Clark lays a record of one loss in their last eleven homecoming games on the line against Savannah on October 24. It will be the fourth contest of the season for the Clarkites who played South Caro lina last week at Orangeburg. It will be the first of two home games for the Clarkites before they move against Alabama State at Mobile on November 14 for the “Claver Classic”. Clark won from Savannah 45- 8 last year. Savannah State has only played Clark once in a home coming game and was defeated 28-12. This was in 1959. “More important than statis tics.” says Coach Epps, “is the question of personnel injuries,” we should be in good shape for the Savannah game. It should be an interesting game, because Clark will be doing a lot of passing. “We have a good first unit with some developing reserves, but in general our depth is as good or better than it was last year. If we can go through the season with out side-lining injuries, we have a chance for a good season.” Annual SGA Retreat; Co-ed Elected President THE SGA RETREAT—A group of students and faculty members spent a week end at Lake Allatoona to plan activities for the coming school year.
