In the Cycle of Time there are but three spans.
From one end rolls away Yesterday: an infinite recession lost to us
except in man-made monuments, and as a state of mind which names
it good or ill; from the other end comes in Tomorrow: an unfathomable
mystery, in spite of solemn claims to the contrary; and in the middle
runs Today: man's only opportunity of keeping his rendezvous with
Destiny.
That destiny we can no more chain irrevocably to the anchor of the
first span—which is history, than we can wager our souls upon the
infallibility of the last, which is the future. For, if our past be glorious,
we cannot therefore rest our case upon it; and, if it be dismal, we
cannot draw greatness therefrom. As for the future, it is joined to Now,
and yet, outward from the very point of union, is unknown, unseen,
unheard, unfelt, in spite of star-gazing and crystals and prisms.
Thus, the past is practically dead, the future still unborn; with the
present alone, alive; and thought and action its sole linkage with both
the past and future.
Therefore, in this matter we prove our intelligence and education, not
by making a fetish out of yesterday, but only by laying imperishable
foundations for a beneficent tomorrow upon the actualities of a vital
today.

DEDICA TIDN
AST JUNE, Lincoln University lost one who, for twenty
L
years, had devoted himself to the classroom instruction,
to the activities, to the library, and to the religious life
of Lincoln University. The retirement of Professor Robert
M. Labaree was felt keenly in all these spheres, as well as in
the hearts of all who knew and were influenced by him.
His broad point of view and tolerant modern attitudes endeared him to the student body, but even more endearing
was his real and active interest in the students and student
groups. His clarity and sincerity of purpose were at all times
evident, and he never failed to stand firmly for his idea of
right in campus affairs.
P r o f e s s o r R o b e r t M. L a b a r e e
His ceaseless activity and untiring effort were amazing for
his years. His keen insight and fertile mind were equally
amazing, and his understanding of students and campus problems was gratifying. Throughout his career here, he was
known for a lack of malice and prejudice not always found
in men of his position.
For all these things and many more, we, the members of the
Class of 1941, feel indebted to him. Especially is this true since
we are one of the last classes to have had the privilege of
his beneficial influence. In an effort to show something of the
gratitude and admiration which we hold for him, w e do dedicate this, the 1941 Lion, to Professor Robert M. Labaree.

JUNIOR CLASS
By their silence and precise action the Juniors have given notice that they are
ready and prepared to replace the outgoing Senior Class. While expressing their
sorrow to see the departure of the Class of "41", they are quite confident that they
can amply refill all the vacancies.
With the realization that they have passed the half way mark, and are about
to begin the last lap of their college career, these determined sons of Lincoln have
set as their goal—achievement; for themselves and for Alma Mater.
Only one-third of their original number is left, as they conclude their third year
of study at Lincoln. These ; have not lost the vision of graduation — and of service.

Characteristic of all ex-freshmen, the Sophomores pride themselves with more
wisdom than their breadth of experience warrants. With a smattering of knowledge,
they stand perplexed at all the wrongness in the world; intolerant because the
wisdom of the "worldings" is so inferior to their own.
Excited by the position of dominance which they hold over the "canines"—with
chest expanded—they parade themselves as the "lords" of the institution. With only
two-thirds of their original strength they, by position, are able to rule the "preps."

FRESHMAN CLASS
Typical of all newcomers to Lincoln, this year's crop is ambitious. Coming from
almost every state on the east coast and the midwest, they represent, perhaps, as
many divergent points of interest. Following the trend of recent years, a large proportion of the Class hails from New York State and Pennsylvania. The entire aggregation numbers approximately 125 students.
Maturing rapidly, after the hectic days of adjustment, these youngsters look
forward, with anxiety, toward the responsibilities and privileges which shall be
theirs at the end of their first year; taking firm hold on the mythical "line of Pi."
Though this class entered Lincoln while the dreadful sound of declared war still
echoed 'round the world, their spirit of idealism has not been quenched. They are
hopeful and determined.

