LIBRARY Louisiana Polytechnic Institute EX LIBR1S c c TP[p LAGNIAPPE PUBLISHED ANNUALLY BY THE STUDENTS OF LOUISIANA TECH RUSTON, LA. “A mighty Hand, from an exhaustless Urn, Pours forth the never ending Flood of years, Among the nations ” This one year in the mighty Hand of time has constantly shifted its players and scenery. In these pages we have tried to portray one ebb in the great flood of years the college year of 1930. ( There are those who toil, And they who strive, and they who feast, and they Who hurry to and fro.” If we have given one of them a memory which is dear, then our efforts have not been in vain. Dedication The School Classes Activities Athletics Features Because of his high ideals for nobler things in life , Because he passed these ideals on to the Spirit of Tech, And because, we appreciate what he has brought to us, We dedicate the 1930 Lagniappe to President Qeorge i W. ®ond Our cAlma oTlfiater “Beautiful City! so venerable, so lovely, so un- ravayed by the fierce intellectual life of our century, so serene! “There are our young barbarians, all at play!” And yet, steeped in sentiment as she lies, spreading her gardens to the moonlight, and whispering from her towers the last enchantments of the Middle age, who will deny that Osford, by her ineffable charm keeps ever calling us nearer to the true goal of all of us, to the ideal, to perfection—to beauty, in a word, which is only truth seen from another side. —Matthew Arnald. ff 0h, c ech, c hy Stalls So Beautiful” liir «wMMmiiRiiiPi Mr WJii! nC ohy Pleasant Walks , hy Js(pble trees’’ Rohat Qharrru, eTYCe In ' fM.y follege ‘D ays” % Cherished In dJ)Hy dMemory” LAGN1APPE ADMINISTRATION A BOND, GEORGE W.

Historian HISTORY Shakespeare has said that the world is a stage, and the men and women are the players. To us, the Senior class of 1930, Louisiana Tech has been our world, our stage for the last four years. On this stage we have presented a four act play; each act has been a college year in length. The actors have been the members of our class. Some of us have played minor roles while others have taken the major parts. Working together in beauti¬ ful harmony, we have striven to make our play the best ever staged at Louisiana Tech. In September, 1926, the curtains parted to disclose the first act of our play— the Freshman act. In spite of the fact that we were young, green amateurs, we skillfully selected our main characters. The principal roie wars played by Lanier Thompson, president. Each played his part in a commendable way. In June, 1927, the curtains were drawn again. After an interlude of three months, a more experienced group began the second act—the Sophomore one—, and so on throughout our Junior and Senior years. Playing the leading parts the second year were Davidson Brown, Presi¬ dent; Denis Noah, Vice President; Eugenia Sentell, Secretary-Treasurer. Leading the Juniors were Bernice Hemler. president: “Lit” Haley, vic° president; Ernes¬ tine Elder, secretary-treasurer. This year we have Margaret Rainwater, president; Bernice Hemler, vice president; “Lit” Haley, secretary-treasurer. Playing opposite our class officers were such notable actors and actresses as “Dodo” Stewart, Robert Dubose, Dennis Peel, Berry Hinton, and Quitman Long. It seemed impossible that such joys, pleasures, and sorrows could be included in one play. Never did such actors and actresses take such an interest in the drama of college life as did those of our class. With eyes brimming and deter minded smiles on our faces, we lift our voices in song: “Oh Tech, thy halls so beautiful Thy pleasant walks and noble trees — The curtain fell, and the drama ended May 29, 1930. —Margaret Hedrick, Historian.

LAG N IAPPE cZAlong theis TjOay There was a narrow strip of road— It lead through hazy fogs And straining arms of briars That caught and clung And held us tight. We came to a tiny bridge Covered and walled with books There was a green placard above W ith a sign that said, ‘‘You’re fresh! The road widened here; There was a flower In a little bit of grass That showed up bright and clear. The fog lifted, and out of the night-light darkness The sun shone through As we came to a second bridge, Wider now, and brighter With a rosy pinkish tinge And a rose-covered wall, As I read ‘‘You’re wise! You’re a soph!” —Doris Taylor r LAGNIAPPE A JUNIORS L. 1 •£ -3 • O 7 George Williams Gordon Weakley Ella 3Iae Jolley Margaret TV 11 son OFFICERS George Williams . President Gordon Weakley . Vice President Ella Mae Jolley . Secretary and Treasurer Margaret Wilson . Historian HISTORY Rattle, chug, chug, rattle, squeak, bang! Here we come! One yank at the emer¬ gency brake, a quick skid of tires, and then we all tumble out the sides and top ' of “Alexander the Great.’’ Here we are, folks! Here we are. G’mon and give fifteen big ones for the Juniors! This is our third stop on our way to our degrees since we started off in the fall term of 1927. Maybe there are some things you haven’t heard about the Juniors. Do you know just who we are? After the first lap of our journey which ended our Freshman year, we suf¬ fered a loss of about fifty students. Among those missing was our Freshman President, Sally Holestein. To start the second part of the journey we set about justify our existence on the campus. As individuals we lead and participated in many school activities and as a group we won honors in many interclass sports and contests. The third year of our trip we entered the most important part of our college days. As juniors we took upon ourselves the responsibility of looking after the Freshmen, advising the Sophomores, and meditating over the actions of the Seniors. George Williams, as our president for two years, lead the class quite efficiently in this. Then, there’s Ella Mae Jolley—she’s George’s right hand woman —and Weakley who is vice president. We mustn’t forget our features contest winner, Ella Lee Jackson, Ella Mae Jolly, Dalis Goss, and our president, nor our athletes. What would Tech have done without Sheppherd as a track star, and Weakley who was named an all southern basketball guard this year. To do something worth while for Tech we have started a memorial fund, and have saved fifty dollars since our sophomore year. Oh, goodness! hear that honk, honk? That’s “Alexander’’ calling us. Come on and load in, Juniors. We’ve only a little ways to go before we reach Senior- ville. Pile in. Now it’s rattle, chug, chug, rattle, squeak, bang. Here we go. Who? The Juniors. —Margaret Wilson, Historian.

