What a world of merriment their laughter foretells. How they chatter, chatter, chatter. In the icy air of night.

SPONSORS Dorothy Scarborough Orlena Shaw Page Seventy-Thre Kappa Gamma Chi Literary Society THE advent of co-education in Austin College found two well or- ganized literary societies in existence among the boys. One of these opened the doors of membership to the girls and such arrangements sufficed for a time. But this failed to meet the needs of the girls in the fullest sense and the germ of an individual, separate organization came into being in the early fall of 1919 and the new year found a new society come to stay—the Kappa Gamma Chi Literary Society for girls. The Kappas mean to the girls what the Aths and Phils mean to the boys. Its aims are as theirs, threefold—literary, social and culture. Some gen- eral study course is followed each year and the programs are beneficial as well as entertaining. Discussion of some phase of literature, as the novel, the drama, the short story, generally or specifically, occupy the program. Xeedless to attempt to estimate the cultural value of such a society to the girls. Besides this there is the experience one gains in talking in public; the self-confidence and poise, so necessary to the woman of today in her present condition, acquired in our small meetings will be an incalculable aid in future life. The social feature is not to be forgotten. For man is a social creature and the pleasant intercourse and contact we obtain from our literary society well repays the efforts which we put into it. Many social functions and courtesies are exchanged with our brother-societies which will not soon be forgotten.

By this means the students are made directly responsible for the manner in which their examinations are conducted. The Honor Council which presides over all cases and irregularities on exami- nation is made up of representatives from the various college classes. Four members are elected from the Senior class, three from the Junior, two from the Sophomore, and one from the Freshman class.

Lando, George Williams, Denny The Kangarooster STAFF A t The Kid Coaches WHEN it was announced last summer that Charles Rob- ertson, Dave Pena, and Raymond Morehart would coach Austin College for the year 1922 all the old heads in Texas coaching shook their heads dubiously. “Too young, too young,” they muttered, and then one, more witty than the rest, in a moment of happy inspiration satirically dubbed them the Kid Coaches. The name stuck. And during the entire football season, they kidded the poor old things until it was a shame. Really, a crime to wake the Methuselahs of Texas football in the seats of the High and Mighty at such a late date. The work of the Kid Coaches for the season of 1923 has been little short of marvelous. The football team which the Kid Coaches produced was a revelation to the followers of the grid sport in Texas. It is needless to say that the Coaches endeared themselves, both personally and collectively in the hearts of Austin College students for all time. Both Robertson and Morehart will return to assist next year, although nothing definite is known regarding Pena’s plans. HERBERT L. HOLLIS (Captain) Full Back Wt. 165 Hub was undoubtedly the best full back in the T. I. A. A. as he was unanimously chosen to All T. I. A. A. team for three successive years. He was one of the best Captains the Kangaroos have ever had, a good ground gainer and a dependable field goal booter. Hub was ruled in- eligible before the season was over and consequently will not be with us next year. He will be long remembered for his brilliant run in the South- western game on a muddy field. H. O. CRAWFORD Left Guard Wt. 175 Molly was a newcomer on the team, but in spite of this he played a steady brand of football through- out the season. There is little ques- tion but what he will make an All T. I. A. A. guard next year. He al- ways held his ground and very few plays were pulled over his guard. He is a hard worker and good trainer; there is little question but what he has a brilliant football future before him. W. L. VAUGHN Left Tackle Wt. 175 Bill was the other capable tackle, a quick thinker, good at diagnosing a play and fast as a streak. He tore through all lines that confronted him and made many tackles behind the lines. He was chosen all T. I. A. A. tackle for two consecutive years. Bill was especially good at going down the field on punts. Be- fore he finishes College football he will be one of the best tackles In the South. Page Ninety-Two C. D. POE Right Guard Wt. 156 Although one of the lightest guards in College football, Sleepy played a stellar role throughout the season. The Texas Longhorns will long re- member the little guard who broke through their line time after time. Sleepy will be with us again next year and his strength in the line will be greatly beneficial. He has been unanimously