Text from Pages 1 - 248 of the 1940 volume:

Southwestern is about to pass another milestone in its journey through the years; and now it is our turn to place a volume of l ' acadien in the archives of our alma mater, within the covers of this book, we have tried to catch the spirit of our campus and to keep it shining clear and bright both for ourselves and for those who are to follow us in the caravan of time.

WHITE 1940 ' Deceased p TRIBUTE 0- Southwestern owes a debt of gratitude to the members of the State Board of Education for their generosity in working to provide as wisely as possible for the education of our youth. The class of 1940 welcomes this opportunity of thanking them for all the time and energy that the y have devoted to Southwestern. Realizing, as we do. that the true worth of any college depends large- ly upon a wise administration of its affairs, we thank them first of all for the thought that they have given to the solution of the academic problems at Southwestern. But at this particular moment, we cannot refrain from thanking them most sincerely for their labors in supervising the tremendous physical expansion which has taken place on our campus during their period of service. It is fitting, therefore, that we now pay tribute to those distinguished ' public servants for their timely counsel both in the erecting of all these much-needed buildings on our campus and also in the preserving of those fundamental principles that may help to keep Southwestern steady in a topsy-turvy world. ESTEVE A. MARTIN HALL REXFORD C. McCULLOUGH HALL WILLIAM A. MONTGOMERY HALL In the stress of modern business the executive must utilize every moment of his time to his best advantage. ReaHzing this, the staff of this yearbook wishes to express its gratitude to Mr. Max Factor, Jr., for so generously devoting his time to the selection of the L ' Acadien beauty section. We are hon- ored and grateful.

HARRIS SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDATION OFFICERS WOODROW WILSON President EVELYN TOUPS Vice-president GLADYS LAFFITTE Secretary-Treasurer LILA MAE FOSS Reporter By an act passed during the 1938 legislative session, a Thomas H. Harris Scholarship Foundation was created as a tribute to State Superintendent Harris for his excellent educational work in the schools of Louisiana during his service as State Superintendent of Education for more than thirty years. The primary factor in selection of students to receive these scholarships is scholastic ability. These students have banded together to promote a spirit of fellowship and to preserve the ideals for which the foundation was established. These scholarships are gifts — they are not loans.

The paper is written up by students who are interested in writing, and those who intend to major in Journalism.

The Freshman Agricultural Student Gov- ernment was first organized in 1939. It is com- posed of all freshmen enrolled in the College of Agriculture. The purpose of this unit of self-government is to create a more organized group of freshmen in the agriculture depart- ments and it is not affiliated in any way with other groups of self-governing students.

MORRIS Pastor Director WESLEY FOUNDATION This organization is composed of all stu- dents of Methodist preference enrolled at Southwestern. The Wesley Foundation was organized in 1934 with Reverend Carl Barham as director. During its short existence it has gained prominence in the Louisiana State Methodist Student Conference, which it entertained in Lafayette in February of 1938. This organization offers to its members a contact with God and His church and en- deavors to promote the fellowship on the Southwestern campus. The Y. M. C. A. is a voluntary non-denom- inational organization which has for its pur- pose the creation and extension of the high standard of Christian living throughout the campus. Meetings each week afford all stu- dents the opportunity for spiritual growth and wholesome fellowship through worship and self-expression. At these meetings some stu- dent, faculty member or prominent citizen ad- dresses the members and brings some help- ful and inspirational message. Because of its undenominational character, the Y. M. C. A. is one of the most democratic organizations on the campus. All creeds and classes are welcomed into its activities in a spirit of fellowship and brotherhood.

South- western art students are invited to participate in all exhibits and in whatever way possible, render their services to Southwestern. The students up to date have participated in several exhibits and have placed in all, in- cluding competition of nationally acclaimed artists. The club is fostering school spirit on the campus by selling license Bulldogs. The club also plays an important part in the Mid-Winter Fair, in school operas, and at Homecoming. ART CLUB 119 MORRIS LEAGUE The Morris League was organized at South- western in April of 1938. All Episcopal stu- dents enrolled in school are eligible for mem- bership. The purpose of this organization is to foster a closer friendship between its members. Meetings are held once a week, and at these meetings, talks are presented by members of the club. Several social affairs are held each year by the club. The league has undertaken the project of raising funds for the construction of an Epis- copal Student Center which will be named for Bishop Morris.

This religious club does much in the way of charity such as staging Christmas parties for the orphans. Added to this they sponsor socials throughout the year to encourage and promote friendship and cooperation among Catholic and non-Catholic students. This club is organized to promote a closer union among engineering students and to afford an opportunity for them to hear and meet practicing engineers. In the early part of 1935 the need for an or- ganization having in its purpose a program that would serve to unite the engineering stu- dents under a single title was conceived by prominent students in the engineering class of that year. The purpose of the organization has been successfully carried out in the form of social activities, many interesting and enlightening lectures by resident and visiting engineers, and extensive tours to neighboring points of interest.

The two societies — the Avatar and the Attakapas debate each year for the Dupre Shield, and climax the season in the Julien Mouton Debate. The Men ' s Student Government Association comprises all men students on the campus. Its purposes are to bring the men students into close contact for the common good of the college and sponsor intramural athletics among men students enrolled at Southwest- ern. Through the aid and directorship of Coach J. C. Reinhardt much interest has been aroused in the competition among the non- intercollegiate athletic students in sports such as Touch Football, Basketball, Track and Box- ing. To a member of a winning team, there is presented at the end of the year, a medal, and to the team amassing the greatest num- ber of total points goes a large plague.

It is part of a southwide organization among the several million Baptist students of the south and has the guidance and direction of an executive secretary and two assistants whose domicile is Nashville, Tennessee. The Baptist Student Union has as the execu- tive head of the work a council, the chief work of which is to direct and stimulate enlistment in a Christian social program.

The purpose of this club is to foster a better understanding in the Home Economics Department, and to give help and assistance to the members of the department. Several projects are undertaken by the club each year. One of them is to sponsor a contest in clothes making. Another is the do- nation of clothing and food to the Orphanage in Lafayette. Meetings are held twice a month. At these meetings, programs of interest are presented. Talks are made on the various topics studied in Home Economics. Refreshments are served at the close of the meetings. HOME ECONOMICS OFFICERS FRANK LEACH President EVELYN RICHARD Vice-President ROBERT ROSE Secretary MARJORIE DALY Treasurer MR. GEORGE BARTH Conductor SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA The Orchestra is an organization for the student who is interested in music, and wishes to acquire skill on his instrument and obtain some knowledge of the other instruments. The Orchestra plays an important part in the activities of the school. It is always ready to furnish music for any occasion. Any school entertainment without it would be a failure. Never will the students forget the splendid music which they furnished at the Christmas program of the past year. It was amazing to see their great develop- ment in such a limited practicing time. Since its organization, much progress has been made, and today it is an orchestra that any college could be proud of. JUNIOR SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA The Junior Symphony Orchestra has been an established organ of the Music Department but a very short time. However, this organization catered only to those who were proficient enough in music to be able to play the high class of music demanded of them. The Music Department, seeing that there were many who desired to play in an orchestra and who were not skilled enough, and realizing too, that there should be some method whereby the lesser skilled musicians should have a chance to build up in ability sufficiently to play in the Symphony Orchestra, founded the Junior Symphony. This orchestra is composed of those members of the Music Department who have just begun their training, and also those who have an elementary knowl- edge of music. It provides an outlet for this knowledge and a means of acquir- ing the necessary skill to participate in the senior organization. i OFFICERS JOSEPH FLANAGAN President MARGUERITE WENZEL Vice-President NORMAN SMITH Secretary-Treasurer MARY HOPE LYLES Reporter MR.

