Many are the things we have done in fun With hearts full of merriment and glee, Thinking not when they were begun H hat the consequences would be. Then there was the serious side. For all was not fun and play. Work and study with each other vied For a part of our time each day. Four years we have worked together. But many we have lost by the way. All could not be held by the tether, So they dropped out day by day. But friendship ' s ties are ever strong, Though some drop far out of viezv. Still their memory is ever sung In our hearts of these days anew. And when we leave these hallowed halls For other and harder fields afar. All will be sacred, even the walls. When our door of memory slips ajar. Norine Sigrest. John Abernathy SHANNON, MISSISSIPPI Hobby : Calling Football Signals. Thomas Miles Bennett TIPLERSVILLE, MISSISSIPPI Hobby: Rushing the Ladies.

He is “heads up,” and plays hard. His punting and ability to run the team when shifted to quarterback was an important factor in winning many games. H. J. Bishop Tackle Bishop finished his second year as a varsity man. He proved a mainstay in the line, always fighting. In selecting him for captain next year the team has chosen a real leader in the sport. Nick S. Duncan Guard “Fight every minute of the game” must have been Nick’s slogan. He has been a regular stay on the team two years. His stamina was high and he had a fighting spirit and reliability that, coupled with his determination, made him the equal of every man he faced. He has another year to add laurels to those already gained. Hazel Dixon Tackle “Dick,” playing his first year of varsity ball, is a sophomore and the only sophomore to make a letter. He should be a valuable man during his next two years. 7 2 m Football Men George Ritchey End George has played his last game with the Blue and Gold gridders. He helped us give beatings to our opponents which they won’t forget for a time. He graduated soon after the season closed. Price Harlan Halfback “Harlan is a nice ball toter.” This was the comment of all who witnessed his playing. With his speed he was elusive and the opponents often dived into mid-air in their efforts to make a tackl e for him. Next year he should be better. Ralph Hester Quarterback “Red” was one of the hardest workers on the squad, although handicapped by his size. He was used as a substitute, but ran the team well when he was in the going. He graduates this year. Basil Hilderbrand Guard “Hunky” gave his second year as a regular in a creditable manner. He is small in stature, but is a stick of dynamite to his opponents. 73 Football Men Beatty Tree Top” Murphree Center, Captain “Tree Top” ended his three years as a mainstay on the team this year. He backed up the line with a fierceness that made him dreaded by all the opponents. He is a clean, hard-working player with an exceptional ability to size the opponents’ plays. “Tree Top” is perhaps the greatest center to ever wear the Blue and Gold colors for Mississippi College. Ross Moore End Moore is another who has served his time out as a varsity man. He w T as an All-Southern end in high school, and exhibited the same brand of ball on a large scale in college. Spurgeon Mayfield Halfback Mayfield spent his first two years of varsity ball as a reserve guard. During his last year his proper place was found as a halfback, and with his speed made a valuable backfield man. We regret to lose him through graduation. Victor Vic” Metts Fullback Vic has starred three years at this post. He shines when it comes to backing up the line on defense and ripping it open on offense. He tackles with vim and accuracy. He is cool under fire, and can always be counted on to gain some ground. His loss will be keenly felt next year. ft Football Men Paul Young Guard Young was switched from end to guard. He proved to be a tower of strength to the middle of the line. Throughout the greater part of the season he suffered a lame shoulder. He should be a great man next year. George Myers Tackle Myers has been a substitute at tackle, guard and center. He is one of the men who can play all three positions with equal skill. He always had a determination to win. He is also a senior. Otho Turner End Turner played regular at one of the terminals this year. He is a rangy fellow and hard to get around. His punishment to punt receivers was noticeable. He finished the first semester after football season. Trenton Shelton Tackle “Trent” was all that a big husky tackle could afford to be on a football field. He carried the punishment to the opponents in an unmerciful manner. We regret the loss of this valuable man. His place will be hard to fill. 75 FOOTBALL SQUAD FOOTBALL Resume of Football Like the musketeers of fiction, the three Mississippi College football coaches adopted as their motto, “All for one and one for all.” With this immortal idea they put out a team, which, when in top form, was as good as any in the