Education Building New Buildings ASWELL HALL THE DINING HALL ROBINSON HALL nnavmil ji 1 1j ■ ■ To the Students of Louisiana Tech: Another year has rolled around. Our enrollment has increas¬ ed and our friends are more numerous. Your deportment, in spite of the crowded conditions, continues fine. My hope is that when our building and campus program is completed you will enjoy your stay and work even more. Those of you who were Freshmen with me in the fall of ’36 will soon be leaving the campus to take up your respective profes¬ sions. I hope that when you graduate in June our close friendship will be an example for those who have come into the college since that time, and also to those who will come later. Let us not for¬ get that colleges are measured by the type of citizens that it makes. The former editors of the Lagniappe have set high standards for us. I shall expect this one for 1940 to be the best. Sincerely, THE PRESIDENT DEANS OF SCHOOLS Herbert L. Hughes Dean of School of Arts and Sciences and Head of English Department B.

A member of Phi Theta Kappa, she was editor-in-chief of the Tech Review, a literary magazine; played major roles in dramatic plays as a member of the Tech Theater Players, and wrote very acceptable poetry, some of which has been published in leading national periodicals. Chosen by a student-faculty commit¬ tee from juniors and seniors no¬ minated by fellow students for their leadership at La. Tech. ORA M. MERRIOT Athlete Very much in the public’s eye was Ding” Merriot dur¬ ing the football and basketball seasons, but outside the realm of sports he found time to serve as vice-president of the Student Council, and as monitor of the freshman dormitory, and was a member of Los Hispanofilos and the T” Club. Merriott lettered in both football and basketball. DODD BROOKS Student Leader Known on the campus for his ever-present smile and winning personality, Dodd ranks among the foremost of the campus leaders at Tech. Working as a waiter in the dining hall, he still has time to head the Student Council, sing in the Glee Club, serve on the Intra-mural council and take part in other extra-curricular and re¬ ligious activities. AMY SUE FURLOW Musician Short and sweet, hard to beat,” is an adequate descrip¬ tion of Miss Louisiana Tech, 1939, who classes as her chief hobby, piano playing. Majoring in music, singing in the Glee Club, and playing in the Little Symphony orchestra, Amy Sue, in her spare time, is secretary of the Student Union and the Newman Club, and president of Theta Upsilon sorority. LAVINIA FOGLE Executive As presdient of Kappa Delta, Lavinia led her sorority to a very successful year. She was chief-assistant in the treasurer’s office. Besides these rather full-time duties she served on the Student Council and Student LJnion, and led the freshmen a merry life as a member of the Freshman Rules Committee. But because she was so helpful as a Senior advisor, the freshmen can well for¬ give her. J. W. RABB Scholar No assignment was too tough; no job was too big to tackle for Rabb. Consistency, efficiency and accuracy were second nature to J. W., Delta Alpha Rho member, who held the following offices: Treasurer of Delta Alpha Rho; Sergeant-at-Arms, International Relations Club; Master of Exchequer, Alpha Lamba Tau. Putting his journalistic talent to use, Rabb edited the Tech Engineer. JONES EDWARD BOOTH Class Leader With just enough of the book worm and the right proportion of social tendencies in his mental make-up, Booth is graduating this year with a climaxing honor— that of being president of the senior class. When not busy as a lab assistant Booth found time to take part on the Student Council, Social fund committee and the Alumni Executive committee. The paragraphs below give a partial list of the more outstanding offices and honors of the winners in the an¬ nual poll. JAY PAUL WADE, JR. Journalist Serving on The Tech Talk as reporter, columnist, sports editor and student editor-in-chief, versatile J. Paul Wade has written everything from society and personals to sports and editorials or vice versa. Instrumental in organizing the Louisiana Collegiate Press Association, he was elected first president of that organization in the fall of 1939. Other activities include: President of Tech Press Club and Co-Sports editor of the Lagniappe for 1939-40. SIBYL LOUISE WURSTER Social Vorker Exceptional in that she had many interests and was successful in all of them is Sibyl Wurster, who was president of Y. W. C. A.; vice-president of the Wo¬ men’s League; treasurer of Honor Council; president of La. Methodist Student Movement; secretary of Freshman Glee Club; secretary of Religious Organiz¬ ations’ Council, and treasurer of the Honor Council. EMMOGENE MARONEY Popular It has repeatedly been said that no Tech dance is quite complete without the presence of Emmogene Maroney. Grace and beauty personified, Em, the sweetheart of Tech, has won a place in the hearts of all who know her. Among her many activities are the following: Girls’ Vice-president of