TUSKEGEE UNIVERSITY PROFILE
T
uskegee University is an
independent and state-related
institution of higher education. 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.

W

University on January 17, 2006. Slater
has 33 seasons of coaching experience,
including 28 years at the collegiate level;
18 were as an offensive coordinator.
“Coach Slater is a proven winner who
believes in recruiting hard to find the best
players available and coaching them well.
He knows the importance of teaching
players to be the best they can be
athletically and in life,”said Dr. Benjamin
F. Payton, fifth President of Tuskegee.
“That, coupled with his winning record
and spirit, makes him the top selection to
lead our Golden Tigers football team.”
The Cof feeville, Ala., native has
coached at Temple University, 20042005; Jacksonville State University,
Jacksonville, Ala., 2000-2003; the
University of North Alabama, Florence,
Ala., 1992-1999; the University of West
Alabama, Livingston, Ala., 1991-1992;
and Troy University, Troy, Ala., 19831990. Slater was offensive coordinator
for the 1A Temple Owls of Philadelphia,
Pa., in 2005.
A five-time NCAA Division II National
Assistant Coach of the Year, he has
five Division II national championship
rings. Slater joined the Tuskegee staff
after having served as the offensive
coordinator at Temple under Bill Wallace
in 2005 and Jacksonville State under Jack
Crowe from 2000 to 2003. JSU won the
Ohio Valley Conference title with a 7-1
(8-4 overall) record in 2003. Prior to his
stay with the Gamecocks, he worked as
offensive coordinator at North Alabama
for eight years (1992-1999), including
six seasons under Wallace (1992-1997).
During his stay in Florence, Ala., the
Lions qualified for the NCAA playoffs five
times and won three consecutive national
championships from 1993-95. Slater was
named the Division II National Assistant
Coach of the Year in each of UNA’s title
seasons. In 1993, North Alabama had the
country’s top rushing offense, gaining
317.5 yards per contest.
Slater’s first full-time position at the
collegiate level was at Troy State, where
he served as running backs coach under
Chan Gailey from 1983-84. In total, he
spent eight seasons with Trojans, also
working as quarterbacks and running
backs coach under Rick Rhoades (198587) and offensive coordinator under
Robert Maddox (1988-90). Troy State
went to the playoffs three times during
his tenure and won NCAA championships
in 1984 and 1987. Slater was cited as
the Division II National Assistant Coach
of the Year in both of the team’s title
campaigns.
Slater began his coaching career as
a graduate assistant coach at his alma
mater, West Alabama, in 1978 and
earned a bachelor of science degree
in business education at the university
in 1979. He also coached at the high
school level, first at Jess Lanier High
School in Bessemer, Ala. (1979-1980)
before moving to T.R. Miller High School
in Brewton, Ala. (1981-82). Slater was a
four-year starter at quarterback for West
Alabama, then called Livingston College,
from 1974-77 and helped the Tigers to
a third place finish in the 1975 NCAA
Division II playoffs. He still ranks sixth in
career rushing at the school with 1,582
yards and 20 touchdowns and is ninth
in career total offense with 2,081 yards.
His 90-yard run against Troy State in
1975 still stands as the longest run from
scrimmage.
Slater is a 1974 graduate of Coffeeville
(Ala.) High School, where he was a prep
All-America quarterback and the Class IA
State Most Valuable Player.
During a stellar 28-year career of
working with programs in Divisions I-A,
I-AA and II, Slater has had the pleasure
of coaching numerous players who have
taken those skills to the NFL playing for
teams such as the New England Patriots,
Carolina Panthers, Washington Redskins
and several other teams.
Slater has propelled the Tuskegee
Golden Tigers to a 51-7 record his first
five years (2006, 2010), winning four
SIAC titles and a Black college national
crown (2007, undefeated, 12-0). He
is the first first-year Tuskegee coach to

and the Sheridan Broadcasting Network

TUSKEGEE MARCHING CRIMSON PIPERS
T
he Tuskegee University Marching Crimson Piper Band has enjoyed a long history of excellence. 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. Duncan is a graduate
of Florida A&M University where he earned the Bachelor of Science degree in Music Education in 1971. He received his Master of
Education degree from Auburn University in Alabama. Duncan has been at Tuskegee for over 39 years, the last 35 as Director of Bands.
He also serves as Head of the Department of Fine and Performing Arts, of which the band is a component. Duncan is married to the
former Deidre Yates, a 1971
& ‘72 Tuskegee alumna.
Duncan is assisted by Lyn
Thompson, who coordinates
and chor eographs the
Crimson Piperette dance
line and JeGayde Colvert,
announcer and percussion
section coordinator, Danielle
Dinkins, flag line coordinator,
Tyrone Jackson, dance routine coordinator and Stefan Smith, assistant arranger, all of whom studied at and performed in the bands
of Tuskegee University. Louis (J.R.) Booth serves as the official band photographer/videographer.
The Crimson Piper Band marches over 150 members, including piperettes, flag line and drum majors. For nearly 100 years,
the Marching Crimson Pipers, known for their unique marching style, powerful musical
arrangements, intricate dance steps and quality presentations by the dancing piperettes, flag
line, and soulful drum majors, have performed at Soldier Field, Chicago, IL; Crosley Field,

TUSKEGEE SONG
“THE TUSKEGEE SONG”
Music by N. 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.

