(Robstown Record)
What is believed to be tlje ancient
site of a crude and hastily-dug grave
for the interment of Indians was
found Wednesday of last week on the
W. E. Richardson farm west, of Robs-
town.
Richardson and his son were dig-
ging post holes along the bank of
Banquete Creek when what appeared
to be human-bones were noticed in
the dirt being brought out of the
holes and protruding from the ground
around the location of the p.ost hole.
Becoming interested in these bones,
Mr. Richardson extended his excava-
tion and found a great many human
bones. Some arrowheads and a crude
whetstone also were found in1 the
grave.
Further excavation with a bit of
care as to disturbing the original ar-
rangement of the bones revealed
what apparently formerly was a huge
grave containing a large number of
bodies of human beings of every age.
Apparently the bodies were dumped
into this grave hastily and with no
system.- Some skeletons were lying
across others. Some jaw bones were
small and contained the milk teeth
of children. Other jaw bones con-
tained the worn teeth of the aged.

The bones were in an advanced'
stage of decomposition and were, so
ehalky that they were difficult to.
handle intact. The reddish tinge to
the bones makes Mr. Richardson be-
lieve that they are skeletons of In-
dians. He has excavated ancient-
graves of Indians in Central Texas
and the bones in those graves were
of similar color.
Reconstructing the ancient scene,
Mr. Richardson believes that the
grave was made by raiding Indians
following a massacre of a hostile
tribe.
Department^ of history and anth-
ropology at the College of Arts and
Industries at Kingsville have become
interested in the grave and expect to
make a careful study of the findings.

The undefeated Armadillo^ of San
Saba came to Lampasas Armistice day
t/o play the Badgers. The Badgers
and Armadillos have always been
friendly rivals and have looked for-
ward to winning this game each year.
This defeat was the first that the
Armadillos have given the Badgers
in four football seasons. Last year’s
Badger team defeated the Armadillos
by a score of 25 to 0. It is understood
that a team cannot win every time,
and the citizens of Lampasas should
be proud of the eleven players who
represented our town and school. Es-
pecially should they be complimented
for the way that they played the-
game.
The lineup: Lampasas—Hammett,
right end; Hallenbeck, right tackle;
Asher, right guard; Smith, center;
Capt. Delbert'Yazell, left guard; L.

San Saba—Hartley, right end; Gun-
ter, right tackle; Burnham, right
guard; T. Moore, center; Hoyt, left
guard; Fagg, left tackle; P. Moore,
left end; Smithhart, left halfback;
Hayes, right halfback; Taylor, full-
back, and Whitt, quarterback. Aver-
age weight, 167 pounds.
Lampasas substituted Nuckles for
Howard at left end.
Summary: Lampasas and San
Saba made five first downs each.
Lampasas gained approximately
8414 yards by line plunges, and San
Saba gained approximately 79 yards
by line plunges.

complete and 15 incomplete for a .gain
of 75 yards. San Saba passed 3 times'

average of 25 yards, and San Saba
punted 10 times for an average of 25
yards.
Lampasas received 2 penalties of 5
yards and 15 yards, respectively, and
San Saba received' 2 penalties of 15
yards each.
A large number of students met at
the high school at 7 o’clock Tuesday
night, and marched down to the cor-
ner of Third and Western avenue. The
Band took -the lead from there and
they marched to the Band Stand. Yells
were given and music was played.
Then the peppy group marched back
to the show and mos't of the crowd
went in to see the show. The foot-
ball boys were admitted free of
chai'ge. Between the shows the foot-
ball boys went upon the stage where
all could see them. Coach D. S. Moore
made a speech and then he called up-
on a loyal booster, Mr. Roy L. Walk-
er, to make a speech. Everyone
knows what fine speeches Mr. Walker
has made in the past, but all of the
people who heard his last one, readily
agree that it was his best. The pep
shown that night in precedence of the
Lampasas-San Saba game was great, I ended the game
The football boys were entertained
Wednsday from 11 to 1:30 at the high
school auditorium by the Home Eco-
nomics III class. The boys were
greeted by loud cheering and songs
by the girls. After they were settled
Kathryn Fields gave two tap dance
numbers and then the curtain raised.
The radio announcer announced sta-
tion B-A-D-G-E-R was fortunate in
/securing slides of the Lampasas and
San Saba game—that San Saba out-
weighed Lampasas by 35 pounds and
that newspapers were sure San Saba
would win, but that the game hadn’t
been played and that the Badgers were
peppy and they had a good chance to
win *yet. The curtain arose and the
opening scenes were of a peppy pep
squad in costume, consisting of squad
leader Fields, Susie Bird, Nelda Per-
ry, Ellen Mae Bailey, Mary Eunice
and Tilleta Hendricks. Then the two
teams came on the field. The Badger
line-up was Sewell, guard, and Capt.
Butts, guard. San Saba line-up was
Dickens, guard, and Capt. Hendricks,
guard. The next slide to be shown
was the last play. In this Capt. Butts

FOOTBALL GAME ARMISTICE
THE “L”
In keeping with the day, the pep
squad formed an “L” during the half
at the football game Wednesday, of
America’s starred and striped flags
and blue and white flags, the school
colors. A procession headed by squad
leaders Kathryn Field and Bess Noi'-
thington, and followed by about 35
girls in uniform, and squad leader
James Gamel, marched up the field to
the 40-yard line and formed the let-
ter “L.” They then marched into a
huddle and gave 6 peppy yells. They
returned to the former position, left
the flags forming a capital “L” and
marched off.

