Its programs serve a student body that is coeducational as well as racially, ethnically and religiously diverse. With a strong orientation toward disciplines which highlight the relationship between education and work force preparation in the sciences, professions and technical areas, Tuskegee University also emphasizes the importance of the liberal arts as a foundation for successful careers in all areas. Accordingly, all academic majors stress the mastery of a required core of liberal arts courses. Tuskegee University is located in Tuskegee, Ala., which is 40 miles east of the Alabama State Capitol in Montgomery and is within easy driving distance to the cities of Birmingham, Ala., and Atlanta, Ga. The academic programs are organized into six Colleges/Schools: (1) College of Agricultural, Environmental and Natural Sciences; (2) School of Architecture and Construction Science; (3) College of Business and Information Science; (4) College of Engineering and Physical Sciences; (5) College of Liberal Arts and Education; and (6) College of Veterinary Medicine, Nursing and Allied Health. The curricula for the six colleges currently offer 49 degrees, including 35 bachelors, 12 masters, a Doctor of Philosophy in Materials Science and Engineering, Doctor of Philosophy in Integrative Biosciences, and the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. Graduate instruction leading to the master’s degree and Doctor of Philosophy Degree is offered in three of the five colleges. The University is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. The following programs are accredited by their respective professional bodies: business, education, engineering, clinical laboratory sciences, nursing, occupational therapy, social work and veterinary medicine. Of special note is the fact that Tuskegee University is the only independent, historically black university with four engineering programs that are nationally accredited by the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET), the major accrediting body for the engineering sciences. Also, Tuskegee University’s chemistry program is one of few Historically Black Colleges and Universities that is approved by the American Chemical Society. The Dietetics Program is approved by the American Dietetic Association and the Food Science Program is approved by the Institute of Food Technologists. Tuskegee University was the first black college to be designated as a Registered National Historic Landmark (April 2, 1966), and the only black college to be designated a National Historic Site (October 26, 1974), including units of the district that are administered by the National Park Service of the U. S. Department of Interior. Special features in Tuskegee University’s program include: the 4 General Daniel “Chappie” James Center for Aerospace Science and Health Education, honoring America’s first black four-star general who was a Tuskegee University graduate, and housing the nation’s only aerospace science engineering program at an HBCU; media center in the School of Veterinary Medicine, with the state-ofthe-art video up-link and down-link, intra-school communications, audio/ visual, graphics, photography and document production; Kellogg Hotel and Conference Center, a state-of-the-art hotel and meeting facility for educational, business and cultural events; Tuskegee University National Center for Bioethics in Research and Health Care, a distinctive research, teaching, and outreach program that addresses issues of ethics and public policy in the treatment of people of color and rural Americans in health care. Other special features which enhance the educational and cultural environment of the University include: the Booker T. Washington Monument, “Lifting the Veil,” which honors the University’s founder; George Washington Carver Museum, which preserves the tools and handiwork of the distinguished scientist who worked at Tuskegee; Tuskegee Archives, a chief center for information on the challenges, culture and history of black Americans since 1896; Tuskegee Airmen’s Plaza, commemorating the historic feats of America’s first black pilots, who were trained at Tuskegee University; Reserve Officers Training Corps Center; and Center for Continuing Education, a nucleus for continuing adult education. Over the past 129 years since it was founded by Booker T. Washington in 1881, Tuskegee University has become one of our nation’s most outstanding institutions of higher learning. While it focuses on helping to develop human resources primarily within the African-American community, it is open to all. Tuskegee’s mission has always been excellence in knowledge and service to people — not education for its own sake. Stressing the need to educate the whole person — the hand and heart, as well as the mind — Washington’s school was soon acclaimed, first by Alabama and then by the nation, for the soundness and vigor of its educational programs and principles. The solid strength has continued through subsequent administration of Dr. Robert R. Moton (1915-1935), Dr. Frederick D. Patterson (1935-1953), Dr. Luther H. Foster (19531981) and Dr. Benjamin F. Payton (1981-2010). On Nov. 1, 2010, Dr. Gilbert L. Rochon assumed the role as the sixth President of the University. He will continue the legacy of his predecessors and ensure that Tuskegee advances into a premier, globally recognized research university. Tuskegee enrolls more than 3,000 students and employs approximately 900 faculty and support personnel. Physical facilities include more than 5,000 acres of forestry and a campus on which sit more than 100 major buildings and structures. Total land, forestry and facilities are valued in excess of $500 million. THE NATION’S WINNINGEST HBCU FOOTBALL TEAM www.tuskegee.edu/athletics PRESIDENT DR. GILBERT L. ROCHON D r.

