Service to a Race 21 SOLDIER among soldiers, t. a statesman among statesmen, a man among men, with a principle that has elevated him in the hearts of his comrades and friends. I Ur has left an indelible imprint upon the annals of the history of educational benefactors to our race. General Oliver tis Howard was born in Leeds, Maine, on November 8, 1830. He was graduated from Bovvdoin College in 1850. and from the l.’nited States Military Academy in 1857. In 1861 he became assistant pro-fessor of mathematics at West Point. During the Civil War he received many honors among which were Colonel of the Third Maine Volunteer Regiment and Brigadier General of Volunteers, lie lost hi right arm in the Battle of Seven Pines. Lor conspicuous bravery in this action, he received in 18')3, a Congressional Medal of Honor, in March of 1865, he was hrevetted Major ieneral of the I S for gallant and meritorious service in the cam paign against tlanta. Yftet the war he served as the Coniniissiotter of the Bureau of Refugees, Kreedmcn. and l andoiie l Lands from 1865 to 1874. It was during this period that General Howard conceived the Herculean task of the intellectual redemption of the four million Negroes of merica. He founded a Howard I'niversity that was a combination of the home, the church and the school. Today Howard is a well equipped modern university in a city where there .ire nearly one hundred and fifty thousand colored people, for whose equipment ami uplift it special!) stands It i not only a city university, but a national university for twelve million people. It i the greatest educational center for the colored race in the Western World. The ideal of General Howard is more than realized. Howard is the laboratory out nf w hich Negroes who are of great worth are turned, to fit into every aspect of life as American citizens. It i- an international Service Center. for graduates have gout to every State of the I'nion, to the Islands of the Sen. to frica, sia. Europe and South merica. General Howard retired from active service in 1894 and died in Burlington. Maine. October 2 . IW The service wrought by General Howard is inestimable. The prophecy, The good men do lives after them, is amply fulfilled.

To the Registrar alone is it given to know certain points of contact of his office with the various activities of the institution of which it is a part and various transactions of this institution with the outside world. To the applicant the registrar .- office i- the testing lire through which his credentials must pass in order that they may insure hi- admission to lii-heart's desire. To the student the office i- the originator of the fearful ordeal through which he has to pass at each registration dav. By the faculty, it is often looked upon as the source of much annoyance because of its frequent and insistent demands for information concerning the records of student- and the origin of much red tape so abhorrent to the academic mind. To the high school principal, it i- a necessary evil in it- insistence upon complete and accurate records covering the entire secondary career of the -Indent, ami at the same time, a helpful influence m supplying information concerning the progress ni his graduates after entering college. Like the elephant which the Mind man came t«. -ec, the activities of the registrar’s office are judged too often l v the individual circumstances of the interested party. rage seventeen N N BISON ° I 9 1 9 J.

HOLMES Dean The College of Education From it- very lurginning, Howard ha ' maintained a department or school lor the training of teachers. From 1X70 to l'MJO it was known as the Normal Department. During that | rio l. there were graduated one hundred and eightv-nine persons. In 1 00 the Teachers’ College was established and continued until the year 1919 a the teacher-training division of the I’nivcrsity. It was of collegiate grade. The School of Education existed from 1919 to 1925. This organization va one of the senior school?” of the Cniversitv, comprising the last two years of collegiate work. The reorganization in 1925 increased the extent of the teacher-training activities to cover the entire four years of college, and changed the name to the College •� ! Education. The response that the colleges and universities have made to bi change of attitude is indicated by the development of schools ami college? of education and by the rapidly increasing enrollment of the students doing professional work in education.

