Vox Boeckmann-Jones Universal Bookbindery ADMINISTRATION BUILDING: Four spires, a bell tower, an abundance of sandstone; nineteenth century architecture surrounded by twentieth century landscaping—the heart of D. B. C. TRAIL PUBLISHED BY STUDENTS’ ASSOCIATION DANIEL BAKER COLLEGE Dr. S. E. Chandler To Dr. S. E. Chandler, who has rounded out twenty-five years of Christian Service for Daniel Baker in the capacities of presi- dent and Head of the Bible department; to this amiable and likable character, who for many years has been affectionately called “uncle Zeke” by those who frequent the campus, this, the Nineteen Forty-one Trail’s respectively dedicated. C0QQ1N MSMORIAC C APSC FINE ARTS BUILDING: Erected in 1921; scene of pep rallies, student programs, club meetings, extension classes, fencing duels, and music lessons; housing the home economics laboratories, band room, faculty and publication offices; this is, in truth, one of the prized landmarks of the Daniel Baker campus. GIRLS DORMITORY: Familiar building on the Baker campus since 1910, scene of constant activity, center of Daniel Baker social life; burning of midnight oil, sessions of study, gossip, and “jive”; a mould for many cherished memories. SCIENCE BUILDING: Noxious odors current on the campus can be traced here . . . strange colors in shiny equipment . . . insects and small animals with their inner secrets exposed ... Ah! the realm of science. GYMNASIUM : Since 1928 the center of Baker’s extra cur- ricula activities; basketball, ten- nis. volleyball; proms, dances, parties; a worthwhile addition to Baker’s well rounded educa- tional program. WHITE HOUSE: Home of our campus pas- tor and Hillbillies; a scene of constant uproar, pranks, “bull” sessions, arguments, rivalries, all in a day’s routine. Faculty TO THE SEniORS OF 1941 As you explore new paths to fame, Do not forget the way you came, You’ll find new friends, I’m sure you will; Recall the old who loves you still. flomimsTRimon CLIVE WELLS MCCLELLAND A.

Utley Football CAULE Y The Daniel Baker H i I 1 b i 1 1 i e s opened the 1940 football season un- der somewhat of a handicap. Three letterman, Gene Hopper, a two year backfield man ; T. R. Christian, a let- terman at tackle; and Andy Camp- bell, a regular at guard, were all called to the Army Air Corps. In non- conference season openers the injury list claimed Lyle Chambers and “Red” Kirby, two promising backfield men. Wm. Lee Howard, all confer- ence guard, sustained a knee injury in a scrimmage session prior to opening the conference season with Austin College. The Season opener resulted in a 33-0 loss to the Hardin-Simmons Cowboys at Abilene. The Billies’ pass defense proved to be their downfall. The Cowboys accounted for four of their five touchdowns by the way of the air. Lyle Chambers, a Baker safe- ty man, sustained a knee injury on a brilliant defense play that terminated a 45 yard run by Campbell of the Cowboys to the Baker 11 yard line. With two minutes to play, M. F. Kir- by received a knee injury as he was ADAMS HOWARD Co-Caftain tackled out of bounds. Outstanding was the defense play of co-captains Wm. Lee Howard and Leo English. The second game of the season carried the Bakerites to Kilgore where they tangled with the Kilgore Junior College team and were left on the short end of a 12-0 score. The Rattlers of St. Mary’s Uni- versity of San Antonio overwhelmed the Billies in the New Alamo Sta- dium sending them back to Brown- wood on the small end of a top-heavy score of 51-0. Baker launched the conference cam- paign without the services of Wm. Lee Howard who received a knee in- jury in a practice session. The Kanga- roos, led by Ringold, all conference back, outpointed the Billies 19-6. Bakers six points came somewhat as a surprise. A. T. Shults, returning to the game late in the third quarter, blocked Ellis’ punt and Quentin Cau- ley picked the ball up and carried it 34 yards to the Kangaroo four yard line. Stewart passed to Adams on the third down for the counter. TRUSSED!. BROWNING PAGE LEWIS CHAMBERS THOMPSON H. GLEATON The fifth defeat for the Billies came at the hands of the Randolph Field Flyers by a 7-0 score, a game played as a benefit for Sam McLaugh- in. Baker’s only threat to tie the score came in the third quarter when they penetrated to the Flyers’ seven- teen yard line. Herbert Row and Jonsie Pate, freshman backs, were outstanding in the Baker lineup. The game with the Trinity Tigers proved to be another battle for con- trol of the air, Trinity coming out on top with a score of 32-0. The Tigers took advantage of Baker’s poor pass defense and piled up 238 yards through the air compared to 19 yards on the ground. The Billies’ only threat came in the opening few min- utes. Stewart passed to Adams and Cauley for three successive first downs, until the attack bogged down on the Trinity 17 yard line. The next game carried the Hill- billies to Kingsville where they tan- gled with the Javelinas of Texas A. and I. The Bakerites suffered a 38-6 defeat on this venture, their lone counter coming when Melvin Storm. a substitute linesman, recovered a fumbled punt behind the Javelinas goal line. The McMurray game proved to be one of revenge for the Indians. Baker the previous year had spoiled the Mc- Murray Home-coming by a score of 12-0. McMurray left the Baker Home-coming game with a score of 20-0 in their favor. The McMurray squad opened the scoring spree by collecting a six pointer on the kick- off. The Billies’ only threat of the game came when Whitmire advanced to the Indian one yard line on a series of runs, only to lose the ball on A. C. C. polished off their Home- coming festivities by scoring 20 points against the Billies in the first quarter. The remaining three quar- ters proved to be a tight defensive game with Leo English being instru- mental in holding the Wildcats be- yond the Baker 24 yard line. Hugh Gleaton, as in previous games, showed signs of playing “heads up” ball by recovering a Wildcat fumble deep in POINTER BROWNING GADDY KIRBY BARTON COULTER enemy territory to open the Billies’ only threat. Southwestern at Georgetown sacked up their second victory of the season at the expense of Baker by a score of 14-0. Burleson of the Pirates scored on line plunges from the four and five yard lines. Wilson Lewis on a 30 yard run and Childs’ punting, including an 85 yard quick kick, were outstanding among the Baker threats of the evening. The final game of the season which might appropriately be labeled the T. W. C.-Baker “mud-brawl” ended with Baker on the short end of a 20-0 score, and gave T. W. C. their first taste of conference championship by the virtue of a three way tie with A. C. C. and Howard Payne. Hugh Gleaton and Billy Stewart, two out- standing Bakerites, were out of the game with injuries. Nelson Coulter, 130 pound Baker backfield man. proved to be the best ground gainer on the Billy squad accounting for the first first down of the contest. Despite the reflections that might be gathered from the one-sided scores, Baker may say without hesitation that they were outpointed but not out- played, for the Billies dropped a game only after a hard and spirited game. THOMAS COACHES BLAIR AND RANSOM FOOTBALL SQUAD Basketball BASKETBALL The Bakerites, opening with a group of eleven Freshmen, three squadmen, and four lettermen were off to an impressive start by taking two in a row over San Angelo Junior College in pre-season games. The regular season on the other hand proved to be one of ups and downs. The Stewartmen seemed to be unable to match the smooth clicking veteran squads of their opponents and were left on the trailing end of the majority of their games, accounting for only two wins in conference competition. As a whole the Baker cagers, playing under a handicap of inexperience may well be praised for their showing during the past season. From all in- dications we may expect to see the Billies place a strong bid in the conference Among the outstanding men on the Baker squad were two Freshmen and one Sophomore; C. W. Utley of Cape Girardeau, Missouri; Richard Lewallen of Elkhart, Indiana; and Ray Gleaton of blanket, all three were placed on the honorable mention list in the Star-Telegram all conference ratings, and are men to be reckoned with in next year’s competition. The Baker cage team is losing only two lettermen by graduation this year, Wilson Lewis of Mullen and Hugh Trussed of Blum. The service of these two regulars will be missed but the Billie backers may be pleased to know that we will have a lineup of experienced men to start the season next year. POWER TO YOU, BILLIES.
