Andersc in, Vice-President Clyde McIntosh, Secretary DEAN OF tiMEN AND OlXDMEN Mr. (). E. WiNEBRENNER, since having come to Howard Payne College, has endeared himself in the hearts of the students. He is always willing to do all in his power to help any student. He is a sympathetic advisor to any and all who seek his advice. He is head of the Department of Science but he is never too busy to lend aid to anyone at any time. He is a church worker of the highest value. His activities in the betterment of the school and community have been a thing for which the school may justly be proud. Miss Cleo McChristy, Dean of Women and matron of Howard Payne Hall, is one of the best friends a girl or boy can have in the school. She is also head of the English Department in the college and sponsor for the journalistic activities in the school. Outside her regular college work Miss McChristy is teacher of the Berean Class of the Coggin Avenue Baptist Church. Miss McChristy is the advisor and friend of the girls in the dorm- itory and those who live in the city. They never go to her with problems that she does not respond and give them the advantage of her experience in the school. She is truly for Howard Payne. 'e 'faculty O. E. Winebrenner, B. A., M. A.

Murphey ATHLETIC COUNCIL The Athletic Council of Howard Payne College is composed of J. Horace Shelton, I. A. Hicks and T. R. Havins. These are the men who plan and make possible the things that are achieved in the field of athletics by the college. They work hard in order that the athletes may have the proper equipment with which to play the game. Mr. Shelton has done much in the past few months to make the football field one of to do with the great teams that the coaches put out from year to year. Much credit COACHING STAFF JOE BAILEY CHEANEY has, since returning to Howard Payne as a coach, that has not been equaled by any other team in the Southwest. Cheaney not only teaches his men to play ball but he always has a team that plays the game fairly at all times. McADOO KEATON has been line coach since Cheaney became head coach here. He has developed the line while Cheaney developed the back field. The lines that Keaton has developed have had much to do with the championship teams that Howard Payne has had. Keaton is admired by all who know him. COACHING 5TAFF J, HORACE SHELTON has been with the college for several years. He was freshman coach for a time, then he took over the job of track coach. Since then he has developed some remarkable track teams. His teams won the Texas Conference meet for five years. B. HALE came to Howard Pavne from George Washington U., and with the vast lege has ever had. Much is expected of his team next year. T. R. HAVINS has been coach of the tennis squad since it became an official sport in the Texas Conference. He has had some championship players since he assumed his task. His teams are always hard workers. 'J'cotball SAN MARCOS The Jackets lost their first start of the season when they met the San Marcos Bobcats in the Howard Payne Park, September 29. The Bobcats won by the score of 20-12, due to their great all around good playing. The great defensive play of Little and the stellar passing of Taylor made them outstanding for the Jackets. JOHN TARLETON In another non-Conference tilt the Jackets won from the John Tarleton Plow- boys. The Jackets got off to a slow start and were unable to score in the first half, but came back strong in the second half to make three counters and two extra points- Taylor, Archer and Morrow were the stars for the Jackets. SCHOOL OF MINES Leaving several of his regular men at home because of injuries, Coach Cheaney went to El Paso to meet the heavy Miners, who were doped as easy winners over the Jackets. However, the Jackets were primed for the game and went in determined to win. The whole Jacket team did themselves credit. They scored early in the first quarter and held the lead to the end. They played defensive football all the rest of the game and their goal was never seriously threatened. Little, Terry, Archer, and West were outstanding for the Yellow Jackets. Ray Taylor Halfback Hilton Gilliam Jake Edwards Tackle Earl Schuhman Halfback Bob Sikes Fullback Quarterback AUSTIN COLLEGE The first Conference game, which was played in Brownwood with the Kangaroos, resulted in a 6-6 tie. All of the scoring was done in the first half. The Kangaroos got their counter in the first quarter only to have the count knotted in the second quarter by the Jackets. Tavlor, Edwards, Gilliam and Mc- McMURRY One of the most spectacular games played in Brownwood was seen on the night of October 27, when the Yellow Jackets tangled with the Indians. Both teams had and used very effective passing attacks. Taylor, who made two scores for the home team was easily the outstanding man on the field. The final score was 12-6. A. C. C. The first out of town Conference game in which the Jackets participated was with the Abilene Christian College Wildcats in Abilene. The game was played on a very cold, muddy field and no scoring was done by either side. The game resulted A. C. C., with the A. C. C. man getting the better of the affair. In this game Taylor was injured and did not get to play any more until the Simmons game. ST. EDWARDS The Jackets lost their first Conference game since 1931 when they met the Tigers on Armistice Day. Both teams flashed a good brand of football and no scoring was done until the last quarter. The game was marred by much rough play. Although beaten by a score of 7-0 the Jackets went down in a blaze of glory; they had played clean hard football. ixoxi «□njut.jmj SIMMONS On the 25th day of November the highly touted Simmons Cowboys came to Brownwood. The Jackets played a good brand of football and again the ancient rivals came out on the small end of a 6-0 score. The Jackets played great defensive ball throughout the game, and when Sikes blocked a Simmons punt early in the third quarter Taylor immediately threw a twenty yard pass to Underwood over the goal line for the only counter of the game. All of the Jackets played stellar football, but the play of Sikes, Taylor, McQueen and West was outstanding. We only regret that the indications are now that we will not get to see a game like this next year. SOUTHWESTERN Although the Pirates made more first downs than the Jackets, the outcome of the game was never in doubt. The Jackets collected their two counters in the first half of the fray and added a safety in the last half for the total of 14 points. The Pirates picked up 7 points late in the last half of the game. Sikes, West, McQueen and Taylor played great games for the Jackets. Thus the Yellow Jackets closed an- other most successful season. i'-l.-Ml JLJMLJ FRESHMAN SEASON In the first game of the season the Slimes won from Ballinger 39-0. The whole fish and were badly beaten. The freshmen beat them 34-6, but should have beaten In what was slated to be the hardest game of the season, the Jacket first year men took the St. Joseph squad in to the tune of 34-0. The Slimes proved that they could really play football. After watching this game, we expect much from these new men next year. Marshall, Nunnally and Sunderman played the best brand of ball for the frosh. With all of this new material on hand for next year some one had better look out or the Jackets will again cop the Conference crown. Basket Bail WEATHERFORD In the initial till of the season the Cheaneymcn took the Weatherford Junior Col- lege lads in by the score of 25-23. Bragg, captain of the Jackets, was the leading scorer of the game with 10 points. Gill lead the Coyotes with the scoring of 8 points. JOHN TARLETON The Jackets journeyed to Stephenville and got trounced to the tune of 46-23. The Jackets never did hit their stride in this game. It seemed that none of the Jacket forwards could find the basket that night. Glover of the Plowboys was the outstand- ing man on the floor. A. C. C. The Yellow Jackets started off their Conference race with a defeat. They went down before the strong Wildcat team from Abilene, by the score of 30-26. Wheeler and Little were the outstanding men for the Jackets. McMURRY The next night the Jackets took a lacing from the Indians. The Indians trimmed them to the tune of 46-36. Curry of the McMurry delegation was high point man with 18 points to his credit. Morrow was next with 15 points. JOHN TARLETON The Tarleton boys came down one afternoon for a game and nosed out the Jackets 27-26. The final outcome was uncertain to the very last. The game was SOUTHWESTERN The Jackets took their next Conference start from the Pirates by the score of 36-26. Morrow played a good game for the Jackets and lead in the scoring with 18 points. ST. EDWARDS The Jackets journeyed to Austin and took on the Tigers, making their second Conference win. “Red” Bragg was the star of the game with his floor work and his eye for the basket. He made 8 of the Jackets’ 33 points. The score was 33-15. AUSTIN COLLEGE The Austin College delegation proved easy victims for the Jackets. They took a drubbing to the tune of 46-27, with Wheeler making 25 of the 46 points for the Cheaneymen. SIMMONS Coach Cheaney’s boys looked bad in their fray with the Cowhands. The Sim- mons lads beat them 47-34 in a wild game. McCollum was high point man with 16 McMURRY Again the Jackets went down before the strong McMurry bunch, this time to the tune of 51-40. McKenzie made 20 points for the Indians. AUSTIN COLLEGE they drubbed the Austin College lads 51-28. All of the Jackets did nice playing. ST. EDWARDS In the next home game the Jackets beat the Tigers 48-29. Bragg was high point man with 15 points but Wheeler and Morrow were close behind with 12 each. SOUTHWESTERN In another home game the Cheaneymen won from the Pirates by a 25-18 count. A. C. C. The Wildcats again trimmed the Jackets. This lime the score was 43-31. An- derson made 17 points for the Wildcats. SIMMONS In the final game of the season the Jackets knocked the Cowhands out of a tie lor the Conference crown by trouncing them 34-33. The Jackets really beat them worse than the score indicates. Wheeler was high point man with 11 points. Olitel spelts TRACK TRACK TRACK THE SEASON to give nothing but our opinion of what is to come. This will he nothing more than a guess and yours is as good as ours. In the first start of the season the Jackets made a fair showing. This start took place at the Fat Slock Show in Fort Worth. “Cap” look three men to Fort Worth and all of them made good showings. Underwood broke the meet record in the low hurdles with the time of 25.1. He placed second in the high hurdles. Next the Jackets took on Tarleton and beat them 65-52. Again Underwood made In their next start the Jackets lost to the strong San Marcos Bobcat team. Coach Shelton did not take his full team with him on this trip. In a five cornered meet at Austin the Jackets placed second. Texas beat them Indications are now that the Jackets are going to make a good showing at the Texas Conference meet to be held in Brownwood the 10th and 11th of May. If things go well the Jackets have a good chance to regain the crown they lost last year to the strong A. C. C. team. The baseball group. The pilcher. What’a throw. Tennis players. Blanche. Eaton.