Here was. the end i the rainbow' Would we find that famed pot of gold? We asked ourselves this question, knowing while we did s,, that time alone would tell us the answer. Green we were indeed; our paenie caps proclaimed the lact that our ignorance wn- din thing but refreshing. It proved to be bliss, however, and who will deny it when he calls to mind our first meeting with the faculty in the Hilling Hall, our class meeting eve;v week, tllOSC strolls around the Reservoir and tlu- thrill of taking tea on Sunday evenings with one’s best boy or gil l friend ? Last, but not least, w ho can ever forget our wonderful Prom; June rolled around all too -imhi and with it came the “parting of the ways” for the members of our class. Sorry to leave, but full of joyous anticipation of what we would do to the group of neopliites who would join the family at Howard Cniversity next year, we left for out respective homes. Chapter II AGE OF SOPHISTICATION Wc entered the second lap of our journey, not a bigger, ’ti true, but at any rate a better class, than ever. • ionc was that paenie cap and along with it that hangdog air that naivcncss and coyness of our paenie days. Many of us even discarded the fashion of dressing in ‘'collegiate clothing, it was fine for parities, but we were too sophisticated now for such foolishness. We spent our first week or so in making life generally miserable for the parities. ur second week, wc settled down as befitted our m v dignity, and at our second class meeting elected Miss Lottie Hargett and Mr. George McNecley as representatives to the Student Council. In the field of debating we emerged with Hying colors, c )ur team of girls compost'd of Misses Clara DcShields, Lillian Redding ami Jacque Wright, defeated the Freshman girls' team; and on the men’s side. Messrs. Robert Dandridge, George Me Neeley and Hyrotl Hopkins defeated the Freshman hoys' team.

Chapter III AGE OF CONFIDENCE When I was a child. 1 spake as a child and acted as a child, hut now that I have become an tippet classman. I shall put away childish things.” dopting this .1-. our motto, we plunged into our Junior year in the fall of 27, full of confidence in our ability to uphold the dignity of our position, and to reach our cherished goal Seniority, t'pon the resignation of Mr. Glen-wood Jones, who, as president of our class tip to this time, had brought us successfully through two years of alternate tempest and calm, this sacred office was entrusted to the care of Mr. Stephen Stanford, who has acquitted himself admirably. The Junior-Senior Prom, given in the Gym'' on the night of pril 20 in honor of the Senior Class, wa- a more spectacular and memorable event than ha been witnessed at Howard University for many years. This brought to a close the activities of our Junior year, and s,, we passed on t« Chapter IV AGE OF AUTHORITY In the fall of ottr Senior year, we moved proudly as became those who had passed triumphantly through the trial- and tribulations of our Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior years. We were tolerant of. and even smiled sometimes at the paentes. just as if they were not 0 absolutely unimportant. Life had pretty well settled itself, as far a- we were concerned. Vc decided never to marry, and were disgusted with the “idealized idiocy of love.” We planned to he very “Mali.” it you know what I mean. The yearbook was our greatest activity and to many of us. it offered an excuse to sit through the long afternoons in the Bison office, talking to those workers busily engaged in I ”'1-ing dummies, or in doing any of a number of other thing-. N� � w that this is over, we arc face to face with graduation, the end. or i- it really the end: Not for the Class of 'JO; fortified with the experience and knowledge gained during our four year-stav at our dear lma Mater, we shall go out into the gteat world, and let our light so shine that all dial I say of us 1h.1t “There have been and there will hr others to surpass ,ls m virtue, but none shall ever npial u in glory f'ai; fifty-three N R.

