In time, systems are per- fected and systematic management nears perfect management, though all systems are not perfect. To see a management that is systematic, your attention is called to the work of Mr. John W. Alexander and Mr. John Hardy. The departments of the College under the management of these two men have attained a high grade of efficiency. Mr. Alexander, as Intendant of Luckett Hall and as Treasurer of the College is, as time passes, setting himself to his place and his place to himself. Mr. Hardy, as Steward, with many years of experience, has his de- partment in working order that nears the perfect. In these men the College has obtained the services and equipment that are necessary for their departments to be kept in the ranks of the rapidly advancing College in its other de- partments. 22 SENIOR Motto ROOT LITTLE PIG OR DIE” Colors GRAY AND PURPLE Flower VIOLET Officers GEORGE A.

When he came to College he was as simple as a little field daisy, but it was not resort to the French to find a word sufficiently expressive to describe him and, so. we call him a “rough-neck.” He is a great advocate of “Frecklenomore Face Cream” and each summer takes the road in the interest of this life saving remedy. It is said that he sold three dozen jars to one un- suspecting female on his own testimony. Lewis’ s greatest weakness is “wine, woman and song.” ALBERT LEE BURKE, A. B. Prosper, Texas Member Y. M.

Lee is ’from Prosper—and prosper-ity has crowned all his ef- forts with but one exception. He has only a sparsely thatch- hair. May the surviving strands ever stand as monuments to their fallen comrades. Although very quiet and unas- suming during the first three years of his college course, he blossomed out this year into a society flower of the rarest quality. Lee is very popular and is always sdrrounded by some of his friends and agents for hair tonics. When he leaves A. C. his ambition is to monopolize the livery stable business of Sherman. 27 WALLACE HERRIN CLYCE, A B. Sherman, Texas Ever open, brave, and free.

This carnivorous animal is a two-legged. featherless par- adox. being at the same time the oldest and youngest in his class. He has a pompadour and hig feet and is very proud of both. Nature generally hangs simplicity on the face of a fool but Pep is an exception and there is a wise knowing look on his face that is deceiving unless you know him. There is a mutual neutrality between him and the ladies which is unfor- tunate as we believe he would have proved a useful adjunct if not an ornament to society. He is. however, quite an archi- tect and can draw plans for anything from a cob pipe to a chicken coop. He is a fast track man and is, we believe, the JOHN GEORGE DRUMMOND Pittsburg, Texas Art Editor Chromascope ’13; Manager Basket Ball Team ’13; Member Glee Club ’11-’12, ’12-'13; Member Athletic Council '11-’12; Re- cording Secretary ’ll, Supervisor’12, Athe- naeum Literary Society. The only one of his kind in captivity (by request). When only three days old the people of Northwest Canada were called in to see this prodigy and hear him sing. Since then his voice has developed wonderfully and now he can almost sing tenor. He came to us in his first pair of long trousers, having a watch as big as a homemade biscuit as a token of love to the departing son. His friends note with pleasure that he has, during his college course, developed a taste for pleasures other than those attending a rough-house, and it is thought that in time he will develop into a mild, amiable young man. 28 HUGH FITZPATRICK, A.

It is said that at Prep’s birthVenus hastened to .her next conjunction to behold at closer range the perfect lover. He decided in ’08 to take a college course as the best preparation for matrimony, and therefo- e came to A ustin College; As a side issue he sang in the Glee Club for several years, and took a course in Chemistry. It is thought that after he takes his A.

Though “Yaller” is very ugly, he has a sweet disposi- tion and handsome brown eyes. It is hard to get a peep at is too bad he talks so much as he has spoiled the shape of his mouth. He is never so happy as when wearing colored sox with tie to match. He is always preaching “love in a cot- tage” and draws house plans on his cuffs (when he wears a boiled shirt, which is seldom, as he hailsfrom Oklahoma). 31 GEORGE ALEXANDER McCALL. A. B.

This is a picture of a hot air transmitter, an invention which promises to revolutionize the art ol speaking. It is ball bearing throughout and is guaranteed to run an hour without winding. In other words Monty talks a great deal and sometimes almost interestingly. In fact, his two distinct characteristics are gassing and laughing, which leaves us to believe that he is raised on laughing gas. He is quite skillful the Lyric and Chapel.

Mandy came to college from the Plains, a wild and un- tamed specimen of humanity. Many efforts have been made to civilize him but in vain. He has pretty rosy cheeks and very red hair. In fact, his hair is so red he always dreads having it cut for fear he will bleed to death. Its thermal ef- fects are most powerful. His redeeming feature is his voice. It is said that swans sing and then die.—what a pity Mandy was not a Swan. He is “Percy's” own brother, which per- haps. accounts for many of his strange actions. He is harm- 34 CHARLES CAMPBELL PARKS, A. B.

