Jimmie Thomasson, who headed the staff capably most of the year, was forced to leave school in the early spring on account of illness. During his absence David Brandt, the manager, bore the brunt of the work, and was assisted by Algie Brown, who edited the final issue.

Phelps Bryant Davidson All athletic games, exhibitions, and contests at Centenary are under the direction of the faculty, acting through its Athletic Committee. This com- mittee is composed of seven members: four mem- bers of the faculty, the President, the Dean, and the S ecretary of the Faculty being ex-ofncio mem- bers. Upon the Council falls the task of arrang- ing athletic schedules, passing on the eligibility of players, making scholastic requirements, employ- ing coaches, and attending to numerous other duties. The rules of the Southern Intercollegiate Ath- letic Association, of which Centenary is a member, govern the eligibility of athletes. 107 HOMER H. NORTON Director of Athletics Since coming to Centenary College eleven years ago, Coach Homer H. Norton has with each succeeding year endeared himself to students of the school as well as won praise for the school throughout the country by the excellent records of his football teams. Coach Norton became head football coach in 1926, and since then Cen- tenary College has enjoyed an envious position in football circles. His teams have repeatedly conquered teams of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association, Southwest Conference, and only last season his charges were victorious over one of the Big Ten teams. Coach Norton drew the spot- light on himself and Centenary College by winning nineteen consecutive games from 1926 to 1928, which included a season without a defeat. He will ever be remembered for his efforts in building up a real school spirit and a greater Centenary College. 108 J l 193! Coaches Curtis Parker Assistant Coach and Basketball Coacii Fred Willis Freshman Coach Coach Curtis Parker is the man who backs up every football movement made at Centenary College, as assistant var- sity coach. His efforts, which are time- ly and needed, have been felt in the past few seasons while he has been working with the varsity, as well as the years past when he was coach of the freshman teams. Much could be said of his success as basketball coach also, but little is neces- sary. He is the leader of a champion- ship team. Fred Willis served his first year on the coaching staff at Centenary the past year and proved himself to be a capable leader. As coach of the freshman team Willis has a very important position, for the task of developing future Gentlemen falls upon his shoulders. Although we missed him in the line-up as a player, we are glad to have him back as a mem- ber of the coaching staff, and hope that he remains with us. 109 Cheer Leaders Evelyn Norton Annie Mae Pgsey Jack Rawles Athletic Assistant Letcher Marsaus, Trainer no L W f SMjF Brown Quarterback, Captain BlEDEN ' HARN Guard, Line Captain A JResiraie ©f the Season A truly great season in every respect was the record of the 1930 fight- ing Centenary Gentlemen. The total of eight victories, one tie, and one defeat is the accounting for the ten-game schedule. High lights of the season were the 20-12 defeat of the University of Iowa, a member of the Big Ten; the great uphill fight of the Maroon and White against an equally great Baylor team; victory over the University of Arkansas on Thanksgiving day; the scoreless tie with the University of Texas, the Southwest Conference champions, played in Austin. The lone defeat came from an inspired and scrapping Texas A. M. 1 Younger, Center Welsh, Fullback Crowley, Tackle team on Kyle Field when they rose to great heights to spoil Centenary ' s perfect record. Centenary can justly feel proud of her football team, which has played some really great American teams. During the past eleven years the Cen- tenary football teams have won 81 per cent of their games. In the 1930 season Centenary seemed able to muster strength that was unseen. In every contest except one they were able to avoid a record of defeat. None of the games were won by large scores, but there was always present that fighting, determined spirit which keeps a team ahead. That good ole Centenary line showed to advantage on the defense, and with the help of the secondary her goal line was crossed only five times during the season. •• Johnson, Guard Hilton, Tackle Finch, Half hack CENTENARY, 27; HENDRIX-HENDERSON, Hendrix-Henderson, sister Methodist school of Arkansas, helped the Gentlemen usher in the 1930 campaign under the stars at Biedenhard Baseball Park. It was in this first game that the clever open-field running and speed of Murff and Nolan began to show what was to be expected of these rabbits in the later games. Hendrix-Henderson played