Austin College - Chromascope Yearbook (Sherman, TX)

Text from Pages 1 - 204 of the 1912 volume:

Prof. Charles Carrington Scott, to whose example as teacher, gentleman and friend of young men, we pay tribute, this volume of the Chromascope is respectfully dedicated. Greeting. MEET AGAIN W70LUME XIII of the Chromascopk is now before you. It is not without some diffidence that we place it in your hands for inspection. Years of evolution have made the Chromascopk a highly finished product. Therefore we feel that it is scarcely possible to excel former numbers. However with their experience to teach us, we have had our labors somewhat lightened. Our aim has been not so much an endeavor to excel others as to present as much variety and novelty as possible. We trust that the commendation of our readers will signify that we have succeeded. We have done what we could. If these pages shall be found to repre- sent life as it is in the walls of Austin College; if in the future they shall serve as the means of throwing the light of other days around you, and shall bring from a vague border- land, the scenes of youth, we feel that we shall be fully re- warded. With these words we greet you.

Time has brought us to the end of the last and happiest year of our college life; happiest, because of your presence. Tour ever- ready words of cheer, your bright smiles, and your merry laughter have created a true bond of comradeship between us. We feel debtors to you for whatever of merit that has fallen to sympathy with us in times of trial, your joy in time of success have proven you sisters indeed. We part now. Probably all of us shall never with present will always bring to us the picture of happy days when you were with us. And now may the future bequeath to you that meas- wish of the Class of 1912. 39 Drink to me only with thine eyes And I will pledge with mine ; Or leave a kiss but in the cup The thirst that from the soul doth rise Doth ask a drink divine ; But might I of Jove’s nectar sup.

Oritfinof Austin College As the years pass and the progress of Austin College keeps pace, the story of its origin becomes more and more interesting. As early as 1831 pioneers in educational work urged the building of a school or college for the coming generations, but not until 1840 with the organization of the Presby- tery of Brazos were any material results obtained. On October 13, 1849, a committee consisting of Rev. Daniel Baker, Rev. J. W. Miller and Rev. W. G. Blair submitted to the Presbytery at Prospect Church, Washington County, their plan for a college, named in honor of Stephen F. Austin. This was the origin of Austin College at first located at Huntsville, but moved to Sherman in 1876. The old church in which this historic event took place is still standing and Austin College is testimony to the labors of those far- seeing workers who assembled there. 70 Here and There While not believers in evolution, it seems that sometimes the only difference between a man and a donkey is two feet. Just because a girl is a peach is no sign at all that she will preserve. A true gentleman never marries a woman because she has money; he marries her because he has none. A fellow sometimes is his own worst enemy and yet has enough friends to bury him. In the boarding-school, as elsewhere, the one who suffers is the “ultimate consumer.” All necessary for the enjoyment of love or hash is confidence. At a meeting of the student body recently the students decided to put their heads together and make a block pavement at the entrance to the main building. 71 Kangaroo Kourt Motto “DESISTE NON UTI FLAGRO” Colors Officers HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS, The Attorney HIS SATANIC MAJESTY TIMBER TYRANTS.........................

