The loss was Clark’s second in a row against the University of the South. The score for the other game, played in Sewanee, Tennessee was 5-1. Despite the two losses, Coach Griffith feels the team can have a good season. The most import ant game will be the game against Tuskegee Institute. Tuskegee is the toughest team in Division 3. More house will also be a pow erful opponent. Standouts on the soccer team are Ayd Ipaye, and John Pratt. Both scored goals in the game against the University of the South.

Rough Season Ahead For SIAC Teams By Ron Jenkins Although the SIAC is not well publicized, the com petition and skill is still present. Here is how the top SLAC teams look. BETHUNE-COOK- M AN- - Bethune-Cook- man, the 1973 Division I champions, are rated third in the conference. The tigers will be hard to stop with an almost com plete offensive unit re turning from last year. Bethune-Cookman will not make an appearance in Atlanta this year, but Morris Brown will wrestle them in Daytona Beach Sept. 28. ALBANY STATE-- Among the top contenders for the Division I crown will be Albany State Col lege. Albany State is com ing off a 7 - 3 -1 season with A11-SI AC running back Lester Sherman and tight end John Lester return ing. Gerald Burke, a sen ior quarterback, will lead Albany State along with the help running back James Stancil. FORT VALLEY STATE --Coach Stan Lomax:, Fort Valley State's ten- year man, has a highly rated squad. Fort Valley has claimed the Division II title three of the last four years. Last year Fort Valley took second place behind top ranked Fisk University. FISK UNIVERSITY-- Fisk is number one in the conference and rated number seven in the na tion’s small colleges by Black Collegiate maga zine The Bulldogs could easily win the SIAC again. CLARK COLLEGE-- Here at home, Clark Col lege and Jessie McClardy seem to have the edge over the other center schools. Coach McClardy is in his third year as head coach and he will have 28 players returning of those are All-American James “Blood” Wilson and Pro hopeful Greg McCrary. MOREHOUSE COL LEGE-Across the street, Coach Michael Gray will have a team of inexperi ence with 26sophmores on the team. Gray, a 1 three-year head coach, will look to veterans An drew Hicks and Dwight McCrary to lead the team. MORRIS BROWN COL LEGE--On Hunter) Street will be the less than fero cious Wolverines of Mor ris Brown. Morris Brown had a 1-8-1 season and this year is not too promising. Joe Polite, a former All-Marine, will quarterback the Wolv erines. The highlight of this year ’ s football season should be the game be tween Morris Brown and Morehouse. These two teams have not met on the gridiron in three decades. MBC Faces Powerhouses Morris Brown College has the most difficult schedule among the foot ball teams in the Atlanta University Center. This is not saying that MBC has the best team in the cen ter, but they will be facing such powerhouses as FA Winston Salem, and Tus kegee Institute. Maybe this year the Wolverines can put it all together and produce a better record than last season’s. Morehouse head foot ball coach, Michael Gray ball coach, Michael Gray, said the Tigers will be up against somepower- houses in the SIAC such as Fort Valley, Fisk, Clark, and Morris Brown Col leges. Gray said his team has the potentials of being an excellent football team and producing a 9-0 re cord. But their first game of the season against FV SC has squelched this hope. The Clark College Pan thers have added two more games to their schedule for this season. They will play Federal City of Washington D. C . and Baptist University of Tampa, Florida. Both games will be played a- way. The Panthers head football coaches said, their entire schedule will be tough for them. M c - cardy said Clark’s team has improved since last, year along with other teams that Clark plans to play in football. The team that can hold out during the last quarter of game, will probably be the most successful team said Mc Clardy. What all students are concerned about now is who will be the champion in the AU Center for 1974. The first rivalry begins on October 12 whenMore- houses takes on Morris Brown. The second clash is between Clark and Morehouse on Novem ber 2. The final game is the Annual Thanksgiving Classic between Morris Brown and Clark on No vember 28.