Charlie emerged from the wilds of Lancaster, Texas, and entered Austin College for the purpose of acquiring profi- ciency in those things which would make the natives proud of him when he returned. He has always manifested a pe- culiar affinity for Chemistry, Physics and Baseball. He has never failed to pass a second examination in his science course and his work in the pitcher’s box has always been consistent. His knowledge of the National game is phenomenal. It is said that when the editor of Spalding’s Baseball Guide is in doubt as to any point about the standing of any of the league clubs or of the individual players, he at once refers the matter to our Charlie. He is versatile, studious—for ex- ams,—and liked by all. GRAYHAM BOYNTON PURCELL.

Can any good thing come out of Archer City? This was prived of the enjoyment of these western raptures while in College, nevertheless, his appreciation of the beautiful in na- ture did not degenerate; but he chose to cultivate it on a somewhat higher plane by allowing himself to be lured by soft words of fair damsels. “Hence,” he often exclaims jn his impatience, “They were made beautiful only to tantalize man.” He is a special favorite among the gentler sex, who speak of him as that “handsome fellow.” So half life’s bat- 35 MYRON AUGUSTUS SMITH, A.

We think we have in Joe the missing link. He has not taken a full course in Austin College, but has, with Professor Harwell’s ad vice, specialized in Greek, the ladies and himself. He was never known to study, and spends most of his time administering moonlight and verse in dilute quantities to the fair sex. Has been married twice since joining us and is again a candidate for matrimony. He is also very religiously inclined aad takes to his Bible like a fish to dry land. But with all his faults Joe is a fine fellow, and is liked by every- body in general and nobody in particular. He is editor of the Chromascope and has been very faithful in getting out of work and getting others into it. 3( EARNEST WHARTON THOMPSON, M. A. Bay City, Texas et out of life all that’s bes.

Texas When in the course of Senior events it becomes the pleasant duty to select Class Brothers the first demand is for handsome men. Especially is this imperative when the class is seriously limited in its stock. Whether we of ’13 have chosen well, we leave to the better judgment of the reader. But our Brothers have other qualities that com- mend them highly to all who know them. Aldrich is pleasant and affable and every- one is his friend. To know him is to like him and esteem his friendship. We are proud to call him “Brother,” and hope that we may always be ranked among his hosts of friends. ARTHUR GORMAN HOPKINS. Marshall, Texas They call him Sis so we elected him Brother to save his reputation. He is the original man with the idea. Several years ago he started the Austinian, but the poor thing grew sick and died after a lingering existence. But Sis has other distinctions. He is the President of the Y. M. C. A. and of his class as well. He is a universal fa- vorite at Kidd-Key and perhaps no one has made more friends in Sherman or will be missed as greatly as Sis. To such brothers as these the Class of ’13 attributes a large measure of its success and happiness, and our wish for them is that their Senior year may be blessed by as happy bonds of broth- erhood. 54 THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE SENIOR CLASS.

It was given in the Sherman Opera House on March 7th. The whole performance was full of new, funny jokes and witticisms. The six feature comedians were Gerlach, Blake, Rose, Gaither, Grafton and Hughes. The Minstrel did not lack variety. Besides the regular circle there were songs by professionals, a Dutch dialogue by Mr. Hammond, a Spanish love scene by Guitart and Cunningham, and clog dancing by an expert—also by Mr. Grafton who made the fa- mous split. Mr. A. G. Hopkins was interlocutor for the circle. An excellent feature of the show was the farce composed by an Austin College man, Mr. Blake. This took well with the Sherman audience and brought the house down many times. The charm of this part of the performance was due to the fact that quite a number of Sherman’s fairest and most popular young ladies aided in the songs—and appearances. Without them the show could not have been a success. The Minstrel this year was under the auspices of the Junior Class, although they are indebted to quite a number of outside members. A trip is being planned for it and it is only hoped that it meets with the success elsewhere that it has in Sherman. The Bear. 61 Officers. E. E. EDRINGTON D. P. WEBSTER L. HOLLOWAY H. C. FOWLER A.