Since 1916 representative student government hcs been an institution at Lincoln
University.
The Council, elected by the student body, assumes the responsibility for the
maintenance of a high standard of cooperative life on the campus; and serves as
the agency through which crystallized student opinion is conveyed to the faculty.
Emphasizing campus democracy and encouraging student participation in
campus government in preparation for effective adjustment in the world beyond
the confines of the university, the Council has vigorously stimulated student interest.
With a keen sense of its potential importance to the student body, a serious
effort has been made to make this student organ the vital vehicle of government
and expression it should be.

Four years ol undergraduate training prepared these men well for the job of
editing this LION.
The excellent organizational ability of the editor, James K. Baker, insured efficient gathering of the material necessary for the publication. An earnest attempt
has been made to improve the literary and physical features of the book. The
inclusion of informal snapshots, familiar campus scenes, and extra curricula groups
makes this issue, in the true sense of the word, a representative student publication.
To the members of the staff and the student organizations who cooperated,
unstintingly, a deserving word of credit is due. The staff wishes, also, to express its
appreciation for the advice and assistance of the University Business Manager,
Mr. George A. Birchard.

THE
LINCOLNIAN
After a two year moratorium—prior to our arrival to Lincoln—publication
of the Lincolnian was resumed in the fall of 1937. A few of the men on the
present staff, including the editor, Jesse Gloster, were instrumental in bringing
the newspaper back to student life.
Without question, this year's Lincolnian has been the finest of our four
years. Courageous crusading, regularity, and a high standard of journalistic
achievement has characterized the work of this staff.
THE LIBRARY
STAFF
Chasing, replacing, casing, and embracing books are the duties of these
drafted sons of erudition. Through a system of promotions, it is possible for
a student to move from a common shelf clerk to the more difficult phases of
library organization. Each assistant is given a course in library science as
a prerequisite to employment.

Dedicated to the pursuit of scientific truth and restricted to the ablest science

The Society is composed of upper classmen who have maintained en
average of 1.8 in 30 hours of natural science—and a general third group
cumulative average in all other subjects taken.
THE P H I L O S O P H Y
CLUB
Catching the spirit of speculative thinking characterized by the ancient
sagas these searchers for truth and understanding meet monthly to discuss
the heavy side of men and things.
The members prepare discourses, often creative in nature, which they
present at their regular meetings. Membership is restricted to philosophy
majors. Dean George S. Johnson is the faculty sponsor of the group.

As a result of outstanding achievement in an academic field or prominence

and examinations, others are leading freshmen in the required program of

During the past year a scholarship dance was given by the "Delawarians."
THE
BAND
Although often referred to as the "Rabble Band," these swingsters also
play for some of the campus dances; and also include in their schedule
engagements off the campus.
In the realm of swing they rate only a trifle below the best in the business.
During discouraging moments of a gridiron fiasco—or during the half—the
Band can always be depended upon to penetrate the spectators with their
spirited rhythm.

a very wholesome addition to campus life.
Each year Epsilon Chapter sponsors a Freshman Oratorical Contest. A
silver loving cup is presented to the winner of the first prize; a gold medal
is awarded to the winner of the second prize. By this project Kappa awakens
the Freshmen, early in their college career, to the necessity and advantage
of excellence in expression from the public platform. National Guide Right
Week serves to remind students of the avenues of vocational occupation open
to Negroes, and encourages thorough preparation for the several vocations.
The Annual Sweetheart Prom, given by the "Cats" is always a "topper."
For two successive years Epsilon Chapter has gained dominance in the interfraternal basketball league.

Since 1912, the date of its founding, Mu Chapter has maintained a commendable record on the campus of Lincoln University.
With a keen interest in "Bigger and Better Negro Business," Sigma has
sponsored — by a series of Chapel services — its very informing weekly
emphasis on the development of Negro Business. In addition, this year, Mu
Chapter conducted a Freshman Essay Contest, in memory of their brother,
James Weldon Johnson; awarding a prize to the author of the most acceptable
piece of work.
In intra-mural athletics, Mu Chapter's basketball team gave good account
of itself during the current season. The Annual Dance is always one of the
highlights of the University social calendar.