From north and south, east and west the sons and daughters of Louisiana gathered here, com¬ ing in trains, buses, and in “Collegiate” fords. (If I remember correctly, I didn’t see anyone step from a limousine and order “Home James.” There were those who were meeting old friends and who seemed to be enjoying themselves im¬ mensely. But . . . we poor freshmen! With our best high school manners and our wise cracks hooted at or disregarded altogether, what else was there to do but stand back and wish for Mama and Dad? We were soon to learn, however, that upperclassmen had not forgotten their freshman days, and we were given a party in the Women’s Gymnasium. My,— what a party! I can see L. C. Curry meowing. (He was in the “Cat” division). We were given a tea in the President’s home by the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A., and before many days felt more at ease. Registration day came. “What are we to do?” Who is going to tell us what to take?” “Which is the Academic building?” These were some of the ques¬ tions. We were lost in a forest of signs, “TO THE DEAN OF MEN,” “TO THE DEAN OF WOMEN,” “TO THE REGISTRAR,” “TREASURER’S OFFICE.” It wouldn’t be history to leave out the celebrated pajama parade, and the hobo parade. These took place on the day of the first football game and on Homecoming day. The president of our class was L. C. Curry. Hick Files was secretary and Miss “Dot” Roberts was representative. Verily, verily, I say unto you, wide is the road that leads to the trials and tribulations of a “freshie and many are the tears shed thereon; but great is the sport and merriment of the second year student to which all aspire.” September 16, 1929, we cai.. 1 flocking back to the hill. Wise sophs!—poor frosh! We knew everything and told it all wrong. The annual pajama hobo parades were held, with us supervising them. “Fanny” Mangham is president, “Tip” Tipton, vice president, and Howard McCarty is Secretary. We have had, so far, lots of fun as sophs and expect to have more as Juniors. —Sibyl Green, Historian. ALEXANDRIA, NARTIS Hilly English-Foreign Language ALLBROOK, ETTA L.

Historian HISTORY In the early days of September, 1929, a tribe, three hundred strong, known as high school graduates migrated to Louisiana Tech. They represented many races from many parts of the country. Every one of them had the same reason for ending his or her pilgrimage at Tech. Since their life work and ambition was centered about the upbuilding of their personal efficiency, their search came to a satisfactory end when they discovered this institution of knowledge. This new tribe was given the name of “Freshman’’ by an older race in this school. The “Upperclassmen,” through special representatives, succeeded in mak¬ ing these freshmen realize the importance of obeying all rules. Immediately, this young tribe realized the importance of organization. The result was, that on September 21, they met and selected three members to head their organization, a chief, Tom Jones, a sub-chief, James Davis, and a business Chief, Margery Jones. When the upperclassmen were forced to invade Centenary, the Freshmen were there with plenty of support, and bells on. Later, both races were attacked by a barbarious tribe of the north, known as the faculty. This vicious tribe used a deadly weapon, called examination, to exterminate their enemies. Many warriors from both tribes were seriously injured. In fact, it required some of them as much as six months to recuperate. Another important force worthy of mention, was the Tech spirit. This spirit may be defined as a struggle for bigger and better things, such as rnorle vivict friendships, personal, intellectual and physical attainments and a great urge for truth, honesty and justice. There are also several noteworthy activities that the freshmen performed as a unit. Their four black-faced comedians won first place in the contest held on stunt night. The freshmen football team marked an epic in Tech’s football history as one of the cleanest and hardest fighting teams this institution has ever had. Throughout their activities in this school the freshmen have distinguished them¬ selves by their exceptional ability. They are all eager to help the future immi¬ grants to Tech become better men and women. Such is the history of the fresh¬ men of 1929-1930. —Elmo Hutchison, Historian.