chosen on the All T. I. A. A. team for the last two C. L. SLOVER Left End Wt. 180 “Lanky ” made his first appearance in college football this yee ir. He bore the bruni : of the Kanga roo punting • failed to delive r the goods. His puntii ng in the Southw nendable. This tall lad has three mo re years of football before is very likely t All T. I. A. A. eleven. He will wear a Kangaroo uniform nex :t year. Page Ninety-Th) H. E. FRNKA Half Back Wt. 185 Frnka, a product of San Antonio Military Academy, played his first season with the Kangaroos this year, lie has a great football future before him as he has three more years of college football left. He played his best game against Texas University. His long run against the Longhorns will long be remembered. B. D. TOUCHSTONE Quarter Wt. 160 Blake, who started out as end last year but was shifted to quarter before the year was over, handled his position well. He was a hard and consistent fighter, playing every minute of the season, with the exception of only a few minutes in one. He has a cool head and a good knowledge of foot- ball. He was mentioned for the All T. I. A. A. eleven. Page A’inetg-Fc J. O. MORGAN Right Tackle Wt. 187 Dell started the season with a rush that carried all opponents off their feet. He was especially good at diagnosing the opposing plays and keeping his eyes on the ball. All opponents looked alike to Dell, who played no favorites. He proved use- ful in plunging the line on several occasions. He was selected as All T. I. A. A. tackle. Captain-elect Morgan will he one of the best tackles in Texas football again next year and is destined to be a great Captain, for he is a capable leader. U. S. DALMONT Sub. Linesman Wt. 210 Crab was a hard worker and a con- sistent trainer. He served as a guard on the Poucher squad three years before he was called on by the varsity. He was handicapped by injuries and lack of knowledge of the game. Dal- mont finishes this year, consequently he will b e missed when the initial whistle blows next September. Page Ninety-Five «JAPGD CIRKVnS. A. CONE Right End Wt. 175 Adam, a dependable end, a hard tackier and a good receiver of passes played a spectacular game against Texas University. He possessed a good football bead, and very few fakes sucked him in. This was his first year on the club; he served his apprenticeship with the Pouehers last year. Adam will make one of the best ends in the Association before he finishes his college football. W. C. STEWART Guard Wt. 190 “Griping” was called into almost every game this year and he always put up a hard fight. His strength and ability enabled him to break through the opposing lines almost at will. His work in the State game was particularly good. This was his second year with the Kangaroos, hence he has two more years of col- lege football to his share. rage Xinety-Eight E. M. ROLLINS Center Wt. 182 Macy proved his worth as a center in the first game of the season. He was handicapped by injuries during part of the season but his wonderful fighting spirit combined with his good training made him a dependable man. This is his first year in college foot- ball and during the three years he has left we are safe in saying that he will be the best center in the state in a few years. R. C. DICKEY Wt. 197 Clement, who made his second let- ter this year, was a hard working center. He was called into the game on several occasions and always ex- hibited a good knowledge of football. Dick was handicapped this year by a bad hand. In every game he was a tower of strength on the defense. Dickey graduates this year and his presence will be missed on the Grid- iron next season. Page X mety-Nii R. T. Smith Right End Wt. 155 “Dutchy”, a hard hitting, clean play- ing end proved to be the best man on the squad on breaking up end runs. This is his second year on the club and from the brand of football he showed this year, he is going to make somebody hump for an AU T. I. A. A. berth next year. “DutchyV’ work was especially commendable in the latter part of the S. M. U. game. He will be with the Kangaroos again next year. W. O. MILLER Half Back Wt. 145 Miller, who was a track man of last year and a member of the Poucher squad was developed into one of the fastest backs in the state. He was especially good at returning punts and skirting the ends. He made two of the prettiest runs of the season, one in the S. M. LT. game and the other in the T. C. U. clash. His bare legs will be remembered around S. M. U. for many days to come. He will be with the squad in 1923. One Hundred W. L. HILL Half Back Wt. 160 “Slime” was the surprise of the sea- son. The coaches took this man off the Poueher squad and made one of the most consistent ground gainers in Texas of him. Hill combines both speed and agility and is one of the best line plungers in the state. In consistency and ground gaining Hill was one of the most brilliant halfs in the state.