The major program to be presented each year is the annual Christmas pro- gram presented by the music department in connection with the Glee Club. The Glee Club is also noted for its annual Christmas Carol program. It is presented each year at the Lafayette orphanage. After the program at the orphanage, the club has their annual Christmas party. GIRLS ' GLEE CLUB The Men ' s Glee Club at Southwestern is organized in the music department, but it is open to all men students on the campus who are interested in singing. The Glee Club is under the direction of Mr. Brown, assistant professor of Music. Rehearsals are held twice a week. Several programs are presented by the Glee Club each semester, and they are well received by the students. The highlight of the year was the presentation of Handel ' s Hallelujah Chorus.

The best contributions are printed in the Scribblers ' Script , a booklet published by the club, along with a featured article by a teacher on the English staff. Its outstanding accomplishments this year were the sponsoring of two essay contests — one open to students on the campus, and the other to high school students throughout Louisiana. RICHARD ROBERTS Chairman FRANK GRAVES CLAYTON HEBERT YVONNE ANDREPONT FREDDIE PATIN MR. HARRY DeLaRUE Faculty Adviser Board of Publications The Board of Publications is composed of five members, appointed by the President of the Student Body, and approved by the President of Southwestern Louisiana Institute. The Chair- man is elected at the first meeting of the year. The Board was organized at Southwestern to control and supervise the two student publi- cations, the Vermilion and the L ' Acadien. The other duties of the Board besides supervising the two student publications, are the selection of the editor and business manager of the Ver- milion and the L ' Acadien at the end of the spring semester each year. 126 It has been the policy of the Southwestern Boarding Club since 1929 to assist students through Southwestern by employing them to wait on tables in the dining hall. It is notable that many of the student waiters are recognized leaders in extra-curricular activities and have maintained a scholastic average high above that required to hold their jobs. The waiters decided to form an organization this year so that closer bonds of friendship may exist between a group of boys who have to work together three times a day. O. K.

HOSEA PHILLIPS Faculty Adviser LE CERCLE FRANCAIS Le Cercle Francais was organized at Southwestern in 1927 under the spon- sorship of Miss Gabrielle Hebrard and of Miss Lottie Montegut (now Mrs. Josef Ziegler). In 1936, Miss Marie Theriot assumed the sponsorship of the organ- ization. In the fall of 1939, was begun a series of weekly French broadcasts over station KVOL and Dr. Rosea Phillips consented to direct them for the club. The aim of the club is that of uniting, for mutual assistance and social enter- tainment, those students specializing in French. A state-wide reunion for high school students of French was sponsored by the club on April 9, 1938, attracting to the campus, on that day, about 2000 people. This year, the club revived, on January 6, an old French and Spanish cus- tom La Fete des Rois . They enjoyed a Twelfth Night Masked Ball. The club has a membership of 60 regular members and 6 honorary members. DRAMATICS CLUB The Southwestern Dramatics Club is a band of enthusiastic comrades whose purpose is to provide amateur dramatic entertainment for the college com- munity by the production of one-act plays and at least one long play each year. Some members act in the plays, but many more serve in those less obvious but not-to-be-dispensed-with capacities back stage as prompters, scene-painters, make-up artists, electricians, script-typists, property gatherers, and in other little nameless unremembered acts of kindness and of love which go to make up that best portion of a good production. The 1939-40 season included production of the following one-acts: The Val- iant , Overtones , The Birthday of An Infanta , Will O ' the Wisp , My Tailor , Nothing But the Truth , High Tor .

The club participates in such campus activities as Homecoming, Camellia Pageant, and Stunt Night and stands ready to lend its support to any activity sponsored by Southwestern. There is a membership of more than two hundred.

The purpose of the Women ' s Athletic Association is to promote wholesome relations in athletics and the dance among the girls and to encourage co-recre- ational games which may be participated in by girls and boys. Among the activities sponsored by the Women ' s Athletic Association is Stunt Night, an annual event, in which many organizations on the campus are invited to participate. Prizes are awarded for the cleverest and prettiest stunts. This program provides an opportunity for friendly competition and is a means of organizations cooperating with each other. Colonial Ball is another feature event given annually early in the second semester for all girls on the campus. Spectators are invited as guests to witness this colorful affair. Beau- tiful costumes, outstanding orchestra music, special feature dances and general colonial atmosphere are especially memorable. Each year one of the state colleges sponsors a Play Day and the W. A. A. of Southwestern sends participants. Tournaments in archery, tennis and table tennis are held yearly. Awards are given annually by the association to those girls who participate in four hours a week of sports and attend the Colonial Ball. The awards are as follows: 1st year participant, SLI emblem; 2nd year participant. Chenille S ; 3rd year participant, S Jacket; 4th year participant, S Blanket. Each award is a pre- requisite of the other. The Hugh Duncan Mc- Laurin award, a cash prize of $5.00, is given an- nually by the W. A. A. to that student who has most successfully participated in the various sports and other activities sponsored by the organization. 130 1 A M l: s 1 ' i: 11 l m a n Head Cheerleader MARGAIiin ■MIl.l.AN REBECCA MORRIS BASS WILLIAM IIINES ARTHUR LEE Cheerleading at Southwestern this year was one of the highest standard with the introduction of pyramids and also many tumbling feats. The student body will miss the able and capable work of the seniors, Rebecca Bass and Margaret McMillan, cheerleaders for three consecutive years and also the enthusiastic captain of two years, James Fehlman. The remaining members of the squad who will be looked upon to carry on the excellent work will be Bill Hines and Arthur Lee, who have shown splendid ability. CHEER LEADERS At the beginning of each year a general outdoor student body assembly and pep meeting is held for the purpose of selecting cheerleaders. The selections are made by popular applause. The spirit and smile that the cheerleaders exhibit out on the field are not symbolic of the task which they have to perform.

