Pirates Open 1940 Season
Against Mountaineers
Corsairs Leave
Early Thursday
After readying his team for two-
wee kjj, Coach Med Medley and his
Southwestern University Pirates
will leave here Thursday enroute
tor Kerrville where they open their
1D40 tootball schedule Friday night
against the strong Schreiner Insti-
tute Mountaineers.
The Pirates will taper-off and go
through limbering up drills on the
Kerrville field Thursday afternoon.
With the exception of a few min-
or injuries the Pirates seem to be
in good physical condition for the
encounter.
The Mountaineers won the State
Junior College Conference title last
season by defeating Marshall Jun-
ior college 7-0.
Scanning the weights of both
teams shows that there will be
equal distribution in that division.
Each eleven will take the field at
approximately 185 pounds per man.
Coach Medley has been experi-
menting with several positions since
the Pirates opened camp and will
not know definitely just who will
take the lstarting position unti
game time. Medley will depend on
his 16 lettermen—Lewis Doan, Cy
ltodgers, Horace Elrod, Red Tay-
lor, Charlie Powell, Marvin Lam-
port, Lester Brumley, Walter Riggs,
Robert McMurrey, Bubba Harris,
Gilbert Conoley, Frank O’Neil,
John Burleson, Bob Wright, and
Quy Brantley, for a win over the
Mountaineers.
Several promising freshmen will
add lots of power to the Pirate
squad. Among the freshmen are:
Blackburn, back, Belton, Harry
Lampert, guard, LaGrange; Leon
Hanlsch, center, La Grange; Weeks,
back, Wheeler; Mason Godby, end,
Overton; Marion Hickqman, tack-
le, Gonzales; Bob Erlich, guard,
Smithville; and Albert Cobb, Tack-
le, Calvert. Gillls Conoley, Milton
Perry, C. B. Scarbrough, George
Bancroft, and Puggy Smith are
listed among last year’s squadmen
who are fighting for a berth.
A probable starting lineup would
lind Doan and Rodgers at ends,
Lampert and Taylor in the tackle
positions, Riggs and Harris filling
the guard slots, McMurrey or Con-
oley at center, O’Nefl, Burleson,
Crowley, and Brantley or Wright In
the backfield.

SPECIAL TO THE MEGAPHONE
Kerrville, Sept. 13—With the
opening ball game only a week
away, Coach Weir and his staff are
still experimenting with various
backfield combinations, in order to
find tlie most effective offense.
Schreiner is faced this year with a
total loss of ball carriers, with not
a single veteran returning for duty
on the 194U team. Plenty of excel-
lent material is on hand, however,
and the mountaineers are expect-
ed to bo ready for the Southwes-
tern University Pirates on Friday,
September 30, when the Buccaneers
come to Kerrville to inaugurate the
current season.
The line is meeting all expecta-
tions for a good season in that de-
partment. With three lettermen
and a sprinkling of ’’B” team and
reserve lettermen coming back,
Coach Weir hopes to have his
strongest line since 1935, when the
Mountaineers took the State Junior
College Conference title by beating
Marshall, 7-0.
John Ellis, who lettered at end
in 1939 and who was not in school
last year, has been converted from
an end to a back. Ellis’ specialty
was, and still is, place-kicking. Les-
lie Tlner, who was forced out of
the 1939 training camp when he
re-opened an old back injury, is
back at Schreiner and has been
made over from a quarterback into
the first string fullback. Tiner is
a former Edison High School (San
Antonio) star. He has looked very
good in scrimmage sessions and is
now defending his job against all
comers. Travis Raven, last year
an all-stater with the Austin High
Maroons, gets the starting nod at

left halt.
Mention Is made ot other line-
men who will be sure to get Into
the action: Clark "Sheep” Griffith,
of Mineral Wells, has been per-
forming well at an end post; "Ace”
Thompson, reserve from last year’s
team, will be making someone hus-
tle to keep him out of the play at
guard; I. D. Simpson, San Antonio
boy, came in late for training
camp, but he has already moved
up two teams and. will soon be
crowding the first string°tackles.
Clarence Red us, Kingsville boy
who plays guard, will be heard
from early In the season; and
George Mehis, stalwart. Mission
center, will cause the veteran Nick
Patillo no end of worry.
In the backfield, other men who
will be called upon next week are:
Buddy Hawkins, last year an all-
stater from Nacogdoches, is play-
ing the quarterback post and is
kicking the ball a country mile.
Tome Hall, Huntsville freshman, Is
showing why he made the all-reg-
ional selections as he puts all his
160 pounds into his halfback job.

Once again there Is the famil-
iar thud of feet meeting the pig-
skin and the barK of signal callers
on the gridiron of old S. U. The
1940 training season in the Pirate
hideout opened on September 5,
when Coach Medley greeted 16
lettermen, 4 squadmen and a group
of 30 selected high school stars.
The squacj^held its first scrimmage
session on th^ night of September
10. The veterans flashed a pow-
erful offense with Dutch O’Nell,
Burleson, Crowley, and Brantley
leading the parade of brilliant
backs. The burly Pirate forward
wall Impressed the onlookers with
its rugged line play. Outstanding
In the line were Taylor, McMurry
and Lampert.
Among the newcomers to the
Buccaneer camp Blackie Black-
burn, Chuck Farmer and Johnny
Rice looked good in the ball carry-
ing division while Hanisch, lanky
center from La Grange, and Erlich
of Smithville led the way for the
new linemen. Coach Medley ap-
peared well pleased with the result
of the first scrimmage and stated
that he hoped to build two elevens
of equal strength in order to sub-
stitute with ease and assurance.
•*••**.
Proper condition is a primary
requisite for a winning football
team or any athletic team for that
matter, and we sincerely believe
that Medley has the correct formu-
la. Last year the Pirates were in
the best condition of any team of
the previous decade. Only two
substitutions were made because of
serious Injury. One waa when
“yours truly” rolled up a leg In
the Baylor fracas In Waco town
and the other was Clock Burleson’s
injury In the Trinity U. game. It
