THE COLLEGE STAR
DOUGHBOYS TRAMPLE
FROSH ON LONG RUNS
Scoring Begins After
An Evenly Battled
First Half
The Freshmen have a great foot-
ball club but breaks, and only
breaks, lost a g-aame for them last
Friday afternoon to the 23rd In-
fantry Doughboys, 13-7.
Throughout the first half the
Bobkittens kept the ball well in
the Soldiers’ territory, twice nos-
ing within the ten yard stripe, ibut
the heavy 23rd line held. A pass
over the goal gave the Doughboys
the ball on the 20 yard line.
The second half opened with a
bang. The Frosh kicked off and
downed Payne, fullback for the
Army, in his tracks. On the next
play, Bingham slid off tackle for a
sensational 80 yard run before be-
ing downed by Weckter. Taking
their turn, the Bobkittens began
to shine. Weckter, on the kick-
off, grabbed that much-battered
pigskin and raced down the field
through the entire Army eleven
for a touchdown. The run meas-
ured about 95 yards. Carnes con-
verted, giving the Frosh a one-
point lead. They held this margin
until Umberger, Army quarter-
back, put the game on ice by a
heartbreaking 80 yard winning
dash.
Late in the third period Math-
ews, giant fullback for the Fish,
completed a pass and ran 50 yards
for a fluke touchdown. The offi-
cials went into one of their numer-
ous huddles and called the ball
back to the 40 yard stripe, claim-
ing that Mathews had stepped out
of bounds.
By this time, Weckter, who had
been plajying a heady game at
quarter, approached the sideline
and asked Coach Shands to replace
him, as he was extremely fatigued.
This action reminds one of Cap-
tain Tay Brown of U. S. C. who
gained fame for himself last year
by asking his Coach to send in
a substitution for him in the Notre
Dame game, stating that a fresh
third stringer was better than a
tired hero.
Sending in an entire new team,
the Doughboys had the advantage
over the tired, battle-worn Fish.
With just two minutes to play,
the Fish saw their victory go
rambling down the field in the
arms of the fleet-footed Captain
Umberger who ripped off tackle to
begin his 80 yard run, spelling vic-
tory for the Army and defeat for
the Bobkittens. The only chance
the Kittens had of stopping him
was spoiled by an official who got
in the way of the Kitten safety
man.
Little Gensiberg is following in
the footsteps of his big brother
Frank, and he featured in almost
every play. Mathews, who did
the punting for the Frosh, aver-
aged about forty-five yards.
The work of Umberger, Payne,
and Bingham, in the backfield, and
Menifee, Jones, and Moody, in the
line, was outstanding. For the
Bobkittens, Gensberg, Mathews,
Caldwell, Pattan, and Weckter
were the big guns of the day.

Jeffs Debate
Bonus Question
At the last meeting of the Jef-
fersonian Literary Society, a hot
debate on the soldiers’ bonus ques-
tion formed the nucleus of the prin-
cipal bones of contention.
Thomas Yoakum spoke for the
affirmative side, while York Wil-
burn shook his head and upheld
the negative viewpoint.
After these two main speakers
had given the question a sound
thrashing, open bouse discussion
was in order, several members of
the society giving interesting short
talks upholding their personal out-
look. Judging from the pro and
con discussions, it would be diffi-
cult to determine the most logical
solution.
One member was added, and one
application for membership was
registered.

She is enrolled in the college
here, doing special work which will
be beneficial in her field of work.
The possession of such a line of
ancestors has not made her false-

humble and sincere. Her forefath-

tain what they sought, and she is
not content to do less than the best
she can to carry on the work in
the field of education and religion.