U. 7 Hundred Two TEXAS GAME AUSTIN College opened the 1922 football season with State University at Austin, on September 29th. Despite the fact that the Kangaroos had had only a few days practice they made a splendid showing by holding the Longhorns to a 19 to 0 score. Neither team was able to put across a marker in the first period, although Captain Hollis got away for a thirty yard run around right end, and at one time the Texas team penetrated deep into Austin’s terri- tory. The ball remained in midfield for the greater part of the quarter. Soon after the second period started Robertson, for Texas booted a field goal from the thirty yard line. The ball went back to midfield, and for the remainder of the first half neither team was able to gain consistently. During the first half both Captain Hollis and Frnka gained consistently, Frnka making a twenty-five yard run. The Longhorns came back strong in the third period and piled up sixteen points. Moore, Texas Center, blocked a punt and Texas recovered on Austin’s three-yard line; after three attempts Texas pushed the ball over for a touchdown. Robertson failed to kick goal. Soon afterward, the Longhorns made another touchdown on straight football, Robertson kicking goal. A few minutes later, he added a field goal. The Kangaroos came back strong in the last quarter, holding Texas to a standstill. Cole, Hollis and Frnka featured in the backfield, while the line fought as a single unit, holding Texas scoreless. HOWARD PAYNE GAME In the second game of the season the Kangaroos upset the dope bucket by defeated Howard Payne, conquerors of the A. M. Farmers. The Yellow Jackets came to Sherman confident of victory. Their team, reputed throughout the State for its fast backs and strong line, met its Waterloo at the hands of Pena’s protegees. Neither team was able to gain consistently in the earlier part of the game although the Kangaroos made a desperate drive to the thirty yard line, where Hollis attempted a kick from placement. In the second quarter Aus- tin took the ball and with a decided effort plunged, passed and skirted the ends till the ball was deposited on the ten yard line. After three unsuccessful at- tempts to plunge it over Touchstone passed to Slover for the only touchdown of the game. Hollis kicked goal. Both teams fought fiercely during every minute of the game but the con- centrated efforts of the Yellowjackets could not overcome the lead of the Kan- garoos. Chaney and Grady bore the brunt of the attack for Howard Payne. To attempt to pick the stars of the Kangaroo team would be foolish. The entire team played a stellar game both collectively and individually. Page One Hundred Th One Hundred Four imt SIMMONS GAME The declaring of Hollis ineligible and the controversy that followed made the Kangaroos overly anxious to blast the championship hopes of the Simmons Cowboys. Hollis, who was ruled eligible a short while before the game started was the outstanding star of the affray. Camp of Simmons was a close second however, as he bore the brunt of the Cowboy attack and made many creditable gains. Simmons, aided by the wind, started the game with a rush which carried them into Austin’s territory, but here Austin blocked a place kick and recover- ed the ball. The Kangaroos became used to the dust towards the latter part of the first half and advanced the ball deep into Simmon’s territory, only to be robbed of a touchdown by the whistle. Aided by the wind in the second half the Kan- garoos came back strong. Hollis, on a broken field run of forty yards, deposited the ball on the nine yard line, whence Hill carried it over. Hollis scored the second marker in the same period. The Kangaroos played a splendid game despite the deep sand and high wind. The line played consistently and the backs never lacked the punch to carry the ball over. The Simmons team made a splendid showing but the Kangaroos had them outclassed. T. C. U. GAME Returning from the western trip the Kangaroos settled down to some seri- ous work before the T. C. U. game on Armistice day. As a result of the work the Austin team had a comparatively easy game on the national holiday. The Austin backfield played an excellent game, making many long gains. Hill, play- ing his second game with the Kangaroos first squad, made the first touch- down shortly after the first period started. The second six point marker came as a result of the most brilliant run of the season. Miller received a punt on the sixty yard line and ran the distance of the field for a touchdown, sidestepping and outdistancing all pursuers. Captain Hollis went over for the other Kan- garoo touchdown in the second period. The Austin squad played an entirely of- fensive game for the first half. In the second half the Horned Frogs came back strong forcing Austin to take the defensive side of the game. The line was im- pregnable, however, and the T. C. U. squad had to rely on the aerial attack to put across their