F. A. “TOD” ROCKWELL Head Coach Clinton Sanders, Theodosia Stewart, L. C. Curry, Beth Sentell. Cheering quad Ciinton came to Tech in 1927. His experience in cheer-leading at Huston High School aided him in soon becoming one of the best in school. He was out of school in 1928, but in 1929, when he returned he was elected assistant cheer leader. He was valuable in keeping school spirit high during the season. This was Dodo’s second year as head cheer-leader at Tech. Her good work throughout her first year caused the students to choose her the second year as their yell-leader. Because of her popularity she has the support of the whole student body and they obey her orders in the best of spirits. She never quits. Curry, a sophomore, was elected as head cheer leader for men because of his good work while a freshman last year. The way he led yells during his freshman year was great, and he bettered his reputation this year. Currey takes part in basketball, so he does not get a chance to lead during these games, but he makes up for it by his work during football season. Beth Sentell, a freshman, did good work as a cheer leader during her first college year. She was always working, and as peppy as anybody on the cheering squad. COACH F. A. ROCKWELL Director of Athletics Coach F. A. “Tod” Rockwell graduated from the Uni¬ versity of Michigan, June, ’25; Athletic Director and Head Coach at Salem College of West Virginia during ’25, ’26; University of North Dakota, ’26, ’27; Head Football Coach and Assistant Professor of Physical Education, University of North Dakota, ’27, ’28; since then Director of Athletics and Physical Education at Louisiana Tech. VARSITY FOOTBALL SQUAD Review of the Season Before time to report for football practice early in September, the outlook for Tech was exceedingly bright. Only two men of the 1928 Bulldog machine had been lost by graduation. Added to that list of lettermen who were expected to report was Harold Wise, stellar performer on the 1927 Bulldog eleven. When time to call the roll came, however, Pat Patterson, Pat Savoie, “Skeets” Coates and Berry Hinton were missing in addition to the two men lost by grad- nation. Considering the loss of these men, the Tech season cannot be called a failure. In fact, it was very bright for those who see into the near future. The 1928 Freshmen eleven came to the rescue with a flock of fine ball players, as many as seven of whom started some of the games later in the season. 1 hese boys had no experience in varsity college ball when they began to play as regulars. Maroney, Mangham, Yeldell, Wheelus, Gilbert, Baker, Moffett and Heard all played good football for Tech and all are expected to make a great name for themselves in future years on Tech soil. The cjuintet of Maroney, Mangham, Gilbert, Baker and Moffett have probably the brightest outlook for future success of any men who have reported to Tech in a long time. Swayze, Riser, Gatlin, A. Baker, Pietsch, Bolen, Wise, and Terry, all played fine ball and their presence in the line-up was no good news to the opponents. Four of Tech’s regulars wiil be missing from the 1930 edition of the Bulldog eleven due to graduation. These men are Gale Burnham, 1929 captain, Dennis Peel, alternate captain, Nathan Henderson, and Quitman Long. Of the twenty Bulldogs who lettered, eleven received the “T” for the first time, which indicates that Tech should have one of the best teams in several years, when the 1930 season is under way. Captain Gale Burnham Johnnie Moffett George “Jigger’ ' Kiser “Captain-elect Tech won its first game of the season by a score of 21 to 12 from Clark College. The line-up for Tech was composed of veterans, with the exception of Spring at tackle, and Heard at end. The Bulldogs played very poor hall throughout the first half. It seemed as though they could not get going. During the second half Coach Rockwell sent in his all-sopho¬ more backfield combination, composed cf Moffett, Mangham, Maroney and Boh Baker. After these substitutions were made, Clark started a passing attack. They had worked the ball well into Tech territory when Bob Baker intercepted a pass, and behind good interference, ran seventy-five yards for Tech’s first touchdown. The extra point was made through the line by Maroney. This put Tech in the lead, 7 to 6, Clark having scored early in the third quarter. Immediately after the kick-off Clark scored an¬ other touchdown but failed to make the extra point, giving them a 12 to 7 lead. Tech received the ball, after Clark had scored. Tearing the line to shreds, Maroney, halfback, scored Tech’s second touchdown soon after. He added the extra point by a line plunge. Tech 14; Clarke 12. In the fourth period, with Mangham and Maroney making long gains on off-tackle plays, Tech scored its last touchdown. Maroney carried the ball over and added the extra point through the line. The game ended with the score, 21 to 12, in favor of Tech. On October 11, th e Bulldogs traveled to Magnolia, Arkansas, to play Magnolia A. and M. College. In this game Tech ran into unexpected strength. Coupled with this, many penalties kept Tech from showing as well as expected. Tech kicked off to Magnolia and after failing to gain on two plays the Arkansas College attempted to punt out of danger. A Bulldog blocked the punt, but on the first play Tech fumbled and A. and M. re¬ covered. Aided by severe penalties, the Aggies carried the ball deep into Tech territory. Here the ball re¬ mained for the greater part of the first half. Tfathan “ ate” Henderson Failing to gain a touchdown through the line or around end. Magnolia attempted to pass its way into the promised land. Gilbert, playing halfback, inter¬ cepted one of these and was not tackled until he had stepped out of bounds on the Aggies’ two-yard line. Four desperate attempts to put the ball over failed and the ball was again in the hands of the opposition. Short gains coupled with substantial penalties on three consecutive plays soon brought the ball into midfield. The half ended with a scoreless tie. Soon after the second half opened, Magnolia, on a series of line plays, mixed with passes, scored the first touchdown of the game. An attempt to make the extra point failed. Tech received the ball and soon ad¬ vanced it to the fifteen yard line. Failing to gain from here on three plays, Gilbert passed to Moffett on the five-yard line. The ball was called back, however Tech was penalized for roughness and A. and M. given the ball. After two plays through the line failed to net any yardage, the Aggies punted. Tech ran two plays through the line. Then Maroney threw a pass to Wise, end, who dodged his way to the line. Tech 6; A. and M. G. On October 19, the Bulldogs journey to El Dor¬ ado, Arkansas, to meet the strong Ouachita College Tigers of Arkadelphia, Arkansas. The first half of the contest was featured by a punting duel, Tech having a slight advantage. Ouachita was forced to punt from behind her own goal line on several occasions. On the fifteen yard line, when they punted one time. Berry Yeldell broke through and blocked the kick. Tech failed to make a first down by six inches and had missed a good opportunity to score. The second half opened with Tech kicking to Ouachita. Tech recovered a fumble on Ouachita’s 18- yard line. From here Mangham and Baker tried the line but without much success. Then Baker passed to Mangham who was tackled on the six- yard line. Mang¬ ham carried the ball over the mark from here on a line play Gilbert place-kicked the goal and the Bulldogs led by a score of 7 to 0. E. “Sonny” Maroney “Bol ” Baker Harold Wise “Fanny Maugham The second and final touchdown was made early in the fourth quarter when Baker passed from the forty-yard line over the goal line to Henderson. The attempt to make the extra point failed. Bennie Swazye After winning from the stubborn Ouachita College eleven the Bulldogs traveled to the State capitol to play Louisiana State University, strong Southern Con¬ ference eleven. During the first half the Bulldogs put up a good fight, the period ending with Louisiana State, 21; Tech 7. In the second half Tech’s lack of reserve material began to tell on her and as time wore on the down- state squad increased their lead more rapidly. Tech put up a valiant fight but was unable to successfully check the onslaught of the Tigers. The final score was 53 to 7. Tech’s lone counter came in the second quarter. Maroney intercepted a pass and with two passes, two penalties and two line plunges the ball was put on the Tigers’ five yard line from which Maroney carried it over in three plays. Gilbert successfully place-kicked the goal. Tech made nine first downs while L. S.i U. was making ten, but the L. S. U. runs were longer, and counted for more than those turned in by Tech. On November 2, the Demons, traditional foes of Canines from Louisiana State Normal, came to Huston to engage in battle with Tech. The game was played most of the time in a drenching rain and the field was terribly muddy to begin with as a result of two days intermittent raining prior to the game. The game ended in a scoreless tie. Twice in the first half the Bulldogs carried the ball deep into Demon territory but neither time were they able to carry it past the last white stripe. Poor punts, due to a slippery ball, and straight line plays featured the first half. In the second half, Normal opened their passing attack. The air was full of passes for a time and the Demons advanced deep into Tech’s territory. On the five-yard line the Bulldogs braced and Normal’s stren¬ uous efforts to score amounted to nothing. Tech led the Demons in first downs, 6 to 5. Hall Terry On November 9, Coach Rockwell and his team found themselves beyond the great muddy stream play¬ ing the strong Millsaps Majors. They fought hard and gained a 6 to 6 tie with their traditional foes from Mis¬ sissippi. The game started off with Tech kicking the ball to Millsaps. A series of penalties and two long passes put the ball on Tech’s three-yard line from where it was carried over for a touchdown. Tech received the kick-off and started down the field on a series of line plays with Long doing most of the ball carrying. This march ended on the five- yard line when one of Tech’s passes was intercepted. After this the remainder of the first half was played in midfield with neither side gaining much of an advantage over the other. Millsaps started the second half off with a dazz¬ ling passing attack. Here the big thrill came. Long intercepted one of the Major’s passes on his own forty- yard line and ran sixty yards through the entire Millsaps team for Tech’s lone counter. In this game, Tech’s line showed superior power and the air was the only route that the Majors could advance by with any appreciable success. After Long’s run the game was played mostly in midfield, with punts being exchanged frequently. Neither side could gain much advantage and the