WARFIELD Surgeon-in-Chief MISS C. K. MAY Supt, of Nurses CLASS HISTORY Dining the earl) part of September 1 the present graduating clas i l Frcedmcn's School of Nursing entered these con tines. From all parts of the country were chosen forty-two girls who expressed the desire to show their love for humanity by a life of service nursing. The class entered with a spirit of youthful vigor, and after three vears of intensive training, depart retaining their vigor toned In a more comprehensive view of life. Departure brings to our minds many things. Our first regret is that we are no longer forty-two in number, ten having dropped along the wayside for various reasons. The cottage course having claimed three, ami it appeal ' that many more will follow shortlv. One, Miss P. Kent, never to he forgotten for her kind, gentle, demure wavs, pierced the veil of the Drcat I’eyoiid in March of this year. Secondly, the conclusion of training means the severing of friendly th . iirinly established thru three years of intimate contact. And la . 1 ur comes the feeling of uncertainty which accompanies the departure tn'm 1 u known into the unknown. Pnyc eighty-oit To our supervisors ami teachers, we give our greatest esteem and thank' • r their endeavors to mold its into the sympathetic, checrful lisi sitioned, service-giving women we should lie. Also for their efforts to aid Ms in the rapid adjustments made necessary by environmental, staff, curriculum. and geographical changes. The hardships of adapting oneself on admission, the trials of our first night duty, the labors expended on -tihjori matter, will all he forgotten in a comparatively short space of time. All that will remain will he the glow of pleasant events, and escapades. The class's first social event was the giving of the I'rosh I’rom. Ian-nary 21, soon to he followed by main other informal dances, parties, and late evening spreads in the Prom room During the Junior yeai we had the pleasure to entertain the incoming class as well as the Seniors, at the Junior-Senior Prom given at Murray’s Casino. The class has always played a prominent part in the social life of the school, special interest being taken in the annual Hallowe’en Party. When even these events have passed from memory into oblivion, who will fail to chuckle over some of our escapades? The day we took picture w ith our caps at the angle dictated, ami at the angle desired, r the December night duty P 2h when the Misses K l� . Young and S.

From it comes the Major oi Cadets, the President of the Student Council; the editor-in-chief of the 11 ill Top: the editor-in-chief of the bison; and last Inti hv no means least tlu president of the Senior Class These selections arc made from this class by well-established tradition. Croat incentive to faithful and unselfish service i.� r the clas- and for the I'ni-versit as a whole, is the result of these conditions. The Junior Class gives annually a prom in honor of the Senior (lass This is usually the outstanding social affair of the spring season at the I’niversitv T he spirit behind this function is that the Seniors who have merited graduation be given sonic token of affection and esteem In next year's Seniors. I his year's Tnmi' promises to outclass all of previous years. An effort i being made by our class to bister dramatics Wc purpose to have an opportunity night and to give a party during the spring quarter.

JONES FKK.SJDF.XT OF STCI� KXT COl'NCM. STUDENT GOVERNMENT Freedom of thought aud speech to-day ha - its effect in making- possible greater freedom of action and representation in all fields of endeavor. So it is with us as students of colleges and universities. Keali ing that we arc the future leaders, and that training i best received by solving our own problems, we have organized a student Council, an organization that serves as a link between the student body, faculty, and administration. This Council represents the student opinion, needs and demands. .So great has this student movement of self-government become that a national organization (The National Student Federation of America! has been founded. This organization, which is composed of the leading colleges and universities in the country, convenes once a ear to crystallize student ideas and actions s«, that all student groups will work with the same objectives in view. The national organization i- a member of an international orgaization with a similar objective. This relationship enables u to develop not onlj a national but an international spirit of good will, and to develop respect for student idea-, aud actions. W e realize tha! only through strong student organizations locally, nationally and universally can wc achieve a recog uized Student Government. Page ninety-eight 5tudent Council llu Mudent Council of 1928-192 inu l c truly called the Student.- Council. It paramount aim has been to represent ti t individual thought hut that of the entire student body. To insure that end the Council during the entire academic year of 192X 1029 kept not only in t on-taut coinniuniea lion with the prevailing sentiments and need ol the student body through class representatives, but also with the leaders of various student activities r u l student thought. The Student Council a acting representative of the student body dedicated itself to the fostering and realization of the needs and rights of that body. In this the Council of 192X-1921) succeeded remarkably well. IVrhaps to some, as they read this, the 'picstion will cotlte Just what is the basis on which the Student Council of Howard University is founded? The Council was sanctioned and approved In the faculty and trustees of Page ninety-nine N 1 A O N ray isqn ° i9i9n thc University because they believed that better ami more significant results would follow in the matter of personal conduct if such restriction and recommendations as arc necessary for the good of the student body should l ‘ sponsored by the student group through wise and intelligent student leadership. The paramount aim of the council is not to light solely for the interests oi students when tluir rights arc infringed upon; it i not an organization to combat and declare unconstitutional regulations passed by the faculty; it is not a dance-giving organization. It is rather an organization t«� create conditions consistent with a theoretic standard, to remove conditions inimical to the interests of the University. and to be active in doing those things which promote the welfare of the school. It i an organization articulating with the faculty and administration, representing the thought ami desires of an intelligent student body, designed to better acquaint one part of the I’Diversity with the other. Mong the trail that will Maze in across the pages of Howard University's history the Student Council of |9?.S-1929 will leave several milestones of progress. Among these milestones will loom two major projects that this Council, under the capable leadership of Clenwood Karl Junes, it-, president, will he remembered by posterity. Howard’s return to the C. I. A. . after an absence of four years was greatly facilitated through the aid of the Council, who represented the opinions and wishes of the -indent group in requesting Howard's return to the soein.tioii. I he other major project i- the establishment of a university bookstore oil the campus after comprehensive and exhaustive study and research, along with the compiling of data of operation of bookstores in other leading institutions of higher learning This material was submitted by the Council and approved ami adopted by the Trustees of the University. These are but a few of the many problem.- solved. As tin Council of 1 28-1 29 passes on there arc yet many problems which must he faced squarely and solved by those who must carry on where we have left olT. Therefore, ever mindful of the succc- of the present Council, let the C ouncil of 1928-1929-1930 go forward with greater impetus and inspiration to the solving of those problems yet remaining.