conference. The team had its ups and downs dur- ing the 1929 season, but the three musketeers always pulled a beaten team out of the rut and set them on the peaks of glory. Coach Robinson has a master mind when it comes to football as well as managing other affairs. His strategy is unexcelled throughout the country. Never was a coach better loved by his men than Coach Robinson is by the faithful Choctaws. He has that unusual power that Athos possessed of making his men fight like uncaged demons. Lewis “Scout” Wilson, like old Prothos, puts the men through the “rough stuff” that keeps them in such fine physical shape. He had one of the best conditioned teams in the country. His scouting of opponents has been a big factor in many contests. A pencil and some scratch paper and a seat on the side line and Wilson comes back with all the dope. Griff C. Lee reminds the writer of Aramis with his lithe gracefulness and remarkable knowledge. He is a valuable scouter, for he knows how f to get the dope. His work with the freshmen is commendable. Mississippi College is fortunate in having such a well equipped and learned squad of coaches and the world at large may rest assured that as long as there is any football material whatso- ever in Mississippi College, the three musketeers will turn out a team hard to beat. Mississippi College was off to a slow r start, Alabama’s famed “Crimson Tide” beating us, 55 to o. The Choctaws fought hard, but the much heavier and more experienced team, together with the early date, was too much. The following week-end found the going much easier for the Indians. They won over S. T. C., 20 to o. This victory was expected, although the peda- ' gogues put up a good scrap. 76 LETTER MEN On October n the Bulldogs from Howard College came to our campus. The Dogs tied the Chocs last year in Birmingham 6 to 6 which caused a high tension to exist. Neither team was able to get a break and played on even terms throughout the game which ended o to o. Murphree was the outstanding man assisted by Duncan and Hilderbrand at guards. The state fair came next with Mississippi College and Millsaps as the bright lights. The two teams took the field on almost even terms in the annual classic of the South. Millsaps was lucky enough to get nine out of eleven breaks in the game and won, 7 to o. This was their second victory over Mississippi College in ten years. The Chocs journeyed to Mobile and took a 25 to 6 dubbing at the hands of the Spring Hill Badgers. Mayfield was, without a doubt, the most outstanding player for the Chocs against Spring Hill. The following week-end A. and M. welcomed Mississippi College at their lovely village. In a sea of mud the farmers took a 6 to o decision from their lighter opponents. Metts and Murphree received favorable comment in this game. The Chocs seemed doomed to lose this season. The following week they lost to Birmingham- Southern in the “Pittsburg of the South,” 20 to o. But the next week the Chocs downed the L. P. I. Bulldogs, 21 to 6, on a muddy field. Coach Robbie’s offense clicked as it never had before despite the heavy field. Tell it to your grandchildren. Mississippi College team was the first in the state to play an international game of football and the second in America. They journeyed to Mexico City, the land full of lovely and wholly charming senoritas, and defeated the University of Mexico, 28 to o. On Thanksgiving Southwestern of Memphis reigned supreme over the Chocs with a 20 to 7 victory. This battle will long be remembered. It was here that Percy “Pup” Lee gave his life. He sustained a broken neck from which he died two days later. Thus ended the season. Next year will find Mississippi College going better, it is predicted. In addition to the loss of Lee by death, we lose through graduation Captain Beatty “Tree Top” Murphree, one of the outstanding gridders of the South; Vic Metts, a star fullback for three seasons; Trenton Shelton, a husky tackle, who has turned in some fine work; Ross Moore, Otho Turner and George Ritchey, who served their times in a creditable manner at the terminal posts; George Myers, a tackle, and Spurgeon Mayfield, a halfback, did fine work and saw much service. Freshman Football Squad The 1929 season for the Papooses was not what one would call suc- cessful from the standpoint of games won and lost. In the larger games of the year the Blue and Gold warriors met defeat at the hands of Millsaps freshmen, although in their other contests they came through on the winning side. They trounced Clark College ' s proteges, 19 to 6. Clark had pre- ( viously held strong S. I. A. A. varsity teams in check. One of their greatest successes was their win over Copiah-Lincoln Junior College. Under the guidance of Coach Griff C. Lee, the freshmen team showed itself to be a source of much good material for the coming season. From this standpoint the season may be termed a complete success, for