Head ended his career as coach and athletic director at Austin College with the close of the 1934-35 season. Coach Head is a native of Sherman and a former Kangaroo football and track star. He was appointed head coach after an undefeated season as Freshman coach in 1933-34. Line Coach Bill Pierce has been appointed head coach for the 1935- 36 season. He is a graduate of Notre Dame, and in 1933 coached the line for the Conference Champion St. Edwards team. Freshman Coaches Wiley Grinnell and Hack Luck assisted Coaches Head and Pierce with the 1938 men, having a successful season both in football and basketball. Both are leaving the institution after this year. YELL LEADERS So hail to old Austin, the Crimson and Gold! Long may her colors fly! Fight, Oh ye sons and ye daughters true, The spirit must not die. So hail to old Austin, the Crimson and Gold! What care we for the rest! We’ll do or we’ll die for old Austin, The school that we love best. KANGAROO HOP Over hill, over plain, you can hear the loud refrain, When the Kangaroos come hoppin’ along! Let it ring, let it shine, We will keep a steady line When the Kangaroos come hoppin’ along! So it’s Hey, Hey, He, the Crimson and Gold for me! Shout out its praises loud and strong; Rah! Rah! Where’er you go, you will always know, When the Kangaroos come hoppin’ along! Front Row: Stephens, Breedlove, Grinnell, Shelton (President), Buchanan, Prather. Middle Row: Young, Gammill, Moyer, Crook, Barnes, St. Johns, Mason (Secretary). Back Row: Winfrey, Caudle, Harper, Hodges, Collins (Vice-President), Hardin, Purdue, Lacy, Crouch. “A” ASSOCIATION The “A” Association is composed of men who have earned a varsity letter in one or more of the major sports. It is composed largely of foot- ball men, but lettermen in basketball, tennis, and track are eligible for membership. Membership is not compulsory to lettermen. The Kangaroos opened the 1934 season with a home game with the Durant Savages, winning 7-6 after a long, hard fight. The following Saturday, however, the A. C. gridders traveled to Dallas to be trampled by Southern Methodist University’s galloping Mustangs 33-0. In spite of the lop-sided score the Kangaroos made a creditable showing and Dallas fans and sportswriters voted A1 St. John, Austin College half- back, the outstanding man on the field that day. Other outstanding Kangaroo gridders were Kling, Crouch, Buchanan, and Shelton. Faulkenberry tackle Collins tackle manager Gammill half Stephens guard The following week the Kangaroos traveled to Abilene to meet the McMurray Indians. After leading for three quarters, the Kangaroos fell asleep and allowed the Indians to steal the tying touchdown. Final score: 6-6. And the next Friday, at Brownwood, a highly touted Kangaroo eleven was swept off its feet by the determined onslaught of the Daniel Baker Hill Billies. The Kangaroos, favored to win by twenty points, re- turned to Sherman on the short end of a 19-0 score. Clements Barnes half Pardue center Winfrey full Harper center After the Daniel Baker defeat the Kangaroos returned to Sherman for a night game with Howard Payne. The Yellow-Jackets jumped in- to a 7-0 lead early in the game and held it until the fourth quarter when Allen Gammill, playing his first conference game, caught a flat-zone pass from St. John and crossed the goal line standing up. Moyer added the extra point to tie the score. And on November 2, the Southwestern Pirates dropped a bitterly fought contest to the Kangaroos, 6-2. Played on a muddy field, the con- test was not decided until the last few minutes of play when the Kanga- roos chose to give the Pirates a safety rather than risk punting from their own goal line. Prather Shelton Caudle Crouch Crook end half guard full end In the Abilene Christian College game the Kangaroos seemed to find themselves and romped to a 27-6 victory. After a slow first half, the Kangaroos opened a brilliant passing and running attack led by St. John, Crouch, Hodges, Clements, and Buchanan and swept down the field for four touchdowns. Prospects of a victory over Trinity seemed, at that time, exceedingly bright. However, the following Friday St. Edward’s Tigers trampled the Kangaroos 15-13. The score at the half was 15-0, but the Kangaroos came back strong during the last half to score thirteen pointts . guard quarter guard After the creditable last-half showing against St. Edwards the Kangaroos left for Abilene favored to win easily from Hardin-Simmons University. Trailing 7-0 at the half, however, the Kangaroos suddenly went haywire and the Cowboys swept on to the most overwhelming Texas Conference victory of the year, 45-0. Then on November 29, on a muddy field, the light Trinity Univer- sity eleven ran roughshod over the Kangaroos for a 13-0 victory, ending the conference season with the Kangaroos barely out of the cellar po- sition.