a good ball game, but they were not equal to stopping the Gents ' offense. CENTENARY, 0; UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS, Texas, Southwest Conference champions, held the Gents to a scoreless tie in a game that was played on a rain-soaked field with a heavy down- pour falling during most of the game. During the last half the play was in Texas territory entirely. Centenary passed up a great chance to win Balter, Guard Lee, End Ruyle, Halfback the game when, in the closing minutes of play, one of the backs dropped a perfect pass on the three-yard line. The entire line of the Gents worked smoothly and was able to turn back the thrusts of Shelley, Koy, Stafford, and the other good Texas backs. Younger ' s defensive work and his pass- ing of the heavy water-soaked ball was perfect. Taylor ' s work at both end and tackle was outstanding. CENTENARY, 19; IOWA, 12 Outsmarted and defeated is to quote a mid-Western sports editor about the Centenary-Iowa game. The Maroon and White showed the Hawkeyes a great passing team, with Captain Brown and Cameron doing the passing and Murff and Pattison on the receiving end. Nolan starred with his sweeping end runs until late in the game, when he was forced out Pattison, End B. Cameron, Halfback pas ? ! -. — . s _, Oliphant, Tackle with injuries. Biedenharn and Johnson were towers of strength in the line. Brown and Cameron displayed a superior brand of punting which was a great asset. Cameron also showed his worth as a blocking back until forced from the game. The slashing offensive drives of Iowa were the hardest the Gents had to face. The Big Ten team had one of the best teams Centenary played during the season. Jensvold played a great game in the backneld for Iowa. CENTENARY, 19; STETSON, Holding the Gents scoreless for the first fifty-three minutes of play, Stetson won the respect of the football fans of Shreveport. During the closing minutes of play, the always-thinking Captain Brown had to use the Gents ' famous lateral passes, with Murff and Nolan on the receiving end, Murff, Halfback MORAN, End Taylor, Tackle to score. Crowley and Hilton, tackles, showed to advantage on the de- fense, as did Younger at center position. Womack did some good passing in this game. CENTENARY, 7; BAYLOR, 2 The game that they are still talking about, and without a doubt the best ever played at the Fair Grounds Stadium. Baylor, with the famous Jake Wilson, Koch, Paradeaux and others, made two points, which was the result of a safety early in the game. From this time on it looked like a Baylor victory, until a nice return of a punt by Murff and a brilliant run by Brown put the ball in scoring distance. Then it was Brown to Murff, another well- executed pass — a touchdown — a well-earned victory, against a strong and worthy opponent. Osborne, End Singleton, Center Allums, End Singleton, who relieved Younger at center, played a good game; John- son showed up exceptionally well in the opposition which he gave the famous Koch. Oliphant played a great game at the defensive tackle. In this game Lee and Nolan received injuries which kept them out until the end of the season. CENTENARY, 6; TEXAS A. M., 7 Texas A. M. had the honor of being the only team in six different conferences to defeat the Gents during the 1930 campaign. Centenary played the Aggies on Kyle Field just after the Baylor game. Without at- tempting to take any credit away from the great game the Farmers played, they found the Gentlemen in a crippled condition, with Nolan and Lee completely out of the game, Welsh and others well-battered and in such ,. y. Thompson. Tackle Guice, Halfback W. Cameron 7 , Quarterback condition that they were of little value to the team. In the eyes of the Centenary fans who attended the game the bright spot of the game was a return of a punt the length of the field by Murff. A special train carried the student body and the Shreveport fans to this game. This year Centenary will meet A. M. at the Louisiana State Fair, and the entire Cadet Corps of A. M. will probably accompany the team. CENTENARY, 19; OKLAHOMA TEACHERS, The Oklahoma Teachers brought another good passing team to Shreve- port, but found the Gents ' pass defense working to perfection. Pattison ' s offensive work was pleasing. The blocking of Welsh and Cameron in the backfield was responsible for the success of the Gents ' running plays. Barber, End «t ■m.jjt jr % McEi.reath, End Wilson, Guard CENTENARY, 20; HENDERSON, 7 Getting sweet revenge for the ' 29 scoreless tie played in a sea of mud, after a bad start, in which the Henderson Teachers intercepted a pass for a touchdown, the Gents then ran roughshod over the Reddies on another rain- soaked field. Captain Brown played his usual great game, and his use of plays was little less than perfection. Centenary ' s