Track Now that spring has officially made its appearance the men of Clark have gathered their track shoes and warm-up togs. They are going to add their ability in the “world of track.” The men who participate not only ac quaint themselves with sports, but also learn their teammates and good sportsmanship. These and all the other standards that go to make good athletics may he found in Clark men who have displayed more than their part to keep our institution “Second to None.” Introducing the track team of ’45, we find Talmadge Owens of Gary, Indiana, who made All- S. I. A. C., and All-City pick for football and All-City in basket ball, out for the broad jump and sprint. Joseph Swiggins of Springfield, Ohio, who made a creditable showing for himself in basketball, is a sprint man. Reginald Haynes of Texas throwing the discus. The men just mentioned are all three- letter men. Other men from last year’s team are: Earnest Sulli van of Atlanta, Ga., throwing the javelin, and Samuel Hatch ett of Chicago, Ill., who takes to the air in pole-vaulting. The new members of the squad are Raymond Williams of Atlanta. He is heading the list of a three-letter man for the Freshman Class. An ace on the basketball court, we hope to see the same of Raymond as a 440 man. Little Kelly Henry of Knoxville, Tenn., 440 man; Jo seph Brown of Gary, Indiana, high jump and sprint; Joseph Jennings of Texas, discus and javelin. These men, too, should make the list of three-letter men: Charles White of Atlanta, Ga., sprint; David Washington of Texas, shot and discus; Jetty Viot of La., mile run; John Camp of Dayton, Ohio, mile; Jordon Williams of Atlanta, sprint; Chester Page of Atlan ta, Ga., mile; and Allen Slocum, Columbus, Ala., shot-put. What Would Happen If: Lena were a Short instead of a Long? Rose were a Foot instead of a Head ? Mae were a Temple instead of a Chappie? Anna were Grits instead of a Rice ? Louise were a Steak instead of a Ham? Bernice were a Meadows in stead of a Fields? Enid were a Black instead of a White? Alonzo were a Mountain in stead of a Hill? Lizzie were an Egg instead of a Bacon? Jack were a Chime instead of a Bell? Mary were a Thicket instead of a Pickett? Bernice were a Grinder in stead of a Miller? Madeline were a Weed instead of a Reed? Louise were a Yellow instead of a Brown ? Eddie were a Brook instead of a River? David were a Violinist instead of a Harper? A. P>. were a Wrong instead of a Wright? Edith were an Old instead of a Young? Ada were a Slaveman instead of a Freeman? Annie were a Straight instead of a Cross? Softball Spring— brings with it many wholesome activities. Another phase of sports the men of Clark are taking an active part in is softball. The season started off with a double-header between the Baby Rens and the Clark Panthers. The Baby Rens won. March 31, 1945, Clark and Morris Brown played at the reg ular meeting place, the A. U. diamond. Morris Brown won the first game, 3 to 1, but as only natural for the Panthers of Clark, they took the second, 4 to 1. The players for Clark are: Raymond “Doe Belly” Wil liams, George “Chubby” James, Joseph “Jodo” Brown, Talmadge “Fox” Owens, Reginald “Steer” Haynes, Joseph “Profile” Swig- gins, Hamilton “Hamp” Petti grew, Joseph “Pee Wee” Eber- hart, Jeffery Jennings, Samuel Hatchett, Edward “Blimp” Chapman, Thomas Jrissom and Clarence Lovick. If Only He Wouldn’t look as if his nails were in mourning. Would bury the sports jacket that bangs against his knees. Wotdd refrain from looking either as if he were growing a nage-boy bob or as if he had been run over by a passing lawn- mower. Would lift the anchor off his spine when my mother comes into the room. Would invest in a lotion so that when we hold hands in the movies I wouldn’t feel like an orange being grated. Would stop defying the law of gravity with those garterless socks of his. Wouldn’t take three inches off Ids height by that weary, wilt ed stance. Would use a good gargle ten minutes before he comes over to see me. Would clean his shoes occa sionally, just for the novelty. Would change his collars be fore they begin to look as if the laundry had refused them. Would bring his trouser cuffs and his shoe tons within hailing distance of each other. Wouldn’t look upon a hand kerchief only as a decorative item. Would concede that a trouser pleat is not synonymous with be- in «r a sissv. Wouldn’t allow such an im- nressive view of his food while it’s being chewed. Would donate his scenic ties to the National Geographic So ciety. Would stop being funny about the way I look. If Only She Would lop off that rat’s nest she calls a pompadour. Wouldn’t smear that gory red goo on her lips. Would find a way of keeping that goo . . . light or dark . . . off her teeth. Would chip some of that phony-looking paint off her face. Would give up gnawing off most of her fingernails and cov ering what’s left with more dark red stuff. Wouldn’t get me all confused with so many pins and rings and bracelets. Would shoot the guy who sold her those ankle-length earrings. Wouldn’t go around looking as BOXING Still another phase of Sports has come to Clark, that of Box ing. Getting ready for the Box ing Bouts at Sunset, Clark vs. Morehouse, a couple of the men of Clark, from the “Steel City,” ventured to Box at the USO Tuesday, April 24. In the ring we found Johnnye “Bird” Col- quit, seemingly a quiet person ality, yet he is still a sportsman fro mhis heart. Having fought at the “Savoy” in Chicago, “Twin City” in East Chicago, South Bend and Michigan City, “Bird” had quite a bit in the gloves that added to his credit. The other boxer for Clark was T. “Fox” Owens. These men boxed and won over the Hill Brothers. Mind Stretcher Which word in each group is in strange company? 1. Denmark Bolivia Bulgaria Estonia Albania 2. Tennyson Longfellow Burns Thackeray Riley 3. fairy troll gnome druid dryad 4. Libra Pleiades Taurus Virgo Pisces 1. Bolivia is a country of South America, and others are in Europe. 2. Thackeray was a novelist, the others poets. 3. A druid was a person, the others, supernatural beings. 4. The Pleiades are a cluster of stars in the constellation Taurus, the rest, signs of Zo diac. if she expected to grow into her sweater eventually. Wouldn’t giggle-giggle-giggle in the movies. Wouldn’t let that wild and abandoned note creep into her gum-chewing. Wouldn’t try to make her fan cy perfume a substitute for soap and water. Would understand that noth ing on earth can be more “too much” than perfume. Wouldn’t always be hitching and hiking at her clothes as if she had an epidemic of grass hoppers. Would stop waving her hands around ilke a traffic cop every t ; me she tells a story. Would find some gadget to keep her stockings from getting all baggy at the ankles. Wouldn’t ever wear high- heeled shoes with slacks and wouldn’t wear slacks downtown at all. Would stop being funny about the way I look. (Reprinted from “Seventeen April, 1945)
