stated further, “because so many

When asked, Mr. Love explained
his view of young people making
their own decisions in regard to voca-
tion.
“In one way,” he said, “I am in
favor of the idea, but young people,
in choosing their vocation, should
not take in too much territory.

example, “there are thousands of

dropped over the field just before
the teams went into action.
From 1923 to the present time the
other junior colleges have looked to-
ward W. C. as the supreme test of
their ability on the grid. If Weath-
erford if beaten they have a very
good chance of taking the crown.

The initiation started about 6 :3 0 p.
m. with a well formed march around
the square. The worst part being
that the girls only wore hose on their
feet. It was real interesting to see
those plebes slide on banana peels,
etc., that were on the walks. After
completing the square, they were al-

had been filled with cracker crumbs
to make them more comfortable.

It was back in 1923 that Weather-
ford College first began to show the
world that she was on the map in
football by being runner-up for the
state junior college crown. There
were only eleven who came out for
squad that year, but those eleven
achieved an enviable record.
Again, in 1927, the W. C. team
tied Rusk Junior College for the
championship. In 1928 and ’29, the
Coyotes were runners-up for the
title. The first, in ’28, was played in
Weatherford, against Wesley; the
second was played in Cisco, against
Randolph Junior College. Both sea-
sons found Weatherford showing an
almost clean pair of heels to all
teams up to the final game.
This year, the Coyotes defeated all
competitors and then, in the last
game, took Texas Military College at

It is little wonder that the Coyotes
played such a good game Friday,
December 5, with such inducements
as Weatherford merchants offered
them. The outstanding W. C. line-
man received a new hat from Bow-
den’s Department Store. Walker was
the proud recipent of this award,
although he drew for the prize, since
all the men played an outstanding
game. Those who drew were Lott,
