and Plays For
Gonzales Fair
Approximately 30 members of
e College band, accompanied by
rady Walker of the local Cham-
er of Commerce, were the guests
the Gonzales County Fair last
iday afternoon, where they fur-
ished the_ music for the races, al-
giving short concerts on the
ir grounds and in the city of
onzales. After the concerts, a
w of the members stayed to en-
y the sights and sounds of a
al county fair. The elaborate fire-
orks, the quaint negro minstrel,
e glamor of the carnival, and the
oliday spirits swept the musicians
their feet; so much so, in fact,
at the hour was late and the eyes
ere weai-y when at last the gang
mped miserably homeward in two
rs with only one tank of gaso-
ne.
Transportation was furnished by
veral business men of the city,
he band expects to go on several
ore trips of a similar nature he-
re the session is over.
ENTHUSIASM
SHOWN OYER
PEP RALLY
Exhortations of Rusty Lewis Show
Results at Last; Splendid Spirit
Shown in Yelling.
Next Friday the San Marcos Bobcats will meet the Abilene Wildcats
n the latter’s home ground. This writer feels a little helpless in talk-
g about this clash, because both teams are of the feline species, so
e can’t get away with any witticisms about pitting claws against
tings, or against horns, or against any of the myraid instruments of
arfare with which the poetic fancy*"——'
f sport writers endows football
earns. This contest will simply
e a battle of claws—if the lan-
uage simply must get figurative—
e result of which is difficult to
redict. The dope indicates that the
obcats may have a slight advan-
ge, but dope is so unreliable that
ne can simply ignore it in this
ase and wait for more accurate
nowledge.
The Bobcats are going into the
ray with morale high, the 0-to-0
ictory over the Howard Payne
-ellowjackets and the 7 to 0 vic-
ry over the Mountaineers being
ery encouraging. Abilene has a
trong team, however, as a look
t their T. I. A. A. standing will
onvine anyone. The Bobcats have
ot lost a game yet, however,
hile Abilene has one short-end
core to her credit, so it remains a
atter of speculation and interest
hether or not Abilene will push
e San Marcos Kitties down into
e ignominous ranks of the losers.
According to the Abilene Opti-
ist, school paper put out by A.
C., the Wildcats have two injur-
d players, one “Goober” Keyes,
nd D. H. Morris, both of whom
ould be serious losses to the
hristians. They will, however,
robably be able to start by the
'me the game does. .
This tussle is a very important
ne from the point of view of both
earns, for whichever team loses
tand a splendid chance of being
liminated from serious considera-
on in the T.I.A.A. pennant contest,
hile the winner will have an edge
hich will cause other teams to be-
in looking serious.
The game is to be another one
f these bed-time affairs, and for
any of the Bobcats—practically
11 of them, in fact—it will be the
rst game of night football. Let’s
ope the sand man doesn’t get too
Yong a hold on either of the two
"ams, and let’s hope also that it
ill simply be another case of
rowing the Christians to the lions,
hich in this case will be Bobcats.
There was shouting, and laugh-
ing, and splitting of throats last
Friday night when a large percent-
age of students turned out for what
was the most enthusiastic pep ral-
ly that has been held here this
year. Under the spirited exhorta-
tions of Rusty Lewis, assisted by
Pee-Wee Barr and Freshman Tal-
ley, and due to the various gym-
nastic feats of the yell leaders, all
of which seemed to be necessary
to keep the proper rhythm, the stu-
dents yelled loudly and in unison.
The crowd gathered on the quad-
rangle about seven o’clock, and
when the frenzy of spirit had reach-
ed the proper height, flowed pell-
mell down the hill to. the front of
the Education Building, where the
yelling de luxe began. In the course
of the proceedings, Dean Speck
made a spirited talk which brought
everyone present up to the proper
state of mind, and which brought
that old willingness to do things
for Alma Mater up to the highest
ebb of enthusiasm.
Henry M,oore also made a speech,
in which he predicted that the Bob-
cats would win their game the next
day. It has been heard, however,
that Henry’s predictions on the
High School-Lobo game did not
meet with marked success; so, if he
had not predicted what everyone
believed anyway, his prophesy
might have been taken with a grain
of salt.
It was a splendid pep rally and
everyone is looking forward to an-
other just like it.

