FRIDAY - SATURDAY
Tuskegee Institute, All.—Sitting
In the shade of * cool front porch,
in th« quiet of a summer evening
Coach Abbott, so familiarly called
the "Major," and the "Duke," by
hundreds of fighting lads who have
come to bask in the shade of his
gridiron knowledge and learning, on
laat Tuesday, did a bit of reminis-
cing, which carried us both back
to the time when he graduated from
the Watertown high ic/iool, way
out in faraway South Dakota, at
Yankton, which, by the way, is fa-
mous for producing national cham-
pionship basketball teams in high
achool circles, and up to the pres-
ent day, when he is regarded as
the most famous of all the excellent
teaches the player something, es-
pecially self control, and the abil-
ity to think for themselves. And
he believes that Tuskegee has turn-
ed out some fine men—don't we all.
Standing behind all la the spirit
of fight which seems to pervade all
his teams and with the ever-present
thought of the record out of the
past, it seems to the coach that his
boys aim at the record, and this
makes them fight harder. ."I'll
leave opinion on that to you . . .
about Tuskegee football teams,
The author of this article went
out to see the Indians perform
against the Houston Buffs, and
saw the game called during the
sixth inning Wednesday at 2 and
2. Brewer's attempts at bat were
pitiful. Without doubt he is a great
fielding first baseman but at bat
he needs a plank instead of a bat.
Although he is good at laying the
ball down and that's all. It seems
that the Indians have lost their
punch. We need to sew up a
aeries.

on their own plays.
Coach Abbott's biggest thrill
came twice, once in 1929, when
Bluefield was playing. In this
game Stevenson place-kicked suc-
cessfully in the last three minutes
of play to keep Duke from drop-
ping dead, and again in 1926 when
Lincoln had played them off their
feet in the first half and demoral-
ized the whole Tuskegee squad,

those years might not be such
pleasant memories now in the cool
of the quiet evening, but, anyway,
the years before the World war,
found "Duke" Abbott installed at
Tuakegee institute, as a teacher of
Agriculture, and Agricultural
Chemistry, and also helping with
athletics. Then came 1916-17, and
the "Duke" did hia bit for Uncle
Sam and "democracy," as it was
then called, and in 1919 we find
him once again beneath these state-
ly elms, which decorate the beau-

Anyway, Major Abbott—he's a
real Major, too—took up the rein*
where he had dropped them, and
then started teaching Agricultural
Chemistry as before, and "helping
with athletics"—what a
"helping"!

has given his energy to the devel-

Washington spirit of "do-or-die,"
with emphasis on the "do." After
a bit his Tuskegee teams became
the talk of the country. Out here
In the vastness of quiet and undis-
turbed space the grizzled mentor j and^magnificent uyni
worked to perfect a system which
would make his squads impreg-
nable. And he did. We'll start in
1923.
Back in 1923 Tuskegee started
piling up a record which will no
doubt stand forever, without being
equalled or approached. The Duke
began winning, and victory got to
be one of those things which was
expectcd from Tuskegee teams. And
now listen: to date Tuakegee has
played a total of 90 games, and
out of ninety games, only four
have been lost! Only four! Out
of ninety, and against the kind of
opposition Tuskegee has faced, do
you call that an easy achievement?
1 ask you.
Now let's hear from the "Major"
himself:
"I have always tried to 'de-em-
phasize' football in my teams, and
taught the boys the principles of
true sportsmanship, as best I could.
I have never tried to be a dictator,
and I have never used or allowed
my teams to use signals from the
sidelines (How m/iny coaches can
nay that?) and I have always in-
structed my quarterbacks to use
whatever they think will go." That
is modesty for you. But go on,
Coach: "I have always thought it
best to never 'jump on' a player
who has made a wrong play." Coach
Abbott feels that the game itself

kicks, runs and passes, and
deadly blocker and tackier,

to President of other schools and
colleges. This gymnasium at Tus-
kegee was built over the heads of
the board of trustees, who fought
against the erection. And it was
built becausa Major Robert R. Mo-
ton, the principal of Tuskegee, is
a broadminded and far-seeing in-
dividual, and a true son of sport—
a sportsman. It was Major Moton
who supported Duke Abbott in his
fight to obtain this gymnasium,
just as he stqpd by the Coach in
many other ways.

Coach Abbott attribute the fact
that this wonderful, and fully
equipped building is now standing

tute. Truly a great pair, Coach