from all indications its membership will afford many men whose pres- ence on the 1930 varsity will play a prominent part in the Choctaw’s successes in the coming year. The following freshmen were awarded numerals for their work: Branch, Reno, Correro, Alliston, Slay, Travis, Stowers, Huff, Salley, Bourdene, Lackey, Fox, Wilkins, Love and Lane. George “Uncle John” Myers Captain BASKETBALL 4 ,. ! vs, I Bennett Branch Duncan Gill Coach Lee had a host of seemingly good material from which to build a team, with Captain George Myers and Nick Duncan forming the nucleus, and the return of Frank Branch and Johnny Herrman, together with Walker and Bennett, 1929 reserves, and Jones and Gill, sophomores. The team, very potential at first, won its first three games with signs of real champions, but as the opposition grew tougher, the team failed in several contests. At times brilliant and remarkable feats were performed by Coach Lee’s proteges, but at other times mediocrity prevailed. A tiny flicker of hope inoculated into the Choctaw followers when they trounced the highly taunted Mercer University bears. However, shortly after this success the Indians went into kind of a slump, losing two to L. P. I.’s whirlwind five by one-sided scores. After this the Choctaws came out of their slump with all the fire and fight of a true Mississippi College aggrega- tion and took three decisive victories from Millsaps, finalists, in the S. I. A. A. Tournament. Captain Myers earned his title by his spirited fight at guard. He was always consistent and was a member of the Choctaw squad three years. His loss through graduation will be keenly felt. Herrman Jones Myers Walker Duncan, captain-elect , and All-S. I. A. A. guard in 1929, turned in the same brand of work that earned him a place on the mythical all-star selection the previous year. Duncan has an envious record in basketball, being twice All-State guard and once All-Southern guard in his prep school days and All-Conference guard in college. New Orleans and Macon fans credited him as being the best to ever appear in the two cities. Bennett, chosen as All-S. I. A. A. center during the current season, was the main- stay of the team. He was high scorer in practically every game and his defensive work was equally as good. He will look good to Choctaw followers next season. Branch, All-S. I. A. A. center in 1928, and Herrmann, a member of the squad the same year, were both out last season. They were off their old form, however, but they turned in some good work. Branch underwent an operation for appendicitis in the early season which probably kept him back. Herrmann suffered a sprained back, due to an automobile wreck. Walker, a reserve from 1929, developed into a regular cog in the wheel late in the season, taking Herrmann’s place at forward. Gill and Jones, sophomores, were valuable reserves. They should be regular men next year if they keep up their work of the season just closed. 8 Results of 1930 Season According to Scores Opponents. Mississippi L. P. 1 35; M. C L. P. 1 39 ; M. C L. S.

Mississippi College’s diamond delegation of 1929, while far from being as successful as have other Choctaw outfits, managed to win a number of its twenty-game schedules against some of the South’s finest teams. Throughout the season the team was composed mostly of sophomores who were without the expe- rience of the men who have gone before. But Coach Robinson kept shifting his men until he finally found a team hard to compete with. Out of the twenty games scheduled, nineteen were played; eight were won; two tied In ten innings; nine lost, and one rained out. The pitchers were very efficient, but failure to get proper support at times cost us victories. The Tribesmen opened up their season on foreign fields, playing L. P. I. and Louisiana Normal on their home grounds. Each of the two games were tied in ten innings, but after the Choctaws took easy victories from both of these teams. Howard, of Birmingham, proved a little too much for us in the next two games beating Denton. 6-5, and McCrory, 10-4. Then A. and M. came to the campus and made a clean sweep of two games. Next on the list was a two-game series with our “Friendly Enemies,” Millsaps. A bit of tough luck turned up about this time, in that some of our best men were out on account of illness, and we lost by a wide margin, but in a later series Denton and Thames took their turns on the mound and got sweet revenge. L. P. I. was entertained with two defeats n xt and then Southwestern of Memphis in like manner. In two more games with A. and M. Captain “Lefty” Thames reigned supreme in one and the other was halted on account of rain. The hitting of the team was fair. Ldand “Crip’’ Walker batted .456, Percy Lee .395, Crick Hahn .350. Upton Black .345, Ross Moore .335 and several others reached the .300 average. Opponents L. P. I Louisiana Normal Howard .... A. and M. . . . Millsaps . . . .

