Blair Roy White Abney McKeever Head Coach Assistant Coach Freshman Coach COACHES R. E. Blair is a former wearer of the Blue and White. In his football days, he was a forward of ability and his pitching feats in baseball are still discussed by the old timers. Coming to his Alma Mater in 1925, Blair proceeded to build an enviable record as a coach. In 1926 and 1928 his football machines won high- est honors in the T.f.A.A. The 1931 club won the Western Division of the T.T.A.A. grid campaign. The basketball quintet molded by Coach Blair lias proceeded to distinguish itself on the hardwood. The highest honor was achieved in 1929, when the Hill Billies assumed first, place in the annual T.I.A.A. cage Abney McKeever secured his prep knowledge of athletics from Tulsa, Okla. High School. Enrolling in 1). B. C. in 1928, he was for four years a leading forward of the T.I.A.A. Abney was captain of the 1930 grid squad. As coach of the 1932 freshman te i h li pi cl 1 lit s teacher of moral and funda- mental science of football. REVIEW OF SEASON 1932 The football season of 1932 was ushered in by a splendid showing against the Texas U. Longhorns. The Hill Billies held this powerful unit to 26 points. The All-conference Koy and Stafford in the LTni- versity backfield and Cook, 210 pound guard were the leading instruments in the victory for the Austin school. Baker, soph, signal caller of the Blue and White distin- gushed himself in the back- field and the entire Baker forward wall fought creditably against the seasoned and powerful Longhorns. In the warm sun of the Panther City, Daniel Baker’s small eleven fell before the Southwestern Conference charges to the tune of 55-0. The T.C.U. Frogs with a line of over 200 pounds average that starred the All-American guard Johnny Vaught and Boswell kept at bay all offensive threats of the Blairmen. Spearman and Red Oliver struck the Billy defense time after time to roll up the majority. In defeat the Billies presented Hickman as a ball carrier and Humpy Blaydes and Oren Bauers forwards who spilled the Frogs many times. The opening home game was the closest of the season. The thrill of this battle will live long in the hearts of those who witnessed it. John Tarleton of Stephenville was leading 9-7 and with twenty seconds of playing time left, big Ernest Linkenhoger was called back to attempt a place-kick. The kick was successful and the Hill-Billies had won their first victory of the season. The opening Conference game was lost 12-0 to the Canyon Buffaloes. Beaten decisively the year before the Teachers were seeking revenge. Only after a hard fight did they win. The failure of the Daniel Baker team was lack of a goal line punch for they rolled up more yardage and first downs than did the Plainsmen. The sensational work of the Billy ends, Trigg and Harris was outstanding. Journeying to Austin for the second time of the season the Blue and White engaged the scrappy St. Edwards eleven and after 60 minutes of fast play neither club held an advantage. The tic game was 7-7. This game marked the end of a splendid career for the Hill-Billy Captain, Pollock Wise, for the big REVIEW OF SEASON (Continued) fellow received injuries that sent him to the sidelines for the rest of the season. Spec Smith’s pass snatching was the offensive jewel in the Hill-Billy attack. The marked ability of the Daniel Baker backfield to come back in the second half and crash the forward wa 1 of the Cadets from Schreiner Institute gave the locals a hard fought, well earned 25-13 victory. The game was played in San Antonio and inaugurated the first athletic contest there for the Billies in many years. Bill Gibson and Pluto Woodward featured in the successful drive for the Billies. Blair’s forward wall stopped Beard, the Mountaineer’s field general, and his mates could not solve the Hill-Billy defense, and the pupils of Gilstrap were placed on defense during tho second period. The Javelinas barely nosed out the Billies with a 19-13 victory. The game was the hardest of the conference for A. I. who were crowned undefeated rulers of the T.I.A.A. With only 3 minutes of play left and Baker leading 13-12, Speer shot a 45 yard pass to Carmen Teel, who went over for the winning touchdown. The Annual Armistice day battle with McMurry was lost 13-0. Inability to solve the defense and costly errors in the backfield wrecked the chances of Baker. This makes the fourth consecutive year the Billies have fallen before the hands of the Redskins. A week later the Sul Ross Loboes gained a 12-0 verdict over the Blue and White. The game was played in far away Alpine. An odd featui'e of this gridiron classic was the second touchdown gained by the Loboes. The gun barked to end the game, but just a moment before the ball had been placed in operation, and Bridges was , successful in evading Billy tacklers and continued his flight to the goal. The closing game of the season found the Baker squad hoger. cats. The old enemies successful and found ample revenge of the preceding sea- son and won 12-0.

The Wildcats of A.C.C. furnished Charles Reynolds, a southpaw forward, scoring record. McMurry started slow but before the con- came fifth, Daniel Baker had hard luck in basketball early in the season in that we lost Polly Wise, veteran center, due to a bad knee.

