Nashville Globe

FOOTBALL SPECIAL NASHVILLE GLOBE. VOL. VI. L. N. BASS. Center and Captain Meharry Team. Bass is the best center Nashville has ever seen and ranks among the best in the country. He has never gone to any other school and has always been a true, tried warrior of the Crimson and Black. MR. S. S. RANSOM, Coach Meharry Team. Mr. Ransom is one of the best coaches that has ever been South and can always be relied upon to turn out a football team. MY GIRL AT THE GAME. A Willow and Fisk's colors go hand in hand. * * * * A hobble on, and yet yells for Meharry. * * * * There are some great writers, thinkers, fumblers and monkeys, but wasn't that a good game? South Nashville is so very selfish. * * * If the young girls will not take the lead, let them get out of the way; there are a number of widows who are crying for a chance. 1910 All-Southern quarter for 1910, the field general of them all. He is a very dangerous man at all times, he can buck the line, run ends, place and drop kick, throw the ball and, in fact, do anything in the football line well. FISK 11 MEHARRY 8 A GREAT BATTLE In one of the greatest games ever played between the teams Meharry and Fisk was battled to-day for the verdict. The weather was ideal for the players. The field was a bit treacherous and yet the game was one of the fastest battles waged by these ancient rivals. Each team brought out the best they had in the shop and long before time was called for play one could see that it was going to be a battle royal. The Fisk supporters were jubilant over the splendid showing of their team and were loud in their praise of the work done by them this season. They figured that with an equal break in the luck the old Gold and Blue would be returned a sure winner. On dope Fisk had the call and the wonderful playing of the 1914 THE FISK FOOTBALL SQUAD. team goes to show that they have lived up to the dope at least in part. Meharry, on the other hand, came down to the dell from her South Nashville home filled with that old spirit of conquest. She was thinking only of the game and what a victory must mean. Each man was filled with that Spartan spirit of do or die, and playing a desperate game from the first call she is sending thrill after thrill through the heart of friend and foe. H. D. CANNADY. Manager of Meharry Athletic Association and Left Tackle on the Team. Strange as it may seem, yet it is true that all Fisk teams have been noted for their ability at end runs. The team to-day demonstrated beyond a doubt that they have few equals and no superior at that style of play. Kendal, in breaking away for his long and spectacular end runs, would bring the stands to their feet. There is no denying the fact that Fisk is playing one of the greatest games ever seen here. LE. TENN., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1911 Loy G. Brown Chick Lewis is keeping the whole Meharry team on the watch for his long twisting spiral which he sent long and far into the field. The whole Meharry backfield is playing a wonderful game. The Me- harry team is palying the famous Minnesota shift and for a few moments swept everything before them. Fisk did not seem able to stop them. But after a few words from Capt. Kindle things began to look different, and the Fisk line is now holding like true and tried veterans. To say that the game was a good one is putting it too mild. It should be called a corker—one of the greatest seen here this season; one in which one sees all kinds of new and old football. The game was replete with sensational stunts, long runs, forward passes, line plunging and good kicking. In fact, to have missed this game you would have lost something you could never have regained. The playing of big chief Cochran was also a splendid demonstration of the modern game, and the manner in which he worked must bring comment from all. Bass also played a wonderful game at center, as well as did Brown, Canada and Zuber. In all the game must be considered one of the best ever seen at Athletic Park. LINE UP. Meharry Positions.

He is without doubt the fastest man on the team. He is a past master at sidestepping, runs hard and low and slips away from a would-be tackler like an eel. He will bear watching at all times. He is noted for his long runs around the ends and is liable to get away at any moment. He did splendid work today. L. E. WELKER, Coach, Fisk. Dr. L. E. Welker, Coach, Fisk, comes from Harvard, where he made good as a player. He has had years of experience as a coach and shows it by the team he has developed at Fisk this season. 1914 LEWIS, Fisk Quarterback. The best punter that has ever been seen in action in these parts. He kicks a long spiral that is difficult to handle. He also runs his team well, is himself a very fast man. He holds several medals for his work on the track and is an all round athlete. [Name not visible] THE MEHARRY CONCERT BAND, J. S. Scott. Director. The Meharry Band, organized in 1906 by Drs. C. B. Johnson and E. W. Bates, is composed of the musicians who come to Meharry to pursue professional courses. It has been encouraged and supported by those in authority, and is now a permanent organization of the school. The band furnishes music on concert occasions and church entertainments, inspires the Meharry football team on to victory and enlivens the entire section of the city in which SITY, NASHVILLE, TENN.

Nelson, formerly of this city but now of Chicago, has written a very beautiful waltz song entitled "Each Star Tells My Love for You," which bids fair to become one of the popular hits of the season. There are a great many "moon songs," but this is about the best, if not the first, of "star songs" now on the market. The idea is entirely new, the melody is haunting and catchy, and the lyrics—well, look at the chorus and judge for yourself: Chorus: All the stars above you, dear, up there amid the blue, 1914 SUBLETTE Is the last of the famous Sublette boys, Walker, Wilbur, Oscar, and last but by no means least, Jesse. They all have served their terms on the team and all have made good. Nod their heads to prove to you, my love for you is true; Tell me that you b'lieve it, dear, and that you love me, too. You surely cannot doubt me when each star tells my love for you. Copyright 1911, by P. W. Nelson, Chicago, Ill. Some chorus, eh? The verse is just as good. And say! the melody is contagious. Write to-day for a copy of this great song. Sent postpaid for 25c, by the author, 451 Oakwood Boulevard, Chicago. 1911 B. T. WASHINGTON, Jr. Right End, Fisk. Of all the fierce, hard tackling, fast running ends, Washington is without doubt one of the best. He is down under punts like a flash, tackles his man hard and low. He can carry the ball well, is also good at receiving the forward pass. DAYTON NOTES: Mrs. J. L. Lee, who has been very sick with catarrh, is improving from that, but is suffering with her eyes.

COLORED VOTERS OF CHARLESTON ASKED TO TAKE NOTICE The Mountain Leader, usually a very conservative sheet, seems to have had the fur rubbed the wrong way, when the Board of Affairs of the City of Charleston cut the political pie recently. The Leader cites the fact, that out of the long list of appointments, the colored brother only got one and that was that of pound master. The editorials certainly cite in no uncertain terms, that it does not expect to stand for this kind of treatment and promises some drastice Boy Boo @Bob Mr. Richie is a football player of renown having been a member of the famous Lincoln University team for several seasons while, a student of that university. On becoming a student of Meharry he won a position on Meharry's team and has been a credit to himself, his class, his team and good old Meharry. action in the future. It would seem that The Leader has good cause for complaint, if the facts are as stated in the editorial and doubtless they are. We over this way are peaceful and calm and have little if anything about which to complain. We not only get what we ask for but we can truthfully say we get recognition without asking. It is a foregone conclusion, in a political way that the colored boys on this side of the mountain will be taken care of, when it comes to the conservation of rights. As to jobs, we never, as a rule, ask for any, for, most any fellow over here, the fellow in the mine, at the oven door, the business man as well as the professional man would consider it a sacrifice to accept a position at a few dollars per month when he can earn half, if not twice that much more. While this is true of us, we are not clanish and are in hearty sympathy with the other fellow when his rights are abridged or curtailed.—McDowell Times. Phone Main 2298 A. S.
