Coach Hcfley (Hank) Stovall drilled his many inexperienced candidates more than half this period on bare fundamental? as the 1933 season got under way. The team that played the first game of the '33 season was a far different aggregation than that which upset Jennings In the season's finals. 13-0. That a longer nncticc season to drill the Bulldogs was needed was obviously Indicated when the Baton Rouge High loot bail outtlt rose early in the season irom the worst ever produced during Stovall's administration to one of the best sounds put out by our mentor at the campaign's end. The Bulldogs won three games, lost four, ami tied one the past season. Holding tno always formidable Jesuit Blue Jays, state champions, to a 7-0 score and whipping the undefeated and un.M'orcu-on Jennings club to a 13-0 tune, the Green and Gold warriors redeemed themselves from the erratic play exhibited In other games.. The team that went on to win the state grid championship—the Jesuits—came to the Capital City an overwhelming favorite to beat the Bulldogs, who had won from Independence. 19-0. defeated Ponchatoula by a twire 6-0 verdict, and bowed to a scrapping bunch of Morgan City Tigers 12-0 at the Donaldsonvlllc Fair. But the pack of Bulldogs had sharpened their teeth for their bitter rivals, losing by only one touchdowi. and the extra point. With only 4.1 seconds to play la the opening half, and just about 35 yards to go. Eddie Torlbio. all-southern back, skirted left end. knocking off would-be taeklers and eluding them in great style to cross the line Into the promised land. It was Just a bad break that caused our griumon to go down In defeat after holding on tenaciously for almost a half and repulsing the Jays several times within the ten-yard stripe Cold facts pointed to a Jesuit victory by four touchdowns. After the Bulldogs hud played brilliantly against the Jay team, they went to Alexandria, where they were decisively beaten by a hard-blocking Bolton High team led by an all-state fullback. Guy (Cotton) Milner. The Bears beat the Bulldogs with a 26-0. In the sixth game on the Bulldog schedule. Baton Kouge High was tied by an aerial-minded Hammond eleven. 2-2. If It were not for the alertness of the crack Bulldog center. Gayle (Stormy) Monget. who played a fine brand of ball the entire season, our team would have come out on the short end. He blocked a punt behind the Hammond goal line, and the ball was recovered by u Hammond player, to give the Baton Rougear.s an automatic safety. The football game played last season on the Lake Charles gridiron will go down in the Wildcat annals as their hardest-earned victory. The 11-12 Lake Charles triumph wus a moral victory for our team, ns Frank Lewis, fast-stepping quarterback, ran wild. Although the Lake Charles men outweighed the Bulldogs about 10 pounds to a man. the locals were the aggressors on every play and outplayed the Cats the entire game. A highly touted Jennings team, with an unmarred record, came to battle Baton Kouge In Its only day game at home. However, when the visitors started back home they found one defeat and 13 points chalked against them. The Bulldog team that beat Jennings was an aggregation capable of whipping any grid team of the Pelican State, showing Incredible improvement over the play in its Initial contest. At the writing of this story, the Bulldog team of '31 may break all Baton Rouge High football precedent by turning out a championship team, having the orightest outlook in recent years. If the Green and Gold grid-mrn get a break next fall, there Is a strong chance for a championship. The fact that eleven Bulldog letter-men are returning this fall and the line play of the team during the last part of the 1933 season are the reasons for this optimistic remark. The following are the Bulldogs who will be missed next fall: Captain Kenner Day. half and quarterback: Alternate-Captain Frank Lewis, quarter and halfback: Albert Dutsch. tackle: Karl Bomar. halfback; David Johnston, fullback; James Thompson, tackle: Edwin Ficg. halfback: Howard Rube, tackle: and Lyle Elliot, tackle. Lettermen reporting lor football this fall will be Elmer Lee Harrison, end; AI Beckncr. tackle; D.

