JENS SCORES FIRST TOUCH-
DOWN IN HIS LIFE
AGAINST D. B.
Last Saturday night was a mem-
orable night in the life of nifty
young Bobby Jens, speedy right
half from Hammond, Ind. For last
Saturday night against Daniel
Baker, Jens made the first touch-
down of his football career. Jens,
who is a Freshman at St. Edward’s,
played halfback last year for Ham-
mond High, Indiana State champs.
But his duties consisted mainly in
blocking, and only on four occa-
sions did he ever carry the pig-
skin.
This year things are different
with young Robert Jens. In the
N. D. system, which the Saints are
employing to such a good advan-
. tage, the right half carries the
mail on numerous plays. Thus it
was at Brownwood Saturday. The
fourth period had just started and
the Tigers had driven to the Billie
5-yard line. There, however, Dan-
iel Baker was making a fight to
stave off another score. On two
plays, the Saints lost yardage.
At that point, Coach Pierce shot
Jens into the game and on a com-
plicated bit of magic, Bobby went
over the line standing up for the
second St. Ed’s tally. Tiger sup-
porters are hoping that it won’t
be the last one.
Jimmie Mc-
Loughlin, he of |
the fair hair and
broad smile, out-
smarted all other
indoor quarter-
backs and pulled
a complete upset
by picking cor-
rectly all the win-
ners in the first
ECHO Grid Con-
test of the year.
But take heart,
fellow gamblers, another contest
is on the way.
Elsewhere on the sport page are
listed ten games that will be played
during the coming week. .Check
the team you think will win, or in-
dicate a tie if you think the game
will end that way. The person
picking the greatest number of
games correctly will be awarded
one dollar for his. power of pre-
diction.
Clip the blank from the ECHO
and submit to Edwaird Shaw, con-
test editor, before six o’clock on
Friday, October 28.
This contest is open to all stu-
dents and faculty members.

