AGNTA PPF J- BOOK TWO OF LAGNIAPPE PRESENTS THE CLASSES —grave seniors, about to go out into the world where, by their achievements, they will attempt to herald the name of Louisiana Tech to the honor of the col¬ lege; juniors, just entering the estate of seniorhood and charged with duties more serious than those which they have undertaken in the past, duties which they will assume with credit to their classes; sophomores, now far enough away from their freshman days to have a full realization of the seriousness of their pur¬ pose in attending college; and freshmen, less verdant than when they entered Tech for the first time, but filled with their importance as members of the sopho¬ more class. LAGNIAPPE takes special pride in this section of the 1927 annual, for it feels that here is pictured a student body of which Tech can be justly proud. The school’s record during the past year scholastically, athletically, and in all forms of activity is one in which students, faculty, and administration can take a justifiable pride. The graduating class looks forward confidently to the manner in which the remainder of the student body, cooperating with the faculty and administration, will carry on in the very best traditions of Louisiana Tech. -1 19 27 I- 37 XZZJLAGMIAPPECZZXriCZZ 5ENIDR -I 1927 czixj: O ' - coo Page Fifteen ILAGHIAPPELZZXZ2C MARGARET BARKSDALE - - Ruston B.

The social committee, in spite of the handicap of inadequate parlors, has planned sev¬ eral enjoyable social affairs. It is hoped that through the association the girls will gradually become a self-governing group. A trial proctor system is now functioning as a means of determining whether it is desirable and what problems are involved. Genuine in¬ terest and splendid cooperation have caused rapid progress. The Dean of Women and House Directors feel confident that the privilege and responsibility of making and carrying out regulations governing life in the dormitory may be given to the girls next year. ] 1927 3a ILAGNIAPPEt HOUSE ASSOCIATION m � m OFFICERS President.Charlotte Lewis Vice-President - Linda Anderson Secretary.Tinye Spencer Treasurer.Leila Prewitt fi m m CHAIRMEN OF COMMITTEES Social.Eula Brian Infirmary ----- Louise Culpepper Kitchenette ----- Vashti Blume Bulletin Board - Audrey Crausby Proctors.Lois Gregg Fire Drill ----- Mattie Sentell X3ZH 1927 Page Eighty-nine — ILAGNIA PPF. I WOMEN STUDENTS’ ASSOCIATION The Women Students’ Association of Louisiana Polytechnic Institute was organized in the fall term of 1926. Its member¬ ship is inclusive, for upon registration in the college every girl automatically becomes a member. The aims are neces¬ sarily broad and the program comprehensive. It was created as a means of overcoming the lack of spirit of unity between dormitory and town students. By developing common in¬ terests and creating larger loyalties, it attempts to bring them into closer association. Through constructive work for the improvement of the college, it has attempted to justify its existence. Two pro¬ jects have been undertaken thus far: The first, the making of an attractive rest room; the second, the creating of a student loan fund. 1927 Page Nitiety WOMEN STUDENTS’ ASSOCIATION ffi S OFFICERS President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Tinye Spencer Mary Barksdale Miriam Null Annie Durrette -I 1927 1 Page Ninety-one ILAGMAPPEt —-4L T.

Such an organization is found to be very worth¬ while, in that it offers an opportunity for a general gathering of the students with the Home Economics teaching staff in a social and fraternal way. There is much of general interest to all Home Economics students and teachers that cannot be covered in class work which may be considered in such a club. All the most recent achievements in the scientific or industrial world which concern any phase of home life are of common in¬ terest to all Home Economists. This club affiliates with both the Louisiana Home Economics Asso¬ ciation and the American Home Economic Association, and through these organizations may keep abreast of the times in all new ideas in our par¬ ticular field—which is becoming infinitely broad, in that most of the work of the world is involved in the four principal fields of Home Economic ac¬ tivity—food, clothing, shelter, and home administration. Through the meeting of the club all classes participate in programs and other activities which tend to unify the department and to create a stronger department spirit. Freshmen and Seniors are on common level. Class lines are wiped out and all are united for the development of the Home Economic school and “the glory of Tech. ,, The social hour of the meeting is not only a pleasant feature to all the members, but affords opportunity to each group in turn to assume the responsibilities of hostesses, thus giving experience which will be of value in our own homes. The club is proud of the successful alumni members from the Home Economics department in the various fields for which they are trained. Some are dietitians, some public demonstrators, but many more are suc¬ cessful home makers or home economics teachers. We are especially proud of our State Supervisors of Home Economics, Misses Clyde Mobley and Dorothy Kidd, who received their first diplomas from our Home Economics school and who we claim as our honorary members. This club aims to keep in touch as far as possible with our alumni and to profit from their experience.

