GILBERT—FRANCIS MANGHAM—ROBERT BAKER With only a few regulars from the 1929 team lost by graduation and a new coach, the pre-season outlook for the Tech Bulldogs was bright. However, when time to start practice came, several men who starred in 1929 failed to report, and the team suffered accordingly. After three weeks of hard practice, Coach Bohler and 25 sturdy Bulldogs boarded the train for Baton Rouge, where they encountered and were subdued by the then fe¬ rocious Tigers of Louisiana State University. This game was preliminary to both teams’ conference schedules, and as a result Coach Bohler kept several Tech mainstays on the sidelines for fear of their suffering more serious injuries while the Tigers whitewashed Tech, seventy-odd points. The next week-end found the Bulldogs going still deeper into the “cajun” countr y, traveling to New Orleans to meet the Wolfpack of Loyola University of the South. Here the Bulldogs played a fine game, although the score does not indicate it. It was the Tech team’s first experience in playing under floodlights, and during the first few minutes of play, the Wolves scored three of the four touchdowns they tallied during the contest. Near the end of the first quarter, led by C. J. Gilbert, fullback, the Bulldogs took the ball on the offensive, and through the second and third quarters played the Wolves off their feet. On three occasions during these two periods, the Bulldogs carried the ball inside the enemy’s 20-yard line, and an equal number of times Tech passes were incomplete behind the goal line. Early in the third quarter, the Bulldogs took the ball deep in their own territory, and with C. J. Gilbert doing most of the ball carrying while the other ten Bulldogs did some hard charging, carried the oval within one inch of the coveted last white stripe. Here the ball was lost on downs. On Oct. 11, the Bulldogs played the first of their three games scheduled for Tech BENNY SWAYZE—JOHNNY MOFFETT-FRED COURTNEY—“DUTCH” HEARD field. The Muleriders of Arkansas A. M., furnished the opposition for the Canines in this their first victory of the season. For two quarters, the Bulldogs kept 2,000 fans well entertained with their efforts to put over a marker, but all proved to no avail. On one occasion, C. J. Gilbert, who by this time was beginning to gain recognition as Tech’s leading offensive threat, skirted the Muleriders’ left end for a 58-yard gain. Several other long runs were turned in, but none proved to be of enough advantage for the Techmen to score. In the second half, the Bulldogs’ efforts were more successful. Early in the third quarter, Bob Baker threw the oval 37 yards without err into the arms of C. J. Gilbert, who never slackened his speed until he crossed the goal line. The place-kick for the extra point was blocked, and the score stood 6 to 0. Gilbert scored from the same play later, and the game ended 13 to 0. On Oct. 17, the Bulldogs made their first non-successful trip of the year across the great and muddy Mississippi, and took a 39 to 0 defeat at the hands of the strong Missis¬ sippi college team in Jackson, Miss., member of the S. I. A. A. conference. The Mississippians scored one touchdown in the first quarter, and two in the second, leading the Bulldogs by a score of 19 to 0 at the end of the half. The second half was a duplication of the first in number of touchdowns scored, and the Indians were successful in converting all three points after touchdown. On the next Saturday afternoon, Tech won a ragged game from Southwestern in which they were penalized on an average of more than five yards for each three minutes of play. The only touchdown of the fray, that was allowed, was made by Gilbert on a 25-yard run through the entire Southwestern team. On another occasion Gilbert took the ball about the same distance, for a score, but the play was called back. On still another instance, Heard and Green were successful in blocking and covering a Southwestern punt behind the goal line, and in this instance, also, the play was called back and Tech was penalized. ROY BOLIN—DAVIDSON BROWN—J. B. DURHAM—JAMES GREEN The Normal Demons were the next to inflict defeat upon the heads of the bat¬ tered Bulldogs. Although defeated, the Techmen played some pretty ball at Natchitoches. At the half, Normal was leading 13 to 0, as a result of a long drive from deep in their own territory and an intercepted pass with which a Demon ran 96 yards for a score. The Bulldogs were not able to complete several drives started, and as a result the score was against them. As the second half started, however, the Bulldogs looked much better and with Bob Baker and Durham smashing the Demon line to bits, the Bulldogs soon counted their first marker cf the game. Play was about even until the middle of the fourth quarter when Gilbert broke loose. He took a short pass over the line of scrimmage from Baker, shook off several Demons and ran through the rest of the entire Normal team for 56 yards and a touch¬ down. Baker kicked gcal for the extra point, and Tech led 14 to 13 as the end of the game