At the tender age of 25 years (1906), the Tuskegee Institute could boast of a well-organized band of 35 pieces and an 18-piece orchestra. Organizationally, the band was part of the Military Department, an administrative arrangement of several years’ duration. Captain Elbert V. Williams was bandmaster then and Captain N. Emerson Perkins succeeded him. George B. Thornton served as acting bandmaster, on a part-time basis, during 1914-15, after which Captain Frank L. Drye was appointed bandmaster of the 45-member Tuskegee Institute Band. In 1931, the school of Music was established under the directorship of William L. Dawson. The band became a component of the newly formed department. The 1940’s found the School of Music to be the Department of Music, still headed by William L. Dawson. Captain Drye held the title of Head, Band Instruments, and Director of Bands. The band, then, consisted of seventy-five pieces including drum majors, juvenile drum majors, majorettes and herald trumpeters. Subsequent directors of the Tuskegee Marching Band have been Dr. William P. Foster (Director of Bands [Emeritus] at Florida A&M University), Dr. Lucius R. Wyatt (former Director of Bands at Prairie View A&M University), Edward Graves (Director of Bands at Tennessee State University), and Ronald J. Sarjeant (retired Director of Bands at South Carolina State University). The Tuskegee University Band is now under the direction of Warren L. Duncan, a native of Jacksonville, Fla.

Clark Smith Tuskegee, thou pride of the swift growing South, We pay thee our homage today, For the worth of thy teaching, the joy of thy care; And the good we have known ‘neath thy sway. Oh, long-striving mother of diligent sons. And of daughters, whose strength is their pride We will love thee forever, and ever shall walk Thro’ the oncoming years at thy side. Thy hand we have held up the difficult steeps, When painful and slow was the pace, And onward and upward we’ve labored with thee For the glory of God and our race The fields smile to greet us, the forests are glad, The ring of the anvil and hoe Have a music as thrilling and sweet as a harp Which thou taught us to hear and to know. Oh, mother Tuskegee, thou shinest today as a gem in the fairest of lands; Thou gavest the heav’n-blessed power to see The worth of our minds and our hands. We thank thee, we bless thee, we pray for thee years Imploring with grateful accord, Full fruit for thy striving, time longer to strive, Sweet love and true labor’s reward. by Paul Lawrence Dunbar THE NATION’S WINNINGEST HBCU FOOTBALL TEAM www.tuskegee.edu/athletics 17 Golden Tiger TEAM INFORMATION 18 THE NATION’S WINNINGEST HBCU FOOTBALL TEAM www.tuskegee.edu/athletics 2011 TUSKEGEE QUICK FACTS “America’s Winningest Team Among Historically Black Colleges & Universities” GENERAL School: Tuskegee University University Web Site: www.tuskegee.edu Location: Tuskegee, Alabama 36088 Founded: 1881 By Booker Taliaferro Washington Enrollment: 3,130 Colors: Old Gold & Crimson Nickname: Golden Tigers Stadium: Cleve L.