APRIL: ET TU, BRUTE Charles Wallace NO one knew Marcus Brutus better than did his friend and associate, Caesar; and no phrase in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar contains as much indication of the strong impression made by the attitudes, opinions and ideas of Brutus, for when the great Julius realized that a man of Brutus’ calibre had risen against him, with the famous words “Et tu, Brute” he muffled his face in his mantle and fell. In order to understand the philosophy of Brutus, we should consider first his conceptions of certain subjects of general in- terest in his day as revealed by his words and actions in the play. Brutus is not a Fatalist in the sense of one who leaves all to the Three Sisters; one who struggles against the inevitable, he is not, and in this he may be called a Fatalist. In the fearful commotion which follows immediately upon the assassination of Caesar, Brutus realizes for the first time the full force of the powers which he has set in motion and, filled with foreboding, voices his doubts of the future in the following words: “Fates, we will know your pleasures.” (III., i, 98). When he says, “The ghost of Caesar hath appeared to me. Two several times by night-----1 know my hour is come” (V,v,17) he shows the spirit of one who is compelled to submit to Fate. Another in- dication of his reluctant acknowledgment of unseen forces ap- pears just before the battle scene when he speaks of “some high powers That govern us below” (V,i,106). Brutus seems to have no religion and little regard for the gods. There are no evidences of piety on his part, while the only mention of the gods by him is found in exclamations like the following: “0 ye gods, Render me worthy of this noble wife.” (II,i,302) He was not an avowed Atheist, however. We reach this conclusion in reading again his mention of “patience to stay the providence of some high powers That govern us be- low. ” We must conclude that Brutus was more concerned with questions of actual living than with the machinations of any higher powers. Nowhere does our subject give any indication of belief in life after death; on the contrary, he speaks of death as a relief Cake Flour Gold Arrow Flour Gold Arrow Feed KANEASTER’S KANDY KITCHEN Cooks Their Candy and Makes Their Ice Cream We Appreciate the Patronage of D.B.C.

Seaborn: It ain’t the time that Speck: Sure, and ain’t there a lot of them ? Mrs. Horn: Tell us about the Spanish race. Bodie: Well, it was something like a medley, only there was more than league against Caesar is formed, where we hear the words, “ What other oath Than honesty to honesty engaged?” (II,i,120), and the final scene in. which we hear Brutus again rejoicing in man’s faithfulness and innate sense of right, saying, “My hear! doth joy that get in all my life I found no man but he was tine to me” (V,v,34). Unlike the majority of the ancients, Brutus does not con- sider woman completely unworthy to partake in serious matters. It is true that at the close of the scene with the conspirators he refuses to reveal the plans to Portia, his wife, but we feel that he wishes to spare her worry, or, perhaps, that he knows she will advise him against this course, rather than that he thinks her in- capable of understanding his purpose or unable to keep a secret. Indeed, he promises to tell her all presently, affirming (II,i,305) “Thy bosom shall partake The secrets of my heart”, and (II,i,302) “0 ye gods, Render me worthy of this noble wife.” After studying the Roman’s attitude toward matters of his day, let us pass into the realm of pure speculation, and by due processes of logic let us arrive at a conclusion concerning what he would think about different, moot subjects of today. Brutus’ views in general compare most favorably with the best standards of Christianity, indeed, his ideas can be said to correspond with many of the teachings of our religion. In re- spect to the resurrection of Christ and our own life after death, he would, of course, be skeptical, but would not be in any sense one of those who insist on shouting their doubts from the house- tops in order to shake the faith of others. Since he is a popular leader, he would not likely to voice religious opinions, but would busy himself in the task of securing honest government (This is not a paid political advertisement). Brutus would without doubt approve heartily of our form of government, mainly because it precludes the possibility of an autocracy, so much feared by him. Today he would be a Senator, or Vice-President, or even President—on a reform ticket. It is doubtful whether our noble Roman would have been an ardent exponent of Prohibition when the Amendment was first passed, but it is certain that he would have voted in favor of the said Amendment, since he had strong objections to in- temperance, and since he felt always interest in the welfare of the common people. The student of Brutus’ philosophy cannot help feeling that his subject would have approved heartily of woman’s holding the W. A.

Locket: Here is a story of a woman who thinks a football coach has four Kitty Watson: My dear! And how many does it have? Hise: This picture of me looks like Lowe: Well, you should have thought of that before you had it right to vote. In his treatment of liis wife, Brutus indicates that he considers her, and indeed all of her sex, capable of perform- ing whatever duties may be laid upon them. He would most assuredly watch with approval woman’s gradual assertion of her rights to a “place in the sun”. Never does Brutus give the impression of being a moralizer. The period in which he lives is certainly no less lacking in morality than is ours, yet we hear no complaints, no sermons. We find it very difficult to picture our modern Brutus, be- lieving as he does in the ultimate good of man, prophesying due calamity about to descend upon a lost world. To the careless reader of Julius Caesar, Brutus is the villain, nothing more nor less. To the casual student of history Brutus is merely one of the leading conspirators against Caesar. How different from these views is the Brutus conjured up before the eyes of the careful student by the master hand of Shakespeare. He beholds a living, breathing man, whose actions, simple at first glance, are the result of a philosophy of life so surprisingly complex, yet withal so human, that he feels at once that here is no marionette moved by the strings held by his master, the dramatist, but a real man around whom a play has been built. This effect of philosophical motivation is due, we have learned, to Shakespeare’s close study of the records bearing upon the Brutus of history. Brutus’ philosophy is, of its kind, perfect. In no place do we find a false premise or an illogical conclusion. We may differ with certain of his views, to be sure, but we must admit their basic sanity and verisimilitude. Whatever mistakes the noble Roman makes arc due to his inborn susceptibility to the influence of others rather than to his own opinions or ideas; whatever reverses he suffers are traceable to the occasional flaws in his make-up, rather than to his philosophy.