tackling was deadly. After the first few minutes the offense worked mechanically. CENTENARY, 14; L. P. I., On November 22nd, Centenary and Tech met for the first time in Rus- ton. This was the greatest attraction that the Ruston fans had ever had at home, and the largest crowd ever to attend a game in the North Louisiana town was present to see the Bulldogs take a hard defeat. The Gentlemen Sherman, Guard Ames. Center 1 Haynes, Tackle went into the game with their minds on their Thanksgiving game with the University of Arkansas; the result was a case of over-confidence, the great ghost of all football teams. The Ruston crew waged the type of battle for which they are famous when meeting Centenary athletic teams. Osborne and Pattison played good all-round games at the end positions. Baker for Tech played a great game. CENTENARY, 7; ARKANSAS, 6 This game was mixed with proudness of victory and with sadness over the loss of nine men through graduation. There was just reason for the proudness, as this was the first victory for Centenary over Arkansas, and the teams had met on two previous occasions. Zechiedrich, Tackle Edwards, Halfback Hunter, Center A colorful Thanksgiving crowd saw the Gents in their first victory over the Razorbacks. Arkansas was held scoreless until the last few seconds of play, when Kyle, brilliant back for the visitors, caught a long pass for his team ' s six points. The Gents scored on two well-executed plays: First, Brown flipped a short pass to MurfF to put the ball in the middle of the field; second, Ben Cameron, stepping out of his role of a blocking back, took a pass from the center, side-stepped, stiff-armed, and out-sprinted the entire Arkansas team for a touchdown. Bill Cameron, with his unerring left foot, won the game with a perfect placement for the extra point. Welsh at fullback position did good work as well as Osborne at an end position. This victory meant the end of the football careers for Captain Brown, Jimmie Welsh, Tim Moran, Dan Finch, Cecil Crowley, Zehntner Bieden- harn, Fred Hilton, Tommie Younger, and Sid Baiter. V 1 1 Stamps, Guard King, Center H. Cameron, £ i PROSPECTUS The 1931 schedule of the Centenary Gentlemen includes games with teams from four different conferences.

Freshnnae Football. 1930 The Centenary Junior Gents opened their campaign with a runaway over El Dorado Junior College. Following this game they defeated Marshall Junior College, 27-6. Then they smothered L. P. I. Freshmen, 62-0. In a return game with Mar- shall College they were again victors. Lon Morris Junior College, of Jacksonville, Texas, kept the Freshmen from having a perfect record, when they came out on the long end of a 19-6 score. The 1930 Freshman team was one of the best in the history of the school, and they are sending up to the varsity several boys who should help the Gents with their 1 93 1 schedule. 1931 Frosh Schedule El Dorado Junior College At Shreveport Lon Morris Junior College At Shreveport Jefferson University At Dallas College of Marshall At Marshall 124 BASKETBALL. tint Crowley, Forward, Captain Nolan, Forward Basketball The hardest schedule of any basketball team in America is what faced the Gents basketeers at the start of the 1930-31 campaign. There were only eight days in which to get the team in shape for the first game, which was with the University of Texas. In the first of the two games played at Austin the Gentlemen were victorious, but by a score of only two points. The second game was a different story. The Longhorns received the worst beating they ever took on their home floor. Failure to make a fair percentage of their shots at College Station cost the Centenary crew two games against Texas A. and M. Southwestern Institute of LaFayette, Louisiana, S. I. A. A. champions for ' 29- ' 30, were easily defeated in a two-game series on the Coliseum 126 G Womack, Guard MORAN. Guard Court. Louisiana Normal split even in a couple of games, and Tech won their first basketball game from Centenary in three years when they took the third of a four- game series. The Gentlemen made a Middle Western trip covering 2500 miles, playing some of the best basketball teams in that section. Games were played with the following teams: Two games with Union at Jackson, Tenn. ; Carbondale at Carbondale, III.; St. Louis at St. Louis, Mo. ; Illinois Wesleyan at Bloomington, 111. ; Loyola at Chicago, 111.; De Paul University at Chicago; Indiana State Teachers at Terre Haute, Ind.; Butler University at Indianapolis, Ind.; Oakland City College at Oakland City, Ind. While the Gentlemen won only two out of the ten games played, the barnstormers played some good games and lost four of the eight by scores of one to four points. This is good considering the fact that they had to hop across the country in a bus every day, playing on