Recalled; Leadersh For several' decades Allen Un- I = ? iversity of this olty, an A.M.E. school, has been recognized lor j the caliber of its athletic organ- /\ izations. This has been especially true of its baseball and football team*. It Is of fairly recent date that basketball has assumed an J important .role in the school's athletic program; but as far back as the early years of the present __ century, her baseball, and football teams were facing on equal terms . some of the nation's strongest L. teams. L \ ULH HKKOX& ?"~T Old Allenites like to recount, | even today, the evploitn of?the-baseball team of 1913, which swept through Atlanta like a hurricane, leaving in its wake do 7 Morehouse, Clark, and Atlanta U. The pitching staff of that comprised tthe incomparable Ispm ? Lee; Ed Bouknight, Jerry Smiih,' and UavTd McHoney! Hannibal Howard was the other part ..of-jthe ' Tally -Addison, one i ~ of?tft? greatest natural athlptes "f all timp, w.:i^ :it shortstop; I,ucius Nash was at first; Tapp Gar M-jritm HinHwinlad third; Casper White, Benniej Bcsard, and one of the pitchers in the outfield. It is almost a certainty that had present Conditions prevailed some T>f those men " would have found berths in the major leagues.Since the student group was ? comparatively small during, these early years, the same men who participated in baseball also* car"-' ried the football responsibility. ~ , Others besidg - thpsc already _ .named who contributed to Allen's early foott^all prowess were the Coasev brothers.' A.T.B. and A.J. - R.; Calvin Matthews; Charlie Cromartie; Malachi Coleman; Wal ter Simmons; and Herbert Baumgardner. In later years Allen has had a sucucjaion uf good coaches. During his student days, Tally Addison also served as ~ coach, un - ? i i. ? ?:?. ^ wiuie ptttytng ooifi onseoaii and football. > He was followed by David H.
