WEDNESDAY, JULY 25, 1934
SPORT SLANTS
BY ABE HOUSTON
With the advent of boxing quite
a few P. E. 64 students are weep-
ing and wailing. J. M. Roady has
introduced quite a varied program
and he just about has a class full.
We think that Pickle Notley and
Ox Darby could put on a mighty
good bout.
Oh, for something to write
about. Why don’t we have intra-
murals the last six weeks? Then
your editor would not be the rav-
ing maniac that now is. Just a
shadow of his former self.
We see where a bunch of the
Texas U. athletes flunked out.
Please Mr. Prof be easy on our
boys. We need all of them next
year. Since we are on the sub-
ject of football why not go over
some of the prospects for next
year. We only have a little less
than two months before the old
training camp starts so why not.
We might start with the line.
That’s as good as any place for
what would the horsemen do with-
out a bunch of mules? That re-
minds us of the person who only
watches the man with the ball.
He misses the best part of the
game. Keep the old eagle eye on
the man who is clearing the way
and you’ll enjoy the game lots
more.
Deadeye Comer and John Gued-
er are the two lettermen guards
back from last year’s team. Neith-
er is sensational but both are fair-
ly consistent. Gueder is one of
the most important footballers we
have ever seen. He came here
just a mediocre guard but under
the guidance of Oskie, he has de-
veloped into a very capable guard.
He is exceptionally fast and along
with Comer is usually the first
man down under punts.
Ivo Schoppe is captain and cen-
ter for the 1934 club. Ivo hails
from Caldwell and was chosen on
the mythical all-conference team
last season. He is the bruising,
conscientious type of player and
he can be relied upon to put out
his best on every play. He is at
his best when the going gets
tough. Schoppe should make a
capable leader for the Bobcats.
The tackles like the rest of the
line are unusually strong. Louie
Germer seems to be the best of
the field which includes Dean Hopf
as the other letterman. Louie’s
weight has dropped down to 210
this summer and he seems very
frail but we think he will be able
to stand up under the grind. He
is at work in the vicinity of Max-
well and he was plenty tough at
our last report. We will make
this prediction right now and it is
that before Louie Germer finishes
his football career that he will go
down in history as one of the
greatest Bobcat tackles that ever
trod on Evans Field. Hopf is
light for a tackle. He only weighs
about 170 but he has more fight
and hustle in him than any man
on the squad. In his first appear-
ance as a tackle last year in the
Howard Payne game he starred.
He had never played the position
before but he went at it like an
old veteran. To sum all of it up
about Hopf, we just say that he
has what it takes.

We will take up the ends and
backs in our next issue. We will

first few attempts but we will get

a later issue, so don’t you big boys
get your feelings hurt.
J. L READ EMPLOYS
INGENIOUS DEPICE
IN SPANISH DEPT.
Culminating a search of sever-
al years, and long experiments
with sound-reproducing equipment,
Professor J. Lloyd Dead this week
is putting the finishing touches on
apparatus which will be used at
teaching aids in the Spanish De-
partment.
The equipment consists of a re-
corder, a microphone and amplifi-
er. A number of ear phones are
attached and a large class of stu-
dents may be accommodated at
one time.
Professor Read is at work on
the organization of material to be
used in connection with this equip-
ment.
Already he has made several
excellent records covering units
in the teaching of Spanish. Mr.
Read’s splendid pronunciation and
enunciation are exactly reproduc-
ed on the records and by listening
to these records for a long period
of time, a student not only ac-
quaints himself with the principle
involved in that particular unit,
but also has drilled into him the
proper “feeel” for the spoken
language.
Professor Read’s efforts to se-
cure satisfactory equipment make
an interesting story. At first, get-
ting his idea from the dictaphone,
he tried out apparatus which was
operated on the principle of that
instrument. But the limitatiton
of the number of head prones
which could be attached to this
machine rendered it unsatisfactory.
A well-known phonograph com-
pany offered to build a satisfac-
tory machine, but the cost put it
out of the reach of the College.
Finally makers of radio equipment
in New York City became inter-
ested in Mr. Read’s project, and
sent equipment which appears at
present to be entirely satisfactory.
Possibilities for the use of this
kind of equipment are almost un-
limited in a number of other col-
lege departments. Professor Read
believes. Several other instructors
are watching closely results ob-
tained in Prof. Read’s department.
YM. YWCA Will Hold
Annual Mid - Summer
Retreat at Wimberley
The usual mid-summer retreat
of the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. is to
be held at Wimberley, Saturday
evening and Sunday, July 28 and
29.
The purpose of this retreat is to
get away from the crowded cam-
pus with its bustle for a few hours.
The week-end will be spent profit
ably for there will be devotional
services and helpful talks as well
as ample time for recreational ac-
tivities.
The cool nights at Wimberley
are a relief from the excessive
heat of summer as those know
who have gone before and shivered
for lack of a blanket. Sleeping
out-of-doors or in the open air
camps together with recreational
exercise will develop a grand ap-
petite and the food committee has
promised to do its best to satisfy
the most ravenous.
Transportation will be furnish-
ed and the cars will leave at about
4:00 o’clock Saturday afternoon.
If you are interested in going
please sign up in Miss Sterry’s of-
fice or with Elizabeth Pfiefer and
deposit 50c to cover your grocery
bill for the week-end.
Sign up and assure yourself of
one of the most satisfactory and
pleasant week-ends of the sum-
mer.

