with John Tarleton was plenty
rough. We played our best game
with the H. S. U. Frosh. The Deca-
tur boys got as rough as the Tarleton
boys however and they were plenty
determined to win.' . ...
J. D. McGILL—
Those boys from John Tarleton
were really rough alright but the
Decatur boys got rougher! The most
determined boys to win that I aver
saw. Our best game was Hillsboro.
CONNIE3 JONES— . .. ’ .
Well those guys from Decatur
were rough and tough. That game
with Johan Tarleton was mild com-
pared to it. Our best game was with
H. S. U. Those Decatur guys would
stomp you if they could get by with
it. . .. .j '■ -
BILL HUDSPETH— -. - r
Man those boys from John Tarle-
ton got as rough as they could. The
Decatur bunch were rough alright,
but they didn’t hit as hard as the
Johan Tarleton boys. Our best game

Those boys from Decatur may

Carrie Neal, what is this we hear
about R. T. Kelley and .Monday
night? Could that be the beginning
of another romance?
Lloyd Todd, a Texas Aggie, seems
to be getting a lot of attention from
Alta King. What will her W. C. boy
friends think?
All the Thalians are sorry to hear
that Sarah Lillian isn’t going to be
with us any more. S. L. we are all
going to miss you and all the nice
things you are always doing. Be
sweet to R. O. H.
We wonder why Olivia Latimer
wanted the Aggies to win the foot-
ball game. Could she know some
interesting person, there?

What is Dee doing calling Mar-

The two Misses Jones, Joyces and
Connie, seem to be doing O. K. At
least they have a date for the foot-
ball banquet. Could it be that they
like the name?
Why is Dennis inquiring about
who Evelyn has a date with for the
football banquet? Could he by any
chance be worried—and why did he
say, “IS know he would be some-
body tall?”
What is this we are hearing about

roughest game that we played was
either Decatur or John Tarleton, al-
though I believe that the John Tar-
leton game was the worse. " •i
DARWIN SHIPMAN—
Say if that game with John Tarle-
ton was put with the game against
Decatur it would look like a tea
party. I believe that we played our
best game with H. S. U. • ■ "
FREDDY COX—
That game with John Tarleton Was
plenty rough, and so was the De-
catur game. Our best game was with
H. S. U. Frosh. . -
JIGGS JOHNSTON—
Well that game with Decatur was
rough and tough. The John Tarleton
boys hit harder however. I believe
we played our best game with either
H. S. U. or Hillsboro. .
Judging from, the information re-
ceived from the football boys here
we can see that the games with De-
catur and John Tarleton were the
two roughest games that the Coyotes
had this year. Some of the boys be-
lieved that the Decatur boys "got
rougher and some of the other ones
believed that the John Tarleton
bunch were rougher, so it must now
be presumed that they both were
rough as they could be. Most of the
boys thought that the Coyotes play-
ed their best game of the season
when they defeated the H. S. U.
Frosh 19-20 on October 18. Some of
the other boys believed that they
did their best against Hillsboro.
FLASH! Confirmed reports have
just reached the C; N. S: that Jearl
Walker entertained a young lad in
his apartment Nov. 20th. Since he
has had 3 visit from her, one time
she brought along a girl friend in
a highpowered car—this will stand
a little investigation. (It’s his cousin)
The Weatherford College gymna-
sium is now being sanded for the
opening of basket ball season to
start in a few days. The sanding be-
gan November 21st and is expected
to last about ten days.
The gymnasium floor had been
used for a skating rink last spring
and summer and was slightly rough
to play on. The floor is comparative-
ly new and will be as good as new as
soon as the sanding is finished. The
sanding machines are being furnish-'
ed by Mr. Bell of Dallas, the father
of Mattie Bell, S. M. U.’s famous
coach.
Some difficulty was encountered
in the running of the machines at
first when the electric lines could
not stand the load that was put on
them. Consequently new lines had
to be run from the front of the gym-
nasium and the difficulty was cor-
rected.
Coach Rutledge stated that the
complete job would take about two
weeks. The complete job however is
the sanding and the varnishing to-
gether. Coach Rutledge also stated
that the complete job would leave
the gym floor as smooth as glass and
that basket ball games could be
played on the flor as easy as a new
floor.
The sanding contract is held by
Mr. Bell, who had charge of the
sanding of the floors of the college
just before school started. The col-
lege floor was much harder to sand
than the gymnasium floor the su-
pervisor remarked because the floor
in the college was soft wood while
the gymnasium is hard wood.
After the job is finished the bas-
ket ball practice wil istart in earnest
for the boys. The new floors will not
splinter, this is very important in
playing basket ball, and wil lalso be
much easier for the players to stand
on. ! 1" 1 ;
The reparing of the- gym floor is
bringing a new spirit into W. C. It,
is the beginning of the basket ball
season. For the last two weeks a
crew of boys have been working all
day and night to complete the gym
for use before the season gets under-
way. ; .
■ :;do.
The basket ball team will practice
on the High School Gymnasium
floor during the reconditioning of
the gym. The W. C. Coyotes have
played one pre-season game with a
victory of 21 to 10 over the Perrin
Independents.
The boys that have reported for
practice are forwards, Charles Bel-
cher, Lowell Brumley, Kenneth Neil,
and Aubrey McCowan; Guards, Leon
Lusk, Charley Booz, Willard Sutton,
M. W. Bell; centers, Everett Wheel-
er, Loren Webb and Warren Cris-
well.
Curtis Land is not able to play at
his guard position but will be the
manager of the team.
The student body is looking for-
ward to a very successful year. Bas-
ket ball seems to have been mislaid
by the fans. Let’s all get behind the
Coyotes during this ’41-’42 season
and boost the team to the champion-,
ship.

