THE -CLARK PANTHER, SEPTEMBER, 1949 PAGE THREE Fair Store Offers Prizes With the opening of the 1949 grid season, more has been added to stimulate interest among the local colleges. In the Fair Clothing Store at 107 Whitehall Street are three boxes representing the three col leges of the Atlanta University Center which engage in athletics. Whenever a purchase is made at the store, the purchaser is allowed to cast a vote for his favorite school. If it is a dollar purchase, it counts as one vote; a fifty dollar purchase is counted as fifty votes. At the end of the grid season the college with the largest number of votes will receive a gift of its choice—something like a television set, sound projector or radio, phonograph or wire recorder. And this is not all — each individual member of the football team of the winning college will receive a gift for his sportsmanship—some thing like a pair of slacks and sweater. So, football men, if you want some pants—get your friends to go down and vote for Clark. It’s up to the students to make purchases and talk to others so that Clark might win. How wonderful it would be to have a television set in Davage Auditorium. There would be something to do on lonely nights. * * * HEALTH FACILITIES EXPANDED By Marie Young Each year the Health Depart ment strives to perform better ser vice for the Clark College family. This service took a sharp rise with the recent physical examinations; for in maintaining better service Clark usually adds a new phase to physical examinations each year. However, with this year’s physi cals, not one but several new pha ses have been added. Realizing that many failures in college are due to poor health, the Clark College Clinic has endeavor ed to offer the best service avail able. The clinical service not only begins with the physical examina tions during freshman week, but continues throughout the entire academic year. Judging from last year’s figure of 2,407 clinical cases, one cannot help but surmise the effectiveness of our health program. The college can now proudly boast of having one of the best college health pro grams in the city. Clark is fortunate in having Mr. Robinson, a local health educator, to work as a promoter of better health service. In addition to Nurse C. B. Chandler and Dr. W. N. Har per, he is also responsible for Clark’s bigger and better health program. THE PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY The scarcity of jobs, which made it impossible for many students to obtain work this summer, seems to have its good features, regard less of the grumbles from the stu dent body. For instance, the mem bers of the Philharmonic Society seem more relaxed, willing, and ready to commence hard work in contributing their individual talents to make this year a successful one. Most of the members arrived early to render music for the first communion service of the term and for the candle-light induction of the freshmen. Certainly such a good start is impressive. To con tinue effective organization the new officers for the ter mof ’49-’50 were elected. They are as follows: Presi dent, Alfonso Levy; Vice President, Julius Conway; Financial Secre tary, Dorothy Grant; Correspond ing Secretary, Xanthene Sayles; Treasurer, Lorenso Manns; Busi ness Manager, Cubell Johnson; Chief Librarian, Frederick Hobbs. Under the leadership of Dr. J. DeKoven Killingsworth, our direc tor, and Mrs. Marian Sykes, our pianist, we, as a group, feel that our hopes and aims for this term will be successfully fulfilled.

The game was played in the new Herndon Stadium, September 24. The Purple and Black Wolver ines of Morris Brown College are heading for their first SIAC foot ball crown since the heydays of John “Big Train” Moody. Now if the Wolverines can get by the tough Florida A & M Rattlers they may be well on their way; and if they do annex the football champion ship they will be the first team to hold the basketball and football crowns at one time since the Rat tlers of “Famcee” did it in 1947. HOMECOMING The two teams played as though they were evenly matched with Louisville earning a total of 12 first downs to the Panthers’ 10. Johnny “Meridian Express” Rich ards returned the opening kickoff back to his own 45 and later picked up three more yards for the Pan thers before the ball changed hands. The Bantams took possession of the ball on their own 25-yard line as the results of Schley William son’s 40-yard boot. Then Stanley Tabor, June Brown, Robert Walk er, and All-Midwestern Marshal. Clay went to work for the Bantams moving the oval down to the Pan thers’ 18-yard line with two suc cessful passes as the first quarter ended. The Louisville eleven came back in the second quarter with the ball resting on the Clark 18-yard line and executed a deceptive hand off from quarterback Tabor to fullback Clay. Clay went all the way down to the Panthers’ 7-yard stripe before he was finally pulled down by a host of Panthers. On the very next play Stanley Tabor concealed the ball and faded back with a long pass which end Wil liams pulled down out of the end zone. The Bantams yielded the ball to the Panthers on downs. Schley Wil liamson’s plow thru center was good for about four yards. Benja min Lloyd punted the Panthers out of danger with a punt that carried 35 yards. The Panthers opened their first drive of the game in the second period after taking pos session of the ball on their own 40. Schley Williamson picked up a yard placing the ball on the 41 and Harold “Blind Bob” Barrett, fresh man sensation, dashed off 22 yards thru tackle to the Louisville 37. Richards went down to the Louis ville 26 off a hand off from Charles’ Ponder, and, on the next play, Richards moved the oval to the Bantams’ 20-yard stripe. Ponder carried the ball to the Bantams’ 19, but a penalty against the Panthers for clipping set the ball back to the Louisville 34. A pass from Ponder was intercepted and Louisville took over on their own 20. Neither team was able to score as the first half of play ended. gfr LOUISVILLE SCORES IN THIRD PERIOD The Louisville Bantams came back strong in the third to push over the first score of the after noon. The sustained drive started from the Clark 35-yard line. Quar terback Tabor handed off the ball to June Brown and Brown went all the way down to the Panthers’ 6. Later Brown went over for the touchdown off a pitch out from Tabor. The kick from placement 1 by James Williams with Stikes holding split the uprights and Louisville took a 7-0 lead over the favored Panthers from Clark. SANDERSON SCORES FOR PANTHERS The Panthers roared back in the final stages of the game in an at tempt to overcome the 7-0 lead held by the Bantams. The Clark drive began on their own 22-yard line and was spearheaded by triple threat halfback Charles Ponder. Ponder, Elijah Poythress, and Schley Williamson alternated to move the oval to the Louisville 39 where Ponder sped the distance to place the ball within inches of a score for the Panthers. Quarter back Samuel Sanderson tallied for the Clark eleven on the next play. Ponder’s kick for the point after touchdown was wide. Poythress was holding. The Panthers staged a final threat as the game ended with Charles Ponder pitching a series of passes. One was good for 27 yards.
