes Faze
Nichol, who served as nurse in
India, and is now the wife of a Pres
byterian minister; and Miss Edythe

Drugs Kill Cancer-And Patient.
Dozens OF drugs will cure can
cer-and kill the patient.
They are violent poisons to both
cancerous and normal cells. There
is constant search for some sub
stance which will be much more
lethal to one than the other. One
striking possibility was reported
to the chemical society here today
by chemists of the American Cy-
anamid Co.
This possibility. reported DR.. M
L. Crossley and his associates. in
group of chemicals known as
ethylenimines.
All of them are highly poison
Gus. Yet when cancerous rats were
treated with one of them 20 per
cent were cured and in all the
others the cancer was retarded
and the animals lived longer.
The cured and immunized rats,
however. paid a price for their
lives. Their white blood cells ap-
peared to be permanently dam
aged. 1t might well be fatal in
a case of human cancer.
Another approach was reported
by DR.. Kenneth N. Campbell and
his associates of Notre Dame Uni
versity. A common and highly
poisonous plant is the mandrake.
From it have been extracted three
extremely poisonous substances
which inhibit the growth of can
GERS in mice. They also are
likely to kill the mice.
The Notre Dame chemists are
working on the assumption that
the chemical parts of these mole
cules which inhibit cancer are
not the same parts responsible for
the poisonous effects. BY tearing
apart the molecules and regroup-
ing them they hope to arrive at
a cancer retardant which Is not
poison.
Two Basic Life Processes.
Two processes in nature are the

First is photosynthesis by which
green plants manufacture starches

CHICAGO, Sept. 7.-Congress
was called on last night for spe-
cif1c action on the drafting of
scientists.
After telegram to President
Truman Tuesday from the $4,000
member American Chemical So
ciety directors, DR.. Ernest H.
Volwiler. the society's president.
in his retiring address. asked for
a three-point program enacted
into law.
Merely a statement of policy by
the President, it was felt, would
not be sufficient to meet what the
chemists feel is a national emer-
gency of the first order, greatly
accentuated by bungling in the
last war.
Objectives Sought in Laws.
DR.. Volwiler, head of one of
the country's largest drug indus
tries, asked for laws assuring:
First, that key scientists in in
dustry. Government and univer-
stiles be left at their posts.
Second, that scientists in the
armed services be used in jobs
for which they are trained.
Third, that outstanding science
students be deferred from the
draft until they have completed
their training.
The chemists feel that the coun-
try came close to bankrupting it
self of brains by shortsighted
policies in the last war when, in
some cases, promising young
scientists were used as rif1emen.
War is becoming more and more
technical. And the number of
men capable of original research
is extremely limited.
Europe's Help Wanes.
In the past this country has
depended largely on Europe for
it's basic science. although it has
supplied a lot of the necessary
technology. Now it is on its own.
Most Of the basic science on which
the atom bomb was based, for
example. was European with
America supplying the money and
mechanical skill.
In another emergency the
European contribution probably
would be lacking.
In this part of his address DR..
Volwiler spoke for the society.
Speaking entirely on his own he
deplored the current drive for
spoon-feeding the individual from,
the cradle to the grave" He also
expressed fear that the new Ma
tional Science Foundation might
fritter away it's funds on short
term practical projects" for
which political pressure could be
brought rather than on basic re-
search without immediate practi-
cal value.
A-Bomb Cited As Example.
There might be a demand, for
example. to spend a few billions
seeking a cure for cancer on the
theory that this could be accom-
plished just as the atomic bomb
was accomplished by spending a
lot of money. Actually. he pointed
out, the situation is entirely diff
ferent.
When the Manhattan project
was started all the basic science
was known. All that was necessary.
at however great cost, was to turn
the fundamental knowledge into
practical results.
There is nothing approaching
the same progress towards a basic