Track Men John Abernathy Shot and Discus “Ah,” although failing to win more than one first place, was a great help to the track team. He won several second places. He has two more years in which to win many laurels. Verner S. Holmes Mile Relay Holmes is a distance runner of ability and a member of the team that won every dual meet and placed in the S. I. A. A. meet. i Joseph “Red” Flowers 4.4.0 Sprint “Red” was another to win only one first place, but his work was commendable and valuable to the team. We lose him this year through graduation. Lorenzo Johnson Distance Man Johnson is a distance man who can run all day if necessary. He won places in dual meets and placed in the S. I. A. A. meet also. Johnson has two other years’ service to give his teammates. i 1 Track Men R. B. Jones High Jumper “Long Distance,” as he is called, really does his stuff when it comes to leaping over the bar. He can jump six feet with much ease. His work won several first places in dual meets and placed in the S. I. A. A. meet. Niles Puckett Mile Relay Puckett is one of the hardest trainers on the squad. He was a member of the relay team, winning every dual meet and placing in the S. I. A. A. meet. We look for some more fast stuff out of Puckett before he leaves our camp. Spurgeon Mayfield 4.4.0 Sprint Mayfield was another to get over the cinder path in a rabbit-like manner. His work on the quarter-mile sprint helped his team in many victories. We always remember him as a member of the S. I. A. A. championship team of ’28. Ben Thomas 440 Sprint Ben saw plenty of service. However, his winnings were very helpful to the team. He has two more years and should develop into one of the fastest runners the college has ever had. George Montague Broad Jumper and 220 Sprints Montague w’on two first places in dual meets and second places in the S. I. A. A. meet. Much of the team’s success was due to his places in the meets. Montague has one other year to assist the Choctaws. 89 Resume of the 1929 Track Season Under the tutelage of Coach Jimmie Blaine, Mississippi College’s varsity track team experienced one of its best years. The fiery Choctaw mentor revived interest in the sport and placed it in the front as one of the Choctaw’s major branches of athletics. Practically every track man in college answered the clarion call for practice. After several weeks of drill in every phase of track, the team began its intercollegiate meets and brought home satisfying results from every contest. Interclass meets, espe- cially with freshmen, furnished plenty of work for the varsity between intercollegiate contests. The 1929 delegation had traditions to uphold since they were the defending S. I. A. A. champions and had been champions, or strong contenders for, several years. They came through in fine style in every dual meet. It was, however, in the big S. I. A. A. meet at Clinton, S. C., that the Choctaws showed their true strength. Winning second place by running up a total of twenty- five points was a noteworthy achievement. Presbyterian College was winners with twenty-nine points. 90 Cross-Country Team The 1929 cross-country team, composed of Captain “Red” Flowers, Napoleon White, Henry Butler, Niles Puckett, Verner Holmes, Lorenzo Johnson and others, were not so successful as the cross-country teams of Mississippi College in previous years, but was by no means a failure. The Choctaw harriers won in most of their contests. They were run- ning with the S. I. A. A. crown, which had been held by Mississippi College for four consecutive years, at stake. Mississippi College has always boasted one of the best cross-country teams in the South. These boys are to be commended for their splendid work. « Results of the Thirty-Fourth Annual S. I. A. A.