H. E. (“Gob”) Wilson, the athletic director, serving his first season at Louisiana Tech, deserves praise for giving Louisiana Tech the first winning football team she has had for a period of three years. His right-hand man, Reginald A. (“Reggie”) McFarland, imparted much valuable information to the backfield men. Besides winning five games and losing but two, the Bulldogs were second in the race for the S. I. A. A. championship with three wins and but one loss, having been defeated only by Centenary, the winners of the title, in a hectic gridiron battle on Armistice Day. Both the moral and morale of the Tech team were of the highest type. Wherever the Bulldogs went they won the praise of all with whom they came in contact. Their spirit of sportsmanship and gentlemanly behavior was constantly praised. 0 O 0 LOUISIANA TECH VS. TULANE UNIVERSITY The Bulldogs found the Tulane Greenies strong and were turned back by a score of 40 to 0.

The Techmen were unfamiliar with the system of them new coach and, as a result, the score of their initial battle was one- Sided. However, the newspapers of New Orleans, scene of the game praised the work of Captain Hogg and Quarterback Willis, of the Bulldogs’. 0O0 LOUISIANA TECH VS.

Captain Hogg scored three touchdowns tor lech, while Willis added six points with a touchdown. Boss kicked the tour goals after touchdowns.

CLARK COLLEGE This game, which was played on Tech field during the long home stay, was an easy victory for the Bulldogs. Clark offered little opposition and fell before the mad rushes of the Tech team. The great Hogg tore through their little line time after time and Willis skirted their ends for numerous long gains. A feature of the contest was a forty-yard drop kick from a difficult angle by “Lefty” Boss, who also added three points after touch¬ down with place-kicks. The score was 36 to 0. 0O0 LOUISIANA TECH VS. TENNESSEE DOCTORS The grid battle with the Medicos had been scheduled as the feature attraction of an elaborate Homecoming Day program. Faithful Alumni and enthusiastic undergraduates braved a rainstorm to see the Bulldogs battle the University of Tennessee representatives to a standstill and a 0 to 0 score. The game was halted in the second period when the driving rainstorm made play impossible. The Bulldogs carried the fight to their opponents throughout play. Twice the canine lot carried the oval to the five-yard line only to be set back by the severest of penalties. Willis was the star on the offense and Pankey shone on the defense. = 3 :- 1 1927 [ Page One Hundred and Twenty-three LAWRENCE, Halfback RATCLIFF, Halfback L. BOSS, Tackle LOUISIANA TECH VS. MILLSAPS COLLEGE The Tech team wreaked vengeance on the Majors for old defeats with a well-earned 13 to 7 triumph. The score, however, does not indicate Tech’s superiority over the Majors, for the Bulldogs scored 11 first downs against three for their Mississippi opponents. The feature of the game was an eighty-yard run by Pryor for a touch¬ down. The Majors scored their lone marker in the fourth quarter. After being stopped for three times on Tech’s sixteen-yard mark the Majors were given the ball on the one-yard line as a penalty to the Bulldogs. Line bucks failed to carry the ball over, but on the fourth down the Mill- saps quarterback pulled a surprise play and shot the oval over the mark for a touchdown. oOo LOUISIANA TECH VS. SOUTHWESTERN By beating the strong Southwestern team 23 to 0 the Techmen showed their true strength. The game was played in Lafayette on the day which had been set aside as the dedication of Southwestern’s new stadium and football field. The victory of the Bulldogs came as quite a surprise to Lafayette grid fandom, but it was a decisive win and a revenge for old defeats administered Tech by Southwestern. run 1927 czmi 1LAGMAPPE I- Page One Hundred and Twenty-four 1LAGNIAPPE I- HOGG, Fullback SHARMON.

