BY GOODVIN ROGERS
Greetings, to the finest hunting
weather this season, and to you who
love to hunt and fish. If any of
you have been dove hunting this
week I know that you will agree
with me when I say that the nor-
ther which struck ole S. U. full
force Monday night really played
havoc with the dove family.
By this, I mean that the strong
north wind has been too much for
doves to fly against; therefore they
are flying very low to the ground
and within good shooting range.
Even though this is an advantage
to the bird hunter it is at the same
time a disadvantage. This, caus-
ing the birds to fly “close,” also
boosts them up several miles an
hour in their flight, making a
hard target but a much more thrill-
ing “kill.”
Several hunters this past week
have reported their limits. Among
these were: Ward Stephenson, who
bagged his limit (we didn’t ask
him how many his limit was),
Johnny Brown and Johnny Hart
who bagged eight respectively.
Many people have reported good
squirrel hunting. If you don't be-
lieve us just ask Houston Penning-
ton. These squirrels are being
killed mostly on the lower San Gab-

BY T. K. SANFORl*
The Pirates did their trav-
eling on a highway last Sat-
urday night and the S. W. S.
T. C. Bobcats did their trav-
eling up and down the foot-
ball field as they plastered a
6-0 defeat on the lads in
black and gold.
A hard charging, hustling for-
ward wall that completely outplay-
ed the Buccaneer’s first line of de-
lense and an aerial attack that met
\*. it h little or no opposition corn-
lined to give Coach Cheaney’s San
Marcos machine a superiority far
greater than the score indicates.
The first half was uneventful as
far as scoring was concerned, but
it was clearly apparent that the
Bobcats were going to be hard to
stop. The Pirate forwards couldn’t
seem to fathom the San Marcos of-
fense and as the Bobcat runners
broke through the line of scrim-
mage, tho linebackers and defen-
sive half backs missed many a tack-
le. Bobcat pass receivers slipped
into the clear almost at will.
Midway in the. third period, a
San Marcos pass connected for the
winning marker, and as the game
drew near a close the Pirates open-
ed up with a desperate last minute
passing attack of their own, which
resulted in their picking up sever-
al first downs. However, the Bob-
cats weren’t to be overtaken and
tlie game ended 6-0.
McMurrey, big center, was the
standout of the game as far as
Southwestern was concerned while
among the host of stars in the San
Marcos line-up, little Ollie Clark
of Taylor was the big thorn in the
sides of the Buccaneers.
First downs were fifteen for
S. W. S. T. C. and seven for South-
western.
Phis Eke Out Sigs
On First Downs,2-0
The Phis just managed to squeeze
a 2-0 win out of the Sigs Wednes-
day afternoon.
The safety occurred when Run-
nels was caught behind the goal
while attempting to put a punt in-
to play. The Sigs threatened once
in the first half, but the Fhis held
on the six and took the ball on
downs.
The Phis went to pieces at the
first of the last half, and the Sigs
began what looked like a drive.
Pi Henderson stopped the drive by
an interception just inside his own
territory.
The teams jockeyed for position
the last quarter, and Wolfe inter-
cepted a Sig pass as the game
closed: Phis-2, Sigs-0.
The starters: Phis—Meyer, Mc-
Leod, Dawson, Tyson, Henderson,
Anderson, Wolfe, Cummings, and
Pitts; Sigs—Edwards, C. Wolfe,
Oogdell, Hodges, Scoggins, Parker,
McLane, Basham, and Runnels.