The Golden Tigers have won eight conference titles and averaged nearly ten wins per season for the last 13 years. Moreover, Willie Slater is 51-7 over the last five years for an astonishing .879 winning percentage. Slater must replace eleven starters, including six on defense. The Offense With six starters returning on offense, the Golden Tigers will be lead by the Williams Boys – senior wide receiver Wayne and junior quarterback Jeremy. Wayne caught 24 passes for 398 yards last year, while Jeremy completed 8-of-20 20 Wide Receiver Philander Browder Offensive Lineman Ryan Jackson passes for 156 yards and 2 touchdowns. Williams, an all-conference baseball selection in 2011, rushed for 73 yards on 11 carries. Throwing to Philander Browder (5-11, 187), Brandon Moton (6-0, 188), Mark Hughes (5-8, 140), Bentavious Miller (6-1, 200), Larry Cobb (6-3, 180), Michael Robinson (6-1, 213), Emil Blackmon (6-5, 206) and Thomas Wilder (5-10, 160) should give Williams and sophomore Terry Bradden some big targets. Browder grabbed 10 passes for 189 yards and three touchdowns. In addition, incoming freshmen Justin Nared (6-1, 195) and Charles Drinkard (6-2, 185) may figure in the mix. 304) and Charlie Craige (6-5, 269). Add veteran Darold Whitfield (6-2, 276) to the mix, you got a solid offensive front. The offensive line should be much improved with the center being the only loss. Right guard Darius Graham, who started at center while Michael Stevens was injured, could move into that spot. Experienced returnees include Ryan Jackson (6-0, 301), Phillip Spear (6-1, When freshman offensive lineman Jovan Bennett arrives in August, Tuskegee may be the only college football team in the nation with three brothers on its football roster – Trier (junior), Aaron (sophomore) and Javon (freshman). Running backs are plentiful, with Terrell Corbitt and David Ray at the forefront. Terrell Edwards-Maye (6-2, 220) could start and 6-foot-3 Michael Thornton brings strong credentials from high school. The Golden Tigers claim two veteran tight ends, Miles Robinson (6-1, 278) and Stephen Clements (6-0, 235), but the fullback position is more unsettled. THE NATION’S WINNINGEST HBCU FOOTBALL TEAM www.tuskegee.edu/athletics 2011 TUSKEGEE FOOTBALL PREVIEW The Defense Coach Slater will have to replace six starters on defense, but he returns numerous other defensive players with valuable playing time. The defensive line retains end Jeremy Brown (6-7, 274) and tackle Trier Bennett (6-2, 314). Christopher Williams, Aaron Bennett, and Adontavius Turner are set to fill the defensive line positions left vacant with the departure of Darian Barnes, Malcolm Crutchfield and Danny Anderson. Senior linebacker Isaiah Person (5-10, 236), who led the team in total tackles (78) in 2010, was named to the All-SIAC second team. Allen Singleton (6-4, 211) and Derrick Minor (5-11, 214) will be seniors; therefore, look for them to man the linebacking positions with Person. Two freshman all-state linebackers will arrive in August. Expect strong safety William Buford and cornerback Kenneth Baker to be mainstays in the secondary. Buford, who plays for the Golden Tigers’ baseball team, broke up three passes and had 32 stops in 2010. Baker had four interceptions for 140 yards and led the team with five breakups. Secondary help is expected from cornerbacks Adam Lucas and Kevin Phinazee. DEFENSIVE BACK Kenneth Baker Special Teams Sophomore punter Gene Stewart Moody averaged 38.9 yards per punt and junior place-kicker Eduardo Murillo converted 32-of 36 extra points and booted 4-of-5 field goals. Mark Hughes and Wayne Williams are set to return punts and kickoffs. Hughes returned 10 punts for 114 yards and Williams four for 36 yards. On kickoffs, Williams had six for 149 yards. Punter Gene Stewart Moody The Schedule Opening with two of its first three games at home sets the table for another fast start for the Golden Tigers. In the 7-game SIAC slate, Benedict and Albany State are absent. After having six home games last season, TU plays just four this year. Games with Langston and Alabama A&M resume.