Teachers Conference
INTEREST SHOWN
BY OTHER PRESI-
DENTS IN FIRE
Sound Cheerful Note in Regard to
Conflagration.
President Evans is in receipt of
letters from friends and presi-
dents of other state schools ex-
pressing an interest in the college
on account of its loss of the Boys’
Gymnasium and the Girls’ Gymna-
sium, and suggesting a larger and
better building.
President R. L. Marquis of the
North Texas State Teachers Col-
lege states the situation as fol-
lows: “Put up a tent and use it
until January, and then ask the
Legislature to give you a real
building.”
President H. W. Morelock of Sul
Ross says: “I sympathize with you
in this loss, and I hope that you
may be able to build a larger and
better gymnasium than you have
ever had. I hope that your loss
will not seriously handicap your
program.”
President A. W. Birdwell of
Stephen F. Austin State Teach-
ers College, who for eleven years
was connected with Southwest Tex-
as State Teachers College as Pro-
fessor of History and Dean of the
College, hopes that “from the
ashes will come more imposing
buildings for your Physical Edu-
cation.”

Down to Work
The Glee Club has settled down
its regular enrollment now, and
hard at work learning “The Jol-
Roger” and “The Soldiers’ Chor-
” from Faust. Those members
ho started out but who “couldn’t
and the pressure” as Mr. Har-
n put it, have now dropped out
d the remainder have taken a
siness-like attitude.
Mr. C. L. Turbeville, who is well-
own for his solo work, has been
pointed by Mr. Harlan to the
sition of assistant director of the
ub. Mr. Harlan, at the last meet-
g of the club, which was last
hursday evening, appointed a
mmittee to nominate some in-
vidual from the club to the po-
tion of president, and some one
Star reporter.
According to present plans, the
ub has a contract to put on a
atinee and evening performance
the Harlandale High School on
ovember 18th. The spirit which
avails in the organization insures
succesful program during these
rformances.
Miss Cora Lay, instructor in the
Home Economics Department, rep-
resented the college at the Teachers
Training School Conference, which
met October 3rd and 4th, at Dal-
las. The conference was devoted
to making of plans for the super-
vision and teacher training work
for the coming year.

men, North Texas State Teachers
College, Texas Technological Col-
lege, Southwest Texas State Teach-

of Education.
Bobkitten Game
Postponed Till
Next Week
The Bobkitten game with Vic-
toria, which was to be played at
Victoria last Friday, was called
off and re-scheduled to be played
next Friday. The reason for the
game’s being called off was that
Coach Shands figured some of the
subs might be needed for the
Schriener game so it was better
for them not to play the day be-
fore the Bobcats met the Moun-
taineers. On November 8th the
Bobkittens are to meet the Dum-
mies at Austin.
Douglas Now
With the Talkies
Boo Douglas, who thrilled local
audiences here last year as bass
soloist with Grady Harlan’s Glee
Club, is now in Hollywood. We
understand Douglas has a nice con-
tract with the Metro-Goldwyn-
Mayer combination as bass in a
quartet.
California seems to have been
the goal of two other Glee Club
boys, as J. Shedd and Cecil All-
britten are also out there.
Carlos Gilbei’t, who is . serving
as principal of Woelder High
School, was in San Marcos last Sat-
urday to see the Bobcats whip
Schriener. He seemed to be enjoy-
ing himself at the game.
With the cast selected, intensive
rehearsals have begun for “Is Zat
So,” the sensationally successful
comedy by James Gleason and
Richard Tabor, which will be pre-
sented by the College Theatre on
November 1st and 3rd. Although
several members of the cast will
be seen for the first time in a Col-
lege Theatre production, each has
had previous stage experience. The
cast is as follows:
A. B. “Hap” Hurley ...0. B. Horne
Eddie “Chick” Cowan..Robt. Kluge
C. Clinton Blackburn....Clyde Nail
Major Maurice Fitz-Stanley......
.'..V................ Howard DeViney
Sue Blackburn Parker ................