Sophomore class; Vice-president, Kappa Delta; Student Council member and Mardi Gras maid. HAYNES HARKEY Politician Pre-law is his curriculum. Politics is his second nature. Haynes was elected to the presidency of the sophomore class and repeated the following year to become presi¬ dent of the junior class. He was president a third time with his election to the top office of the Student Union in 1939. A member of the Student council, Harkey has been an important figure in the campus political picture. JACK TERRILL Frat Man If there’s anything going on around Tech it’s two to one you’ll find Kid”’ Terrill right in the middle of it. A radiant personality, blond and stocky Jack Terrill is everybody’s friend. Kid ’ has centered his interests chiefly around social activities, and in that field has set a mark to shoot at.” Major offices he has held are: Oracle, Theta Kappa Nu, 1937-’38, 1938-’39; President, Lambda Chi Alpha and member of Inter-fraternity council. MARGARET TEMPLETON Officer-Actress Three times a president, once a vice-president and once an associate editor is the enviable record of popular Margaret Templeton. She has held the presidency of the Women s League, Tech Theatre Players, and the Christian Endeavor. This coupled with the Vice-presi¬ dency of the Y. W. C. A.; Associate editorship of the Lagniappe for 1938-39 and membership in the Student Council describes the variety and success of her extra¬ curricular activities. JANE CARROLL Religious Leader A leader in her every endeavor, Jane has gained the admiration of every one at Tech. With her chief interest in religious work, she has been president of B. S. U., Y. W. A., and religious organization council; Vice- president of State B. S. U.; held offices in Gamma Epsilon, Sigma Tau Delta, and Student Union.. Be¬ sides winning the Journalism award in 1939, she edited the Lagniappe for 1939-40. Kenneth F. Hewins Director PRINTING STAFF Leonard B. Watt Assistant Henry R. Mays, Superintendent E.

Russell Burke Student Editor Evelyn Hemler L. B. Watt, Jr. Home Economics Correspondent Journalism Faculty Adviser The Cultivator, published quarterly by the Louisiana Tech Department of Agriculture, is distributed among the 168 agriculture students of the college and mailed to hundreds of high school pupils and farmers in North Louisiana. The paper reflects the progress of the Department of Agriculture at Tech and keeps abreast of the times in interpreting the new trends in the practical field. Timely topics, discussed by faculty members, appear regularly in addition to news items related to the Louisiana Tech Farm, which has gone through an era of development in keeping with the rapid strides made by the college itself under the recent $2,000,000 building program. Members of the Demeter Fraternity undertook the publication of the paper in the spring of 1938. THE TECH ENGINEER VOLUME 1 NUMBER 2 O ' Haver Coleman STAFF J. W. Rabb H. M. Ikerd R. M. O’Haver Miss Abi Coleman Ikerd Editor President of Delta Alpha Rho Business Manager Secretary Rabb The School of Engineering at Louisiana Tech has a large number of graduates distributed all over the United States and into many foreign countries. This number is being increased every year as more and more young men are sent out from this institution into the engineering profession. As this number increases there is a growing need for a means of bringing all these men with so much in common a little nearer together and keeping them posted on what is going on at their Alma Mater. The School of Engineering at Louisiana Tech has an enrollment of nearly 450 students. It is hard to keep all of these students posted on the activities of the school and its graduates. The students like to know what the graduates are do¬ ing because someday they will be graduates. The answer was found and sponsored by the Delta Alpha Rho beginning in September, 1939. Devoted to the advancement of the School of Engineering, its students, and its graduates, the common denominator for them all is presented in the form of a quarterly publication—THE TECH ENGINEER. Dr. P. K. Smith Faculty Advisor J. Dodd Brooks President Featuring in this section the organizations given to student government, the Women’s League and the Honor Council, headed by the Student Council. THE STUDENT COUNCIL Student Council, executive organ of the student body association, has this year pledged itself to a policy of self-education, and that of proving to students and faculty alike the advantages of more complete student government. Judging carefully the develop¬ ment of the students and their capacity for accepting the responsibilities of self-gov¬ ernment, the Council advanced with firm, concrete steps. Faculty-Student relationship on a high plane is one of the chief aims of the Council. It is not the desire of the Council to build government in which only the students partici¬ pate, but one in which faculty and students work together for the common good of all, so that a strong feeling of fellowship may prevail in our college community.