Thanksgiving Day 2009 the 88th Annual Turkey Day Classic kicks off at the 21,800-seat Cramton Bowl, pitting the Tuskegee University Golden Tigers against long-standing classic archrivals, the Alabama State University Hornets. When it first started, about 8,000 fans attended the Classic. Recently, it has drawn crowds of up to 30,000. Tuskegee and Alabama State played each other in the first game as well as 78 other games to follow. Two Montgomery businesspersons, Cliff Green and Fred Cramton, started this annual meeting between Tuskegee and Alabama State. At that time, Green ran May and Green Athletic Equipment on South Court Street. Cramton, a homebuilder and local lumberyard owner, was a close friend of Green. The two avid sports fans were instrumental in organizing the nation’s oldest Black College Football Classic. It is of no minor significance that these two were white. During this emotional, racially charged time, this significant event transcended deeply rooted social attitudes that were reflected in racial discrimination. The game also serves as Alabama State’s homecoming. Each year, the Classic represents a major social as well as athletic event. Fans of Tuskegee and alumni and friends of Alabama State gather for the Turkey Day Classic parade, game, reunions and parties associated with the annual event. The event has also come to be known as a fashion parade for the people who attend. Tuskegee and Alabama State have played each other 82 times since 1924 in the Turkey Day Classic and have met 97 times overall since 1901. Tuskegee leads the Turkey Day Classic series 48-31-3 and the overall series 60-33-4. Alabama State has played four other schools in the Classic series: Mississippi Valley State, 1971; Clark Atlanta, 1986; Johnson C. Smith, 1987 and 1991; and Fayetteville State, 1992. 52 THE NATION’S WINNINGEST HBCU FOOTBALL TEAM www.tuskegee.edu/athletics FOOTBALL SCORES VS. 2011 OPPONENTS TUSKEGEE vs. STILLMAN (TU leads series 6-0-0) YEAR 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 TU 32 24 35 42 41 41 SC 20 6 7 7 14 15 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 * 2007 2008 2009 2010 30 13 21 23 26 11 59 36 20 40 34 16 51 15 7 13 12 16 43 14 7 31 6 0 23 0 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2008 2009 19 7 15 14 0 34 15 6 21 26 7 54 24 35 * Forfeit * TU won by forfeit TUSKEGEE vs. MILES (TU leads series 43-12-1) YEAR 1929 1955 1956 1957 1958 1959 1960 1961 1962 1963 1964 1965 1966 1967 1968 1969 1970 1971 1972 1973 1974 1975 1976 1977 1978 1980 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1977 1997 TU 39 13 12 0 7 33 6 12 0 43 12 39 12 28 8 29 21 21 41 27 51 28 33 13 35 26 20 25 31 7 39 35 41 7 60 55 40 60 26 36 37 13 17 MC 0 0 13 18 14 14 18 26 13 38 12 6 29 0 6 9 6 0 8 6 6 6 19 7 9 0 8 7 7 24 7 6 6 2 0 7 6 8 0 37 36 7 20 TUSKEGEE vs. Alabama A&M (Alabama A&M leads series 23-20-3) YEAR 1932 1952 1953 1954 1955 1957 1958 1963 1964 1965 1966 1967 1968 1969 1970 1971 1972 1973 1974 1975 1976 1977 1978 1979 1980 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 TU 7 6 6 0 0 28 18 20 7 0 19 8 12 20 24 16 7 48 60 26 35 23 14 8 22 0 13 6 14 21 23 7 9 0 43 43 14 18 22 AAMU 0 6 2 20 0 12 6 28 6 12 30 8 14 41 12 28 28 19 6 16 25 21 18 19 20 3 7 31 20 35 6 10 * 19 49 44 20 26 36 39 TUSKEGEE vs. MOREHOUSE (TU leads the overall series 66-27-7 and the classic series 51-19-5) YEAR 1902 1904 1906 1908 1909 1910 1911 1912 1913 1914 1915 1916 1917 1919 1922 1923 1924 1925 1926 1927 1928 1930 1931 1932 1933 1936 1937 1938 1939 1940 1941 1942 1943 1944 1945 1946 1947 1948 1949 1950 1951 1952 1953 TU 5 5 6 0 W 0 6 3 0 7 6 0 19 0 0 0 10 27 28 14 20 19 31 13 26 6 0 6 0 18 20 19 12 40 19 15 31 14 26 0 10 59 12 MH 0 0 18 17 L 5 0 12 0 13 6 23 6 1 40 6 0 6 6 0 0 6 12 6 6 7 0 6 18 0 7 0 6 19 0 0 7 22 6 0 0 7 32 THE NATION’S WINNINGEST HBCU FOOTBALL TEAM www.tuskegee.edu/athletics 1954 1955 1956 1957 1958 1959 1960 1961 1962 1963 1964 1965 1966 1967 1968 1969 1970 1971 1972 1973 1974 1975 1976 1977 1978 1979 1980 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 7 6 39 34 18 0 6 20 8 25 6 41 93 21 14 6 14 14 7 29 48 22 28 27 25 43 33 22 15 7 6 3 24 27 9 27 47 9 9 23 27 6 14 29 27 9 28 3 19 13 56 34 55 33 42 30 31 6 6 12 6 6 6 13 8 18 12 0 0 0 14 12 25 12 19 16 0 14 6 21 25 6 7 23 13 21 12 26 3 20 6 8 14 7 14 12 28 13 19 0 26 20 6 14 14 14 16 (OT) 8 24 20 10 27 16 15 53 FOOTBALL SCORES VS. 2011 OPPONENTS The Tuskegee-Morehouse football rivalry began in 1902 and has continued each year with the exception of the following years: 1903, 1905, 1907, 1918, 1920, 1921, 1929, 1934 and 1935.