Robert Parker ..............Rex Smelser
Marie Mestretti________Minnie Herron
Fred Hobart................Henry Moore
Grace Hobart.......... La Nelle Smith
John Duffy.................. Paul Secrest
Angie Van Alsten......Ruby McCord
Bertram Horne, of San Marcos,
has appeared in plays of the Dem-
onstration School, and has also
been active in dramatics at Baylor
University. He is a Sophomore.
Robert Kluge, of Gonzales, is also
a Sophomore, and although new to
local audiences, has been seen in
numerous productions in Gonzales.
Clyde Nail, a Senior, is also making
his first appearance in a College
Theatre play, although he has had
previous stage experience at Brack-
enridge High School, in San An-
tonio.
Another newcomer to local pro-
ductions is Howard DeViney, a
Sophomore. However, he has gain-
ed considerable experience in pro-
ductions at Martindale.
Laura Lou Bryan, a Freshman
from Edinburg, is a member of the
Curtain Club of the Valley, and has
played in many of their produc-
tions, among which are Seventh
Heaven, and Lilies of the Field.
She was also prominent in high
school activities. She will appear
for the first time here in Is Zat
So?
Eleanor Parke is well known to
local audiences, having been very
active in the work of the College
Theatre. She appeared last year
in Set A Thief, and also acted as
assistant director of Kenipy, in ad-
dition to work on the staff of other
productions. She is a Junior, and
comes from San Marcos.
Rex Smelser, a Senior from
Haynesville, Louisiana, will also be
remembered by audiences here,
having appeared in Heloise, The
Showoff, The Goose Hangs High,
and last year in Set A Thief.
Minnie Herron, a Freshman from
El Paso, is a newcomer to College
Theatre progiams, but has had con-
siderable experience in El Paso pro-
ductions. Among other parts, she
has played Puck in “A Midsummer
Nights Dream.”
Henry Moore is also making his
debut in San Marcos audiences, al-
though he is a Sophomore. He has
had acting experience in high school
productions at Bartlett.
La Nelle Smith, a Freshman, is
another to appear here for the first
time. She has been seen in num-
erous productions, however, at both
Brackenridge and Main Avenue Hi
Schools, in San Antonio, and has
also appeared in prologues in sev-
eral San Antonio theatres.
Paul Secrest, a Senior, hails from
Devine. Although he is new to
College Theatre productions, he has
had previous experience in Somer-
“The Latom” which is the pub- set’ where he attended high school.
In an effort to find out the cylin-
der power, of the Freshmen’s brain
cells, Mr. Votaw, member of the
Education department of this col-
lege, and his staff of able assis-
tants proceded to assemble all the
Freshmen together in the auditor-
ium last Tuesday morning where
lie administered to them intelligence
tests. The test was given too late
for any results to be published in
this issue, even if Mr. Votaw would
allow them to be printed. If the
looks on the faces of some of our
freshmen were indicative of what
they knew, the closing quotations
on Freshmen brains will find the
bottom dropped out.
Wood Brothers
Have Interesting
Window Display
LOBOS WHITEWASH
HIGH SCHOOL, 13-0
Jumbo’s Proteges Overpower Ratt-
lers in Fray on Academy
Field.
Wood Brothers, local haberdash-
ers, have a most interesting win-
dow display of Wilson Brothers
neckwear this week. The display
depicts the trend of fashion in
men’s neckwear for the past 70
years, and is valued at $200.00 byj
the company who loaned it for the
display.
Ties of the vintage of 1864 are
shown, and then as each revolu-
tionary change in styles appeared
it is represented by another tie
with a short description of the time
in which it was worn. The display
is very educational, and shows that
our fathers and grandfathers knew
how to pick their cravats—unless
our mothers and grandmothers
picked them for them—just as our
wives do in this day.
Y.W.C.A. READING MATERIAL
Overpowering their light oppo-
nents with their large and power-
ful eleven, the pack of Demonstra-
tion High School Lobos, who snarl
and scrap for their meat under the
direction of Coach Jumbo Smith
and his assistant, Sloppy Shelton,
fought and pushed their way to a
13-to-0 victory over the San Mar-
cos High School Rattlesnakes last
Friday evening on Academy field.
The Lobos, greatly outweighing the
Snakes, gained their victory by
sheer weight of brawn, proving the
old adage that “a good little man
can’t beat a good big man.”
The Lobos scored the first five
minutes of play. Taking the kick-
off, they marched steadily and
seemingly inevitably on down the
field by a series of line plunges
and end runs, nearly all of which
were good for substantial gains.
They were not halted a single time
until they had placed the ball over
the line for a touchdown. After
that, the game litle Rattlers held
their own for the remainder of
that half, but were forced back
again in the third quarter with the
result that the canine tribe scored
their second touchdown.
Late in the game, High School
threatened when they got the ball
down on the Lobos’ ten-yard line.
The Rattlers thought they had a
touchdown when they completed a
pass over the goal, but it develop-
ed that the receiver had caught the
ball over the end zone, which is
a touchback, and the Lobos got
the ball twenty yards out. The Lo-
bos were close to the scoring point
again when the whistle blew for
the end of the game.
Three college professors offi-
ciated at the game, Mr. Hopson
being referee, Mr. Wright head
linesman, and Mr. Key umpire.

