THE PANTHER
MARCH, 1945
With Justice to All
Hi Coeds! . . . Kinda out of
breath (phew!) . . . just fin
ished gathering- the latest gos
sip from here, there and yon
der (mostly yonder). Boy! What
I haven’t seen this time! (wink)
... I see that R. Haynes has
elected himself K. McKinney’s
personal Mail Censor . . . won
der if that’s why he’s been re
ceiving the “cold shoulder?”
Don’t cry, Haynes . . . Eloise
Waters will be around. The lat
est thing in dining room ethics
happened a few days ago when
Wm. Trammel loudly command
ed W. Beasley to carry her tray
back, which she meekly did . . .
nice work, W. T.
Pee Wee, just what were you
and Kitty Sheats puttin’ down
in the hallway of the “Rec” . . .
we didn’t know it was like that
. . . J. Thompson, stop trying
so hard to get a grasp on Pedro,
don’t you know L. Clyde W. was
first? even if he doesn’t realize
she exists. I’ve noticed that this
nice weather is producing its ef
fect on T. Cooper and G. Wynn
from the “house.” Incidentally,
I know of at least one time when
the “house” and Clark got to
gether . . . Georgia Boy Allen
and Charles S. bought their re
spective hearts, C. Smith and
L. Tatum, identical boxes of
candy for Valentine’s Day. Car
olyn played a fast one, tho’, and
received another box from Ad-
lert . . . (wonder if Marcella
knew about that?)
Prof. Dennis . . . what would
become of the Prater, Jefferson,
Tate triangle if a fourth angle
popped up from Meharry? . . .
Noticed that the “Two Peas in
a Pod,” Spotts and Bradford,
are heading toward matrimony,
that is, if that Frat pin she’s
wearing means anything. Looks
like Cupid’s gonna dood it again!
. . . Tch, Tch . . . wonder what
happened to the lovely Mitchell-
Conyer couple ? He looked so
cute wearing his heart on his
sleeve for her, too ... oh, well;
I know Prof. Killingsworth
would like M. C. James to send
his chauffeur back on time,
(grin) ... Do you think Adol-
pheus L. will appreciate hear
ing that I. Jerricks and Junior
hold hands on the campus.
We thought that the Harper-
Coffee affair had ended . . . but
I noticed that everything is rosy
again. D. T. H. and “Tee”
brought the sweetest little
sweetheart pins (souvenirs from
’Bama) for their one and onlies,
Gwen and Cyn, to wear. Confi
dentially, D. Hunter, you won’t
have to act as secret detective
for G. Coffee any longer . . .
speaking of Dot Hunter, looks
as tho’ she’s put Danny down.
Yep, the buckeye has lost sight
of his objective. (Every dark
clud has a silver lining, hasn’t
it, Colclough?) ... It must be
the real thing with Gabby and
“Dimps” Smith. Alonzo . . .
you’d better get hep, B. Fields
is seeing quite a lot of a cer
tain fella at the “house.” A.
Blaylockk is doing a bit of all
reet for herself, too . . . ’course
it’s about time for somebody to
discover that Lolita Guinart has
designs on Jerome Harris . . .
wonder who the guy is that had
the power to quiet “Mairzy
Doats” (Helen Cooper) down?
Ain’t it too sweet that F. Bon
ner ’fessed to R. Bolton that it
was her first time to ever be in
love . . . Katie B. and Kilgore
still enjoy holding hands.
E. Z. Edwards really scored
one when she brought Odom
along with her to Vesper Serv- -
ice . . . where does that leave
you, Grade? See that Eloise
Thomas’ fourth finger left hand
is encircled with a “stone.’ ’
Wall . . . I’ve just time to
drop a few hints and then, I
gotta be on my way. Rawly, Miss
Sullivan . . . the Clark Family
and the Freshman Class (espe
cially) is wondering when you
are gonna get a new hair style.
Hiram Kindle, we like that black
sweater . . . but really! GS« it
a rest. Wall . . . must go now,
if these few lines strike home
. . . wall . . . just grin and bear
it!
Your humble servant,
Peepin’ Tom.

The lassies and lads of Clark
College took both ends of a twin
bill from the Purple Wolverines
Friday, February 2, to resume
their winning ways; and an
nexed two quite decisive vie
tories in so doing.
