Football Schedule

Crispus Attucks high school Tigers will inaugurate their

football season with a clash against the Alumni Saturday afternoon at Perry Stadium at 2:30 p. m. instead of going to Xenia. At the last minute it was disclosed that the Ohio team could not finance the game, so the Alumni were scheduled.

Coach Alonzo Watford, former star fullback at Butler

University, has been driving his charges at top speed in a final

preparation to give the Alumni a real beating.

It will be a marvel if Watford

turns out a winning team the first year, especially when he has a group of men who are just fresh from another coach, however, his

prospects are very bright.

The Tigers have a tough schedule before them this year and will have plenty of fight for each game.

In daily workouts, many of the

boys are fighting for berths on the varsity, yet, a tentative lineup for the Alumni gave Watford and his assistant Page a line on the ability of the various players to fit

into his system.

- The outstanding of all is R. White, all state end last season, G. Khox, T. Martin, A. Finn and Woods. Both Smith and Warren are waging a hot battle for the quarter position, though Smith is likely to get the call. The Alumni will present a solid front when Capt. M. Brown leads his men on the field next Saturady. Such stars as L. Floyd, S. Johnston, P. Johnson, Daniels, Logan, and many others will be out there in the field to give the Alumni another victory over the varsity. The following are candidates for the varsity: George Wilson, Robert Barnes, Miltpn Bess, Richard Brooks, James Buell, Johnson Collins, Anderson Corley, Ellis Diggs, &d,ward Lawrence, James Evans, Leonard Floyd, Luther Freeman, Wm. Harris, Gerald Higgins, Thomas Harding, Loney Mclntrye, Ruben Mitchel, Lyman Myers, Kelly Perkins.

WITH LOYOLA LOS ANGELES (WS) — Led by the fleetfooted Eddie Atkinson, Tom Lieb’s Loyola University Lions raised the curtain on the current football season here last Friday night with a rousing 45-0 victory over the California Institute of Technology at Wrigley Field. The speedy triple threat back easily outplayed anybody on the field— running passing and kicking with a reckless abandon mhich marks him as one of the best prospective backs on the coast this season.

NEGRO STAR AT COMPTON

LOS ANGELES (WS) — One of the members of the Compton Junior College squad that played the Trojan freshmen as a preliminary to the Loyola-U. of Southern California was Cornelius Austin.’ He was picked last year as a member of the “All Coast” team while a student at a Long Beach high school team. Before entering that school, he attended and played football at the Jefferson high school in this city.

MAKES TEAM FIRST WEEK

Baby Lincolns Play at Stadium Sunday The Indianapolis Baby Lincolns r-re scheduled to oppose the Jamestown Cubs at Perry statium, Sunday Cctober 8th, at 2:00 p. m. Both (mms will play a double header; the Indianapolis team will have as its battery: Stratton and Crahtn. Toler, star short stop, will ho in action.

LOS ANGELES (WS) — Mallard Washington, all city guard from Manual Arts high school and member of the same team as Art (Rabbit) McNeeley has entered the Los Angeles Junior College. His first week out he was placed on the first team and made the trip north to Berkeley, California w f here his team played the U. of California Freshman team. Both of these boys won all city election in 1931 and were two of the best players in the City League that year. McNeeley entered the junior college last year hut Washington remained out - during the football season.

SHOOTING THE WORKS In speaking of Negro performers on the gridiron, I did not hear the word Negro mentioned, when the exploits of Fitshugh Lyons were being narrated over the air during the Indiana - Miami football game down at Bloomington, but the way that boy acquitted himself was marvelous, though he is not at his best yet. Jesse Babb also was in there for some of the glory. These boys will get their real test against Min-

nesota Oct. 7th.

Joe Lillard starred last week when the Chicago Cardinals dropped a tilt to the Portsmouth Bears 7 to 6. He tossed one of his usually long passes to a teammate that resulted in a touchdown and barely missed the point that would have end-

ed the game in a scoreless tie.

What Indiana State needed was three or four more Oliver Mays last week when they were swamped by Valparaiso, I hear that Liggons is out for the frosh team, and because of the punch and fight he carried at Attucks, he should make the

grade.

Crispus Attucks will take on their Alumni at Perry Stadium next Saturday in a game that will tell just what coach Watford will have to carry on with this season. Spencer Page, a graduate of Indiana State in the physical ed school, is assisting Watford during the illness of Radford Morris. These boys have been carrying their charges through a stiff grind in preparation for the opening encounter. The embers of the baseball fire are smoldering in the thud and echoes from the various stadii, where football reins supreme, however, there is one annual classic that will stand out regardless if some high school football team should beat Notre Dame, the World’s Series. We are also reminded of the fact that there is a Negro series also, the first series will determine the league championship, then an eastern champion will play the western league champion for the national or world title, that is if the first plans of the Negro National league are carried out in full.