game ended with the ball in Millsaps’ possession on her own 40-yard line. On November 15, the Bulldogs invaded Mississippi for the second consecutive week to battle the Mississ¬ ippi College Choctaws at Jackson, Miss. The game was the feature of the Choctaw Homecoming Day pro¬ gram, but due to hard rains in Clinton, the home of Mississippi College, the game was played in Jackson. The game ended with the Bulldogs on the short end of a 20 to 6 score, but throughout the entire game they gave a good account of themselves. The Choctaws’ first touchdown was the result of a fumble by Tech on its own one-yard line, early in the first quarter. From this time until the end of the half, play was mostly in mid-field except late in the second quarter, when the Choctaws’ second touchdown was made on a pass. Most of the first half was featured by a punting duel with Metz kicking for the Choctaws and “Bob” Baker doing the booting for the Bulldogs. A. T . Baker Tech received the kick-off at the beginning of the second half but were soon forced to punt. The third quarter found the ball in mid-field most of the time, with each team holding possession of it about the same length of time. In the fourth quarter, Long, Tech fullback, got past the line of scrimmage for a 35-yard gain. This carried the ball deep into Choctaw territory. However, Tech lost the ball on downs. At this time Riser, tackle, came in the game and on the first play blocked a Choc¬ taw punt and ran for a touchdown. In the last few minutes of play the Collegians scored another touch¬ down by a forward pass from Metz to Lee. With a special train load of supporters in the stands the Bulldogs played their best game of the year against the Centenary Gentlemen on November 23. After play had been going on for only two minutes, Maroney, Tech’s shifty sophomore haifback, brought the stands to their feet by slipping through Centenary’s line and making a neat forty yard gain before he was downed on Centenary’s 15-yard line by the Gentlemen’s safety man. Here, Tech’s offense halted and the Gents gained possession of the ball. The Gents made their first score of the game in the first quarter when, after working the ball down the field, Brown made the marker on a short end run. In the second quarter neither team was able to score. The second half began like the first half ended, neither team being able to advance the ball very far into the other’s territory. Finally, during the third quarter, Patterson, Centenary end, caught a long for¬ ward pass and raced 15 yards for the Gents’ second touchdown of the day. Centenary made her final touchdown in the last quarter, when after a long drive featuring a varied attack, the Gents completed a 15-yard triple pass for the final marker. Attempts to make the extra point failed after both of the last touchdowns and the game ended. Centenary 19; Tech 0. I Darrell “Dutch” Heard As the game ended, the Bulldogs were attempting desperately to score via the air route. Several long heaves from Long to Mangham were successful. On November 30, Tech journeyed to Pineville to olay their traditional rivals, the Louisiana College Wildcats. Tech kicked to Louisiana College. The first part of the quarter was occupied with a punting duel, each team hoping for a break and both trying to feel the other out. The break came, when Maroney, late in the first quarter, received a punt and made a beautiful run of 65 yards for a touchdown. Baker went over left guard for the point after touchdown. The Wildcats’ first touchdown came after about a quarter of even playing when Harkness threw a pass to Stevens late in the second quarter. The at¬ tempt to make the extra point was successful and the first half ended with the score 7 to 7. Tech received the kick-off to begin the second half. Play was about even until just before the third quarter was over when Louisiana College scored her second touchdown on a trick play. Early in the fourth quarter Biser blocked a punt and Long went through the line for a touchdown. The attempt to make the point failed. Late in the fourth quarter, with the ball dee]) in Tech’s territory, Louisiana College made their third touchdown. Tech held them for three downs on the one-yard line, but on the fourth the last white stripe was gained. The game ended soon after with the score, 19 to 13, in favor of the Wildcats. Taking advantage of all opportunities that drifted their way, the Bulldogs celebrated Homecoming Day, December 7, with a 24 to 7 victory over the South¬ western Louisiana Institute of Lafayette. The field was muddy due to rains the day before the game. The Bulldogs, playing a defensive game, kicked the ball deep into Southwestern territory at every opportunity. Finding the ball hard to hold, Dennis Peel “Gilly” Gilbert Southwestern fumbled on their own 20-yard line ami Tech recovered. Here came Tech’s first touchdown Maroney faked a right end run and reversing Th ‘ beautifully, went the entire twenty yards for the In the second quarter, Gilbert caught a Southwest ern fumble before it hit the ground and in something h ' SS th ' a i 3 tW ! nkle of the eye was well on his way in the thirty-yard journey to the goal line. y ln r m Th i e thl ' rd touchdown came when Baker, playing fullback, intercepted a Southwestern pass and squirnf ed forty yards to the final white stripe. qu m “ Southwestern opened the second half nio„;„,. much better brand of ball and held Tech on cv! n .,.? a throughout the third quarter.

