TWENTY-SIX FEATURES )) THE QUEEN OF COTTON MILDRED GRAYSON ' HE FOREGOING section was designed to portray through its artistic effect the theme of the 1928 Lagniappe, “The History of the Development of North Louisiana.” The designers of the section have outlined briefly the history of North Louisiana into seven distinct stages: The Caravan Age, in which the idea of the very earliest settlers’ coming into North Louisiana is pictured in the caravan and the first co-ed of the section, a co-ed chosen by artists to represent that age, called “The Caravan Girl.” The Pioneer Age, in which the pioneer clearing the north Louisiana forests, the picturesque log cabin, and the pioneer industry, trapping, is pictured in the second co-ed of the section, “The Pioneer Girl.” The Age of Lumber, in which fallen trees in stately pine forests is represented by the third co-ed of the section, “The Girl of the Limberlost.” The Age of Cotton, in which North Louisiana’s principal agricultural industry is represented by the fourth co-ed of the section, “The Queen of Cotton.” The Modern Age, in which three modern industries of North Louisiana, oil, gas, and the pulp mills, are pictured in the three modern girls, each called, “A Modern Girl.” ’ R 3 THIRTY-FIVE In selecting the types for feature section of Lagniappe from so many beautiful girls , I teas hamp¬ ered by the truth that photographs do not do justice. However , I hope that you and the student body will be pleased with my selection. Best wishes , B. J. LORE. THIRTY-SIX CLASSES BJrm LAGNIAPPE BOOK FOUR REPRESENTS THE CLASSES OF LOUISIANA TECH The dignified and intellectual senior is shown, after graduation, as the capable business man at the head of one of North Louisiana’s modern indus¬ tries, displaying through his executive ability the training which he has re¬ ceived at Tech; the junior is represented by the tugging farmer who has just taken over duties upon which he must exert the greatest effort in order to attain the success of the senior; the sophomore is shown as the indus¬ trious lumber-jack who has not acquired the experience and knowledge of his work as the farmer, the efficient junior, but who, after all, retains suf¬ ficient zeal and ability to assure his ultimate success in the North Louisiana lumber industry; and finally the inexperienced freshman is represented by the pioneer industry, trapping, and the youthful trapper who is about to go into the forests in search of game and success and is not quite so over- zealous in the adventure. The Editors of the 1928 Lagniappe are especially proud of this section of the yearbook in that it not only represents the student body in the height of scholastic success, but that it well represents the theme of the annual in the artistic effect of the division pages—illustrated in: the young trapper and the pioneer industry of trapping; the more experienced lumberman as typical of the later lumber industry; the faithful farmer who has through his own efforts and experience placed the farming industry on a higher plane; and finally, the height of modern industry in this section of the state, as illustrated in the capable manager of the modern business firm.

The special aim and ideal of Pi Gamma Mu is the encouragement of the study of society and social problems by the scientific method and in the light of scientific truth, first on the part of the college men and women and then through them, on the part of society as a whole. Its motto is: “Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.” The purpose is not to add appreciably to the list of so-called, “student activities,” which distract the student ' s attention from the main business of college life, but rather to reinforce and vitalize that work insofar as it relates to social study.

NINETY-FOUR LAGNIAPPE THE THATCHER MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY The Thatcher Mathematical Society was organized October 11, 1927, by twenty-five students interested in mathematics. The following officers were elected: President, Ray Johnson; Vice-President, R. L. Bordelon; Secretary and Treasurer, Lorene Dyson. This society was named in honor of the late Mr. G. 0. Thatcher who for a long time was professor of mathematics at this institution. Those interested in organizing this society felt that it should be organized for the following purposes: To promote the teaching of mathematics; to co-ordinate the teaching of mathematics in the various institutions; To encourage specialization of mathematics for those who teach it: To dis¬ courage the teaching of mathematics by those who dislike it; To emphasize the study of mathematics both for its cultural and practical value; To stress the relation of mathematics to the dependent sciences. This society meets every Tuesday during the chapel period. Members Mr. J. L. Hutcheson Fanny A. Ellington Mayfield Anthony Hazel Colvin Uerda Simmons Ray Johnson Mr. R. S. Wynn J. G. Norris J. I.