On December 30, 1913, representatives of the following institutions met at Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia to consider the regulations of intercollegiate athletics among the Black colleges in the southeast: Alabama State University, Clark Atlanta University, Morehouse College, Morris Brown College, Talladega College and Tuskegee University. The representatives formed a permanent organization (The Southeastern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference) which has had a continuous history to the present. In 1929, they changed the name of this organization to The Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. In 1929, the Conference experienced its first break in membership. Five institutions (Talladega, Fisk, Morehouse, Knoxville, and Atlanta University) withdrew and formed the Collegiate Athletic Conference. On December 13-14, 1929, the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and the Collegiate Athletic Conference mutually agreed to reunite and form the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference SIAC. Two institutions have held continuous membership in the conference: Clark Atlanta and Tuskegee. Other institutions, which have at one time or another been members, are: •Alabama A&M University (1947-1997) •Alabama State University (1913-1975) •Allen University •Bethune-Cookman Univ. (1950-1979) •Edward Waters College •Fisk University •Florida A&M University (1926-1978) •Jackson State University •Morris Brown College (1913-1999) •Savannah State University (1969-1999) •So. Carolina St. University (1939-1970) •Talladega College (1913•Tennessee State University (1926-1939) •Xavier University The SIAC is a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and participates at the Division II level. On an annual basis, the SIAC sponsors six men’s championships (cross country, football, basketball, tennis, outdoor track and field and baseball) and six women’s championships (cross country, volleyball, basketball, softball, tennis and outdoor track and field).

He was one of the seven children born to his parents, Mollie Brown and Elbert B. Abbott. He graduated from the Watertown High School and South Dakota State at Brookings, South Dakota, from which he received the Bachelor of Science degree in 1916. He did graduate work at Kansas State, Manhattan, Kansas and Harvard University. As an athlete, Abbott had an enviable record. He won 16 letters while in high school and 14 letters in college. He was captain of the South Dakota State basketball team; an anchorman on the relay team, an all-state center for four consecutive years and one year was selected as an AllNorthwestern center. While representing South Dakota State at the Drake Relays, Des Moines, Iowa, he met Jessie Scott, who later became his wife. He began work at Tuskegee University in the fall of 1916 as an agricultural chemist and assistant athletic coach, having been assured of employment by Dr. Booker T. Washington a year before his graduation. In 1917, Abbott entered the Officers Training Camp at Fort Des Moines, Iowa. Upon completion of the course, he was assigned as Commanding Officer of Company A at Camp Dodge, Iowa. He also performed the duties of regimental athletic officer. He later served with the American Expeditionary Forces in France as Intelligence Officer, 366th Infantry of the 92nd Division. At the close of World War 1, he joined the faculty of Kansas Vocational School, Topeka, Kansas, where he served as coach and commandant of Cadets. Upon the invitation of Dr. Robert R. Moton, then President of Tuskegee University, Abbott returned to Tuskegee to become Director of the Department of Physical Education and Athletics and Head Football Coach, positions which he filled with distinction up to the time of his death.

