In doing this you have added to your strength of character and left a worthy example to the boys and girls who will attend Abilene Christian College in country and'some of you finally to other lands and continents.

The physical education classes meet weekly in the Bennett gymnasium. Regular activities consist of calisthentics, basket- ball, hiking, folk games and dances, lectures on health and hy- giene, and lectures on play-ground direction and organization. Hiking is indulged in by the more ambitious exercisers and walkers. The class also learned folk games of Germany, France, Denmark, Sweden, England, Ireland, Scotland, Italy, and Amer- ica. Grace of movement, poise, and a sense of rhythm are thus developed. Tennis is played by many of the co-eds for recreation. This phase of physical education is under the direction of Willie Treat, tennis coach. Physical Education Classes FOOTBALL SI I MARY OK THE SEASON A. B. Morris, Coach Autumn—yellow leaves—stimu- lating weather—invigorating mar- tial music — animated crowds—a pep squad cheering to energize the football team. A brief huddle — a nervous si- lence — the quarterback barks a few signals — an exciting play is called—all are enlivened and stand as one man—the tweet of the ref- eree’s whistle—all is calm again. At last the final gun—the keen competition—the stinging weather —all tend to quicken and rejuvi- nate us. But last fall with its thrill- ing football games is gone — let these pages recall them for you. FELINES FINISH ONE LAP AHEAD OF CADETS The Cats delivered a good performance the next week in the first home fray of the year, finishing just one lap ahead of the T. M. C. Bulldogs in a 12-7 win. Lee Powell, Wildcat Captain and the only regular back from the 1931 team, got going in the end zone for the first counter. J. W. Owens went over from the one-yard stripe for the deciding touchdown, bringing the Cats out from Terrell’s 6-7 lead. In the point Smith broke loose over right tackle for the score. Barkley’s kick put the Canines in the lead. Bill Maxwell, junior college transfer to Abilene from Hillsboro, played all over the field at half to become the star of the game. ALAS! FRANCIS SMITH KICKS A FIELD GOAL Francis Smith’s toe was responsible for A. C. C.’s first grid loss to the McMurry Indians. Smith, star endsman for McMurry, kicked a perfect field goal from the 15- yard line while scarcely three minutes of play remained, and the Indians had the game stowed away 3-0, breaking a scoreless deadlock. It might have been a different story had it not been for an unintentional clipping offense by a Christian interference man. Bill Maxwell caught Johnson’s punt in the last part of the first session on the 30-yard marker and raced untouched for 70 yards and a touchdown for the Cats. But the play was ruled null. Plus was the conference opener for both teams, and their season with respect to5 the performance of both elevens.

By means of student and faculty donations in the winter term the Christian Band acquired attractive white corduroy suits trimmed m purple. These uniforms have been displayed ostentatiously since then on many occasions, and with reason too. The Band participated in several street parades, entertained in chapel several to Stephenville at the first of the year with the football team. Through both the football and basketball seasons the members were always faithful. A football game would not have been complete to the Kitten Klub without the Band playing “Peruna” at the halves with solo leads on trumpet, trombone, clarinet, and bass. And nothing could be more inspiring to a football team than to have the entire stands rise to the playing of “0, Dear Christian College,” by the Band.

Hardly two weeks elapsed before Los Alegres brought nation-wide honor to themselves and their school.
