THE COLLEGE STAR
TUESDAY, JULY 31, 1934
SPORT SLANTS
BY ABE HOUSTON
We left off last week with the
tackles for the 1934 Bobcats. This
week we will take up the ends
and backs. The ends in all prob-
ability will be the weakest link
in an otherwise great line. By
that we mean that we will have
less men for the positions than
the other positions in the line.
Milton Jowers, the McMahon
flash, is the only letterman back
for the end posts. Jowers will
long be remembered for his pass
catching ability last season. He
can get under almost any that
Horton can throw and he never
drops one. Jowers is also a great
defensive man. He plays the
smashing type and he can be
counted on to hold his side of
the line down. He is also good at
times on the end-around play and
for that reason he may be shifted
to the backfield.
Hondy Horton is the only regu-
lar back for the backfield this
next year. Horton did most of the
passing and kicking last season.
Hondy is a long passer, and is not,
very accurate with his heaves.
He will have to do most of the
passing and we hope that his ac-
curacy will have improved by the
time the grid season rolls around.
He is an erratic punter. At times
he will get. high, rolling spirals
down the field, and then at other
times he will only get off a short
hoot. Hondy is a bucker and does
not profess to be of the jackrab-
bit type. He uses brute strength
alone to get through the line. To
sum Horton up; he should be the
best man in an unusually weak
backfield. He has had enough ex-
perience to make a good football
player. If his mental attitude is
right he should go places.
Sam Norris of Taylor is back
for his third year after lettering
for two years. Sam is exceptional-
ly fast and is a good man if he
can get past the line of scrim-
mage. He is a very temperamen-
tal player and you never know
just when he is going to cut loose.
Sam could be a good man if he
will hustle and put out what we
all know he has. We think that
Sam has plenty of ability but he
just tries too hard and gets tight.
He is a good defensive man as
he has shown. In. fact he and
Horton are alike in one respect
and that is that they are better
defensive lineman than they are
defensive backs. Horton played
defensive end last, year and Sam
was on end part of the time. Sam
is also a fair punter. We will say
again about Sam that if his men-
tal attitude is right and he won’t
let himself get tight he will make
a good man.
Buford Carnes is the only oth-
er letterman back in the back-
field. Carnes did not play much
last season, being called in at a
crucial moment to do his place
kicking. He is an artist at place
kicking and he will be a very
valuable man if he does nothing
but kick. He only missed one try
for conversion in the entire sea-
son last fall and that one was
blocked. We aren’t very positive
on the records but we think he
made twelve out, of thirteen which
is a record that we don’t believe
was surpassed. Carnes may come
through next year and win a
regular berth as he was only a
Soph last year. If he doesn’t play
much at all though, he will be
one of the most valuable men on
the club.
That makes all the lettermen
back for another year and next
week we will take some of the
squadmen and freshmen. We have
some mighty good linemen com-
ing up but what we are all hop-
ing for is some good backs. Send
all your good ones to Osky and
he will be very grateful. He can
be located at the gym every aft-
ernoon so don’t forget to send
him a few more Porters, Gotts,
and Germers.
EL TORO-
(Continued from Page One)
applies to a college career.
But there are exceptions to all
rules. Even to the rules that the
great Editor’s convention passed
last week.
Some students remain in Col-
lege even after they get out—or
are kicked out,. They hang around
on the campus and bull, take part
in student affairs, student poli-
tics—in fact, everything except
attend classes.
They get out of school, organ-
ize their gang, and then try to
run school politics. Student poli-
tics is impossible to keep out; it
is desirable—when kept in the
hands of the students attending
school. But when exes come in
and try to boss things (and let
me tell you they do) the situa-
tion is different. Sometimes they
can cause a little pressure on
someone else besides students. If
you catch on to all this you are
doing more than many students
do their whole four years in col-
lege.
We could go on indefinitely
raving like this, but for our own
good and especially for the good
of a lot of other people we will
stop. Of course, we might return
to this subject at a later date.
However, before we bring our
line to its end we will try to get
a little more serious, because the
custom (if you didn’t know it)
has always been to get serious to-
ward the end of school. This
graduation or something puts this
into somebody. Maybe it’s the
thought of getting something to
eat after we leave this place.
Anyone who missed seeing the
“House of Rothchild” certainly
missed a picture which was an
hour and a half of real entertain-
ment. George Arliss played the
part of Rothchild in a superb
manner. There should be more
pictures like this one—then the
cinema would challenge the school
as an important agency in dis-
seminating knowledge.
This idea of going to Wimber-
ley for a picnic and barbecue,
(asks Mrs. Tunnel how to spell
it) is a swell idea. The students
seem to appreciate the thought-
fulness of the Administration and
the different committees for this
wonderful outing. The hills of
Womberley offer a variety of
sports for the students’ relaxa-
tion after long hours in the class-
room. El Toro endorses the pic-
nic and we shall be there one
hundred percent strong.
Before closing we wish to sing
our weekly song of praise to a
Professor who is known on the
Hill for his pep and witty sayings
both by the students and by the
members of the faculty. Our cor-
net solo (in E flat—mostly flat)
or shall it be an opera (heaven
forbid) is today dedicated to Mr.
R. A. Tampke, Bandmaster and
Instructor in the College. We
have heard so many students say
that Mr. Tampke is a “real guy”
and a “good sport” that we feel
that we are echoing the opinion
of the entire student body. He
is not only a real fellow, but he
is also an artist with unusual
ability. The students and the
members of the faculty apprec-
iate his untiring efforts in devel-
oping a musical organization that,
is both an asset and an adver-
tisement to the college. We hope
that you keep the good work
going to Tampke, and that you
may have a still better band dur-
ing the coming years.

