Talk then switched around the football. "You know Roulhac continued," my hardest football battles were against an Atlanta school. Morehouse gave us our toughest competition.
You know Morehouse beat us in 1936 by a 14-7 score when we had one of our greatest teams at LeMoyne. The next year (1937) we beat Morehouse 27-2 in Memphis, Tenn. They had Leroy "Roughhouse" Haynes, All-American end, and we just weren't able to stop him.
Chatting merrily about football, Roulhac stated: "I guess everybody remembers George "Bubber" Mitchell's intercepted pass that won for Morehouse in 1933. Football is a funny game . . . we worried about beating everybody that year but Morehouse . . . they just got our goat."
Roulhac wanted to talk about a 22-0 victory over Alabama State back in the Golden era of SIAC football, but the huge Silver Bird started warming up. A few minutes later the giant bird was just a dot in the sky . . . and then out of sight.
