Continuing their winning record, they also defeated Stephen F. Austin and the col- lege of Marshall in both singles and doubles in dual match- es. Alexander College claimed the East Texas Champion- -ship in 1921 in Basketball with the greatest team produced to that date. Going on to State, they lost to Grubbs Voca- tional College by a score of 28-36. But the team did trounce I. B. C. twice that year. Alexander College scored 295 points that season while their opponents only scored 189 points against them. The 1937 football team will not be re- membered for any great victories, but rather as UW -gif' s A Q ll l it 1921 Basketball for their hard work and good sportsmanship, and to a fighting Bearcat that is important. Their uniforms may look odd today and their rivals may not seem very impressive, but these sports teams bequeathed a love of hon- est competition and a determination to do their best that can be seen in Lon Morris sports today. 1937 Football 'I3

The whistle blows, the clock starts an the game begins. Lon Morris has long been active in the sports field whether it was Girls Basketball in 1913 or the East Texas Championship Boys Basketball in 1921. Lon Morris teams have long been d characterized by a fighting desire to win, but more importantly to play the game fairly. The 1913 A. C.I. Boy 's Basketball team stayed on top for eight victories over rival schools such as Chandler High School and Rusk Academy. Rivalry with Jacksonville Baptist College was in full force in 1913 when we defeated them 18-5 and 33-6. Football was obviously a popular sport in 1914 when the squad had thirty members. The Captain was R. O. Moughon and R. G. Bo- ger coached. The team record shows that they won six of their games. Often to the tune of cheers like Boom a Ra- Ka, Boom a Raka, Boom a Rakakee. Rippa Zip- pa, Rippa Zippa, Rippa Zippa Zee! Boom a Raka, Rippa Zippa, who are we? OLD ALEXAN- DER! Don't you see? A. C.I. boasted an undefeated Girl's Basket- ball team in 1913. Their best game was a 10-0 victory over Tyler High School and like the boys' team, they soundly defeated Rusk Academy. Sports have always bee 1913 Boy 's Basketball 1914 Football Il 1913 A. C.I.