Coyote interviewer among the foot-
ball team to determine the best
game of the season, the roughest
and the hardest fought.
COACH RUTLEDGE—
I think that we made our best
showing in the game with the H. S.
U. Frosh. We played that game as all
should have been played. We also
made a good showing against Hills-
boro. Decatur was the roughest
game and the hardest fought al-
though the Indians didn’t hit as hard,
as the J. T. A. C. boys.
ROBERT FAIN—
Our best showing was against
the H. S. U. Frosh. John Tarleton
hit harder thanan y of the teams
that we fought, but Decatur really
got rough.
VELTON GILLILAND—
Well we really showed our stuff
against the H. S. U. Frosh. John
Tarleton got rougher and hit harder
than any team that we fought. De-
catur was a very determined team.
JAKE BONDS—
We did our best against H. S. U.
Decatur got rougher than any team
that we fought. John Tarleton was a
hard fighting team.
WAYNE LAIRD—
Those John Tarleton boys really
got rough down close to the goal
line. Those boys seemed to have the
fighting spirit that it took to win.
Our best fought game was that game
with H. S. U.
MARVIN SWOFFORD—
The roughest game was with the
Decatur Indians. The John Tarleton
boys really got rough but the boys
from Decatur got rougher. We play-
ed our best game with H. S. U.
Frosh.
DALTON CRISWELL—That game
goal line several times but the strong
Coyote line held in every case but
once. The game as far as statistics
are concerned was rather close. The
Indians turned up with 11 first
downs while the Coyotes only gained
10. In spite of the statistics however
the Coyotes came out on top of a
13-7 decision, in the third conference
game of the season.
The game with the H. S. U. Frosh,
October 18, turned out to be pro-
bably the best showing of the Coy-
otes during the entire football sea-
son. The Coyotes, according to all
indications, should have been de-
feated by the H. S. U. Frosh, but
won 20-19. The homecoming exes
were on hand to enjoy the thrills
along with the regular host of W. C.
students. The Hardin-Simmons Frosh
scored the first running play of the
game when Mobley drove over right
tackle and broke loose for sixty-five
yards. The kick for the extra point
was wide.. Laird, with line plunges
drove 62 yards during the second
quarter and finally went over the
double stripe from the 4 yard line.
Lloyd kicked with Cox holding and
added the extra point. The Coyotes
completed a pass good for 22 yards
and from there Laird plowed
through the center of the line for
the needed one yard. Mobley scored
next for the H. S. U. Frosh, with the
conversion being successful. Carter
drove down the field from the 34
yard line to score for the Coyotes.
Lloyd kicked the conversion which
later proved to be decisive. The
Freshmen received another six
points when Mobley raced over the
double stripe after receiving a pass
from Johnson. The final score was
H. S. U. 19, W. C. 20.
The Coyotes dropped their second
conference loss of the season to the
N. T. A. C. Aggies October 25, when
the, Arlington boys won from the
Coyotes 21-6. Laird had the Aggies
worried several times with his driv-
ing attacks, through the center of the
line. Jake Bonds received a pass
from Ishmael Ford and carried the