STATE
vs.
LINCOLN
Invading the lair of the Lincoln Lion for the first time
in many years, the Yellow Jackets of West Va. State
were repulsed by a 10-0 score.
Most of the first half was a stalemate with neither
team gaining any appreciable yardage. Pleasant of
West Va. and Hunter of Lincoln engaged in a punting
duel with the Yellow Jacket back having much the
better of it.
Seemingly stymied in the second quarter, the Lions
completed a beautiful 30 yard pass from Baker to
Shade and advanced deep in enemy territory. The
State team was completely surprised when "Milt"
Pearcey place kicked from the 15 yard line to score
the first tally of the game. The Yellow Jackets, aroused
by the sudden turn in the game, stormed back led by
Burris, fleet-footed halfback. This attack bogged down
in a hurry when the fighting Lincoln line, led by
Captain Murray, piled up play after play and the
C a p t a i n Frank Murray
Orange and Blue recovered the ball.
The final half was pretty much a repetition of the first quarter until late in the final stanza when
brilliant runs by Baker, Hunter, and Marshall Groce, elusive freshman back, brought the ball to the
enemy 3 yard line. Here Bill Hunter plunged over for the score. As usual the reliable Pearcy converted. The Yellow Jackets unsuccessfully attempted a series of passes but the scoring for the
afternoon had already been completed.
OCTOBER
19—MORGAN
vs.
LINCOLN
Completely subduing the fighting Lincoln Lions, the
Bears of Morgan rolled over the Orange and Blue on
the long end of a 31-7 score at Wilmington, Delaware.
The first quarter was a see-saw affair in which punting played the main role. However, in the second
quarter the dormant Bear power came to life as Kee
and Mosby alternatingly slashed at the Lincoln Lion,
occasionally interspersing a flat pass with deadly
effect. Reaching the four yard marker, Morgan tallied
as "Unk" Campbell plunged over and then added the
extra point.
Not in the least dismayed by this score, the Orange
and Blue line piled up play after play as Morgan
attempted to tally again. Ralph Oves, burly Soph
center, stole the ball from Mosby on his own sixteen
and snaked along the sidelines to the Morgan 35. However, Cain intercepted a Lincoln pass and Kee then
Kenneth Lee
heaved a long pass to Burdnell who outdistanced all
pursuers to score for Morgan.
Unleashing all its power, the mighty Bears turned the game into a rout, scoring twice on runs by
Burdnell and Brickley.
Determined not to be white washed, the Lions, sparked by Paul Williams, began a belated goalward trek. Massey crossed over on a 25 yard pass for Lincoln's first score. On an attempted placement by Massey, the ball was blocked and "Tiger" Jones scooped it up and raced across the goal
as the gun sounded.
OCTOBER
26 — C H E Y N E Y
vs.
LINCOLN
Still smarting from the Morgan setback of the previous week, the fighting Lincoln Lions had a field day at
the expense of Cheyney's "boys in blue," running up a
score of 33-0.
Starting a bit sluggishly, it was late in the first
quarter before the Orange and Blue power asserted
itself. Recovering the ball from Cheyney in Lion territory, Lincoln, led by Bill Hunter, crossed the Wolves'
goal in a series of line plunges. The extra point was
missed. On a sleeper pass to Hunter, who lateralled to
"Philo" Lee, the Lions again scored. Again the extra
point was missed.
In the second quarter, Cheyney, led by Pride, rugged
quarterback, and Smith, left end, assumed the offensive
only to have Bill Hunter, brilliant Lion back, intercept
a pass and race 85 yards for a touchdown. Pearcy's
attempted conversion was blocked but he recovered
and went over for the score.
On successive runs by Glover and Chamberlain, Lincoln marched to Cheyney's "40" only to
receive a 15 yard penalty. Massey then kicked to Cheyney's 21. However, Pride then quick-kicked
back into Orange and Blue territory. Lincoln then opened a sustained drive and moved down to
Cheyney's 2, where Benny King crashed over. An attempted conversion by Engs failed.
Late in the fourth period Lincoln again tallied as "Tiger" Jones heaved a long pass to Cheyney's
one foot line. Then Russ Beverly went over on an end around. Pearcy converted to make it 33-0.
NOVEMBER
2—HAMPTON
vs.
LINCOLN
