The nuclei of next year’s Pirate
grid machine are hard at work these
days in daily practice sessions on
memorable old Snyder Field. This
group includes nineteen lettermen
and eight squadmen which should
indicate the potential powers of the
team next fall barring unforseen
situations. To date the men have
limited their work to the funda-
mentals which are so necessary to
a well-balanced club. We’re indeed
glad to see the stress put on down-
field blocking and cross blocking
while running interference.
We recall how pitifully the Buc-
caneer ground attack contrasted
with the hard running Howard
Payne team last Fall. How else
might the Yellow Jackets have gar-
nered that 6 point margin except
for the tremendous blocking power
exhibited on that 75 yard punt re-
turn. Each time a would be Pirate
tackier approached the runner he
was swiftly removed by an effic-
ient Jacket blocker— hence the
twelfth straight loss to the lads
from Brownwood. We all like to
see these outstanding defensive
players but then you must have
blockers to have an offense— and
an offense to win ball games.
school much larger than S.U. and
coached by a former student from
Southwestern. Evidently his stan-
dards were lowered considerably
throughout worldly contacts after
the pious atmosphere of George-
town because the conditions of his
athletic program are commonly
known throughout the Southwest
and disliked in most cases.
Blasphemous language and its
associated moral actions can be
kept from the athletic field if tol
erant understanding of boys is
sought by the coach. He is a man
of authority on the field and can-
not hope to go uncriticised but h£
can always be respected by all if
he exercises a firm but amiable
attitude. Coach Medley has proved
that he respects the record of
Southwestern’s coaches by educat-
ing his fiery happy-go-lucky foot-
ballers to control their tongues in
his presence. Daily contact and im-
plicit regard for this rule should
make the lads more conscious of
their language in the presence
others.
minute victory over the Kappa
Alphas. The KA’s were one point
ahead With very little time left
to play When one of their men
fouled a Phi. The free throw was
no good but Conoley jumped up
and converted two points for the
narrow margin of victory.
The game was marked with
many personal fouls. A total of 17
were celled with KA'e getting ten
of them. The Phis managed to make
good 4 of fheir free pitches while
the KA’s flipped in three.

Barb V Defeat KA’s 12-14
The Barb B basketball pulled a
last half rally that brought them
victory over the KA team. Conoley
of the Barbs made 8 of the total',
12 points that was made by the
Barb team. It was Conoley whp
made the two points with the score
deadlocked with only a minute and
a half ao play.After that KA’b could
never catch up. The KA’s were held
to 1 point the whole last half of
the game. Mims of the KA’s was
the loser star with Conoley and
Robinson of the. Barbs both play*
ing a good game.

We were over to see the inter-
squad games between the various
teams engaged in spring football
at Texas University and came away
feeling a bit disappointed. We hear
comments from everywhere on the
power displayed by the Texas U.
backs but with a few exceptions
the play was mediocre. Men of
outstanding ability as displayed in
the game were Pete Layden and
Bostick two line-ramming fullbacks
along with Jack Crain and the new
Sophomore McKay. These four lads
were consistent threats throughout
the afternoon with the plunging
Bostik drawing our vote as the in-
dividual star of the day. We also
saw Pete Miffleton in action but
we won’t discuss that on paper.
It seems that the only consistent
winning team at Southwestern has
been* kept in the shadows of ob-
scurity unintentionally or other-
wise. Our policy has always been
to give credit where merit is evi-
dent whether the subject be of
major or minor importance. In tl
instance we are referring to the
Pirate golf team which has a very
impressive record in conference
competition. Six years ago golf was
inaugurated as a major sport in
conference schools and the Pirate
team has six championships of
either individual or team awards to
offer as evidence. Dr. Howard’s
boys practice diligently on the golf
greens and vie for the honor of
representing the University in con-
ference competition, yet the letter-
men have not been accepted by
other athletic competitors as befits
their record. Very soon the Buc-
caneer participants in the game of
“cow pasture pool” will be trek-
ing up to Abilene for the confer-
ence tournament Now this years
team as a group is considerably
weaker than the ’39 aggregation
but if Johnny McCook is in form
8. U. will have its seventh cham-
pionship in as many years.
At one time in the dim dark
past we were connected with

Although seemingly anxious to
see the Republicans come out on

collegiate editorial writers do not

legiate comment on the party’s ac-

GEORGETOWN, Mar. 12 —Thirty
one fiery Pirates answered Coach
Med Medley’s spring training call
at Southwestern university here
Tuesday afternoon.
Medley sent his charges through
limbering up drills and tapered off
with dummy tackling during the
initial day.
The crew that reported, eight
less than the charges that rumb-
led through a torrid Texas Con-
ference football schedule last fall,
still spelled the plugs that Med-
ley plans to build his ’40 aggre-
gation around.
Only two new faces appeared in
the Buccaneer camp. C. B. Scar-
brough, stocky 180 pound full-
back, who held down a backfield
post on the Woodrow Wilson high
school team last season. Bop Pope,
lineman transfer from Texas Uni-
versity, fills out the list of new-
comers. The Pirates lose only four
men from graduation—Bud Bre-
mer, Jack Allen, Bob (Beartracks)
Knight, and Charlie Ingram. Ing-
ram, big 240 pound tackle has an-
other year of eligibility left, but
will not return after getting his de-
gree in three years.
Medley has planned and will
strive hard to mold a versitale of-
fensive game around three of his
last seasons backfield stars. A
passing game will be centered
around the stout arm of Tossin’
Ted Fehr, who completed seventy-
five passes last fall. Medley’s ground
attack will be built around Dutch
O’Neil and Clem (Bulldog) Crow-
ley.
The two evenly balanced lines
that alternated consistently in
Uthwestem games in ’39 all re-
ported in good shape with the ex-
ceptions of Bremer, Allen and
Guests from San Antonio, Fort
Worth, Dallas, and Houston, and
many other major cities will at-
tend the state convention of Alpha
Delta Pi, March 15, 16, and 17.
Large delegations are expected
from Alpha Zeta chapter of S.M.U.
and Delta chapter of the Univer-
sity of Texas.
Special guests for the convention
will be Mrs. C. C. Cody of Hous-
ton, and Mrs. Frank Martin of
Dallas, the province president.

groomed wardrobe

team.