The new parlors at the dormitory have afforded greater opportunities for the social life of the group. The genuine interest and splendid cooperation of the women students have caused rapid progress in the organization, and the Dean of Women and the House Directors are confident that each year the students will be more capable of assuming the responsibility of making and carrying out the regulations governing the dormitory.

Its membership is inclusive, for upon registration in the college every girl automatically becomes a mem¬ ber. The aims are necessarily 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 interests and creat¬ ing 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. Three projects have been under¬ taken thus far: The first, the making of an attractive rest room; the second, the creating of a student loan fund; the third, the publication of a hand book.

ONE HUNDRED FIVE HE socializing effects of activities on the college cam¬ pus are a tremendous force in the life of the student body. Many organizations, fraternities and dramatic clubs, honorary societies and publications fit into their place to help make a successful college. Tech is fortunate in having a number and variety of activities, all of which have been pictured in the preceding section. Every student upon entering Tech has an opportunity to align himself with the activity in which he can best develop his talents that nature has bestowed upon him. A student who goes through four years of college without having been active in at least one principal organization on the campus has failed to develop an important side of his college education, and has cheated himself in the long run. Tech is proud of the fact that she presents, to every student who enters her halls, the best and most well-rounded edu¬ cation that can be secured in the state of Louisiana.

Company ATHLETIG HUGH E. (GOB) WILSON Director of Athletics As director of athletics for the past two years Coach Hugh E. “Gob , ’Wilson and his staff of coaches have produced some well balanced teams. The most notable feat of Wilson’s career as Director of Athletics is the building of a spacious, adequate field for baseball, football, track, and tennis. The grounds embrace two football fields, one for practice and one for the games, a baseball diamond, tennis courts, a quarter-mile cinder track and a two hundred and twenty-yard straightway track for the dashes, in addition to the equipment for the various field events. The gynTnasium has been remodeled, now recognized as the best in Louisiana. —— 3 u lirmri fy) rr as? ONE HUNDRED FOURTEEN DEDICATION OF THE NEW TECH FIELD EDICATION of the new Tech stadium was held on Homecoming Day, November 5, immediately preceding the Southwestern-Tech foot¬ ball game. Hon. C. Huffman Lewis, prominent attorney of Shreveport and a graduate of Tech, was the main speaker of the afternoon. The dedication consisted of a short program, starting at 2:10 and ending in time for the game at 2:30. The new Tech field, which immediately adjoins the gymnasium, is admirably located, being situated on a high portion of the campus, thus in¬ suring natural drainage. Sub-drainage has been installed, and for that reason it is an easy matter to keep the entire field in perfect condition. Included in this portion of the athletic plant, are a football gridiron with a separate practice field for football; a quarter mile cinder track, with a 220-yard cinder straightaway; and a baseball diamond, entirely sep¬ arate from both gridirons. In addition there is ample room for tennis courts, and these courts will be constructed as soon as it is possible to do so. Jr 11028 us ONE HUNDRED FIFTEEN ETTA GULLEY Serving her second year as cheer leader, Etta proved herself one of the best wor¬ kers Tech has ever had. She was always on hand, giving her best efforts in victory and defeat. She was popula r with the stu¬ dent body and gave to others some of that cheerful spirit, pep and good sports¬ manship of which she had an abundance. Etta will be missed next year, not only by Tech, but by all true fans, for she has been declared one of the best cheer lead¬ ers in the state. CLINTON SANDERS Clinton came to us from the Ruston High School. He showed plenty of pep and was instrumental in the cheering of the student body throughout the year. His best work was done during the basketball season, when, on the resignation of Miss Gulley, he became the leader of the Bulldog Cheering Squad. Clinton’s untiring efforts, his high school experience and his popularity with the students told, and he carried us through the basket-ball season most successfully and bids fair to be one of Tech’s best liked cheer leaders. ONE HUNDRED SIXTEEN XV) U ! 