ABBOTT: HEAD COACH (1923-1954) won 14 national team outdoor titles, including eight in a row. Tuskegee athletes won 49 indoor and outdoor individual titles and a half dozen were on Olympic teams. Members of the Tuskegee Women’s Track and Field Team (Alice Coachman, Mabel Walker, Theresa Manual) were selected to represent the United States at the 1948 Olympics held in London, England. Alice Coachman was the first African American woman to win a gold medal in the Olympics. She was the only American woman to win a gold medal in the 1948 games. Mary McNabb represented the United States at the 1952 Olympics held in Helsinki, Finland. Mildred McDaniel and Nell Jackson were on the 1956 U. S. Olympics Team.

Three of his former track athletes preceded him into the National Track Hall of Fame- Alice Coachman, Mildred McDaniel and Nell Jackson. Abbott was named the American Football Coaches Association’s winner of the 2005 Trailblazer Award. In recognition of his outstanding contributions to athletics at Tuskegee, University officials renamed Alumni Bowl- Cleve L. Abbott Memorial Alumni Stadium in 1996. Abbott passed away on April 16, 1955 and is buried in the Tuskegee University Cemetery. Representatives of the Tuskegee Women’s Track and Field teams also participated in the Pan-American Games at Buenos Aires in 1951 and in the Pan-American Games in Mexico City in March of that year. Many other Abbotttrained athletes have broken record after record as they have competed in local, national and international competition. Only a complete history of athletics in America can record the many and far-reaching contributions made by Coach Abbott to the growth and development of athletics throughout the nation. The Southern Coaches and Officials, the Annual Tuskegee Relays and the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Basketball Tournament are the results of his efforts. In May 1951, Abbott received a key and a Certificate of Appreciation from Tuskegee University for having completed more than 25 years of service at the University. The same month a group of athletic directors, coaches and friends gave Abbott a special award at the 25th running of the Tuskegee Relays. In November 1954, South Dakota State, his alma mater, gave him a special citation, and he has received many other honors and citations for his outstanding contributions to athletics in America. Abbott was enshrined into the Tuskegee Hall of Fame in 96 THE NATION’S WINNINGEST HBCU FOOTBALL TEAM www.tuskegee.edu/athletics CLEVELAND l. ABBOTT Memorial Alumni Stadium Ground breaking exercises for Cleve L. Abbott Memorial Alumni Stadium (formerly Alumni Bowl) at Tuskegee University was held on Saturday morning, August 21, 1924. The stadium was the first of its kind to be built at any Black school in the south. It was named Alumni Bowl because of the significant contribution made by alumni for the construction of the facility. Principal speakers at the exercise were R. R. Taylor, acting president of the school; John L. Webb, Supreme Custodian of the Woodmen of Union of Arkansas; and Jesse Thomas, secretary of the National Urban League. The first game was played in Abbott Memorial Alumni Stadium between Tuskegee University and Atlanta University on October 10, 1925. It was Homecoming for Tuskegee and the Golden Tigers defeated the Golden Hurricanes of AU, 20-0. A large crowd from all sections of Alabama and supporters from out of state came to witness the formal dedication of Tuskegee’s new $50,000 stadium. For Tuskegee, the outstanding players were Benjamin Stevenson, Millard Wooten, Ernest T. Bailey and Oscar Tadlock. Additions have been made to the stadium several times. The athletic fieldhouse located at the south end, donated to the University by W. M. Marable Construction Company of Tuskegee, was erected in 1989. Marable, a general contractor, a contributor to the school’s athletic program, reconstructed the press box in the mideighties. The most recent renovation took place in 1991 with the installation of new aluminum seats, a Pepsi Cola scoreboard and 600 stadium-type crimson and gold reserved seats. The six-lane cinder track is to be refurbished in the near future. The present seating capacity of Abbott Memorial Alumni Stadium is 10,000. The stadium is currently under going massive improvements and renovation for the Golden Tigers in 2002. After 71 years of play in the grand old stadium, University officials formerly dedicated the facility by renaming it the Cleve L. Abbott Memorial Alumni Stadium on November 9, 1996 (Homecoming) in honor of