It has been the aim of Roy Ramsour to make a book that will reflect the life on the campus. He has worked hard with only one aim in view, and that was, to please the student body. After be- ing elected in May of last year he began to plan the book he thought would be more likely to succeed in pleasing every one. His only hope is that he has been successful. John A. Wester was selected to fill the place of Business Manager for The Lasso, and has worked faithfully. His burdens were lighter this year however, because the financial end of the book is taken care of in the main office of the college. 1934 LA550 The editor of The Lasso wishes to thank the following persons for the work they did in helping make the book a success. Especially does he wish to thank Bob English and A. C. Garvin for the work they did.

The standard of the club has been higher this year than in previous years. They have produced only the best in every line they undertook. The group of students in the club are representative of the campus. They have formed one of the finest social organizations on the campus. The club presented a three act play, written by Mr. Sherwood, a prominent author, during the first term. The play, “Queen’s Husband,” was very clever and was enjoyed by those who saw it. The part of King Eric was played by Kenneth Webb and the part of Queen Martha by Elizabeth Britton. Later in the year the club presented three one act plays, Sham, Sod, and Elmer. Sham was a satire of the American people and was cleverly done. Sod was a picture of the frontier days. Elmer was a comedy and was full of fun from start to finish. The club has presented another three act play. This play was writ- ten by Moliere, a French author. It is different from any that has ever been presented in Brownwood and proved to be very interesting. The play, “The Imaginary Invalid,” is a satire on medicine. The Howard Payne Players are to be commended on the fine work they have done this year.