drew close. Normal received the ball, and on the first play Cornish of Normal threw a long pass to Roberts who ran the remaining 40 yards for the score. The next week, the Bulldogs had an open date, and on Nov. 15, the Bulldogs traversed the river for the second unsuccessful attempt at a Mississippi team. For three quarters the Majors of Millsaps played Tech on about even terms, scoring 7 points. This touchdown was made late in the second quarter v hen a Major recovered a Canine fumble on the Tech 20-yard line, and a fleet Major back carried it across the gcal cn an end run. A muddy field and hard rain made fumbles frequent. In the second half, Coach Bohler started Gilbert, Mangham and Swayze in the backfield, and for the first time the Bulldogs quit the defensive and tried to do some ground-gaining fcr themselves. Swayze threw several good passes, and these mixed with some good running soon placed the ball on the Millsaps’ 10 yard line, but the muddy C. H. PARKER—HAROLD SPINKS—PAUL VAN DALSEM—RUDOLPH PIETSCH condition of the field and a stiff Major defense kept the Techmen from getting any farther. The Gentlemen from Centenary visited Ruston for the first time in 10 years, on Nov. 22, and let the Bulldogs throw a scare into them for one hour, full of thrills. The Bulldogs received the kick-off, and after an exchange of punts started a drive towards the Gent’s goal. With forward passes and short ground gains, the Bulldogs soon had the ball on Centenary’s 13-yard line. Here line plays failed, and determined to score. Baker was sent back to pass. The ball went straight into the arms of a Tech end, but slipped through and Tech’s most serious threat was thwarted. Late in the second quarter, the Gents passed their way to a touchdown, the score coming from a 25 yard pass to Ruyle who stood behind the goal line. The second half began much as the first half, with the Gents keeping more of an advantage. The ball was in mid-field most of the time, until late in the period when Brown, Centenary quarterback, got loose and ran 55 yards, and Heard tackled him when he was within two yards of a touchdown. A series of line plunges gave the Gents their second marker, from this point. In a downpour of rain, the Bulldogs won from the Louisiana College Wildcats by a single touchdown on Nov. 29. In the fourth cuarter, with the ball on the Wildcats 40-yard line, Gilbert took a short pass from Baker and ran to the Wildcats’ 20-yard line. Three trials at the line and tackles failed, and aga ' n Gilbert took a short pass from Baker, being stopped this time on the 5-yard line. Three line plunges failed to gain for the Bulldogs, but on the fourth play Bob Baker slipped through right tackle, and made the only score of the game. With this game eight Bulldogs ended their football careers at Tech. These men were Capta ' n George Riser, Alternate-Captain Roy Gatlin, Roy Bolin, A. D. Baker, J. D. Brown, Charles Parker, James Green and Fred Courtney. Ccach Fox had a better freshman football team than usual to oifer Tech fans in 1930. They played the’r first g ( -me of the season aga ' nst the strong Mississippi College Baby Choctaws, end lest by three touchdowns. The Bullpups’ opponents were composed of much more experienced men than they themselves were, and the Mississippians won after being held gainless many times. In the next game the frosh lost to the strong Centenary Junior Gents by a score cf 62 to 0. The Bullpups lest to one cf the best freshman teams Centenary has ever had, and were completely overwhelmed. The Bullpups’ first victory came in their game with the strong Southwestern Bull- pup team, the Tech burrheads winning by the score cf 7 to 2. This was one of the best- played games a freshman team has ever turned in on Tech field. The Pups passing attack ruined the downstaters, although the score resulted directly from a blocked punt. The last game cf the season was with the Normal Imps, which the Bullpups won handily by a three-touchdown marg ' n. The first-year men who showed best during the season were Royce Johnson, Mat¬ thews, Turner, Brown, Poulan, McCarty. Blorton and Hanna. Some of these men are being depended cn to furnish material to fill varsity holes caused by graduation. Basketball Top Row—Tipton, Brown, Ewing, Donald, Baker. Bottom Row Medica, Mangham, Curry, Johnson, Weakley, Coach Wynn. The pre-season outlook for a strong cage squad at Tech was exceptionally bright with Mangham, Tipton and Captain Weakley, all of proved ability, from the 1930 team, and Atley Donald, giant center from the 1930 frosh squad, on hand. In addition Baker, Curry and Brown, all experienced men, were eligible, and Medica and Johnson were up from the 1930 frosh. The Bulldogs displayed some ragged ball when playing semi-pro teams from some North Louisiana towns, and only once or twice did they show anything like real form. In the first conference game of the season, the Tech team lost to Centenary Gen¬ tlemen by a score of 44 to 31, and the following night lost a game to the Millsaps Majors by a 34 to 31 score. In the game with