In the opener the girls of
Clark, after being matched point
for point in the initial half, came
back strong and galloped to a
22-11 win. This game was fought
hard and several near scraps re
sulted from the heated rivalry
and hustling play of both teams.
M. Lamar and M. Downs led our
forwards in point-makings, tal
lying 8 apiece, while our guards
played a good offensive and de
fensive game throughout.
In the headlines our boys were
not to lie denied and the final
whistlebrought us a 52-38 mar
gin of victory. From the open
ing minute of play Clark sprang
into a lead which was once tied
but never wrested from them.
The count stood 25-14 at half
time, with our Panthers leading.
In the second half every mem
ber of the squad saw action and
performed in a very satisfactory
manner.
Spearheading the victors’ at
tack were R. Williams, high
point man of the night with 15,
Alt. Captain Haynes with 12,
Capt. Owens 10, Joe Brown 8,
Swiggins 4, and William Lakes
with 3. Colquitt, William, Henry,
and Lincoln Crittendons con
tributed to the victory.
Brown was led by Love with
11, and Captain Carter, who
played heads up ball in a los
ing cause, with 10.
Clark Clowns on The
“House” for “City
Champs” Game
The Panthers added anothei
city title to our ’44-45 sports
endeavors, annexing the basket
ball championship in a 40-26 vic
tory over our arch rivals, More
house, Tuesday, February 20, at
Sunset Casino.
The Clarkites, with vengeance
in mind, went out intent on wip
ing a 46-42 defeat, at the hands
of the Tigers from our state,
and after spotting House the
first two points. They started
hitting and built up a 7-2 lead.
The Tigers, however, pulled to
within two points of us and then
a see-saw battle ensued. At half
time Clark’s lads were holding
desperately to a one-point lead,
the count standing 15-14.
From the opening whistle of
the second half our lads were
definitely unstoppable and but
ting on all cylinders. Before the
unexpected offensive spirit was
terminated we had sprung to a
24-19 lead. Williams and Swig
ging were popping from all an
gles of the court and gathered
10 markers apiece, while
Haynes remained unstoppable
throughout the second half to
garner 12 points. T. Owens and
J. Brown played excellent defen
sive ball and their teamwork was
instrumental in setting up many
markers.
The game ended with Clark
engaged in clowning antics on
their somewhat befuddled oppo
nents ; Colquitt, Lakes and Crit-
tendon saw action during the fi
nal half.
The Tigers were unable to get
three offenses clicking due to an
airtight zone defense in the first

Alabama and Tuskegee
Winding up the season in con
ference competition the Clark
lads and lassies journeyed to
Alabama State and Tuskegee to
engage both teams in double-
headers.
In the initial fracas against
State we split two games, our
girls losing to the State sextet
in the opener. Our forwards
lacked the scoring punch to cap
italize on the breaks and Mil
dred Johnson was the only
shooter retaining her eye, lead
ing our scores with 8. Stewart
of State with 19 was easily out
standing for the night and miss
ing nothing. Clark’s guarding
abilities were hindered some
what when B. Black and S. Rut
ledge fouled out midway during
the fray.
In the main go, in a hotly con
tested fracas, the Panthers crept
to a 46-39 victory, in a game
marked by an excess of personal
fouls. Clark spearheaded by
“Tee” Owens” with 16 points for
fhe night outplayed and outhus-
tled ’Bama throughout most of
the game. Clayton and MacEl-
rorv fouled out in the final half
for State. Swiggins, Haynes and
Williams with 13, 11 and 8,
were thumbs in the Hornet’s
sides, while J. Brown played
consistent ball throughout on
the defense.
Hollis with 15 was the hottest
thing in the scoring column for
State, with Vann next, count
ing 8.
Haynes’ 15 was the best scor
ing effort for us, while Williams’
7, Owens and Swiggins with 5
apiece and Brown’s 3 completed
the Clark scoring.
half and excellent man-to-man
guarding in the final periods.
The big guns of ’House were vir
tually all stilled. Brooks and
Dooley with 9 apiece were high
scorers for their team, and Capt.
Harris was held to 3 points, due
to a fine bit of defensive play
on -our noble lads’ parts.
