Tucker Manager Guv Stephenson Coach Keathi-ev Presgrove Captain Guy Stephenson Coach J. D. Tucker Manager Resume oi tne Season, 1925 By Joe Newman The M. T. S. T. C. football team opened their season for the year 1925-26 by meeting Vanderbilt, and closed it with an epochal trip to Deland, Florida. (Many are the tales which might be written concerning the career of our college in football, dur- ing the year just past. It is a tale with its high points, and its low points; it is a tale that sometimes sags lifelessly, but for the most part is crisp with interest and pulsing with vitality.) Ours was a team which depended almost wholly on speed ; therefore they were peculiarly at a disadvantage by reason of the wet weather that fell to their lot in almost every game. Their schedule was an unusually hard one. And yet, in the face of all these drawbacks and discouragements, they have hung up a record for them- selves that is something to be proud of. 72 They lost only four games; two of these were played in the early part of the season, before our line was yet in fighting form, against two of the most powerful football machines in the country; in the other two games our boys were battling, not only against teams, but against the elements. They also had the misfortune to play two tie games, 7 to 7 with West Kentucky Teachers College, and o to o with T. P. I. In both cases, it was luck that was against them. It is generally admitted that they out- played their opponents, and should have won. After the Teachers had lost their first two games to Vanderbilt and Sewanee by heavy scores, their playing perceptibly improved, and they came back with the well- known S. T. C. fighting spirit. In three games played soon after, the colors of the Blue and White were floating high in victory. They triumphed in succession over Bryson, Bethel College of McKenzie, and West Tennessee State Teachers ' College. They won from Bryson in a close and hard-fought conflict, 13 to 6. In an epic contest with the Teachers from Memphis, they charged gloriously to victory through the line of the West Tennessee Teachers, winning 57 to 7. The game with Bethel College, won by the score of 30 to 12, was likewise featured by daring plays, tense moments, and thrills galore. They were beaten by the Teachers ' College of Murray, Kentucky, 6 to o. The game was played in a sea of mud that is now famous, and can never be forgotten, especially by the unfortunate participants. They lost, also, to the John B. Stetson University of Deland, Florida, 10 to o. The explanation of this defeat is surely to be the desert sand, in the midst of which the game was played. It is feared, however, that the boys did not regret their defeat perhaps as much as they should have; they found so many other things in Florida that they were more than recompensed for their loss. In Florida, it seems, there is a modern Lotos, which, like the Lotos of old, takes away the sting of defeat and takes way, perhaps, some other things. It would not be fitting to close this article without paying a tribute to Coach Guy Stephenson, who has played his part faithfully and well, working always hard and patiently, and bearing himself nobly alike in victory and defeat. And here ' s to the boys of the eleven, who have labored and fought with everything that they had — for S. T. C! RESULTS Vanderbilt 27 ; M. T. S. T. C o Sewanee 53 ; M. T. S. T. C o Bryson 6; M.T.

C 107 73 Football PRESSGROVE Caplain, Tcukli ' Greaser for the last three yeari has been an almost indispensable cog in our machine, both on defense and offense. Great things are expected of him next vear. HACKMAN Half Hack is a real triple threat man, being able to run, pass, and kick, with equal ease. Time after time this sea- son he got away with runs from 20 to 75 yards. PARKS, J. Guard A good steady man, both on offense and defense. With the captaincy on his shoulders, he will be a great asset to the team of 1926. HUFFINES Ouarler Due to injuries Sapphire was un- able to play in the first part of the sea- son. However, in the latter part of the year he came back with the-ole- fight-em spirit, and showed us some good playing. His loss will be keenly felt next year, for he is one of our peppiest ((uarters. 