Millsaps, Bob Baker gave Tech supporters some joy by scoring 11 points to be high point man for his team. The next week-end, Jan. 16 and 17, the Bulldogs traveled to Lafayette to meet the 1930 champion Southwestern Bulldog. In two engagements, they suffered as many defeats, and returned to Ruston bested by scores of 44 to 31 and 44 to 29. In the second game the Techmen started in vrhirlwind fashicn, and were far out in front at the half, but never got started in the second period and were badly beaten. The following week the Bulldogs played an inspired game of ball and completely overwhelmed the Louisiana College Wildcats by scores of 53 to 42 and 48 to 30. Captain “Chick” Weakley led the Bulldogs in scoring, being high po ' nt man in both games. Tip- ton and Donald gave good accounts of themselves with their passwork, with Tipton throwing in some good guarding extra. The Bulldogs winning ways were short lived, and the next week they lost four out of five battles. Normal and Lcuisana College each handed the Bulldogs a pair of defeats, and the Bulldogs played one of their nicest games of the season to win from the Mississippi College Choctaws. The Bulldogs wen their game from the Mississippians by 36-29 score, and in doing so gave one of the prettiest exhibitions of passwork seen on the Tech maple floor in some time. The Demons beat the Bulldogs by scores of 50 to 48 and 37 to 21. In the first game of this series Dcnald scored 26 po ' nts, establishing himself as high point man. Louisiana College turned the tables on the Bulldogs in the next two games and beat them quite as decisively as the Bulldogs had previously beaten them. The scores in these games were 47 to 30 and 41 to 25. The Bulldogs looked helpless in these two games. On Friday, Feb. 6, the Birmingham-Southern Panthers, previously unbeaten in S. I. A. A. competition, came to Ruston with the hopes of becoming fat off Bulldog meat, but became lean twice, to the tunes of 30 to 21 and 37 to 25. Both games were featured by the cautious play and careful defense used by both teams. The following Monday night found the Bulldogs in conflict with the Mississippi College Choctaws. The result was a 61 to 30 drubbing for the Bulldogs. The game was as top-sided as the score indicates, with the Bulldogs waging a useless fight. On Tuesday night, the Bulldogs again were defeated by a Mississippi team, this time the Millsaps Majors beating them by a score of 43-30. The game was listless throughout, and was featured by the missing of many “crip” shots by both teams. The following week, the Tech Bulldog cage squad of 1931 passed into history after having won a two game series from Louisiana State Normal and lost a two game series to the Centenary Gentlemen. Tech wen the Normal games by scores of 49 to 34 and 30 to 25, respectively. Centenary won the f’rst game from Tech by a score cf 31 to 26, in which game Captain Gordon Weakley finished his college basketball career before home fans w-ith an outstanding style of play. He was the big gun of the Bulldog attack, shooting goals from seemingly impossible positions. Little “Nick” Medica showed the fans that the work he did in the Normal game was no accident by repeating with the Gents. Mangham, Donald and Tipton showed well in these games. These three men bore the brunt of the Bulldogs burden during the entire season, and though it was rare when one of them really starred, they were usually the ones who made it possible for others to star. Tipton’s work at stationary guard was of the kind that any coach would like to have access to. His sore knee never kept him out. Mangham was not the high scorer that he was in his sophomore year,, but proved that a man can be valuable to a team without being its best scorer. Donald, although playing his first varsity ball, never showed the lack of experience once the season was under way, and at times played ball that is hard to excel. Coach Bohler developed the best frosh basketball squad ever to represent Tech from the wealth of material that reported when the practice gong was sounded. Passwork was so thoroughly drilled into the Pups until, when in action, they looked as if they were doing it mechanically. It almost became a second nature with them to pass the ball as soon as they got it. The men who were considered the first five were Groth, smooth working center. Wise and Green, speedy forwards, and Cox and Hinton, guards. McCarty and Campbell played the guard positions during some of the games. Don Brown, elongated Ruston boy. played substitute for Groth at center, and turned in some good ball. These eight men are going to make varsity lettermen work harder than ever before to hold their positions next year. Very few games were played by th e frosh in comparison to the number usually played. Only two or three high school teams were engaged, but all were easily defeated. Six games with freshman teams from other colleges were played, and the outcome was four victories and two defeats. The Normal Imps and the Centenary Junior Gents each were successful in defeating the Bullpups on one