Capt. Hoot” Masur has finished a very colorful grid career for the Jackets. For four years he has been the Jacket regular fullback and above all has had few peers in the conference at this position. Masur was probably the best defensive back in the conference during his playing for the Jackets. The Texas Conference will lose a football player that has been one of her outstanding members for the past four years when Masur graduates this spring. Howard Payne will always remember Hoot for his clean and hard playing while helping the Jackets MASUR THE SQUAD This Jacket football squad with the others that have been in Howard Payne for the past four years has established a record that has never been equaled in Texas athletic circles. They have won the Txas Conference Football Title since 1928, the only blot on their record for the past five years was a tie with Simmons University for the title in 1931. The present squad came right back to win the crown again during the past season. A record of four undisputed titles in five years. The 1932 squad established a record that will be seldom equaled and probably will never be excelled. Coach Cheaney started with a bunch of men that were only mediocre in appearance but due to willingness to work they were developed into champions.

CHEANEY KEATON SCOTT Coach Cheaney has finished his fifth year as head football coach at Howard Payne. During these five years he has won four championships and tied for the fifth. With a record like this the Jacket fans and student body have begun to look on him as a genius. Besides being a successful coach he is a real friend to the boys with which he works. His excellent personality has made him a success as a coach as well as a friend. Coach Keaton has been line coach of the Jacket football teams for the past five years. Keaton developed the power that carried our teams to the championships annexed the past five years. The lines have been the success of the Jacket football machines. In Coach Keaton the college and student body has a friend that is always ready to do what he can for them. Keaton is a man who has little to say but what he docs say carries a great deal of force. Harold Scott coached the Jacket Freshmen during the past season. He did a good job of it as the Frosh boasted a fair team. Scott is a former Jacket grid star, playing under the Jacket colors in 1924, 25, 26 and 28. Coach Scott is a man who was well liked by the boys and really took the job to heart. We are fortunate in having a man as capable as he is to coach our Freshman team.

 Toots Gilliam playing his second year with the Jackets was a very good reserve guard. His fight stopped many plays at his side of the line. Ray Taylor playing his initial year as a Jacket back looked great during the latter part of the season, much will be expected of him next year. Charlie Miller, another reserve, should earn his letter at center for the Jackets next season. Clayton Hopkins playing his second and last year for the Jackets has been a stellar performer all year. He will be missed next fall when the opening whistle blows. Bob Sikes, a star from the Frosh squad of 1931, was handicapped by sickness about the middle of the season. He should make Coach Cheaney a good linesman or back next fall. McQUEEN HUTCHINSON Price McQueen was one of the Jackets' best ends. His defensive work was above par all season. His pass catching was above the average. McQueen will be playing his fourth and last year for the Jackets when the 1933 season rolls around. Bob Hutchinson has finished his grid career with the Jackets. He was a little man but his fight and fleetness made him a dependable back.