The local boys were defeated in the finals by the rangy Wool Market team, but the Mlssissipplans were later disqualified for using an ineligible man. Due to the loss of Hagler Sanchez, flashy guard, a Bulldog quintet that was given an excellent chance to win a state championship went down in defeat in the fust round of the district tourney. Sanchez's loss came too late in the reason to train another man to replace him In the well-oiled precision of the winning squad. The lettermen: Henry Falconer, forward, was the team's high scorer and winner of the gold basketball presented each year lor the best percentage of foul goals made in games. Henry was also high scorer in the Covington meet, ringing up 71 points. Bob Hero” Miller, forward, played steadily all season, ringing in his share of goals and playing fine defensive ball. Woodrow Ding Dong Dumas also played a well-balanced ame at center, outstanding In no particular phase, but turning in good ball all around. Hagler Sanchez, guard, was thought by many to be the best defensive player on the squad, and was the runner-up to Falconer for high scoring honors. Sanchez s Injury late in the season was believed by many to be the cause of the Bulldogs' not winning the state crown. Elton Toble Graves, guard, did not contribute much toward the scoring end of the game, tut helped win ball games by keeping the opposition from dropping the ball In the basket. Lee Lockwood. Olvern Thompson, and Kmlle Xoto were reserves who might be called upon at any moment to do their part In giving the regulars a lest. Noto was the winner of the silver basketball for the best percentage of foul goals made In practice. Four men will be lost: Sanchez. Graves, and Falconer will graduate, while Dumas has Joined the U. S. navy K. McDonald. Pete Wade, and Don Lynch are three conscientious reserves who will be assets to the I93f varsity. BULLDOGS. ttSU; OPPONENTS. 3P3. WON. 14: LOST 3. .

They also captured the heavyweight crown In that district. 20 ot their points being in the mammoth division. Showing surprising skill tor a first year team, the local scrappers lied Bolton and Luicher tor second place in the state tournament. They also tied Neville High ot Monroe for the heavyweight crown, but were given the trophy for having the heaviest man. The lettermen: Jules ■•Peanut” Rosenthal. 90 pound , was the regular representative for the entire season. He was eliminated in the district tourney. Albert Michael was an almost sure point-winner in every meet. He was second In the Southeastern Louisiana tourney and won third in the state mlxup. Len •'Teedv” Harrell. 105 pounds, fought Ills way to a second in the district meet, but was eliminated in the first round of the state duel. Mike Bar bat o. 112 pounds, earned his letter by turning in a few good tights, though he was late getting started. He was eliminated in the district fights. Vince Vlcaro was another almost sure victor in the 118-pound class. He won a district championship, but lost in the first round of the state meet. J. L. Golson. 126 pounds, used a clever left to tab his way into a district third and a state second. J. D. Addison. 135 pounds, won a second place in the sectional scraps and a third In the state fracas. Clold Thibodeaux. 145 pounds, gained a second place In the district and a fourth at the state. Rimer Lee Pineapple” Harrison. 155 pounds, was the team's heaviest hitter. He slugged his way to a second place In the district meet, but was a victim of a lucky punch in tnc first round of the state tourney. Elton “Toble Graves. 165 pounds, won first place in the district mixup and fourth In the slate. Gayle Stormy” Mongol, 175 pounds, ranks with J. L. Golson as the team’s best boxers. Gayle Jabbed his way to a district championship and came back to win a second place In the state tournament. Carroll Bozeman, unlimited class, won only a third in the district meet, but came back to gather in the Bulldogs’ only state championship. K. D. ’’Red” Nihert. 118 pounds, was a speedy reserve who accounted for quite a few points In dual meets and pul on many good exhibitions. Only three of this car’s lcttcrrr.cn will be lost to the squad. Toble Graves and J. L. Golson will graduate, while the 20-year age limit will bar J. L . Addison from further composition. At the end of the season Elmer Lee Harrison was elected honorary captain for the 1934 season. Gayle Mon get was voted alternate captain. BULLDOGS 24: RESERVE ...