only touchdown. This came in the last period on a pass, Adams to Cherry. The Austin line played a brand of football that could not be beat, Morgan especially showing up well. The T. C. U. squad exhibited a brilliant aerial attack in the latter part of the game. Page One Hundred Five SOUTHWESTERN GAME On Friday, November 17, amid a downpour of rain the Kangaroos met and defeated the Southwestern Pirates by a score of 7 to 0. The game was devoid of thrills except for the brilliant run of Hollis through the entire Pirate team in the second quarter. Despite the mud and slippery condition of the field Hollis broke through the Pirate line, outdistanced the secondary defense, and ran sixty- five yards for a touchdown. The Pirates fought gamely but were outclassed in every department of the game by the Austin team. Near the end of the game Coach Pena made numerous substitutions, relieving the regulars who were thor- oughly water-soaked and cold. The features of the game were the punting of Slover and Hollis’ brilliant run. TRINITY GAME After making one of the best records ever made in the state the Kangaroos wound up the season by dropping a game to Trinity. The team showed the effects of the wear and tear of a championship run of consecutive victories. The steadying hand of Captain Hollis was sorely missed in the Kangaroo baekfield, Hollis having been declared ineligible by President Chandler a few days before the game. The Kangaroos lacked the team work that had been so evident in the preceding games. The Tigers fought hard and were determind to win but they were greatly aided by luck and the breaks of the game. This, coupled with poor punting and the lack of team work on the part of the Kangaroos, was respons- ible for the loss. Regardless of this defeat, the Kangaroos wound up the most successful seasons in the history of Austin College Thanksgiving evening when they were the guests of Pat E. Hooks at a banquet given in the Adolphus Hotel. Page One Hundred Su Season Review H. S. WHORTON Captain Elect Guard Paired with Morgan at guard was Whorton. Cotton's performance at this position was sensational. His speed and fighting qualities made him one of the best guards in the state. This is Cotton’s first year, and it looks as if he has a ticket calling for an all state berth next year. J. O. MORGAN Captain Morgan’s work at guard through- out the season was brilliant. His de- fensive work was almost goal proof and he showed exceptional ability as leader of the team. Warhoss will be back with us next year, and we are expecting great things of him. Hundred Ten HENRY CRAWFORD Guard Crawford started the season with a rush but slowed down and drop- ped his position to his room-mate, Cotton. Privately we believe it was because of the ill effects of Cotton’s hazing. At all odds however, Mol- ly played a strong game through- out the season, and was always on the job. LAURENCE HAYS Center Hays divided the honors with Slover at center. Hays was another chap with Mars Inspector build, and he did not fail to make use of this advantage. Hays, like Parker was a bit erratic, but with the coming of another season he should be able to steady himself, and play an invinci- ble game of ball. Page One Hundred Eleven G. W. CASE Forward After George’s creditable perfor- mance as “All Co-Ed” Quarter back it was not hard to forsee his success at basketball. George and John J. McGraw are exactly alike in that they both play largely from the side- line. However, it was George who, arose to the emergency and de- livered the goods when Parker was out. And it was George who yelled —I'm an “A” Man, don't touch me! Pane Hundred Twelve W. O. MILLER Forward At the beginning of the season Miller was switched from his old po- sition at guard to forward which left him somewhat at a disadvant- age. The handicap was not sufficient to keep the Mustangs Nightmare down, and he delivered the goods in first class style. JOHN PARKER Forward Johnnie came to us from Sherman High and showed clearly the bene- fit of his work there. At times Parker was a bit erratic, but he was a constant menace. On long shots he was especially effective, and his goal shooting was little short of the Pa je One Hundred Thirteen C. L. SLOVER Center When Tubby Wilson departed this vale of tears the wise guys decided that the last of the Moonfixers had departed. And then came Slover. Lanky showed he had the stuff at center, but was troubled at times with butter fingers. With another season he should be able to correct this fault, and should make one of the most formidable centers in the Page One Hundred Fourteen Basketball 1923 THE basketball season for 10SS was only a fair success. Coach Morehart was faced by the task of building a team out of practically new material and bis success was most marked. tet and at other times their play was not so good. Their failure to play consistently is largely due to the fact that the men had never played together before and