Bobcats Begin Training
on September 19
The football season for the
Bobcats begins on September
19th. Take this as an official
notice if you are planning to
try out for the team and be on
hana. Notify Manager Jeff
Brassell or Coach Strahan you
are coming, especially if an
out-of-town man, so that a
place will be reserved for you
at the training table, which
will be maintained as last year
until school begins.
This will only give the squad
two weeks to get ready for the
first game. Be in fair shape
when you report so that tne
squad will not have to wait on
you. Some daily setting-up
exercises and a few sprinting
starts each day will harden
you up and get the soreness out
of your muscles.
All indication point to the
largest squad that ever assem-
bled on Evans Field to try out
for the team, but the authori-
ties are seeing to it that there
will be enough equipment for
all. There are eleven places
to be filled. This last state-
ment is inserted to answer the
question frequently asked this
Cummer as to how many va-
cancies there will be. Three of
last year’s team graduated and
there may be a few others who
can not come back but that
does not imply that there will
be only three openings for the
old veteran will have to win
his place just as any new man
will have to do-
The Bobcat’s sole aim is to
win the State Normal Cham-
pionship and all the rest of
their games. The schedule
follows: September 30, St.
Edwards; Oct. 8 Southwest-
ern; Oct. 14, pending; Oct.
21, Huntsville; Oct. 28, Daniel
Baker; Nov. 4, Commerce;
Nov. 11, Academy; and Den-
ton on Thanksgiving. Advance
dope from all of these schools
is to the effect that they ard
going to put a better team on
the field than ever before, so
everyone interested in the suc-
cess of the Bobcats will have
to get in with that old school
spirit and do their part to help
the team win.
A winning football team is
the aim, of every Normalite
but such a team is never
turned out by the coach and
players alone. If there isn’t
the right football atmosphere
in the entire college, if the
v hole sentiment of the institu-
t.on isn’t interestedly and loy-
ally behind the football squad
they will never win champion-
ships no matter how much na-
tive talent they have and how
hard they work- It’s the spirit
in the last analysis that wins
in football and much the great-
er part of that spirit must be
infused into the squad by the
rest of the college—the pres-
ident, faculty, alumni, under-
graduates, friends, and so on
down even to the very janitors
of the buildings.
Bernice Evans has gone to Mexico
City to study in the national univer-
sity of Mexico.
Pearl and Ruth Jackson were
“camper” visitors of the Fourqur-
eans last week’.
During the last Spring term
and this Summer, “T” men
have a committee at work to
compile the list of the former
men who have won the letter
from the S. W. T. N. on our
past athletic teams. Unfortu-
nately the names of these men
have never been officially re-
corded so that old Pedagogs,
Stars, former students, and
Teachers were referred to in
order to collect this material.
Until 1919 there had never
been an official letter and no
standard method of awarding
it had been adopted. Now an
official letter has been adopted
for each sport, the rules gov-
erning the awarding of the T
has been standardized and the
names of the men winning
their letters has been recorded
with the official register of the
letter men.
Below is a list of our form-
er athletics who have won
their letters. As stated above,
it is not official, and some
names may be on the list that
do not belong there, likewise
there may be some absent. The
idea of publishing this list is to
have the old students carefully
check over and see if there are
any errors. This information
will be gratefully received by
the editor of the Star.
The following list is the list
of the letter men of the school:

Pres, of College Stres-
ses Importance of Tho-
rough Training to the
Individual to Meet
Situations.
Pres^ C. E. Evans, of the South
west Texas State Normal, when
Seen by a Star Reporter and
Asked For a Message to
Students of the Sum-
mer Normal Dept,
made the follow**
ing Statement:
“The cal] of Texas is for profession-
ally trained teachers who are ready to
fill excellent positions commanding
good salaries. Each year the untrain-
ed teacher finds it more difficult to
secure desirable work or to hold a
good position already secured. School
trustees a'nd school superintendents
are becoming more and more insistent
in their demand for scholarly, allround
equipped men and women.
During your summer with Us, you
have become acquainted with our con
ditions and opportunities; you are al-
ready traveling the road of genuine
professional attainments. The (Nor-
mal College offers another year a wide
range of courses specially adapted to
your needs. To go on with this work
means larger opportunity, better pro-
fessional standing, broader outlook,
and increased salary. It means that
the best places become open to you.
It means that positions seek you, not
you the position. Will you not plan
to conje back for a regular session of
1921-22 a'nd bring friends with you?
Join the company of young men and
young women who are content only
with the best training and the highest
honors”
Under the leadership of
Manager jtLamonston, the
“Penpushers” ^played a fast
game of baseball Friday. The
K. P.’s headed by Mr. Plesey
Saunders, were worthy oppon-
ents of the Stars, but when
Mgr Edmonston “jerked” him-
self in the sixth, and put Tom-
my Newton in so as to have a
good batsman and safe hitter
on the team, the Hash slingers
were beaten. In the last of the
seventh, two men got on base,
and Mr. Newton broke up a
good game of baseball when
he hit over second and scored
the winning runs. Batteries!
for the Star, Summers and
Johnson; for the K.P.’s, Ehlert
and Caveness. Umpires Mc-
Williams and Cannon.
STARS DEFEAT THE CRACK
TEAM FROM THE PERRY
HOUSE
Monday morning at 9:30
a game was called between the
Stars and the Perry House-
This is the second game the
Stars have played, and Sum
mers again pitched. Due to
his excellent control, the Stars
were able to shut out their
opponents. The final score
was 6 to 0. Mgr. Edmonston
played his usual game at cen-
ter field, his hit in the fifth
scored Mullen and Mayhew.
The game was marked by
Johnson’s . home run fin the
sixth scoring Robinson ahead
of him. The Stars are open
for a game next week with
any one who thinks they can
play ball. The others scoring
were Robinson and Summers.