BERRY “DICK” HIXTOX GORDON “CHICK” WEAKLEY VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM O Tech opened its basketball season with a bang when she won the first intercollegiate game on the schedule from the strong Magnolia A. and M. Muleriders by the one-sided score of 33 to 13. Tech’s reserves played most of the game and when they gave way to the varsity, they had amassed a safe lead. However, on the next night, the Muleriders turned the tables and beat the Bulldogs by a score of 28 to 25. On this night the Muleriders showed much better team work, but not enough better to gain a sufficient lead to win until the final minute of play. The Bulldogs made their bow into conference competition in a two game series with Mississippi College Choctaws of Clinton, both of which were won by the Choctaws. The Mississippians were conference champions in 1929, and proved too much for the Bull¬ dogs. The games were won by scores of 47 to 35 and 49 to 39 respectively. Tech was in bad form both nights, while Mississippi showed form that they prob¬ ably never equalled during the rest of the season. After the Mississippi invasion, the Bulldogs e- turned to their home quarters for games with in¬ dependent teams. Two games were played, Tech winning both. The Canines won over Shreveport “Y” team and the Adlers from Monroe. The next opponents of the Bulldogs were the Cen¬ tenary Gentlemen, traditional rivals from Shreveport. Tech lost two games ' Lo the Gentlemen by close scores; the first being 35 to 30 and the second, 31 to 30. Both games were hotly contested, and many fouls were called on each team. The second game was won by the Gents after two extra periods were played to break the existing tie. Garnet “Tip” Tipton After taking two defeats from the Gentlemen, Tech again took the road for Baton Rouge, where they en¬ gaged the Louisiana State Tigers in battle. L. S. U. wen both of the games. In the first game Tech put up a good fight and the game ended 37 to 31 in favor of the Bengals, but on the second night the Bulldogs could not get going seemingly, and the Tigers romped off to a 42 to 27 win. Beaten but not disheartened, the Bulldogs stopped in Pineville to play the Louisiana College Wildcats. The story of this series was the same. The Wildcats won the first game by a score of 33 to 29 and the second hy a score of 38 to 27. The Bulldogs, although they had not hit their stride, were on the eve of one of the most thrilling flashes that was ever afforded supporters of Tech. They returned to Ruston, and after four days hard drilling, visited Natchitoches on Friday night and handed the Demons a 35 to 21 defeat. The next night, the two teams changed scenes of action and in the hoys’ gym at Tech the Demons showed better form but not enough better to win. The Bulldogs carried off this game by a score of 23 to 24. On Monday and Tuesday irghts of the next week, the Bulldogs began a very successful week by defeat¬ ing the Mississippi College Choctaws in two hard fought contests. On Monday night, the game was very close, the Choctaws threatening to wrest the lead from Tech continually. In fact it was only during the last few minutes of play that the Bulldogs drew away with a safe lead. On the second night, the Bullogs showed unquestioned superiority over the Mississippians. The game ended with Tech on the long end of a 32 to 16 Dennis Peel L. C. “Jleefoy” Curry score. Neither team showed the offensive power that they did the night before, but Tech excelled in team work, their passing being sensational at times. On Wednesday night, the Technicians met the Normal Demons for the last time of the season. The first half of this game was just an ordinary ball game, although it was close. However, in the last half, the Bulldogs gave the crowd a thrill that was duplicated only one other time during the entire season. At the beginning of the half the Demons led by two points, 15 to 13. As play progressed, the Demons drew away from Tech to a large lead. With only three minutes left for play. Tech was eight points behind the Demons. Here Tech opened up; the team threw all caution to the winds and began their drive for a sensational victory. With one minute to play the Bulldogs had advanced so that they trailed only by one point. The ball was thrown up in center; Mangham got it, pivoted, and threw it to Hinton who scored the necessary two poipts as he skidded under the goal. The next night the team took a much needed rest, but on Friday night they were back on the battle front, being opposed by the Louisiana College Wildcats. The first battle was comparatively easy for the Bulldogs. They won it by a score of 41 to 28. But the second was undoubtedly the most thrilling ball game ever played on the Tech gym floor. About the middle of the second half it seemed as though the Bulldogs were in for defeat. A last minute rally, however, brought Tech within one point of the Wildcats who were playing for time. A minute, forty-five seconds, then thirty second were left to play. Here Fannie Mangham got the ball right under the goal, but was so closely guarded that he could neither pass nor try for the goal. He ran out of the group and without changing directions—he was running directly from the goal—he threw the ball back over his head and made the neces¬ sary two points. The ball hit the floor just as the final whistle blew. The two games with Louisiana College ended the Bulldogs’ winnings for the regular scheduled tilts. On Friday and Saturday night of the next week the Bull¬ dogs lost two hard fought battles to Centenary on the Gentlemen’s home court. Both contests were hard fought, with both teams having many fouls called upon them. Robert “Bob” Baker On Tuesday of the week before examinations the Bulldogs left for Jackson Mississippi, where they took part in the S. I. A. A. tournament. Being conceded only an outside chance, every win the Bulldogs regis¬ tered was received as a shock to most people. Yet, the Bulldogs kept fighting and left the Mississippi town with third place laurels in their possession. Tech de¬ feated the University of Louisville, a highly touted machine; Mississippi College, conference champions in 1929, and Kentucky