Acknowledging that he
probably will not return to
America until the summer of

chances of getting an overseas

possible had it not been for the
efforts of his former coach Mr.
Ernest Tolbert. The touring
ballplayer explained that it was
Tolbert who exposed him to
“the right people” and helped
to develop him into a better

JESSE OWENS
KANSAS CITY - Former
Olympic great Jesse Owens has
been named winner of the
National Collegiate Athletic
Association’s prestigious
Theodore Roosevelt Award.
Owens will be presented the
award at the NCAA’s honors
luncheon Jan. 8, 1974 during
PAINE LIONS'. This Could Be The Year!
Although the air is still being
filled with footballs on most
autumn weeks, the sounds of
the “hardwood sport” can now
be heard echoing from the
Paine gym. Coach Ernest
Tolbert’s Lions are readying
themselves for another season.
The season tip-off is less than
the association’s 68th annual
convention in San Francisco.
The “Teddy” award is the
highest honor bestowed by the
NCAA and is given each year
to a prominent American “for
whom competitive athletics in
college and attention to
physical well-being thereafter
one week away on November
14 when the Lions open at
home against Vorhees College
of Denmark, South Carolina.
The Lions have experienced
little success in recent years
but indications are that the
73-74 season might bring the
sweet taste of victory
frequently into the “Lions’
Den”.
Tolbert expressed similar
sentiments. “Our chances look
much better this year,” the
coach said. All of last year’s
starters will return except for
the departed Edward Maner.
The returnees include high
scoring guard Lester Paige who
ranked eighth in the nation last
year among small college

Second Black
Marine
Comands
Jet Squadron
A Marine Fighter squadron
that became famous in World
War II when there were no
Black Marine aviators is today
commanded by one.
He is Lt. Col. Clarence L.
Davis, who joined the Navy 20
years ago to pay his way
through medical school. Davis
learned to fly, became a Marine
aviator and has been flying ever
since.
The squadron is VMA-214,
known as the “Blacksheep”.
Sixteen A4M “Skyhawk” jet
fighters are assigned to it at the
El Toro Marine Corps Air
Station near Santa Ana, Calif.
Lt. Col. Davis thus became
the second Black officer to
command a tactical Marine
squadron. The first, Lt. Col.
Frank Peterson, commanded a
Phantom squadron in Vietnam.
Davis saw action in Vietnam
as a helicoter pilot, winning the
Distinquished Flying Cross and
20 air medals. Twice his
gunship was shot down as he
supported American,
Vietnamese and Korean troops
in 1968 and 1969.
His intellectual interests are
as widespread as his flying
experience. Lt. Col. Davis is a
trained chemist and an
experienced data processing
officer. He has flown
approximately 2,500 hours in
jets, 1,000 hours in
propellar-driven fixed-wing

LT. COL. CLARENCE L. DAVIS
aircratt and 400 hours in
helicopters, including 400
combat missions. He also has
completed jump school.
Known as “Clancy” to
friends and comrades in the air,
he has become an expert chef
in spare hours, specializing in
seafood, steaks and soul
cooking at his home in Tustin,
Calif.
Born in Ville Platt, La., and
raised in Galveston, Tex., Davis
attended Texas Southern
University for three years,
studying pharmaceutical
sciences. He completed his
undergraduate education in
chemistry at Chapman College
in Orange, Calif., under the
Marine Corps degree
completion program. e is
currently working towards a
Master’sdegree in system
management at the University
of Southern California and is a
member of the Kappa Alpha
Psi Fraternity -- Los Angeles
Alumni Chapter.
He was assigned as data
processing officer for the 3rd
Marine Aircraft Wing at El
Toro in 1967 and for the 2nd
Marine Aircraft Wing at Cherry
Point, N.C., as data systems
officer in 1969.
At willow Grove, Pa., he
helped plan and conduct the
training of reserve pilots in the
F-8K Crusader and the A7M
Skyhawk. In his last
assignment as operations
officer for Marine Aircraft
Group 13, he watched over the
activities of four jet
squadrons, including about 50
aircraft and 1,500 men. There
are under his present command
25 pilots, five aviation ground
officers and 190 enlisted men.
Lt. Col. Davis often
encourages minority students
to consider careers as Marine
pilots.
‘ ‘The most important
things,” he recommends to
them in the way of
preparation, “is getting enough
math, English, and physical
science. Desire is the next step.
Then hould come a flight. Get
into the air.”
Davis believes there is no
better way to become a pilot,
get a college education and
serve your country than by
participating in the NROTC or
Marine Corps Platoon Leader
Class for Aviation programs.
“The Marine Corps will even
pay for you to go to private
classes to get a civilian pilot’s
license if you’re still in college
and want to start flying before
your Marine air training,” he
says. “Marine recruiters and
officer selection officers can
provide further details of these
programs,” he adds.
His parents, Walter and
Lillius Davis, live in San
Francisco. He has two children,
Tyra and Ronald, who are 16
and 15, respectively.