The initial touchdown was scored by Pankey on an intercepted forward pass and a thirty-five-yard sprint to the goal line. Willis scored the second Bulldog marker with a forty-yard run, and Boss intercepted a pass and raced fifty yards for the final touchdown. “Lefty” also kicked a field goal from the side of the field, which gave the Techmen an extra three points. 0O0 LOUISIANA TECH VS. CENTENARY COLLEGE Armistice day called the Bulldog into action against its ancient rival, the Centenary Gentlemen. A Tech-Centenary event had always been the last word in North Louisiana football classics. A crowd of approximately ten thousand people swarmed the Centenary stadium in Shreveport to witness a bitter struggle between the oldest of rivals and premier teams of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association. For the first half of the game the Bulldogs carried the fight to the Gents and kept them with their backs to the wall, but the necessary punch seemed to be lacking. The tables were turned early in the third quarter when the Gents carried the ball to the Red and Blue one-yard mark. However, they were held for downs. Tech kicked out of danger and play ]1927 [ J Page One Hundred and Twenty-five ILAGmAPPEdZZXZ PRYOR, End DAVIS, Tackle HARPER, Guard was conducted in midfield until the closing moments of the third period. With the ball on their own forty-five-yard line, the Gents uncovered the bit of strategy that won them the S. I. A. A. football championship. It was a trick play that completely baffled the Bulldogs. While a Gent back was racing fifty-five yards for the lone touchdown of the game, the Bull¬ dogs were looking for the “hidden ball, ,, a gridiron trick as old as football itself. The goal was kicked and the fighting Bulldog was defeated 7 to 0 in the most hectic game ever waged between Tech and Centenary. 0O0 LOUISIANA TECH VS. SAM HOUSTON The Bulldogs returned to their kennel on November 19 to be tied by a team far below its own standard. Sam Houston made a valiant fight and received a 6 to 6 verdict. The superiority of Tech over the Sam Houston eleven is shown by the fact that Tech scored fourteen first downs against one for their oppo¬ nents. The Bulldogs carried the oval to the three-yard line on four occasions, but the punch was either lacking or the breaks of the game went against them. —ZZ X -I 1927 [ Page One Hundred and Twenty-six XIZTX AGHIAPP B- ST H.

LOUISIANA COLLEGE Tech broke a two-year-old scoreless tie by defeating the Wildcats of Louisiana College 28 to 0 on Thanksgiving Day in the final game of the season. The contest was staged on Tech field. The Wildcats came to Ruston with a highly vaunted passing attack and a fair defense. They had scored on every opponent faced in their previous games, using their passes mostly. However, Tech gave Louisi¬ ana College a few pointers on the passing game by completing nine passes out of ten attempted, seven of the heaves being completed in succession. At the same time, the Louisiana College team failed to complete a single pass, and made only three first downs while Tech was plunging the line and dashing off-tackle for twenty-two. Not once did the Wildcats possess the oval in Bulldog territory. Willis led in scoring for Tech with sixteen points to his credit. He crossed the goal line twice with the oval tucked safely under his arm and added the points after each of the four touchdowns.

They did not have a startling winning percentage but they did much toward producing the best varsity team that Tech has boasted of in many years. Coach L. J. Fox’s charges were called on to furnish the opposition for their older brothers each week during the practice scrimmages and while the treatment which they received at the hands of the Bulldogs left them in poor shape for a number of their own contests they were always willing to come back for more when called upon by Coach Wilson. The Pups were captained by Gale Burnham, plunging fullback, from Homer. Under his leader¬ ship and Coach Fox’s tutelage they developed a strong defense and offense, and graduated a crop of men who should be battling a number of the lettermen who will return this fall for their regular berths on the varsity.