Because Coach Cain is the type of man that he is, the en- tire football squad as well as the stu- dent body, has the highest respect for him. Coach Gaorge Gee Mitchell Being assistant coach and line coach keeps witty George Gee Mitchell quite busy during football season as well as during Spring Practice. Mitchell gradu- ated from Louisiana State University where he received much recognition. Southwestern feels honored to have a coach and a man like Gee Mitchell. THE 1939 FOOT 168 Southwestern 19; Delta State Teachers 6 The Southwestern Louisiana Institute Bulldogs, capably guided by John Cain, head mentor; George Gee Mitchell, line coach, and J. C. Reinhardt, trainer, popped the lid on their 1939 football campaign by trouncing the Delta States- men of Cleveland, Mississippi, before a colorful crowd of football addicts by a 19-6 count. The Bulldogs, by exhibiting a potent second-half at- tack led by the diminutive Horace Shorty Ad- kins, garnered enough points to pull themselves out in front of their rivals of Mississippi. Adkins featured the attack by a 70-yard excursion in the second period, then added another touchdown to his credit by turning in a brilliant end run. Joe Rodgers, crashing fullback, did his bit for the Bull- dogs by climaxing a sustained drive into a touch- down in the third period to pull the Bulldogs into a greater lead. The Southwestern team warded off the last minute surge of the Statesmen and won their initial game of the year. COACH R. L. BROWNE Athletic Director VARSITY FOOTBALL 1939 BALL SEASON Southwestern 0; Stephen F. Austin 0 The Canines opened their home season with a scoreless deadlock with their annual rivals, the Lumberjacks of Nacogdoches, Texas. Fumbles re- mained costly for the Bulldogs, and penalties took away a beautiful touch- down skirt by Dean Harrell. The larg- est opening night crowd to witness any Bulldog game was brought to its feet in the last period when Raymond Didier dropped a perfect thirty-five yard pass from Harrell after having it in his arms. Although the Bulldogs were held scoreless, they may be credited with outplaying the Lumber- jacks. Coach Cain ' s team chalked up 1 1 first downs as compared to 3 for their opponents. The unsung heroes in the line played superb ball. Among those turning in good defensive work were Bill Bass, Sid Ducharme, Milton Patin and Raymond Didier. 169 ED ADAMS, Tackle 170 Southwestern 0; East Texas State 6 The 1939 edition of football players motored out of state for their third game of the season, and al- though they played headup ball, were turned back in defeat by the Teachers of Commerce, Texas. The Texans turned on their heat in the second quar- ter and scored by a 30-yard pass. The Louisianans ' defense tightened in the third period to ward off an- other touchdown thrust and stayed on the defensive against determined drives in the last quarter. The passing and elusive running of the Teachers ' back- field aces were the factors in their winning over the Bulldogs. Southwestern 20; Spring Hill 0 John Cain ' s Bulldogs played the part of a perfect host to the Badgers of Mobile, Alabama, until they met upon the gridiron that night. The Bulldogs, led HORACE ADKINS, Back by Sophomore Gundy Roberts and Ray Didier, rolled over their fourth opponent of the season. Didier scored twice, once on a short pass over the center of the line and again on a blocked punt which he scooped up and ran six yards to cross the line. Roberts accounted for the first score of the game when he fell on a Southwestern fumble which rolled across the goal. During the half, the fans were given a real treat when Professor Voorhies ' crack band marched upon the field being led by Miss Boots Thompson, band majorette. Southwestern 6; Louisiana College 7 The Bulldogs wanted to lengthen their winning streak when they met their arch rivals from Pine- ville, the Louisiana College Wildcats, but their wants were not satisfied. Their feline opponents took advantage of a fumble on the S.L.I. 37-yard stripe, passed and marched to a touchdown which tied the score. The educated toe of Chubby Fowler, playing halfback for the Wildcats, account- ed for the one-point margin which was enough to spell defeat for Southwestern. The Southwestern team scored first by crashing the line and passing team scored first by crashing the line and passing LEON BARKER, Back WILLIAM BASS, Center their way to the Cats ' 30-yard stripe and on the next play John Bandura jumped high in the air and snagged a pass for the score. John Houser failed to kick the ball between the uprights and the score was 6 to 0 in favor of the Bulldogs. It was in the fourth guarter that the Cats scored. When the ball split CY BERGERON, Guard 171 the uprights to give Louisiana College a point lead, the fans sank back in their seats with a depressed look on their faces because the game of the year with their tra- tional foes was turning into disaster for the Bulldogs. Southwestern 12; Louisiana Tech 6 Football enthusiasm had reached its ultimate height the week of the Tech game and the school officials got together and planned an excursion to carry the entire student body to Ruston for the traditional melee between Tech and Southwestern. It was Home- coming for Tech and one of the largest gatherings of the year assembled in the new Tech Stadium to watch the contest. Coach Cain ' s aggregation was keyed up for the game after losing the previous week to the Louisiana Wildcats. Determined to jump again into the win column, the Bulldogs scored their initial marker in the first period on a pass from Harrell to Patin. Houser failed to convert and the score remained 6 to 0 172 in lavor of the Bulldogs. Tech promptly scored and squared the count in the same period after a fumble was recovered from Southwestern and turned into a touchdown. Tech failed to convert and the game was at a deadlock. Both teams went on the de- fensive and it seemed as if the game would end in a tie, but the Lafayette fans who had followed the team to Ruston and the students of Southwestern saw the game end in a story book fashion when Ihnat, playing as a sub for Rodgers at fullback, neatly pulled a Tech lateral out of the air and with only 45 seconds left to play raced for a score that put the Bulldogs in the lead by 6 points. The 1500 students who went on the excursion to Ruston were complimented by the school officials on the splendid conduct exhib- ited throughout the entire trip. Southwestern 18; Loyola 20 Although the Bulldogs entered their sixth game of the year as underdogs, they played sensational ball and proved the Wolves were not the superior of the two teams when they squared off on the turf with the Loyola team from New Orleans. The con- test was filled with thrills from start to finish and the fans seldom had a chance to BOBBY CORBIN, Back RUFUS DAVIS, Guard RAY DIDIER, End 173 FOOTBALL SEASON 1939 SIDNEY DUCHARME, Tackle RUPERT GAGNET, End i DEAN HARRELL, Back JOHN HOUSER. Back relax because of the fear they would miss a vital part of the game. The Wolves turned what looked like certain defeat into victory when a Wolf back happened to be in the path of a pass that was batted down in the closing minutes of the game. The Loyola player was standing over the line and it was the last play for the New Orleans team. The deciding factor of the game was the ability of the opposing team to add that extra point by placement. Loyola sent two of their three attempts at placement sailing through the uprights whereas Southwestern failed in all three attempts. John Houser almost tabbed himself as an immortal that night by turning in one of the best performances of the year. Sports writers of New Orleans pedigreed Houser as the goat be- cause he batted the pass down that fell into the hands of the Loyola back over the goal line. Only superlative expressions could describe the sterling play of the Bulldog right half and certainly goat was in no way fitting. OTIS HURST. Tackle 174 1 GEORGE IHNAT, Back C. W. OAKES, Center HERBERT O ' RAND, Back Southwestern 7; Mississippi State Teachers 9 A valiant band of Southwestern Bulldogs dropped their eighth game of the year to a heavier band of players from Hattiesburg, Mississippi, in a thrilling game. It was Homecoming for Southwestern, termed SLI Day, and the night before the big contest, a huge bonfire climaxed the pre-game program in which the entire student body participated. The game in its en- tirety was one of the best exhibitions of football seen on the local campus in several seasons. Shorty Adkins opened the affair with a brilliant 70-yard re- MILTON PATIN, End BILLY REEVES. Back turned punt for a touchdown that immediately brought the fans to their feet. Following the Bulldog tally, the Teachers started a series of line plunges, and climaxed their gains with an end around play for 42 yards and a score. The score stood 7 to 7 until the Teachers 175 GUNDY ROBERTS, Back FOOTBALL SEASON JOE RODGERS, Back 176 blocked a Bulldog punt close to their own goal line. The opp onents were quick to take advantage of the blocked kick and covered the ball in their own end zone for a safety and 2 points that put them in the lead 7 to 9, and put the contest on ice. Captain Sid Ducharme, Southwestern ' s candidate at that time for Little Ail-American, turned in a superb perform- ance at the tackle post. Homecoming Queen, Rose- mary Doucet, and her court were an elaborate part of the Homecoming festivities, and President Frazar made an impressive talk on the physical equipment that Southwestern had acquired. JACK SPENCE, Tackle Southwestern 0; Normal 6 In rain and mud, the Bulldogs dropped the curtain on their 1939 season in Natchitoches, Louisiana. They met the strong Normal Demons that thereto- fore had run roughshod over all their opponents and were sure winners for the newly created Louisi- ana Conference. The pedagogues from North Lou- isiana got their initial and only score as a result of a 65-yard sprint by Gus Boucher, sophomore star tailback. Coach Gee Mitchell ' s seven oaks dis- played the best defensive playing of the season, especially in the middle of the line, by not allowing the Demons any yardage except by hard earned means. The Bulldogs to don the Red and White for the last time due to graduation were: Rupert Gagnet, [oe Dollahite, Allen Tillman, Shorty Adkins, Sid Ducharme, Joe Rodgers, Otis Hurst, Wilbur Camp and Bill Bass. Ducharme followed in the footsteps of KING TEASLEY, Guard ALLEN TILLMAN, Tackle two of Southwestern ' s former stars, Cagle and Abel, by receiving honorable mention on Grantland Rice ' s Little All-American Team.