He is a graduate of Miami Univer- sity where he played on the football team four years, playing one year at guard, one at end and two at fullback. As a member of the track team he repre- sented the same institution in 100 and 200 yard- dashes, 120 and 220 yard hurdles, shot and discus and was also a member of the relay team. He went from Miami to Polytechnic where he coached the football and track teams two years and then came to Austin College. Here he has brought foot- ball right up to the top in Texas athletics and in- tends to take it even further and he will do it. We are watching and counting on Coach for whatever success we have in football, track and basketball. JAMES HUMPHRIES Baseball This is Jimmy’s first year as Coach of the Kangaroo Baseball Club. Last year he managed the Sherman Cubs in the Texas-Oklahoma League and finished them in second place. He has been secured as their manager again this year and thus will be with us until we close the season. Since this volume goes to press early in March we are un- able to record as yet Jimmy’s ability as shown by his team, but we are expecting it to be up to the standard. 87 TEAM Baseball CAPTAINS 89 TEAM 90 managers 91 X FOOTBALL SEASON 1912 MOST successful period was the 1912 football season. With the exception of 1911 it was the most successful one in our history. In 1911 we held third place; in 1912, fourth, being- outranked by A. M., Texas and T. C. U. The season was one of hard luck for the Kang-aroos. Two of the three defeats, Texas and T. C. U., should have been victories or ties at least but Luck was not with us. This is not merely the writer’s opinion but of the Texas sport- ing world in general. Our team was as good, as heavy, as well trained and as fast as last year’s bunch but even that cannot defeat Luck. But we will not quarrel with her nor make excuses, she may visit us in 1913. Early in the season we defeated Dallas University in a practice game by a score of 14 to 0. The team had only been working out two or three weeks but then showed signs of a heavy and fast team. Our first Association game was with Baylor at Waco on October 8th. Our men showed fine form and defeated the Baptists by a score of 8 to 6, making a touchdown and safety in the first part of the game. Baylor’s score came in the last few minutes of play, Austin weakening. Neither team kicked goals. This is the second season we have defeated Baylor. The next game, October 12th at Austin. A defeat that should not have been. Texas scored their only three points the last ten seconds of play in the second quarter by a drop kick. The referee admitted afterward that he should have given Texas a 15- yard penalty on the down before this, thus putting them out of distance. Austin had Several chances to score. The final score stood, Longhorns 3, Kangaroos 0. The third game took place at Dallas, during the State Fair, with T. C. U., on October 24th. This was the second defeat that should have been a victory. The team had an off day. Those who saw the game say that Austin had the stronger and better team. Time and time again we were within five yards of their goal line on the first down but could not cross. T. C. U. scored 7 in the first part of the game. 95 FOOTBALL SEASON 1 9 1 2 Continued The next game was at College Station on November 1st. The Farmers, one thousand in number, were pitted against our two hundred Kangaroos. They were heavier but had no more speed, nor grit than our fellows. Unable to withstand a heavier team of regulars and a team of substitutes, a score of 57 was was piled up against our 0. The first Association game played on our own gridiron was with Daniel Baker on November 9th. The final score stood 13 to 3 in favor of the Crimson and Old Gold. Daniel Baker scored their three points in the first quarter. Our men seemed lifeless and out of sorts. Daniel Baker had the game “sewed up in a sack”, so they said, but at the beginning of the fourth quarter the better team asserted itself. Austin became full £ life and pepper. Long gains, two touchdowns and a kicked goal came rapidly. Daniel Baker was played off her feet and never had a look-in. They had a good team but Aus- tin’s was better. Revenge came sweetly in the next game. We defeated Polytechnic at Sherman on November 18th by a score of 21 to 0, a sweet revenge for our defeat at their hands in 1911. They came back to repeat the stunt, but Grigg, the All Southwestern Halfback, said they shouldn’t and circled their ends for two of the three touchdowns. They couldn’t tackle him. The Thanksgiving game played with Rice Institute in Houston was a slaughter. 1912 was Rice’s first year but they put out a plucky team. Richards was out of the game for Austin but Drummond and Gerlach filled his place to advantage. The final score, 81 to 0, was the record score for college games of Texas. Not a quarter passed but what Austin did not pile a large score. We hope to meet the Grays again in the future and would be glad indeed to see them prosper and make an opponent of them- selves which will place them high among the colleges of Texas. Mr. J. Lewis Thompson gave the boys a banquet Thanksgiving night and if reports are correct it was right up to now and greatly enjoyed by the entire bunch. Coach Johnston’s efficient coaching was the principal factor in this and last year’s successes. Mr. Johnston has brought Austin to the forefront in college football circles and intends to keep it there, he says, and we believe he will. Mr. Joe. H. Smoot has made a manager difficult to excel. His untiring efforts added another great factor toward success. He was awarded the “A”. 96 STARS OF THE GRIDIRON J. T. ADAMSON Le ft Tackle Weight 165 Height 5 ft. 9 in. Age 24 Junior Class Games Played 7 1912 was John Tom’s fourth year on our grid- iron, three years at tackle and one at halfback. He is not as large or heavy as the average tackle but he is fast and quick and in the game with all of that ability of his from the sound of the whistle to the close. On the tackle-over-tackle play he al- ways comes in for a long gain. On the defensive he tackles hard and sure. As a Captain John Tom was entirely successful. He handled his team well and nothing was “run over” him. We hope to see him back another season. ALEXANDER GRAY Center Weight 170 Height 5 ft. 9 in. Age 24 Senior Class Games Played 7 Alex played his last game for Austin College Thanksgiving day. 1912 marked his third year on the team playing center each year and he showed himself to be one of the best centers Texas has produced. In the game from the start, in every play and passes always sure, no matter what the distance. Alex is a hard trainer, weighing only 170 pounds but every pound having its equal in nerve he has made the line look like a stone wall. Alex graduates this year and we regret to see him leave our gridiron. 98 CECIL GRIGG Right Halfback Weight 175 Height 6 ft. Freshman Class Age 20 ’ Games played 7 Grigg with his marvelous side step and stiff arm is Texas’s premier halfback. By an almost unanimous vote he was selected for. that position on the 1912 All State and All Southwestern Team. He has been with us for two years and has shown up exceptionally well both seasons. Scored more points on touchdowns than any other man on the team. Displayed his stiff arm exceptionally well in the Baylor and Texas games where tacklers fell off him as if he were greased. By a unanimous vote he has been elected Captain to head the 1913 Kangaroo eleven. R. D. RICHARDS Quarterback Weight 130 Height 5 ft. 10 in. Age 19 Sophomore Class Games Played 6 Chili and the quarterback position have been coupled together for three seasons now. He is not heavy but the possessor of a cool head and gritty, handling his team with a veteran’s headwork. He is a drop kicker of exceptional ability as well as a punter. Hardly ever misses a goal from place- ment. In handling the forward pass his aim is always true and swift. Undoubtedly a quarter- back of the first magnitude. 