Pirates Get Away to Lead for
Conference Honors; Saints
Play Fast Game.
r
I
I
Ringing up a big lead in the first
half, the Southwestern pirates were
able to coast along in the second
half, to win over the Saints, Friday
night, Jan. 24, by the score of 39 to
29. The game was played in George-
town, and opened the Texas confer-
ence basket ball race for both teams.
The game was one of the best and
fastest games ever witnessed in
Georgetown. The Pirates led by
Whittle, lanky center, and Seamans,
flashy forward, headed the Saints
all the way, but James’ men forced
them to work every minute. By
virtue of this win, Southwestern
stands an even chance to grab the
championship honors, held by Sim-
mons, champions of last year.
Fitzgibbon High for Saints
The Saints, although greatly handi-
capped in reach and height, put up
one of the fastest exhibitions of bas-
ket ball ever seen in Georgetown.
They found the loop in the second
half, after being held at bay in the
first half, and almost tied the score.
Fitzgibbon and Herron were the
high point men for the Saints, with
11 and 9 points respectively. Sulli-
van, captain of the Saints, played
his usual good game at guard, and
was the fastest man on the floor.
Whittle and Seamans proved to be
nearly the whole show of the night.
Both players looped the basket from
far and near, and were tied for scor-
ing honors with 13 points apiece.
The guarding of the Pirates was ex-
ceptionally good, as is shown by the
fact that the Saints were able to
register only three field goals in th®
first half.
Game Was Clean
The game, although fast and fur-
ious, was marked by clean sport-
manship. Fouls were made, but un-
intentionally, as both teams were
trying hard. Not a man on the
Saint team was put off the floor on
account of personals, and only two
of the Pirates team took their limit.
The Pirates had a great advantage
over the Saints at the center posi-
tion, due to -Whittle, who is way
over six feet tall. He nearly always
got the tip-off, giving the Southwest-
ern forwards easy possession of the
ball. The Saints, on the other hand,
had to make their points by break-
ing up the plays of the Pirates.
The Pirates jumped off to a big
lead in the first half, by scoring 28
points, while the Saints had to do
their best to register 11. In the
second half the Saint defense began
to tighten, and held the Pirates to
11 points, while the Saint forwards
were ringing up 18.
The Box Score
Prospects of winning the intra-
mural league basketball champion-
ship were discussed at the regular
meeting of the Czech club held Mon-
day night, Jan. 20. The Czech team so
far has won one game and lost one.
The St. John Berchmans quintet
defeated the Czechs in the first intra-
mural game of the season, while the
Czech team trounced the North Tex-
as club five. The Spanish club bas-
keteers are at the top of the league
having won two games and lost none.
Should the Czechs defeat the Span-
ish club, whom they meet In their
next game, the Czechs, St. John
Berchmans and the Spanish club
teams will all be tied for first place
honors. So far the K. of C.’s and
the South Texas club have not play-
ed a game.
Merits of Prohibition To Be
Discussed by Representatives
of University Classes.
In the debate tryouts held in the
sophomore class Jan. 24, four men
were chosen by Elmore Borchers, de-
bate coach, to represent that class
in the intra-mural debating contest.
The four men chosen were: Mattie
Hosinski, Walter Beach, Charles
Trefflich, and John Raffaelli.
The entire sophomore public speak-
ing class, divided into two negative
and two affirmative teams, debated
the disarmament question in the try-
outs. Although some of the men
picked were on the losing teams,
Borchers said that he had made his
selection according to force of argu-
ment, organization of matter, and
presentation.
The intra-mural contest will pro-
bably be held some time in the early
part of February, according to Mr.
Borchers. The subject for consid-
eration will be “Resolved, That the
eighteenth amendment should be re-
pealed.”
With the choo'slng of the sopho-
more team, the stage is all set for
the intra-mural contest, The fresh-
man class had eliminations some time
ago and has chosen its representa-
tives, and the junior class chose its
men in one of its regular meetings.
They are Louie Hoopes and Edwin
Young. --------
Charles Brown, Joe Springer, Mil-
ton Quebedeaux, and Vic Cowart will
represent the freshman class in the
intra-mural debates to be held some-
time in February. These four men
were picked from fourteen freshman
that tried out for the team.
The tryouts were held in the fresh-
man public speaking class under the
direction of Elmore Borchers, public
speaking instructor. The question
for debate was /‘Resolved, That the
eighteenth amendment should be re-
pealed.”
Th'e men who tried out for the
team besides those selected for the
squad were: Earl Rougeaux, Vernon
Schwab, John (Jake) Fitzgibbon,
Raphael DeHaro, Charles Marik, Bill
Higgins, Bill Mooney, Johnson Gault,
Francis Roberts, and Robert Bolton.
The freshman class is taking a
great interest in these debates as
shown by the number of students
that tried out for the team, said Bor-
chers. ----------o----------

Group Will Enter Basket Ball
Team in Intra-mural League;
Officers Elected.
The South Texas club, a newly
formed organization, held its first
meeting immediately after dinner
Wednesday, Jan. 22. Election of of-
ficers was held and the following men
were elected: Roland Blackwell, of
Weslaco, president; Tom Young,
Corpus Christi, vice-president; Mike
Byrne, Cuero, secretary; and Charles
Trefflich, Corpus Christi, treasurer.
Dr. M. A. Hoffman was unanimously
elected sponsor to the club.
The Rev. George MacNamara, C.
S. C., was called upon to say a few
words and explained that he had been
interested in the formation of a
South Texas club ever since Septem-
ber. He also pledged his support to
the club and said that the faculty
would grant every privilege asked for
within reason. He was also in favor
of the club’s putting on social events
such as dances and barbecues and the
like.
The question of having a basket-
ball team was discussed and it was
decided that one would be organized
immediately after the semester exam-
inations. The team will enter the
intra-mural basket ball league, tak-
ing the place of the Engineers’' team
that has dropped out. Farris Broth-
erman was elected to coach the team,
and promised, with the support and
co-operation of the members of the
club, to put out a club that would
make a strong bid for the champion-
ship of the intra-mural league.
Just before the meeting adjourned,
Joe Dorsey, secretary and treasurer
of the North Texas club, was admit-
ted to the room and made a little
speech in behfalf. of his organiza-
tion. He pledged the support of the
North Texas club, wishing the South
Texas club success in all its under-
takings. ---------o----------
FORMER STUDENTS

ten and five dollars respectively. In
the high school section the leading
speaker is to receive ten dollars, and
second and third receive six and four
dollars in order.
Preliminaries in March
Preliminaries, in which some of
the contestants will be eliminated,
will be held in the first week in
March, according to Mr. Borchers.
In this way the great number of as-
pirants will be cut down, so as not
to make the contest one of too long
duration.
“The purpose of the contest is to
foster an interest in the art of pub-
lic speaking,”' said Mr. B'orchers.
“The former students know the im-
portance of public speaking in the
business world, and for that reason
they sponsor such a contest.
prize is offered as an incentive to
arouse the interest of the students,
and to prompt them to take part in
all such contests possible.”
All students of the University and
Preparatory school may enter the
contest, according to the rules, and
all are urged to avail themselves of
the opportunity.
The subjects for the contest will
be posted at least a week in advance
of the contest, as last year, to allow
those entering ample time to read
and study up on them.