Despite the occasional rough water and a temporary leak, our voyage on the ship of ‘ f has seemed on the whole quite short and very pleasant. The experience gained on the cruise will he in no small measure a profit to all of us. Your President feels indebted for an exciting and interesting adventure while at the helm. There have been friendships created that will last; respect aroused that will endure, and a knowledge of human nature that the years will not destroy. The past is behind u May I be permitted to heartily thank all those who have made this short journey more pleasant by their help, energy ami toleration of shortcomings? The class leaders are to be commended for their courage and many others for their willingness to contribute their l e t which secured the social and financial success ol the class. And now to the future—there arc other seas to sail, other boats to man and other lands to travel. May we at all time- hold this a- our motto— Expend thy all in pursuance of a worthy cause.

W e stand, as ii were, on an eminence midway between two uu certain eternities. From thi height we can survey the world Looking thru the eyes oi history we see a long train of immortal men and women, who valiantly fought the battles of the free. Their names are emblazoned with everlasting glory wherever the song of freedom inspire the upward march of the human spirit. What mighty forces of inspiration are these! Out from the other racial group stood Howard. W ilber force. Sumner. Stower. Lincoln, Harrison, Phillips Seward and John Brown with a host of others who formed the- vanguard of the army fighting for the advancement of all humankind. Their sacrifices and suffering foi a people's welfare inspire the sons and daughters in the foremost university of the race to carry on to completion the work which others started for u . The Class of 29 of Howard University resolves to carry on. Upon the horizon, and in the star we can read the names of those from our own racial group who have entered Fame’s Universal Hall- They form a long line of immortals Dessalines. Hannibal. Cristophe, Duinas. Taylor. Banneker. Douglass. Washington. I Omerture. Dunbar. Wheatly, Langston and others who broke thru the barriers and found places in the Sun. Some rose in death they give us a theme for an elegy. Sonic were victors in life.....they give ti a theme for an ode. The achievement of all of them i a source of inspiration to every college community. They give us the theme for the Bison of Inspiration. l ag one hundred twelve The Inspiration of Negro Art Hy Alain Locke Art i an index to culture. That contemporary Xrgro life i- producing more art. and Letter art. i- an indication not only of our growth in formal culture, hut a demonstration nf the possession of those spiritual and intellectual capacities which command highest and most permanent human recognition. Negro Art of to-day stands for self-expression, self-interpretation and self-in piration. It promises to rescue the Negro mind from two great spiritual evils.—of having to see itself -olelv through eyes of other- and of having to draw it- culture entirely from alien and foreign sources. Few of ij.s only can he creative artists, hut vve can all cooperate in the artistic expression of Negro life as intelligent art consumers and generous art supporters. With intelligent hacking. the artists of this generation can do more to inspire the people and vindicate them before the world than am other class or group among us. Poyc one hundred thirteen The Inspiration of Negro Poetry r.v Countce Cullen 1’oetry. for 'egr«� es as fur every other race. i the spiritual manna by which the hungry, disillusioned flesh is made to hope again at the moment when it is most weak and spiritless. It is the never-drying fountain at which man has drunk since the beginning of time: the last man will still be drinking there. It is the crystal globe in the mystic depths of which can be seen the world as it might be. and a it is not. but as we hope some day it may he. I can think of ii i group anywhere • much in need of this ision a- the young Negroes of America. That life apart which they are forced to lead, that life which makes them oi their world and yet not of it, would make a potential poet of each of them. Some have called all poetry a lie. but 1 prefer a beautiful lie to truth when the latter is harsh, ugly, and unjust. Your poets are men and women, weak vessels of a season’s duration, but the poetry of a people, of any people, is a fine and clierishable thing. It has been said of a certain people, They had no poets: so they died.” Hut the poem is greater than the poet. Let it he .said of us. They make a poem of life; therefore they live.