Ruby McCord needs no introduc-
tion to San Marcos audiences. Ruby
a Senior, comes from Luling, and
will be remembered for her out-
standing work last year as Etta in
You and I. She has also appeared
in The Showoff and Set A Thief.
Ruby is President of the College

The Mudcats, the finny denizens of Lake Evans should be called
instead of their current appelation of Bobcats, splashed their way to
a victory of the powerful Schriener Mountaineers Saturday for the
first time on this gridiron, sending them home with that part of a
7-0 combination which is represented by a circle. Although the two
1—“Kearns are ancient enemies of the
cinders and in the gym, this was
their first introduction—their bap-
tism—in mud. The husky Moun-
taineers proved to be respectable
opponents, but Oskie’s men, by the
combination of a short pass, a long
run, and an off-tackle plung man-
aged to beat them out in the last
five minutes.
During the whole game only T
first downs were made, 4 of these
being by the Bobcats—to return
to their popular misnomer—and
the other three by the Moun-
taineers. The Bobcats were in
great danger of being scored upon
once in the second quarter when
Zunker, the husky Bobcat punterr
got a kick blocked, Schriener re-
covering on the five yard line. Four
desperate bucks at the line netted
the Mountaineers no gain and the
ball went over to the Bobcats. The
Bobcats also lost a good chance
to score once when Gott, playing
Pyland’s position, ran the ball with-
in a yard of the goal line.
Both teams played a high grade
of football game. Our line held
especially well, it being almost im-
possible for Schreiner to pierce it.
Our backfield did well also, though
it was hard for them to get started
on the muddy field. Sanders bossed
the whole team very capably. Ger-
mer proved a steady ground gain-
er, while Pott showed up well for
his first game. Sub Pyland play-
ed a fine game during the few min-
utes he was in, and Kitchens was
on the receiving end of the majority
of the passes, it being he who put
the ball into scoring position.
The game showed plenty of ac-
tion for a wet field. The ball stay-
ed in mid-field for the most part.
Both teams would hit the line for
whatever gain was possible, usu-
ally very little, and then would get
off a soggy looking punt down the
field. The score, coming in the last
five minutes of play, happened in
this manner:
The Bobcats were in possession
of the ball in mid-field. After the
Bobcats had hit the Schriener line
for three yards, Zunker punted to
the 25 yard line. The return punt,
partially blocked by the Bobcats,
was short—for only 10 yards—
which left the ball on Schriener’s
35 yard line. The Cats gained
eight yards, and on the last down,
Sanders sent a short pass to Kitch-
ens, who slipping and clawing to
maintain his balance lugged the
pill to the 6 yard line before he
was pulled down. On the next play,
Sanders finned his way through
the line on an off-tackle play,
carrying the ball over for the touch-
down. Germer took a pass over-
tor, the extra point.
It is rumored that if the present
fair weather continues, the game
Agnes McClain, Editor of the
1930-31 Pedagog, and Reed Morgan,
Business Manager, started the first
drive of the year last Thursday
morning in assembly for the pur-
pose of selling Pedagogs. Both of
the officials made a short talk to .the
students exhorting them to pur-
chase the year-books, after which
the cards were passed out for stu-
dents to sign up. Reports from
the office stated that approximate-^
ly four hundred had already been
sold by Monday evening, which is
a fairly good record for so early in
the year.
Since some of the students are
confused on how to sign up for
the book, the editors of the annua]
feel that some little explanation
would be in order for the benefit
of those. When a student signs the
card, he simply turns over his four
dollar trust fund, which he has al-
ready paid to the Auditor on ma-
triculation day and which he would
otherwise have received back at
the end of the year, over to Miss
McClain and to Mr. Morgan. There
will be no other fees to pay besides
the one dollar on or before the
first of Febi*uary, and the matricu-
lation fee for next term will be no
higher. The only remaining things
for the student to do will be. to
have his picture made some time
this Fall and to receive his book
at the end of the year.