cereal, toast and eggs, and coffee,
we drove to the school to get a
view of the buildings and a few
other things. There we saw an old
Bobcat, “Wee Willie” Bo McMil-
lan. We were invited to attend
chapel at 10 o’clock—that was a
novel experience for some of our
boys who never attend at home.
There we heard some yells, jokes,
and short talks by some of the
players and faculty, telling the
students how nice they were going
to treat us during the day and
then just beat the dickens out of
us that night. I don’t remember
just who made that statement, but
that night we reversed its mean-
ing.
Tuesday we got on the outside
of a real dinner, one of the best
prepared meals we ever had. Of,
course, we did not eat quite every-
thing.
As to the game, the Bobcats
proved themselves capable of hand-
ling the situation at hand. The
Stephen F. Austin freshmen pro-
vided action and excitement dur-
ing the half. All of them were
dressed in tacky costumes. One
of them used a barrel, together
with other paraphernalia to com-
plete his ensemble. Later they had
a scuffle in finding their shoes,
which were strewn all over the
field. This game was different
from others we have played in that
the timers sat at a table on the
sidelines as in basketball games.
All substitutions were reported
there.
Wednesday morning we departed
on our homeward journey. We
stopped for dinner at Navasota.
Then all went well until we got
on this side of Austin. There,
slowly but surely, the bus became
afflicted with a dreadful malady
causing that vital organ, the uni-
versal joint, to cease functioning.
In spite of this, all the boys man-
aged to get home by about 7
o’clock.
William Crozier, generally called
“Bill,” made a call at the Ratliff
House at 2 o’clock Sunday after-
noon. He came all the way up
from Flatonia, where he is now
teaching in the high school. He
says that it'was a tough break to
come a hundred miles to see a girl,
only to find that she already has
a date.

1926 it arose into the catagory of
a standard college annual, which
is a very commendable stride for
a college of this size.
Dr. C. S. Smith, of the Biology
Department, has again come thru
victoriously in one of his practices,
that is, being the first person to
sign up for a Pedagog picture ap-
pointment. Having held this dis-
tinction for many years, Dr. Smith
intends to keep it.
The management announces that
a complete list of Pedagogs and
many yearbooks from various col-
leges throughout the state are on
hand, and invites anyone desiring
to look through them to drop in

