WOMEN S INTRAMURAL DEPARTMENT The Women’s Intramural Department has just completed a very successful year under the capable direction of the manager, the assistant manager, and the heads of sports. Each activity was entered in¬ to by a larger number of girls than in the past years, and we feel that these girls who are taking part in this department, in addition to their classwork, will be far better prepared to teach as they have a more rounded education. The following is a list of the year’s activities and the champions of each: Volleyball —Sophomores; Basketball — Sophomores; Baseball — Sophomores; Ping Pong—Anne Bryant; Foul Shooting—Wilma Dean Sherrod; Horseshoe —Hazel Chandler; Cro¬ quet-Nancy Hale, This, the second year for the circus which was sponsored by the Physical Education Department, was again a great success due to the willingness and co-operation of both the women’s and men’s departments and the Training School students. A play, The Drunkard; or, The Fallen Saved ”, an old familiar, rip-roaring, fast moving, soul¬ searing melodrama portraying the evils of the mauve decade, gave the audience many laughs but kept them spellbound until the final curtain “T.

1935 THE CHALK LINE Page 27 MADRIGAL SINGERS MUSIC ACTIVITIES During the year now closing the glee club has completed four principal units of work. Given in conjunction with the orchestra, the first of these, the customary concert before the student body, augered aright the successful season in store for the club. Also a part of this concert was repeated when the legislators were visiting the school. At the Christmas concert, comprising the second unit, the club continued its tradition of performing carols from different countries; France, Haiti, Russia, and Poland being the ones selected this year. Marking especially the activities of the winter quarter was a visit to Rutledge, for this is the longest trip that the club has ever made en masse. Finally, in bringing its year to a triumphant close, the club produced “The Spanish Grandee ’ an operetta rep¬ resenting probably the best aggregation of musi¬ cians this school has seen. Then, after this, thus successful operetta the club treated itself to a well- earned picnic.

1935 THE CHALK LINE Page 29 BUCCANEERS, 1934 FOOTBALL Coach Gene McMurray and his assistant. Har¬ vey McCall sent out the call for football candidates on Sept. 10. Among the 40 men responding were Captain Hunt, Massengill, Congdon, Wayman, Taylor, Boyer, Parsley, Peters, Burleson, Ander¬ son, Graves, Miller and Bales, all letter men of previous seasons. Along with these were a host of last years reserves and freshmen with brilliant high school records. Among those were Jamison, Smith, Lucas, Shields, Clark, Jones and others. The season opened in Bristol on the night of Oct. 5, against the “Red Tornado” of King College. The Buccaneers were never able to hit their stride in this game, being handicapped by the ankle deep mud and being unaccustomed to the floodlights. The crew got their only touch down on a pass from Boyer to Massengill. The final score was 14-7. Hunt and Boyer played a great game in the back- field. The play of Bowman and Massengill was best in the line. On the following Saturday the Carson-Newman Eagles were met at Keystone field before a large crowd of spectators. The Buccaneers were in strik¬ ing distance of the goal at different times but were unable to push the oval over until the closing min¬ utes of the game when the Teachers blocked a punt and Hunt carried the ball over on a one yard drive through the line. The Eagles had scored earlier in the game, and the game ended in a 6-6 deadlock. The play of Hunt in the backfield and Peters in the line were the best of the day for the Blue and Gold. On Oct. 20 the Buccaneers moved on to Cullow- hee where they completely outplayed the Tar Heels in all departments of the game, but were able to put only one marker across the goal line. Wayman scored on a pass. The Catamounts scored a safety for two points. Wayman and Massengill played brilliantly at ends. Congdon was oustanding at tackle. Coach McMurray pitted his charges against his Alma Mater in Maryville on Oct. 26. This was perhaps the best play the boys exhibited during the season. They completely whipped the Highlanders to the tune of 19 to 6. It would be hard to pick the stars of a game like this. However Hunt, Boyer, and Anderson were the most consistent ground gainers. On Nov, 3 Union College of Kentucky furnished the State professors plenty of opposition at Key¬ stone Field. Neither was able to reach the coveted line on the gridiron. Jamison and Burleson did some beautiful ball toting that afternoon. Smith, Clark, and Graves were best in the line. The game ended with the score just as it started 0-0. The Blue and Gold colors were carried into the land of pretty girls and fast horses on Nov. 10 at Morehead, Ky. The Buccaneers were able to pile up a 12-0 lead in the first half, but the blue grass team came back strong the second half to win 13- 12. Hunt made both of the State Team’s touch¬ downs. Other outstanding players for the Teach¬ ers were Massengill, Parsley, and Burleson. The next game was played at Tusculum College. This was a great pigskin battle. The score of 6-0 in favor of the Teachers lacks much showing the (Continued on page 33)
