Front row: Dick Becker, Frank Synott, Co-captain Charles Williams, Thomas Presswood, Harry Thielepape, Earl Davidson, and Co-captain George Wright. 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.