consequently often lacked team work at critical moments. In the last game of the season with T. work and play, which swept their opponents from their feet. The Frogs simply couldn’t stand the gaff. Individually the Kangaroos played better basketball than they Whorton was on a par with the best. They fairly smothered their elected captain for the 192-1 season. At the forward, Miller and Parker worked throughout the greater part of the season. Both played a slashing game, the long shots of Parker being particularly effective at times. At center, Hays and Slover alternated. Both forward, and Golightlv. While these men did not get the same Page One Hundred Fifteen Track THE track season of 1922 was the most successful ex- perienced in some time. More interest was shown in this branch of sport than heretofore and much prom- ising material was uncovered. The Kangaroo tracksters de- feated Trinity University and Durant Normal Champions of Oklahoma, and lost a return meet with Durant by a close score. Much credit for the successful season is due coach J. D. Miller who at all times was an inspiration to his men. Lack of a cinder track was a serious handicap this sea- son, but with the material available and a cinder track, next years Kangaroo track team should be as strong as any team in Texas. One Hundred Sij n W. 0. MILLER Miller’s performance in the broad jump and also the high jump classed him with the best. As a member of the relay team, and also as a da.h- man, he contributed greatly to the strength of the 1922 track team. n J - ALTON J. DUPUY (Captain) Capt. Dupuy's work on the hurdles was unexcelled. On the low hurdles he was undefeated throughout the season. In addition to being an ex- cellent hurdler he was the lead-off man on the mile relay team Much is expected of him this year. J. B. HEAD Head’s work on the hundred, two- twenty and four-forty has been of the most sensational type. Through- out the past track season he was a consistent point winner. As captain for this year’s track team his work is expected to be even more notable than his performance last year. Page One Hundred Seventeer W. B. CHAPMAN Chapman ran the half and was the fourth man on the relay team. Des- pite the fact that he was regular on the baseball squad, his work on track was exceptionally good. )•' J a J. H. WILCOX “Badger” worked best on the mile, his long rangy build enabling him to step that distance in good time. He also ran usually as record man in the mile relay, and his work here was al- ways creditable. C. A. WILSON Tubby was our best bet in the weight events. As a rule he managed to take off both the shot put and discuss. His presence has been greatly missed this year. Pape One Hundred Eiphteei Track 1923 The 1923 track season has been a decided success. From a sport in which there was comparatively little interest it has developed into one of the leading sports of the school. Under the capable direction of Coach Cawthon a well balanced team has been developed. Captain Head in the dashes and quarter, Miller in the high jump and relay, Dupuy in the low hurdles, and Parker pole vault, javelin, are running true to pre-season dope. Lankford, weights, Hays, high jump, and Slover are also showing up well in their respective events. To date the Kangaroos have been in three track meets, winning one, and losing two. In both of these meets however, Austin cinder path ath- letes lose only by the margin of a few points. At this particular time it seems as if the Kangaroos have an excellent chance of rounding out a most successful track season. The schedule is a follows: March 31—Inter-Class Track Meet. April 7—Ada Normal at Ada Oklahoma. April 14—Durant Normal at Sherman. April 21—T. C. LT. at Fort Worth. April 28—Trinity at Waxahachie. May 5-6—T. L. A. A. Meet at Georgetown. Drake Relays—Des Moines Iowa. Page One Hundred Ticenty BASEBALL 1922 R. A. MOREHART, Captain Egg handled the hot corner in big league style. He was a good base runner, a hard hitter and possessed a good knowledge of baseball. This was Egg’s last year with the Kangaroos as a player. Soon after he got his degree in June he joined the Flint, Michigan, club. He will probably make the shig show in a few Page One Hundred Tu'entg-Txco J. H. LAIN Doc handled the initial bag in great style for his first year on the club. He has a good baseball head on him and before he finishes his four years he will be one of the best first sackers in the state. He was not an overly strong hitter but generally came across with a bingle in the pinches. P. M. ROBINSON Pinkie, a port! dder, won his letter as a relief ' pitcher. He was a su bstitute twirler on the ?, and before that was a membe r of the Poucher club. iceived h is degree year and the midg greatly i nissed. C. LITTLEJOHN Carlisle was probably the best twirler in the association. Besides this he was the heaviest hitter on the club and possessed a good knowl- edge of baseball. He has three more seasons of college