THE PANTHER
NOVEMBER/ 1944
| With Justice to All
i_ i
Well friends, here I am back again
with up to minute news of the latest
campus occurrences. Been doing a lot
of snooping lately, but it seems as if
I can’t see for looking—guess I need
glasses — well anyway Ole C. C. is
really on the ball as usual. The ques
tions have been coming in mighty
fast and so as not to let them pile
up here goes. . . .
Wonder is Reginald H. still trying
to capture D. C. H.’s heart ? Why is
it K. McK. and L. D. are so quiet
this year? . . . Who’s that joddy
named Carl, carrying on over J. Strat-
man? V. Cage has been singing, “I’ll
be so glad when my man comes
Home.” Wonder what she is trying
to sing now, “I Stay In a Mood For
You,” or “So Long?” Why did B.
Thompson take a part in a certain
play Was it to get to P. T. house?
. . . Are E. Edwards and C. Smith
slipping this year? What has hap
pened to all of their S. P.’s from
the “House.”
Someone said there was a man
shortage, but I don’t believe it, not
the way Chubby James has been act
ing lately — first it is E. G., then
A. M. R., and even a freshman. . . .
Miss R. R. Plummer Reed tried to
move in on U. G. Cutts, but the army
still has full sway, huh Cleo ? What
is Billy Thompson putting down this
season. First it’s Merner Hall, then
Pfeiffer and now I hear that J. D. is
supposed to be his S. P. Is that
right C. P.?
Little Miss Tom asked Mama Tom
was it true that Joe “Allah” is a
“music lover.” It seems as if he
spends Saturday A. M. singing and
tooting a clarinet. A few people
thought it was raining at the Tenn.-
Clark game, but others said it was
E. G.’s tears when she saw Haymes
get hurt. Down at the “Chatter Box”
(Girl’s Lounge) it was voted that
Dean Me is the shortest man at Clark,
Prof. Wright, the coolest, and Mr.
Holland the most colorful. Wonder
why all the Les Elites escort V. C. to
A. U. Library — watch out Cage they
may move you out.
The other day several of the city
celebrities organized a glamor society
with E. G., N. F., V. B., F. S., B. W.,
P. T., M. O’N., and V. C. as charter
members. What do the boys mean
when they say, $.15 single and two
for $.25 . . . ask Merner and Pfeiffer
Hall Girls.
It seemed as if a Clark boy was
getting things straight ’cause as I
passed he said, “You better stay away
from those Tigers. Why is K. Johnson
so cool this year? ... is it because
of J. H.? Wonder what she is going
to do when her S. P. returns to the
“House.”
The recent election caused Rich to
get richer but several Clark young
ladies poorer—oh well that is the
way it goes. Now that C. P. has been
elected Miss Clark T. O. is getting
added competition. Before going I
must tell you that D. Harper is mak
ing use of the two lounges after call
ing hours at Merner he goes over to
Pfeiffer.

Panthers Defeat ’Bama State
Panthers Bow to
’Skegee Tigers
The first trip of the 1944-45 foot
ball season toox the Panthers to the
“Magic City” where amidst the moon
and the stars they went forth to en
gage the Tuskegee Tigers in the
season’s classic. The game drew an
attendance of more than 5,600 fans
from Atlanta and Birmingham to see
the two famous teams battle.
The kick off was made at 8:30
p. m. and the first touchdown of the
game was scored by the Golden
Tigers at approximately one minute
afterwards. Tuskeegee’s first team
was built around Tabor, Perry, and
Hornburger who with their team
mates executed the “T” formation
which accounts for the continued suc
cess. Clark’s first team was centered
around Giles, Harper, Owens, Mitch
ell, Haynes, and Bolton. At the end
of the first quarter the Golden Tigers
were leading 7 to 0.
The Panthers never gave up their
attempt to wrestle the ball from
“Skegee,” however, they were thrown
back each time. What was thought
to have been only two minutes proved
to be five minutes while the ball was
in the hands of the Golden Tigers.
During this time the Tigers were
making excellent passes — one such
was made near the end of the second
period from Williams than Tabor who
passed to Hornberger. The ball drop
ped on Clark’s three-yard line. Horn-
burger scored for ’Skegee while
standing up bringing the score to
13-0 in favor of the Tigers.
During the end of the first half
of the game Parker High School Band
was lead on the field to thrill the
crowd and to add a happy moment
to the Clark fans as the band played
the Alma Mater. As the Majorettes
and Band marched around tiie field
they were given gracious applause.
At the beginning of the second half
the Panthers reappeared with re
newed determination and fortitude.
