Ties Shamrocks
A near-cjl>ac:ty crowd of foot*
ball gazers jammed Briggs Stadium
Sunday afternoon to enjoy a sixty
minute. thrill-packed game when
Father Flannagans Nebraska Boys
Town team fought the highly-rated
Detroit Catholic Central eleven to
a 14-15 tie The Nebraska team (
started as the underdog being out
weighed in every position But
hardly a minute elapsed before
the Shamrocks realized Boys Town I
was willing and able to meet them'
on common grounds.
Oden Displays Skill
/..Although Father Flannagan's
consisted of 40 players of
which four were colored, only one
of the group made the trip, Chester
Oden. No. 46. The remaining three
were Ted Barnes. Ken Morris and
Jeilh Bates. It was not until only
four minulea of play remained
when Oden got hit chance, to
feel the pigskin at right guard and
smash the formidable foe all over
the field. Barely had Oden en
tered the game when he made a
spectacular tackld of Quarterback
Roland Olzark. who had eluded
several of the Nebraskan blues and
whites as he covered some fast
ground in a run around right end
to Boys Town’s 52-vard line.
Resorting to an aerial attack with
only seconds to play, the gold and
blue advanced the ball through the
center of the line for a touchdown.
Catholic Central converted for the
extra point to end the game in a
14-14 deadlock.

RUSS J. COWANS'
Sport Chatter
Reams and reams of copy have
been written about Ben Steven
son. Tnskegee’s biasing halfback
of the early 1920’5, but very tittle,
if anything, has been said about
the guy who cleared the path as
the flying Tiger roared to touch
downs. This stalwart of the grid
iron is Ernest Bailey, now exerting
his efforts toward assisting Hesd
Coach Cleve Abbott in coaching
Tuskegee football eleven.
What Britton was to Red Grange
when the Galloping Ghost was
blazing a trail to national fame
and acclaim, as he brushed aside
would-be tacklers. that’s what
Bailey was to Blazing Ben. open
ing holes with his 195 pounds of
hard muscle and brawn.
Bailey was a member of the
Tuskegee teams from 1924 to 1927.
while Stevenson cut capers on the
gridiron at Tuskegee from 1923 to
1930, the first three years as a
high school player.
Cosch Abbott, who is now In his
twenty-fifth year as head mentor
at Tuskegee. was riding the wave
of success during those halcyon
years of the 1920’5, his teams main
taining an unsullied record from
1924 to 1928. tying two games. The
greatest team of that period was
that of 1926. a team that had such
stars as Stevenson. Bailey, Paul
! Smith, and Woodtn In the back
fleld. The line was composed of
Owen Duncan and Ike Robinson
at the ends: Cornelius Robinson
snd Ashton Kitchen as the tackles;
Bill Jennings and Addle Moore,
guards, and Oscar Tad lock, one
of Tuskegee’s immortals, at renter.
It was during the season of 1926
that Stevenson gave one of his
greatest exhibitions of gridiron
performances. Tuskegee was play
ing Lincoln «Pa > university in
Franklin Field in Philadelphia, and
on the first play Ben. w.th Bailey
brushing aside would-be tacklers.
broke through the Lincoln defense
and raced 85 yards for a touch
down. He converted the extra
point.
A short time later he kicked two
field goals before dashing through
the Lincoln team for 35 yards and
another touchdown. He again con
verted the extra point. Tuskegee
won 20-0, and Stevenson made all
of the markers.
Red Grange was in the grand
stand. and after the game came
down on the field and congratulat
ed Stevenson for his great per
formance.
Later Ben. realising the import
ant part Bailey had played in his
achievements, slapped the husky
teammate on the hack, telling him
that It was only behind his bril
liant efforts that he was able to
score touchdowns.
Stevenson is now living in Hous
ton. Tex, Those who saw him rare
up and down the field in those
golden days, like to recall his great
performances, and Bailey is in
cluded in that group.

The T-formation pattern of at
tack used by Coach Cleve Abbott's
Tuskegee Tigers has placed a big
burden on the quarterback who
must direct the offense of the team.
Alva Tabor, the Fort Valley iGa.t
senior has been designated as the
signal caller for the Tigers, and
in him Coach Abbott has found a
capable man.
This job of quarterbacking the
Tigers, because of the use of the!
T-formation. is the key operation
in the team's attack. While Abbott
was giving some instructions from
the bench. Tabor faces the diffi
cult task of choosing the right play j
to offset any alteration in the de- 1
sense of the opposition.
Several times daring the game
here last Friday night in University
of Detroit Stadium. Tabor, after
taking his post directly behind
the snapperback. switched his play
from those called in the huddle,
indicating that he had detected an
alteration in the opposition's de
fense.
Tabor is a valuable man to have
on the team. Not only did he do
an excellent job of running the
team on the field, but he also dem
onstrated his ability as a forward
passer, ball carrier, and punter.
He excelled in the three depart
ments.
This big fellow. Thomas Horns
-1 burger, 197-pound fullback, has
plenty of drive in his smashes
through guard and tackle. The
same can be said of Ernest Mc-
Neil. the big fullback for Wilber
force.
Both teams had good lines. The
blocking and tackling was good.
The teams proved conclusively that
each had been well coached in the
fundamentals of the game.

Col. Joe Trlner. former chair
man of the Illinois Boxing Com
mission. has returned from India.
I.ibya. Tunisia. Sicily. England and
France, and while on the various
fronts had an opportunity to see
Sgt. Joe Louis in boxing exhibitions
on more than one occasion.
According to Triner, Sgt. Louis
has done the outstanding job of all
sports entertainers in this war.
“Louis not only entertained with
his fists." Triner explained, “but
he talked to wounded men in hos
pitals and he lectured to members
of his own race. In the latter re
spect, he was of invaluable serv
ice."

Hughes earned his latest victory

lefts and rights.
A crowd of 1,500 paid a net gate
of approximately $3,300 to see the
card.
