Top of the morning to you
all!! (Yeah I know that I stole
someone's line but I don't know
whose so I won't put it In quo-
tations.) Ran through that one in a
hurry didn't we? Guess we're
all ton much like this March
wind too full of wind!!
That basketball game last
week with the Crowcll All Starr
was really a thriller. Our team
was In good form but it just
seemed as everything in general
and luck in particular was
against them.
We really regret to see the end
of the season because those
games win or lose have meant
a lot to all of us.
Our basketball boys have
worked hard they've never let
down for a moment. Wo might
say "thanks for the entertain-
ment boys." But it was more
than entertainment it was fun
it was work it was Howard
Payne spirit in the flesh!! You
Jackets were responsible for it
all. A mere thanks is not
enough but will you accept it
fellows?

resignation of Coach McAdoo

given his answer but informed

Cheancy's Yellow Jacket
teams from 1926 to 1934 scored
some of the school's most vot-
able gridiron victories. He first
came to Howard Payne in 1920
after coaching at San Marcos
Academy. In 1928 he brought
his assistant at San Marcos Mc-
Adoo Keaton to Howard Payne
as his assistant here. The two
men worked together until 1934
when Cheaney left to take the
head coaching job at Southwest
Texas State.
In 1934 Keaton became head
coach and remained so until
athletic activities were discon-
tinued because of the war. Dur-
ing this time the Yellow Jackets
won five Texas Conference
championships in 1923 '29 '30
and '34. In 1931 the Jackets were
co-champs with Simmons Uni-
versity. In the 1933 season the
Jackets were runnerups to St.
Edwards.
Keaton accepted a position as
assistant football coach and
head track coacli at Southern
Methodist University in Dallas.
He had been back in Brownwood
since January 1 and was pre-
paring for spring grid workouts
at Howard Payne next month
when he announced his resigna-
tion. M. M. (Barney) Hale will re-

For "loudest" we will give you

to guess; you know it's Wyatt
Graves and Jimmy Allen.
If you are ever lonesome and
need someone to talk to look up

"Brilliant conversationalists."
There you have it. The Jour-