foreign courts, a different style of play every night, and having to make a daily change in their defense and offense. Captain Crowley and his men were very complimentary on the treatment received from their Mid-Western oppo- nents and the officials. The team received some very valuable playing experience which helped them in later games. Winning the S. I. A. A. tournament at Jackson, Miss., gave the Gentlemen the championship of their own conference. Centenary played great basketball to win the tournament, and were without a doubt the cleverest passing team at Jackson. For this the school received a beautiful full size silver basketball suitably engraved, and each player was awarded a solid gold medal. Johnson was chosen all-S. I. A. A. forward, and Moran was also chosen at a guard position on the tournament team. One feature of the four games played in the tournament was that the Gentlemen were never behind. This was verv com- 127 Haynes, Guard McElreath, Forward plimentary for their defense, and in the championship game Louisiana Normal failed to get a shot at the basket the first eight minutes of play. Dan Finch, Cecil Crowley, Blanchard Johnson, Earl Nolan, Bailey McElreath, and Tim Moran all played great basketball. The teams defeated in the tournament were: Union University , Western Kentucky, Birmingham-Southern, and Louisiana Normal. Crowley, Captain, Senior, Guard, Center. Cecil was used at the center position on the tip-off and dropped back to guard where his services were invaluable. A great passer, good man to take the ball off the backboard, and a great leader, who led his team to their first S. I. A. A. championship. Crowley will be missed when the cagers report next year. Blanchard Johnson, Junior, Forward, was chosen on the all-S. I. A. A. team and led the Gents in scoring during the season. Johnson has one of the fastest shots of any man in the game. This boy is a fast breaker and a great man on following shots. Blanchard is expected to end his basketball career in a blaze of glory his senior year. Earl Nolan, Junior, Forward, last year ' s high scorer and runner-up to Johnson. This year this boy is a regular streak of lightning on the court, and has developed into a great all-round player. Nolan is the only member of the cagers that is married. Lots of baskets are expected from this boy next year. Tim Moran, Senior, Guard, a great basketball player with plenty of color, who 128 Finch, Center Johnson, Forward could cover his man on the Gents ' — man-for-man — defense with the best of them. Tim was chosen on the S. I. A. A. This senior will be hard for the champs to replace. Melford Allums, Sophomore, Guard. Melford only lacks playing experience before he will develop into one of the best guards in the Southwest. He is the ideal basketball type, tall, rangy, fast, and a scrapper. Will be hard for any of the incom- ing freshmen to beat out the coming season. Perry Ames, Sophomore, Center, is another sophomore who had to compete against seniors. Played a good game against Terre Haute. Has lots of natural ability and should go on the hardwood court next year. Dan Finch, Senior, Guard, Center, Forward. Dan was the most versatile man on the team, playing every position. Finch ' s outstanding defensive game was when he held the highly-touted squad of Butler scoreless. Finch ' s steady play in the tourna- ment was an important cog in the Gents winning. This basketeer led his team in free throws during his college career. Bailey McElreath, Senior, Center, Forzvard, who passed with his wrong hand, was one of the best passers on the club. Always hustling made Mc. a well-rounded player for the champions. Bailey came to Centenary from a junior college and has played his allotted time. A fine fellow to have on a team. Crofford Womack, Junior, Guard, had an imp ossible job in displacing Moran at floor guard, but played lots of basketball during the season. One of the most colorful players that ever stepped on anybody ' s court. Womack was an outstanding dribbler, and will show this coming year. 129 Freshman Basketball The Junior Gents again played in the Municipal League under the colors of the Horseshoe Feed. They finished second in the percentage column and were nosed out by Sparco, five times champion of that organization. In their annual series with the Bull Pups of Louisiana Tech they broke even. The freshmen basketeers won every game that they played against high school competition. Moody Johns was chosen on the mythical selection in the City League. This East Texas boy is expected to be of help to the S. I. A. A. champions on the maple court this coming season. Fred Willis, freshman basketball mentor, gave numerals to the following boys: Smith, Glaze, V. Johnson, Oslin, Blakemore, Chotiner, Johns. SEEOCiT ' SEED if gj iMifff gw ANE-nsa • .