World Learns Nothing
In Exactly 20 Years
The assassination of Chancel-
lor Dollfuss in Vienna was just
20 years to a day from the fate-
ful date on which Austria-
Hungary broke off diplomatic
relations with Serbia as a con-
sequence of another assassina-
tion—the one that led to the
World War.
The pages of history rippled
back to that july 25 in 1914
when Austria severed its ties
with the neighbor nation of Ser-
bia and mobilized eight army
corps. Serbia was held by Aus-
tria to have forented indirectly
the assassination of Archduke
Franz-Ferdinand, heir to the
throne of Austria-Hungary.—

SAN MARGOS GOES
WET Elf CTION DAYENJ0Y BETRE*T-
By local Correspondent W.E.T.
San Marcos, Texas, July 28—
Slowly the voters of the great
city of San Marcos piled in. They
voted. Votes poured into the bal-
lot box all day. The tabulators
were kept busy all day and night.
Oh, it was collosal, stupendous.
Bystanders were trampled in the
excitement.
The outlook was dark.
The period of hand-shaking,
back-slapping, cigar-passing, mud
slinging, tripe-juggling, and what,
not is over. They’re on the last
lap folks. They’re on the home
stretch.
The public waited patiently for
the results. Would it be a victory
for repeal? The outlook grew
darker. Ah! The votes were tabu-
lated.
A dark figure walked out of
the tabulating room to the “mike.’
The weather man announced an
inch and a quarter rain.

June, as has ben said before,
has been the month of brides
and hapy marriages. For the
Library Staff it is the month of
work. June has always been
the high-circulation month. Al-
though the record enrollment
was in 1931, the record circula-
tion was this year. Here are

Mr. Harold Williams, better
known as “Goof,” became the
husband of Miss Lora Pooley last,
Saturday, July 28.
They were married at the home
of Mr. Williams by Rev. Bowen
of the Baptist Church of San Mar-
cos.
They spent their honeymoon in
Eagle Pass and in Mexico.
Mr. Williams comes from Lock-
hart and is at present attending
this College. He will receive his
B. A. Degree in August
Mrs. Williams, who comes from
this town, is an accomplished mu-
sician and has had two years of
College work here.
The Ex-Student Department has
devised a clever method of re-
minding ex-students of the annual
homecoming Ito be held here on
November l(il7, 1934.
Every letter written to ex-stu-
dents is stamped with a stamp
bearing the necessary information.
There will be a football game
between the Bobcats and the Com-
merce Lions. There will be open
house and reception to the Exes.
Monroe Lippman, director of the
College Theatre, will have an in-
teresting program planned. And,
of course, there will be an all-
college dance.
All Exes should plan to attend
this. It is one of the best meth-
ods of keeping in touch with
friends made while in college.
Keep the dates in mind and tell
others who are interested.

the girls’ sleeping quarters as
someone imagined herself locked
outside the cabin and pursued by
a “big bad wolf” or a “seafaring
man with one leg.” Several re-
ported bruised shins as a result
of the failure of the entire group
to remove Irma Lee Kornegay’s
boots.
Sunrise found Elizabeth Pfief-
fer searching for fish bait, Perry
Gaut straightening out kinks in
his back sustained from trying to
sleep on the rear seat of a Chev-
rolet, George Norris knocking his
toe nails against the rocks in the
botton of the swimming pool and
Miss- McGregor muttering about
the plausibility of early rising.
Then Spencer-Gaut bait catch-
ing team functioned perfectly for
the Pfieffer and Norris hook cast-
ing duo. Elizabeth Pfieffer’s catch
of a five-inch perch cause that
usually sedate person to emit the
sounds that would have made an
Indian war whoop sound like a
lullaby. Norris, it is reported,
caught one fish that measured
nearly four inches and several
small ones.
After a splendid breakfast, dish
washing, preparations for lunch,
horse back riding, swimming, hik-
ing, kodaking and horse shoe
pitching were enjoyed by the va-
rious groups until midday. Soont
after a splendid lunch, several
made ready to return to San Mar-
cos. By four o’clock, everyone had
had enough picnicing to last at
least 48 hours, and the camp was
evacuated in favor of the birds,
the bees, the ticks and the trees.
A large part of the success of
the retreat was due to the gener-
osity of Mr. Goodman, Mr. Sew-
ell, Mr. Nelson and others who so
graciously provided transporta-
tion for the group.

Everyone has heard of sea
walls (to keep the ocean water
back in case you don’t know),
but this exposition is not to be
about sea walls; on the contrary
it is to be about a certain wall
which is being built to keep the
tierra firma from taking up its
bed and walking off. Also it is
to make the levelling of the
grounds around the gym more of
a possibility. In the years gone by
this small pot of ground has al-
most been a nuisance in as far as
its usefulness has been concern-
ed.
Mr. Rufus Wimberley with the
aid of the campus crew has con-
structed a wall of stone and ce-
ment along the bank of the creek
which runs (about once a year)
back of our new gymnasium. This
new wall is a work of art—I say
art because it takes an artist to
take those various shaped stones
fit together to form a unit—a
beautiful correlating unit.
It seems that we as college
students do not, appreciate as we
should the sweat and labor that
is so willingly put into the con-
struction of conveniences for our
use and enjoyment. There are
men out there who are working
and sweating to get an education
so that they may some day be able
to transfer that learning to some
one else who needs it as bad as
they do. Let’s at least show the
administration that we appreciate
the aid they are giving these
worthy students.
