Residents Drop
Cage Lead
Fall Before Sophs
In a fiercely contested af-
fair the Residents lost their
first game of the season to
the smooth-working Sopho-
more machine. Led by Quin-
lan and Miller the Sophs fin-
ally came through with a
hair-line 23-21 victory, the
result being in doubt until the
very last minute.
The game was closely con-
tested throughout—Walla and
Pelaez being especially active
for the Residents, who scrap-
ped hard to maintain their
lead over the rest of the field.
Their victory, despite an
early setback by the powerful
Junior-Senior combine, estab-
lishes the Sophs as leading
contenders for the crown,
along with the Resident and
the Junior-Senior quints.

P. T. Classes
Reorganized
Since their ordinary drill
work as cadets in the newly
organized R. O. T. G. unit
frees them from compulsory
P. T. training, most of the
“soljers” have dropped the
Physical Training period.
Hence, a new schedule had to
be made to accommodate the
students not studying military
tactics.
Bro. Louis Thein divided
the P. T. students into two
basketball groups, which will
meet four times a week for
half-hour periods in the fu-
ture. It was hoped that a
volleyball unit would be or-
ganized, but very few stu-
dents favored the sport, and
it was dropped.
Bro. Louis added that the
regular intramural basketball
league would continue, and
urged all cadets to continue
their P. T. course if they so
desired. Baseball, tennis, and
swimming groups will be or-
ganized in the not too distant
future. Amid profound re-
gret, Brother Louis announced
that P. T. lectures would not
be held Weekly as heretofore,
but only at announced periods.

Off The Court
The second half of the cage
race is over, and the Inde-
pendents, we believe, are
rather glad of it. They fin-
ished up with a total of one
win and four losses for a per-
centage of .200. Not by any
means an imposing average.
However, the winning of the
first half championship in-
sures the team a place in the
round robin which will deter-
mine the city champions, so
we are well satisfied. Now,
if the Saints can demonstrate
the muchly-needed power of
resilience and regain the form
demonstrated during the first
half, things in general may
perk up for them.
The writer stated in the
last edition of The Rattler
that the lack of capable re-
serve material was mainly re-
sponsible for the defeats of
the Independents. We still
believe that, but wish to sup-
plement our statement. After
witnessing the Telephone
Company and Chiropractic
College games, we might add
that the lack of height is an-
other important item to be
considered in attempting to
analyze the causes for the
losses of the Saints.
Big Pat Haberer, standing
some six feet five, looped 22
points against the Independ-
ents. The Independent guards
were helpless against Haberer.
The big fellow simply re-
mained under his goal and
calmly tapped the ball into the
basket as it was passed to him.
In the Hawk game, the tre-
mendous height advantage of
the Ghiros undoubtedly meant
victory for them. Giants like
Vilcoq, Wagner, Juraschek,
and company cannot be com-
peted with. At least not by
small men as the Independ-
ents ^depend upon to keep
down the opposing team’s
score.
A tabulation of the points
collected by individual players
of the Independent team at
the close of the regular season
might be incapacitated be-
cause of a fall from the ele-
vated “ring” here at St.
Mary’s.
Earl Lowe, instructor of the
Blue and Gold, will use only
about five men this time
against the Y team. No light-
weights will be sent against
the Y.
Belated Rally
Fails Against
Texas Chiros
Samis Lose 43-29
In the final contest of the
second half of the race for
the Commercial Gage league
pennant, the Independents
suffered another loss, this
time to the 1931 city cham-
pions, the Texas Chiropractic
College Hawks. The score
was 43-29.
The Independents, after
having played a scintillating
game against the Telephone
Company a few nights pre-
vious, fell into their former
ways of listless playing dur-
ing the first half of the con-
test with the Hawks, and the
champions had -easy sailing.
Manager Virgil Winters of
the Hawks injected his second
string into the game at the
opening of the second half,
and the Independents began
locating the basket with
alarming rapidity. Winters
then sent his regulars back
into the fray, but they fared
little better. However, the
lead garnered in the first half
was more than enough to see
the Chiropractors through,
and the Independents were
once more chalked up with a
loss.
The line-ups:
St. M. (29) Ghiros (43)
Johnson (8) F Risinger (8)
Brown (4) F J. Hill (7)
Lowe (9) C Vilcoq (12)
Kelly (5) G Wagner (5)
Kane (3) G Juraschek (2)

