THE RATTLER
CARVER “RATTLER” CAPTAIN
Tom “Buster” Carver, rangy tackle,
was unanimously elected to lead the St.
Mary’s College Rattler foot-ball team of
1925-
Buster immediately won his way in-
to the hearts of the team, students and
faculty by his ever ready smile and will-
ing disposition. His friendliness and cou-
rage have won for him many friends and
admirers.
For three years Buster played re-
gular tackle on the strong Brackenridge
eleven. During the last two years he was
selected all-city tackle. He also played
base-ball for four years at Brackenridge.
The first two years he played the out-
field, the next year he was at first base
and he was transformed into a pitcher
the last year. For three years he played
guard at basket-ball. The third year he
played basket-ball he was captain of the
team. He was selected all-state guard and
was awarded the state sportmanship
medal. He has also played on several in-
dependent teams in and around San
Antonio.
So good luck to you Buster and may
your defeats be few and far between.

THOMAS F. O’DONNELL
Stop ! Look ! Listen! The Rattlers
are about to strike. Beware of the Gold
and Blue warriors. Every evening be-
tween four and six o’clock they can be
seen working hard on the first Division
gridiron. The Rattler gridsters like their
namesakes are to be feared. Head
Coach O'Donnell can assure you they
are dangerous.
Mr. O’Donnell is twenty-four years
old, a six-footer, and weighs a hundred
and eighty pounds. He comes to St.
Mary’s with a reputation which he be-
gan making in the Rosary Catholic High
School of Holyoke, Massachusetts, where
he was captain of the foot-ball and bas-
ket-ball teams. After graduation he went
to Springfield College and there made
his letter in football. Thence he attended
the Illinois University Coaching School
and was a member of the football squad
two years. He received his B. S. Degree
with the Class of ’25. Meanwhile he was
preparing for his profession as a coach
If a student gets to be anything like
his teachers, then Mr. O’Donnell shouid
be a world-beater. He studied football
under such masters as Zuppke of Illinois,
Bearg of Nebraska, Ingwerson of Iowa,
Dobie of Cornell, Roper of Princeton,
Kelly of Harvard and Rockne of Notre
Dame. In basket- ball he had as instruc-
tor Dr. Meanwell’s most famous product,
Craig Ruby. Carl Lungren, of Major
League fame, taught him baseball, whilst
none other than America’s most famous
'—ack coach, Harry Gill was his mento*
in track and fields athletics. In swim-
ming he was under the tutelage of Edwin
Manley of the Illinois Athletic Club He
also studied wrestling and boxing under
famous instructors.
Three rousing cheers for the Coach!
THIRD DIVISION
The Orioles splendid record of last
year, as a Junior Team, averaging about
130 pounds in weight, has all indications
of repeating again this year.
The loss of captain-elect “Buck”
Kallus and the scarcity of players gave
rise to some misgivings during the first
week of training, but these were forgot-
ten with the election of Hector Pelaez,
star half-back of last year, as captain and
the subsequent turning out of new can-
didates.
The squad is composed mostly of
members of last year’s team and quite a
few new-comers.
Several games have been scheduled
and the team, hardened by daily practice
under coach Ray Neumann, is anxious to
meet its first opponents who will most
probably be Alamo Heights High School
second team.
The Orioles showed up well in their
short scrimmage against the St. Mary’s
Academy first string men. Let’s go
Orioles the big team wants to see you on
top.
SCRIMMAGE
The Rattlers downed the strong Fort
Sam Houston team, last year’s army
champs of San Antonio, by a score of 13
to nothing. The game was played on a
heavy field but both teams flashed class.
The Rattlers scored their first touch-
down in the first quarter after Kozelski
intercepted a pass, ran thirty seven yards,
carried the ball five yards more on the
next down and George Nesrsta carried
it the next four yards for a touchdown.
The extra point was not made.
The next touchdown came in the
fourth quarter when Jordt after a series
of good runs broke over the line. Shorty
McCarty received all the kickoffs and
returned them in fine style. Kozelski was
the main ground gainer closely followed
by Heinie Jordt. Nesrsta showed class at
toting the pigskin and also at tackling.
The entire line showed up well. Sunday,
Coleman and Carver were the outstand-
ing tacklers.