McDonald Football Squad The Thanksgiving Game CHILI” THIES A DROP A. C. PENALIZED EUR PUSHING FOOTBALL SEASON 1911 THE football season of 1911 was entirely successful. A. C. won third place in the Texas Association, being outranked only by the University of Texas and A. M. A. C. suffered defeat in two Association games—against Polytechnic and A. M. Early in the season the team lost to the Terrill School of Dallas in a practice game. The score was 6-5. The team had an “off” day, and the defeat more than likely served as a spur to greater effort later. Another practice game, against the University of Dallas, resulted in a score of 17-0 in favor of A. C. Of course these two practice games were not taken into consideration in the final ranking of the team. Our first Association game was with A. M. at Bryan. The Farmers, having a student body of 1,000 to draw from, put a team on the field which had our light weight team overwhelmingly out-weighed. Our boys put up a plucky fight and for three long quarters A. M. was held to the small score of 9 points. In the fourth quarter A. M. replaced many of her tired men with fresh ones. A. C. having become almost exhausted from her strenuous efforts against her beefy opponents in the previous three quarters and having no fresh men to put on the field was unable to withstand the onslaughts of the big A. M. men, and the score at the end of the game was 39-0 in favor of A. M. The next game was played against Baylor on her own field in Waco. A. C. showed fine form and came off gloriously victorious—the first time Baylor has ever been defeated by us—the score being 9-0. The next game was a slaughter. T. C. U. who heretofore has always beaten us, came to Sherman with the intention of doing so again. Did she? Practically our whole squad got into the game. The final score was 39-0 in our favor. We were not so fortunate in our game with Polytechnic at Ft. Worth. Brown, one of our stars in the back field, was ill, and the whole team seemed to have an “off” day. The score was 9-0 against us. But there is good reason to believe that this game will .be thrown out. One of the rules of the Association is that no man is eligible to compete in an Association game who attended any other college or university the year previous : a man coming from one school to another must attend the latter college for an entire school year previous to playing on the team in his second year. In our game with Polytechnic, that school played a man who had played with another college the preceding year, thus rendering himself ineligible. This should forfeit the game to us. Whether, however, this game is thrown out or not will not affect our rank as the third best team in the state. 89 Our team, in the next same which was played on our home ground� against Dan- iel Baker, played in a badly crippled condition. Captain Moore had left school; Brown, being not yet over his spell of sickness was used for only one quarter ; Neil son, our star fullback was out owing to injuries received in the Poly game. But this condition only served to bring out such good subs as White, Llewellyn and Mills, and to show that “Ike” Prude, who was moved from guard to full, had the stuff in him for a strong back- field man. The score at the end of the game stood 6-0 in our favor. In the game at Ft. Worth the following Saturday, we were again victorious, defeat- ing T. C. U. the second time by 18-8. Thanksgiving Day 1911 will go down in the history of the College as a great day. Austin College 3, Southwestern 0. Southwestern came to Dallas confident of victory, and lamenting the fact that she “had to play such a little team as ours on Thanksgiving day.” Our team was still in a crippled condition. Four regular men were out; Tom Moore, former captain and end ; Neilson, fullback ; Brown, halfback, and Gray, our new captain and center. The team seemed up against it. But this condition only made the team work the harder; and the spirit behind the team was such that they just had to win. The whole student body was in the game with their very souls. Defeat was out of the question. What was the result ? The men used to fill the vacancies played like veterans. Every member of the team was a star at his position. Southwestern was out- classed on the field, and in the grandstand. The greater part of the game was played in their territory; in fact only once did they get in striking distance of our goal, where their drop kick went wild and their only chance to score was lost. Their rooting was feeble, very feeble, compared to A. C’s, and their band was a joke in comparison. “Chili” Rich- ards, our phenomenal little quarter, handled the team like a born general and scored the only points of the game when he placed a beautiful drop kick between the uprights from the 23-yard line after four previous unsuccessful attempts. Griggs, as usual, was the star when long runs were needed. Time after time did he circle Southwestern’s line for 30 and 40 yard gains, and it seemed as though he must cross the goal line. Mason at right tackle played his last college football game, this game marking the end of his fourth year on the team. He tore holes in the opponents’ line wide enough to drive a wagon through, and always stopped the opposing backs when they came his way with the ball. Prince and White on the ends did even more than was expected of them. Purcell,, having been shifted from guard to center, played the same strong, steady game that he used to at that position in 1910. Adamson at tackle held up his side of the line as did Mason on the other, with all there was in him,—and there’s world’s of “football” in him. Thomson and Llewellyn, both of them former subs, proved beyond a doubt that they had the making in them of dependable guards. Henderson, another former sub, did credit to himself and to the team at halfback, and his name must be enrolled among the “first team men.” Prude, at full deserves special mention. Wherever the ball was, there was Prude. He showed up well in every phase of the game. Concerning the game in general, we wish to assure Southwestern that their game with us in 1911 will ever be remembered by the students of Austin College as a particu- larly clean and fair game. After the game the team with Coach Johnston and Manager Smith were given a banquet at the Oriental, by J. Lewis Thompson, and after the banquet they were given a box party at the Dallas Opera House by Pat E. Hooks. The student body met the team at the train the following morning with a decorated float and hauled them triumphantly back to the College. That night the victory was celebrated by a parade,—all wore regulation “evening clothes.” Our success was due in great part to the efficient coaching of Mr. Chester John- ston. Mr. Johnston is a graduate of Miami University, where he played on the foot- ball team representing that institution for four years. He certainly turned out a win- ning team for us. He will more than likely be with us again next year. Myron A. Smith proved an efficient manager. He put a great deal of his time and energy into the work, and always had his business right at his fingers’ ends. He was awarded the “A.” 91 Texas Football Results, 1011 A. M. vs. Southwestern, 22-0.