When basketball season gets
under way Coach Fleming will be
greeted by a number of hopeful
aspirants who will be battling for
starting positions on the ’38-’39
Tiger quintet. Ed has five letter-
men returning from last year’s
team plus a number of new men.
The Hoosier State will be well
represented if the new players from
Indiana live up to their high school
reputations. Then too “Red”
Stoner, who starred on the ’36-’37
five, should make the loss of last
year’s captain Pat Bell less keenly
felt.
Golf Bug Sweeps Campus
The number of students that may be
seen trudging their way to Willow Springs
Golf Course every afternoon indicates that
the golf bug has picked up where it left
off last year. It might indicate also that
more interest may be taken in a golf team
than ever before.
It is true that we had a team last year,
but no one seemed to care much. Even the
boys themselves didn’t seem to have much
interest and few of the students realized
that we had a golf team.
This year we should profit by the experience we acquired
last year. Practice or try outs should be started earlier and
more interest should be shown by the student body as well
as by the golfers. Other schools in the Texas Conference
have golf teams and there is no reason why we shouldn’t.
Here on the campus there is a wealth of material from
which to choose a team and with a little interest we could
have a team that we would be proud to associate with
Saint Edward’s.
Thursday the St. Ed’s Preps en-
tertained the Belton B squad here
at the university and sent them
C home on the short end of every-
j except the hospitality, the
final score tabulating 34-13.
From the opening kick-off, when
the ball was carried down to the
opponents’ 25-yard line on a hid-
den ball play, the entire game was
dominated by the aggressive Cubs.
Time aftei’ time Preps sent their
heavy backs crashing into the line
for huge gains, and when the Bel-
ton defense tightened, passes found
theii’ receivers. Late in the second
quarter the visitors came to life
and in seven plays drove to a touch-
down. They repeated in the third
quarter, when the Prep reserves
were in, to bolster their total to
13, yet after this they were unable
to dent the Cub line.
The outstanding feature of the
light Belton team was their fight-
ing spirit. Heavily outweighed and
in some instances much younger,
they rose again and again to throw
back the Cubs.
The Cubs have a fighting team
and the outfit is well balanced.
There is no doubt that it could
hold its own with several of the
local high schools. Several of the
players will, in time, be varsity
gt material and when spring practice
"VQ’olls around it should find them out
for varsity berths.
Credit is due Coach Grimes, who
has slowly brought them around
to be one of the best balanced clubs
to represent the Preps, in many
years.
It took St. Edward’s powerful
Tigers one whole half to figure a
way to penetrate a stout Lamar
defence, but once they secured the
combination, the Austin power
4 opened the door to the promised
land in no uncertain terms. Leo
Ermis, young jitterbug halfback
who likes to fade far back before
he throws his passes, found the
range for three bombing expedi-
tions with the result that the
Tigers beat Lamar 14-0 in a well
played tilt at Beaumont.
P*- In a third period drive, Ermis
tossed a long pass to Russ Jensen,
placing the ball in scoring position
on the Lamar twenty line. A line
play failed to gain and Ermis fad-
ed all the way back to mid-field
from where he shot to Goon Rey-
nolds for the first score. Formagus
coolly kicked extra point.
The Tigers followed the same
formula for another score with
Ermis passing to Russ Jensen
over the goal, in the last stanza.
Formagus once more
on the conversion.
Aside from these two scoring
gestures, the game was a see-saw
affair with both Lamar and St.
Ed’s battling between the 30-yard
lines. The Tigers threatened seri-
ously at the opening of the clash
with Goon Reynolds, Louie Woehl
and Ermis taking turns in ripping
off long gains. However, a costly
fumble stopped the threat.
The beefy Tiger forward wall
completely throttled the running
attack of the Cards and Lamar
was forced to rely entirely on the
passing arm of Butch Bando, but
so fiercely was he rushed and so
closely were the receivers blank-
-jBeted by an alert Tiger secondary
that they were never able to get
an offense started.
Al Dowgiello, starting his first
game for the Blue and Gold and
Nick Ruggieri teamed up with
Derdak and Formagus to give the
Saints splendid play in the middle
of the line. At ends, Jensen, Mont-
gomery and Ronspies smashed fast
to smother the passer and smear
running plays.
Still more outstanding was the
play of “Old Man” Mireur at cen-
ter. Mireur was a sentinel on de-
fending against passes and he
backed up the line in a slam-bang
fashion that was a sight to be-
hold.
Starting line-up for St. Ed’s:
Montgomery, Ronspies, ends; Dow-
giello, Ruggieri, tackles; Forma-
gus, Derdak, guards; Newcomb,
center; Stoner, Woehl, Reynolds,
Ermis, backs.
Bob Doetsch, a freshman guard
prospect from South Bend, Indiana,
received his high school coaching
from Ralph Parmenter and Johnny
Wooden, former All-Americans
from Purdue University. Doetsch
is a big husky lad who weighs one
hundred and eighty pounds. He
was a star at Central High School
for three years and captained the
team in his senior year. In his
senior year, Bob received all Con-
ference honors and was awarded
the Carter Cup and the Kiwanis
award designating him as the out-
standing Prep player in the dis-
trict he represented. After being
graduated from school Bob played
with the Studebaker Champions
who went to the quarter finals of
the National Amateur Tournament
in Denver, Colorado. Before they
were eligible to play in the Denver
tourney Studebakers had to win
the championship of both Indiana
and Kentucky.
Another South Bend boy who
should bring joy to the hearts of
Tiger followers is Johnny Vargo
who learned his basketball under
Johnny Howe, forpier All-Amer-
ican from Illinois University. John
was a regular on the Washington
High School quintet in thirty-seven
that went farther in the State
Tournament than any of the other
Eastern Division teams.