Wesleyan, during tournament play. Southwestern was the only team to defeat the Bulldogs and they were the ones that won first place in the tournament. Berry Yeldell FRESHMAN BASKETBALL SQUAD RCVI€UJ Twenty-six men reported to Coach L. J. Fox for freshman basketball at the beginning of the winter term. Of this group, six men were called that were used in the hard games. These six men were Johnson, Ewing, Donald, Medicia, Durham and Walker. Johnson and Ewing worked at forwards. Johnson’s floor work is considered excellent and this, coupled with his speed, will make him a strong contender for a varsity position next year. Ewing is capable of great ball. He is six feet, three inches tall, and in one game alone scored 38 points. Donald, at center, according to critics, is sure of a berth on next year’s varsity. Little “Nick” Medica, the Jena Giant, who is five feet two inches tall, made the tans realize what speed is when it conies to playing basketball. He handled the hall in fine fashion and played guard on the team. Durham developed into a good stationary guard. Walker, the sixth man, played a great game al both guard and forward posi- tions when called upon to do so. Others who gave promise of future development were Powell Rambo Minard Jarrot, Colvin, Holmes and Flake. The Pups played about nineteen games and cf this number lost only three. 1 hey played the strongest high school teams near Tech and only one time they were defeated by a prep school team and that was by Sikes Agricultural School. The other two defeats were suffered at the hands of the strong Normal Imps. Most of these men will be out next year making varsity players work hard to stay in the starting line-up. LAGNIAPPE 1£ -3 • O COACH L. J. FOX Coach Fox came to Tech in 1925 as Freshman Coach. In this field he built some good teams in football, basketball, and baseball. In 1929 he took over the duties as coach of varsity baseball. This year he is again coaching varsity baseball and has prospects of turning out the strongest team ever produced at Tech. For three years Fox was a star for the University of Georgia in all three of these sports. Quitman Long Captain Berry “Dick” Hinton 31 aurice “Lefty” Donald WEXME SWAZYE W VCLIFF “WICK” LAWRENCE OSWALD “OS’ GIDDENS The 1930 edition of the Bulldog baseball team is considered to have the brightest future that any team has ever had at Tech. It started the season off with a bang when it defeated the strong Miss¬ issippi College Choctaws in a ten-inning tilt. The score was 3 to 2 and the game was featured by the pitching of Donald, who worked the entire ten in¬ nings, and home runs by Maxie and Long. On this team, there are five men who are play¬ ing their last season under the colors of the Red and Blue. They are Long, Hinton, Riser, Giddens and Pipes. Quitman Long, with his sensational catching and hitting, has been on the Tech team for the past three years. As well as taking part in baseball, he has played on the varsity football team for three years. It is predicted that Quitman is destined to play big league ball. Berry “Dick” Hinton, captain and second base- man, is one of Tech’s most versatile athletes, hav¬ ing lettered in football, basketball and baseball. According to critics, he is one of the smartest fielders ever seen on a Tech nine. George Riser, although this is his last year of baseball, has one more vear of football and will captain the 1930 eleven. George, by trade a catch¬ er, is being used in the outfield, so that his batting ability can be utilized. Oswald Giddens, sensational fielder, was a reg¬ ular in 1929, but due to the advent of men who are stronger hitters, may not see regular action this year. However, it is expected that he will play quite a bit. “Buck” Pipes is playing on the squad his last season. Pipes’ work has been overshadowed by Long’s greatness. Nevertheless, he is a good cat. li- er and has been of great service to the team. Of the men who have one more year after this to play baseball on the Tech nine are Simmons, Walpole, Swavze, Donald, McFarland, Grafton and Courtney. JOHN R. KELLY J. I. “SIMMY” SIMMONS GEORGE “JIGGER” RISE! r Of this group, Simmons is the most outstanding player. His sensational fielding and consistent hit¬ ting would make him a valuable asset on any S. I. A. A. team. Simmons plays shortstop. Walpole, outfielder, is an excellent fielder and is said to be the type of player that looks good to big league scouts. Swayze, Donald, McFarland and Courtney are all pitchers. Donald and McFarland have lettered in the past in baseball, while Swayze and Courtney probably will make the grade this spring. Both of the latter have prospects of becoming great hurl- ers, while Donald and McFarland have already proved their worth. “Sport” Grafton, outfielder, is considered the smartest fielder on the squad, but is handicapped in size and hitting ability. The sophomores on the squad include Brown, Laurence, Maxie, Baker, Gilbert, Moffett, Kelly, Kinman and Edens. Three of this number are pitchers. They are Baker, Kelly and Edens. All show promise to de¬ veloping into good hurlers. Three out of this group of sophomores will play regular this year. They are Maxie, outfield, Gil¬ bert, first base, and Laurence, third base. Maxie and Gilbert both are hard and consistent hitters. Laurence is an excellent fielder, but rather weak with the bat. Brown, a freshman three years ago, was out of school for two years. He looks as if he will de¬ velop into a really great ball player on account of his hitting and fielding. Johnny Moffett, the star sophomore quarter¬ back on the football team, has proved himself ex¬ cellent at ball hawking, and it is predicted that he will develop into a real hitter by next year. Kinman is the only real utility man on the squad, playing both infield and outfield positions. He is a fair hitter. WEBSTER WALPOLE BUKREL MAXIE DAYIDSOX BROWN FRESHMAN BASEBALL TEAM Review Under the tutelage of Coach Rockwell, the Bullpups have a team of diamond- men that show great possibilities of developing into future greats. In early prac¬ tice sessions, these boys played well against the varsity, and the prediction is that when the season is under way, success will