In all games the Bull¬ dogs won thirteen out of twenty played; in S. I. A. A. competition they won thirteen and lost but five; and in S. I. A. A. games against Louisiana teams they won eight and were defeated but twice. This latter achievement gave them the right to represent Louisiana in the basketball tournament in South Carolina. It also gave them the right to the Louis¬ iana division title of the conference. After getting off to a depressing start the Tech quintet hit its true stride. The Bulldogs were defeated decisively by Louisiana Normal once and Louisiana College twice ere they Brick were able to register a 30 to 19 vic¬ tory over Southwestern. This win was followed with another triumph over the same team, the score being 33 to 28. The Bulldogs then took the Millsaps Majors into camp with an easily reg¬ istered 45. to 27 victory, but in the second game the Majors surprised the Bulldogs and the canine lot came out on the short end of a 39 to 28 count. The Mississippi College Choctaws, champions of the S. I. A. A., were then introduced to Tech fandom when the Bulldogs defeated them in both encounters of a two-game set in the Tech gym. The count in the first engagement was close, 29 to 27, but the second straight Bulldog victory i9£7 mxi Page One Hundred and Thirty 1LAGNIA PPE I- sweep of two games against the Mill- saps Majors. The first win was an easy victory, the count favoring Tech 53 to 23, but the second tilt was close, this time being only 36 to 31. On their return to Tech gym the Techmen were pitted against the Louisiana College Wildcats, then lead¬ ing the conference teams of the state. The Wildcats had dropped but one game in Louisiana as compared to two losses for the Bulldogs. To win the S. I. A. A. championship Tech needed a double win over its feline opponents, and the Red and Blue team killed Louisiana College’s championship as¬ pirations by administering 29 to 17 and 33 to 31 drubbings to Walden’s outfit from Pineville. over the Choctaw tribe was decisive, 41 to 33. The Bulldogs were then called into action against their ancient rivals, the Centenary Gentlemen, and de¬ feated the Gents in both of a two- game series. In the initial game the Techmen turned in a smothering 43 to 19 win, while in the second tilt they humiliated the Gents by admin¬ istering a 40 to 12 drubbing. The Wynn-coached machine then be¬ gan its second invasion of the camps of the other conference teams, this time going into Mississippi for four games. Mississippi College handed Tech a double beating, winning the first game 42 to 26 and the second by the close count of 36 to 34.

The first year men duplicated the feat of the varsity in taking four games in a row from their rivals representing Centenary and also gaining an even break against the Normal Frosh. In addition to these the best high school teams of this section of the state fell victims to Coach L. J. Fox’s machine. Among the high school teams defeated were Oak Ridge, Bienville, Summerfield, Monroe, Farmer- ville, Quitman, Downsville and Ruston. The usual starting lineup of the Pups consisted of Wise, Guy or Frickie, forwards; Savoy, center; Durbin and Patterson, guards. These men are expected to make their older brothers hustle to hold their places on Tech’s state championship S. I. A. A. team when another cage season rolls around.