TEAM The Bulldog cinder path followers never expected a State championship track team when the large group of small aspirants stepped on the cinders for the first time In December. With only tour lettermen, an Inexperienced track squad won the I-afayette relays with 2� point . Upon returning from the relay carnival, they swept through a triangular meet with Istrouma and Baker, to win with 62 points. The Green and Gold spikemen were prepared for the Stnte Rally after winning duel meets with Bolton ('33 State champs) and the Jesuits, with sweeping victories. They regained the State title by amassing 51 points, which was a record number of points. Captain Kenner Day. capable and worthy, came back after an aliACk of malaria to lead his team-mates to the State championship. He won the pole vault, took third In the HO. and ran anchor man on the record-breaking mile relay team. Alternate Captain Jim Martin was a great asset toward the team's morale and training. He won the half-mile and mile In dual meets and won the half-mile In the State rally. Gene Davis won the 100 and 200 in all dual mect3, and broke Into excellent competition and won second in the 100 and second in the 220 In the State rally. Karl Bomar came through throughout the season to win the Javelin and broad Jump. He brought in ten points in the State rally. Jumping 22 feet 6 Inches and throwing the Javelin 160 feet. Frank Lewis always was a 10-polnt winner and In the State rally he climaxed his high school career by being a member of the record-breaking mile relay team. Sidney Cowart, hop. step and Jumper, was the kind of a competitor who Jumped two feet better than he ever did In the State rally to win his event. J. C. Phillippc was a consistent winner in the high Jump He Jumped several Inches over his head throughout the season. Mack Avants did the team's shot-putting. He had to compete with the best high school shot-potters thal have ever been in the State. B. W. Wax ran second only to Frank Lewis In the hurdles and was a member of the record-breaking mile relay team. Frank O'Neal threw the discus farther than any other B. R. H. S. man has ever done. He took third place In the State rally. Larry Landry ran the 440 along with X. Day and was a member of the record-breaking mile relay team. Bob Martin ran the half-mile along with his brother Jim and was always ready to run on the mile relay-team. Tootsie Denny ran the sprints along with Davis and high Jumped with Thillippe. He was a member of the U0 relay team that won first In the Lafayette relays. Emile Noto was a member of the 140 relay team and ended the season as a quarter-miler. He was anchor man for the sprint relay at I-afayette. Ashby Cobb was another member of the sprint relay team and ran the 100 and 220 with Davis against Jesuits. Krnest Spro’.es was an understudy for Captain Day In the pole vault and hop. step and Jumped second to Cowart He was nn 11-foot pole-vaulter. Dewey Holden Is one of the best examples of what perseverance and determination will do. With no native ability, he has made the grade. The lettermen who have represented the Green and Gold for their last time are: Captain Kenner Day. Jim Martin. Karl Bomar. Frank Lewis. Dewey Holden. Earnest Sproles. Ashby Cobb, Mack Avants and Larry Landry. The 1034 Fricassee The 1934 Fricassee The 1934 Fricassee 5= SCRUB FOOTBALL TEAM PROUD PUPS: Coach ••Fuzzy” Brown’s 1933 scrub football team was no exception to the long line of champion scrub teams. It was composed mostly of boys who had never before played organized football. However, this was made up for by their tenacious ana willing spirit. They upheld the annual tradition of all the Bullpup elevens by defeating the Bolton Cubs from Alexandria. Louisiana, by a score of 7 to 0. During their season they defeated the Junior High School twice. St. Francisville once, and bowed only to the strong and more powerful State Deaf Institute in one game. The scrub material from 1933 should be a great asset to the 1934 Bulldog varsity. MILE RELAY TEAM The most outstanding feature of the State rally was the breaking of the mile relay record on a slow, wet track. Having drawn the fifth lane in which to exchange the baton, the Bulldogs were put to an extra disadvantage. However, the team composed of Larry Landry-. B. W. Wax. Frank Lewis and Kenner Day were not to be stopped by the bad breaks. They ran second to Istrouma until Captain Day took the baton, on even terms with the Indian anchor man. The final lap was a thriller, with Kenner breasting the tape many yards ahead of the held for a new State record of 3 32.1. bettering the old record by a full second. Wesley Barnett Wesley In a very fast and accurate player, whose only fault is a tendency to become a little erratic under heavy competition. Ho lias been one of the best tennis players in tho State for the past two years, and a bright future Is predicted for him next year. He was runner-up in the singles division at the rally this year. Together. Wesley and Janice annexed the doubles crown at the rally this year. TENNIS CHAMPS” Janice Thonssln An extremely steady player, whoso deadliest weapon Is a fast and accurate backhand, Janice has been Baton Rouge H:gh's star girl tennis player for the past three years. For the past two years she has been runner-up for the state singles title. IIHUWIIHO T?

We’re not going to tell you to write it fifty times, but we arc going to tell you to watch its moral. For in these days of tempting bargains, it’s very easy to go wrong. Continuing our preachment . . . Quality is never cheap. True, it need not be high-priced, either, hot when you see price-tags that seem incredibly low . . . then beware. That is the lime to examine the fabric ... to look closely at the workmanship. But if you’d rather shop where all of these things are done for you bv experts . . . here you’ll always find guaranteed quality and the lowest of prices.
