LIBERTY CHORUS
The S. W. T. N. Liberty Chorus
met Wednesday afternoon, Nov. 3, at
2:50 o’clock in the main auditorium.
Numerous songs were practiced by
the members of the club for the pur-
pose of furnishing music on the
night of Nov. 11. The Liberty Chorus
appears to be in demand everywhere,
not only because of the reputation it
has made in the past, but because of
the excellent combination of voices it
has this year. You can count on
the Club for doing her part in mak-
ing the old maroon and gold shine
this year.
CHAUTAUQUA MEETS
Last Monday morning at the usual
hour a peppy bunch of Chautauquans
met to render their weekly program.
Mr. Rode, our president, called the
house to order and Mr. Mercer pro-
ceeed to read the minutes of the
last meetings. Mr. Kuehn, our chap-
lain, next read the fifth chapter of
Romans as our Scripture reading and
then led a short prayer. It was
found that two members on the pro-
gram were absent so the last num-
ber on the program, a debate, was
rendered. The question for debale
was “Resolved that S. W. T. N. C.
Should Adopt Student Self Govern-
ment. Mr. Asheim and Summers de-
fended the affirmative while Mr.
Reir and Burkhalter spoke for the
negative side. It was a very spirited
debate and showed preparation on
the part of the affirmative who suc-
ceeded in drawing the decision or the
Judges 3 to 0. Mr. Rode, acting as
critic, commented favorably on the
debate and said that preparation was
necessary. Mr. Egg decided that the
Chautauqua Literary Society was the
best an put in his name on the role.
There being no further business the
society adjourned.
(Continued from Fage 1)
pit?ted over his s.de or me line this
season, whicu Deal's out me fact that
Jesse is on the joo. As captain, Jesm
runs ms team in fine* styie; ins voice
can be heard aii over me field, as
when he once yelled, “Go wide
Charlie,” the play resulting m ct
spectacular lun and a touendown.
Ramsay is playing ins tirst year
ak • the Normal, coming to us from
the San Marcos High Sciiooi, having
been a three letter man tiiere. He is
both fast and heavy and has proved
to be a most reliable ground gainer.
Numerous times has Charlie brought
the stands to their feet by ins
spectacular broken field, running.
John Coers at Yuli back, another
tinee letter man from San Marcos
High School, having flayed four
years there and one at West Point, is
second to none m tne State. Being
an extra large man we would not
expect him to be fast, but he upsets
the dope and has sprinted the
hundred in a little better than ten
fiat. As a ground gainer, either
thru the line or around end, Swede
denvers tne goods according to
specifications. It makes little dif-
ference wnether one or ten yards
needs to be gained, Swede will take
it where you want it.
In audition to the above enumerat-
ed wealth of the back field, there are
Roger Storey and Hoifton. Storey
comes to us from the San Marcos
High School and is one of the best
line plungers on the' team, in spite
of his scarcity of weight. Somenow
the opposing line can not keep him
from going thru for good gains prac-
tically every time he is called upon.
In the Daniel Baker game he showed
up remarkably well in every depart-
ment; he intercepted a foreward pass
and raced down the field 40 yards
before being tackled. Horton is a
new man on the squad but was un-
fortunate in sustaining a sprained
ankle in the early part of the season,
that has kept him out of the game
most of the time.
At the ends, the Bobcats are weii
supplied. They have Saunders,
Claude Kellam, Shelton ond Howell,
ail of whom were former high school
stars. Saunders was once captain of
the San Marcos High team. Each
of these men are extra good when it
comes to breaking up end runs and
very few have been made around
any of them this season. Plecky is
another of the versatile Bobcats; he
specializes on grabbing passes out of
the air while on the run and his
kicking ability was also demonstrated
in the Southwestern game when his
place kick from the 3 5-yard line
enabled the Bobcats to tie the
Pirates.
Claude Kellam is a deadly tackier
and breaks up any end run started
his way. Claude also plays right
tackle, and in the game with Daniel
Baker, starred from beginning to
end at that position. He won the
admiration of every spectator present
by his performance that day. In
thinking of ends, do not forger Tom
Howell. In the last two games he
has shown up like a veteran, especial-
ly on the defense.
In forming the bulwark of the
line the Bobcats have a wealth of
material. In addition to Claude
'Kellam, who has already been men-
tioned as a tackle they have Eubanks,
Perkins, Rode, Wible, Ehlert and
Ivey. Perkins and Rode are both
Normal veterans, and like some
other things, improve with age.
Rode reigns supreme at left tackle,
and justly so. They don’t make ’em
any better. Perk exercises the, same
authority at left guard. He was un-
fortunate in the Daniel Baker game
and received a rather severe injury
in his shoulder. We are glad to
learn, however, that he will be in old
time form for the game with
Academy on Armistice Day. Both
of these men are verituoie battering
rams. Rode has a habhit of keeping
his eye glued to the ball and never
a fumble comes his way without his
getting it.
Eubanks, Wible, Ehlert and Ivey
are all new men in the Bobcat one
up and at the first of the season were
unknown quantities. Sucn can not be
said of them now, however. Each
have been endowed with a goodly
portion of that “old Bobcat fight"
and the result ha# beofc wonderful.
They fight like veterans both on
the defense and offense, Eubanks
forging to the front as a 'star from
the beginning.
At center, the Bobcats are blessed
with a veteran and a star in Shuck
Bales. Shuck starred on both the
San Marcos High School and Baptist
Academy teams before coming to us,
and is consequently a man ot wide
experience. Altho small, he is ex-
cellent on the defense and uses his
hands to perfection. And neitner .s
Cole to be forgotten in speaking of
the pivitol position. He is big and
lengthy and will be a thorn in the
flesh to any opposing center.
And finally, no review of the Bob-
cat team would be complete without
speaking of Coach Strahan. the
Bobcats were the raw materialj
Coach Strahn has molded them into
what they are, a smooth running,
high powered machine. Therefor e,
football fan, in scattering your laurels
on individuals of the Bobcat lineup,
think what it ail would have been
without the able teaching of “Coach. ’
In general the whole team Lis
shown fight; there is not a single
yellow man in the squad. The Bob-
cats have shown an extensive know-
ledge of the fundamentals of football,
team work, interference, and above
all. have displayed scoring ability-
punch. Touchdowns are wnai it
takes to win football games and that
it what the Bobcats have in their
systems. Watch ’em put them across
the Cub’s line next Thursday.
The “S. W. T. N. ’ spelled by loyal
rooters on Evans Field Friday,
October 20, certainly deserves com-
mendation for it was an honest at-
tempt to demonstrate loyalty to our
school and the team. We hope that
the rooters will have all of the zest
and ordor so timely displayed at the
above mentioned time with them
when we invade the neighboring hih
on Armistice Day, and will let the
spirit carry them to the point ot
adding another letter to the above
monogram.