junctures that they were forced
to bolster themselves with a heav-
ily concealed and equally heavily
charged “tonics" from beneath
their overcoats; yes, the table was
set deliberately for a triumphant
spread, but for the Lumberjacks
the cream soured in the coffee due
to this apparently disregarded de-
tail; namely, if Stephen F. wanted
to annex a night decision, what in
the platform of the rival political
party did they mean by inviting
Cats as the honor guests? Surely
that ancient axiom of “Every dog
has his day and every Tom Cat
his night” should have been re-
called by them, but seemingly it
wasn’t and the Bobcats had their
“night out” by scratching lustily
down the Lumberjack’s alley to
compile a rousing 25 to 6 triumph.
The issue was as one-sided as
a family argument, since from the
opening kickoff it was apparent
that the home clubs stood no more
chance than a temperance scruple
in Juarez. A hard charging Bob-
cat line proved as difficult to pen-
etrate as a banker’s reserve, the
Axemen failing to chop through
the Feline’s forward wall for a
single first down, the Doches club’s
aerial game registering their only
gains. Besides the score of the
Jacks, which was made on a play
as fluky as a get-rich-ovemight
proposition, Stephen F. Austin
chalked up but one first down, a
flip from Netter to McKewen.
For the most part, San Marcos
-terrain was as untouched as the
ice box during the minister’s visit,
the hard-driving offensive of Stra-
han’s charges keeping the action
entirely in Stephen F. Austin prop-
erty. The Cats pai'aded as stead-
ily as a convention -band, the Lum-
berjack warriors’ heroics being con-
fined to spasmodic stubborness on
the pay stripe.
Two- backs which stood out like
a gold-digger’s hand led the Cat
carousal; first, the smashing Ger-
mer in whose cognomen the first
syllable was sharply accented for
his rivals, as the bruising Bobcat
certainly proved a “Germ” (ty-
phoid or your most feared malady)
to the foes. This Germer bucked
like a kid enroute to the- dental
chair and he showed more drive
than a domineering straw boss. His
companion in the Cat prowl was
the elusive “Pullman” Porter, who
proved harder to bring down than
a trust company’s rates, the fleet
Feline cutting back faster than a
desperate Ethiopian in a
scuffle. Together the Touchdown
Twins compiled more yardage than
the floorwalking father of sus-
tained static sounding off-spring.
Splendid blocking by their team-
mates enabled these, particularly
Porter, to reach the open road.
Out on left end, “Kid” Glover
blocked like a demurrer, the wary
wingman handling his tackle like
a wife does a husband’s pay day.
Horton, whose punting shone like
Katie’s nose at day break, also
ran more interference than in-laws
can supply, while the neatest block
of the day was produced by Porter
on Ward’s end (wouldn’t it sound
funny if we ended tne sentence
there) play.
To the scrapping Bobcat leader,
Elvin Read, the conquest was as
sweet as- a “blind” date’s voice-
sounds over the telephone. Play-
ing on the field which in his high
school days meant the most event-
ful moments of his career, the Luf-
kin youth proved as inspiring to
his teammates as “throat gargle”
is to Uncle Lem. Read hustled
harder than a candidate at a box
sopp-er, and he followed the play
closer than a fault-seeking critic.
While Sitrahan’s picket row in
its entirety was as steady as the
rent collector, yet -one member in
particular sparkled like a wall
flower’s eyes when she observes a
in the clash to pave the way for
the initial Bobcat tally, and the
same performer rushing through
to obtrude the Axemen’s try for
extra point. Corner, gritty guard,
and “Fifth” Ward, towering tackle,
also stopped more plays than a se-
vere censor board.
For the losers, Netters consti-
tuted the offensive with a pair of
pegs, while the unquenchable Cap-
tain McKewen fought as unceas-
ingly as a disgruntled married cou-
ple.
The Cats scratched the cashier’s
booth shortly after hostilities com-
menced. On the 30, Corner and
Houston broke through on Moore,
the Jack’s kicker and Houston
pounced on the punt. “Pullman”
Porter and Horton registered a
first down and San Marcos slashed
to the 1-yard ribbon where the
Jacks proved as stubborn as an
opposite viewpoint, the Stra-han-
men failing to make the yardage.
However, they came back like a
hot check, and before five minutes
of the tilt had been consumed, “Ty-
phoid” Germer crashed over the
Stephen F. left tackle for the mark-
er. Horton’s attempted placement
was wide. The starting frame end-
ed with the Jack’s holding the oval
on their own 34-yard stripe.
Horton fumbled to begin the
second stanza and the Axemen re-
covered. But then Captain Read
went through like an official badge
wearer to smear an attempted lat-
eral pass, and Porter pounced upon
a loose ball. Porter and Germer
staged more drives than a charity
organization, the march being cli-
maxed when “Good” Gott rang the
bell over the Jacks’ right guard.
Horton’s try for point was again
as wide as the carnival fat lady's
hips.
Then came what for Stephen F.
constituted a -break as big as the
breach between Hoover and Gar-
ner. On his own 20, Netters flung
an aerial, a S-an Marcos performer
attempting to break up the pass
caromed the ball skyward, and it
came down into the arms of Terry
on the 40. The Jack’s back was
as loose as a traveller on a train
departing from Reno, and he pro-
ceeded to skip the remaining 60
yard as unchecked as a gawky
girl’s name on a swimming party
list. Houston “chestily” took
Moore’s placement.
“Good” Gott was injured on Ter-
ry’s dash and was replaced by
“Neither” Norris.
The half ended shortly after with
the Bobcats molesting the Jack’s
goal from the 35-yard range.
Following the intermission, Stra-
han’s slashers continued to cut up.
After an exchange of punts on
which Horton proved some 25 yards
the better, the Bobcats continued
rambling -the route, Porter packing
the pigskin for the points. Again
San Marcos found the extra point
heathenish—they couldn’t convert
it—Germer’s try being as far off
as a guess on a movie queen’s age.
Ward, on an end around, an-
nexed 20 and the Driving Duet,
Poi'ter and Germer, sung on with
Norris, striking the pay sand over
the Stephen F. right side.
At last the Bobcats trimmed a
touchdown, Germer’s boot wabbling
over the cross bar as shakily as
a Scotchman’s check writing hand.
Netters flipped to McKewen for
a 25-yard gain, but shortly after,
the referee’s whistle announced
that it was the Cat’s night to
razor
squall.

They hear that everybody iis read-

without further consideration. Who
are they to say nay, nay? Nine
people out of ten who condemn
them have never looked at any-

condemns them publicly and reads
them privately. This sort of per-
son has wrinkled his brows for so
long, attempting to gain the
“thinker expression,” that he has
become as prudish as a reformed

gest “Ballyhoo,” from cover to

Tennyson too seriously when he