be theirs. The most promising of the new men on the squad is Atley Donald, a brother of the illustrious “Lefty,” who throws the ball across the plate in a manner that makes him look good for the varsity now. He was a star in high school at Downsville, and is the best Tech has coming up. Two more good men are Davis and Dabney, who alternate at first base and take regular turns on the pitching staff. These boys promise to develop into real ball players for the Red and Blue. Behind the plate the Pups have Gimber. Gimber started the season at first, but with a little practice behind the plate, looks like a real find. “Little Dick” Hinton, a brother of the varsity captain, has shown good form at second base, and is one of the best on the team. Shortstop and third base will be taken care of by Cox and Diamond, the football stars. Both boys look good and should come through in fine style. The outfield will be taken care of by Medica, basketball star, Smith and Cupit. Great things are expected of this trio. 30—i COACH E. M. SHIRLEY Coach Shirley came to Tech in 1927. He was Tech’s first track coach and turned out Tech’s first track team. Shirley’s success since he has been at Tech has been great. He seems to know a track man when he sees one, even before he sees the man r un. Shirley went to college at L. S. U. and held a number of records both on the track and in the field while there. He was one of the most versatile trackmen ever turned out at the University. i Rl-DOLPH PIETSCH GORDON WEAKLEY Rudolph Pietsch is a junior, but this is his first year to take part in track. Pietsch throws the dis¬ cus. Although this is his first year, his distance in this event has been impressive. Bolen and Gatlin will take care of the shot¬ putting. Both are star football players and are expected to prove invaluable on the track squad. Frazier and Spinks take part in the distance races with Spinks taking part in the relay. Both are good men, though neither has made a letter heretofore. They have an excellent chance to prove their ability this spring. For the vaulting event the Bulldogs have Pirkle. This boy clears the bar at a good height and should develop into a winner. Piper takes part in the two-mile race. This is his first year in varsity competition and he is ex¬ pected to develop into a real runner in time “Fannie” Mangham, star football halfback, is out for the javelin throw and high jump. Although this is his first year on the varsity squad, he looks good for poin ts in every meet. His phenomenal improvement in the javelin throw while on the Freshman team last year makes his future look brighter than that of most any other man on the team. Three other newcomers to the squad are mak¬ ing strong bids for honors. They are the McCarthy brothers, Harlan and Howard, and Cooksey. The McCarthy boys enter in the distance races and both show up well. Cooksey is a hurdler, and should, with development, become a constant winner in this event. CARLTON FRAZIER HERBERT S3IITH ALDER I I PER HARLAM) McCARTY HOWARD Me (A HI V Although Coach Shirley lost several good men from his 29 team by graduation, it is expected that he will have a real track team this spring. Re¬ placing such stars as Lowery and Peel is no easy job. but among the men reporting to early practices, it looks as if Tech will be a real threat on the track. Captain Dennis Noah runs for the Red and Blue for his third and last year. Noah has been a valu¬ able man to Coach Shirley ever since he reported the first time, and his worth to the team is shown by the fact that he was elected captain for this year’s team. Dennis runs the two mile race, and there are few men in the S. I. A. A. who can beat him. Gordon Weakley, the most versatile man on the team, is on the track team his second year. Weak¬ ley is a star basketball player and equally as good on the track. Among his specialties are the quar¬ ter-mile, the broad jump and the dashes. Heretofore he has taken part in the quarter-mile event, but in early practice he has shown form that makes him look good for both the dashes and broad-jump. Herbert Smith is serving his last year on the track team. In foregoing years, Herbert has taken part in races, but this year he is taking part in the discus throw. He is going to make someone work if they keep him off the team in this event. York Sheppard, another of Tech’s versatile trackmen, is running for the Red and Blue his last year. For two years York has taken care of the two-mile for Tech and this year it looks as if he will be called to run the hurdles. “Shorty” Carlton is serving his last year for Tech. Carlton has been a good man all the time he has been on the team. His handicap in size is over-compensated by his fighting spirit and willing¬ ness for work. “SHORTY” CARLTON “FANNIE” 3IANGHAM ROY BOLEN Review A large group of former high school stars greeted Coach Shirley for the Frosh track squad later in the winter quarter. Many of these boys are expected to make good for Tech on the cinderpath. 1 he Fi osh won an early season meet in easy style from Summerfield and Jonesboro high schools. The men who showed best in this meet were Parker, Crowley, Humphries, Jones, Townsend, Knippa and Johnson. Parker is a big fast man and promises to be a valuable-addition to the varsity next year. Crowley is the dash man and about the fastest the freshmen have. Humphries, Knippa and Johnson take part in field events, with the latter running the hurdles. Jones shows up well in both field and track events and Townsend is a half miler who promises to become a real winner for the Red and Blue in future years. With development, all of these boys are expected to prove very valuable to lech in years to come. 1 he way they started off the season indicates that they will have a successful one.- FRESHMAN TR ACK TEAM features EAUTIE5 “She is most fair, and thereunto Her life doth rig htlg harmonize; Feeling or thought that was not true Ne’er made less beautiful the blue Unclouded heaven of her ei es.” from “Mg Love”—bg Lowell . i oJYCargarep Hedrick Lois oltoru dTKlargarep— C 3 tatch cffleleru oyd Isophene Qreer This picking five beautiful Kiris from twenty beautiful subjects is a ticklish business.