1LAGNIAP PE ONE HUNDRED SEVENTEEN HEAD FOOTBALL COACH HUGH E. WILSON @21 S football coach at Louisiana Tech for two ' y r jL years, “Gob” Wilson produced one winning and one losing team. During his first year the team won five games and lost two, the second won three and lost five. This gives Wilson’s team a total of eight games won and seven lost. It is only justice to him and his men to say that three of the seven games were lost to teams of the Sou¬ thern Conference, namely, Tulane, L. S. U., and Mississippi A M., and two were lost to Cente¬ nary, one of these being dropped to the great undefeated “Gentleman” club of 1927. Wilson is a graduate of the University of Michigan and a protege of Fielding H. (“Hurry Up”) Yost, for twenty-five years director of the Wolverines. ONE HUNDRED EIGHTEEN LAGNIAPPE ED SHIRLING Baseball Coach Whether the baseball club of the 1928 season fares well or not, it can be claimed that Louisiana Tech now has a coach of the first class, a baseball teacher than whom there is none better in the college circles of the entire South. Trained in the Connie Mack school of the great national game, Shirling is a replica of that old master. Though the prospects are far from bright, the men are certain to learn some real inside baseball. Shirling is a graduate of Alabama Polytechnic Institute, generally known as Auburn, where he was three times a mem¬ ber of the All Southern baseball and foot¬ ball teams. After graduation at Auburn Shirling jumped from the campus to the majors where he played with the Philadel¬ phia Athletics of the American League for two seasons, then going to Portland of the Pacific Coast League in a player trade. On the coast he hit well for the first season and part of a second year there but eye trouble, better known as double vision, forced him to give up playing for a posi¬ tion as coach. Fox has been on the athletic staff of Tech longer than any of his colleagues. Coming here in the fall of 1925 as instruct- on in football, basketball, and baseball, he has built some well balanced teams. Fox was a star in basketball and base¬ ball at the University of Georgia, being a member of All Southern honor teams in those sports. He was also a member of the varsity football squad. Fox is a great psychologist, which means no little in the ability of an athletic coach. He is the type of man who under¬ stands the temperament and abilities of each and every member of his club. It has been in the basketball line that the Georgian has been most successful. His charges have always played a game of the snappiest and smartest brand. L. J. FOX Freshman Coach ED SHIRLING Baseball Coach L. J. FOX Freshman Coach ONE HUNDRED NINETEEN Captain HARRELL P. WILLIS Captain HARRELL P. WILLIS ' AL Willis captained the squad in his last year as a Bulldog. He had been a member of the team every year that he was in school. Willis’ selection for the post of honor was justly made. As a leader and as a player he always gave his best efforts. Hal’s most notable feat during his career was one that will live long in the history of football in Louisiana. When a freshman Willis booted the oval a distance of one hundred and five yards on one oc¬ casion against Tulane University. Standing five yards back of his goal line, Hal re¬ ceived the ball, and getting all of his 135 pounds behind his foot, sent the pigskin sailing across the opposing goal line. ONE HUNDRED TWENTY lLA GNIAPPE| f Captain-elect BILL SLAY LAY’S election to the captaincy of the team came as no surprise, ior Bill was considered not only by his teammates but by the majority of the stu¬ dent body as well as the logical choice for the position. By electing Slay, who plays the guard position, the Bulldogs broke a precedent of long years standing, for heretofore a backfield man and not a lineman has been chosen. It is a unique honor that the stocky guard will hold. Captain-elect BILL SLAY QNE HUNDRED TWENTY-ONE | LAGNIAPPE warn Manager MARVIN HAIR Manager MARVIN HAIR When physicians announced the sad news that Marvin “Buster” Hair’s days were over so far as barking football signals were concerned, the diminutive quarterback who had so capably filled a regular position in the Bulldog backfield for two years ac¬ cepted the job of manager of the team. He was with the club at all times, perform¬ ing in such capacities as his position re¬ quired and performing as faithfully and as earnestly in his new role as he had when upholding Tech’s honors on the field of play.

