S. C. Turns
Panthers 21-13
By ROBERT ANTHONY
South Carolina’s Bulldogs bounc
ed from behind to down the fight
ing Panthers 21-13 under the lights,
Friday night, October 12, at Hern
don Stadium.
The Panthers took an early lead
after Arthur Johnson returned a
Bulldog punt 40 yards to the S. C.
two-yard line. Then fullback Nor
ris Muidrow went over for the TD.
The Panthers scored again in the
third period when quarterback Of-
fie Clark' of Wilson, N. C., fired a
pass 35 yards to Freddie. Jackson for
the lost Clark touchdown. Johnson
added the PAT.
The Bulldogs struck back and
scored in three plays with Samuel
Parks carrying the ball.
Clark’s defenders were humiliated
when Thomas Humber, the triple
threat quarterback of S. C. grabbed
Johnson’s punt in the fourth quarter
raced 85 yards for a sensational
touchdown, tying the score. Then
he booted the placement, his second
for the night, and put the Carolin
ians out front 14-13.
The Panthers took the ball late
in the fourth period and were un
able to advance beyond their own
20. South Carolina took over and
Shellie Martin needed only four
plays to score the final TD.
When Coach Epps fields his bas
ketball, team this season he will be'
placing a major threat before all
contenders for the SIAC Visitation
Championship as well as the Con
ference Tournament.
After losing only three players
from last year’s team, the Panthers
are rich in experience.

in a row! That’s how the Clark-
Morehouse record now stands.
October 27th’s Clark-Morehouse
game ended with the PJnthers out
front 12-0. The bells were as silent
that night as they had been for the
past ten years.
Holding their punch for the sec
ond half the Panthers played ag
gressive ball in the first period and
held Morehouse in their own ter
ritory most of the time while pene
trating as deep as the Morehouse
one yard-line, but were unable to
score on either of the three first
half threats.
Offie Clark missed Jackson, Can
non, and Mann on three pass at
tempts but hit Charles Stinson for
one of'the twio pass completions of
the first half. The other completed
pass was from Arthur Johnson to
Roman Turmon on the last play of
the first frame. Turmon took the
pass on the Morehouse twenty-five
and carried two Morehouse tacklers
on his back to their eighteen yard
line.
Arthur Johnson’s long punts have
kept the Panthers out of danger in
many instances. The triple-threat
quarterback from New Orleans is
a master of broken-field running
and his punt returns this season
have set up several Clark touch
downs.

Football Team
Showing the spirit that has won
for Clark in the last ten years all
the Morehouse games, the Panthers
came back in the second half and
pushed Morehouse back, blocked a
kick, covered two fumbles, knocked
down several “House” passes and
scored two touchdowns.
Percy Evans made the first score
on a twio yard smash through the
weakening Morehouse fine.
The second tally was the end of
a series of plays which started after
Larkin Bell blocked a Morehouse
kick. Laurence Gates took a hand-
off from quarterback Arthur - John
son and tore through the line and
romped thirty-five yards unmolest
ed. Both attempts by Johnson for
the PAT were failures.
Larkin Bell, playing on a swollen
left leg, teamed with Roman Tur
mon and stopped everything that
came through their side of the line.
Walter Vance, freshman end, picked
up a first down on an end around
play, his first try at this play in a
game. Larkin Mann and Robert
Givens two big fullbacks wrecked
havoc through the Morehouse line
through holes made by Odum,
Hobbs, Lewis, Pat Bell. Henry Col
lins did his bit in setting up the
first touchdown when he bulldogged
over center and carried the pigskin
to the Morehouse twenty.

XAVIER GAME
Outplaying the Panthers from the start, Xavier University’s “Gold
Rush” eleven remained in the ranks of the undefeated and untied teams
in the SIAC as they scored a 45-0 victory over the Eppsmen in New Or
leans On November 3.
The Clark line fell three minutes after the opening kickoff and Xav
ier’s McClain went over the strips for the first tally.
Rough play in the line resulted in the ousting of Pat Bell, and sev
eral minutes later Captain Lewis joined him on the bench for the re
mainder of the game. Two Xavier players wfere also ousted with Bell
and Lewis for unnecessary roughness.
Intercepted passes thrown by Clark and Johnson set up two of Xav
ier’s scores, and the bruising line play of All-American Willie Bloxtcei
held the Panthers out of Xavier territory most of the game.
Xavier scored 32 points in the first half but crossed the stripes for
only 13 points in the second half.
This loss, the most overwhelming of the season, placed the Panthers’
conference-record at 3 wins and 3 losses with two games remaining.
Playing good ball for the Panthers, though for a lost cause, were
Roman Turmon, Laurence Gates, Lee Artis McNeil, Offie Clark, Leon
Carlton, William Daniels, Walter Vance, Jerry Hobbs, Edward Williams,
Henry Collins, John Cannon, Freddie Jacksosn, Newt Solomon, Charles