99 c. C. PRUDE Fullback Weight 160 Height 5 ft. 11 in. Age 19 Junior Class Games Played 7 Ike and football are very close akin, so close! that we are afraid it is going to be a tough propoei tion to fill his place next year. Ike had worlds of football in him and proved it at every stage of the game. A sure tackier and a hard bucker. Ike will not return next year, for with the gridiron din of sig- nals, shouts, groans and cheering only a month and a half in the past the wedding bells pealed out their enchanting strains and Ike followed. B. T. BROWN Right Weight 180 Height 6 ft. Age 19 Tackle Junior Class Games Played 7 Bap has been on the football team three years playing different positions each year. 1910 saw him at end where he was a tower of strength, 1911 at halfback, one of the hardest backs in Texas to stop on a buck and 1913 at tackle. Here he played a fine game as usual, opening up wide holes for the backs and making long gains on the tackle-over-tackle play. But his principal gains came this year on the tackle back play, a delayed buck, in which Bap showed his ability of 1911. We are counting on him for another year. 100 W. A. PRINCE Left End Weight 15S _ , Height 5 ft. 10 in. Sophomore Class Age 19 Games Played 5 Prince played his second season with us this year, filling his position at left end with fine- ability. He received forward passes in nice form but made his longest gains in the delayed-left-end-around-right-end play. Showed marked ability in getting down under punts and tackling his man. Good in piling interfer- ence. Prince did not return after Christmas but we hope to see him back next year as strong as ever. J. H. GULLEDGE Right End Weight 165 Height 5 ft. 9 in Age 17 Sophomore Class Games Played 5 Gullie hails from the Kentucky Military Institute where he held down fullback in 1911. He went right to work here but his worth was not found out until after the third game, when he was put in at right end. Here he stuck. Receives forward passes in excellent style, goes down under punts and gets his man in his tracks. Great on breaking interference around his end. Also a punter of no mean ability which he ex- hibited in the Thanksgiving game, the punting falling to him on account bf the regular punter being out of the game. We are counting on him next year and look for him to be stronger than ever. 101 M. HENDERSON End and Halfback Weight 166 Height 5 ft. 9 in. Age 19 PreparatoryClass Games Played 4 1912 saw Geronimo on the Kangaroo gridiron for the second season. He was not as strong this season as in 1911. Three games he was worked as halfback after which he was used as sub-end, playing one game there. At end he was good on receiving for- ward passes and dumping interference. Geronimo was not as strong this j’ear on the cross bucks that characterized his 1911 work. He was compelled to leave school in January and on account of the new’ T. I. A. A. ruling he will not lie able to be with us next W. E. WILLIAMS End Weight 145 Height 5 ft. 9 in. Age 17 Sophomore Class Games Played 2 Billy’s first year on the squad. Was worked as sub-end playing his two games at left end. Did stel- lar work in Daniel Baker game receiving forward passes and breaking up interference. Good on fol- lowing the ball on punts and gettingthe man who re- ceived the ball. Although he did not make a regular position this year we are hoping to see him back in 1913 in one of the end positions with his old time stuff and a little more. And moreover he is very likely to 102 H. G. TUCK Weight 170 Height 6 ft. Age 17 Left Halfback Freshman Class Games Played 7 Tuck is a former High School end and half- back. He worked hard from the very first and did fine work both at end and halfback. Had a fine whip for forward passes, “pointing them like arrows”,throwing them twenty, thirty, and forty yards. At end his star work was break- ing up interference and receiving forward pass- es and making good gains with them. At half- back he made good gains on bucks but his principal gains were on end runs. We are counting on him for next year’s squad. T. L. BRICE Right Guard Weight 190 Height 5 ft. 9 in. Age 17 Freshman Class Games Played 6 Brice is another Sherman High School man, playing the position of guard for them two years. This year heavy men were needed and he fitted right in at guard and played a consist- ent game the whole season. Featured on break- ing through the line and getting the runner, notably, the Poly game, and in breaking up punts. He will be back next year. 103 H. E. SMITH Left Guard Weight 180 Height 6 ft. 2 in. Age 19 Preparatory Class Gaines Played 6 Smith’s second year on the squad and firrj the team. Played a fine game at guard during the whole season, breaking through the line quite often and getting a runner before he had hardly started. Hard hitter and a sure tackier. No great gains made through his side of the line. We are counting on him next year for one of our strongest men. H. PRENDERGAST Guard Weight 178 Height 6 ft. Age 19 Freshman Class Games Played 2 “Pendie’s” first year on the squad. Was not out the entire season and played in only two games, those with Texas and Rice. Although his regular position is in the back field he did fine work in the line breaking through and do- ing damage several times. A punter of excellent ability, punting anywhere from forty to sixty yards. It is very likely that he will be with us again next season. 104 RESERVES The reserves and scrubs get the brunt of the work. Day after day sees them at prac- tice as regular as the first team men. When a victory is gained no one thinks of the scrub who has made it possible. But his tireless efforts are rewarded when he is given an op- portunity to fight side by side with his erst- while opponents and show them that he has the “stuff”. J. G. DRUMMOND Weight 145; Height 5 ft. 8 inches; Age 20; Senior Class. George is small but heavy built and fast; the possessor of a cool head at all times. Play- ed his half game at quarterback against Rice on Thanksgiving day. By his clever headwork he aided materially in piling up the score. W. C. MOSELEY Moseley in a football suit and a stone wall are very close kin. No gains were made through him at center. But he found his match when he went in for the last quarter of the A. M. game. We are counting on “Big Un” next year to do some good work. A. E. GERLACH Gerlach also received his workout in the Rice game on Thanksgiving, taking part of the game at quarterback. His generalship was of the highest brand and we are looking for him to show up something good in 1913. 105 BASE BALL CUPS LANG CUP In 1911, Mr. Garland H. Lang of the Class of 1907 presented the Athletic Associa- tion with an interclass baseball trophy, to be contended for in a series of games by the five classes of Austin College. In 1911 it was won by the Class of 1914 being closely con- tested for by the Class of 1911, it being necessary to play off a tie. In 1912, the Class of 1913 carried off the trophy and celebrated their victory with a midnight banquet and smoker, drinking from the loving cup. The 1913 series of games will be held the last of March and are looked forward to with lots of enthusiasm. ELY CUP The Ely Cup, given by Ely Ely, Jewelers, Sherman, is awarded to the man on the baseball club who makes the highest batting average. 1912 was the first year the cup was awarded, T. W. Williams, third baseman, winning it. The cup is of a beauti- ful design and causes each man to work hard for it. The competition will be rather large this year. 108 BASE BALL SEASON 1912 HE Baseball season of 1912 was not an entirely successful one. The team was composed almost entirely of new men, only two of 1911 ’s team being in school. Nevertheless under Heinie Maag’s effi- cient coaching the team met the best teams of ihe state and were not wholly conquered. The follow- ing was the lineup : Catchers—Williams, W. E.; Henderson First Base—Richards Second Base—Gribble; Edrington Third Base—Williams, T. W. Shortstop—Biggs Left Field—Gerlach Center Field—Clyce Right Field—Edrington, Coffin Pitching Staff—Burke, Parks, Canup Base Ball 1913 As this book goes to press the baseball squad has been working out for the last five weeks under the efficient coaching of Jimmy Humphries and is showing up especially well. The following last year’s men are back : Williams, Richards, Clyce, Edrington, Gribble, Biggs, Gerlach, Burke and Captain Parks. All are showing up fine with better stuff than last year. Of the new men the following are showing up good enough to make the club: Prendergast, Gulledge, Wood, P. Rich and G. Rich. Manager Leecrafthas arranged a good schedule with the best teams of Texas. The team leaves for the first trip of eight days the 26th of March. Several games will be played at home in April. We are counting on getting our share of all the games played this season and we are very likely