Playing on a wind-swept field before a large homecoming crowd, the Lincoln Lions crushed the Hampton
Pirates 14-0 on Rendall Field.
Bill Hunter, pile driving Lion fullback, indicated what
was to come by taking the opening kick-off on his own
goal line and sprinting seventy yards before being
pulled down by the Hampton safety man. A minute
later, Hunter again broke loose on a delayed buck and
carried the oval down to the Hampton 9. However, the
attack bogged down when Engs fumbled on an attempted end sweep and the Pirates recovered. McGee,
Hampton's fullback, punted out from his end zone as
the quarter ended.
Starting on their own twenty yard marker, the Lions
again struck as Bill Hunter crashed over tackle and
cut toward the sidelines, aided by the vicious blocking
of Bill Burnett. As the Hampton safety man moved in
for the tackle Hunter lateralled to Bobby Engs who
Jim Baker
scampered the remaining distance unmolested. Pearcy
kicked the extra point.
In the fourth period, Hunter took a pass on his own forty from Engs and ran to the enemy twentyfive. Engs then rifled a short pass to Russ Beverly for a five yard gain. Fading again, Engs whipped
another pass to Beverly who evaded two tacklers and went over standing up. Engs then converted
to make the count 14-0.
Hampton, belatedly aroused, attempted to score on a series of passes but Ralph Oves, Lion
center, intercepted one and dashed the hopes of the Tidewater boys in the final seconds of play.
i
N O V E M B E R 9 — L I N C O L N vs. U N I O N
Exhibiting a powerful and diversified offense and a
rugged defense, Manny Rivero's band of fighting gridders notched a decisive 15-9 victory at the expense of
Virginia Union's Panthers on Hovey field, Richmond,
Virginia.
Early in the first period, Freddie Cooper, Union's
great back, was seriously injured. With Cooper's exit,
the Panthers' attack became nil and Lincoln, led by
Bill Hunter, marched to Union's ten yard line. Here the
attack lost its potency and Union took over.
Gaining possession of the ball near the end of the
first half, Lincoln again threatened to score, as Baker,
alternated running and pcssing, brought the ball to
Union's 24. Here the Lions were apparently stymied
again but Pearcy booted a perfect placement.
Just before the half ended, the Orange and Blue
gained possession of the ball and scored again as
Jim Baker threw three short passes from midfield and
Chamberlain added a bit of adroit ball carrying.
Bobby £ngs
Pearcy's placement was blocked and the score stood
9-0 as the half ended.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Lions scored again when a Union pass was intercepted.
Bob Shade snagged one of Hunter's aerials and side stepped his way into the end zone.
Smarting under this attack, the now enraged Panther marched to Lincoln's 6, but the Lion forward
wall held for four downs. Bill Hunter's attempted kick was blocked and converted into a safety by
Union. A few minutes later Glover lofted a long aerial to register Union's last tally and the score
stood 15-9.
NOVEMBER 21—LINCOLN vs. HOWARD
After an uneventful first quarter, the oldest Negro
collegiate football rivalry resolved into a history-making rout. Before the shadows of dusk had gathered
over Griffith Stadium and a brilliant Howard homecoming pageant, the Lions were resting on the pleasing end of the now classical score of 63-0.
In spite of Bill Hunter's 40 yard sprint on the first
play from scrimmage, Lincoln was unable to force
Howard to give ground deep in Bison territory. At the
beginning of the second period, however, Rivero's
stalwarts began to set the tempo for the afternoon's
engagement. Jim Baker's pass to "Silent" Scott was
good to the Blue and White 16, from whence Baker
stepped over tackle for the first of nine touchdowns.
Coming right back, Lincoln marched to Howard's
15 yard line where Hunter grabbed Baker's running
pass and scored. Milt Pearcy added his second extra
im
orsey
point and kept on adding them until he had notched
eight consecutive points after touchdowns.
In the second half, the hardest fighting team in the conference definitely established its superiority over Harry Payne's Hilltoppers. Scoring almost at will, the Lions sent the score into large figures.
In rapid succession, Burnett, Engs, Shade, Hunter, King, Beverly, and Costa accounted for sixpointers.