Wide Receiver Wayne Williams
At a Glance
Tuskegee (9-2, 7-2 SIAC) will be hungry
to return to prominence after what can
only be considered a down season for

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

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.

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.

2011 GOLDEN TIGER OPPONENTS
A Brief History of the Turkey Day Football Classic
The Turkey Day Classic, the oldest football classic among the nation’s traditionally Black Colleges, dates back to Thanksgiving
Day 1924. 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.

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.
Football started at
Tuskegee University in
1894. Tuskegee’s football
program is the fourth and
the winningest among
historically Black colleges
and universities- 630
wins.
Football started at
Morehouse, then known as
Atlanta Baptist Seminary,
in 1900. In 1908, Atlanta
Baptist College changed
to its present name of
Morehouse College.
The Annual Football
Classic in the 20,000seat Memorial Stadium
between Tuskegee and
Morehouse has become a
CLASSIC event to the City
of Columbus, Georgia.
E. E. Farley, Dr. Thomas
Brewer, Dr. Kid Terry,
Cleveland L. Abbott and
Dr. Frank L. Forbes were
on the committee that
started the CLASSIC in
1936.
In this long series,
there have been many
exciting games. Tuskegee
has won by the largest
margins: 1952, 59-7;
1965, 41-0; 2004, 56-8;
and 1966, 93-0.
In 1940, Arthur Sawyer,
a 140-pound speedster,
ran Morehouse dizzy with
touchdown spurts of 40
and 70 yards, respectively,
as Tuskegee defeated
Morehouse 18-0. Marion
Smiley scored from the
2-yard line.
In the 1944 game,
played before a crowd
of over 15,000 fans,
Tuskegee overpowered
the fighting Morehouse
eleven en route to a 40-19
victory. Fullback Thomas
Hornburger passed the
attack as he scored two
touchdowns and Alex
Brown scored from the
four -yard line. Alva
Tabor and the running of
Thomas Hornburger were
54
outstanding.
In 1955 a new committee
composed of Mr. Gordon H.
Kitchen, Mr. A. J. McClung
and Mr. Carl Haywood took
over the leadership of the
game.
In the 1957 game, Curtis
Horton, a 135-pound
halfback, paced the
Tuskegee Golden Tigers
to a 34-6 victory over
Morehouse before 12,000
chilled fans. Ozzie
Davenport of Tuskegee
recovered a fumble on the
22-yard line. Tuskegee
marched 78 yards to the
nine-yar d line wher e
George Drake scor ed.
Sixteen points were scored
in the third quarter and 12
more were added in the
fourth quarter. Morehouse
scor ed in the last 35
seconds. The passing of
quarterback Dennis Keller,
and the running of Horton,
Drake, Field and Davenport
were outstanding.
The CLASSIC, started
in 1936, has continued
to be played each year
in Columbus, Georgia
(Memorial Stadium), except
for 1974, when it was
played at Cleve Abbott
Memorial Alumni Stadium
in Tuskegee and the Golden
Tigers won 49-14.
The Tuskegee-Morehouse
Football Series is one of
the nation’s oldest running
series in NCAA Division
II. The longest winning
streak in the overall series
was from 1924-1933
where TU was victorious
10 consecutive years as
they were coached by
legendary Tuskegee mentor
Cleveland Leigh Abbott.
Abbott amassed over 200
wins during a 33-year
coaching career. Tuskegee
was also victorious during
the years 1940-1947 (8
years) under Abbott and
1973-1981 (9 years) under
Haywood Scissum. The
longest winning streak
by Morehouse was three
games during five different
periods. Thirty shutouts
have been recorded, 18
by Tuskegee and 12 by
Morehouse.
Today, the contest averages
over 20,000 spectators per
game.
TU leads the overall
series 66-27-7 and 51-195 in the Memorial Stadium
Classic in Columbus through
2010.

GREGORY MOORE
The Southern Intercollegiate
Athletic Conference (SIAC) was
founded in 1913, and today, 89
years later, the conference flies
high above the rest as one of the
most viable forces in intercollegiate
athletics among the nation’s
collegiate systems.
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).

CLEVELAND LEIGH ABBOTT
HEAD COACH (1923-1954)
leveland Leigh Abbott was born in Yankton,
South Dakota on December 9, 1894. 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.
His football team won 12 Southern Intercollegiate
Athletic Conference championships and six
mythical national championships. His women’s
track teams won the National Amateur Athletic
Union (AAU) indoor and outdoor championships
consistently from 1937 through 1950. They

CLEVELAND L. 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. McDaniel repeated
Coachman’s 1948 Olympic feat with a worldrecord clearance in the 1956 games.
1975, the SIAC Hall of Fame in 1992, the Alabama
Sports Hall of Fame in 1994, the National Track
and Field Hall of Fame in 1996 and the U.S. Track
& Field and Cross Country Coaches Association
Hall of Fame (USTFCCCA) in 2010.
. 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

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.

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.

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
