'r "BUTt'II"-
KNOW YOUR BILLIES
Thli has been a definitely dead
week bb far aa sport activities
have been concerner. so don't
blame ui to much if the sport page
is mostly adds and filler or hus
it become such a custom that you
won't notice it? Seriously though
when you Just plain don't have any-
thing to write about it's hard to
think of enough things to say to
fill up a page.
The final results of our football
team were lousy to .say the least.
But the prospects for the coming
year have definitely taken an up-
swing. Out of the 17 lettermen
on this year 14 will be here for
nest year's contests. That's quite
a contrast when Just beside thu
three who certainly did more thun
their part in the past season who
were left from last year. Beside
this the tentative schedule for
next year will feature a few not-so-hard
games at the first of the
season. If we do; and there's no
reason why we shouldn't; win
those; there is no reason to believe
that the season should not be more
of a success than the one we've
Just survived. A few wins at the
first of the season works miracles
with the gate receipts to say noth-
ing of the effect upon the spirit
uf the team as a whole.
The Suuarc-DunuInK Class un-
der tin; direction of Carl Scliult.
of the local U. S. 0 has pomponcd
its scinl-wcckly meetings tit the
gym until after the ChrlHtiuuH holi-
days. Some of the Imskctbull luds
huvo been In a bit better shape
lately due no doubt to the fact
that they haven't been exerting
themselves by do-Hi-doing and
swing your pnrdnerliiK before practice.
14 LETTERMEN BACK
AT BAKER IN '42
Wednesday afternoon the Ullllc
cagci'H scrimmaged a team from
Co. !' 143rd Infantry of Cump
Howie. Coach Stephens used only
seven players in the entile game;
with Mo Utley and B. J. Hay in
the forward position Tonnle Sinlth-
ers ut center und Hay Ward and
Klaxiu Lewallen in the guard slots.
The biibstitutlous were Mttynunl
White for Kay und .Mike Akey for
Ward. While the lads still lucked
that .'ndlflnitable something -that
certain snap und sparkle thut
shows in top teams the boys arc
dlspla.vliiK a brand of basketball
that will go far this year oven If
they don't lnipioe. However It's
a aare bet thu- they will get bet-
ter u.i they t;o and by the begin-
ning of tlu coiitot ctce gumes they
should have one of those super
combinations.
T0N.N1K S.MITHKKS
That tall brunette fellow on our
basketball lineup Is the sophomore
Tonnle Sinlthers who halls from
Dennis Texas. .Nineteen years old
Tonnle played basketball III Dennis
High School three years and suc-
ceeded in lettering each year. He
also lettered in Daniel Maker last
season. Sinlthers says that he en-
Joys playing baseball as well as
basketball. This lad Is well over
six feet tall and weighs one bun-
dled und sixty-nine pounds Tonnle
takes his workouts seriously and
slays In excellent condition by con-
stant ami strict training. In his
spare time Sinlthers finds occasion
to entertain .Miss Bobbie Buntin
who woiks at Montgomery Ward.
Hut titer's always u possibility that
otit-of-school courting will yield
to this "home-defense" work so
the Baker lassies shouldn't give
up.

MAJOR BOWL GAMES
When Texas Christian's Horned
Frogs accepted the Invitation to
play Georgia in the Orange Bowl
on New Year's Day the nation's
four major bowl games were com
pleted. Selections find several old
reliables in bowl competition this
year and several teams that have
had more than one defeat. Du-
quesne an untied and unbeaten
team was left completely out of
major assignments.
Rose Bowl always the chief at-
traction in post-seuson gumes finds
Duke's Blue Devils playing ugalnst
Oregon State. Duke lost its only
previous Rose Uume in 1939 to
Southern California at u score of
7-3. Oregon State although beaten
by Washington State and Southern
California won the Pacific Coast
title with seven victories and ran
up 123 points uguinst 3S in nine
games. The Southern Conference
title winner untied and undefeated
in nine games run up 331 points
to 41. This is the nation's best
Bearing record. Tills Is the first
time for Oregon State to play in
the Rose Bowl and was made auto-
matic when Stunford was elimi-
nated by California in a 16-0 up-
set at the same time Oregon State
defeated Oregon 12-7. Oregon State
choBe the Blue Devil's Sunday eve-
ning and they promptly accepted.
This year's Is the best equipped
team on attack of any team Wade
has developed at Durham.
At New Orleans Missouri and
Fordham both of which have play-
ed post-season games before will
meet in the Sugar Bowl. The an-
nouncement was made simultane-
ously from both schools long be-
fore Oregon State's choice of Duke
was made public. Missouri lost
only to Ohio State by a touchdown
in the opener winning the other
eight of Its nine games and the
Big Six championship. The Tigers
collected 226 points to 31. Although
defeated by Pitt Fordham is the
leading independent with seven
victories and eight tries. Both
teams have lost in previous bowl
appearances.
In the Orange Bowl Georgia
plays its first bowl game. The
Bulldogs once tied and once beat-
en won eight out of ten games and
added up 279 points to 54. They fin-
ished only In a tie for second place
In the Southwestern Conference
race. The Horned Frogs are vet-

Next year will find molt of this
years Billies eligible for the '41
season. High hopes are held by all
DBC students and supporters that
this will be the end of Baker's
long streak of losing. Of these sev-
enteen men who lettered only
three are seniors. This leaves four-
teen of the lads with vary good
chances of playing again.
The senior members of the squad
are John Barton back; Egbert
Pate end; and Howard Qaddy
guard. All three of these lettermen
will be missed on the campus as
well us from the football team.
John Burton Is president of the
Student Body Pate captains the
football teum and "Gooch" Qaddy
Is president of the B Association.
Ten of the numeral winners
were Freshmen playing their first
college football this season. The
record of losing which now stands
ut 21 games may perhaps be brok-
en with these ten and the four oth-
er lettermen who are eligible tor
the next campaign.
Coach Stevens began under a
hundlcup starting the year with
little experience In college coach-
ing. Providing the lettermen re-
turn the chances look good for
next year to be the time when luck
changes and puts the Hill Billies
in the upper half of the Tens
Conference. The boys will have
bad one year of college competi-
tion and know what they will have
to go up against.
Freshmen dominate the list of
lettermen. They are: backs John
Barton San Angelo; Swede Reeves
San Angelo; Virgil Poston Level-
land; Ready Caskey Alice; May-
nnrd White Mozelle; Dale Bagley.
San Saba; C. E. Underwood San
Angelo; center Raymond 8xton
Gatesvllle; guards Howard Qad-
dy San 8aba; Kenneth Arrlngton
Levelland; Richard Newton Quaa-
ah; tackles Hoyett Browning
DeBdemona; Nathan Whltte Gates-
vllle; Neal Taylor Levelland; Hal
Denis Nekoosa Wis.; ends Eg-
bert Pate Comanche; Ray Ward
Gatesvllle.
The freshmen in this group are
Arrlngton Dennis Taylor. Sextoa
Newton. Ward Reeves White Pos-
ton and Underwood.
Alumni and all loyal Hill Billies
have their fingers crossed but are
looking forward to next years
gumes with greater optimism that
they have been able to muster la
several years.