A late rally left Tech on the short side of a 45 to 0 count. Tech surprised Mike Donahue ' s men in the early part of the game by offering stiff opposition. In the first quarter the Tigers were forced to kick from near their own goal line, failing to register a first down. Wilson ' s team was carrying the fight. The second quarter began as the first had started and ended. With five minutes to play before the gun would end the half, one of the Tiger backs tore loose for a long run and the first touchdown of the game. An¬ other touchdown was scored before the five minutes expired. ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-THREE Hugh Prior Nathan Henderson “Short Papa” Kimbell With two of the Bulldogs star linemen not in the game in the second half due to injuries suffered in the first half of the game, the L. S. U. team romped across the goal line frequently. LOUISIANA TECH vs. MISSISSIPPI A. M. Starksville, Miss., October 8 The Mississippi Aggies, playing on a muddy field, defeated Louisiana Tech, 14 to 0, after meeting with stiff resistance from the visiting eleven, that on several occasions had the Aggies in trouble. After an exchange of punts in the first frame, the Aggies took the ball on their thirty yard line and marched down the field for a touchdown using straight line plays for consistent gains. Poopenheimer made the score, and Pickens added the extra point on a plunge through the line. The Aggies came near scoring again in the same frame when they worked the ball to the ten yard line, but a penalty for holding spoiled their chances. Again in the second quarter the farmers plunged down the field on a series of line plays, only to be held for downs. Allon’s punt went out of bounds on the thirty-yard line. Tech passed for ten yards to the Aggie twenty- five-yard line and Boss shot off tackle to the nine-yard line as the half ended. ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FOUR Quitman Long John Yeldell Hardy Willis The second and final Aggie touchdown came in the third quarter. After recovering on Tech ' s thirty-yard line on a fumble, the farmers march¬ ed down to the one-yard line, Papenheimer going over for the score. Pickens added the extra point. Tech put up a strong defense and with Boss and Willis alternating in carrying the ball were dangerous on the offense. Several times they were in striking distance of the goal line but costly fumbles deprived them of possible touchdowns. The Bulldogs were more proficient at passing than were the farmers. Despite a muddy field the Aggies did not make a fumble while the visitors dropped several, the Starksville team recovering the majority of the fumbles. LOUISIANA TECH vs. LOUISIANA NORMAL Natchitoches, October 15 Completely baffling their opponents on practically every turn and successfully breaking up a dangerously executed aerial attack that at times placed the Bulldogs in dire straits, the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs, led by “Lefty” Boss, ran wild over the Louisiana State Normal Demons by a score of 34 to 0. ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE Louie Boss Lamar Ratcliffe “Red” Butler Only once did the opposition show a threatening attack. Coach Wilson used practically every man on his squad in piling up the large score. Coach Prather was unable to use his reserves as the score never permitted substitutions. He sent only thirteen men into the game, two substitu¬ tions being necessary on account of injuries. Tech scored in the first quarter. Straight football put the team in a scoring position. End runs by Captain Willis, criss-cross plays with Rat¬ cliffe and Boss carrying the ball, and off-tackle drives carried the ball to the twenty-yard line, from where the first score was recorded. Captain Willis, taking his position on a regular formation received the ball from center Sharmon, faked to Ratcliffe who dashed off tackle in pretense of carrying the ball, and then handed the oval to “Lefty” Boss, who dashed through the center of the Demon forward wall and sprinted across the goal line without being tackled. Captain Willis held the ball whie Boss left-footed it over the posts for the extra poine. The Bulldogs counted again in the second half on straight line plays and one short pass. Boss scored from the five-yard line and again made the extra point from placement. The half ended with Tech holding a 14 to 0 lead. [LAGNIAPPE mm Gail Burnham Lane Sharman Dennis Peel Coach “Gob” Wilson’s men came back strong in the third period and counted twice. Ratcliffe sneaked through the line once for a touchdown and Boss lunged through center again for a marker. Boss missed goal for the first touchdown and Ratcliffe hit the line for the extra point on the second touchdown. It was in this quarter that the Demons made their threat. A series of short passes carried them to the two-yard line and first down. The Bulldogs held them on four plays, the Demons losing three yards and surrendering the oval