BASKETBALL
The powerful Lincoln Lions of 1940 began the basketball season of 1940-41 without the services of
Captain Perry Honey '40, by dropping two games in two days to the C. I. A. A. champions of 1940,
Virginia Union University. Playing on December 6 and December 7 in Philadelphia and Atlantic
City, respectively, the Lions and Panthers clawed each other up considerably with the outcome
being doubtful in both games until the last few minutes. Minus the great Wiley "Soupy" Campbell,
who was ineligible, the Panthers left no doubt as to who the C. I. A. A. favorite should be as they
played in mid-season form with Clyde Davis ably filling Campbell's shoes. In these games the
Lions gave evidence of what was to come by functioning erratically, only at times flashing the
brilliance of last year's aggregation.
Opening the C. I. A. A. schedule at Virginia State on January 13, Lincoln dropped a tingling thriller to the Trojans by a
37-36 count. Coach Rivero was still searching for a man to
replace Honey and injected frequent substitutions into the
game for that purpose. On January 17, the Lions traveled to
Philadelphia where Morgan trounced them 42-35.
On February 1, the Lions began their annual Southern jaunt
by invading Washington, D. C., where they were victorious
over Howard by a count of 35-28. On February 3, at Charlotte,
North Carolina, the Lions were soundly trounced by the
Golden Bulls of Johnson C. Smith University as Bill Oliver and
Bucky Walker had a field night. The final score was 54-37.
The next night at A. & T., Lincoln again lost a heart breaker
34-32. Smarting under this defeat the Lions journeyed to
Raleigh where they romped over the hapless quintet of St.
Augustine 50-40.
On February 12, the Lions played their annual game in
Orange, N. J., losing again to Johnson C. Smith, 53-50.
In Philadelphia, on February 14, the Lions thrashed the
"Wizard of Oz" quintet from A. & T. as Young had an "on"
night with Hunter giving able assistance. With the A. & T.
victory under their belts, the Lions launched on a winning
streak beating Virginia State, Johnson C. Smith, and Howard
the week of February 17. Coach Rivero's numerous experiments had uncovered a winning combination composed of
Williams and Wareham at forwards, Young at center, and
Shorter and Hunter at guards.
* i
Capt. Jesse
Gloster
Playing the last of five games in a week, the exhausted
Lions lost to Washington Recreation in Washington by a 42-35
count. The week of February 21, the Orange and Blue won
three games beating Bluefield, Cheyney, and Morgan but
resumed their losing ways at Hampton, losing to the Pirates
by a 44-42 count. As if to prove why their season's record
was mediocre the Lions then dropped two games to Luken's
Steel of Coatesville end to Cheyney in an amazing upset.
Finally, the team did not play the brand of ball it was
capable of. On paper we had a potential championship unit
but Perry Honey's graduation proved to be more damaging
than it was thought it might be. Jesse Gloster never played
up to the brilliant standard of his past years and Ernie Young,
although ranking second to Bill Hunter in total points scored,
suffered a 55 per cent decrease. To offset this "Babe" Shorter
and "Fish" Williams played consistently good ball as did
"Flash" Wareham. However, the mainstay of the team was
Bill Hunter who was high scorer with 165 points followed
closely by Young and Wareham who scored 163 and 159,
respectively. Jack Warrick and Costa played brilliantly at times
but were too erratic, probably from lack of experience.
The team will lose only Shorter from the first team and
Captain Jesse Gloster and Engs by graduation.