legendary Tuskegee football mentor Cleveland Leigh Abbott. Abbott, the most successful coach in the history of Tuskegee football, served as the Golden Tigers’ head coach from 1923-1954, winning 202 games, losing 95 and tying 27 in a 32-year coaching span. THE NATION’S WINNINGEST HBCU FOOTBALL TEAM www.tuskegee.edu/athletics 97 BENJAMIN STEVENSON: ALL-AMERICAN (1927-30) game, came in 1926 at Franklin Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, against Lincoln University, when “do-it-all Steve” scored two touchdowns, kicked two extra points and booted two field goals before 35,000 fans. Eastern sportswriters said the true score was “Stevenson 20, Lincoln 16.” He was told before the game that “Red” Grange, the thunder of the University of Illinois, was in the stands. Upon hearing this, Stevenson went to work and tried his best to emulate the famous red head. Grange, sitting in the stands, with several of his teammates, was thrilled by the game. Stevenson’s long runs gave Grange memories of his own sprints, made in the walls of the Red and Blue Bowl. For his superb play, Stevenson was selected on All-American teams for four years - 1923-26 as a high school player playing with the Golden Tigers and earned All-America honors as a collegiate player for four years from 1927-30. Joined with him in the backfield, at Tuskegee at that time were Paul Smith (QB), Millard Wooten (FB), Ernest T. Bailey (FB) and William E. Stewart (RB), under the leadership and inspiration of Coach Cleve Abbott and with a stout line of Ike Robinson (LE), Ashton Kitchen (OT), Earl Ellis (OG), Oscar Tadlock (C), Ivory Smith (OG), Cornelius Robinson (OT) and Owen J. Duncan (RE). During this period Tuskegee won seven Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and six national championships, including a 46-game winning streak from 1923-1928. O ne of the game’s great early players whose longevity spurred the ruling that now limits a player’s eligibility to only four years, Benjamin “Big Ben” Stevenson played many positions supremely and is regarded by many as the Tuskegee’s finest player ever. Selected to seven consecutive Black College All-America teams by the Pittsburgh Courier, Stevenson led the Golden Tigers to instant success. In 1924, he led the team to a 9-0 record and the school’s first Black National Championship. In 1925, Tuskegee outscored their opponents 224-6 for their second straight perfect season and another national title. In all, Stevenson led the school to six Black National Championships and a remarkable 69-2-9 record in eight seasons. An all-round athlete, Stevenson led the team and the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference in rushing, scoring, kicking and interceptions from 1923-30. A talented runner, he broke off 42 runs in his career of 50 yards or more. Equally dangerous in the defensive backfield, Stevenson snatched 39 career interceptions. Tuskegee dedicated its homecoming game in 1967 to one of its brightest stars and favorite sons, Ben Stevenson. The University, at the game, presented him some special awards during the pregame and at halftime. Stevenson was inducted into the Tuskegee Athletic Hall of Fame in 1974. He was inducted the College Football Hall of Fame on August 9, 2003 in South Bend, Ind., the first Tuskegee football athlete to receive such honor. Stevenson was enshrined into the inaugural class of the Black College Football Hall of Fame in 2010. Following his graduation in 1931 (B.S. in agriculture), Stevenson earned his Master’s degree at Tuskegee in guidance and counseling before beginning a coaching career. For two seasons, he coached football, track and baseball at Tuskegee before moving on to coach the same at Booker T. Washington High School in Houston, TX for 17 additional years. The triple-threat player was born on March 20, 1906 in Smith Mills, Missouri. He died on November 11, 1969 in Houston, Texas. 48 Elusive speed, spectacular kicking and excellent defensive play made Benjamin Stevenson, a Liberty, Missouri product, Tuskegee’s all-time football great. He was a triple-threat player with football acumen of the rarest sort. Thousands of football fans were thrilled in the 1920’s as Stevenson dazzled the opposition with broken-field runs of 90, 85, 70 and 60 yards against such grid powers as Lincoln University of Pennsylvania, Atlanta University and Southern University. Also, Clark Atlanta University and Alabama State University witnessed some of Stevenson’s great performances. However, his greatest day, in a crucial 98 Photo:The four “Horsemen” of Tuskegee.