FOOTBALL SNAPS 178 FRESHMAN FO O T B A L L Coach Cliff Johnson ably guided his yearling bunch of football aspirants through an undefeated season that included such teams as Lamar Card- inals of Beaumont, Texas, Loyola Wolfpups of New Orleans, and Normal Imps of Natchitoches, Louisi- ana. Coach Johnson had an array of fine football material with which to work, and from this material he moulded the best frosh team since he became freshman coach in 1937. With a galaxy of star backs such as Pershing Cashen, former all-state, Paul Niel, chosen to play in the all-star game at Baton Rouge while in high school, Bob Votier, Dece Watson, and several other prominent backfield stars augmented with heavy and alert linesmen as big Bruce Broussard, all-star member, T. E. Bick- ham, former high school alLstate tackle, the Bull- pup mentor had little worry over being defeated. The Bullpups opened their season by defeating the Lamar Cardinals of Beaumont, 6 to 0. They downed the Loyola Wolfpups 20 to 12 and battled the Nor- mal Imps to a scoreless tie. ERNEST McMillan Captain Guard THE BASKETBALL SE Coach Dutch Reinhardt ' s Bulldog basketball team came through with one of the most impressive records ever turned in by any of the athletic teams of the college this year when they turned in their season ' s record of 22 victories and five defeats in the schedule of 27 games. The Southwestern team scored a total of 1131 points in the official 27 games while their oppon- ents were scoring 839. The average score per game for the Bulldogs throughout the season was 41.88. The average per game for the opponents was 31.09. Southwestern was off to a good start for the season when the Bulldogs met the invasion of the highly touted Southeastern Lions of Hammond with a setback for the Lions by the score of 38 to 33. The game was a nip and tuck battle throughout with the score being tied at three different intervals. The new- comer to the varsity line-up — Joe LaBauve — surprised the fans with his brilliant playing in this game by sharing high scoring honors with the veteran and high point man of last season, Carl Hurst. Each scored 13 markers. The Fohs Oil Company cagers, an independent team from Lake Charles, were the second victims of the powerful Bulldog quintet. The Oilers fell before the Bulldogs by the score of 53 to 33. In this game, the veteran Meal Ticket Carl Hurst came through with his usual past array of accurate pivot shots and accounted for ten field goals. Especially noteworthy was the performance of Captain Ernest McMillan on defensive terri- tory. Mac was the spark plug of the team that night with his indominatable spirit carrying the team through the rough spots. With only the above listed games under their belts of experi- ence, the Bulldogs journeyed northwest to Iowa and Illinois, there to take part in two of the nation ' s foremost tournaments, the Marshalltown, Iowa, and the Bloomington, Illinois, tourneys. This was the first time in the history of basketball at Southwest- ern that the team took part in these tournaments of national fame. In the Marshalltown tournament, sponsored by the Mar- shalltown Times Republican newspaper, the Bulldogs played two games, winning one and losing the other to the champion team of that section and winner of the tourney, the Iowa State Teachers. Their victory was registered against the Grinnell University Five by the score of 53 to 50. In the Bloomington tourney, Southwestern met Centenary College, the only other Louisiana team taking part, and defeated the Gents by the score of 48 to 41. Illinois Normal scored a thrilling triumph over the Bulldogs in what was called the fastest game of the tournament with the Illinois team pulling safely away only in the closing minutes. The final score was Southwestern 32, Illi- nois Normal 38. Coach Dutch Reinhardt, an All-American from Iowa State, came to Southwestern in 1931. Under Reinhardt ' s able guidance this year the Bulldogs won 22 out of 27 games to finish second in the Louisiana Inter-collegiate Conference. The type of basketball and sportsmanship that the boys have been taught by Coach Reinhardt have gained for them and for their chief mentor the respect and loyalty of fans who like a clean game and manly sportsmanship. COACH I. C. REINHARDT 182 A S O N On the return trip, the Bulldogs played two additional games, winning both. In Cen- tralia, Coach Reinhardt ' s home town, the Bulldogs trounced the DeMolay College quint to the tune of a 52 to 27 score. In Carbondale, Illinois, Southwestern nosed out South- ern Illinois University by a mere one-goal margin. The score stood at 31 to 29 when the final whistle sounded. Following their return from this trip, the Bulldogs opened the first Louisiana Inter-col- legiate conference race in Ruston with a game against the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs. Southwestern registered this one in the win column with a 43 to 36 triumph. LaBauve, who was by this time second high point man of a successful Bulldog team, led the scor- ing in Ruston. Continuing on their road trip, the Bulldogs invaded the Centenary College campus in Shreveport and were greeted with a 48 to 44 setback at the hands of the Gents whom they had defeated once before in the Bloomington tournament. In this game Coach Dutch Reinhardt practically assured Harold Reed of a First 5 berth, making the for- ward combination one of all-sophomore interest. LoBauve had virtually cinched his post at left forward with Reed ' s continued star performance opposite Joe, Coach Rein hardt concluded that Reed would hold down the post. Probably the most brilliantly played game on the part of the Bulldogs was their next game on the Southwestern court, when they met the first invasion of the Louisiana Nor- mal Demons. Southwestern was the master of that game from beginning to end. The Demons were no match for the powerful Bulldogs of January 16. It was on that date that the Demons were crushed 52 to 26 by the Southwestern Bulldogs. The first home game of the season played against a foe not in the Louisiana Inter- collegiate Conference saw the Bulldogs playing hosts to the Mississippi Delta Teachers of Cleveland, Mississippi. In this game, Carl Hurst scored a total of 21 points. Still the Bulldogs fell short of the victory margin after leading all the way. In the final three minutes of play, the Delta Teachers pulled up to the Bulldogs ' margin and scored the win- ning basket with only six seconds to go. The Bulldogs tried vainly to bring back the ball and sink a basket which would have knotted the count, but the final whistle sound- ed with the scoreboard reading, Mississippi Delta Teachers 33, Southwestern 31. The Bulldogs followed the above defeat with a 50 percent triumph over the Louisiana College Wildcats in Pineville the following week. With LaBauve and Hurst again lead- ing the scoring and Demp Young, Pete Sanders, Ernest McMillan, and Harold Reed keeping the opposition from running up its score, the Bulldogs were able to pile up a total of 44 points during which time the Wildcats registered 22. JIMMIE BERGEAUX, Forward RICHARD BREEN, Guard BASKETBALL The following week, Southwestern ' s Bulldogs were at home playing three games. The first was the return game for the Centenary Gents who were forced to bow in defeat to the Bulldogs by the one-sided score of 46 to 21. This time the Bulldogs were complete masters of the situation throughout the tilt