occasion, giving the teams an even break for the season’s play. The Louisiana College Kittens had not the wherewithal, however, and the season’s records show that they suffered two defeats at the hands of the Pups and never once were they victorious. baseball Tod Row —Dhu Raley, Manager; Eden, Flake, Atley Donald, Baker, Van Dalsem, Hearne, Laurence, Coach Fox. Middle Row—Giddens, “Lefty” Donald, Walpole, Sim¬ mons, Gilbert, Brown, Lawrence, Kelley, Terry. Bottom Row—Riser, Robinson, Hinton, Grafton, Cox. Of all the Tech bright prospects for 1930-31 athletic successes, the baseball team looked the best. Although as these lines were being written, the eligibility of one of the star players was being questioned, optimism was plentiful for a success during the 1931 diamond season. A letterman for every position reported to Coach Fox to begin the practice. For the first time in several years, the pitching staff looked excellent. “Lefty” Donald, vet¬ eran Bulldog portsider, looked like the best of the bunch because of his experience. Next came Kelly, right-hander, who was a winner for the Bulldogs in 1930 and should have been as good in 1931. Atley Donald, “Lefty’s” brother, was a whip on the 1930 frosh squad, anH gave promise of being the ace of the Bulldog staff before the season was completed. He is a right-hander and has plenty of weight and height to make a good pitcher. Swayze, James Davis, Fred Edens and Flake were the other pitchers on hand. Davis is the most promising of the lot, and all of them are expected to be help to the Bulldogs before the season is over. Besides pitching, these men were to care for any re¬ placements needed in the outfield, although it looked like few of these would be necessary. The catching department was Coach Fox’s biggest worry. His task was to fill the shoes of Quitman Long, who was good enough to play professional baseball as soon as he left Tech in 1930. The material reporting for the catcher’s berth included, Merrell Cox, a sophomore, Oswald Giddens, a letterman outfielder, Paul Van Dalsem and Donnan Lomax. These men were having a merry fight for the position, and it was hard to predict who would finally land the post. For the infield, the coach had a group of veterans. Davidson Brown, hard-hitting first-baseman, James Riser, second base, Imbus Simmons, shortstop, and Wick Laurence, third base, rounded out what looked like the first string infield. All of these except Riser are lettermen, and it was generally conceded that he was fast enough for his company. He played freshman ball in 1929 and acted as an understudy to Berry Hinton in 1930. A capable second string infield was on hand. Don Hinton was showing well at his first try for the first base position. Ben Robinson, a letterman in 1930, was playing second base, with this group; F. C. Lawrence was playing shortstop, and Kendall Hearn, third base. This was a fast fielding group but lacked experience enough to win regular berths. Ben Robinson was the most likely looking one to break into the starting line-ups. In the outfield Coach Fox had no worries. Captain C. J. Gilbert was roaming right field in good fashion, and gave promise of turning in his best college baseball to date. Although in 1930 he did not hit as well as he had a reputation of doing, he looked like he had hit his old stride in 1931 and was out for a big time with opposing pitchers. In center field Coach Fox had one of the best ball-hawks Tech has ever had. Wal¬ pole seldom misses a catch, and in addition is a good lead-off man in the batting line-up. His shoes will be hard to fill next year. In left field, “Sport” Grafton, one of the smartest men on the team, as well as the smallest, had the inside track. Grafton lettered in 1930. He was both a pitcher and an outfielder during that season, and had the best throwing arm of any man on the team. The tentative schedule for the season was: Millsaps April 6-7 at Ruston Mississippi College April 22-23 at Clinton Millsaps April 24-25 at Jackson Birmingham-Southern April 29-30 at Ruston Centenary May 1-2 at Ruston Centenary May 7-8 at Shreveport if W For the first time in the history cf Tech intramural sports were conducted under the auspices of the athletic department m 1930-31. The first sport to be conducted in this way was basketball. The interest taken in this by students was very discouraging. The idea was to let the teams play in classes, but the men reported in numbers too few to round out four teams, so they were divided up as best as possible and played in that way. Soon after Christmas, the call for intramural baseball was sounded and this time the results were pleasing. Two ent ' re teams reported from the freshman class and one each from the other three classes. The freshman A team and juniors led in the play with the same number of wins and losses. The seniors, sophomores and freshman B teams ranked next in the order named. Intramural football was not held this year because of the lack of sufficient equip¬ ment to insure safety to very many players. In addition, the material was in use in spring