the check read $25.
This was the spirit of the other busi-

eration- that made it possible for the
Student Council to announce to the
public and to the student body in Gen-
eral Assembly yesterday, that the drive
had really gone over and the goal of
$1000 cash had been reached.
We wish to thank the merchants of
San Marcos who have the welfare of
the school athletics at heart, and who
have so generously helped in the build-
ing of this new gymnasium.
Students, the merchants stood by
you, now we say, stand by them. BUY
IT IN SAN MARCOS.
PEP RALLY PROVES
SNAPPY SUCCESS
THE SUBSTITUTE
It’s mighty hard to write the feel-
ings of the fellow on the bench. I’ve
tried to wwite feelings in poetry and
cannot, so I will scribble it down in
prose.
I’m beginning' the season on the
bench and I’ll finish it there also be-
cause I’m just a .plain old sub. And
let me tell you it’s hell to be a sub
and sit there time after time and not
be able to do anything but sit, and
look, and hope. You have to come out
every day for the team—can’t do
fiCidnd«ssaaif to busi- Without you—but you never get to do
anything unless a someone gets crip-
pled. You look at the coach longing-
ly ■ every time some one pulls a bone
ness to the business manager.

The question of a year book has al-
ready been discussed in these columns
but there seems not to have been too
much enthusiasm aroused over the
matter. It has been, and always will
be the custom of all leading colleges
and universities and even some high
schools to put out a creditable annual,
commemorating the year’s work. In
the past the student body of the South-
west Texas Teachers College has pub-
lished a year, book but frequently the
financial end of the undertaking has
not been satisfactory. With the large
student body of this institution, it
should be a comparative easy matter
to launch a scheme for financing the
annual. Last year only 360 students
out of a possible nine hundred sub-
scribed for the book. Consequently
the cost per book was high, thus com-
pelling the students who were sub-
scribing, to bear most of the burden.
It has been rumored that if the stu-
dent body cannot back the staff of the
Pedagog, there should be no year book
this year. This statement is true and
made with considerable forethought.
That is only a suggestion but it does
not mean that the business of putting
out the Pedagog of 1923-24 will be
disregarded. It means that it is time
for the students to realize the serious-
ness of the situation and make a su-
preme effort to put the system on a
sound financial basis. As a remedy
for the situation, it was suggested
that part of the funds for financing
the Pedagog be paid in connection with
the blanket tax. As tha t rule, if passed,
would not go into effect until next
year, it rests with the student body
to put over some plan at once. Time
is a valuable item in such cases, for,
in order to get the best prices and ^ ^UWd.iu wu amnc anu u*aS >vuU.
services the work should have already j there’s nothing to fear and when noth-
but when you do get a chance you
are so surprised that you are liable
to shoot a goal for the other team be-
fore you realize what you’re doing.
You get to warm up with the rest
of the squad, and then you get to
warm the bench for the rest of the
time. You just sit there with a blan-
ket around you, (good old blanket.
Many a weary sport have you cover-
ed up), and what the gang lose and
the next day everyone wants to know
why YOU lost the game. But when
a victory rolls around you are just
an insignificant sub and a few of the
regulars get the glory.
Sometimes you feel as if you were
not being given a square deal, of
course in some cases this is true and
some it is not. You hold a grudge
against the world, mostly Coach, be-
cause you don’t get to play. Then
you think, “What would a team do
without me?” There is no glory for
you except the consolation that you
have tried, and it is better to have
tried and failed than not to have tried
at all. It’s hard luck, but you started
out and one has to be a good sport
and not a quitter; you just have to
stick.
The Sub knows he did his best,
having left the table many times with
out sufficient food to make him feel
good, because he wanted to be in
training for his probable duty of the
field. And he knows that he got cold
water to bathe in most of the time
when it went stupendously against
the grain.
He is ready if he is needed. He has
done his best, so what else counts?
Yes, it’s Hell to be a Sub, but some-
one has to be and why not you? You
are already accustomed to it Mr. Sub.
A coward can smile and brag when
FRANK jVANCE
Even before the beginning of th
training camp, Frank Vance reported
to get acquainted with College Heights
and its surroundings. j
Frank came to us from the Device
High School where he was under the
able coaching of an ex-Bobcat, Erwjm
Soyars. He was easily the star of his
High School teams and promises j.o
live up to his previous record durijng
the coming years with the Bobcats.
Although this is Frank’s first year in
College football, he has shown excep-
tional ability in the art of plunging,the
line. In the first few games of the pea-
son, he seemed not to have found; his
stride in this particular phase of! the
game, but in the recent contests he has
been in a class by himself. It wap due
to this Devine lad’s line plunging that
started the Bobcat team on its way to
victory in the Commerce game. In the
Howard Payne game he again proved
the class of the day in his powerful
thrusts at the, Yellow Jacket line. The
second touchdoiwn scored against the
Howard Payne team was made pos-
sible by the consistent gains by Vance
through the line. Not only in the of-
frense is Vance good, but backing' the
line when on the defense is his spec-
ialty. Half back on the offense and
fullback on the defense is the combin-
ation that Coach Strahan is using to
utilize this Bobcat’s abilities. He
weighs around the 190 mark and a fast
charge is emphasized in the above
statements as to his plunging abilitv.
Frank not only is one of the most
consistent ground fiainers on Coach
Strahan’s eleven, but he is also a star
on the court and on the diamond. With
three more years to go with the Miar-
oon and Gold,/ Vance has a great ath-
letic career ahead of him.