Robinson 1927 [ Page One Hundred and Thirty-three ILAGHIAPPEt VARSITY The team that carried the colors of Louisiana Tech on the baseball field in 1926 was one of which the school and the student body is justly proud. Winning seventeen games and losing but five is a feat accom¬ plished by very few colleges. The Bulldogs triumphed twelve times in S. I. A. A. competition and were defeated on but three occasions. Although Jack Bagwell was the losing pitcher in three battles, he was con¬ sidered the ace of the Bulldog hurling corps. Herbert “Cap” Files had the best average in the won and lost column, winning six contests and be¬ ing defeated in but one start. Harley Le ty Boss, who usually performs a f hrst base, also lost but one game. Bagwell led the squad in hi He averaged .423 with the bat. and Ratcliffe pressed Bagwell for the swatting honors. DeWitt “Peru” Caruthers hit for the circuit six times to carry off hon¬ ors in the number of home runs. Goodwyne “Honey Boy” Courtney swiped ten sacks in the twenty-three games to become the base-stealing champion of the canine lot. The season opened on the home lot on March 19, the Techmen defeating Louisiana Normal. While Jack Bag- well was holding the enemy well in hand his mates were pounding the Demons for fifteen hits and a 13 to 1 victory. On the following day the Bulldog infield made errors galore and it was a last-minute rally that enabled “Lefty” Boss and his mates to score an 8 to 7 win over the De¬ mons, sweeping the series. 1927 r K ZX BASEBALL Page One Hundred and Thirty-four ZZX - ILAGMAPPEt The next series called the Bulldog into action against its ancient rival, the Centenary Gentleman. On April 9 Bagwell registered an 8 to 5 win over the Gents, and on the following day Files scored a 9 to 6 triumph. The games were played in Shreveport. On April 22 the Tech team beat Southwestern 11 to 1, Bagwell and Boss doing the hurling for Tech. The second game of the series was rained out. The scene of hostilities was Lafayette, La. On their way home the Techmen stopped at Pineville and copped two more games from Louisiana College. Files credited himself with a 4 to 1 victory over the Wildcats on April 23, and Boss went to the mound the next day to beat the enemy 11 to 0. This On March 24, the Techmen rang up another victory when they downed Millsaps by a count of 8 to 3. The game was played in Jackson, and Jack Bagwell scored his second triumph in as many starts. The sec¬ ond game was rained out. On the following day the Bulldogs received their first beating of the season, losing to Mississippi College by a 13 to 5 score. Rain prevented the playing of the second game. On April 2, the Bulldogs returned to their kennel to register a shutout over Louisiana College. Jack Bag- well pitched himself into college baseball’s fame by holding the Wild¬ cats hitless and runless while his mates were scoring eleven runs. On the following day Files started his first game of the season and again the Cats were beaten, the count being 8 to 0. %C3T-Z1 1927 Page One Hundred and Thirty-five ILAGH1APPEI z=2z= Rame marked the fourth straight that Tech had won from Louisiana College, the Wildcats having scored but one run in thirty-six innings of play. The following week sent the Bull¬ dogs into a title series. In the first game of the series with the Choctaws of Mississippi College the Tech squad scored a 4 to 3 win, and tied the sea¬ son’s standing, at one all. The fol¬ lowing day Files went to the mound and put Tech one up on the tribe by pitching his mates to a 10 to 4 triumph. In the final game the Bull¬ dog team blew up and were swamped 15 to 1, allowing the season’s stand¬ ing to end at two wins and as many defeats, and also leaving the confer¬ ence title unawarded. Having been defeated in both of a two-game series in Shreveport, the Centenary Gentlemen came to Ruston on May 7, and with the Tech team still suffering from the Choctaw se¬ ries, scored a 9 to 2 victory. In the second game of the second series be¬ tween Gents and Bulldogs, “Cap” Files came to the rescue. In addition to pitching a superb brand of ball he hit two home runs, the second circuit blow coming in the ninth inning to give Tech a 4 to 3 triumph over the Gentlemen, and a margin o f three games to one for the season. The College of the Ozarks had just been crowned the collegiate diamond champions of Arkansas and with Tech in line for the Louisiana title were anxious to triumph in the three game series. In the first encounter the Ozarks team was repulsed by a score of 10 to 6. On the second day, May Page One Hundred and Thirty-six ]LAGNIAPPE I- 13, Tech won the second straight from the Ozarks team, with Boss in the box, by a 6 to 3 score. On March 14, the Bulldogs swept the series with the Arkansas team by registering a 7 to 5 win. Bagwell let the opposition down with eight hits and fanned six men. Immediately after this series Coach R. C. Kenny went to work with his charges to put them on edge for the three-games set between Tech and L. S. U., which would decide the Col¬ lege champions of Louisiana. The critics had picked Tech to win, but the Bengals had the advantage of playing on their own diamond. The series was opened on May 20. Although they were beaten by a score of 10 to 7, the Bulldogs outhit their opponents. Bagwell, ace of the pitch¬ ing staff, put Tech on even terms with the Tigers on the second day with a 4 to 1 victory. The third game would decide the championship of Louisiana. It was a hectic battle and one that will long be remembered in college baseball history. Boss was chosen to pitch for Tech, while Stov¬ all, the victor in the initial battle, was sent to the mound by the Tigers. L. S. U. scored the only run of the game in the first inning, three hits netting them the lone tally of the game. “Lefty” settled down after the initial chapter and held the Tiger team hitless for the remainder of the game. Two hits, which were widely scattered, failed to net a run for the canine lot. The Bulldogs went down fighting, the bases being loaded when the last man was retired.

Popular with the student body, and with high school experience, she suc¬ ceeded in bringing forth roaring and deafening applauses from the sec¬ tion to encourage the team on the football field, the basketball floor, and the baseball diamond. LEONARD BROOKS Heading Tech’s trio of Cheer Lead¬ ers was Leonard “Snell” Brooks, a man worthy of his position. He was instrumental in the loud “yelling” of the student body throughout the sea¬ son, but his best work was done during the football season. Although “Snell” was lacking in experience he was full of pep, working continually to encour¬ age the ardent Bulldog supporters when the tide was against the team, and always accomplishing his objective.

He was with the team in every game of the season, and was always ready to respond to calls coming from the field. The fact that Dr. Pankey was always willing to put aside his practice in Monroe to be at all games played by Tech makes his service to the Bulldogs obvious.