and were never so much as threatened by the Gents. The victory may even be classed a victory for the second team as it was the subs who offered opposition to the Gents during practically the entire second half. Loyola invaded Lafayette to do battle with the Bulldogs that same week and met the same fate as the Gents. Only the score this time was not so one-sided. Loyola scored 26 markers while the Bulldogs scored 41. Here Reed took the lead and set the pace for both teams with six field goals. LaBauve and Hurst were at his heels, however, with 1 1 points each. When Louisiana College returned, they were defeated by the Southwestern team, 43 to 11, with the subs doing most of the playing. It is interesting to note that at the end of this game the playing team was the same as the Frosh line-up of one year before. The following Monday Southwestern met the invasion of the Bulldogs of Louisiana Tech. Again Reed took a leading role and piloted the Bulldogs to a 50 to 28 victory over the Techmen. This was the first game in which Captain McMillan scored figuratively. Mac was as clever as ever on defense, but his contribution that night was set shots which found their way from far on the floor into the basket. The Bulldogs journeyed to Natchitoches for a game with the powerful Louisi- ana Normal cagers the next day. Normal took the upper hand in this tilt and in spite of the hard and brilliant playing of Reed, Sanders and hurst on offense and McMillan and Demp Young on defense the Demons scored a 36 to 32 victory. At Pineville on Wednesday of the same week the Bulldogs took on the Louisi- ana College team for a 35 to 23 defeat. The Bulldogs were themselves again and the Wildcats offered no serious threat during the entire contest. With the Centenary Gents gunning for revenge, the Bulldogs played the next game on their own hardwood court at Lafayette. Centenary lacked ten points to justify their spirit when the final whistle was heard. The score was South- western 33, Centenary 23. Louisiana College appeared on the Bulldog court for the last time of the sea- son on February 12. Before the first half was over the Bulldogs had built up such a large margin that Coach Reinhardt sent in the second team and was justified in saying that the latter team really scored a victory. Southwestern ran up a total of 51 points while Louisiana College totaled 20. At this stage of the race for the Louisiana Conference Championship, the Bulldogs stood at a one-game disadvantage. The following game, however, put the Bulldogs in the lead as they won handily from the loop leaders, on the Demons ' own court. Here again the Bulldogs were the better team throughout the tilt, just as they had been when scoring the famed 52 to 26 triumph over the Demons in the Southwestern gym. 184 Southwestern continued to increase its lead throughout that week with the extension of the some trip to the Gents ' stronghold in Shreveport. In this game, the Bulldogs were slow starting, but soon got control of themselves and trounced the Centenary Gentlemen by the score of 40 to 26. Ruston was the Bulldogs ' next stop. Louisiana Tech through a great spirit played a hard game and put up a fight to the finish. Southwestern with equal spirit and displaying more basketball ability added another to its list of victories and strengthened the Bulldogs ' stronghold on the Louisiana Circuit. With only two home games left on the conference schedule, the Bulldogs prepared to close the season trium- phantly, presentmg Coach Reinhardt and the student body as well as their supporting fans with a sensational fmal two-game finish. The first game of these last two was easily accounted for by the Bulldogs who set back the Louisiana Tech boys by the score of 47 to 29. In the final game of the season, the game which was to decide the champion of the first Louisiana Inter-collegi- ate Conference, a game which resulted in a deadlock of scores at the end of the regular game time a game which required two extra time periods, the Bulldogs failed to come through with the final and crucial marker which would have crowned them the Champions of Louisiana and probably of the South. Instead, the Louisiana Normal Demons, a team which had twice been overwhelmingly defeated by the Bulldogs, received all credit and honor due champions of the state, because of a 41 to 37 score favoring them at the end of the second extra period The future looms as brightly as ever for the Southwestern Bulldogs in basketball, for the team will return intact for duty next year with the exception of Ernest McMillan, guard and captain for the season, who will have reached the end of his college aca- demic career in June. The return of these players together with the eligibility of this year ' s freshmen for varsity competition next year are two facts which brighten the expectations of the team for 1941. FRESHMAN BASKETBALL The Freshman Squad, coached by Otis Hurst, past star of the Bulldog quint and brother of Meal Ticket Carl, came through the season in fine style with only two blemishes on its completed schedule of seven games. The Pups totaled 195 points to their opponents ' 118. The Freshmen ' s average score per game was 27.9, their oppon- nets ' was 16.9. All Freshman games were played in the Southwestern gymnasium as preliminaries of the varsity games. In their first game, played with the Lake Charles High School cagers, the Pups hung up a score of 24 to 22, thus ac- counting for their first triumph of the season. In the second game the Pups were defeated by the strong Meaux Independents who showed considerably more experience than did the yearlings. Coming up to high expectations in this game was Voitier, star back on the fresh- man football squad and high point man of the basketball team. The following week the BuUpups scored a decisive victory over the Kaplan High School team. Sanders Foreman, the Scott pride, proved the spark plug of the quint with his brilliant guarding and ball handling, during this tilt. Foreman is rated as a possible contender to fill the shoes of Captain Ernest McMillan on the varsity Bulldog 5 next season. Totally outclassing them, the Pups handily defeated the Estherwood High School squad 27 to 6 in the fourth game of the season. Here Glaze did the heavy scoring for Southwestern. Jeanerette High School was the Pups ' next victim. The Pups looked especially impressive on defense during this game which resulted in a 43 to 11 victory for Southwestern. Leading the pack in this game was Hill, who showed special ability at looping the basket. In their last victory of the season, the Pups preyed upon the Opelousas High cagers and turned in a 36 to 22 triumph. South- western was off to a fast start, scoring some 1 5 markers before the younger Opelousas team could loop one for a score. The final game of the season accounted for the Bullpups ' sec- ond setback. The strong Fohs Oil Company team of Lake Charles eked out a two-point margin to register a victory over the Pups. At a previous date, the same quint from Lake Charles had put up a good battle with the varsity team. Although the Frosh lost this tilt it is no blemish on their record for the opposi- tion was a team classed with the varsity team instead of with the yearlings. All in all the Freshmen turned in a fine season ' s record and with one year of experience should prove valuable to Coach Reinhardt when the chief basketball mentor makes up his squad next year.

