By HAROLD I
The lour time victorious Panthers,
who defeated Savannah State Col
lege lor three ol their victories and
Knoxville College lor the other,
have a tough 21 game schedule lac
ing them for their remaining games.
On January 4 the Eppsmen jour

On January 5, the Clarkites will
meet highly-rated Fisk University

toughest game so far played.
A game with Le Moyne College
is tentatively scheduled for January
9, to be played in Atlanta.
On the 12th it’s the Maroon Tigers
of Morehouse who will meet the
Panthers at the Morehouse gym

these two games they will have won
the first round of the city champion
ship rivalry.
On January 25 Cleve Abbott’s
Golden Tigers of Tuskegee Institute
come to Atlanta. This game even
now promises to be one of the high
lights of the season. A local sports
writer has labeled the Tuskegee
quintet one to watch this season.
The next day the Panthers play
the second game of a six-game home
series against South Carolina State.

The other games of this series are
to be played against Benedict, on
the 28th; Xavier, on February 2; Be-
thune-Cookman on the 14th, and
Morehouse on the 8th. And if the
Panthers win this game they will
retain the seconl place city crown
which they now hold—provided
they beat Morehouse in the first
game.
Then on the 9th the Eppsmen
meet S. C. State again in Orange
burg, S. C. and on the 12th it’s Mor
ris Brown—perhaps for the city
championship.
Tuskegee, renowned for its in
vincibility upon its home court, will
be the next foe for the Panthers.
This contest will be played in
Tuskegee’s Logan Hall, site of the
SIAC Tournament, on February 15.
Tough Alabama State plays host
to the Panthers on February 16.
Last year in Atlanta the regular
period ended 53-53. The Alabam
ians took the game in the overtime,
62-60.
Mighty Florida A & M comes
next, and the date of this game is
February 19.
Three more home games remain
on the schedule after Florida: Allen,
on the 21st; Fisk on the 23rd, and
Fort Valley on the 28th,
The Panthers call it a season after
they meet Fort Valley State College
in Macon on March 3.
Then its on to the Tournament,
which will be played, as it has been
for many years, in Tuskegee’s Lo
gan Hall.
Unless there is a change in plans,
all the Panthers’ games will be
played at the Magnolia, and all will
begin at 8 p. m.
Brown Wins
Annual Classic
A sellout crowd at Herndon Sta
dium on Thanksgiving Day saw
the Clark Panthers lose to confer
ence champions Morris Brown, 50-6.
The Panthers played heads-up
ball throughout the game and the
highly-vaunted Browp running at
tack failed to show the brilliance
which the experts predicted. Most
of Brown’s scoring was the result of
passes.
DRAKE U.
Quits MVC
The Drake University Athletic
Council ended its Missouri Valley
Conference membership on Nov. 27
because the conference refused to
investigate the assault upon John
Bright in the Drake-Oklahoma A.
& M. football game at Stillwater,
October 20th.
Bright suffered a broken jaw in
the early minutes of the game Which
Oklahoma won 27-14. Drake of
ficials after viewing pictures of the
game charged Bright was the victim
of at least three “victious and pre
meditated attacks by Oklahoma
Guard Wilbanks Smith.
Drake in its action on Nov. 27 al
so ciut off athletic relations with
Oklahoma at once. The athletic
council said it was asking Okla
homa officials to cancel contracts
for two basketball games between
the two schools this season.
Brown chalked up the first score
late in the first quarter after Clark’s
Norris Mluldrow fumbled on the
Clark 15 yard line and Benson,
Wolverine tackle recovered. After
three plays Daniels carried the ball
across for the score. The attempted
conversion failed.
A few moments later Arthur
Johnson received the kickoff on his
own 15, faked a run toward the
right side of the field, leaped into
the air and fired a backward pass to
Newt Solomon on the opposite side
of the field. Solomon took to the
side-line and scampered all the way
to the Brown 30 yard line before be
ing tackled. One more good block
would have enabled him to go the
distance. A penalty for delaying the
game pushed the Panthers back to
the 35 and after three attempts
quarterback Arthur Johnson, fired a
pass to Reman Turmon, but Daniels
intercepted.
At halftime Brown was ahead 31-
0.
Clark’s lone score came after Nor
ris Muldrow covered a fumble
made by Rufus Tribble on his own
21. Offie Clark, in at quarterback
was the key man on the touchdown.
He hit Laurence Gates on a pass
play at the 8, then fired another
pass to Freddie Jackson who made
a sensational leaping catch in the
end zone. Johnson’s PAT try was
wide of the goalposts. At this point
the score was 38-6.
Brown scored twice after the
Clark touchdown and the game end
ed 50-6.
Clark Quint
Wins Opener
By HAROLD A. HAMILTON
In their first game of the season
the Clark Panthers defeated Savan
nah State College’s Tigers 68-44 on
the Magnolia Court, December 8.
Showing the polish and form
which won for them third place at
the SIAC Tournament at Tuskegee
last year, the Panthers overcame an
early two-point lead and led Savan
nah State all the way.
Starting the game were Forrest
Patterson and Bennie Lowe at the
forwards, Avery Burress and James
Trice at the guards, and Roman
Turmon at center.
Bennie Lowe, high scorer for the
game, with 16 points started Clark’s
scoring with a goal from the sid-
line, and a few moments later hit
again from the same spot to put the
Panthers ahead 4-2. Roman Tur
mon, who led the scorers last sea
son, was slow getting started, but
made 7 points each half to follow
Lowe for scoring honors. Lowe
made 8 goals out of 18 attempts.
Turmon shot the ball only six times,
but made five of the six attempts
good.
Forrest Patterson, a converted
guard now playing forward, hit the
hoops for 6 points on two field goals
and two free throws. Burress, last
year’s starting forward, played a
Symposium
Analyzes Play
Members of the Literary Sym
posium offered their services re
cently to explain “A Mid Summer
Night’s Dream” which was present
ed by the dramatics department.
Miss Frances McGuire, albng with
Misses Sylvia Smith, Mildred Jones,
Constance Burts, and Vienna Thom,
was on hand to explain the play to
the group that assembled in the
auditorium Wednesday, November
21.

when the Symposium met Monday,
November 19 in the lower lounge of
Holmes Hall. At this meeting the
group heard a discussion of E. A.
Robinson’s poem ‘‘Mr. Flood’s
Party.”

She averred that individuals are
emotionally mature when they are
task-centered rather than self-cen
tered. “Lack of ethical maturity is
shown, “she continued, “when we
squander our freedom in the mis
management of our lives, in the ex
ploitation of the weak by the strong,
by the misuse of power. ‘It is ex
cellent to have the strength of a
giant—to use it like a giant is tyran
nous.’ These famous words true in
the nineteenth century are equally
true today.”
“Men will lack ethical maturity,”
she concluded, “until they learn
that motives in men’s hearts are
more important than machines in
men’s hands."
Dr. Brookes, Chairman of the De
partment of English, has won na

President David Owen of Bradley
University stated that he would rec
ommend to his faculty athletic com
mittee that it follow Drake’s lead in
withdrawing from the conference.

Drake protested to the conference
shortly after the A. & M. game. But
conference presidents and faculty
representatives said that the con
ference “holds no pewer to take
disciplinary action against an indi
vidual player.”

covering a Fisk fumble on the Bull
