Cracks at the Crowd
By "Doc"
You have no doubt heard of
Claude Callan the world-wide
humorist who writes the little
column on 'Cracks at the Crowd.
so in reading this don't get the
wrong impression and think that
we have this distinguished man
in our fair city so far the Col-
legian staff have been unable to
land him on the staff because he
thinks he is worth more than we
can pay him.
Spring time is here and also
brought with it a certain amount
of spryncss and gayety which it
hns bestowed upon a few of the
Students who nave so far been
asleep the entire winter mainly
Haskell Miller and Gus Snod
grass. At the present time Has
kell has enough energy to jro out
every day and dub a few golf
balls. While "Sniddy" does not
engage in the so-called sport he
gave his opinion of the game. He
said: "That a person did not
have to be completely insane to
play golf but it sure would help
him" therefore he contends that
Haskell Miller should be a par
golfer. At any rate "Hack" is
a fair golfer he said he shot a
54 the other day on the first nine
holes and blow completely up on
the last nine holes.
We have been authorized to
make the following announce-
ment: "To the Girls of the En-
tire City"
Jack Broad and "No Date"
Davis ai'e planning a picnic for
Feb. 20 1931 and the girls of
this city may begin now thinking
up excuses why they can't go.
Because these two popular lads
are starting next week getting
dates for this picnic. We would
also like to know why Abe likes
ducks with bells on?
We are very sorry to announce
that there has arisen a difficulty
between one Chambers boy and
a girl .with red hair. The trou-
. ikrHo far'ib being kept fionvus.
But we trust that these two will
get together and kinda patch
things up because the student
body is very anxious to find out
the definite trouble.
Freshman Woods said ho vis-
ited the fair city of Brady -last
Sunday and on leaving the city
he kinda felt proud of his own
home town San Saba because ho
thinks the San Saba hotel is just
as nice and good looking as the
Hotel Brady. That's the idea
freshman hold up for your home
town as "Sniddy" praises his
home town "Whan.
Hank Lee says that machinery
is taking the country by storm.
For the past week he has been
one of the audience down where
the new hotel is being built and
watching the steam shovel work.
He said it is a wonderful machine
because it can remove so much
dirt at one snponful.
One heap big chief from Okla-
homa called Mac says that he
has a way with these women. He
says that the way to get over
with them is to pretend that you
are a pretty tough man. He
thinks ho has a way with them
but ho told me personally that
he thought it was the wrong
way. For further information
concerning this matter see All-
corn.
Every one reports that they
had a fair time at school last
Saturday. Miss Craig was absent
from the office that day and the
students had the pleasure of car
rying their fee money around
with them over the week-end.
Josie Richey the girl that all
th eboys say is so different told
some one the other day that she
wished that they would learn
some new songs to sing in cha-
pel. She also suggested that the
school song be changed to "Dwel-
ling In Beulah Land."'
.Pratt Close that is I mean Fat
Close says that in order to ob-
tain "it" in your system you
must be able to have a rather
mean look in your eyes and have
the power to change your face
into any shape. He also said
that Clara Bow would be a great
deal better actress if she had
been born and reared in Cole-
man. 'n Who is this strange and mys-
terious girl that the boys all call
"Gert " we have heard a num-

A representative of the Texas
Power & Light Company visited
in chapel Saturday morning for
tho purpose of presenting the
college with a Texas flag. The
presentation was made through
a letter from headquarters of
tho T. P. & L. The representa-
tive unfurled the flag before the
student body while Dr. Chandler
read the letter after which the
students and the faculty stood in
honor of the flag.
This favor was greatly appre-
ciated by everyone who is con-
nected with the college. In be-
half of the student body and fac-

thanks to the T. P. & L. for
this courtesy.
This flag could be seen flying

MISS POST IN HOSPITAL
Last Monday the students
were all sorry to hear that Miss
Post head of the English depart-
ment was ill. At first it was
thought that she would be back
in a few days but it turned out
that her illness was more seri-
ous and on Friday she was tak-
en to the Medical Arts Hospital.
However we all hope that Miss
Post will be well again and back
in school in a very short time.

party however every girl had a
date. Some of the girls made
quite nice looking boys.
Besides bridge some of the
games played were: "My Ship
bottle and a "Trip Across the
Desert." These games were im-
mensely enjoyed especially as
moy revealed startling facts
about some people.
After the games the Y. W. C.
A. officers for next vear wore
elected. These were as follows:
Sonoma Williams vice presi-
dent; Thelma Long secretary;
Mildred Gifford treasurer; Ten-
cy McGhee reporter; Vesta Mc-