Harper and Haynes along with their
teammates came close to scoring on
the Golden Tigers, but each time the
ball was lost to the Tigers giving
them an opportunity to bring into
play their “T” formation. During the
third period the Panthers were fight
ing on even level with the Tigers and
several passes were made by Harper
to Slocum and from Harper to
Haynes. Still the Tigers were well
in the lead of the fighting Panthers.
The last quarter was the most col
orful, for it seemed as if the Pan
thers were in to score as a result
of several complete passes by Harper
to Haynes and to Slocum. A pass in
tended by Harper for Haynes was
intercepted by Tabor, who ran for
90 yards across the goal line. This
touchdown brought the score to 19-0
which was maintained by the Tigers
until the game ended. It was during
this last half that Harper caught the
ball on the 40-yard line and ran to
the 10-yard line as the crowd stood
in awe—anticipating a touchdown.
By JACK BELL
The Clark Panthers suddenly came
back to life after dropping two con
secutive tilts and overwhelmed the
Alaoama State Hornets to the tune
of 33-0 beiore an enthusiastic gath
ering at Harper's Stadium. The Hor
nets presented a scrapping but out
classed eleven; but the ranthers were
denmteiy superior in every phase oi
the game, 'the stalwart Panther for
ward wall stalked practically every
'Bama offensive thrust.
The Clarkites struck first, taking
possession of the bail on their 3o
alter fjolquitt returned the opening
kickoff 15 yards. From there they
launched a 65-yard sustained drive
with the starting backfield of Haynes,
Hatchett, Harper and Colquitt alter
nating to carry the ball to the Hornet
12 where (Joiquitt, who played a bril
liant game throughout, sneaked off
tackle to go across the double stripes
standing up. Harper's dropkick was
short and Clark led 6-0. An exchange
of punts followed and then Keny
Henry, Clark's scrappy little center,
intercepted a Hornet aereal, and aid
ed by nice downfield blocking romp
ed 29 yards to tally. Harper faked
a place kick and passed to heft Knd
Slocum for the extra point and the
score stood Clark 13—Alabama State
0. Bolton kicked to State and Bell
returned 10 yards to the 12. 'Two
plays netted no appreciable gain and
Btate punted to tneir 40. In 3 plays
the Panthers moved to the 28 where
Harper tossed a flat pass to Alter
nate Captain Owens, who lateraled to
Colquitt, who ran 24 yards to a
touchdown. This was a neatly execut
ed piay and caught the Dunnmen nap
ping. Harper's placement split tne
uprights and Clark forged ahead
20-0. The half ended with the score
unchanged.
Clark substituted liberally through
out the second half and State dis
played a bit more offense, only to
be pushed back by the stout Clark
line, when over they began to threat
en. Early in the fourth quarter
Clark struck again when Harper in
tercepted a Hornet pass and ran 26
yards to the Alabama 45. A fifteen
yard penalty for clipping gave Clark
a first down at the 30-yard line. Har
per then passed to Eberhart, who ran
21 yards to a touchdown with Owens
lending a timely block. Harper place-
kicked the point and the locals led
27-0. Clark’s final touchdown came
after Slocum recovered Mitchell’s
fumble on the ’Bama 19-vard line.
Hatchett carried to the 9-yard line
on a Statue of Liberty, after which
Perhaps the stars were against the
Panthers or maybe it was due to the
absence of the cheering squad or the
Band; whatever it was—the Panthers
suffered. Giles was put out of action
during the early half due to an eye
injury. Marion Weathers was knocked
unconscious during a pre-warm up
and put out permanently during the
first half. It must be remembered
Harper played in spite of injuries
sustained in the Army Game. And so
it was Clark bowed proudly to the
Tuskegee Golden Tigers.
Guylon Small powered the ball
across the goal standing up, but Clark
was penalized 15 yards to the State
23. From there Harper faked a pass
and skirted left end to go across vir
tually untouched. The placement was
blocked. Alabama’s lone counter came
late in the fourth quarter when they
kicked to the Clark 30, where Clark
fumbled, the ball being recovered by
Clayton of State. On the same play
the Clarkites were penalized half the
distance to their goal for slugging,
giving the Hornets first and 10 at
the 15. After 2 line plays ’Bama pass
ed complete to the 5, and another
first down. Bell, ’Bama right half
back, bucked across from the 3 on
third down. The conversion attempt
was no good. The game ended as
State kicked off out of bounds to
Clark. Clark annexed 10 first downs
to 3 for State, one of State’s result
ing from a 15-yard penalty against
Clark. The game was rather rough,
Clark being penalized 80 yards as for
35 for State.
