Tiger cagers Meet
PhiIander Smith

The highly touted Jackson Col
lege Tigers get another major test
Thursday night, December Is, at
College Park Auditorium when
Philander Smith College, defending
SCAC champions, furnish the OPP
position. Coach Harrison Wilson's
high and mighty crew serve notice
on Tiger opponents as they swept
to six victories against no de-
feats. One of the teams feeling
the Tigers wrath was Grambling
College, defending MWAA champ
ions, with the nations top-ranking
scorer, "Lil Abner" Hopkins.
Against the Tigers, Hopkins regis
tered SO points for losing cause.
Wilson's strong bench makes any
such sensational individual scoring
record virtually impossible since he
uses every man on the squad in
most of their games.
In their first six outings Herbert
Smith, playing little more than 30
percent of each contest, has amas-
sed total of 100 points to lead
the Jackson squad.

Roosevelt Catchings, teacher
and promising Jackson business
man, will soon move into his own
home. The new home, located on
Banks st. in Jackson, Mississippi,
is designed to provide maximum
comfort at minimum cost for the
wife and four children. The realiza-
ton of Catchings ambition to>own
his own home was made possible
by the new State Mutual Savings
and Loan Association.
Catchings had nothing but praise
for the State Mutual Savings and
Loan Association. He pointed out
that the Association, organized less
than a year ago to promote thrift,

Coach Harrison Wilson's squad is
doped to make it four in a row, but
the experts could be as wrong
about this as they were about the
Robinson Olson fight.
Tougaloo Southern Christian,
last season, fielded young team
which came up with their best
record in years. With one year of
college experience behind them,
Coach Braxton's squad is going
to give opposing basketball teams
a lot of trouble. Last year the
Tigers won two from the Bulldogs
one by sizeable margin and one
holly contested clash ending in
1866 victory for the Tigers. Mis-
sissippi Vocational won one contest