to do so. 110 THE DIAMOND IN 1912. R. D. RICHARDS Captain and First Base Weight 136 Height 5 ft. 10 in. Age 19 Freshman Class Games Played 12 Chili has played two seasons on the Kan- garoo ball club holding down the initial sack both years, filling the position like a profes- sional. He takes throws in any position.covers lots of space on grounders and flies and fields bunts without difficulty. At the bat he comes in for his share of the hitting which is generally very large. In 1912 he was Captain of the club and handled it in fine style. He is back again this season. C. C. PARKS Pitcher Weight 140 T . Height 5 ft. J in. Junior Class Age 21 Games Played 5 “Chollie” was one of our slab-artists, his favorite ball being the curve. Although not the possessor of exceptional smoke his control was good and his cool head brought him out of quite a few holes. On account of his ability as lead- er he was elected Captain of the 1913 club at which he is making good as well as one of the box positions. He is in good condition and we are looking for him to show up fine this year. A L. BURKE Pitcher Weight 165 Junior Class Height 6 ft. 1 in. Games Played 2 Age 20 Lee was one of our best slab artists of last season, his specials being the fast ball and drop. Had worlds of steam and a cool head. Unfortunately conditions were such that he was able to work in only two games. It is not his fault, however, that both were lost, although the scores were very close, 3-2 and 3-1. Infield errors being the cause of defeat. Lee will be back this year as strong as ever. Ill W. P. CLYCE Center Field. Weight 140 Height 5 ft. 10 in. Age 19 Junior Class Games Played 12 Pep held down the center garden during the entire season of 1912. He covered lots of ground and pulled flies down from every direc- tion. Featured in the first Poly game with a difficult catch. At the bat he came in nuite often with the pinch hit that meant a score, jfait well up to the top of the batting list, averaging fourth for the season. Pep is with us again holding down the same old place and making good again. W. E. WILLIAMS Weight 145 Height 5 ft. 9 in. Age 17 Catcher Freshman Class Games Played 7 1912 was Billy’s first year on the team, nev- ertheless he showed up well from the start and held down the position like a leaguer. No op- ponent attempts to pilfer the second or third bag twice while Billy is receiving. At hitting he is up to the average, is swift on his feet which gives him quite a few hits which would be easy outs on slower men. He is back again this year and showing up better than in 1912. E. E. EDR1NGTON Right Field and Second Base Weight 120 Height 5 ft. 6 in. Age 18 Freshman Class Games Played 9 “Ducky” is little but awful fast, not one ball player but several of them. He was one of the 1912 season’s finds. In our second game he was player at third on account of the regular man being crippled and he filled it so creditably that he was taken on the trip as utility man. He again showed up exceptionally well and was given a regular berth in the outfield. Along to- ward the end of the season the second baseman was spiked and “Ducky” was put here where he made good as usual. He is with us again this year showing excellent form on second base. 112 A. E. GERLACH Left Field Weight 155 Height 5 ft. 9 in. Age 18 Sophomore Class Games Played 12 “Patrick” held down the left garden in all of the twelve games against other Association teams and his work here was of the first order. Off after a ball at the crack of the bat, in the game all the time with lots of life, a throwing arm hard to beat. At the bat he came in with a large number of pinch hits which meant scores. A good base runner with the hook slide working good. He is with us again this year, and is making good. Shortstop Weight 130 Height 5 ft. 10 in. Age 18 Sophomore Class Games Played 12 1912 was Biggs’ first year on the baseball team holding down the shortstop position. While not especially strong with the stick he came in frequently with the needed pinch hit. In the field he holds his position well, handling hard chances and cutting them to first at fine speed. When once an opponent reaches second base he must be wide awake to stay there as Biggs keeps them on the jump. He is with us again this year and in nice form. T. M. GR1BBLE Second Base Weight 160 Height 5 ft. 10 in. Age 18 Sophomore Class Games Played 4 Gribble held down the second sack in four of the intercollegiate games accompanying the team on the second trip. He covered lots of space and handled throws from the catcher in nice style. With the stick he was not brilliant but picked out a good one when it was needed and smashed it. He is with us again this year and showing up well. 113 SO U A I) TRACK TROPHY Hooks Cup HE Hooks cup is awarded to the man making the highest number of-points in the annual interclass track meet on April 21st. The cup has been awarded four years in 1913 by Mr. Pat Hooks of Itasca, Texas. The first two years B. Smith, Class ’12, was the winner and in 1912, W. C. McDonald Class T2, won the cup. Quite a great deal of interest is taken in the meet, each class fighting for the Championship and each man for the cup. In 1912 the Sophomores, Class of 1914, were champions of the school taking it from the Seniors, Class of ’12, who were champions in 1911. The cup will be open to large competition this year and the meet is looked forward to with a great deal of interest. 116 track athletics RACK work is gaining1 greater prominence year by year as an athletic sport in Austin College. The season of 1913 will make only the fourth year that we have had a regular coach in this branch. Be- fore the season of 1910 we had no regular coach, competed in no regular meets and no letters were awarded. In 1910 we put out a fairly good team, entered some meets and several letters were awarded. Since that time we have been slowly gaining. Only two meets were entered in 1912. A triangular meet with A. M. and Baylor at College Station in April and the annual state meet at Austin in May. We pulled out a second place in the the three cornered meet, A. M. outclassing us. The following are our men and the points they scored for us in this meet: Clyce, 6; Smith, 4; McDonald, 4; Relay Team, 3; Neil- son, 1; Hunter, 1; Gribble 1; and Shirley, 1. We sent only two men to the State meet, McDonald for the broad jump and Ciyce for the mile. Here only five points were credited to us, Clyce winning the mile in 4 minutes, 59 seconds. McDonald had an off day and failed to qualify in the jumps. In practice he had been jumping nearly 23 feet, but was unable to do twenty that day. We are sorry he will not be with us again this year to take an- other try at the state record. The following last year’s men will be with us this year: “Pep” Clyce, Captain; mile and half mile. Weight 135; Height 5. ft. 9 in.; Age 20; Senior Class. Strongest in the mile making it in 4 minutes 59 seconds in 1912. Long stride, fine wind and cool head. Awarded College “A” in 1912. H. W. Hunter, 440 yard run; Manager. Weight 155; Height 5 ft. 9 in. Age 23; Junior Class. Fast man with good wind, running the quarter with a cool head. His best time in 1912 was 96 seconds and he is improving each year. B. T. Brown, Weights. Weight 180; Height 6 ft.; Age 19; Junior Class. Bap is improving each year with the shot and discus and we are expect ing something from him this year, and don’t think he will disappoint us. • A. M. Gribble, mile and half mile. Weight 125; Height 5 ft. 10 in.; Age 21; Junior Class. Third year with us and doing better each year. Are counting on him for some more good work this year. Has nice stride and good wind. 119 BASKET BALL Basketball as yet has not gained a recognized place in the Athletic Association of Austin College and hence little time is paid to it. Though we have a nice outdoor and indoor court, a captain and manager each year no team is ever or- ganized or games played. All during the winter months the courts are used and this year quite a lot of fine material was developed, but on account of lack of funds no team was picked nor games arranged. We hope to see it in a recog- nized position in the near future, games played, lots of inter- est taken, interclass games, etc., and we believe only a little time will be needed to gain this position after the Athletic Association takes it in and sets aside funds especially for Basketball. 121 TENNIS CLUB Officers A.

