Triplette,AMcReynolds and Ivie played a stellar game, demonstrating their various abilities in side-stepping, broken-field running and, receiving of passes. The game ended, Lane, 595 M. I., 0. BEAR CATS BITE THE DUST The Armistice Day battle was set for Rust College, another Holly Springs outfit. Rust, having received much dope on Lane by seeing them perform the previous week, felt very confident that she could override the Dragons. The Bear Cats played in the Dragons' territory for the first period before they realized the grave danger they were in. The Dragons using the famous pass- ing combination, McReynolds to Ragan, crossed the goal line for the first touchdown in the first two minutes of play in the second quarter. In the third period the Dragons held the Bear Cats for downs and the attempt to kick out of danger proved detrimental to the Bear Cats. The punt fell into the hands of Captain Brent, who in turn, raced through the entire Rust aggre- gation for a second touchdown, giving Lane a 13 to 0 Victory. DRAGONS MEET DEFEAT Primed for a gruelling struggle and encouraged by the victory over Rust, the Dragons met the strong Alabama State aggregation on neutral ground, Lewis Park, Memphis, Tennessee, November 19. In eight minutes after the whistle blew to start the game, the Dragons placed the spheroid safely across the Hornets' goal line. It had been rumored that the Hornets' line could not be penetrated, but the Dragons made this a false statement by ploughing their way through almost at will. Woodson, the Invisible , wedged his way through the Hornets' line whenever he wanted to Cand that was oftenj. The game had been predicted to have been a runaway affair for the Ala- bama boys, but on account of the stellar performance of every Dragon, the score was kept down to a 19-12 defeat against Lane. THE TIGER TRIUMPH S Coach Harvey's Tigerss came up from Atlanta Thanksgiving day billed as easy pickings for the Dragons. The Atlanta boys proved themselves very different from what the Dragons had previously thought of them. Fif- teen pounds lighter to the man than the Tigers, the Dragons fought doggedly through the first half holding the lead by a 7-6 score. But in the second half by a series of line bucks and off-tackle plays the Tigers succeeded in crossing the Dragons' goal line for a second touchdown. Trip , Black Mare Brown, Graye and Captain Brent made football history against Morehouse. It was Trip who raced fifty-five yards down the sideline for the tying touchdown. It was Trip's right foot that kept the Tiger at a safe distance when the Dragons had to give up the ball. Brent returned several punts for good yardage. The game ended 13-7 for Morehouse.

Baseball Early Spring training has given us evidence to believe that the 1928 baseball team of Lane College will be very successful. Quite a number of new players will be seen in action when the season gets under way. Judging from the way the old players, as well as the new, have been getting into form, a. vast improvement over last year's team is assured. The following men can be relied upon: Pitchers-Hardy, Graham, Murrell and Second Baseman- Graves, Turner and Johnson. Chatman. Catchers - Woodson, McReynolds and Shortstops-Ragan, Owens and Brent. Davis. Third Basemen-Nelson and Sims. First Basemen-Person, Strayhorn and Right fielders-Croom and Partee. Hamner. ' Center fielders-Triplette and Ivie. Left fielders-Berry and Roebuck. ZVWQSISQNX Basketball The first basketball team that Lane College has ever boasted in its history was produced this year. Playing only two games and winning both of these, the Lane College basketeers proved themselves worthy of much comment. We hope to have a new gym next season which will give the school more prestige in this form of athletics. Line-up: Forwards- WOODSON MCREYNOLDS COUNTEE BRENT .