Long have I lived
In doubts and fears,Much have I seen
Of blood and tears.
Days have been lean,
And nighls have been cold;
Board bare of meat,
And garments too old.
Yet in my seat
With me rides One —
Constant as Spring,
When Winter's gone.
Light does she bring —
An ever-burning ilame;
Upward she points —
HOPE is her name!

FUTILITY!
Moonless quiet,
Loaded down with woe;
Darkness of night,
Pregnant yet with storm!
Salt tears unshed,
In eyes that cannot seeSenses transferred,
Yet still in impotence;
One world long lost,
And yet no other gained!
Sorrow and sin!
Ragings within and chaos without!
Now this, now that!
Now - here — no - where!
Nothingness all —
Both Here and There! !

PROPHECY
Fans were filing by the hundreds on to Rendall Field, and by game time
a brilliant sun was streaming down on 20,000 gridiron followers massed in
the newly erected Charles Frank Murray Stadium. The huge crowd rose as
one as burly James Masten Lewis, III, booted a beautiful end over end kick-off
to inaugurate the sixty-fifth renewal of the oldest Negro collegiate rivalry.
It was Thanksgiving Day, 1961, and the Lion and the Bison were at it again.
The game was as closely contested as any former Lincoln-Howard game
and only Referee "Philo" Lee's debatable ruling on pass interference against
Howard enabled Lincoln to score just before the end of the half. As the players
plodded to the locker rooms at intermission, Selwyn Atwell and W. D.
Coleman, professor and assistant professor, respectively, of English at Howard
University, ran out on the field to joke good-naturedly with their old classmate,
"Philo" Lee, for his costly decision on that pass.
During the half-time, hand shakes were plentiful as old timers sought out
each other. State Representative E. K. Nichols was congratulating his colleague in the Legislature, James Masten Lewis, Jr., on the fine playing of his
son, and Lewis, in turn, was admiring Nichols' taste in cigars. Surgeon Chester
A. Waters was sending out a general notice that he would be kind enough
to take anyone back to North Jersey after the game for as little as 50 cents.
William Beale Ramsey, III, now an up and coming Philadelphia ward politician, exchanged greetings with Waters and appeared much chagrined when
he learned that Waters was not going through Philadelphia but was taking
the shorter route through West Chester.
Dr. William Garner, Rufus Shorter, and Elijah Harvey were rushing around
bidding hurried "hellos" and "good-byes." They explained to Reginald Young,
of the Baltimore Board of Health, that their professional football team of
up-state "hunkies" was playing a crucial league game that night in Pottsville.
University Business Manager Franklin H. Williams was extending a perfunctory invitation to all to come to his home over on the pike after the game.
J. Vernon Daniels, proprietor of the swank "Tush Club" in downtown New
York, and his band leader, Cleo "Sax" Palmer, were eyeing critically the
new five-button sack sport coats worn by Dr. Peter James Smith, of Main Line
prominence, and gentleman-of-leisure, Heyward Blackwell.
Maurice Anderson and St. Julian De Costa were lamenting their recent
ill-fortune at the hands of the Wilmington Dupont click. It appears that the
two non-conformists had suddenly decided that all was not morally aright
with such a concentration of power. James L. Bryant and Winston A. E>ouglas,
both administrative powers at Virginia State College, were trying to persuade
Harvard doctorates, Julian Gilliam and Felix Lindo, to accept teaching positions at State. Lendall Chase, new head of the National Negro Congress,
held forth valiantly on Negro labor's urgent need for organization. Reverend
Henry H. Mitchell loosed his clerical collar to admit that the need was an
urgent one, "—but it'll never happen!" Doctor Roy Nochols, for five years
now a member of the staff at Union Theological Seminary, was questioning
New York State Senator H. Arthur Brisbane on the possibility of placing
Jesse Gloster at the head of the proposed extensive Harlem recreative
program. Brisbane demurred awhile and then answered favorably on the