on the five-yard line. Willis got off a long punt to end Normal’s only serious attack on the Red Blue goal line. Captain Willis added the last touchdown in the final quarter. He made a wide sweep of the Demons’ left end. LOUISIANA TECH vs. MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE Monroe, La., October 29. The Bulldogs dropped a hard fought 7 to 0 game to the Mississippi College Choctaws in Monroe’s first intercollegiate football contest. The game was played at Forsythe Park, home of the Monroe baseball team of the Cotton States League. The game was witnessed by a large crowd of spectators. Tech was presented a silver cup for the heroic work done by the boys of the college on the levees around the city during the historic flood the preceding spring. Tech got away to a good start when the Choctaws fumbled on their own forty-yard line. The Bulldogs failed to score, being forced to punt. In the second period Tech carried the ball to Mississippi’s ten-yard line, but the punch was lacking. ONE HUNDRED twenty-seven The Choctaws scored their touchdown in the third quarter after recov¬ ering on Tech s thirty-five yard line. Hugh Lee got away around end and ran to the five-yard line where he was tackled by Crane. The Bulldogs, fighting with their backs to the wall, held the Mississippians and took the ball on downs. Captain Willis punted from back of the goal to the forty- yard-line. End runs failed to gain for the Choctaws and Hitt tossed ' a long pass to Lee over the goal line. The extra point was made in the same way. Tech fought desperately in the last half. After carrving the ball to the fifteen-yard mark they attempted to pass over for the needed score. The press highly praised the work of Boss. The school paper of Mississippi College said of him, “The Louisiana boys were led in smashing the forward wall by the herculean “Lefty” Boss. He carried the ball time after time when it seemed that he had already exceeded the possibilities of any human being.” Tech made seven first downs compared to only three for Mississippi College. LOUISIANA TECH vs. SOUTHWESTERN Ruston, November 5 Led by Quitman Long, sophomore halfback playing his first contest as a regular, the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs registered a well-earned 13 to 0 victory over Southwestern Louisiana Institute on Homecoming Day. The new athletic field was formally dedicated before the game. ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-EIGHT Clyde Harper “Arkansas” Robinson “Pat” Savoy The fact that the Bulldogs of Tech made twenty-one first downs to six for the opposing team evidences their superiority over the team from Lafayette. On several occasions Coach Wilson’s charges were in a position to smash through to a touchdown but the breaks of the game were against them. At the opening of the contest Tech held Southwestern on three plays, and they were forced to punt. Kloor’s kick was caught by the wind and got by Captain Willis. It was recovered by Thomas who raced across the goal line with the ball. He was forced to come back, however, and South¬ western took the ball on the ten-yard line. They were held for downs. On the first play Long ripped off twenty-five yards, going out of bounds on the thirty-yard line. On the second play he raced to midfield, but fumbled, Southwestern recovering. The Bulldogs were held in the first quarter although they came within scoring distance several times. In the second period they started a march down the field to the five-yard line. Here “Lefty” Boss took the ball and smashed over center for the first touchdown. The point was blocked. Southwestern played their best ball in the third quarter making three of their first downs in succession soon after the start of the period. They lost the ball in midfield, however, and on the first play Boss dashed through tackle and stepped fifty yards to the goal line without being tackled once. The officials ruled that Tech had been off side and the ball was brought back. The period ended with the Red and Blue in a scoring position. At the start of the last period Captain Hal Willis swept around end for the second touchdown. He held the ball while Boss added the extra point. ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-NINE ONE HUNDRED THIRTY BOB WYNN Basketball Coach In the matter of winning games Bob Wynn has been the most successful of all the Tech coaches. He has a perfect re¬ cord of two winning teams in two years. It is to be remembered that the sport had been nlayed here for only one season prior, to Wynn’s taking up the duties of coach. That team had not had a good year, naturally, and the next season Wynn took charge of the squad and won the right to represent Tech at the S. I. A. A. Tour¬ nament in Charleston, South Carolina. In this his second season he began the year with three letter men, and, after getting of the a poor start, brought the school its second championship of the Louisiana div¬ ision of the S. I. A. A.