Weight 165 Age 23 Gray held down center on the ’09 team ; taught Preps in ’10 and was therefore ineligible. But he kept in train- ing-during the season he was out and came back strong in 1911. In fact Gray is one man who is always in condition. The character of his playing was such that he bid fair for All-State Center. He is not only a sure passer, but is ex- ceptionally strong on defense, breaking through the oppo- nents’ line and getting far more tackles than the mediocre center. Owing ter his strength and steadiness as a player, coupled with his uprightness as a team-mate, he was unan- imously chosen Captain after Choc Moore left school. Gray got sick just before Thanksgiving and did not get to even see the “big victory.” His absence from the team was greatly missed. He will be with us again next year, and probably will make All-State Center. G. B. PURCELL Left Guard and Center Height 5 ft. 10 in. Weight 170 Age 21 Purcell won his “A” in 1910 at center. This year he gave up his position to Gray, and tried for guard, making that position easily on account of his ability. He is one of the best guards that ever rep- resented A. C. Strong and steady, a hard hitter and a sure tackier. In the Thanksgiving game he took Gray’s place at center, and demonstrated that he could play that position as well as he always did in ’10. He will be back next year. 95 B. F. BROWN Left Half Height 6 ft. Weight 175 Age 18 This was “Bap’s second year on the team. He seldom failed to g«ain when given the ball. He is es- pecially strong on bucking the line, always hitting1 it hard. He puts up excellent interference. On defense he is great on smashing interference, and is a bard, sure tackier. Brown took la grippe just before the Polytechnic game, playing in that game only one quarter. He had barely recovered from grippe when the mumps got him. putting and end to his hopes of getting into his old position for the remainder of the season. Brown was one of our strongest men for the past two seasons, and we are expecting great things of him next year. - CECIL GRIGGS Right Halfback Height 6 ft. Weight 170 Age 20 Griggs is a former Sherman High School half- back. He worked hard from the very start. He starred in every game, showing up especially well in the Thanksgiving game, where he seldom failed to gain 10, 20, 30 and even 40 yards either around end or through the line. He is fast on his feet, a great dodger, but his stiff-arm was his strongest point. On defense his tackling was hard and sure. He was also a good punter, and a dependable man to handle forward passes. We are counting on him to make All- State half next year. He was mentioned by several authorities for that position this year. MALCOLM HENDERSON Left Half Height 5 ft. 9 in. Weight 155 Age 18 “Geronimo” hails from Corpus Christi and this is his first year at A. C. During the first of the season the coach did not seem to get much out of him but as the season progressed he developed and in the Southwestern game showed that he had the right stuff in him. He is a hard hitter and fierce tackier. He is a tough customer to tackle when he has the ball lowering his head and charging as his name “Goat” implies. We are counting on him being one of our strongest players next year. R. D. RICHARDS Quarterback Height 5 ft. 9 in. Weight 140 Age 19 This was “Chili’s” second year on the team. He is a quarter of the first magnitude. Has good judg- ment, always clear-headed and cool, and keeps the whole team right under his thumb. His punting is of the first order and his excellent drop-kicking won many a point for us—notably the Southwestern game. In the forward pass, also, his aim is always true. “Chili” is of slight build, but he is “some” football player nevertheless. He is also a crack baseball player, being first baseman and captain of this year’s 97 J. T. ADAMSON Left Tackle Height 5 ft. 8)'t in. Weight 165 Age 23 The season of 1911 marked Adamson’s third con- secutive year on the team. In ’09 he played halfback, in TO tackle, and this year tackle again. John is not very tall, and not as large as the average tackle, but he is stocky built, very strong, and quick in his movements. On offense he always opens a good hole in the line for the backs, and on defense he tackles with the tenacity of a steel trap. Owing to his ability and popularity he has been chosen as captain for next fall. His leadership will do much towards making a strong team. W. A. PRINCE Left End Height 5 ft. 9l i in. Weight 156 Age 18 The season of 1911 was Prince's first with Aus- tin. He seemed to fit right in at left end and played more time than any other man on the team. He is a strong man, nervy, aggressive and fast. Prince was a good receiver of the forward pass and made good gains with it. He showed rare ability in getting down the field under punts and tackling the oppo- nent who received the ball. In the left-end-around- right-end play he never failed to make a substantial gain. On defense he was good in piling up interfer- ence and downing his man. OQ J. H. WHITE Right End Height 5 ft. 8 in. Weight 140 Age 19 Little Harry, despite his failure to make the team in 10, came back this year and in a very short time developed into one of this year’s stars. He is just a small bundle of grit and speed. At end he never failed to break the opponents’ interference and usually got his man besides. He was the surest tackier we had and by his dodging, whirling, and speed in the Thanksgiving game in running back punts gained many yards for us. Harry did not come back after Christmas, but we hope he can see his way clear to be with us next year. JACK LLEWELLYN Right Card Height 5 ft. in. Weight 170 Age 17 Jack came out for the squad the first day, and before the season was over proved that he had it in him to be one of the team. He is a strong man in his position and we are expecting him to hold down his place creditably again next year. He showed up ex- ceedingly well in the Thanksgiving game. He is an aggressive player, having a good head, plenty of nerve and worlds of strength. Watch out for Llewel- 99 H. H. NEILSON Fullback Height 5 ft. 10 in. Weight 165 Age 20 Neil son was a sub in ’09, played fullback in ’10, and full again in ’ll. He is indeed an excellent full- back. Is fast on his feet, an almost irresistible ava- lanche in line plunging, and a hard tackier. In the “A-formation” play, which is in principle a delayed buck, he has made himself famous carrying the ball across the line for many of our touchdowns. Unfor- tunately he was injured in the game with Polytechnic and was out for the remainder of the season. C. C. PRUDE Right Guard and Fullback Height 5 ft. 10 in. Weight 160 Age 18 Prude is a born football player. He is not a big man. He is not a very fast man. But he has “foot- ball” in him, which asserts itself in every phase of the game. His regular position was guard, but when Neilson was out after the Polytechnic game, Coach Johnston shifted him to fullback, which posi- tion he learned to fill with credit to himself and to the team. “Ike” was great on offensive, but he showed his greatest skill as a football player on the defen- 100 C. C. MASON Right Tackle Height 6 ft. Weight 185 Age 24 Fourth and last year on the team. Was a tower of strength in the line,—a match for any opponent. Could be depended upon to open holes for the backs on offensive and to stop opposing backs on defensive. Extra good in getting through the opposing line and breaking up plays of opponents and blocking kicks. Seldom failed to gain on his tackle-around play. “Big-un” played in his last game for A. C. against Southwestern on Thanksgiving Day. All who saw that game remember how “Big-un” played rings around his opponents. It is with regret that we see him leave our gridiron.