NEW STUDENT
Nadine Medart is a welcome stu-
dent to our school, coming from near
Killeen. It is hoped that she will
like our school, and can make good
use of her work here.
Miss Mary Florence McCullough
motored to Goldthwaite the week end
of November 8th.
The large number of Lampasas
boosters who attended the Lampasas-
San Saba game on Nov. 11, showed
high esteem in which the Badger team
is held by the town. The greatest
rival that Lampasas has in football
is San Saba and vice versa, too. Ac-
cording to Coach Moore, “The boys
played marvelously and I’m proud of
them.” The pep squad from San Saba
gave a drill dui-ing the first part of
the half, and then those good old
colors, blue and white, were the cen-
ter of attraction. The pep squad
marched onto the field, each girl hold-
ing the U. S. flag in her left hand
and a blue and white one in her right
hand. They again formed the L,
stooped down, stuck a flag in both
sides of the letter and marched off
the field., leaving the blue and white,
and the red, white and* blue flutter-
ing on the field in the shape of an L.
Even though the Armadillos won,
the Badgers still have that fighting
spirit, and, who knows, next year
there may be a different story to tell
and record in the history of L. H. S.
WHAT WILL THE OUTCOME BE?
San Saha came on the 11th in a
big way, and look what they did;
Brady is coming on the 20th in a big
way and what will they do ? Those
who saw the Badgers playArmistice,
know what they can and will do. The
boys played an excellent game and
when you do your best, as they did,
you have nothing to regret. Brady
has high hopes placed on this game,
but Lampasas has brighter liopes. It
is known the boys will do their best
but what will the rest of the town
do ? A house is no stronger than its
foundation, nor is a team stronger
than its supporters. Boost the Bad-
gers. Attend the enthusiastic pep
rally to be held Thursday night, No-
vember 19 at 7:15 in the high school
auditorium and prove you are for the
team.
going at full force.
Then Mary E. Taliaferro brought
out an Armadillo and showed Lam-
pasas already had the San Sabians.
Dinner was then served to 16 men,
Coach Moore and Principal Rowntree.
While they were eating the girls con-
tinued playing and yelling.
Captain Yazell thanked Miss Tomp-
kins and the girls, and the boys went
out to dress for the game in high
spirits and with serious intentions.

THE INTELLIGENCE
TESTS EXPLAINED
Miss Tompkins, Lurline Creekmore,
Bess Northington, Mildred Butts, Mil-
dred Remans and Laffell Everett at-
tended District H; Home Economic
Convention last Saturday in Brady.
Bess was the retiring president of
the district and Lurline was elected as
reporter of the district for the coming
year. They reported a nice trip and
said the next meeting would be held
in Dublin, sometime this spring. The
girls rebeive great benefit from these
meetings.
Badger Midgets won a decisive vic-
tory over Lake Victor Friday by a
score of 32 to.,0. These boys are show-
ing the real fighting spirit and Lam-
pasas is expecting a regional cham-
pionship to be realized from this
training in a few years. Coach Rown-
tree is certainly seeing they start
their football experience in the right
way.
It is the function of an intelligence
scale to yield a measure of a pupil’s
general intelligence, or general mental
ability. By giving the same test to
a large number of students whose
chronological age are the same and
then taking the average of these
grades, it is found what the average
student of this age should make. In
this way average grades are found.
For instance, it was found that the
average ten year old child will make
a score of 45 on the test. Then if a
student scores 45, regardless of what
his chronological age may be, he has
a mental age of ten. But in order
to compare two persons directly, any
existing differences in maturity must
be eliminated. This elimination is ac-
complishment by the Intelligence Quo-
tient. To get this I. Q. the mental
age of the pupil is divided by the
chronological age and the result is
said to be the Intelligence Quotient
or I. Q.
The pupils who make the average
score on the tests are the ones for
whom the work of the school is best
fitted, the ones who make the lowest
score are the dull pupils or those who
are slow to learn, and those w;ho make
the highest scores are the bright class
that the nation will depend on for
work of importance in the future.
The lecent tests given in this school
show that the students, as a whole,
are above the average with some ap-
proaching the genius mark while
others fall below normal.
In the eig'hth grade the lowest mark
was an I. Q., of 90 which just is nor-
mal, while the highest mark was an
I. Q. of 120 which is superior, with
a middle class with an I. Q. of'' 107
which is slightly above normal. The
range of these students in mental
age as shown by the tests is from
the sixth grade to the tenth grade.
•While the highest score in the Sen-
ior class borders on genius, the low-
est score ini that class is lower than
any gi*ade made in the ninth grade
and only eight Freshmen • made low-
er than it.
By these tests the faculty members
are able to see just how high each
student’s mental age is, if he is be-
low or above the average of students
of his chronological age, and by the
I. Q. to compare each student’s score
with other members of his class.

PEP SQUAD PARADE
About 2 o’clock Wednesday after-
noon, Nov. ,11, the pep squad met at
the high school. There were several
cars decorated in blue and white and
they got in a line to march over town
and yell and sing. James Gamel had
an Armadillo on top of- Gladys Har-
key’s car and “accidentally dropped
it hard! James also fell off but he
is only suffering from a sore knee.
The mascot, Carol Jean Moore, was
along and added much to the general
pep.
Frances McCann and LaNelle Harn