ball to the 15 yard line. Laird then
drove for a first down on the Aggies
2 yard line. The next two plays Laird
fell across the line for the score. The
Coyotes received several injuries in
this game. Paddle Fain and Wayne
Laird were the outstanding players
of the game.
The Coyotes invaded the John
Tarleton Plowboys in Stephenville,
November 7th,- only to be defeated
27-6. Although the Coyotes showed
a good passing attack the Plowboys
came out victorious. Tommy Field’s
Plowboys were in good condition for
the struggle and really put up a
good fight. Laird carried the ball
down the field with line plunges to
the two yard line then over. Lloyd’s
attempt at conversion was wide. The
Tarleton boys really seemed to click
during the second half since the
Coyotes were showing signs of wear-
ing out. The final score for the rough
game was 27-6 in favor of the Plow-
boys. The game was unusually rough
as evidenced by the sending in of so
many substitutes for both sides.
The game with San Angelo No-
vember 14 turned out to be a defeat
for the Coyotes. This game has the
Coyotes guessing from the very be-
ginning. The only touchdown for
the Coyotes was made by Laird on
line plunges. The San Angelo team
would strike at one end of the line
one time and the center the next.
Several of the Coyotes best men
were injured during this game,
made the scores even more uneven.
The final score was 33-6, in favor of
San Angelo.
The final game of the season came
when the Coyotes tangled with the
Decatur Indians, November 20. The
write-up on this game is in the sports
section, but a little might be said
about it. The game was perhaps the
roughest of the entire season. The
Coyotes has a disadvantage of hav-
ing many men injured in this game.
The football season is over for this
year but the Coyotes will be back
next year with several good letter-
men to carry on the fight. All indi-
cations point to a successful year
next fall when the Coyotes hit the
field under the leadership of Coach
Rutledge.

It tried to rain us out—did it? No!
After much talk by the fairer sex as
a whole, some sweet young thing
suggested that all the girl’s names
who didn’t rate one of those things
be put in a hat for the strong silent
ones to draw from—we did—and
how! .
Then we started, thanks to an
agreeable trucker who answers to
the name of Weldon Jordan—the
“or” pronounced as the “or” in
“horse”. Immediately the party
started to get rough when Dennis
Norton—under the influence of a
blow on the head decided he was
becoming bored and took a snort
nap.
Singing?—most aptly furnisned by
that horrid trio: Hyle Doss, basso
prof undo; Harold (M. for Martin)
Owen singing somewhere between
first tenor and baritone; and Sandy
Belcher who just sang.
Upon our arrival at the city of
Dennis the cry for food began to
spread like wildfire, but to our dis-
may the food was in Weatherford.
So—we came back to Weatherford,
a la heights and ate until we were
full to capacity. Then we journeyed
back to the administration building
where the hails and farewells were
said—that is some of them were said
there if you get what I mean.
Oh! yes one thing more, for the
information of the remainder of the
faculty we-Were ably sponsored by
Miss Burns—Thanks a lot, Miss