Ward 127 THE PHILENNOIAN SOCIETY jjji HKN the Administration Building was destroyed by fire, the Philen- Ali noian Literary Society lost everything that it had. It was a blow to those members now in college and also to those who have gone out into life from its Hali. To the former it meant work without equipment for an indefinite period. To the latter it meant the destruction of all that they had labored to put there, representing much time and more money. It was an equipment in which any society might well have been gratified and though its loss, in the shadow of the greater loss to the college, did not loom up at first, it was not long before the enormity of it impressed us. Simultaneous with the recognition of the loss which we had suffered came the realization of what we must do. We must replace what we had lost and that as soon as possible. Not only that. We must put back some- thing better and liner than we had ever dreamed. And this is not idle talk. It means something. Already material assistance has come to our aid and we hope that calls upon our friends for help will not meet with deaf ears. If ever we needed the help of those interested in us it is now and we have rea- son to expect that our need will not be in vain. work and have not le tests we have conduc favored with any of I year is ended. We from the field of bati re materially with it. In the con- ly and though we have not been e hope for better luck before the :ir pass without taking something e have agreed upor our aim. Remembering that “not failure is crime, but low aim”, we have guarded ourselves against guilt. Enthusiasm is at its highest point now and we must keep it warm if we intend to do anything, Nothing can be done if we allow our ambition to cool. Most miraculous deeds have been ef- fected under white heat and we must depend largely on keeping the question hot to do what we want to do. Let all get into the spirit of the thing and though it will take time and anxious thought let us be able to say when our task is done “we did what we said we would”. Keep in mind that “work well begun, is half done.” 129 THE THOMPSON LITERARY SOCIETY MOTTO Armstrong Bruce Brewer Crim. J. T. Grim, R. L. Cunningham, D. W. Cunningham, D. L.