baseball before him and after that he can easily make the big leagues. His long drive at T. C. U. will be long remembered. Page One Hundred Twenty-Tlu W. B. CHAPMAN Chapo started his baseball career in Austin College with the Scrubs. He became too fast for their company, however, and was shifted to the Varsity team in 1921. He was one of the best hitters on the club and field- ed the ball nicely. He graduated last June. STUART HURST Swede was the general utility man of the club as well as a safe hitter. He was one of the best catchers in Texas College baseball and an average out- fielder. He played his fourth and last year last season. He graduated in June. J. O. MORGAN Dell alternated in the box and outfield the greater part of the season. He was a hard working outfielder who possessed a wicked bat. He was one of the safest hitters on the team. He did not lose a single game in the box. Morgan is an all around baseball player. He was with the team this year. One Hundred Ti W. STEVENS Bill made his first appearance on the Kan- garoo team this year. He was a very eratic player; at times he would hit the ball out of the lot and field any thing that came near him, hut was a little wild. He may overcome the faults with practice and make a consistent player. W. C. STEWART Griping had all of the speed in the world but he was not able to obtain control be- fore the season ended. If he can overcome this fault he will be one of the best moundsmen in the state. This was his first year with the club. H. L. HOLLIS Hub handled second base well and was a mean man with the stick. He was a consistent player and for two years one of the best sec- ond basemen in the state. Hub was not eli- gible this season on account of his summer baseball. He has a bright baseball future be- fore him. His sensational catch in the Trin- ity game will be remembered for days to come. Page One Hundred Twenty-Fir I,. H. MONZINGO “Monty,” a three-year veteran, was the first string catcher. He handled himself well in all departments of the game. He had the best peg in the state. Just as soon as the season was over “Monty” left for the Pittsburg Club whence he was farmed out to the Flint Michi- gan Club for the remainder of the season. “Monty” made one of the best captains Austin has ever had. H. L. LOW RANCE Henry Lee has been a member of the Aus- tin College baseball team for the past four years. He has always been one of the neatest outfielders in the association. He very seldom missed a fly ball, but was a trifle weak with the stick. He graduated last year, conse- quently he was not with this year's team. Hundred Tice Baseball—1922, st successful THE baseball season of 1922 was on that the Kangaroos have enjoyed in son and gold ball tossers under the able coaching oi Charlie Robertson and later Coach Rainey developed into one of the most formidable machines in the state. Despite the fact that cold weather hindered the Kangaroos greatly in their pre-season training, they got off to a good start by defeating Trinity in the opening game of the season. The story of that game is too much like stealing a chapter out of the life of one Carlisle Littlejohn so we will refrain from the details at this time. Suffice to say that during the course of the evening’s festivities seventeen ambitious Tigers dined sumptouslv on large slices of atmosphere while swing- ing at the elusive apple. At the end of the affair it didn’t take any assisted by Morgan. After the Tigers had been tamed and intimi- dated to such an extent that they had to employ a chaperon, Rob- ertson’s proteges invaded Ft. Worth to meet McKnight’s Horned ball ragged support on the part of their team mates cost the Kan- garoos both games. In the first contest Littlejohn hit one for the to the Frogs the Kangaroos set out for Brownwood where they met the Daniel Baker Hill Billies. In the first game Morgan and Stewart lost a decision to the umpire and in the second Littlejohn won out in a pitcher’s battle. With a fifty-fifty break behind in their games with the Hill-Billies the Kangaroos next encountered the Simmons Cowboys. In both of these games Austin team showed the same characteristics which marked them throughout the year, namely, good pitching and mediocre defensive work. In the last game the Kangaroos hit Johnson of Simmons hard, while Littlejohn applied the white wash liberally. After dividing a pair with the Cowboys the Kangaroos returned to their home stamping grounds where they met San Marcos Normal. In the first game Littlejohn and Kallina hooked up in a pitcher’s battle with the Kangaroo him. With a couple of wins in their pouch the Kangaroos hit the road. At Georgetown they stopped long enough to split a couple with the Pirates, and then they hopped off for Austin. At the Texas capitol Jupe Pluvious took a hand and saved the Longhorns an embarrasing situation. After their layoff at Austin, Rainey and his charges proceeded to San Marcos, where they met the Normalites