Clyde Eagleton, in the mile, Breedlove Smith, captain and all-round man, Perrin Clyce, in the half mile. Will McDonald, in the dashes and broad-jump, Douglas Mebane in the discus and hammer, Horace Neilson. in the shot-put, Gus Gribble, in the mile and half mile, Lawrence Wharton in the mile, Harold Hunter and Morton, in the 440, and Newell in the pole-vault, composed last year's (1911) team. Loretz and Carey, two of the baseball players, also, took time from their baseball practice to do track work. Carey was very fast in the dashes, while Loretz was good in most any event. silver cup, donated by Mr. Pat E. Hooks, President of the Alumni Association, is given to the athlete winning the greatest number of points. Breedlove Smith won the cup in 1911, as well as a similar cup donated by Mr. Hooks in 1910. The meet last shi.p. The Class of ’12 won the meet and were treated afterward to an ice cream supper The next meet entered was the big Indoor A. A. U. Meet held in the Coliseum at Ft. Worth on April 11th and 12th. The meet was held at night, and athletes from every college in the State except the U. of Texas competed. Each event was closely contested. place in the mile, and Breedlove S.nith second in the hurdles. If fourth places had been counted, we would have had several more points to our credit. On April 29th, we easily defeated Polytechnic in a dual meet on our home track. The score was 72 to 48. The best records made were the 50-yard dash won by Rice of Poly in 5 2-5 sec., the 220-yard dash won by Smith of A. C. in 22 2-5 sec. on a curved track, and the broad jump also won by Smith with a jump of 21 ft. 1 1-2 in. The Annual Cross-Country Run, held on May 3d, was closely contested, first plac; being hardly fought for by Perrin Clyce and Lawrence Wharton, Wharton winning the race in the last few yards. He was awarded the silver cup given by Mr. L. C. Smith, Whatever success we had in 1911 was due to the Coach, Dr. E. C. McLaughlin, who coached the winning A. M. team of 1910. We have several good men out for track this year, and are fortunate in having Mr. Chester Johnston as Coach. Manager McDonald is making arrangements for a triangu- lar meet with A. M. and Baylor at College Station the latter part of April, and will also carry the team to the State Meet at Austin in May. 110 Track Team. TRACK MEETS. FINAL SCORE Austin College 72; Polytechnic 4«.