MONTGOMERY. THE PRELIMINARY ORATORICAL CONTEST. 77T H E Preliminary Oratorical Contest was held January 25 in order to vl'allow the winner more time for preparation for the State contest. Owing to the recent loss of the Administration Building, the Gymnasium of the Y. M. C. A. was utilized for an auditorium. Aside from the excite- ment of the attempted fire, the program was rendered smoothly. Mr. E. F. Montgomery, Athenaeum, won the contest with his beautiful oration “God in History”. Mr. A. G. Hopkins, Philennoian, was a close second with his excellent delivery of “The Value of Education to a Democracy”. Mr. Alex- ander Gray, Philennoian, using The Cry of the Children” and Mr. W. C. Earhart, Athenaeum, with “The Responsibility of the South” came third and fourth. The contest was easily up to the standard—many saying it was the best they had ever heard, which some always say. Mr. Montgomery will represent the college in the annual State Oratorical contest, held this year in Georgetown, April 18. With his splendid oration and an improved delivery we have sanguine hopes of his success and certainly every student wishes him the best. 133 GOD IN HISTORY. 134 137 E. S. GREGG E. M. ELLISON THE I IN T E R-S OCIETY DEBATE TVT O R manj- years Austin College has pointed with pride to the work I done by her two literary societies, the Philennoian and the Athenaeum. She believes in giving her students a training in these societies which will be of great practical use in later life. In accordance with this belief it is customary for four inter-society contests to be held each year, in order to promote a spirit of friendly rivalry and show to the public the results of lit- erary society work. The inter-society debate always proves to be one of the most spirited of the four contests. The debate this year was not an excep- tion. It was held in the Y. M. C. A. building on the evening of Friday, February 14, 1913. The question was: “Resolved, that the tenure of office of the President of the United States should be limited to one term of six years.” The gentlemen of the affirmative were J. F. Evans and W. R. Gregg, Philennoian; those of the negative were E. M. Ellison and E. S. Gregg, Atheneeum. The judges, Rev. T. A. Wharton, D. D., Judge J. W. Hassell, and Mr. Ed. Moore, rendered the decision in favor of the negative. 138 ASSOCIATION HALL OFFICERS A. G. HOPKINS, M4, President - E. E. EDRINGTON, ’15, Vice-President R. M. DONNELL, ’14, Recording Secretary - A.

