Panthers Repeat On Last Year
To Win Runner-Up Track Spot
Clark College’s Track Team emerged second in
the conference’s annual Track and Field Meet last
Saturday. It was the second consecutive year that the
Panthers ran away with runner-up honors in the
meet.
Paving the way for Clark’s
second-place spot—behind Flor
ida A&M—was Curtis Crockett,
who brought home nearly half
of the team’s points with first
place victories in 'both the shot-
put and discuss throw.
Crocket tossed the 16-pound
shot 46 feet, 6 inches, and hurl
ed the discuss 135 feet, two and

inches to lead the field of some
seven participants.
Charles Nevett ran second in
both the 100-yard run and 220-
yard run, and Henry Clark took
second place in the broad jump.
William Bailey ran a fourth-
place in the two-mile run, and
Football Prospects for
1960 Look Very Good
Prospects for another winning
season at football seem good for
the Panthers, with only -for vet
erans slated for departure via
the graduation route. Whether
the Panthers can hold up via
the academic route is area for
speculation, but word has it
that most of the gridders are in
pretty good shape with the Reg
istrar’s Office.
The Panthers face the same
lineup fr ’60 as they faced in
’59. They kickoff in a non-con
ference tilt with Claflin which
has been slated for September
16. But the game may be shift
ed from Atlanta to Orangeburg,
since that is a date 'before the
opening of school here.
Coach Epps’ biggest problems
will be on the line, where Arth
ur Clay, Arthur Carter and
Becton Donaldson will be miss
ing. The vacancy left by Arthur
“Flattop” Williams will be most
difficult to fill, and it may be
that the Clark mentor will move
Curtis Crockett up—or back—•
to fill the slot.

his shoes” fpr the last time, he