In each the field of labor is broader; personal responsibility heavier, and self-reliance more indispensable. As regards the Y. M. C. A. the past year is one of marked growth. An increased proportion of the students were enlisted in the work; more money expended to make the work instructive and inspiring; animated by unique devotional programs. We mention, among the particularly helpful features, the invaluable over- sight of I)r. Clyce; the zeal of President Lang; the visit of Dr. Weatherford and Mr. J. L. Hunter, and the untiring interest of the Devotional Committee. This committee deserves praise for securing strong Christian men of the city and elsewhere to address the Y. M. C. A. at its regular meetings, draw- ing a large attendance and evolving a higher spiritual life. Last September we were made to rejoice by having our new building ready for occupancy. The rooms of the third story are temporarily fur- nished for the use of the boys ; on the second floor we are provided with a library, reception and prayer-meeting rooms; the water and heating plants have been installed; the natatorium completed, and work on the gymnasium and basement is progressing steadily. We can safely say that, unless some unforeseen obstacle arises, the Y. M. C. A. will have next fall not only a valuable building, but a beautiful and finished one. To God be all the praise, from Whom is every good and every perfect gift, and in Whom we “live, and move, and have our being.” May he guide and prosper the Cabinet of 1912. 143 Ministerial Candidates’ Association 144 The Honor Council A.

This leaves to the students, through means of a Council, elected by them, the treatment of all breaches of conduct discovered in the progress of class or examination.work. We are proud indeed to see our student body standing for the integ- rity of its members. The System has been found highly satisfactory and we are confi- dent in the belief that it will be perpetuated. The greatest benefit that will be derived from this system is that it will create a healthier spirit in the student body. An appeal to a man’s honor is one of the strongest and when he can be made to feel that any irregularity is a breach upon his honor and consequently that of the student body he will feel more strongly his responsibility. Every man will guard himself well and the Honor System will serve its best purpose, namely, to make conditions so perfect that its measures will never have to be evoked. 147 College Yells 148 Dallas Club.

With the aid of a college publication every phase of student activity has an opportunity to receive notice. In the dissemination of local news the Austinian serves a purpose unattainable by any other means. The working plan this year is to have it published by the Athenaeum and Philenno- ian Literary Societies. In February the publication was changed from a weekly paper to a monthly magazine and in this form it will appear hereafter. 158 The Austinian The Austinian Vol. II FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1911 Number Id I ltepapy THE SOUTH’S COTTON. 162 163 164 165 THE OLD MOUNTAINEER'S STORY. IT was late one autumn afternoon, in a beautiful valley far back in the hills. The brown leaves were scattered over the ground, but many still hanging on the trees showed that nature was not yet ready for her long winter sleep. Below, a little brook tumbled over the rocks. Along its sides a path wound in and out among the bushes ever leading up the mountainside until it disappeared under an overhanging crag which seem- and had come from the stir of city life to rest awhile in this quiet valley. As I sat on a rock, drinking in the beauties of nature, an old man came toiling up the path. His ap- pearance was striking. He was dressed in a hunting suit made of skin; his hair was gray, his face wrinkled; and there was a slight stoop in his figure. But the flash of his eye told that the mighty forces of nature had as yet affected him but little. I watched him up the path until he entered a cabin door far above me, and then I started home just The next day I asked a friend who the old man was, and the more I heard the more interested I was in him. “The old hunter is rather peculiar, suh, and I reckon there’s a lot a folks don't know about him. He moved in that cabin not long after the war. Folks in these parts at first thought he was a moonshiner, but after he lived here a long time that opinion died out, and he was finally accepted as ‘The Hermit.’ He is always cour- teous to strangers but keeps to himself, so that in time he came to have a passing ac- quaintance with everybody in the hills, but was on intimate terms with none.” “Does he hold off from everybody, or are there some he is more friendly with than others?” I questioned. “Nobody but the children. It’s strange how he loves them. They visit him is his old cabin, and tell many stories of how good he is to ’em. And you let one of ’em git sick and he’ll be right there to wait on ’em. Knows how, too, but he always pulls out soon as the danger is past, and don’t have much to say to the grown-ups. One evening little Sallie Turner got lost -she’s most grown now—and in the night everybody gave up hunting, but he kept right on, and long about day-break he came bringin’ her home.” “Has anybody ever been up to his cabin?” “How’s he got it fixed up?” I asked, now deeply interested in his history. “O, nothin’ much in it. Just a rough table, a bed and some stools. He’s got the walls covered with hides. He’s got some books on a shelf and two pictures—one of a young army officer, which looks like him. and the other a purty young lady. Some folks think there’s a story about the pictures but I don’t know. The children say he treats them good and tells ’em stories, but one time they asked him about the picture, and he flared up right quick, but in a minute got to dreaming like and never did notice ’em when they tiptoed out and came home.