in two games. In accordance with the precedent which they had established the Kangaroos proceeded to divide the bill with the Normalites. In the first game Morgan pitched well and by Montzingo, he beat the Normalites out 4 to 2. In the final game the Kangaroos lead by a score of 6 to 3 until the ninth inning home where they played the Howard Payne Yellowjackets in the final game of the season. Morgan for the Kangaroos pitched mas- terly ball, holding the Yellowjackets in check at all stages of the While the Kangaroos failed to annex the championship they pro- duced a club which was one of the best in the state. • Ii' Baseball 1923 The 1923 baseball team has been a Jack-in-the-Box from every standpoint. At times it has played unbeatable ball, and at times it has qualified as a roly holy team. To date the team has acquitted itself creditably especially when one considers the fact that it is constructed out of practically new material. Under the tutorage of Morehart and Robertson the club played good ball, especially against Freeland’s Mustangs, but displayed a ten- dency to take to the air at times. This has been especially true of the infield, and as yet Coach Cawthon has not succeeded in removing the difficulty entirely. However, as the team begins to round into mid-season form this fault should gradually disappear and with the brand of pitching which a team may expect from such a trio as Morgan, Littlejohn and Whitson, they will be able to spread misery indiscriminately. Page One Hundred Twenty-Nine Bog Yeager and R. A. Johnson, Austin’s entries in the T. I. A. A. meet at Fort Worth last year. They won both doubles and singles. Both men did excellent work, losing only one set through- out the singles. They were runners up in the singles by not draw- ing so as to play against each other. Page One Hundred Thirty Tennis Association Page One Hundred Thirty-One Wrestling Due to a misunderstanding in regard to a contract wrestling was introduced into Austin College as an inter-collegiate sport this year. Despite the fact that most of the men were inexperienced and had practically no training their showing against State Uni- versity was worthy of the traditions of Austin College athletics. Greenup, Morgan, Miller, Crawford, will all be with us next year, and Austin may be counted upon to make the going rough in the mat sport. As a branch of athletics it is too often overlooked and should receive the best of support from the student body. THE TEAM Greenup, Capt. Miller, W. O. Lauderdale Creighton Crawford, Molly Morgan, J. O. Weight 125 135 145 158 175 - 175 and above Hundred Thirty-Two Class Athletics EACH year there are conducted in Austin College a number of inter-rural athletic contests between the several classes. These contests bring about a two-fold benefit; they strength- en class spirit and add to the upbuilding of athletics, both in regard to the spirit and teams. In the past the contests have been of the greatest interest and those which were held during the year 1922-23 proved to be no exception to the rule. Football as usual headed the list and it was here probably that the greatest amount of enthusiasm was centered. In the open- ing game the Seniors and Juniors went down before the Sophmores lenged by the Freshmen, who evened old grudges with the Sophs girls in basketball and later in tennis. In track the Freshmen car- ried off the honors, Parker of the Freshmen achieving a somewhat enviable record with twenty-four points. One of the features of the meet was the fact that through the co-operation of Sherman student body. As yet baseball remains an unknown quantity but it is an even bet that class enthusiasm will be aroused to highest pitch in all the contests of the national game. Considered as a whole class athletics for the year 1922-23 have been of the highest type of sportsmanship and quality and contributed in a very large measure both to the success of the past year and to the future greatness of Austin College. Page One Hundred Thirty-Three P. W. C AWT HON Coach When it became known that Coach Pena would not return next year there was a feeling of disappointment on the part of the student body. After a period of over a month during which the entire state was combed to find a man to direct the athletic for- tunes of the Kangaroos, P. W. Cawthon was siened. Pete comes to us from Terrill Prep, where he achieved an enviable reputation, and it is needless to say that Austin College was most fortunate to secure him. Cawthon, was signed for a period of three years, which marks a distinct step forward in the athletic policy of this school. At present everything seems to point to the greatest athletic season Austin has ever experienced for the next year, and under the capable leadership of Cawthon there is no reason why our dreams should not be realized. Fifteen for Coach. Page Hundred Thirty-Four Our National Heritage In speaking of this subject I shall not mention those things