Disheartened, near the peak of the Conference race, by the loss of such men as Kling, Goodall, and Lacy, the Kangaroos finished slowly and wound up at the bottom of the heap. The Austin team performed creditably in practically every engagement of the sea- son, however, and will enter next year’s race with a much stronger team. Crook, Hardin, Breedlove, Pardue, Murphy, and Winfrey, all of whom will be back next year, should form the nucleus of a strong 1935- 36 cage squad. Back Row: Coach Bill Pierce, Garrett, Steen, Shelton, Eklund, Newman, Bowe, John- son, Ragsdale, Brown, Perry. Middle Row: Parvin, Gross, Rogers, Rehders, Hampton, Harris. Front Row: Poteet, Farmer, Webb, Bartley. FRESHMAN SQUAD Coached by Bill Pierce, the Freshman squad developed into one of the best first year teams Austin College has ever produced. Playing from two to five games a week, the Freshmen finished the season in fine style, winning a vast majority of their games. Several of these men will make serious bids for varsity positions next year. Left to right: Walker, Murphy, Fincher, Lacy, Captain McDanald. Williams. TENNIS SQUAD, 1934-35 Although not so successful as many of the Austin College teams of past few ye.ars, the 1934-3.5, squad performed creditably and will prob- ably present an improved team on the courts next year. Several matches were played this year with the Durant Savages, Texas Wesley College, Trinity University, and other Texas Conference teams. As the Chromascope goes to press, Captain Eugene McDanald, Tex- as Conference Champion for 1934, is preparing to defend his crown in the 1935 Conference Meet at Georgetown. In all probability he will re- tain the championship which he won last year. POWER HOUSE HARK YE, HARK! MASTERS OF THEIR CRAFT The most famous sword maker of the 16th century was Andrew Ferara, an Italian. Hammering every part of the blade from steel of his own manufacture . .. his swords exist today as masterpieces of his art. When a man makes a product of the finest quality, it is with pardonable pride that he places his name upon it. The maker's imprint, accompanied by tradi- tions of skill and high standards of honest dealings, becomes the customer's guarantee of highest quality and satisfaction. Emulating the old masters of sword making, Southwestern craftsmen put their finest work into every engraving bearing the SWECO imprint. It is your guarantee of painstaking care ... of a superior printing plate. We are proud to proclaim that the engravings in this volume were made by Southwestern craftsmen.

GREER’S STUDIO “The Best That Photography Offers” IllSiiilliiiiiil ilii! 'iJi FOOTBALL SQUAD, 1934 CALENDAR OF EVENTS A B c D E SOCIAL BUG Our society editor, at the request of one of our popular young co-eds, decided to run in this issue of the STOOL PIGEON a photograph of El- mer “The Great” Pardue. Accordingly, we began to worry about the size of the photo which we were to print. Mr. Pardue most earnestly re- quested us to run a photo the size of the square (a). However, consider- ing Mr. Pardue’s relative insignificance, we decided to let Mr. Pardue’s roommate choose the size. “Romeo” Breedlove, the great Elmer's room- mate, chose the size marked (b). It was discovered, however, that Mr. Breedlove had been bribed, so his selection was also rejected. The ques- tion was then left to the men in Luckett Hall who selected size (c). At this, however, the girls in the Co-op demanded the right to have a voice in the matter and they immediately selected size (d). At this time the Good Scholarship Club met and selected size (e), recommending at the same time that a full page picture of Felix the Cat be run in the Chroma- scope. The STOOL PIGEON staff then met and decided to run size (f), but before the Chromascope could go to press the Board of Censors ruled that under no circumstances could a picture of Mr. Pardue appear on any of its pages! We are glad to comply with the ruling of the board. AUTOGRAPHS AUTOGRAPHS