7+ JOHNSON Center Although this Avas his first year on the team he proved himself to be a good snapper-back. On defense he was a hard and true tackier. THOMPSON llalj or End Buddy is fast on his feet, and can both throw and receive passes. He is, also, a deadl ' tackier. THRONEBERRV Tackle Sall pla ed his last iootball game last fall. In his three years on the team he has proved himself to be one of our best players. He is a hard tackier, and has blocked iiiTuniierable punts. BUTTS Half Butts was the best blocker on the squad and a good man on the defense. In the coming years we are expecting much of him. 75 FOWLER Half Although this was Slim ' s first year on the team he has proved him- self to be a very consistent ground gainer. He is a real triple threat man. RALSTON, W. T. Tackle or Guard When Big Pebbles wanted to be, he was a power on the oflfense or de- fense. This was his second year, and he proved himself to be a valuable man. JAMISON Fullback Although light for the position, Jamison was a hard hitting back, a deadly tackier, and the best passer on the field. CORBIN End This was Corbin ' s first year, but he showed up well. He is good at re- ceiving passes and tackling. 76 SNEED Quarter With Romeo at the helm the team played very creditable ball, and showed much confidence in his judg- ment. He is a good passer and blocker. GOOCH End At the first of the season Preacher was suffering from inexperience, but he quickly overcame this and made a mighty good man. In the next three years he should write some important chapter in S. T. C. football. MILES End Although Miles is a small man, he makes up for it in pluck and speed. He is a true tackier, and an excellent man at receiving passes. His loss next year will be almost irreparable. RALSTON, J. R. Guard Few gains were made over Little Pebbles ' guard. He was not only good in defense, but a power in of- fense. He will surely show us some stuff next year. 77 RIGGS Guiird Riggs is a depciulahlc man, hcitli on offense and defense, lie has two more years, and much is expected of him. FREEMAN l-ullbach or Ltut N(){)by pla ed his second ear at full. He is a good blocker, passer and tacliler. In his next two years at S. T. C. he will be heard from. 78 Baseball Ci.

C. As a dribbler and Hnor worker he is unsurpassed. He is also a good shot. Thompson, Guard, Forivard Tom has proved an iiualuable man on our basketball team. He is very fast, an excellent guard, a good floor worker and shot. Too, he keeps the spirit up with his energy and enthusiasm. Walker, Center This is booty ' s third year at S. T. C. During this time he has been high scorer each year, and in nearly every game. He is a good defensive man. Fambrough, Guard Fanibrough alternated at center and standing guard. He practically always got the tipoff, and then went back and played a stellar game at back guard. Tlironeberry, Guard Sally did not hit his stride till the latter part of the season, but when he did hit it he was a stone wall on defense. He kept the ball away from the enemies ' goal. His loss next year will be keenly felt. Bass, Guard This is Mammy ' s first year on the team, but he has proven himself to be an ex- cellent guard and floor worker. He is also a good shot. Ralston, Guard This is Little Pebble ' s second year on the squad, and he has shown himself to be a very fine defensive player. He should be a valuable cog in next year ' s machine. Ferguson, Forivard Ferguson came to us from Central High of Nashville. In his one year on the team, he has shown himself to be a good worker, guard, and shot. 8J fl Varsity Soccer Team Louise Snell (O. F.) Mary Waggoner (O. F.) Sarah Hubbard (O. F.) India Gannaway (I.

The play was good considering that it was the first game of the season, and the game ended 28-17 ' ■! ur favor. The next game, pla ed with A ' . W. C. A. in Nashville, was somewhat disappointing, flue to the shortened (piarters and late arrival of the team. Several new players were tried out in this game. The game was 20-12 in our favor. The next game, with Peabody, State and Southern Champions for three years, who beat us last year one point for Southern title, was a thriller. The score at the end of the playing period was a tie, but the referee had ruled a double foul just as the timer ' s whistle blew. The Peabody captain missed the throw, and Mary Beaslcy made the one point necessary to win the game, 19-18. In a very rough and tumble sort of game the Co-eds were able to defeat West Kentucky, 19-18, on their home floor. Pope came through with three field goals when they were most needed. During a prolonged home stay, featured by excellent goal and foul shooting by Beasley, floor work by Pate and Pope, and guarding of Snell and Jones, Gannaway and Archer, together with the work of Wilson and Anderson, the Co-eds defeated Jacksonville (Alabama) Normal, 36-15; Peabody, 23-17; Carson-Newman, 34-21; Y. W., 47-13; T. P. I., 32-20; Birmingham-Southern, 28-30. In one game Beasley shot seven out of ten foul shots, in another seven out of eight, and at one time had an average of 22-30 