Barb A’s Smother
Kappa Alphas, 26-6
Hoyt, Jones, And
Robinsoo Play Well
For Barb ‘A’ Team
The Barb A’s took the K. A.’s
Tuesday afternoon to break into
the win column. The Barbs over-
whelmed the K. A.’s 26-6. Taking
advantage of the fact that the
Greeks had only seven men, the
Barbs scored at will
Early in the game, the Barbs
marched up the field on running
plays and Benold carried it over
from the twenty on an end run.
The extra point * failed. Score,
Barbe-6, K. A.’s-O. The only other
scoring threat in the first half was
when the A’s got the ball on the
10 after Record had blocked a punt
on tho fourth down
The K. A.’s got off to a bang in
the last half and had scored be-
fore the Barbs could set themselv-
es. A pass from Peebles to May
scored. The extra point was no go.
The Barbs came right back and
scored on a pass to Lee. Hender-
son caught the pass for the extra
point. Late in the t111rd quarter
another run by Benold tallied. The
pass for the point was no good.
Score, Barbs-19, K. A.’s-6.
The Barbs scored again In the
last period when a pass to Lee was
good for six points. A pass to
Record netted the extra point. The
final score was 26-6.
Hoyt, Jones, and Captain Robin-
son looked good in the Barb line,
both offensively and defensively.
Harris did some good blocking in
the backfield and Stevens snagged
passes time and time again.
Stone, Mims, and Peebles were
the bright lights of the Greeks.
Lineup: Barbs—Lee, Record,
Hoyt, Jones, Henderson, Robinson,
Benold, Harris, and Stevens; Cham-

With the Intramurals
By Byron Record
The Barb B’s are still running this league., They have
remained inactive this week and should be hot when they
meet their next opponent. 1 believe the secret of their
success is in their long passes. They hardly ever complete
Phis Runs Roughshod
Over Barb A’$,20-0
The Phis overran the Barb A’s
to the tune of 20-0 Thursday af-
ternoon.
The Phi’s got off to a bang
when Meyer touched Robinson be-
hind the goal line for a safety on
the opening kickoff. The Phi’s
came back to score in the second
quarter when Sneed intercepted a
pass on the six. A toss from Wolfe
to Sneed scored, but the extra point
was no good. The half ended 8-0
in the Greek’s favor.
The third period seesawed back
end forth, but a long pass to Meyer
in the early minutes of the last
quarter netted a counter. The ex-
tra point was no go. The last tal-
ly came when Cuinming caught a
pass and ran over the goal. The
score remained 20-0 the rest of the
game.
The starters: Phis—McLeod,
Pitts, Sneed, Roquemore, Ander-
son, Cummings, Meyer, Henderson,
and Wolfe; A’s—I,ee, Jones, Hoyt,
Robertson, Henderson, Champion,
Robinson Stephens, and Benold.

more than their
opponents. With

“chunking” the
pigskin to such
players as Cobb,
Mason, and Mil-
ler, and the line
with Stanaland,
McCall, Patrick,
and Cyceleloff
to hold out the
other line and
drift down for short ones, they
can’t fail.
But behind these high flying
Barbs are the Phis, right on their
heels. After losing to the B’s 6-0
and barely winning from the K.
A.’s they finally hit their stride.
They have downed the A’s 20-0,
and the Sigs have fallen victim to
the Phis. Led by Sneed, the boys
are going to town. Speak of the
Phis, reminds one of the pretty
catch of Rodney Meyer’s that
counted a touch in the Barb A
game. Whether they will manage
to down the B’s in their next en-
counter Is a moot question.
The hardest question for yours
truly to figure out is how the oth-
er teams will come out. Any one
of the teams could hit a winning
streak and give the leader close
competition. The K. A.’s have the
material, but hard luck has kept
them off the winning list. Any
combination with Mims on the re-
ceiving end is good. Too, don’t
forget the nucleus of their line,
Stone at center. The Barb A’s have
a good little team. They have the
potentialities but just can’t get the
boys out. They have several com-
binations that will go. Benold does
the pitching with Henderson and
Lee snagging them. The Sigs are
the question mark of the league.
When you play them anything can
happen.

boys owe “Nigger” a vote of thanks.
One sure way would be not to des-
pute his decisions.
The first rounds of the table ten-
nis tournament are complete! In
the singles, Mims defeated PI Hfen-
derson 21-18, 16-20, 21-19. That
leaves the K. A.’s playing the Sigs,
and the A’s playing B’s for a berth
In the finals. In the doubles com-
petition, Marton and Runnels man-
aged to take Wolfe and Anderson

the Sigs playing the A’s, and the
K. A.’s playing the B’s.

Through your speech and con-

Quoting a passage from one of
Timothy’s letters, Mr. Berqulst ad-

in speech and conduct, for through
them the faith, love, and character
of the individual is revealed.