The Negro ha- a history which would lit published and popularized. Not to know what one's race has done in former time- is to continue always a child. The Negro knows practically nothing of his glorious past, and his friends are not permitting him to learn it. The Negro, therefore, i- referred to as a childlike race. Let ns study our history.

C, by the tune of 22 to ( . For an o] euing game awav irom home the game was one of the most interesting of the year. Coach West changed his entire method of approach vine1 for the entire afternoon prior to the game the Bisoiis were made to learn new plays and succeeded in doing so to a remarkable extent. For Howard both the first team and the second team showed up to great advantage with the Doctor Dan Brown taking the premier role, while for Livingstone Berry and Butler were outstanding. Howard l‘ —J. C. Smith 7 Coach West sent his second team out to face the Smith “Bulldogs” in the home opening game hut it wasn't for long because the Bulldogs” broke loose with some too bad football and for a few moments it looked like a Smith day. When Coach West sent out the regulars there was a general sigh of relief prevalent in everybody who wanted the “ole Bison to romp. Smith actually came up here with something up their sleeve and after it had slipped out, Bogcl was first suggested lor an Ml-American post which post he won hands down. It was a great game Page one hundred (teventy-four N O N BISON 0 1 9 1 9 OI'IMI Howard 7 -Moorehouse 0 Moorehousc came all the way from the (ieorgia that -••me people call “dear old; determined to break that 27 tic game by n nice little margin. They did—the .score is printed above. Hut they sure went down fighting. Captain “IlnsC Boss planted the uld pigskin 'tween the goal posts for the one and only score of the day. MToorehouse got anxious and gave Howard the extra point 1 jumping offside on the “try. Marshall and Coles starred in the passing act. Howard 7 West Virginia 21 While several of the strategists of the team were witnessing the Hlue fie Id- Morgan game trying to get the ups on both Morgan and Blue field the Yellowjackets from West Virginia threw a crowbar in the “works.” But they beat ns and beat us fair so there’s no kick coming. But. honestly. 1 think the lx� ys had an off day and no fooling. lack Young and Ham Payne were the real Howard threats in thi� game. All the West ir-ginia bunch played well.

