With the pressing of a telegraph key installed at the White House, Presi¬ dent Franklin D. Roose¬ velt officially opened the four-day fete by turning on 5,000 colored lights strung above the streets of Ruston. Promptly at 6 p. m., the multi-colored bulbs announced that festivities were actually under way. The opening program in¬ cluded talks by prominent citizens and programs given by local musicians. The program for Fri¬ day began with the award¬ ing of the American Le¬ gion Citizenship trophy to Sheriff Thigpen of Lin¬ coln Parish. Three views of Ruston in the early 1900’s. The first church in Rus¬ ton, the Methodist, built in 1884. Groups participating in the parade on Satur¬ day. • 104 • CELEBRATION The high spot of Fri¬ day’s program came at 7 p. m. when Miss Char¬ lotte Davis was crowned Queen of the Semi-Cen¬ tennial. After the coro¬ nation at the Rialto The¬ atre, a reception was held at the Ruston Golf Club, followed by the Semi- Centennial Ball. S a t u r day morning’s program consisted of a Boy Scout jamboree at 10 o’clock and a big free barbecue on the Tech campus at 11:30. Fol¬ lowing the “eats” on the campus, the Tech-Ruston Homecoming Parade got under way. Floats representing the many civic organizations of the town, groups de¬ picting the stages in the development of Ruston, Boy Scouts, National Guardsmen, and others, participated in this gala parade, which ended at Tech in time for the an¬ nual game with South¬ western Louisiana Insti¬ tute. The Queen of the Lou¬ isiana Tech Homecoming, Miss Jewell Smith, pre¬ sented to Captain Waters of the Bulldogs the ball to be used in the Home¬ coming game. The Queen and her Maids (left to right) : Dell Barksdale, Eliz¬ abeth Rainwater, Mary Beth Holland, Charlotte Davis, Mar¬ garet Hadley, Jane Goyne, and Evelyn Ponder. Views of the Tech-Rus¬ ton Homecoming Pa¬ rade. 105 • CELEBRATION After the Bulldogs’ having suffered defeat at the hands of the South Louisiana team, things were at a standstill until the Street Party at 7 p. m. At that time, “Old Fid¬ dlers” “did ' their stuff” for the crowds gathered there for the street dance which was to follow the contests. Sunday, the celebration was brought to an end by the laying of the corner¬ stone of the new Method¬ ist Educational Building.

The title “Lagniappe” is characteristic of Louisiana and means “something extra.” The 1934 volume is the first of the 9x12 size, as well as the first known college yearbook published without aid from advertise¬ ments or subscription lists. Hewins • 161 • em 1 ! G. M. Bohler Director of Athletics Many apparently good reasons might be given for the failure of the 1933 football team to win only one game of an eight-game schedule. Under these would come such items as injuries, inexperience, lack of material, and the lightness of the squad. However, the Bulldogs will say they were beaten by better teams. The one victory was the real cream of the season so far as Tech is concerned; it was worth losing several games to down the Demons. Games with Millsaps, Henderson, South¬ western, and Copiah-Lincoln found the Techmen holding the enemy close, and in no game other than the Louisiana College fray was the team unable to claim credit. A visit to Lubbock, Texas, gave the team spirit to beat the Normal, although the big Texas team won easily. BULLDOGS • 166 • InMj While the 1933 season is one of almost consecutive defeats it remains for loyal students to give highest commendation for the untiring efforts on the part of players and coaches in placing an eleven on the field to repre¬ sent their Alma Mater. May the bitter pangs of defeat of 1933 be forgotten in a victory flush for the coming seasons.