foul shots. The M. T. S. T. C. Co-eds were challenged by West Tennessee Teachers ' College for a game Louise Snell Captain India Gannawav Manager 8S a1 for the State title, t(p be played in Memphis. The las ics nt West Tennessee play with six plavers, anil the name was tn be played half and half. After an uneventful trip to Memphis, and after the usual pre-Kanie talk hy Coach, the team went on the floor expeitinR to play six players, as nothiii); had been said which style would be played first, and it was expected that the visitinK team would have the choice. The Meinphis coaches insisted that the game be played with five players first, and would not even agree to a toss of a coin. The team was called off the floor for consultation, and it was decided to play according to their wishes. The game started, and at one time the West Tennessee lassies had a 10-4 lead. Just at the close of the first half, Pate, whose play in securing the tip-off had been outstanding, was injured, and time not being called out by the referee, th West Tennsse lassis scored a field goal and ended the half 14-13 in their favor. Playing with six players, with Snell playing side center, the Middle Tennessee Co-eds walked away for a lead of 28-21, with about three iniruites to go. Jones, who had been playing a stellar guarding game, was disi|ualified. The West Tennessee lassies shot two field goals and four fouls, bringing the score to within two points, while we shot a field goal aiul a foul. Just as the timer ' s whistle blew a West Tennessee forward sank a field goal, tying the score, 31-31. As nothing was said about playing a tie off, and as Memphis wanted to play six players, and since M. T. S. T. C. had a challenge game two nights after- wards, the coaches did not see fit to play the tie off, but immediately issued a challenge for a game at Murfreesboro or Nashville. The challenge was not accepted, and the title was forfeited by Memphis. On Thursday night of the same week, the Teachers played a challenge game for Southern title with Woman ' s College of Montgomery, Alabama State Champions for two years. Since the Teachers had defeated Peabody, Southern title-holders for three years, they were challenged by the Woman ' s College. The score at the half was 9-7 in M. T. S. T. C. ' s favor. Captain Snell, after a sterling game, was disijualified, and Ciannaway played an excellent gaine in her stead. Callie Jones played one of the best games of her career. She seemed to be all over the floor. Mary fJeasley shot some from difficult angles, and Pope came through with two field goals when most needed. Pate, although outjumped at center and playing with an injured knee, hurt in Memphis, played a wonderful game. Montgomery fans freely admitted the superiority of the team. The game ended, 19-15. Since defeating Montgomery, and West Tennessee failing to accept the challenge, the Middle Tennessee State Teachers ' College lassies are acclaimed State and Southern Champions. SCHEDI LE M. T. S. T.

This is her second year, and even still greater things are expected of her next year. Pope, Forward This is Ot ' s second year as a regular on the team. She has pro ed to be an important cog in tlie scoring macjiine, being an excellent floor worker and shot. Pate, Center Pate not only is an excellent tip-off man, but is a good shot, and feeds the ball well to the forwards. This is her second year. 87 Beasley, Forward Beasley is the scoring ace, probably out-scoring any girl in Tennessee or the South. She is death on foul shots, and is also a good passer. Gannaway, Center, Guard A good player at any position placed. This is her third year at S. T. C, and she has been a very valuable asset to us each year. Jones, Guard Gallic figured in strongly as a defensive man, excelling in knocking down long passes, and breaking up plays that seem to be real counters. The only difference between Gallic and Snell is their size. r-1 88 ArcKer, Guard This is Archer ' s first year, but she has shown up well on the defense. With a year ' s experience, she should prove invaluable to the team of ' 26 and ' 27. Anderson, Guard, Center Goober-Grabbler came from Georgia with plenty of vim and enthusiasm, and she has shown them both to advantage as a guard and center on the girls ' basketball team. Wilson, Center, Forward Jinks is the fastest player on the floor; a good shot, and a good floor worker. Her presence ne t year will be welcomed enthusiastically by the coaches. 89 Basketball Louise Sneli Captain India Gannawav Ma iagi-r Forwards Mary Beaslev Akme Laurie Pope Virginia Wilson Margaret Vaughan Ali.iene Templeton Sarah Hubbard Julia Eggleston Mary E.