and to supply music the school has secured the
ocivivco MX vmv. T______ To top every-
thing off, one of those games commonly called a “natural’’
will take place. Never has a Saint Edward’s team defeateci
a McMurry representative, but this year chances of a vic-
tory seem better than ever. The Tigers will be fighting to
gain their first win over the Indians, while the McMurry
will be hustling to keep their record clean. Nothing has
been left undone by the university and when the Exes
return everything possible will be done to make their visit
a pleasant and enjoyable one.
Coach Fleming has a bright
prospect in Bob Jens a native of
Hammond, Indiana. Bob was a
member of last year’s Hammond
High School team who were run-
ners-up for the Indiana State
Championship. Bob is six feet tall
and tips the scales at one hundred
and seventy pounds. He is reputed
to be one of the best defensive
guards to show at the Butler Field
House last season, which is quite
a blow as the State Finals were
played in that spacious gymnasium.

Coach Fleming Writes New Song Hit
Ed Fleming, coach of the Saint Edward’s basketters, tells
us that this year the Tiger’s cheering section will have a
new song to sing at the games.
The words to this song are entirely Fleming’s own, but
the tune has been taken from a popular song hit of the day.
When sung in unison by a group this little ditty will be very
impressive.
Coach Fleming says that he will not release the complete
song until the week of the first game but he very graciously
let us hear the first line which goes like this:
“A tisket, a tasket, let’s have some more baskets.”
We feel sure that the rest of Mr. Fleming’s song will be
as good as the first line and no doubt will become a favorite
with the student body and the followers of the team.

A Short Blow for the Line
Taking part in major sports and at the same time writing
sports is a very unusual thing. However, at this time I am
glad that this is my position because it offers me a chance
to give our line a blow which they rightly deserve.
In studying the individuals who comprise our line, we
see that they possess those characteristics necessary to
every line man: brawn, speed and fight. They are seven
men who play football because they like the game and
because they like to get in there and mix it when the going
is rough.
To date, although no one man has stood out as a star,
the play of our line has been exceptionally good. The main
reason for this may be attributed to the fact that they can
act as a unit seeking one common end and as individuals
seeking publicity and glory.
Of these seven men comprising the Tigers’ forward wall,
we can say, “As the line goes, so will the team go.”
If in the games to come the line plays the same brand
of good, hard football that they played in the games past,
then Saint Edward’s will be able to enjoy many more vic-
tories. But, if they don’t, then Saint Ed’s men will have to
take a back seat and watch some other school celebrate a
victory that rightly belongs to them.

Contestants Challenge Impartial Decision
Like Mr. Seefeld, this columnist, too, is receiving his fan
mail. Whether it be of a favorable kind, you must be the
judge. I am reprinting it in its entirety.
Mr. Philip Reynolds:
In reference to a pernicious publication in your malicious
column referring to a contest of beauty between “Karloff”
Woehl and “Clark” Kuzmicz, it seems that the inside story
and true facts of this case have been withheld from the
public eye. This letter is being written with the hope that
it will enable the public to overlook the power of the press
(in the hands of such individuals as Goon “Winchell” Rey-
nolds) and receive honest judgment on this dispute. The
encroachment of Goon Reynolds depreciated heavily from
the true beauty of this contest. You (Goon), because of
your hopeless profile and obnoxious “puss,” can never in
your fondest dreams hope to obtain the heights now monopo-
lized by the Yankee Adonis. With the elimination of the
self-injected Reynolds the contest narrows down to the
two rightful contestants “Karloff” and “Gable.” With every
angle studied, every line discussed, every feature analyzed
without a show of favoritism, this unbiased and impartial
decision has been reached—the winner of the title “the most
handsome man on the campus” is Edwin Stanislaus ‘ Gable
Kuzmicz. Woehl need not be unduly discouraged as he was
merely beaten by a nose (in actual measurements | inch m
width and | inch in length). In consolation he still has it
over one Yankee by the name of “Duke.”
I thank you for your consideration, and respect you for
your display of excellent judgment in publishing this letter.
Thank you.