Davis was appointed captain of the team about mid-season due to his consist¬ ent ability in handling a tough job in the backfield. His punting for his senior year was outstanding. “Windy” or “Hoss” Garrett gave Tech the victory over Normal on a 52-yard gal¬ lop to the Demon’s goal posts. He drew first blood in the Texas Tech game, run¬ ning 63 yards for a touchdown tally. Royce Johnson was the only Tech player mentioned for all-association grid laurels. His brilliant senior season at end was cut short due to a lime burn he received in the Texas game. Brewer was another of the terminal players to lose out of regular play due to injuries. His three years with the team were marked by steady hard-working ef¬ fort. C. E. Colvin proved to be just as good at tackle in his second varsity year as his record as a sophomore attested. A light man for the position, Colvin made up the difference in fight. McCleary earned his varsity spurs as a senior after several seasons of diligent trial. He was a hard worker and de¬ served recognition. Short came up with a number of other sophomores to fill a line position. Of the ideal build for guard, Short will be heard from in the next two seasons. Waters completed the end players who were 1 working under the injury jinx during the season. He played several games with a plaster cast on the injured member. CAUSEY PANKEY GARRETT COLVIN, J. B. • 168 • BREWER Election as alternate captain proves his popularity with teammates. Keltner completed his third season playing the same grim battling game as ever. D. was good against Henderson, es¬ pecially. Causey joined the line in his junior sea¬ son and was a tremendous power on of¬ fense, being a splendid tackier. “Home- Boy” can be depended on for fight regard¬ less of the strength of the opposition. “Shreveport” Johnson may be looked upon as a regular after a “seasoning” year as a sophomore, although he played almost as one during the latter part of the season. He can pick up lots of power carrying the pigskin. Deas was a surprise in his sophomore season and will be one of the best line¬ men during the next two years. Playing that guard position with a business-like procedure, he is bound to be a repeater. Thigpen gained fame as one of the youngest college backs in the nation. Lack of weight is all that is keeping “Sheriff” from fixing his name among the greats-- he has the rest. Daniels was never out, even when down, and is the type of player a coach can de¬ pend on. Jerry gave the Matadors a good fight at Lubbock. Pankey, numbered among the eight other sophomores, is taking up where his brother left off in gridiron work here. The brother (“WOW”) was light and so is Joe, and they both have proved good. He played in the backfield in ’33, but will probably be at end next fall. “Ike” Lowrey has the captaincy of the team for ’34 and will make the Bulldogs a real field general. A genial disposition off the field disappears when big “Ike” WATERS BROOKS DANIELS DEAS • 169 • starts to swing his mitts and “work on the opposing line. J. B. Colvin was a valu able man to the team in his senior year, especially so with the numerous injuries to the other end players. J. B. was out of the game a year after the Bulldogs’ undefeated ’32 cam¬ paign. McKay was still another of the long list of linemen out of the game for part of the season. Mac might not have been the lightest guard ever to perform at Tech, but he has the credit of being one of the best, while playing his last year with the team. Brooks carried little into the game inso¬ far as football physical make-up is con¬ cerned, but this lanky soph was a regular from the start, especially good on a pass defense. Turner did not play regularly, but the experience gained in the backfield was coming to the front in spring grid work, and he may be looked for among the starters next fall. H. A. is picking up speed and ground gaining ability. Humphreys ' was appointed captain of the team at the spring meeting of the “T” club, but never entered college in the fall due to a serious injury while working in the Texas oil fields. “Minnie” will never have the chance of playing his third var¬ sity season due to the five-year rule. Patterson failed to play in a single game due to an injury before the season opened. He lettered at end during the ’32 season and was one of the outstanding candidates for a regular berth until the injury. • 170 • L. P. McLane Director of Athletics September 29—Open.