The lir-t two scores were made by forward passes and the first one by Atlanta from Kd wards to W iggitis long pass front Ross to t oles evened things. It was in this game that Howard completed 16 out of 11 forward passes, a new colored inter collegiate record. Ross. Paine, and Marshall were outstanding for 1 Inward and Wiggins. I.amarand Lias were best for tlanta Howard 7—Fisk 0 In the L’nicersit) Stadium Howard crushed Fisk by a score of 7 to 0 in the fifth game of the season. Howard greatly outplayed Fisk in the lirst half, but 1'i-k came back strong in the second half and held Howard closely tor a: least a quarter The officials seemed to have an off day in this contest Howard scored lM first downs to 1 for Fisk, but were unable to put over the score in punts but once Webb, Paine, and Mack were best for Howard. Mack substituted for Simpson and showed us some of the best end plav that we have seen so tar tin- season Hr-ioks and Thornhill were Fisk -best bets.

The Negro newspapers unanimous!) declared it the outstanding game � f the season. Cain, the wonder II-American quarterback of Blucficld, had his leg broken earl} in the second quarter and before the game wn over his mates wreaked vengeance on the Bison clan, by sending both Tommy Hawkins and Jack Young to tlu hospital with badl torn legs There were more casualties in thi-game than all the other games combined which caused Coach West no little worry Howard 0—Morgan 0 Howard journeyed to Baltimore and met the Morgan Bears in the new Morgan park and what went on is unnecessary to talk about. B .tli Morgan and Howard were with in one yard of the goal line but neither could score. In this game Morgan proved a l� ig surprise for it was thought that Howard would score an easy victory. Kverything happened at this game, but scoring.

Lincoln won the toss and elected to take advantage of the incline and picked down hill to Howard's live yard line Chiles returned tile hall ten yards before being tackled l Douglas. Howard uncovered a consistent offensive and made four first down- in succession which planted the pigskin on Lincoln's fifteen yard line. Here the Lions, aided by a five yard penalty, held for downs. Lamar kicked out of danger to the midfield. Howard started another offensive. Mtcmat-ing off tackle plays with a deceptive aerial attack, with Marshall and Payne carrying the ball, the liisons marched again to the shadow of Lincoln's goal only to lose the hall on a tumble. Lamar hooted again past midfield. Coles returned the kick to Lincoln's ten yard line. Lincoln fumbled on the first play. Howard recovered ns the quarter closed. Howard returned the compliment by fumbling on the first play. Howard started a great offensive from I in-coln’s 33 yard line. A twelve yard pass from Marshall to Coles was ruled successful because of interference with the receiver Coles skidded off left tackle for a touchdown and Payne's drop kick was blocked. lust as the half ended Payne received a I'nge 0W� hundred arrrnty-cii ht short pass from Marshall, and aided by perfect interference, made a most beautiful run only to be tackled on Lincoln's one yard line just as the half ended. Lincoln showed the effect of Coach Meyer C lecture by varying their attack and marching Howard with a deceptive overhead offense. Lincoln kicked to Coles, who galloped to his own .55 yard line. After a first down had been mack by Marshall. Clark of Lincoln, intercepted a forward pass. Lamar kicked for a touch back. The ball went to Howard on the 20 yard line. Coles kicked to midlield where Jackson, in an attempt to make a scoop, fumbled. Sally recovered fur Howard. A pass. Marshall Coles, shortened the distance to the enemy’s goal by 1.5 yards. Lincoln subsequently made several substitutions. Captain Ross made six yards thru the line and made a first down on Lincoln’s 15 yard line. Two attempts at the line failed. A long pass to the end zone, Marshall to Mack, sewed up the game for Howard. Coles' drop kick for the extra point went wide. Martin and Smith made substantial gains for Lincoln near midfield but the Lions never got within Howard's 20 yard line. (dark punted to Payne on Howard’s 45 yard line. Marshall added five yards. A triple pass, Pavnc to Marshall to Mack, netted ten yards. Lincoln smothered the next play. A pass, Marshall to Payne, netted the first down Lincoln tried desperately for a touchdown. Three long passes in succession netted f 5 yards arid placed the pigskin deep in Howard's territory. A pass. Martin to Temple, made first down ending the game. For Howard Mack, Coles, Marshall and Payne were stellar while Mar tin and Clark were best for Lincoln.

