thrill again this year to tho tuno of
24 football letter awards. As is tra-
ditional in this school Prof. Burnam

ner Joo Pee Larry Cunningham

Theso boys havo played their last
games for the university at the con-
clusion of the past season.
Junior jackets were similar to
those of tho seniors but were not re-
versible nnd lacked tho satin lining.
They were all-gold jackets with lea-
ther sleeves.
Boys receiving these jackets nnd
who will be back next year were L.
B. "Scat" Russell Wilford Moore
Estcl Baker Owen Goodnight Sam

Lewis Charles "Long John" Tread-
way Deward Marcum Robert "Bob"
Cowsar who left school at the start

Peru Wins Over Locals
In Final Game 54-40
Peru College's Bobcats downed the
Cowboys 54 to 40 In tho Corral Fri-
day night February 23 in the Ranch-
ers' final game of tho season.
The Bobcats grabbed an early lead
of 10 to 0 but the locals made a
challenge by scoring 16 points with-
in tho next five minutes and led 15
to 14. It was tho only timo during
tho gamo that tho Ranchers were
ahead of the Bobcats.
In the second half Peru gradually
pulled away. Truett Rattan arid
D. A. Parker of the Cowboys were
top scorers with 14 and 13 points re-
spectively. How Well Do
You Write
(Editor's Note: This column Is to
be a weekly feature on letter writ-
ing contributed by members of
the H-SU Business Correspondence
class giving helpful hints on how
to make your letters attract more
attention. This week's contribu
tion is by John L. Wilson.
COLLECTION APPEALS
A "dun" is not the very best way
to a person's continued good will nor
to his continued trade; therefore writ-
ing a collection letter must bo like
asking your roommate for that dollar
ho has owed you for two weeks tact-
ful. However the amount and extent
of tact used should be varied with
different types of delinquent ac
counts.
Business firms have three kinds of
customers: those who arc good pay
those woh are fair and those who
nro rather doubtful. Dn't jump to the
conclusion that a customer who is us-
ually good pay has turned crook.
Mnybo an earthquake destroyed his
store a drouth ruined his crops or
his wife overdrew his bank account.
For this type of customer and the
one who is fairly good pay merely an
itemized statement or a courteous
business like reminder may suffice.
If however he does not yet seem in
clined to pay a personal letter usually
strikes close to home.
The fellow who habitually "puts
off" paying his bills docs not expect
nor deserve much leniency. You may
say "pay or else" to him very soon
after his account goes over the line.
But even here don't lose sight of
thoughtfulness and courtesy because
you do still want his continued busi-
ness and probably won't keep it by a
smart or discourteous "dun."
If the person is an average man
an appeal to his pride in his usually
good record of credit or to his self-
interest not to lose his credit rating
will rbably get some response. There
is an extreme to go to in tact even.
By all means do not apologize for
asking for what is rightfully yours.
You can always create good will by
asking for an explanation and offer-
ing to help if it is possible.
After everything else has failed
try something different. Just as a
good swingy brass band lures you
into n sideshow at tho carnival so a
humorous novel letter may jar your
debtor into sending you a check.
Remember this the fellow who
doesn't pay you on timo may bo hav-
ing cqunlly as hard a time getting
someone else to pay him so bo pa-
tient before being threatening.

