All I could see as I looked at the

three fourths of the place was

Texas Lutheran has given much
to the city of Seguin. Perhaps,
not the least important is a name.
(satisfaction with TLC), there
might be a few happier students.
Instead, it’s interesting to watch
the steady stream of suitcases
heading out each Saturday at
noon, leaving the Bulldogs behind
to fight for themselves, and, thank
heavens, the greater majority |of
the student body.
Once again, don’t misconstrue
what has been said. The great ma-
jority of upperclassmen are here
TLC has done a good Public Rela-
xations job for the city, and it has j because they love TLC and are
brought a valuable source of in-
come to the merchants and busi-
nessmen of this fair city. Thus, it
almost hurts to see the pathetic
manner in which the townspeople
support the home games of the

too weak a word.
eager to participate in its activi-
ties. The great majority of fresh-
men are here because they wanted
to come, and they too are eager
to participate in order to make
the school a part of their life.
But, it’s to those chronic com-
plainers and unhappy few that we
and
tuck battle. At halftime, the score
was deadlocked in a 7 to 7 tie.
The Wildcats’ winning touch-
down came early in the third
quarter with Stuart going over
from the one. TLC twice threat-
ened to overcome the 6-point defi-
cit with drives that carried deep
into Wildcat territory but stalled
both times, on the 18 and 16
yard lines.
The Wildcats held the edge
statistic-wise, gaining 306 yards
and amassing 14 first downs to
the Lutherans’ 241 yards and 13
first downs.
The Bulldogs’ pass defense con-
tinued its outstanding work, by
allowing the Baptists only 25-
yards via the air route.

Of course, one can counter ;by address ourselves. Knock out the
saying, Why stick with a loser ? complaining, and try faking part.
Well, for the simple reason that work vvonders for the benefit of
a loser often becomes a winner
■because of the spirit that is gen-
^ erated to spur it on.
And. of course, one could “re-
counter” with the example of the
poor town turnout for the Mc-
Murry game, after TLC had lam-
basted San Marcos, 39-7.
The sad part of the situation is
»9*that by comparison, the turnout
at football games is excellent. It’s
not pleasant to look forward to a
basketball season where as few as
your school and yourselves..

Since cool weather is upon us,
it might be the time to remind
those of you who are new this
year, that TLC has a ruling
against the wearing of high school
letters or other college letters on
campus.

I admit that for the argument
brought forth, I can present no
solution. So, maybe, this is no-
thing more than a petty, personal
•gripe. Yet it does seem a shame
that in return for what Texas
Lutheran College has meant to
the citizens of Seguin, the greater
majority of the citizens of Seguin
give very little in the area of ath-
letic support.

construing what has been set.

Last week the Lutherans
dropped a 13-7 decision to the
Louisiana College Wildcats in
their poorest showing of the sea-
son. They failed to show any con-
sistent ground gaining attack and
connected on only six of 17 pas-
sing attempts.
Malmquist was disappointed
the blocking and tackling and
promsied some changes in the
starting lineup against Lackland
The only bright spot was the con-
tinued good pass defense which
the Bulldogs showed.
In five games the Lutherans
have allowed their opponents only
24 yards per game in the aerial
department. But the invading
Louisianans piled up 281 yards
with their ground attack.
Billy Russell, sophomore half-
back from Dallas, scored the only
TLC touchdown when he capped
an 80-yard drive with a 4-yard
scamper over tackle. Line stand-
out for the Bulldogs was Gerald
Johnson, center.