In spite of the fact that this was the only back- ground that Mitchell had to begin with, he has proved to the fight fans in this district that his ability is by no means lacking. Coach Mitchell has just completed his fourth successful year at S. L. I. COACH GEORGE GEE MITCHELL Southwestern IVi: Mississippi State V2 Coach George Gee Mitchell ' s battling Bulldogs opened up their 1939 season in whizbang style by scor- ing a clean sweep over the mittmen of Mississippi State. Southwestern won five fights, was awarded two via forfeits, and neither team possessed an eligible heavyweight. Two Southwestern wins came about through technical knockouts. Punchy Logsdon kayoed Gary after 1 minute and 55 seconds of the first round. The other technical KG was turned in by Wilbur Gonques who finished off Buford Blount in the middle of the third round, both boys weighing 145 pounds. In the feature bout of the evening, Thurman Pardue defeated Punchy Davis of Mississippi State who is the South- eastern Gonference king of the lightweights. The crowd roared its approval. Herkie Harper won over Hamil- ton via the forfeit route, Harry Deal showed fine boxing skill to win easily over Mobley, and Wilson Landry scored a decisive win over Gannaway. Jim Williams won his bout by a forefit. The team looked great in its opening match of the season and the outlook for a fine season seemed assured. Southwestern 7; Ole Miss 1 Gontinuing on the trail of victories, the battling Bull- dogs scored a decisive win over its second Southeastern Gonference foe. The only win for Ole Miss came about through S. L. I. ' s forfeit in the heavyweight division. The Bulldogs were out for blood and piled up four tech- nical knockouts, the other three victories were because of forfeits. Herkie Harper swarmed all over Sneed of Ole Miss and battered him into submission in the 188 SEASON first round. Harper showed clever boxing ability. Benny Fontenot, who alternates with Harry Deal, ex- hibited his possession of dynamite in his cocked right hand by blasting out Goldman after 35 seconds of the first round. Hard rights to the jaw did the trick. Thur- man Pardue continued his winning ways by scoring a technical knockout over Stigman in the second round. The fighting clown Punch Logsdon scored a KO over Canella in the second round. Punchy has endeared himself in the hearts of Southwestern fight fans with his clowning antics. He always fights a crowd pleasing fight. Conques, Landry and Williams all won their fights without landing a blow because Ole Miss forfeited in their respective weights. Southwestern 6; Loyola 2 Coach Mitchell ' s boys put on an impressive show for the fight fans of New Orleans by defeating the Loyola Wolfpack in its own back yard. It was the third straight fistic victory for the Bulldog boxers. Sewele Whitney, Loyola ' s national bantamweight champion and Ed Har- vey, junior middleweight veteran, were the only win- ners for the New Orleaners. Whitney was extended to the limit by Ben Fontenot and was lucky to eke out a close decision. Freddie Logsdon, our rough and tough junior middle- weight, was decisioned by Ed Harvey in a hot en- counter. Logsdon made the mistake of almost flatten- ning Harvey in the first round. Logsdon floored Harvey with a left hook flush on the chin and from then on Harvey played safe and fought a defensive fight and through this point of strategy he was awarded the de- cision. BENNETT FONTENOT DREW LANDRY THURMAN PARDUE WILBUR CONQUES SAM CROW FREDDIE LOG2DON Louie Campbell, who became eligible for fis- tic duty after mid-term, wasted no time in put- ting his name on the winning side of the ledger. He dumped Paul McDonald, 6 foot, 8 inch giant, after 26 seconds of the first round. McDonald didn ' t care much for the tweeting of the birdies. Don Harper defeated Mike DiMaio for his third straight win. Pardue chalked up his 3rd win in defeating Francis Walsh. Sam Crow defeated Condin in his first official fight. Wilbur Conques defeated Jack Flynn and Jim Williams won by a forfeit. Southwestern 5; Louisiana State 3 S. L. I. was now convinced that it had a great team after defeating the highly touted Tigers, who were Southeastern Conference champions for the past three years. Harper started the fireworks by scoring a technical KO over Men- essis of L. S. U. The Cuban fought gamely but was no match for the clever counter-punching Harper. Harry Deal gained an undisputed de- cision over Domingue, exhibiting a fast left jab. Pardue fought Polito to a draw in the light- weight division. L. S. U. scored its first victory when Parham outpunched and outdanced Con- ques. The score was even when Daniels stood off Logsdon ' s rushes to earn the referee ' s de- cision. S. L. I. moved ahead when Landry was awarded a verdict over Bellaire (Bellaire was warned several times about his fouling). Jim Williams clearly outfought Donelly, the Tiger lightheavy. Louis Campbell fought ex-chum. 1940 BOXING SEASON 190 1940 BOXING SEASON Peg Kendrick to a draw. Both heavyweights were fast on their feet and threw plenty of leather to thrill tho ovor- flow crowd of 5000 fans who came to see the scrappy Bulldogs topple the mighty Bengals. Southwestern 3; Louisiana Tech 5 Louisiana Tecli ' s boxers surprised the fight fans as well as themselves by upsetting the highly favored S. L. I. Boxing Team. The Bulldogs were the victims of at least two home-town decisions. The Harper- Wojecki bout and the Deal-Hand encounter were both close. Either of these verdicts could have been called a draw. Besides this, there was no doubt that Logsdon had outpointed Martin for the latter had taken a nine count on two occasions, once in the first round and again in the second round. Jim Williams ' bout with his former high school teammate, Rip Pipes, was stopped in the second round due to a cut over Jim ' s eye. Raymond Walton stood out with a technical KO over Thurman Pardue in the third round. Sam Crow won in the 145-pound class against Hugh Essary. Tech had forfeited in the 155-pound class and also the heavyweight bout. Now, with the Harper, Deal and Logs- don bouts all going to Tech and the Williams loss, and Walton ' s outstanding verdict over Pardue, the final score was 5 to 3 in favor of Louisiana Tech. The Tech fighters, particularly Walton, should be given credit for their de- termination and spirit to win. In closing, we must admit that Wojecki, Hand and Martin did put up game battles. Southwestern 6V2; Louisiana Tech IV2 The Bulldogs proved to all that their previous loss at the hands of Louisiana Tech was all of a bad dream. They clearly avenged themselves by humbly defeating the Tech Bulldogs of Ruston. The mittmen of S. L. L turned on the heat before a crowd of 3500 enthusiastic fans. This marked their fifth dual meet victory of the season. The Bulldogs who scored victories were Harry Deal (127-lb. class), Sam Crow (145-lb. class) and Punchy Logs- don (155-lb. class). S. L. I. won forfeit bouts in the 1 18-pound division, 165-pound class and the heavyweight class. The best bout of the evening was Logsdon versus Martin. It was a ding-dong give and take affair for two full rounds. In the 3rd round, Punchy really warmed up and landed looping lefts and rights to take the referee ' s verdict of victory. Harry Deal reversed the decision that Hand had gained over him at Ruston. Fontenot replaced Pardue in the 135-pound class, but Hamilton was too strong and scored a technical KO over Benny who fought gamely. Southwestern 5; University of Florida 3 Coach Mitchell took ten of his battlers with him on an invasion into the land of sunshine, oranges, celebrities, not for the purpose of mingling with society, but to bring back victories and prestige for S. L. I. The Bulldogs scored their sixth victory in seven starts by defeating the Florida Gators in one of the classiest inter-collegiate fights of the year. Harper defeated Bill Stewart by decision. Graham of Florida scored a technical KO over Fontenot. Pardue fought Joca and lost a close decision in a nip and tuck affair. Florida ' s Frank Hannon fought Sam Crow to a draw, but S. L. I. mopped up in the heavier divisions. Bob Cromwell gained a draw with Jim Williams; Freddie Logsdon punched an impressive victory over Harvey Long. Conques defeated Phil Igou and Louie Campbell scored another victory via the forfeit route. Graham and Joca became Southeastern Conference champs. Southwestern 4; University of Miami 4 With only 2 days ' rest, the Bulldogs met one of the strongest opponents that they had to face and were success- ful in holding them off to a draw. Each team scored 4 wins and 4 losses. Plenty of blood was spilled and two matches were stopped. Sam Crow remained undefeated by scoring a technical KO and Wilbur Conques was the only other fighter to score a technical KO. Harper dropped a close fight to Buny Lovett, mainstay of Miami who is a strong contender for national honors. Harry Deal dropped a boxing decision to Church and Pardue fought himself back to winning ways by defeating George Back. Pardue ' s unorthodox style proved too much for the Miami lad. Freddie Logsdon scored a victory over Joe Bonawna which was really close. Jim Williams WILSON LANDRY JIM WILLIAMS LOUIE CAMPBELL ED COOLEY, Student Manager VARSITY BOXING TEAM 1940 BOXING SEASON dropped a close decision while Louie Campbell dropped his first match of the season to Tom Kearns, who outlasted the tiring S. L. I. heavyweight. This match was the third in a period of 7 days. Southwestern 6V2; Loyola IV2 In the final dual meet of the season before 4500 fans, the Bulldogs scored a flashy victory over Loyola of the South. Harper used a wicked left and strong right to counterpoint a victory for himself over Cucchinotti. Sewele Whitney eked out a close decision over Captain Bennett Fontenot. Pardue fought to a draw. The highlight bouts were Sam Crow ' s KO over Lee. Crow ' s lefts and rights hurt Lee badly, and the end came just as the bell sounded. Punchy Logsdon tore into Kuntz of Loyola in such a fashion that he floored his opponent with a furious flurry of looping lefts and rights to the head. Kuntz went down after one minute and 58 seconds of the first round. Jim Williams scored an easy victory over McCarter and Louie Campbell won over McDonald by a forfeit. With this bout closing the boxing season for this year, and thus leaving only memories in the minds of the en- thusiastic fans, a debt of gratitude should be paid to Athletic Director R. L. Browne and Coach George Gee Mitchell for bringing to the people in the southwest area a schedule worthy of the team which represented South- western. With wishes for continued success at the Inter-collegiate Nationals to be held at S acramento, California, we leave boxing until next year.

