The Howard Payne Yellow Jackets, a smart powerful band of football players that played havoc with many of the state’s leading college teams, brought to a close the 1938 season on Dec. 3, when they dropped a thrilling, but discouraging Home- coming game to their perennial rivals, the Hardin-Simmons Cowboys. Previously on Thanksgiving Day they downed Southwestern to complete their conference sche- In eleven games during the season, the Jackets won seven games, lost three and tied one. Six of these victories were over conference competition as the Jackets plugged along in earnest fashion for their ninth Texas Conference Championship. Minus the brilliant blocking that so characterized the ’37 team the Yellow Jackets relied greatly upon their forward wall and tight defensive play to carry them through their successful season. The ’38 team was not the greatest team in the history of the college but it was composed of a group of students that knew the meaning of cooperation, knew the drama and tradition behind the singing of the Alma Mater” and “That Good Ole Howard Payne Line,” and knew that it must play each game as it came and not live on the past laurels of the great elevens of the Blue and Gold. No, it was not just an eleven; it was a team, from the reserves who saw no ac- tion, to the leading scorer, that lived up to the traditions of Howard Payne and the teachings of its coaches—clean sportsmanship and hard fighting. NORTH TEXAS DEFEATS JACKETS IN OPENING GAME Early predictions were given a sudden jolt in the but promising Yellow Jacket eleven made a rather inauspicious showing and were defeated by a dc- 13-0. Coaches Keaton and McCarver were faced with the problem of replacing seven regulars from the Championship Team of 1937. The Yellow Jackets failed to show their usual clicking offense, and their defense was ragged. The entire first half was played in Jacket territory. North Texas scored soon after Tlir Origin of (lie Touchdown Pass against TWO the game started on a series of off-tackle plays and end runs. The Jackets trailed at the half, 6-0. The Jackets staved off further attacks until the last quar- seore. The extra point was good. This game proved that the Jackets had to make Championship of the Texas Conference. BOBCATS VICTIMS OF JACKETS San Marcos—Sept. 23: Howard Payne defeated San Marcos Teachers 14-0 for their initial win of the season. Playing only mediocre ball in the first half, the Jackets came back in ihe last half to outclass the Bobcats. After a series of pass plays put the ball deep in Bobcat territory, the Jackets managed to put across a score in the third quarter. Wilson carried it over on an end run from the seven yard line. The other score came in the last quarter on a flat zone pass from Hext to Wilson that netted twenty-eight yards and a touchdown. Sunderman successfully converted after The Jacket offense, which failed to click last week, had a net gain of 282 yards, while the Jackets held the Bobcats to a net gain of 84 yards defens- ively. Especially noticeable was the improved blocking and much steadier defense displayed by the Jackets. Otho Barbee Bob Dendy ii!!= ■ J-7-K,3 mm offense, since it was the alert and fast charges of these seven front combatants that kept the Indians fumbling and failing in repeated offensive threats. WILDCATS HOLD JACKETS TO SCORELESS TIE Brown wood—Oct. 28: A heavier fighting hand of ACC Wildcats delayed the Jackets’ march to another Texas Conference Championship here tonight, when the two teams abandoned victory for a scoreless deadlock. The game was strictly a defensive battle and featured the fast charging linemen of both teams. These hard-fighting forward walls battered each other on fairly even terms for 60 minutes with neither being able to score. The Jackets’ offense Etheridge gets off to a good start against Simmons gained frequently and at times consistently in mid- field but it bogged down in enemy territory. Al- though the statistics favored the Jackets, ACC made quarter a Wildcat pass was completed for a touch- down that was nullified by an off-side penalty. Dendy, Russell, and Michel were defensive stand- outs for the Jackets. The entire Jacket team fought ARKANSAS STATE TEACHERS SMOTHER JACKETS Little Rock, Ark.