Having won the right to represent the State, in which four conference teams play, in the season of 1927, the boys came back bravely and with only three men of a great squad of seven left they fought most valiantly against all odds and pre¬ dictions to win the honor again. The sport had been inaugurated at the college only a short time ago, the first game having been played against the Centenary Gentlemen in the early days of 1926. The honors won on the court are therefore more enviable. Indications arising from the early training pointed to a powerful team. With all of the seven men who had carried the colors of Tech in the championship tournament to be back for play everything was indeed bright. But a most unfortunate occurence in the meantime left Coach Bob Wynn with only three of his stars, Davis, Cole, and Woodard. The season opened unauspiciously. In the first game the Bulldogs were downed by the Centenary Gentlemen. The Tech team had swamped the Gents in four straight the previous year, and things were very gloomy. But the fighting Bulldogs came back in the second game of the series and won out. 1Q28 Si ONE HUNDRED THIRTY-THREE ggr: .CIf 11 - ■ 1 -LA .GNIAPF E 1 Huff Patterson The first road trip of the year was somewhat disastrous. The Tech team dropped the first game to the Millsaps Majors, in Jackson, Miss., by a 37 to 33 score. The series was evened when the Bulldogs won the second contest by a safe margin, the count being 57 to 38. The squad moved over to Clinton, Miss., where they lost a nerve-racking encounter to Mississ¬ ippi College. The score was 44 to 43. The Choctaws were forced into extra minutes of play to win by the single point. On the final night Miss¬ issippi’s great team that won the S. I. A. A. championship later at Chatta¬ nooga hit their stride and piled up a big score. Before playing again at home the Bulldogs made an invasion of the Southern part of the State, sweeping a series with Southwestern and dropping both games to the Louisiana State Tigers. On returning home the club rounded to true form. The stay was opened with Mississippi College in what will long be remembered as the most thrilling game ever played in Tech Gym. The Choctaws held a good lead at the half and through the major part of the last period. When the most ardent Bulldog supporter was ready to give up the Tech team made a great spurt, slowly but surely creeping up on their opponents. Davis’ foul point in the last minute of play knotted the score and extra minutes were necessary. During the five-minute period Hinton looped a goal from long range and Fred Cole made a similar shot. The best the Choctaws could do ONE HUNDRED THIRTY-FOUR urniTmnm “Lefty” Boss Brown Wise was one free toss, scored by Joe Peeler, said to be the best forward in the South. The final score was 49 to 46. The Mississippi team fought valiantly, for they had won twelve games in a row. They ended the sea¬ son with but one defeat against them, that being done by the Bulldogs of Tech. The Choctaws won the final game of the series, 39 to 27. The Millsaps Majors followed their fellow Mississippians into the camp of the Tech Basketeers, being treated rather roughly. The Bulldogs won both games. The scores were 53 to 28 and 41 to 26. The Birmingham Southern Panthers were encountered a week later. The first game was marked by wild scoring. The Bulldogs, led by Davis who counted 32 points, scored a 72 to 41 victory. Coach Wynn used his reserves in the latter part of the game. The Panthers, smarting under the humili ating defeat, played better ball in the final game of the series, though they were ten points short. The score was 33 to 23. In the next game Tech accomplished what had been considered the impossible. They defeated Louisiana Normal 32 to 31 at Natchitoches. It was the first game that the Demons had lost on their home court in five years. The defeat was a serious blow to their champinonship aspir¬ ations. ONE HUNDRED THIRTY-FIVE FRESHMAN BASKETBALL SQUAD AND COACH L. J. FOX Returning home the team found an easy foe in the Arkansas Aggies. Both games were won by decisive scores, 64 to 34, and 66 to 21. The Normal Demons and many of their supporters came to Ruston to avenge their recent and only defeat of the season. They returned home a sadder but wiser group of young men. They had lost the game and learned some tricks about the sport. The season was closed with the Centenary Gentlemen in Shreveport. The two-game series was split, each contest being decided by a single point. The outstanding men of the season were Davis, Cole, and Woodard, who were the only letter men left from the great squad of a year ago. Davis set a great scoring mark. He counted 402 points in the intercolle¬ giate games. Cole was slow in hitting his stride, but the “Chief” played some great games, notably against Louisiana Normal, Mississippi College, and Birmingham Southern. Woodard was in every game, and gave way to a substitute but once. He was hustling and fighting all the way. ONE HUNDRED THIRTY-SIX ONE HUNDRED THIRTY-SEVEN gs 7)1 ‘l l ll ' l| -:|r IIH( s-fc; VGNIAPPElb 5 ™ VFF1 ms nM V ' - JACK BAGWELL Captain Jack Bagwell and Harley “Lefty” Boss jointly captained the baseball team, Bagwell caring for the duties on the road and Boss acting in the position while the team was at home. Due to a tie vote in the selection of a field leader it was decided by the play¬ ers that the two should work together and alternate in directing the play in the field. Bagwell was a pitcher, and a good one. He hurled ’varsity ball for four years, play¬ ing one year before Tech was admitted to the conference. He was the only Tech pitch¬ er of all times to hurl a perfect game, that is, a no-hit, no-run contest. The feat was performed in 1926 when Bagwell was at the peak of his pitching career. Due to his efforts the team won eighteen games out of twenty-two played. But Jack work¬ ed too hard; he pitched his heart out and pitched his arm off. Consequently, he found the going rough the following year, 1927, as the records will show. Boss is the great “kid” first baseman, regarded as the best produced in many years by a Southern college. “Lefty” was the perfect type for a captain. A winning personality, a fiery spirit, a great fielder, a good hitter, an unusual knowledge of “inside” baseball fitted him for the place. Boss was playing his second year with the Bulldogs. After graduation he expects to go into professional baseball. If his work in those ranks is of the same brand as that which he has shown in college, then he is sure to be one of the most sensational of ball players.