Southwestern Annual Relays With the largest number of colleges ever to be represented on the Southwestern track, the 1 3th consecutive Relay Carnival was marked by new meet records. This relay opens up the outdoor track sea- son in the south and is used by many of the foremost southern col- lege coaches to test the calibre of their teams. In past Relay Carnivals some of the greatest track stars in the south have competed here. The track this year was in the fastest condition it has ever been, and had the season been more ad- vanced, other records would have been broken. Southwestern came through with two victories. The Bulldog 440 relay team, composed of Adkins, Governale, Shapiro and Buck, beat off a closing spurt of the L. S. U. team to take first place. In the broad jump. Walker bettered his mark of the year before with a leap of 23 feet and 5V2 inches to easily take first place. In the two-mile relay event, L. S. U. nosed out S. L. 1. in a thrilling finish. Zelmanowitz, Stelly, Baggett and Stirling each ran an 880. The 880 relay team, composed of Governale, Shapiro, Martinez and Buck, came in second to L. S. U. and ahead of Tulane, Stephen F. Austin, Normal, Loyola and North Texas Teachers. Texas Relays One week after the Southwestern Relay Carnival, the team left for Austin, Texas, to participate in the Texas Relays. The sprint relays composed of Governale, Shapiro, Brumfield and Buck, made the trip as did the distance medley relay team made up of Stirling, Bag- gett, Zelmanowitz and Stelly. Hollier accompanied as alternate. Jeep Walker was the only S. L. I. man to score. He placed sec- ond in the broad jump. COACH ROBERT L. BROWNE 194 TRACK TRACK L. S. U. Wins Triangular Meet III the first trianyular meet of the year, the L. S. U. ihinclads , on their own field, registered a defeat over the strong teams of S. L. I. and Louisiana Normal. The feature of the meet was the near world ' s record time made in the 220-yard sprint when Webb of Louisiana Normal came within 3 seconds of equaling the world mark set by Jesse Owens. Baggett furnished an unpleasant surprise to the Ben- gals when, after being pocketed for three laps and most of the last one, slipped out of the vise and sprinted home to lead the field. The Bulldog squad also captured first and second places in the 220- yard low hurdles, when Shapiro followed Captain Martinez home in that order. Hurst took first place in the discus as did Walker in the broad jump. Stirling and Zelmanowitz extended Church of L. S. U. to the limit in the 880-yard run. Church barely eked out a victory over South- western ' s two great half-milers, only 3 yards separated the first three men. Stelly took second in the two-mile event followed by Hollier, his teammate. 195 THE 1939 T R A C K Southwestern Wins Meet In a triangular track and field meet held in the Southwestern Stadium, the Bulldogs scored a decisive victory over both the Loyola University squad and the team representing Louisiana College. South- western captured ten first places and scored in every event. Walker and Buck of the Southwestern squad led in scoring. Each scored two first places and each ran on the winning mile relay team. The two ace distance runners Stelly and Baggett won the mile run, breaking the tape together, and Stelly proved his superiority in his favorite distance, the two-mile run. Other winners on the Southwestern squad were Stirling in the 880, Shapiro in the 220 low hurdles, Hol- land in the high jump and Hurst in the discus throw. Demon Tracksters Nose Out Bulldogs In the annual S. I. A. A. track tournament held on the recently completed Normal track, the Demons edged out the favored Southwestern team, in a hotly contested meet. This was the second time that Louisiana Normal upset predictions by defeating the Southwestern team. Previously, Southwestern had held title for four consecutive years. Although Normal was higher in scoring, the Bulldog squad on the whole turned in a more spectacular exhibition. Both teams garnered seven first places, but two of the Southwestern wins set S. I. A. A. records. In the mile run, Baggett of Southwestern, set a new mark of 4:26.2 to break a record of four years standing. In the 220-yard sprint, his teammate Buck led the field to lower by one second the mark of 21.4 seconds set in 1930. High point men for the Bulldogs were Walker and Stirling. Walker won first place points in the broad jump and the high hurdles, and was in a four-way tie for first in the high jump. Stirling won the 880 and was second in both the mile and two mile events. Another first place was won for S. L. I. when Hurst outdistanced all competitors in the discus throw. Southern A. A. U. Meet Three records were broken and one was tied in the annual Southern A. A. U. meet, captured by the strong Louisiana State University team which made all three records. Due to injuries to several of the Southwestern trackmen, the team did not come up to expectations and placed third in scoring, behind Tulane. In the meet held in the Loyola Stadium, teams were entered from L. S. U., Tulane, S. L. I., Loyola, Louisiana Normal, Louisiana College and independent entries from other colleges in Louisiana and Mississippi. SEASON Southwestern took four first places. Running what proved to be his last race for Southwestern, Randall Stelly, ace distance man of the Bulldog squad, holder of the S. A. A. U. two mile record and defending champion, easily coast- ed to a victory over his competi- tors. Had he received any com- petition he would no doubt have set up a new record. Thrilling the crowd with a homestretch sprint, Baggett, tiny distance star of the Southwestern squad, shook off all competitors to give S. L. I. an- other first place. Walker, who was high point man on the Southwest- ern team, furnished the other first place points with wins in the broad jump with a leap of 23 feet QV2 inches, and in the hop, skip and jump where he cleared 44 feet 10 ' 2 inches. Considering that only seven trackmen were able to enter the meet. Southwestern and Track Coach Robert L. Browne may well be proud of the showing made by these representatives of S. L.

