OORHEES AM) MORRIS COLLEGE IN SCORELESS TIE ' Vouchees Junior College was hel.i to a scoreless tie by tr.e "Fighting Preachers" of Morris College in a chilly get-together that kept the spectators hot until the final whistle blew. As soon as the clear signal was given by the referee, .... ;.i that carried in three plays to Mor." ris's three ytrd line before the "Preachers" called time 'out. Voor hees tried four successive running plays that failed by inches tp core. Standing back in his <end T.<>: e. James Armstrong of Morris' rot off the* longest kick seen on this gridiron in years. Although the wftul fuv^rfcd him, the ball travelled some sixty yea.rds in the air to bounce out of bound on the twenty yard line. j Voorhees predominated the play the entire game. Its aerial tttack was unstopable except when 'he goal line was near. The Morris College line was impregnable between the tackles but vulnerable at the ends for passes. Once or twice Morris got beyond the frfty yard lirte) but never in a threatening position to score. Voorhees had some outstanding otssers in "Hank" McCollum and "Little All-American" Roscoe Davis, the sandy footfoig hampered the latter from showing his war*t> as u runner. Some fancy catching was done by Robinson and Wiggrins. On the dpfense Capt. Sojourner and E. C. McCullum were outstanding. Morris College's goal was uncrossed due to the brilliant defensive work of Robert Phillips, tackle and captain along with Pritmus Green, guard. In the backfield Jack Armstrong and George I)an iels were constant threats. Voorhees made 12 first downs to 3 for Morris College. On Friday night at 7:30 p. m. at the Denmark high school field Voorhees will meet Bettis Junior College in a charity game sponsored hy the Lions Club. / E PALMETTO tEADEk FHA-lnsur*d Mt I Monthly Paymei Is * ^"y^ss i * -> ^ fv & .' ; \ * ? -? 2 flaw GROWTH OF NEGRO BAPTIST CHl'RCH TO ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLAR INSTITUTION TOLD IN WPA STUDY t Richmond, Ya.~ The" i i-e of the Negro Baptist Church from the early struggles o f missionaries working among slaves to its present strength?embracing 17,743 ministers, 22,081 churches, 3,750,000 conmuinictnts and property valued at $103,465, 800? is re ountcd in the inventory of Church Archives in Virginia entitled "Neein Baptist Churches in Richmond,*1 USl 1SSIHM1.