so alb that did not ajtend the rally
will be able to “stay with the gang”
if they will get a copy of the yells
and learn them.
Every student in the S.W.T.T.C. is
going to be at that game in full re-
galia too. Special Maroon and Gold
caps have Been ordAed for the occa-
sion and will be on sale at the Book
Exchange the Wednesday preceeding
the game and also Thursday a. m. If
you don’t want to feel left out be sure
and buy your cap early and be there

been well under way.
If the Southwest Texas State Tea-
chers Qollege should do such a thing
as not to have an annual, it would be
broadcasting, over the state that there
is no unified spirit here at this col-
lege. For the students not to care
for an annual signifies that they are
only present here to get credit and no
special benefit is anticipated from the
student activities.
The student bodies in the past have
made it a custom here to publish an
annual. All other colleges put out the
year books and if our student body
fails to respond we will be stamped
as lifeless. Above all things we must
have the'conventional year book. From
the present student body of over 900,
we should have a total of about six
<Pr seven hundred subscriptions.
In all probability a meeting of the
students will be called, and the matter
thoroughly investigated. You who are
for the greater S.W.T.T.C. be present
iand make your thoughts known.
MERCHANTS DO THEIR PART
ON THE NEW GYM
Last week there appeared in' these
columns an editorial setting forth the
reasons why the merchants should do
their part in promoting the new gym-
nasium. They were urged to back
this move not only for their own good
but also for the good of the town. The
reason that, up to that time they hadn’t
given much was because they had not
been approached in the right way. The
committee has been the rounds this
week and the response that they re-
ceived from the merchants exceeded
.their most fond expectations. This
'shows that the town people have felt
the spirit of cooperation that is pre-
valent this year at the Teachers Col-
lege and are backing the school in the
right way.
One example of the merchant cooper-
ation will show the general spirit. One
oi the committee went into one of the
business houses of the city and stated
his business to the ‘owner. He had
fixed up a nice little speech for the
gentleman and had his list ready to
show what the rest of the business
firms were giving. But this was not
necessary. Before he could start his
speech the merchant said:
“I’ve been wanting to give that Bob-
cat bunch something for a long time.
Come back to the office and I’ll give
>ou a check.”
“But don’t you want to see what the
rest of the merchants are giving”, ask-
ed our worthy collector. No, the man
didn’t want to see what the others
werp giving, he was too busy writing
out the check. And the real surprise
came when the collector looked at the
ing his progress bars,' but it takes a
MAN to sit up and cheer while the
other fellow stars.
The following verse from the writ-
ings o fthe illustrious George Heath,
may be somewhat encouraging to the
Sub:
“O watch, and fight, and pray;
The battle ne’er give o’er;
Renew it boldly every day,
Arid help divine implore.