The finish— first or last? 198 FRESHMAN TRACK The strong freshman group, the backbone of the following year ' s varsity squad, was undefeated in all meets that it en- gaged in during the 1939 season. In their first meet of the year at Baton Rouge, the Bullpups gained a tie with the L. S. U. Frosh, winning five straight places. Southwestern won the 100-yard dash, the 880-yard dash, the 220-yard low hurdles, the pole vault and the shot put. The Frosh also placed second in the 440-yard dash, the mile run and the discus throw. At the S. 1. A. A. meet held in Natchitoches, the Bullpups amassed a huge score to decisively defeat all competitors. South- western ' s freshmen placed first in the mile run, the high hurdles, the 880-yard run, the 220-yard dash, the 220-yard low hurdles and the discus throw. Consistent winners in all meets were: Neeley in the weight di- vision, Corbin and O ' Mohundro in the sprints, Thibodeaux and Seilhan in the distace runs and Hines and Smith in the hurdles. 200 1 THE 193 9 BASE After a discontinuation of baseball since the season of 1926, that sport was resumed by Southwestern in 1939 under the direction of Cliff Johnson, who had been freshman football coach two years prior. For a first-year team, the Bulldogs turned in a fine record for the season, win- ning the larger part of the games played at home and on the road. The Bull- dogs won six games and lost five. The Southwestern team also lost two ex- hibition games to the Lafayette White Sox, a professional club, in the Class D Evangeline League. In the first game played by a Southwestern team in 12 years the Bulldogs surprised everyone and nosed a veteran team from Illinois Wesleyan Uni- versity out by a score of 8-7. The winning marker came in during an added inning, which was necessitated by the deadlock in score at the end of the regular game. Glenn Abel, the Bulldog second sacker, led the batting with three for four in this first game. The Illinois team came back the next day and defeated the Bulldogs 9-3. This ended the series between the teams. Another Illinois team invaded the Bulldog hideout and left the city with the same record as their brother statesmen — one victory and one defeat. Again Governale was outstanding, winning the first game with the North Illinois State Teachers 13 to 3. In the second game, the Teachers came through with a score of hits and pushed 14 runs across the plate while the Bulldogs were registering only 7. COACH CLIFF JOHNSON JOE RODGERS NED LEWIS WILLARD BARNHILL PAT D ' AURIA FRANK MEYERS AL HOFFMAN At Camp Beauregard in Alexandria, the Bulldogs met the soldiers and defeated them by the score of 12 to 3. Ned Lewis, the Bulldog centerfielder, led A - ■ ' 91 V BALL SEASON the batting that day with four safeties in four official trips to the plate. Louisiana Normal invaded the Bulldogs ' camp next and suffered defeat as the Southwestern team continued their winning ways for the two contests with the Demons. The first game against the Normal Demons Southwestern won by a score of 10 to 6, behind the fine pitching of Governale, who by this time had earned the title of Ace Bulldog Hurler . The second game saw the Demons bowing 7 to 1. In the next three games, Louisiana Tech of Ruston defeated the Bulldogs three successive games. The first game was Governale ' s first loss of the sea- son when the Rustonians blanked the Bulldogs 4-0. Scoring four runs again the Techmen won the second game against the Bulldogs by the score of 4-2. The third game played on the Woodland Park diamond in Ruston terminated with the score of 12 to 1 favoring Louisiana Tech. In the final game of the series with the Techmen, and the curtain faller for the Bulldogs, Southwestern administered the Tech team their first defeat in ten starts. Credit for the win went to Ace Bulldog Hurler Lucien Governale, who replaced Bourque with one out and two on in the seventh. Governale retired the side without any further trouble. The final frame saw the Techmen rally, with Governale tight- ening in the pinch and the Southwestern team win- ning 7 to 6. Thus, with a record of six wins and five defeats, the Southwestern Bulldogs on the baseball field turned in their togs at the end of the season. Cliff Johnson ' s possibilities for a good team next season, appear bright with the eligibility of several star freshmen and the returning of most of the 1939 team intact. EARL BOURQUE HAROLD ABERCROMBIE FELIX deJEAN EARL BERRY GLYNN ABEL Women ' s Southwestern of- fers a variety of sports for women stu- dents. Some of the sports that are of- fered are: Bicycle riding, Tennis, Table tennis, Badminton, Basketball, Tum- bling, Volleyball, Soccer, Archery, and Shuffle board. Most of these are offered for class work, but some, such as Bi- cycle riding. Tennis, and Table tennis are available for the stu- dents ' leisure time. Each year there is what is known as Play Day . This day gives girls from all colleges a chance to take part in these sports together. It is not a day of rivalry but a day to make new friends and to renew old acquaint- ances. In this way each college learns what the others are doing in athletics. This year Southwest- ern will be host to the other colleges, the Play Day tak- ing place on our campus. In the future South- western hopes to fur- ther improve and to increase the interest in Women ' s athletics through the use of more and better equipment and more space that will be available in the new Women ' s Gymnasi- um which will be completed in the near future. TENNIS Coach Dutch Reinhardt teaches Johnnie and Frank a few fine points of the game. 206 Intramural Sports Southwesternenjoyed, under the supervision ol Coach Reinhardt, the most successful year in Intramural Sports that the student body has ever participated in. This year increased in- terest was shown and a very large number of teams were entered in all phases of the pro- gram. Interest in intramurals has steadily increased from year to year so that now we have in- tramural work in all major and minor sports. This is an important unit of the physical educa- tion department since it creates healthful and enioyable activities for many students who otherwise would not have the opportunity to take part in sports. The Student Body wishes to thank Coach Reinhardt and the phys- ical education depart- ment for the fine pro- gram that they have been able to put over. 207 Her Majesty, t h e Queen.
