LOBOS TRAMPLE
ACADEMY CUBS
17 T015 MON.
Go Into City Championhsip by Tak-
ing Game in Extra Points.
The Training School Lobos took
the lead in the city championship
series Monday night by subduing,
to the tune of 17 to 15, the fast
Academy quintet in one of the most
exciting games ever played in the
Academy gym, two extra five min-
ute periods being required to set-
tle the issue after the Cubs had
staged a powerful come-back that
tied the score at 12-all as the game
ended. In the first extra period,
neither team was able to score due
to wonderful guarding on the part
of both teams. The next period
was different, however, as the Lobos
started an offensive that netted
five points to put the game on ice.
Sparks and Weisser were easily
the outstanding stars for the Lobos,
while SoRelle and Horton stood
out for the Cubs. Sparks and
Wiesser led the scoring for the
evening with five points each, but
were followed closely by Allbright
of the Cubs with four.
The game started slow, with
neither team being able to break
through the other’s defense, but af-
ter some spectacular passing on
the part of the Lobos, Sparks broke
through the Cub defense and drib-
bled in for a beautiful “crip” shot
that started the' tide to flowing in
favor of the Canines; and, after a
hard fought battle between the
teams, the half ended with the dogs
on the large end of a 7-3 score.
The Lobos started the second half
with a bang, running the score up
to 12-3 before the Cubs could get
started; but at this point of the
game, the Cubs went into one of
the most exciting sprees ever seen
on this court, as they sank goal    .    ,

THE BOBCAT QUINTET
Although the eastern section of
the T.I.A.A., to which the Bobcats
belong, is considered the stronger,
Coach Henry Shands is confident
that the Bobcat cagers will give
a good account of themselves in
the coming T.I.A.A. struggle. Of
the five other teams—Commerce,
Denton, Huntsville, Kingsville, and
Nacogdoches—in our division, Den-
ton and Commerce, both of whom
must always be seriously consid-
ered, the latter being runner-up for
the championship last year, seem
to be %ur strongest opposition;
though Huntsville, who has an in-
exerienced team but is aided no
little by the heightened morale re-
sultant from their championship
football season, has shown much
strength in their initial games of
this season.
Nacogdoches and Kingsville
must always be beaten on the
court after they are on paper be-
fore they will admit that there is
a better team than they. Nacog-
doches possesses a pair of superb
goal-tossers who, when “right”,
will be unbeatable. Our guess is
that she will be an in-and-outer,
finishing high in the conference,
but proving more of a title-hope
wrecker than a contender. Kings-
ville’s chances are gloomy enough;
but her 41-39 triumph January 10
over St. Mary’s University raised
her stock materially. The contest
revealed some offensive power, at
least, even if a weak defense is
apparent.
The western section of the T.I.
A.A., consisting of Canyon, Mic-
Murry, Daniel Baker, Sul Ross, and
Abilene Christian College, is not
thought of as being in the running,
Canyon, the team who ruled the
association last year, being the on-
ly team that may cause trouble.
Daniel Baker, A.C.C., McMurry,
and Sul Ross all boast some good
men and will probably wreck,
therefore, some title aspirations;
but none of the four deserves ser-
ious consideration for the crown;
so the team winning the eastern
division should have no trouble in
THE CINDER PATH
Coach Strahan has hopes for an
exciting track season this year.
Thirty men pound the cinders for
three long miles thrice a week in
order to get in condition, while
still more are expected to join the
squad later in the season. Five
lettermen—J anca, Scott, Meyer,
Mooney, and Banik—are out now,
while Gordon, Brandt, Obets, and
Cavender are expected soon.
The squad-men from previous
years who will give some strong
competition in their respective di-
visions are:    Fromen, Nix, Cox,
Cheatham, Kitchens, Moore, Reed,
Dunlap, Glover, Via, and Sanders.
The freshmen who will add to the
strength of the team are: Forres-
ter, Trittipo, Schoppe, Porter, Ger-
mer, Zittleman, and a few others
who may show their mettle later
in the season. It is yet too early
to know anything definite, but it
is generally agreed that these men
will make things hot for many of
our lettermen. This rivalry should
lead to a successful track season.
SCRIBBLER’S CLUB IN-

Texas has the deepest producing
oil wells in the world—in the Big
Lake district of Reagan county,
No. 3-C produced oil at 8,800 feet
and gas at 8,892 feet, while No.

The Scribbler’s Club was organ-
ized in 1928 by a group of stu-
dents who wished to write sketches,
poems, stories, and other articles
of creative effort, and to enjoy
the criticism of these by their fel-
low members assembled informally.
At this time it is the desire of the
old members to receive new mem-
bers into the group.
To qualify for membership in
this club a student must submit an
original piece of composition of
any kind to some member of the
club. The manuscript must be ac-
companied by a sealed envelope
containing the name of the person
submitting it. This procedure is
followed because the members are
chosen, not for their personal
charm or popularity, but for the
promise they show in expressing
their ideas in creative forms. The
club does not expect to find polish-
ed writing usually, but it hopes to
discover and develop talent. To
this end, all manuscripts of pros-
pective members are considered
anonymous until they are read and
passed upon by the club members
in regular meeting. If the manu-
script shows sufficient promise, its
author is elected a member; if not,
he is encouraged to try again. It
has been the past history of the
club that some members have had
to try more than once before they
made the club roll.
Students who wish to try for
membership in the club this term
are asked to drop their manuscripts
in either of The Star boxes, or to
hand same to any of the follow-
ing: Hugh Williamson, Ruby Mc-
Cord, Dr. Arnold, Mr. Wright, Miss
Taylor, or Mr. Thomas. The Scribb-
lers have put out three antholo-
gies of creative writing in the three
years of their existence, and they
expect to get out another perhaps
during the spring term.