Bright Prospects
for Track Team
Chas. B. Brinkley
Between 20 nnd 2fi ni'un nrp
working out daily in preparation
for the coming track and field
season each afternoon in the Ba-
ker Park. Coaching the Billies
for the second year is Dewey
loungoioofi distance star from
Texas University. Youngblood
learned his runninrr nnrlnt Plvrlo
Littlefield perhaps the South-
wests greatest track star In his
day. Prospects are good enough
but it would hardly be fair to ask
Youngblood to win the T. I. A. A.
track title as in basketball the
T. I. A. A. has the strongest
teams in the State outside the
Southwest Conference.
On hand for his third year is
Captain Ken. Harlow relay man
and distance runners. Harlow
garners enough points in meets
to bring up his side of the score
sheet. Another thvpp. vpnr mnti
is Ed Fanning hurdle was nos
ed out by Jerden of Denton the
120-yard high hurdles for first
honors but Fnnnlno- vnwa ho is
out to trim. Jerden is the High
Timbers this vnnr. His mnrV nf
xzu it. in inc discus lsruive mat
only Travis of A. C. C. boasts a
better.
The other three year man is
Gus Snodgrass the Coleman
comet. Gus does the Century
and forlong and is a fair shot
putter. Snodgrass was injured
in football and maybe handicap-
ped to certain extent in the com-
ing track season.
Edward Dunkin the perfect
quarter-miler. perfect in that he
was undefeated in the quarter
last year shows promise of mak-
ing the T. I. A. A. quarter rec-
ord made in 1915 by Mosher of
Texas A. 3 M. The other Dun-
kin Delbcrt plans to run the two
miles event this year. In Cross
Country last fall he clipped two
seconds off the old record.
George Sullivan is to be con
verted from a miler Into a quar
ter miler this year. He shows
promise of becoming a star relay
man. Sullivan possesses an un-
known amount of fight and en-
durance. This ends the list of letter-
men. From the rank and file of
the new men comes a host of
proven material. Heading the
formidable array is Hugh Rat-
liff sprint star of Brownwood
Hisrh in 1926. Ratliff promises
to become the "dark horse" of
the T. I. A. A. He has already
made marvelous tide in both
snrints. Paul Johnson of Goldth
waite gives indication of being
the best broad lumner In the T.
I. A. A. this season. He has al
ready leaped within ten inches
of Roy Stevens T. I. A. A. rec
ord of 22 ft. 8 in.
Although not a new man Earl
Smith might be classed as such
because leg trouble bothered him
last season. This year he prom-
ises to be a miler of much merit.
In 1928 in Hamilton High Smith
placed second in the half mile
run at the State meet.

SERIES
Board
Geo. M. Sullivan
The traveling battling Billy
basketeers brought to a close
the 1930 season last week-end in
the home gym. In the final
games the Billies split a series
with the San Marcos Bobcats.
On the first occasion the Bil-
lies trimmed their supposedly
superior opponents to the tune
of 20-13. O. B. Chambers came
thrOllffh With ft nninfn fn Mrrfc
scoring honors. The Bobcats led
the score by four points at the
half. This portion of the affray
was fast and closely fought. Un-
usual guarding was the feature
of the play of both teams only
9 points was scored by the oppo-
sition and 5 by the Billies.
The last half was somewhat
different. Extreme guarding was
still the feature but a formid-
able offense on the part of the
Billies brought about the scoring
of 15 points while the Bobcats
only regiastered 4.
Tho linonnnv ornnrrlinop nf Can.
tain Carnahan prevented the
rwDcais star torward from
scratching the first night.
Bobcats Win Second
The second affray was similar
to the first in that it was f eatur-cd-by
-excellent-guarding;" The
Bobcats early took the lead and
were never overtaken. The un-
canny goal shooting of Via elon-
gated forward kept the opposi-
tion in a safe lead at all times.
Capt. Carnahan was high pointer
for the Billies with 8 points all
registered on field goals.
A late rally by the Billies
threatened to overcome the lead
held by the Bobcats but the end
came too soon. By all laws of
average the lead should have
swapped hands in about 5 min-
utes. O. B. Chambers and Car-
nahan had begun to ring the bas-
ket 'with marked regularity. The
score moved from 16 to 25 in a
surprisingly short time.
The Bobcats however had 34
points safely stored away and
the game ended thus.
Season Completed
This closed the season for both
teams. The Bobcats by virtue
of their final win over the Bil-
lies finished .625 per cent in the
Conference title race. The Billies
wre left on the .550 per centage
mark.
Schedule Long and Hard
During the season the Billies
played 20 Association games
the greatest number played by
any T. I. A. A. school. These
games involved two extreme
trips. One to the coast during
the coldest weather that has
swept Texas since 1899. Here
the Billies easily defeated the
Kingsville College team. The fol-
lowing week found them in East
Texas. Here they met three of
as strong teams as the confer-
ence knows playing six games
in as many nights. Two of these
were with the East Texas Lions
according to Pete Cawthorne
Texas' strongest team. Four of
the Billies' twenty games were
with these same Lions.. This
alone is enough to lower the rat-
ing of any team in the confer-
ence. With the largest and toughest
schedule in the Association with
the longest and toughest trips
imaginable with the loss of
three former letter men by grad-
uation and matrimony the Bil-
lies did well to finish with the
record that they have. They
have upheld the athletic tradi-
tions of Daniel Baker. They were
a good team of hard-fighting
clean sports and will be remem-
bered as such by any team who
opposed them in the season of
1930.
