Hunan's crack shooting and
failure of the Imperials to cash in
on everal easy shots put the game
in the win column for Central.
The defense of both tennis cracked
wide-open in the tlrst half.
Jack Mann. Central's elugated
center, made his first appeuruneo
on the Centrl court and gave a
good uccount of hmisclf. He plug

basket, a pivot shot, brought him
acclaim from the the crowd.
Klhee was the star for the vis

gamo and caged four baskets, his
final hsket in the Ist perid tying

Klhee cut through the Central
defense to score two baskets in
rapid succession after Kinney had
cashed in on a foul shot at the

Kinney shifted through the Im

SPORT MIRROR
lly JMKSIM.L J. COWANS
It has been said that fully 90
per emit of the boys who seek pab.-
lic acclaim on the gridiron want
to play in the hacklielU. Vet less
than d*> per cent of these aspir
ants have the ability to play a
hackfleld position.
In football the most glamourous
pari of the game is the advancing
ot the hall, Hunning with the ball
ranks above kicked goals and the
drudgery of the worn on the line.
It is the huckfiehl man who
reaps the glory. It is the hack
who gets the thrills of smashing
through the line or skirting around
the ends. It is the buck who hears
the wild applause of u forward
pass thrown. And quite often it is
another hack who receives the
pitched oval.
Whenever a long spiral punt goes
whirling down the field. In almost
every game it bounces off the
toes of a hack. Hacks do the place
kicking or drop kicking.
The young prospect who goes
out for the varsity eleven and is
assigned to a position on the line
quickly realizes Just what it means.
He knows that he will be a plod
der, He must give everything tu
bas throughout the time lie is in
the game in order to make holes
for the hack who is carrying it
ball. And the hack is receiving the
thrills and plaudits while the lino,
man remains unnoticed.
The hacks have the speed and
strength to knife through the de
fense of the opposing loam, hut
it tukes more than speed mi 4
strength to make a successful
I Imckfield star. Then* must he dial
compelltivc spirit.
The linemen display this rom
p< titive spirit in the personal con.
tin t W frit the OppOMltloll.
It Ih a very unusual thing for a
team u» have as many us three
huelfflehi stars of lho llrst mag
nitude. Hut this year high class
backs are so plentiful that pickers
of all-star teams will flml It dlf
flcull lo select four who will stand
head and shoulder above the other
Imckfield slurs.
Morgan, in winning its second
consecutive C. I. A. A. football
championship, luid fine hacks in j
Conrad. Troupe, and Wilson, Their
perfection of tho lateral puss help
ed them to crush the opposition in
the C. I. A. A. conference during
the season that just can to to a
close.
Tuskegee, although not as strong
as in pits! season, had a line pair
of hacks in Orcziah Johnson anti
Henry Adams. Morris Hrowti, one
of tho claimants of tho national
title, reolcvl Its offense around
Jones and l’arks.
lamgstoti, another school laying
claim to national honors, had
Wineshcrry, Waugh and Watkins,
O’Dell was the main threat in the
Wiley baekfield.
Wilherforce, also laying claim
to national honors, hud three
mighty line baekfield men in
Junius, Hurt and Terry. Alabama
State, a team that lost to Wllher-
Ifroeo anti Tuskegee, had its Mlt
•hell, Martin and Fields.
Fuory Richmond and Culler were
the aces behind the Hampton line.
Ware and Johnson wore the spear
heads in the Howard offense.
And so It went down the line

Coming from the freshman team
where lie showed so well in the

Cnlverstty of Detroit’s only color