Still, the only team to best Tech in a series was their old foe, the Centenary Gen¬ tlemen, claimants to the conference diamond championship, which they de¬ served. The Gents won four straight games from the Bulldogs. Ratcliffe led the team in hitting, besting both Boss and Hardy Willis in the latter part of the season. Jack Bagwell, the only Tech man ever to hurl a perfect game, drove in many runs with timely hits. Jack was looked upon as the mainstay of the hurling staff, but Bagwell had lost the old Lamar Ratcliffe “Chief” Cole Harrel Willis zip from his fast one, his control becoming erratic at times. It was “Lefty” Boss, primarily a first baseman, who developed into the most consistent chunker of the club. Boss, though he knew little about the art of pitch¬ ing, had a great arm that went a long way. In five games he struck out forty batters. He pitched four complete games and acted as relief hurler for a total of nine more innings, or the equivalent of a regular game. He won three of his four contests. The club started the season in great form, winning a double header from the Millsaps Majors in Jackson. The first game had been rained out. The club won the postponed contest and the regularly scheduled game by scores of 3 to 2 for both encounters. Riser caught Zinn in the first game while Courtney handled Gleason in the second. Coach Wilson moved his squad over to Clinton the following day to meet the Mississippi College Choctaws. Bagwell was defeated by a count of 8 to 1 in the first game, but the following day Boss whiffed a dozen of the tribe for a 6 to 2 victory. Opening their home season the team dropped an erratic contest to the Louisiana State Tigers, the game being Boss’ only loss of the season. Hal Willis led the Bulldogs at bat with two doubles in three times at bat. Two games were scheduled, the first being rained out. The second series found gave the Bulldogs their second win of the year in a double header. The first contest with the Southwestern Loui¬ siana Institute team was called off due to wet grounds, and both games were played the following day. Bagwell was a 7 to 3 winner in the first and Zinn gave the Southwestern club four hits in the final for an 8 to 3 win. The stick work of Hardy Willis and “Lefty” Boss and the fielding of “Chief” Cole featured the games. ONE HUNDRED FORTY fijdB LAG NIAPPE H.ggygssr “Booty” Mounger Jimmy Yeldell “Slim” Gleason The Millsaps Majors then came to Tech Field, getting an even break in the series. Boss won his first game, 5 to 4, but the Majors benefited by numerous errors the second day and won, 5 to 1. All of the opposition’s runs were scored in the sixth inning on two base hits. Rat cliffe’s drive over the left fence saved Tech from a shutout. After the Majors came the Centenary Gentlemen with base blows in their bats. Ten hits and eleven errors gave the Gents a 10 to 4 margin the first day, while seventeen hits and nine errors got them a 16 to 8 win in the last of the series. The Bulldogs then moved over to Shreveport, where the Gents won In the first Centenary made eleven bingles count for fifteen runs com¬ pared to nine hits and two runs for Tech. The Gents made a clean sweep of the series on the final day with an 11 to 5 win. Tech had won the honors the previous year, winning three of the four games. Meeting the Louisiana Normal Demons on foreign soil in the last of the series the team met unexpected opposition and dropped the first of the series, 5 to 1. On the second day Boss’s southpaw shoots made the Demons dance and Tech came back with a 10 to 0 win. In justice to the team is must be pointed out that the second base combination, Hansley at second and Hal Willis at short stop, was broken up during mid-season when the team had a winning average of six games won and three lost. Five of the following games were dropped, and the trouble can be traced to the second base combination. Had competent in¬ fielders been on hand to fill the shoes of “Hinie” Hensley and Hal Willis the season might have been successful.

