S THRILLER TO MORRIS BROWN 12 0 In a battle that kept spectators in dcnibt throughout the ffcrst half a fighting Morris Brown football team finally found itself in the early stages of the third quarter to triumph over a stubborn and determined South Carolina State eleven, at Ponce De Leon Parl^, Saturday, by a score c/f 12 to 0. The score itself does not by any means tell the story of the Mor_ lis Brown victory, nor does it tnrow any light- on how stubborn State College, resisted her superior foe. The truth is, State College drove through Morris Brown at almost every attempt with run 1 ning plays in the dreadful first I half of the game. Not since 1935 has apy Morris Brown foe gained as much yardage on running plays as did State College last Saturday afternoon. | Although Morris Brown made "T6 first" downs to StateV- eight,1 more than the Wolverine line had given in her two previous games combined, it does not take aylay thei prestige that the Bulldog gained here on her running plays.
