THE COLLEGE STAR
MYSELF
I have to live with myself, and so
I want to be fit for myself to know
I want to be able, as days go by,
Always to look myself straight in the eye.
I don’t want to stand with the setting sun
And hate myself for the things I’ve done.
I don’t want to keep on a closet shelf
A lot of secrets about myself,
And fool myself as I come and go,
Into thinking that nobody else will know
The kind of a fellow ,1 really am;
I don’t want to dress my self in sham.
I can never hide myself from me;
I see what others may never see;
I know what others may never know.
I have to live with myself, and so,
Whatever happens, I want to be
Self-respecting and conscience free.
—Edgar A. Guest.

SUCCESSFUL SEASON
IN FOOTBALL
Five Men to Be Lost From This
Year’s Squad by Graduation.
Although they lost the last game
of the season to the St. Edwards
Saints of Austin by the close score
of 12-7, the season as a whole has
been rather successful for the Bob-
cats. Considering the green material
■with which Coach Strahan had to work
this season, the season can be con-
sidered an unusually successful one.
Starting the season with only seven
lettermen, Coach Strahan built around
this as a nucleus, a team which tow-
ard the end of the season knew not
their equal in the T.IA..A. when it
came to real fighting. The Bobcats
started the season off with a win over
Bob Shelton’s Lumberjacks at Nacog-
doches 14-0. With this as a starter
it looked as if the Cats were on the
road to an undefeated season, but they
soon struck rough sailing in the form
of teams in the Texas Conference.
Venturing over to Brownwood for
their second game of the season with
Howard Payne, they were beaten to
the tune of 20-0, all of which happen-
ed in the second half. During the
first half, the Bobcats were always
threatening to score, but breaks of
the game prevented them from doing
so. Coming home to play their first
game, the Bobcats were again defeat-
ed, this time by Daniel Baker, T.I.A.
A. champions of last year. Another
Texas Conference team plastered the
Bobcats when the Trinity Tigers sank
the Bobcat machine at Waxahachie
20-0, with said scores also being made
in the last quarter. From this point
on the Bobcats appeared to play with
a different spirit altogether. Denton
was the next team to be played and
the Eagles were smeared to such an
extent that they are still wondering
how it all happened. To be definite,
the score was 38-0, which is the worst
defeat ever to be handed to a Denton
team by a Bobcat eleven. Going over
to San Antonio the following Satur-
day, the Bobcats encountered a little
more than had been bargained for
when the St. Mary’s Rattlers offered
stiff opposition but this was finally
shoved aside and the final score was
22-0 in favor of the Cats. Huntsville
uvas the next scene of activity and
before a home-coming crowd of ex-
students, the Cats lived up to their
name of being fighters by holding the
veteran Bearkat machine to a 6-6 tie.
Dope had the Cats figured out to lose
by at least three touchdowns, but the
old Bobcat spirit and fight would not
give up under odds.
The roaring Lions of Commerce
were the next victims for the Bob-
cats and they were sent back with a
40-0 defeat plastered on their tails.
The last game of the season was the
memorable St. Edward’s game which
was played before a large number
of ex-students. The Cats fought as
never before but the breaks of the
game went against them and the final
score was a heart-breaking defeat for
them to the tune of 12-7.
This game marked the close of the
careers of five of the fighters who
have made possible the success of this
year’s team. Captain “Boody” John-
son closed his career this season and
was a leader of which the football
team this year should be proud.
Ward and Wright, ends of this year’s
aggregation, went down on their last
punt, smeared their last play, and
caught their last pass, in the St. Ed-
ward’s game. They were two good
ends and received several mentions on
the all-T.I.A.A. team. Frenzel, at
tackle, more than once proved a stone-
wall when plays were directed around
his way and his place will be hard
to fill next year. Clayton “Bullet”
Stribling, the scrapping guard, was
an inspiration to the team until a bad
knee put him out for the rest of the
season.
With three wins against one loss
in the T.I.A.A., it can well be said
that the Bobcats had a successful
With the football men reporting for
backetball practice Thursday evening
for the first time, the number of men
out for the team was swelled to fifty,
which is the largest number of men
ever to report for basketball train-
ing at the beginning of the season.
The squad is so large that there is
quite a puzzle to Coach Shands as to
just how he is going to give each one
of the men particular attention and
individual coaching on his faults. So
far, he has divided the men into two
squads, with one bunch reporting at
3:30, and the other squad coming out
an hour later. This plan works out
very well, with several of the letter
men helping him to handle the large
squad which reports at 3:30. So far
only fundamentals have been stressed,
with pivoting, passing, dribbling, and
short shots being the main things em-
phasized. It will not be long, how-
ever, till a daily scrimmage will be
the order, and, according to Coach
Shands, “a few practice games will
more than likely be played with some
strong team before the holidays”. This
is not definitely settled, however; and
it may be after the holidays before
the fans have the pleasure of seeing
the Bobcats in action.
Of the men who are reporting daily
for practice, many are showing up ex-
ceedingly well for so early in the sea-
son. The lettermen, which include
Captain Dixon, Vest, Ward, Johnson,
Smith, Wright, and Frenzel, are al-
ready beginning to get their eye on
the basket, and it won’t be long before
they will be looping them with regu-
larity. The squad men of last year,
which include Harden, Morton, and
Blackman, are also showing up well.
Dave Brandy, Lobo find of last sea-
son, and Vance, ineligible of last sea-
son, are also showing real promise;
and they are being counted on to help
bolster up the strength of the Bob-
cats this season. Gensberg, Couser,
Stephenson, Stobaugh, and Horton
are also hustling, and it would not be
surprising to see them rate the first
squad before the season is well start-
ed. Numerous other prospects are
showing up well, but it is too early in
the season to predict who will, and
who will not, make the team. All we
can predict is that the Bobcats will
put a team on the floor this season
that will be hard to beat.

Sunday evening, December 11th at
seven o’clock, the choir of the First
Methodist Church, assisted by many
of the singers of San Marcos, the
College Glee Club, and members of
the Mendelssohn Club, under the di-
rection of H. Grady Harlan, and Mrs.
Nellie Crowell, organist, David C.
Donalson, general manager, will give
as their annual Christmas musical
program, “The Holy City”, by Alfred
Gaul. This oratorio was presented
during the Easter period last spring
to a crowded house and since many
people who really wanted to hear the
performance were deprived of it be-
cause of lack of seating space, the
management has decided upon a sec-
ond performance with a considerable
working over of the choruses to which
a large number of singers has been
added. The management feels that
ip this offering the audience will feel