Coach Burr and Captain Walker laced no little trouble weeding out the better players and placing the prospective Freshmen on the “peanie squad. This having been done, Howard opened her season iti the stadium on the Saturday preceding Faster. plaving against Storer in the morning and Arnold College in the afternoon. It marked the first time in the history of our class that a white college leant has played in our stadium, ruold ollege had a well-balanced team blit it could not function against our well-foiled machines tin its first appearance, so Arnold came hack. On Saturday. April 4. Howard downed a fast-going team from Morcr College by a score of 11 to 9 then accelerated, met and crushed Arnold College by the score of 13 to 6. On ICastcr Monday. April 6. instead of playing ns per customary on a foreign field. Howard stayed home, tackled and had the fireworks turned on them. Arnold College, after having played icorgetown University in the morning, journeyed back to Howard with blood in her eyes and when the dust had cleared at the end of the ninth inning. Howard staggered off the field, having been defeated by a 2 score. The rnohl men seemed to have been inspired by reason of their morning triumph over ieorgetown, atld knocked the old apple all ox er the field o less than ten brand new halls were lost in this game via the foul hall fence play. Page one hundred eighty-two 1 NSP1K.ATIOM SON o l919 At the beginning oi the season many of the « 1«1 Vets were in uniform including such men as Rn� at first, Colt at second, 'l ick Smith in center. Mask at third. Roy and Slade, pitchers. Patterson in right and Jimmy Shields. Rain also played havoc during the baseball season. Several of the major games were caused to be cancelled from the schedule due to this element. Two southern teams came up to Washington and decided to crush our baseball squad and came near doing just what they had decided to do— Johnson C. Smith beat us by a li -5 score then Morris Brown completely annihilated our team, winning by a 25-10 score. Bun” Haves, ace of the Smith squad, and recognized as one of the greatest Negro college pitchers, was touched for 12 hits, while Hull and l)can issued 14 between them, proving at least Howard’s ability to hit !u the fifth inning Jimmy Shields poled out a long homer which was matched by Tucker of Smith in the Nth inning. Hull passed four and Have gave the ticket t« three; Hayes fanned nine Howard men in the game while Hull --truck out two of the ‘‘Bulls.’ Worst of all, was the fact that Lincoln, lowly Lincoln, of all teams, came here to win tor the first time in ages It wa on a beautiful afternoon. April 19, 1928, that the Lions,” surely robbed of their roar during the history of the Class of 1929, actually came t Washington and won a game. Quite a feat for them, but miracles must necessarily happen now and then or there wouldn’t be any miracles. So they won by a score of 12-11 and that’s that . Harmon and Lamar were the battery for Lincoln, while Kay. Slade and Lomax held down the Bison end. The Freshman squad played as well as might have been expected; in fact, they proved to be nearly as powerful as the regular squad. They won ✓ of 9 games played. Those earning the Varsity H” in baseball were: Captain Walker. Manager Taylor Gaskins. Lomax. Mance, Hull. Kedbanks. Taylor, Spann. Bowles. Bogle, Gillam and Jonc- Herman Gaskins was voted as captain-elect of the team, while John Howard was voted as manager elect of the squad.

The first of these meets was against the Baltimore N . M. C. A. and was widely advertised. Due to the inability of Jones, Webb, and Morris, regulars, to he present at the meet due to sickness. Howard lost the meet to Baltimore. The meet was very interesting and was not decided until the final event, which was lost by Howard It was in this meet that both Joe Drew and Azikiwic. l a-t frican wimmi� g and track -tar. outdistanced men to win tlu ir events handily. Smallwood was Baltimore's best bet and scored -cvoral victories for them. After the first meet. Babe Swifc, who had been acting as manager of the Bison . was elected to the position and Pete Tyson a captain to lead the tankmen. Coach Pendleton put the swimmers through many hard workout- preliminary to the second meet against the Neptune Club also of Baltimore, and as a result tlu- team won very easily. Morris. Drew, Harris and Aziwikic again won the premier honors in this meet. ThC rjuartel easily won the relay within record time.