John McCormack
Makes Song History
John McCormack, who comes to
the Palace Theatre soon in his first
starring audible Fox movietone
production, is today doing for song
in America what Dante (lid for
literature in Italy and what Spen-
ser did for literature in England.
There are no different audiences
when John McCormack sings. Mc-
Cormack audiences are composed
of the really cultured men and wo-
men of the communities where he
appears who listen spellbound
while a great artist sings great
songs and proves to them that an
artist and a song may be great
without being mysterious.
Actuated by the thought that it
would be a physical impossibility
for McCormack, within the span of
years alloted to him, to appear in
all localities • where his voice and
his presence was desired, Winfield
Sheehan, vice president and gener-
al manager of the Fox Film Cor-
poration solved the problem by in
ducing McCormack to sign a con-
tract to act, sing and talk in a
picture production.
Through the marvel of Fox mo- ealled off on account of lack
vietone this great voice may now
be heard everywhere.
In the Fox picture directed by
Frank Borzage, the world’s great-
est tenor sings eleven numbers,
four of them in foreign tongues.

HARRIS BLAIRS VOTE
IN NEW MEMBERS
rain.
One of our scribes, in an inter-
view with Mrs. Netterville, mem-
ber of the English department of
this College, received in the course
of the conversation, the following
optimistic and refreshing views on
college life which she drew from a
set of, ninety-two papers she re-
ceived from fres»hmen and from
fifty-two papers written by sopho-
mores on the subject, “Why did
you come to college and what do
you expect a college education to
do for you?”
The ideals and objectives of col-
lege life—she said—show a marked
variation from age to age and from
year to year. In fact, the stand-
ard of college life has shown such
decided changes in recent years
that we can scarcely pick up a
magazine without being attracted
by some slightly pessimistic title,
such as, “Is College Worthwhile?”,
“How Colleges Rob Men of Price-
less Years”, etc.
The careful checking and tabu-
lating of the contents of ninety-
two freshmen and fifty-two soph-
omore papers written by my own
students in response to the chal-
lenge, “Why did you come to col-

A large proportion of my fresh-
man and sophomore students men-
tioned teaching as a definite ob-
jective. Clearly our college is ap-
propriately named a Teachers Col-
lege, and the dream of making
teaching a real profession is be-
coming a reality. In the second
place, the percentage of students
citing acquisition of knowledge as
a prominent objective of college
life would indicate that intellectual
curiosity is not dead, that the side