condition that Gloster mustered his forces in support of District Attorney Vergil
Young in the coming United States Senatorial elections.
The players had returned for the second half; but before play continued,
the loud speaker announced that all true men of Lincoln would please
assemble in the middle of the field for the traditional singing of the Alma
Mater led by Professor Benjamin D. Mitchell. Mitchell had raised his hands
when a terrible commotion at the east gate caused all 20,000 heads to turn to
the scene of disturbance. Business Manager Williams and his statistical sidekick, Robert T. Freeman, rushed to the ticket booth. Finally, G. Claiborne
Fowlkes appeared; it seemed that Williams' ever alert ticket-takers were
reticent about admitting Fowlkes on a press card from the new born "Memphis
Nectar Bowl." Again Mitchell gave his signal to begin and the melodious
tenor voice of Dr. H. Clay Jacke led the chorus of "Dear Lincoln, Dear Lincoln."
As the last words of the Alma Mater died out, Coach Luis y Ramos stopped
to speak to Coach Rivero, now in his twentieth year of coaching at Lincoln.
Ramos desired some information on the plausibility of bringing a Latin
American track team on an American tour, financially sponsored by prosperous Dr. C. Warren Smith and Virgin Island representative to the United
States, Wilfrid A. James, and morally backed by Dr. Aaron Peters, British
Guiana inspector on the Pan-American Health Commision. Ramos had hardly
finished speaking to Rivero when Mr. E. K. Johnston grabbed Ramos by the
coat and asked him if such a venture would attract many "paying customers."
Ramos answered in the affirmative and Johnston's co-promoter in Pittsburgh,
James A. Dorsey, promptly pulled out a long contract.
Finally the field was cleared and the now impatient players lined up for
the second half. On the first play, Referee Lee penalized Lincoln for holding
and when Lincoln assistant coach, Robert Engs, rushed out on the field to
object, Lee marched off fifteen more yards. Then it looked like an occurrence
similar to the memorable Lincoln-Howard game of 1940, for G. Hervey
Jenkins, Oscar Glass, and Robert Hyde, all recognized and esteemed officials
in their own right, rushed from the stands onto the field. But Lieutenant Harris
and Wallace Hobson and their efficient corps of "muscle men" pushed the
triumvirate back into the stands. Just before play was resumed, Lee warned
Associated Press photographer, Ernest Green, to keep off the playing field.
Lincoln held doggedly to its six point lead throughout the game and on
the last play of the game a Howard player lay prostrated on the ground.
A general call for physicians was sent over the microphone. John Sample,
R. Edison Walden, and E. J. Brown answered the call. The three medicos went
into conference and Dr. Brown announced superficially, "It looks like a case
of a serious fracture of the femur in the proximity of the acetabulum with
minor complications in the abdominal cavity; off-hand, I'd say this man needs
a doctor." Here, Dr. Oswald Warrington Hoffler projected his elongated form
into the circle, slowly shook his head, and took his leave. He was followed
by Dr. Percy Batipps who had managed to observe the case superficially
but offered no comment. It was left to the efficient specialist, Dr. Theodore
Edward Bolden, to closely scrutinize the prostrated figure and say softly,
"It's all right, old man, one can't expect to win at all and sundry times."
Whereupon the blue and white clad lad arose and, after thanking Bolden
for his medical aid, he ran hastily to join his comrades.
—And slowly the fans made their w a y to the stadium exits. I. N. Perry,
Urban sociological research expert, was standing business-like at one of
the exits. He had extracted a pad from the depths of his bearskin coat and
was rapidly taking down notes on the gestures, conversations, and general
mien of those who pushed passed him. When the last spectator had, at last,
drifted from the field and another Lincoln-Howard classic had gone into the
archives, overalled James Baker laboringly completed the final rite of closing
the huge gates at the stadium entrances.