II. E.’s MAKE FIELD TRIPS
Wednesday, November 21 the House-
hold Management class (H.E. 13) made
a field trip to San Antonio to see the
latest model home. Those making the
trip were the Misses Verna Phillips,
Eula Littleton, Elsie Smith,. Non Doug-
las, McGaughy, Mrs. Cowan and Misses
McCrery, Caver and Moore.
The Home Economics club arranged
an interesting and instructive field trip
to New Braunfels last Monday after-
noon for the entire H. E. department.
There were about one hundred and
fifteen made the trip including the H.E.
faculty consisting of Misses Lay, Mc-
Crery, Evans, Boyce, Langford and
Caver. The new Blue Bonnet gingham
mills was first visited and each one
present was asked to write her name
in their guest book. The party was
divided into five groups and each one
being provided with a guide was shown
through each of the different processes
ir. the manufacture of cloth from bale
breaking to the finished gingham in-
spected and stamped. As each group
finished, it was taken to the' flour mill.
Twenty at a time, were shown through
the mill with explanations of the pro-
cess of making flour. At both mills
the department was cordially welcom-
ed and all means of interest and cour-
tesy shown. After this the party went
to Lauda’s park where a picnic sup-
per consisting of ham sandwiches, pea-
nut butter and banana sandwich salad,
and tomatoes, pickles, cakes and apples
were served and enjoyed by all.
RAYMOND OAVNESS
Raymond Cavness, the heady general
of the Bobcat machine, is no stranger
to San Marcos football fans. He has
lived in San Marcos for a number of
years and has been a student at the
College most all of his life. He came
to the College by way of the Training
School. This is Cavness’ first year as
a regular on the Bobcat machine. He
spent the season of 1920 as an able
reserve man for the eleven of that year.
During the seasons of 1921 and ’22, he
was absent to the squad a-s he put out
a formiahle high school team at Donna.
Cavness reported to the training
camp in September with a grim deter-
mination to win for himself a perm-
anent berth on the Bobcat eleven and
this he has accomplished by his charac-
teristic' fight. Cavness first was. placed
in the. pivot position to fill the vacancy-
left by Hildreth. He performed well
in that role during the first two games
cf the season but since has been shifted
to the backfield. Here he seems to have
found himself. Although not noted for
exceptional speed, the consistency with
which he hits the line has been a
great asset to the Cats. Not only is
he good at this form of offensive play
but when it comes to general ing a
team he seems to have the necessary
resources. Since his advent into the
backfield, the department of interfer-
ence has taken a considerable rise. It
has been due to his accurate passing
that the Bobcats have advanced many
yards.
Cavness has been in the game practi-
cally every minute of the season. Foot-
ball is not Cavness’ only line of ath-
letics, but he is good prospect for
Coach Strahan’s basketeers and also of
Jim Sheffield’s- diamond artists. Next
year should prove a banner year for
Cavness as he is now of Junior stand-
ing.
The German Club met Monday morn-
ing, November 19 in room 20, Educa-
tion building. Much interest and en-
thusiasm was shown. A short program
was given, the subject of which was
Peter Hille, author and poet. The life
of Peter Hille was interestingly told
by Mr. Schulze. A reading was given
by Miss King and a story by Miss Hel-
ler. A short business session aptly
conducted by Miss Leuders, followed.
After a few minutes of “getting ac-
quainted”, the members disbanded.
The next meeting is to consist of a
Christmas program and social at the
home of Dr. Nolle. Those of us who
have been so fortunate as to attend a
similar function already anticipate the
pleasure in store for all.
The members are confident that the
organization throughout the year will
prove one of profit and pleasure to all.
If Interested, we cordially invite you
to join us. Watch the Star for fur-
ther announcements.

worse than a giraffe with a stiff neck?”
Martha: “Yes, sir.”
Smith: “What?”
Martha: “A- centipede with corns.”

HENRY KALLINA
Plenry Kallina is another one of the
products of Pete Shand’s Lobo team of
last year. He is living up to the
name made famous in athletic circles
by his big brother Ed. Last year Hen-
ry played a star role at tackle for the
fast Lobo team but this year he has
proved a star in every Bobcat game
at the guard position. Though of a
rather small statue, Plenry weighs 170
pounds and makes every ounce count.
From the beginning of the training
camp, Henry has been holding down
the guard position and in every game
the opponents point him out as the
man who is mussing their plays. Henry
is one of those consistent players who
are always breaking through and
throwing' the opposing backs for los-
ses. No one seems to know where he
comes from but the men fall just the
same.
It was Henry Kallina’s good work
in the Southwestern game that caused
many of their plays to be ground
gainers for us. Throughout the game
the Pirate men were pointing Henry
out as the dangerous man in the line.
Henry with ten other men on the
Bobcat squad are experiencing their
first year under the Maroon and Gold.
With three more years ahead of them
they will do great things for the Col-
lege.
Besides being a stalwark in the
Bobcat line, Little Kallina is expected
to show the same stuff this year with
Coach Sheffield’s nine, that he did
last year on Shand’s Lobo swatters.
Owing to an, injury in practice, Henry
will be out of the game this after-
noon at Brownwood. His absence will
be sorely felt.