J. Fox ' s yearling team wound its season up with six vic¬ tories and four losses, scoring wins over the Centenary Freshmen and some of the strongest prep school teams in the state. Among the strong high school teams were the State champion Shreveport Yellow Jackets. Durbin was the champion swatter of the team, having batted .522 for the season. Simmons placed second with an everage of .412, with Guy and Frickey close on his heels for second place honors. The Pup pitching staff was led by Donald, southpaw hurler. Donald won three games and lost one. Burnham won one game out of one pitched, while Nicholson dropped three out of four. Should all of these men return for the next season, prospects for a winning varsity team should be bright. ONE HUNDRED FORTY-TWO ONE HUNDRED FORTY-THREE ERNEST SHIRLEY Track Coach Great has been the success of the for¬ mer L. S. U. Tiger in inaugurating the track sport at Louisiana Tech. Not only has he put the sport in the limelight here but he has made a showing of developing power¬ ful teams in the future. The season of 1927 was Shirley’s first at Louisiana Tech. Without an experienced man on his squad he made a very credit¬ able showing in the two meets in which the Bulldog cinder hopes participated. For 1928 a good stiff schedule has been mapped out, and Shirley is depending on such men as Yeldell, Lowery, Jackson, Pat¬ terson, Peel, Sheppard, Carlton, and Coates to bring the school some victories. While at Louisiana State, Shirley once captained the Tiger team. He was regarded as the best track man in the Southern In¬ tercollegiate Conference. Two of his re¬ cords still stand, even in this day of frequent breaking of records. Big Jim Yeldell will hold a coveted hon¬ or as track captain of the 1928 team. He will be the “first captain of the first team.” This year’s squad went through the season without a captain. Since the boys were out to learn something of the game before attempting to win honors their campaign could hardly be called a season. They par- itcipated in two meets, the Southwestern Relays and a dual meet with Southwestern Louisiana Institute. Captain-elect JIM YELDELL ONE HUNDRED FORTY-FOUft MARION LOWERY DENNIS PEEL GLENN McCASLAND MARION LOWERY Marion Lowery is the most promising of all the Bulldog track men. His specialty events are the high and low hurdles. In practice this year he has made some good times. In the Southwestern Relays his time in the high hurdles bested that of the Southern Conference Cham¬ pion. DENNIS PEEL Peel, like all of the other candidates, was “green ma¬ terial.” His event is the 440 yard dash. Peel has the speed and when Coach Shirley has taught him some of the finer points of the game he will be a sure winner. GLENN McCASLAND “Stiffy,” who had won honors on the football field, was another of the boys out to learn something about the track sport. McCasland is being trained for the dashes. ONE HUNDRED FORTY-FIVE : • - . . i LAG ' NIAPPEF A. JACKSON ED COX CLIFFORD WOODARD A. JACKSON “Nub” Jackson was the on¬ ly man on the squad who had previous experience. As a member of the Winnfield high school team he had help¬ ed that school to win a North Louisiana track and field championship. He is a dis¬ tance runner. ED COX Ed was one if Shirley’s most promising men. He will bring Tech first places next year in the 100-yard dash. CLIFFORD WOODARD Determined to make him¬ self more than a “one sport man,” Woodard answered Coach Shirley’s call for track practice. He did well in the broad jump, doing around twenty-one feet consistently. With experience he should be of value on the track as well as on the basketball floor. ONE HUNDRED FORTY-SI t J -Or LAGNIAPre| SCfiESSaS GEORGE STRICKLER JIM YELDELL GEORGE STRICKLER Without any previous ex¬ perience as a pole vaulter, “Chink” developed into a for¬ midable foe, capable of offer¬ ing opposition to the average college vaulter. He is a hard worker, and responds favor¬ ably to coaching. For that reason he should be a great track man. JIM YELDELL Jim Yeldell probably has as much natural ability as any man who ever picked up a discus. Jim was handicap¬ ped by not having had any experience in high school, but he started off good and im¬ proved remarkably each day. His coach expects him to hand up a new S. I. A. A. record in the discus next year when he will captain the team. ONE HUNDRED FORTY-SEVEN CARLTON A. R. EATON CARLTON A. R. EATON “Shorty” Carlton, though not apt to be a record break¬ er, may develop into a valu¬ able man. Possessing good speed and the will to win, Carlton is qualified for an excellent track man. In the 220-yard dash Eaton worked hard and faithfully to perfect himself and bring honors to Tech on the cin¬ der path. By continuing his earnest efforts he will be a hard man to beat in his e- vent by the time the 1928 season rolls around. ONE HUNDRED FORTY-EIGHT CO. Compliments of T. L.
