ICE HOCKEY SEASON The Reagan leers with the loss of four of their best players, when ice hockey was recognized as a major sport and placed under Interscholastic League ruling, suffered a severe handicap and were able to ring up only one victory. In the opener, the Canines were overpowered by the San Jacinto Bears, 15-1. Victory came their way the following week with a decisive 8-3 win over Davis. The next game was a thrilling encounter in which the Sam Houston Tigers nosed out the Bulldogs, 2-0. The Maroon and White received its third defeat at the hands of the powerful Milby crew, 9-0. The St. Thomas game ended the Reagan season with a 7-0 score, the Bengals on the winning end. Coach Traylor awarded letters to Charles Williams, Thomas Presswood, George Wright, Ed Davis, Earl Davidson, Dick Becker, and Alfred Foote, and to Lamar Allen, manager. The Reagan team proudly salutes Mr. D. L. Lyons, who gladly put forth untiring efforts in coaching the team. They also appreciate the interest, enthusiasm, and assistance given them by their sponsor, Mr. M. E. Traylor.

TRACK SEASON The track season of 1937 will go down in the annals of Reagan as one of the most successful in the Bulldog’s history. The Canine harriers opened the season at Cameron and topped a field of 400 athletes with 29 points. Turney took the 220, Weyer the pole vault, Matthews the 880, and the Bulldog quartet the mile and sprint relays. For their next meet Reagan journeyed to Fort Worth, where they placed second in the 220, second in the mile relay, and tied for first in the pole vault. At the San Jacinto Relays, Reagan won the mile relay and the 100 yard dash, placed second in the 440 relay and the discus throw, but because of great sportsmanship on Coach Turner’s part forfeited their win in the 880 relay to Milby. The following week Reagan journeyed to the Texas Relays, where, competing against the best talent in the state, the quartet of Brandt, Telge, Matthews, and Turney won both the mile and the medley relays. At the Rosenberg relays, Reagan edged out Rosenberg by winning the discus throw, 100 yard dash, pole vault, and two mile relay, and setting a track record in the mile relay. At their first Interscholastic Meet, the District 1'9 trials, Reagan came through with flying colors, beating their nearest competitor by 16 points. Two records were broken, the 880 by Matthews, and the mile relay by Brandt, Telge, Matthews, and Turney. Turney won the 100 and 220 dashes, Bayer and Henderson tied for first in the high jump as did Smith in the discus, Wallis placed second in the low hurdles, and Brandt was third in the 440. At the Region Interscholastic Meet, Reagan again came out on top, winning first in the 100, 220, and 880, and second in the high hurdles, discus, high jump, and mile relay. At the annual city meet, Reagan again took top honors, 30 points above their nearest rivals. First places were won by Murphree, Wallis, Turney, Smith, Henderson, Matthews, and the mile relay squad. Others who helped with second and third places were Koons, Frank, Bayer, Telge, and Mullenweg. In the “B” class division, Reagan was also victorious by a large majority. Coach Turner awarded letters to R. B. Bayer, Leonard Brandt, Billy Henderson, Allen Janes, Charles Matthews, Harold Murphree, Homer Smith, Chester Telge, Billy Turney, and Wendell Wallis.