which we commonly conceive to be our national heritages. I shall not dwell on the fact that we inherit from our fathers a continent which above all others may be called great. Although its shores are buffeted by the billows of the surging Atlantic even while they are caressed by the whispering swells of the gentle Pacific; although between these extremes the snowy Rockies tower above the green vastness of rolling plains, fretted with silvery streams which evermore sweep to the sea—yet this is not our heritage. And I pass by the inspiring thought of our national resources. What though we extort from the deep treasures of our Mother Earth her secreted wealth of mineral, coal, and oil; what though we amass from forest, field, and stream, the resources of a virgin land to such an extent that the wealth of the world flows unto us, until we sur- pass Croesus of old—yet gold is but gold, it is not our national heritage. Nor shall I touch upon our material civilization. It is a marvelous achievement. This we have a right to magnify. One may very properly pause in meditation upon its vasteness its com- plexity the swiftness of its thought and motion, its powers for good or for evil, but I shall not do so, for skyscrapers and radio- phones are not our heritage. We do well to have clearly in mind that these and kindred objects are not fundamental. They are, each of them, only the result, the product, the fruit of our inheri- Page One Hundred Thirty-Five to solve the fundamental queries of his inmost being. For this reason it has endured. Men have been willing to forego all else but this. Even when in time it became contaminated with half truths, it persisted until it dispersed the clouds of ignorance and superstition shrouding the souls of men with the light of its own inherent glory. The swirling sands of the Sahara will errode o’ertake and dispossess man of this ideal. cause of this man has surveyed the world and found it good to sornod as the rose. It has ennobled man, disenthralled woman, and exalted the child in the midst.

H. Thompson Prize At the beginning of the school year, in 1920, the announcement was made that Mr. H. H. Thompson had offered a cash prize of two hundred and fifty dollars, to be given to the man who was adjudged the best all round man in Austin College. The attributes on which such a decision was to be made were character, athletics, scholarship, and leadership, each of which was to be considered of equal worth. All men were to be nomi- nated by the student body and any man receiving as many as fifteen votes is considered eligible for the prize. Afterward the final selection was to be made by a committee consisting of the president of the college, the dean of the faculty, the coach, one member of each college class, the secretary of the Y. M. C. A. and one other member of the faculty In 1921 the prize w'as w’on by Mr. Jay Dee Miller, and for 1922 Mr. R. A. Morehart was chosen as the best all round man in school. More- hart, who was one of the most popular men in school during his four year stay, was one of the outstanding athletes of the state. It is hardly neces- sary to call attention to the fact that “Egg” is a letter man, and achieved one of the most brillant records in baseball and football, that it has been the fortune of any athlete to enjoy. In addition to his athletic qualities Morehart is a real man, from every standpoint and a leader of remarkable ability. Besides the innumerable activities in which Annie was engaged, he worked his way through school and achieved a high record of scholar- ship. Again, gentlemen, let us pay our tribute to Morehart, a friend, a gentleman, and an athlete. Page One Hundred Thirty-Nir Debating Council The Senior Class has watched with much pleasure the gradu- ally increasing interest on the part of the student body in debat- ing which has been observed during their four years sojourn in Austin College. Two reasons may be assigned for this interest; first, the work of the Debating Council organized last year; and The Debating Council is composed of the presidents of the men, and the faculty committee on literary societies. The inter- class and inter-collegiate debating interests of Austin College are Immediately after the Christmas holidays the Council, at the call of the President, Mr. George Lando, formulated plans for an inter-class debate in order that the inter-collegiate debaters might be selected from the contestants. Each class chose four represen- tatives, and from the number Rowe Newman, W. H. Fuller, D. E. Temple, and C. R. Eastham were selected to represent the College. This year three inter-collegiate debates have been held, one with the Oklahoma Baptist University, April 9th and the 21st. another with Howard Payne, the 20th of May, and the third with Tulsa University. May 22nd. The subject for debate was, Re- solved: That the United States should grant complete indepen- dence to the Philippine Islands within five years.