Fifteen Players
Report Tuesday
Fifteen players reported Tuesday
to Physical Education Director Otho
Polk and Karl Bonncaux and Ralph
Beard student managers of tho II-
HSU Ranger baseballcrs to map
plans for the coming diamond season.
Several promising new aspirants
were on hand and Bonncaux and
Beard aro looking forward for them
to bolster the club in several posi-
tions left vacant by last year's grad-
uates. In a short work-out after the
meeting Armond Jones freshman
footballer seemed to have plenty of
"stuff" on his slants off the mound.
With a little Improvement nnd lim-
bering up ho should be doing regular
pitching duties by the opening of the
season.
Tho Abilene Amateur league com-
posed of six clubs will operate as it
did last season. Teams entered in the
league aro Abilene Christian college
McMurry college Abilene State hos-
pital Abilene All-Stars Abilene Re-
creational department and H-SU.
Last season the H-SU Rangers won
tho championship in a playoff with
tho ACC Wildcats. Beard and Bon-
ncaux expect to have a strong ag-
gregation ready for their opening
game and both believe that they will
put up a stubborn fight in defense
of their championship.
Practice sessions were held duiing
the week whenever It was convenient
for the players and regular drill will
begin next week.
The Rangers hope to play at least
three practice games with other nines
before the season begins. First pre-
season tilt is scheduled for Wednes-
day with the State Hospital team.

By WAOIL McNAIR
Sports Editor
The H-SU Rnngers will bo out aft
er their second successive champion
ship when the baseball season gets
underway toward tho middle of the
month. Last year with the superb
pitching of Bud Reeves nnd Bob Cow-
sar the Rangers led the league
throughout the season nnd then went
on to subdue ACC in the playoff nnd
win.
This year they will be without the
services of the two star moundsmen
as Reeves graduated last June and
Cowsar withdrew from school recent-
ly. To mnke matters worse Reeves
will be playing against tho Rnngers.
He is lined up with a team entered
by Chnrley Pond from the Abilene
Recreational department. Bedford
"Hook" Russell former Ranger first
baseman will also play on Pond's team
this year. Ralph Beard and Karl
Bonncnux student managers of the
Rangers nre already looking for their
toughest competition to come from
this aggregation.
Incidentally Beard and Bonncaux
have done a good job of bringing the
diamond sport back to Hardin-Simmons.
There wns a lapse of several
years when tho institution was repre-
sented by no team. In the spring of
1938 their freshman year Beard and
Bonncaux gathered a crew of stu
dents nnd played several games with
the State Hospital nine. Baseball in-
terest began to mount then and last
year the Abilene Amateur League
was organized. At present there is
so much interest thnt it seems prob-
ablc that the league will be a per-
manent organization.
Due to lnck of talent H-SU did
not have a varsity tennis team last
year. Right now Coach Ballard
could get a team together that would
not be the strongest in the world
but if they could get somo inter-collegiate
competition under their belts
there would bo some power next year.
It would be expecting too much to
think Coach Ballard could turn out n
winner with only one or two expe-
rienced players. But if we intend to

by all means we have got to start
sometime. Therefore these players
should be allowed to get a little ex-
perience this year with n few Inter-
collegiate matches. '
It has become common here of Iato
to hear of n football coach being re-
leased or unemployed but "Clipper"
Smith Villanova head mentor camo
as near to establishing a monopoly
in the coaching game last week as
anyone has at least this year. He
accepted a position to tutor the Loy-
ola Lions of Los Angeles and appar-
ently everything was set for him to
take over at the coast school. But
Villanova stilt claimed him and they
made their claim known. Tho Lions
of course claimed him too. So far a
few days he held the position of head
coach at both institutions. Conclud-
ing that ho would havo to make a
choice he finally decided in favor of
his old stronghold at Villanova. He
has done himself credit there during
the last few seasons and the Cowboys
were nlrcady looking forward to meet-
ing one of his teams when they en-
gage the Loyolans in conflict next
fall but now it is not known whose
team they will bo playing as the
Lions have not named another man
yet.
Press clippings from papers in the
north eastern part of the state reveal
the Dcnison high school is pleased
to have secured the services of Clark
Jamagin and peoplo in that neigh-
borhood nre confident that he will
bo a great help to their team. Here
wo know that he has been one of the
best assistants ever to work with the
Cowboys and he was one of the
greatest players ever to don a Cow-
boy uniform.
Three cheers to the Rice Owls for
winning the Southwest .conference
basketball crown. After performing
as tho "hard luck" team of tho con-
ference in footbnll they deserve their
cage championship.
