Horton Hagan McMahon Womack Coffey YELL LEADERS Yea Tigers! Yea Tigers! Fight! Fight! Fight! . . . how familiar those sounds and what memories those yells bring back of the exciting foot¬ ball games of the past year. While the boys oil the gridiron were fight¬ ing their battles, the yell leaders were having their struggles with the fans in the stands, urging them to cheer the Tigers on to victory. Earl Horton, chief yell leader, won many friends with his genial smile. He was very ably assisted by Malvin Coffey, yell leader for his second year, Wallace Ragan, and J. F. Womack. Charlotte McMahon, song leader, also won many friends with her pleasing personality and pep. The cheer leaders accompanied the football team to Beaumont and Conroe, and they were present at all of the home games. The cheer boosters should be given credit for staying in the thick of the game with the football team, cheering them in victory or in defeat.

BASKETBALL SUMMARY 1936 DAVIS —The inexperienced Tigers opened the season, January 8, at the San Jacinto gym and took a licking at the hands of Jeff Davis Panthers. Doug Bolster, Sam Houston forward, led the scorers with eleven points. The Panthers grabbed an early lead and were never threatened by their taller rivals. The final score was 32-19. MILBY —With a game under their belt, the Tigers hit their stride the follow¬ ing week and took the Milby Buffs into camp 23-18. Bolster again paced the scorers with eleven points, and Captain Weidemeyer starred by his floor work. The Bengals were greatly helped by the fact that Lawrence Schutte continually got the tip-off from his opponent, who was several inches taller. SAN JACINTO —On January 22, San Jacinto handed Sam Houston its worst defeat of the year. The Tigers managed to keep within striking distance through most of the first half, but in the last half, led by Young Bussey, the Bears ran off from the Tigers. When the final whistle blew, the score was 46-17. Bussey, of the Bears, took scoring honors, with 17 points, while Ragan scored 11 of his team’s 17 points. REAGAN —In the season ' s most exciting game, Sam Houston nosed out the Reagan Bulldogs, January 24, in the Reagan gym 27-25. The score was tied 25 all until Wallace Ragan, Tiger forward, sank a crip shot in the last five seconds of play for the winning play. Bolster was again high point man with 9 points, while Weidemeyer covered the floor well. DAVIS —Although they were nosed out by Davis in the following game, the Tigers looked good in bolding the boys who later went on to win the district title to a score of 24-21. Only the failure to sink free throws kept the Tigers from upsetting the dope. Ragan, of the Tigers, took high point honors with 10 points. SAN JACINTO —On February 1, the Tigers met the San Jacinto Bears and were again trounced by the South Enders. The Bears ' passing and Bussey ' s shooting proved too much for the Downtown boys, and as a result, when the final whistle blew, they were on the short end of a 41-17 score. Doug Bolster led the Tigers with 8 points. MILBY —Sam Houston chalked up its third and last win of the season, Febru¬ ary 7, in the Deadv gymnasium by beating the Milby Buffs in a hard-fought game. Handicapped by the loss of their captain, Hal Weidemeyer, through in¬ eligibility, the Tigers played one of their best games and came out with a 38-31 victory. Wood of the Buffs, with 17 points, and Bolster of the Tigers, with 12 points, led the scoring. REAGAN —February 13, in the Davis gym, the Reagan Bulldogs avenged their former defeat with a 27-20 victory over the hapless Centralites. Moers, canine forward, hit the meshes for 10 points to grab scoring honors, while Bolster again led the Tigers with 8 points. The defeat sent the Tigers into fourth position in the city race as the season ended.