Hill (7), Harris (1), Velt-
man (1).
revealed that Earl Lowe, cap-
tain of last year’s Rattlers,
led the team, scoring 112
points during the nine games
played. He was followed by
Johnson (97), Brown (84),
Kelly (31), Kane (31), Web-
ster (19), Hesse (15), Fili-
zola (5), and Licata (1).
Filizola, reserve guard,
committed more fouls than
any of his teammates, though
he played but a small por-
tion of the time. Chicken
fouled 22 times. Filizola is an
aggressive player, and this
fact accounts for the high
number of fouls accredited to
him.
The round robin, which
will determine the winner of
the city cage title, begins dur-
ing the week of February 8.
The Independents’ first two
games are against the two
strongest teams in the loop,
the Sam Houston Bankers and
the Ghiro Hawks. As this
goes to press, the results are
not known.
Let’s have a look at the In-
tramural teams. The Junior-
Seniors are leading the inter-
class league, though they have
played but one contest. The
Residents, with two wins and
one loss, are holding down
second position, along with
Independents Win
Over Plumbers
The St. Mary’s Independ-
ents broke their small string
of losses on the evening of
January 27 by pummeling the
lowly Rich Plumbers, 59-38.
Johnson led the attack upon
the basket for the Saints, col-
lecting 21 points, while Lowe
followed with 17. By virtue
of this victory, the Independ-
ents pushed the Plumbers
farther into the cellar posi-
tion, and placed themselves
in an insignificant post di-
rectly above their hapless op-
ponents of the evening.
The win Was the first of the
second half for the St. Mary’s
entrant in the Commercial
Gage league.
The line-ups:
St. M (59) R. P. (38)
Brown (10) F Howard (9)
Johnson (21 )F Gaylor (9)
Lowe (17) G Oakley (2)
Kelly (2) G Rice (2)
Kane (9) G Lashbrook (8)
Substitutes: St. Mary’s:
Gates, Filizola. Plumbers:
Franks, Burniss (4), Collier,
Jackson (4).
Hello Boys Cop
Overtime Battle
Final Score 57-55
Fighting in typical Marian
fashion, despite the absence
of Kane, stellar guard, the In-
dependents fought the Bell
Telephone Company to a
standstill in the regular limit
of play, and forced the Hello
boys to struggle mightily in
the extra period of play in or-
der to eke out a win over the
Saints, 57-55.
The score at the end of the
regular game time stood 49-
49. During the extra five-
minute period the Saints
coped with the Telephone
team on equal terms until the
final few seconds of play,
when Pat Haberer, star center
of the Phonemen, looped his
tenth field goal of the game
to cinch the victory for his
team.
Lowe led the Independents
in scoring, tallying 20 points,
while Haberer scored 22 for
the Hello boys. Rabon, star
forward for the Telephone
Company, was held to three
points by the close guarding
of Kelly, Independent guard.
The line-ups:
St. M (55) B. Tel. (57
Johnson (16) F Means (11)
Brown (12) F Murray (5)
Lowe (20) G Haberer (22)

the Sophs. The other three
teams have all lost one game,
and consequently are tied for
the cellar position.
The Junior-Senior team is
favored again to dominate the
intramural activities, this time
in basketball. However, the
team captain is having diffi-
Ye Campus Gossip
With pen in hand, I again
will write a few bits of gossip
that have come to me, both
on and off the campus. Today
we will learn something about
two outstanding men on the
“University” campus! “Whot-
ta Man” Jim Chalkley and
“Pupadupe” Decker. “O. K.”
here we go.
Oh boy! I think we are go-
ing to have an early spring.
You know—“In the Spring a
young man’s fancy lightly
turns to thoughts of love.”
Listen to this choice piece of
gossip and see if you all won’t
agree with me. Did overhear
a babbler yesterday say that
“Wotta Man” Jim Chalkley
was deeply in love. I might say
that he has been bitten by
“that old love bug.” The only
proof I have, though, is in his
gasoline bill, which is well
over $25.00 a month, and his
ten dates a week with a cer-
tain blonde. Perhaps the “de-
pression” has kept him from
having more dates than this.
This large gas bill and a small
amount of dates may just
mean friendship and I may
be wrong about love. For ab-
solute proof to this idle babble
just say “Kelly Field” to him
and watch him change into a
gawk and give you an unfor-
gettable glower. Yes it is a
pity, and such a nice chappie
too!
We all know that “Pupa-
dupe” Decker is an eminent
man, both in the business and
social world, and that he is
irresistible to the fair sex (ask
Decker). But he did a certain
thing the other day that lost
him a fair admirer. This cer-
tain “frail” said that she was
all disillusioned because she
saw Decker take his little
brother’s kite away from him
and play with it himself. Yes,
she said he was running mad-
ly up and down the street
yelling with glee as the kite
started to fly. Perhaps this is
the only way for “pupadupe”
Decker to get up in the world,
huh?
Mardi Gras Is
Well Received
For the benefit of those who
might have missed the first
Freshman dance this term,
held at the Casino Glub, Feb-
ruary 5, 1932 — this Mardi
Gras “went over” with a
crash.
Those of fame present
were: Two high “ranking’,’ R.
O. T. G. officers; two Pea-
cock cadets; four very good
looking honorees; and fresh-
men, freshmen, and—more
freshmen.
It is now in order to thank
with all the freshmen’s bulg-
ing hearts, the upperclassmen
for their generous support.
If laughter and smiles are
an indication of pleasure, ev-
eryone present, even “stags,”
had the well known “delight-
ful time.”