—Nov. 4: The powerful Arkansas State Teachers’ passing attack clicked tonight, despite the fact that the game was played in a driving rainstorm. As a result the Jackets succumbed to the Bears, 27-0. The Teachers’ offense was never stopped by the staunch defense The Jacket offense was greatly handicapped by the able to offer any serious threats The Teachers mixed passed with their powerful line thrusts to keep the Jackets under the shadow of their own goal most JACKETS BEAT ST. EDWARDS, 16-0 Brownwood—Nov. 11: After putting on a mediocre scoreless exhibition in the first half, the Yellow Jackets came back in the third quarter and turned on the power to down the St. Edwards Tigers 16-0. After a pass comple- tion from Hext to Wilson put the ball on the 14 yard line in position for a field goal attempt, Chris Sunderman, Sophomore halfback, entered the game and promptly booled the ball between the crossbars for three points. This was the spark that set off the Jacket offense. A few minutes later Sunderman intercepted a Tiger pass and by putting on a splen- did exhibition of ball-toting, he carried the ball straight down the field to the 1 yard line. Terrell carried the ball over for the score. Sunderman’s kick was blocked. The last touchdown climaxed a 66 James Minor Orville Etheridge Hubert Foster yard drive led by Minor, Terrell, and Etheridge. Minor skirted end from the 5 yard line for the score. Sunderman entered the game and added the extra JACKETS DEFEAT SOUTHWESTERN TO RETAIN CHAMPIONSHIP Brown wood—Nov. 24: Texas Conference Championship to their list when This totaled their third consecutive championship and their eighth undisputed championship in the thirteen seasons since the conference was organized. Two staunch defensive teams walked off the Jacket field here today, Thanksgiving Day, after Terrell plows through for necessary yardage fighting valiantly for 60 minutes. The teams fought on even terms throughout the contest. Neither team offered any serious scoring threats until the third quarter. Wilson put the ball in enemy territory on a 25 yard end run. He received a serious knee injury on the play and was forced to leave the game. From this point Terrell and Minor carried the ball to the 13 yard line. On third down Minor started to Terrell who made a finger tip catch near the cof- fin corner for the score. Sunderman kicked goal.

By winning the mile relay from competition which included Texas, Robert Stokes Waymon Wilson Jack Price Ralf Melvin Boedeker Rice, and A. M., they won the distinguished Robert L. Bobbitt trophy which they will defend next The Jackets failed to live up to expectations at the Southwestern Fat Stock Show Track Meet and finished third behind East Texas and North Texas. Yellow Jacket fans had the opportunity of witnessing one of the best triangular track meets ever held in the Southwest when Howard Payne met North Texas State Teachers College and East Texas State State Teachers College in Brownwood. These three teams were recognized as the strongest and most versatile track aggregations in the Southwest. But even against such mighty competition, Coach “Nig” McCarver’s athletes came through with their best performances of the year to com- pletely rout the nationally famous North Texas Eagles, headed by Blaine and Wayne Rideout, and all but outscore East Texas. East Texas compiled 57 points, Howard Payne 55.66 and North Texas 41.33. This meet produced some of the fastest times ever run on a local track. In the Annual Texas Relays the Jackets carried off their share of the honors. They placed third in the mile relay, third in the medley relay, and third in the 120 yard high hurdles. The third OSWALDO GUARRNERO Earl Owens place won by Owens, freshman hurdler, in the hurdles was against competition which included the nationally recognized Wolcott of Rice and Wright of Oklahoma A. M. At the Southwestern Relay Carnival held in El Paso April 8, the Jackets took second place and defended the second place berth they won in the Relay Carnival last year. Owens, freshman hurdler, led the Jacket Speedsters by breaking both records in the high and low hurdles. The Jackets also won second in the mile and sprint medley relays, third in 440 yard relay, and fourth in the 100 In a triangular meet at College Station between Texas A. M., Howard Payne, and Abilene Christian College, the Jackets finished second. A. M. tallied 90 points, the Jackets 54.5, and the Wildcats 25.5. The Jackets exhibited strength in the running events, but they lacked the all-around potential strength of the Aggies, especially in the field events. Boedeker, Swindle, and Owens car- ried the brunt of the Jacket attack. With several other track engagements prior to the Texas Conference Track Meet which will be held in Georgetown in May with Southwestern as the official host, the Jackets should be in top con- dition to defend the championship which they now hold.