College Stuff Prof: ' ou boys can ' t get outside of the house at night without a flashlight; when I was a boy I went courting on the darkest nights, and never even carried a match for light. Student: Yes, and look what you got. ■ ' oung Lady (seating herself at a table next to IVIiles Sharp in the dining hall) : Miles, are you going to let nie sit this close to you? Miles: Why yes, you may sit closer than that if you want to. (Miles turning to his table mate) : Now ain ' t that the way to talk to ' em, John?  An old colored woman was heard to say to a friend : Why, yes ' m, that thar little one of mine am de cowbon copy of his father. In Exglish Ripple: What is an anecdote? Tripple: It ' s a tale. Ripple: Have you got one? Tripple: No, my ancestors were not monkeys.  - Ed (discussing psychology with the janitor force) : When yo ' hurt yo ' head — when yo ' head gets cracked — yo ' just natchly gets foolish, ' cause yo ' head it ' s de life of yo ' , and when it gets wrong yo ' go wrong all over.  Two little negroes on a bridge a-sittin ' , Two little bones back and forth a-flippin ' . Hole in a plank where a knot was niissin ' — Par-a-dise Lost. Four little feet in the water splatter. Two sets of white teeth chatter, chatter, One under his heel the bones began to feel — Par-a-dise Regained. 123 RKymes Fioiii the (ji ls ' Doniiitory : 1 love to sing the old college songs, 1 love to cheer and yell, I love the old fighting spirit — but Oh, how I hate this cell ! From the Boys ' Dormitory : I love to sing the latest songs, I love the holler and bawl, I love the old fighting spirit — but How I hate to sweep out this stall! -t: ShriJc First: Trinkle, Trinkle, little sheik, How I wonder what you speak To all the ladies, nice and fair, I hat makes you think tlu-ni such a bear. Sheik Seco?i l : William, Villiam, big sheik, How I wonder what ' ou shriek To all the ladies by the wholesales Tliat makes them think you Prince of Wales. « iii Barefoot boy with cheeks of tan. Blessings on thee, my little man. High-heeled shoes and cheeks of red — More were better left unsaid. iie -X as Fatty Howard, on second Hoor, Slowly ambles to the Y Store, Grasping four pennies in each hand. Hold him, Newt, he ' s headed for the peanut stand. SI Be there ever a Sharp so dead, Who ne ' er to himself hath said : 1 can ' t sleep at foot or head, AVith a little mouse tied in my bed. 5 .;!:- jlj A Ford, a flapper, a flask, telephone pole — kerflunk! A sheik, a flapper, show ticket, campus course — kerflunk! 12 + Acknowledgment T would be an impossible task to name all those to whom the editor should, in fairness, express appreciation for valuable assistance rendered in the publication of this volume. We have found that the editing of a college annual is not the task of one man; it is not the task of a small group of faithful workers who compose the staff; but it is the task of the whole student body. Without your co- operation, the editor and his staff would have been able to have accom- plished nothing. It is for those who read this volume to say just how much has been accomplished, and, however much or little that may be, the credit should go to the many who have responded to the various calls for help. We recognize mistakes in this, our first college annual ; ami we ask your kindest consideration in criticism. Paul F. F.armer, Editor. 125 Worlds Largest Chain Department Store Organization A NATION-WIDE INSTITUTION- f ■ enneylp. DEPARTMENT STORES Reliable Quality Goods Always at LoiVer Prices 12 Public Square, Murfreesboro, Tenn. Dry Goods Ready-to-Wear Millinery Corsets Dress Accessories Clothing Furnishings Shoes Notions ' where savings greatest are When People ' Shop Around Our Values Are Impressive! The great volume of business now done by this, the World ' s Largest Chain Department Store Organiza- tion, was not won in a day, nor in a year. In the beginning the great mass of shoppers could not believe that mer- chandise of reliable quality could be sold at the unusually low prices quoted by our Stores. By ones and twos, tens and hun- dreds, they experimented after shop- ping around, by buying at the lower prices in our Stores. To their surprise and gratification they found in every case the articles purchased from us were at least as fine in quality as those held elsewhere at higher prices. Experiment yourself! You ' ll be pleased with the result. OC e We take this opportunity for extending than ks to our many pat ron3 of the Middle Tennessee State Teachers College. hrench,5hoppe MMRFIREESBOKO.TENN.