football practice. No intramural track meets were held. This system is being put into operation at Tech not only for the development of material for varsity teams, but also to give a greater number of men a chance to partici¬ pate in athletics. The system is expected to embrace such sports as golf, tennis, etc. Urach J-93I Top Row—Coach Shirley, Jones, Brown, Weakley, Yeldell, Parker, Norris. Middle r ow _ Durden, Pirkle, Durham, Mangham, Hester, Russell. Bottom Row—Sp inks, Gat- lin, Preaus, Johnson, Cox, Tooke. Prospects for a banner track season at Louisiana Tech were good. Although Coach Shirley lost four first-class runners from the 1930 squad, the material out for early practice gave promise of developing into a team that would rate well with Tech winners of the past. About 20 men were working out daily during the first part of the season for the first meet which was held on April 4. In spite of the fact that the men lost from the 1930 squad were runners, Coach Shirley found that his most urgent need was a high-jumper, pole vaulter and half-miler. Sheppard, Noah and the McCarty twins were the runners lost to the team, and C. J. Gil¬ bert, who quit the diamond long enough to take care of the high jump in 1930, did not report. Bob Baker was out for the pole vault, broad jump and high-jump, and although his ability on a field squad was unproven his efficiency in other departments of athletics rated him as a possible winner. He reported late, and little could be told about him. To fill Noah’s efficient shoes, Louis Pirkle was groomed to run the two-mile. It looked as if Pirkle also would be called on to take care of the pole-vault, which he did in 1930. His improvement during the first weeks of practice was said to make him look like a possible winner for the season. Tech has not had a good pole vaulter in several years. The team was being built around Captain “Chick” Weakley, diminutive dash man who has been winning points for Tech since he was a freshman. The 220-yard and 440-yard dashes were his favorites and with the help of Parker and Moffett, the team looked well fortified for the dashes during the season. Moffett, another diminutive sprinter, did not report until late, but should have reached form enough to win some points for Tech the first part of the season. Parker, the giant of the dash men, had experience on the freshman team in 1930, and looked like a good prospect for some points in varsity competition. Johnson, Brown and Green were the chief candidates for the half-mile berth. Brown, a sophomore, is a tall fellow and should make Tech a good man before he finishes school. Green is an experienced man, but was never called on for the half- mile race before, and little was known about what could be expected from him in this event. Johnson and Brown were also untried for the race. Cox, a red-headed sophomore from Winnfield, looked like the best Tech had for the mile. In 1930 he won many high school rally races in Louisiana, and looked this year like a sure winner for Tech. Durham and Mangham were the most promising candidates that Tech had for a javelin thrower. Durham came up from the 1930 frosh, and although not expected to best Mangham in the event, was expected to win some points during the season. Mang¬ ham has been beaten only once in this event during the entire time he has been in college, and holds the honor of having beaten his only conquerer later during the same season. Before coming to Tech he had had no experience with the javelin, but developed into a winner soon after beginning his career here. Yeldell and Parker looked best with the discus. Yeldell gave promise of throw¬ ing the discus in the same efficient manner in which his brother, Jim, did for the Bulldogs several years ago. This was his first year out for track, and the extent that he would improve was not known, although it was generally conceded that he would be a sure winner. Parker looked good with the discus but did not give the promise that Yeldell did. Gatlin and Yeldell were fighting it out for the right to put the shot during con¬ ference meets. Gatlin was a third-year man in this event, but Yeldell was giving him a merry battle. Either of the men should have been able to hold their own in conference competition. Yeldell will have another year for this, and looks good for a winner. The tentative schedule for the season was: Louisiana College Louisiana Normal Southwestern District Meet S. I. A. A. Meet April 4. at Ruston April 18. at Natchitoches April 25. at Lafayette May 1, 2 and 3. at Pineville May 8 and 9. at Memphis, Tenn. Twenty freshmen reported to Coach Shirley for track practice early in the spring. At this writing none of the men had reached form enough to tell definitely what calibre team Coach Shirley could ex¬ pect from the material on hand, but several had pretty good records in high school competition. Those who reported include: M. D. Waters, C. A. Frey, E. L. Holms, N. W. Sentell, J. L. Caspari, W. J. Moore, G. F. Keene, A. S. Turner, G P. Camp¬ bell, H. B. Burkhalter, J. M. Moncrief, A. B.