Tech ran second to Centenary in the state standing of association members, and after the Gents had been ruled ineligible, moved to the top of the list. The Techmen were high scorers of the association, their aggregate points lead¬ ing the runners-up by more than 100 points. The team hit a winning streak in the first seven games of the cage race that might not have been broken had the team stayed intact. Serious illness of three regulars practically wrecked the original line-up Coach Lee started with, and before another combination had been found the season was practically over. One of the victories at the first of the season was scored over Western Kentucky, the team that won the association title later. Prospects are excellent for next year, with only three to be lost by graduation. The first of the season found Groth at center; Waters and Cox at guards, and Garrigus, Brooks, or Jones at forwards. Towards the last of the season Lowrey played center with Groth going to forward. In the association meet the Techmen lost their first game with Berea. The vic¬ tors entered the tourney finals to win second place. • 173 • Groth, Cox, Hinton, Brooks Charlie Groggy Groth is the type of college athlete who completes his third year with a team with a much better record than in the first two. Groth was captain of the Bulldogs and a runner-up for scoring honors. f rank Red Cox was in the thick of the fight in ev ery game. His work at guard, although not flashy, was a main factor in the Bulldogs’ successful season. Don Hinton, third member of the team graduating from college sport, played in a number of games at guard. Don worked hard for a regular position and was ready for a call for relief work when needed. Madison Brooks started his college cage career by bagging the high-point record for the team with 201 points. Brooks’ uncanny goal work was at its best against W estern Kentucky, Stetson, Louisiana College, and Mississippi Teachers. Thad ‘‘Muddy’ Waters was “stormy weather” to the opposition last winter. Iudoubtedly he is one of the best guards to ever don a uniform at Tech, and the best part is that he will be with the team another season. Billy Hogan started the season on the bench, but was ready to fill a regular position with several forwards out of the game. After the regulars had recovered, Hogan was not forgotten, and his good work won him a part-time regular job for the remainder of the season. Harold Ike Lowrey saw very little action in any games until the final Loyola series. Playing at center in the last two games of the regular season “Ike” was nothing short of sensational in gaining the tip-offs and in caging shots. The coaches saw fit to play him in the association tourney at the pivot position. Jack Sheriff Thigpen won his second varsity letter as a sophomore with the cage team. The “Sheriff subbed during the season and will be a real contender for a regular berth next winter at guard. Claude Jones was one of the unfortunates and perhaps the most “unfortunate,” since a case of pneumonia prevented his playing for over a month. As a sophomore, Jones was playing regular until the illness. He will be looked upon as a promising forward next year.

No o ther college or university in the state included baseball on their spring sports calendar. The Bulldogs played Rollins college of Florida in their only association games and secured an even split of a two-game series. Other intercollegiate games in¬ cluded two with the South Georgia State Teachers college, in which the Techmen were defeated both times. For a number of years Tech has been alone among S. I. A. A. colleges of Louisiana to sponsor a baseball team. The sport has an appeal to many and it is very unlikely that it will be discontinued. When other colleges return to the game they will find Louisiana Tech leading them due to the extra effort on the part of athletic officials to continue the sport. • 177 D Riser, Groth, Keene, Edens, Brewer James “Cut” Riser served the team well as captain during his last year with the varsity. He started at second base as a sophomore and missed few games during ihe three varsity seasons. Cut was never a heavy hitter, but an infielder who could cover ground and scoop up grounders with clock-like precision. Charlie Groth came to the front in Bulldog diamond history and led the pitch¬ ing staff in the hard fought series with Louisiana State. In the third game of the series with the Tigers here, Charlie w as credited with the victory. George Keene lives up to his name in playing at shortstop for Tech. In a pinch, Keene is a good hitter and in fielding his work is keen; to say the least for a pun. Fred “Bo” Edens, the boy from Plain Dealing, deserted interclass ranks to earn a varsity award in the sport. “Bo” pitched and mixed with the best hitters; something unusual for a twirler. Due to association rules, Edens was ineligible for further competition after the ’33 season. Henry Brewer, a heavy hitting outfielder, did his part in bringing the state title to Tech. Brewer was out of college for the ’34 