Despite the stinking feet the
College Sweatorium was filled to
the brim for the presentation of
Robbers of Tinpants, last Thurs-
day evening.
The event was notable in that
it represented the bachelor effort
of the Fne Snorts Department col-
lectively by producing in bull,
without sound effects, a comic flip-
era to retain the students when
the “U Taka Jubilee Stinkers”
were late. Much of the credit of
its success depends on the report
given now.
The flopera was a flat tire with
an unexpurgated edition of the
moral code of the Victorian period
—and question mark. Therefore
the borious lug—that is lugubrious,
Major-Snorter, H. Grady Harlan,
woked a hoax upon the Robbers
and presented the accepted version
of the story of a typical bottle of
brew to the satisfaction of all.
who gave a splendid version in his
interpretation, the personal charms
of Dean Speck, who, with his love-
ly voice of intersperced lazy em-
bellowments suggested an irritable
Primo Camera.
The Robber apprentice of vacil-
lating tendency, as he swayed
back and forth, Mr. Nelson, made
an unapproved vocal, and other-
wise, unbalance for the two fore-
most characters. Worthy indeed
were the efforts of Mr. Vorden-
baum, who with his band of Rob-
bers made a ludicrous effort at
would-be dignity.
The arrangement added to the
success of the whole performance
as well as presenting a dainty pic-
turesqueness.
The flopera created a pleasing
after taste altogether and it is to
be hoped that further efforts will
be made in this direction by those
responsible for its success as an
amateur performance.
(This Part is Serious)
We wish to praise Mr. Harlan,
Dean Speck, Mr. Rush, Mr. Vor-
denbaum, and Mr. Nelson on their
performance last Thursday night
while the crowd was waiting for
the “Utica Jubilee Singers.” It is
the opinion of many members of
the faculty that more of group
singing as that displayed the other
Dean Nolle Gives
Interesting Talk
A large group of students and
faculty members gathered on the
quadrangle last Friday evening at
the Y.M.-Y.W.C.A. meeting to hear
Dr. Nolle.
Birdie King played several se-
lections on the piano and, since the
program was on Germany, Clara
Dormberger favored the audience
with a German song.
Dr. Nolle then gave his lecture
an, “A Plea for Tolerance.” All
those who were present received
much pleasure as well as educa-
tional value from the lecture.

Jubilee Singers-
(Continued from Pace One)
The faculty post office has been
moved to the place which was once
the entrance to the loby of what
was the post office.
This was done in order to make
more space that could be used in
a useful way.
Think of all the added pride and
glory to getting your morning
mail now. Everybody can see you
open your box and get your stack
of mail, which sometimes may con-
sist of a notice that your grades
are late, etc. Or maybe a state-
ment from the Post Office remind-
ing you that you owe them two or
three cents.
In “Colorado Moon” the bass did
nobly well. “Golden Slippers” was
followed b y “Wagon Wheels”
which has been so popular this
year.
A reading entitled “A Pessimist’s
View of Heaven” was rendered and
proved very interesting. While
your correspondent interviewed the
Singers after the program, sever-
al people asked for copies of the
reading.
The closing number was a spirit-
ual offering “Shortenin’ Bread.”
The Jubilee Singers are from the
Utica Normal and Industrial in-
stitute, a two-year coeducational
school in Utica, Miss., which is
nondenominational, depending up-
on its own efforts, of which the
Jubilee Singers’ concerts are a
part, and free-will offerings and
contributions for its support. The
enrollment during the past year
was three hundred sixty-nine. The
personnel of the quartet includes:
Ben Skinner, first tenor; M. H.
Cole, second tenor; C. E. Ratliff,
baritone; W. G. Culver, bass; Nor-
ma Cole, accompanist. While not
trained under a definite conserva-
tory program of voice instruction,
the singers have been coached by
some fed different teachers, not-
ably Harry T. Burleigh, the well-
known negro bass singer of New
York City.
The quartet has sung in Europe
and following this season will be-
gin a concert tour around the
world. They record for Victor.
