Panthers Set For Morris Brown Game
Clarkites Rated Favorites
To Notch Second Victory
For the second consecutive year Clark is rates to de
feat Morris Brown in the annual Thanksgiving battle at
Herndon Stadium.
This is not Coach Epps’ prediction, however, as the
Panther mentor earlier listed the Wolverines as “one of
the toughest opponents we’ll have this year. Morehouse
and South Carolina were listed among these in a pre-sea
son prediction made by Coach Epps.
Last year’s game wrote finis—or at least an interrup
tion—to a series of Morris Brown victories which went
back to 1949, and although Clark occasionally was rated a
50-50 contender for victory, the best they could do until
last year was a 3-0 loss in 1958.
Now seasoned by a schedule of rough contests which
has netted them but one victory—over Miles— the Wol
verines are undoubtedly ready to go for broke in a do or
die effort to save face to some degree with a victory over
Clark.
Last year it was Clark’s show all the way. The Pan
thers stormed Wolverine defenses and left them bewil
dered with a 34-14 loss in 1962. They will be facing largely
the same team this year and will have to reckon with the
nation’s third-best small college passing attack and as
well as the ground-greediest group of halfbacks Clark has
assembled in several years.
Nearly a full Clark team will be playing in their last
collegiate football game on Thanksgiving Day. The ten
seniors who will go against Morris Brown in hopes of a
second victory in this series are the backbone of the squad.
'They are Elmer Mixon, Robert Davis, William Cummings,
Arrington, Louis Nevett, Lamond Godwin and David
Reggie Williams, Alvin Sanders, Lowell Dickerson, Marvin
Palmer.

Week observance.

lop a sense of direction that will
bring into focus your active ima

derstanding of your physical
environment.”
Speaking on the American
Education Week theme “Streng
thening our Nation Through Ed
ucation” he urged Clark students
to become “educated to their
responsibilities” as citizens.
