"Desire To Win" Was Key To Clark's
Football Success In The 1959 Season
How do you bring a football team which played .500
ball last year to one which went undefeated in secven games
this season? According to Clark Colleges Director of Ath
letics and Head Coach, iLeonidas Epps, the difference between
a winning and losing team is largely a matter of “the desire
to play and win ball games.”
When asked why his team
’ showed so much improvement he
gave these reasons: “A desire
to win, a keen competitive spirit,
willingness to give everything
and team effort.” He said his
team has never been defensive-
minded. “We had to play ac
cording to weather conditions
and material on hand. Remem
ber we had twenty-seven fresh
men who came along rapidly,
but at the beginning of the sea
son they had no college football
experience.”
(From the beginning , of the
season “we had the opportunity
to work our freshmen into the
games rather well. Vance and
. Hopkins were no problem at all
to work in at the outset and
■since then our line has been
greatly strengthened by Herdie
Lawrence and Harold Huggins.
I think our line stood up fav
orably against any in the con
ference, and is likely to be much
stronger next year.”
The. Clarkites, who toppled
five of their opponents and tied
two others, ended high in the
conference. Starting off as a
candidate for about midway the
conference ladder, the Panthers
began the work of chewing up
opponents by taking Claflin 18-

being a better team when they
won from Fort Valley, 15-14, in