season, which made the 1933 season his last with the Bulldogs. Jimmie Davis, Tech’s “best athlete” of 1932-33, had a successful year on the diamond that helped him win this award. Davis pitched and played in the outfield. The ’33 season was his last with Tech due to his having pitched one inning in 1931. Hartford Causey, named as captain of the team for this year, can hold about any position on the team. He caught for the team in ’33, but can handle first about as well. Causey is a natural hitter and the best of the team. Don Hinton drove in one run and scored two others in defeating Louisiana State in the final game. Don won his first letter during this season and finishes college in 1934. He plays first base or in the outfield. Johnny Moffett won three letters in football and track at Tech, and then took up baseball successfully in 1933. The fastest man of the team, Moffett was most valuable. A good all-round player, Tech realized what they had missed when Johnny failed to try out the other years. Homer Prudhomme was credited with the victory in the deciding game for the state title. He was another member of the pitching staff who was equally noted for hitting, and drove out a double in the title game that later resulted in one of the four runs of the day. ■ TECff ' A f j f t if Davis, Causey, Hinton, Moffett, Prudhomme • 178 • Gimber, Davis, Groth, Brooks, Kyle, Causey (Captain), Pankey, Pittard, Coach Eddie McLane Keene, Taylor, Shackelford, Null, Hinton, Thigpen, Still Louisiana Tech’s 1934 baseball team became the first athletic team in the col¬ lege’s sport history to visit another section of the country for intersectional games. The Bulldogs made an extended trip to Chicago the first of May for two games with the University of Chicago nine and one with Northwestern. In the first intercollegiate games of the season the Canines split a series each with Louisiana State and Mississippi college.

CHAMPIONS—1933 Frey, Crawford, Deloney, Lowrey, Hudson, Coach Shirley Garrett, Brewer, Brown (Captain), Holmes, Yeldell, Humphreys, Johnson SEASON 1933 Winning a championship is one thing and defending it about twice as much more, but the 1933 Bulldog thinclads found little opposition in repeating as district track champs. Besides the association honors, Coach Shirley piloted his team through their second undefeated season. The success of the track team is still more remarkable because most of the athletes received their first training in their sport after entering Tech. Leaders of the championship team, with few exceptions, can attribute their prowess in their special event to the able coaching of E. M. Shirley, a man who has seen track sport at Tech grow from its first year into the association champion. In dual meets the Bulldogs were easily winners, the surprising total of points garnered in the district event being more than the most loyal supporters of the team dared predict. The team was well balanced and strong in every event with the exception of the distance races. • 181 • Brown, Yeldell, Holmes, Johnson Don Brown, captain of the team, was told by his high school coach that he wasn’t the man for a high hurdler. Until the district meet in May, Don had been undefeated in the event for two years. Besides performing over the high and low timbers, Don developed into a first-class high jumper during the season. Berry Yeldell, taking a last fling at college athletics, tossed the shot and threw the discus for a regular 10 points in the meets and repeated as champion in both events at the district meet. At the district meet Berry shattered both records, in the shot and discus. Ed Holmes, understudy to Brown in the hurdles and jumps, earned more than a share of points for the Bulldogs. He was appointed captain of the ’34 team at the conclusion of the track season. Ben Johnson was one of the three good low hurdlers, and also ran a lap in the relay. Johnson was one of the senior trackmen. Henry Brewer won the javelin event in nearly every meet, and the champion¬ ship at the district meet for five more Tech points. Herman Humphreys ran the low hurdles very few times during the two years he was a member of the team, but has yet to lose a race. “Minnie” led the field in the low hurdles at the district meet for the second consecutive year. He also participated in broad jumping and the quarter-mile. Willard Jones was headed for a brilliant senior season until sickness inter¬ vened, but was back in condition to take part in the district affair. Pointed in the low hurdles, and was also a good relay man when in condition. L. G. Garrett was the real “Race-Hoss” of the squad and the best sprinter in track history here. In his first season with the varsity Garrett won the short races regularly, and won the 220 and placed second in the century in the district meet. Harold Lowrey was another heavy-pointing “understudy” of the team. “Ike” mustered points with Yeldell in the discus and shot to give the Bulldogs a strong combination in the events. He was close to Yeldell in the shot-put in several meets. ?