A. in its prosperity of 1912-13 the loyal members of that time would have rejoiced indeed. They were facing the future with its promises of the first College Association building in our State. Their plans we realize today. The Y. M. C. A. building is a heritage of which we are justly proud. But we still keep our faces towards the future. Progress marks each added year. We were especially fortunate at the first of this year in securing Mr. M. L. Cashion as our General Secretary. He came to us from Hunters- ville. North Carolina, but had been in Erskine College, in South Carolina, the year before. Through his endeavors the Association has taken on new life. The membership has grown remarkably and together with it an inter- est in every activity. In the matter of equipment there have been several additions this year. In Septem- ber the swimming pool was opened for use and proved a valuable asset for pleasure and attractiveness. It is larger than the average in proportions, measuring twenty-five by forty-five feet and ranging from six to eight feet in depth. Shower baths are in con- nection with it. Its depth affords moderate diving and the spring board adds to the enjoy- ment. The water can be tempered in the winter making swimming possible the year But the bowling alleys have been the greatest addition and a source of great enjoyment to everyone. Even the grinds de- clare it excellent recreation after a day’s hard toil, to spend an hour in setting pins. The Fac- ulty, too, makegood use of “study hours”, yet have not developed much “striking” talent, but among the students there area plenty to “spare”. The alleys are the gift of Mr. Alex. Thompson of Houston, and are of the finest quality. They are side by side in their place, running the entire length 14: of the basement. The return in the middle serves for both alleys. They have taken an indispensable place in the Y. M. C. A, already and we wonder how we did without them so long. They are a valuable ornament to our building—.a thing of beauty and a joy forever. When, in January, the new Cabinet was installed with Mr. Arthur G. Hopkins as President everything was ready for the reception. Already a new era has been started for greater things in the sphere of the Y. M. C. A. The dormant spirit has been reju- venated and interest enlivened. The Social committee on February 17th, carried out one of the best receptions that its history has recorded. The convention at Corsicana: during’ February 20, 21, and 22, saw eighteen men representing us, the largest representation there. A series pf “Life Work” talks by strong men from the city made the Devotional meetings interesting. A series of services conducted by Mr. T. W. Currie, Secretary of the University of Texas Y. M. C. A. resulted in much good. In fact the Y. M. C. A. is a live factor in Austin College today, strengthening itself continually in service and equipment, and each next year glows brighter with promise as we leave the last. E. F.

Chesley In 1911 the student body took a decided step toward self-government in adopting the Honor System. In this system the students are represented by the Honor Council, composed of representatives from each class. To this council is left the treatment of all cases of misconduct which may arise in the progress of examination work. Since th£ adoption of the system each class has been intensely interested in maintaining the integ- rity of its members. Each student feels an interest, not simply in his individual honor, but also in the honor of his class and the College also. The Honor System has been a success, and has raised the standard of the student body to the high moral plane to which all institutions of learning should aspire. 151 PUBLICATIONS 'Nlemonam THE A L S TIN IA N life.
