PAGE 4 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. Social Tid Bits The social events for this month started with the Greek Letter organi zations.

The members of the senior class issued invitations to the senior members of Spelman, More house, and Morris Brown Colleges for a Sunday afternoon tea which was held in Pfeiffer Lounge. Mrs. Maxine Webb and Inelle Brown poured tea. . . . The Tokyo social club enter tained their new members recently. Misses Omogene Williams and Kather ine Farley were the hostesses. . . .

Extra, Extra . . . D. Lewis needs a mustache trim, and Don Small a hair cut. “Peeping Tom.” 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 was rather rough, Clark being penalized 80 yards as for 35 for State. Starting lineup: ’Bama Clayton Ingram C James Underwood Grav Hollis Abrams Posev Bell Bryant Clark Pos.
