Panthers Possess
Abundance of Talent
BY ELMER GOULD
A look at the Panthers reveals
an abundance of talent, speed,
size and power.
The offense consists of the full
backs, Curtis Crockett, who has
been injured since the Ft. Val
ley game but was a leading fac
tor in Clark's win from Claflin
in the opening game. Halfback,
Raymond Hughes, James Lester,
Milton Cherry and fullback Ed
die McMichael have been very
proficient in handling their of
fensive maneuvers. The team is
directed by two very fine quar
terbacks, James Felder and
Terry Nelson. Albert Spearman
who handles the fullback posi
tion has also been at the position
as signal caller a few times,
however he is used in most of
the punting situations.
The forward wall of the Pan
thers is manned by such big
linemen like Charlie Smith, Gil
bert Turman, Lewis Nevett, Lo
vell Ttwyman, Eddie Turner, oR-
bert Barksdale and Lorenzo
Gleaton. These men. along with
others keep pressure on the of
fense and defense with constant
hit and drive.
The 1960 Panthers are a well
talented team and future foes
had just better be careful.