court to eventually tie the count
and necessitate the extra periods.
This makes the fourth straight
victory for Coach Smith’s five, and
puts them in the lead in the city
championship series. At present,
the Lobos, are under a serious han-
dicap as Jameyson and Blacklack,
mainstays of the club, are confined
to bed with slight cases of flu.
TENNIS GOSSIP
Practicing, organizing and all
the preliminary getting together
for the tennis tournaments will be-
gin in full force in about two or
three weeks. Coach Cavness seems
to feel that with Harvie Yoe, Alfon
Frenzel, and Raymond Hicks, mem-
bers of last year’s squad, as a nu-
cleus, and with the return of John
Latham, a brilliant star of last
year, the tennis prospects for the
main squad look bright. There are
rumors of other good players that
will probably be brought to light
when actual organizing and prac-
ticing begins,
At present and in the near fu-
ture the new tennis courts near
Kyle Field are and will be under-
going repairs. Just now there is
a necessity for a means of sup-
plying water to the courts, but it
is thought that this difficulty will
soon be overcome.
west.
Coach Shands has several rea-
sons for the confidence he has in
his quintet, though even the
staunchest supporters do not pre-
dict a championship. The 1931 ma-
chine is built around seven letter-
men, Captain Gensberg, Via, Glov-
er, Smith, Evans, D. Brandt, and
F. Brandt. This all-star cast is
supported by Germer, Strandtmann,
Doerr, Lamar, Tritippo, and Nix—
all of whom show promise in prac-
tice, and all of whom, with the
exception of Nix, are first year
men.
Upon the physical condition of
the first seven men named, Bob-
cat hopes will chiefly rest. At
present, D. Brandt suffers an in-
jured back and Glover a blistered
foot. In addition, Germer is on
the sick list. Thus, the Bobcats
enter their games with Southwest-
ern on the 12th and 13th decided-
ly underdogs. It is hoped that the
squad will be in first class condi-
tion for the opening of the con-
ference schedule Saturday night,
January 17, when the Cats will
have as an opponent, the Sam
Houston Teachers.

Footlights Plan for Tri-City Meet.
The Footlight sDramatic Club of
Demonstration High met in regu-
lar session Monday evening, De-
cember 5. The one-act play for the
tri-city contest was discussed, but
not decision was made. The mem-
bers were told by the sponsor to
be on the lookout- for possible
members. Miss Allison has decid-
ed that theer is room for enlarge-
ment, but she feels that member-
ship should not be wasted on any-
one with no ability or no desire
to participate in these activities.
Applications for new membership
will be received at the next meet-
ing.

Taking Care of School Books.
The State Board of Education has
foun dthat many schools do not
take proper care of the free books
issued to them. Strict rulings have
been made requiring teachers to
make more accurate reports as to
condition of books used by stu-
dents and requiring inspectors of
schools to see that the rulings are
observed. The Board is also look-
ing into the matter of use of nu-
merous text books not required with
a view to stopping the heavy ex-
penditure for books of which many
patrons of the schools have strong-
ly complained.
Yes, we have dance tops!

Quite optimistic for Texas writ-
ers of the future, Peter Molyneaux,
editor of The Texas Monthly, Dal-
las, stressed the fact that the work
of the high school journalism stu-
dent was not so very different from
that of the newspaper man or wo-
man who has already entered the
field. He also pointed out that
there is somewhat a tendency on
the part of high school and col-
lege editors to ape the larger news-
papers when they should do the
work that needs to be done; to sti-
mulate school and college spirit by
reflecting the activities of school
and college life.
Discussing the possibilities for
genuine achievement in writing, Mr.
Molyneaux says that they are
greater today than they have been
before, as there has been nothing
to indicate that a machine might
take the place of a writer iif this
age which is called the machine
age.
“Great changes are foreseen in
the journalistic world, with radio
and television largely taking the
place of the newspapers,” Mr.
Molyneaux warns, “but there will
always be a place for the creative
imagination.”
He predicts that the talkies and
the radio will also bring a need
for new type of literature. Litera-
ture has a peculiar way of expres-
sing itself, and how it comes about
can not be explained.
The greatest possibility for Tex-
as and all Southwestern writers is
to create a Southwestern atmos-
phere. We have lived here long
enough to create an atmosphere
and a cultural back-ground for all
aspiring writers.
“We have a glamorous back-
ground for work, there will always
be much disillusion for writers, but
it is a most satisfying profession
if you stick to it and like it,” -was
the advice with which Mr. Moly-
neaux closed his talk.—Baylor Bells