P. “Eddie” McLane resigned his post as head football coach of the Bulldog “11” in the spring of 1939 to devote his full time to the office of athletic director and head of the physical education department in which ca¬ pacity he continued until December when his continued illness made it advisable for him to sever his con¬ nections with the Athletic depart¬ ment entirely. L. P. Eddie” McLane Head Coach Returning to Louisiana Tech in the spring of 1939 from Howard col¬ lege, Birmingham, Ala., Ray E. Davis became head coach of the Canines. Soon after spring practice with the footballers, Coach Davis turned his attention to the baseball team, with very little prospects for a successful season. However, his K-9 squad proved to be one of the best in the history of baseball at Tech, winning 19 and losing 5 games, and scoring the amazing total of 291 runs during the cam¬ paign, giving the Bulldogs a valid claim to the mythical championship of the S. L A. A. Following a gen¬ eral shake-up in the coaching staff at the close of the 1939 football season, Coach Davis was relieved of his duties. He is at present con¬ nected with the freshman coaching staff at the University of Alabama. : ■ ■ I I V Ray E. Davis FOREWORD Lest any accuse us of avoiding the issue, we take this opportunity to state in advance that the record of the Bulldog grid machine during the 1939 campaign left much to be desired. However, despite the loss of more than half of their games, the inexperienced pigskin-toters proved themselves worthy wearers of the Red and Blue. Considering that there were only four seniors on the squad, and that the greater part of the group was composed of raw sopho¬ mores with little or no college experience, the record of the team speaks well for the boys who played the game. Although the 1939 season was not a success in games won and lost, the sportsmanlike manner in which the team took its losses and the eagerness with which the Bulldogs entered every game won the respect of every Louisiana Tech student. THE COACHES Pictured at the right are the other members of the varsity coaching staff during the past season. Herb Duggins, shown in the upper photo, end coach of the Bulldog grid machine and head basketball coach, who was a former foot¬ ball and basketball star at Purdue university, has been on the campus several years and is well liked by all who know him. In his spare moments he teaches in the physical education department, handles the intramural sports program and this spring is coaching track. In the center is Mike Wells, popular line coach, who did most of the scouting for the football team, traveling from place to place to get the low-down on opponents. He is also tennis coach, teaches physical education and assists Coach Duggins with the intramural program. Eddie “Doc” Wojecki, in the lower photo, head trainer for the Bulldogs, takes care of the aches and pains of the football, basket¬ ball and baseball players. As boxing coach, “Doc” ended a career of several years after the successful 1940 season. Boxing has been dropped from the athletic department’s list of intercollegiate sports. Following the revision of the coaching set-up, Wojecki was the only one of these three to be retained on the football staff. THE SEASON Tech Opponents 32 Arkansas A.

James Barnett Back Harmon Burgess Center Garland Gregory Guard James Zoeller Back James Hendricks Center Thomas Goodgame Guard William Ferguson End THE SEASON W HEN the first whistle blew for fall practice, Coach Ray Davis faced the task of molding a team able to withstand a rigid eleven-game schedule, out of 24 sophomores and only 11 veterans. Despite this, local fans had high hopes for a successful season. Although only four veterans were in the starting line-up, the Tech Bulldogs rolled up a 32-0 score against Arkansas Jack Jaggers, captain A. M. in the season’s opener, September 15, on local turf. James Tinsley and James Barnett, sophomore halfbacks, scored two touchdowns each, while Sammy Gooch, sophomore end, chalked up another. Freddie Michael, sophomore quarterback, and Howard Barker, junior halfback, kicked an extra point each for the other Bulldogs ' scoring. The local squad passed their first crucial test of the season by knocking over Illinois Wesleyan, 12-7, September 22. Having broken even in two previous meetings, the two teams drew a capacity crowd to the Tech stadium. James Tinsley, halfback, and James LaugKlin, sophomore end, scored Tech’s touchdowns. Inflating local supporters’ hopes still higher, the Bulldogs ran up a 39-0 score on the Alabama State Teachers in the Techsters’ third straight engagement at home, September 29. Ed Wendling, sophomore fullback, and Howard Barker, halfback, went across the goal line twice each for the Canines, while Ed Bryant, sophomore end, and Bill Hinkie, senior halfback, scored one touchdown each. Barker, Hinkie and Freddie Michael added three extra points. Taking off on their first road trip, the Techsters met stubborn opposition in the Western Kentucky State Teachers at Bowling Green, Ky., October 7, allowing the Hilltoppers to score two touchdowns in the final quarter to win 20-7. Both teams were scoreless at the half and at the beginning of the fourth period the count was 7-7. Bill Hinkie scampered across for Tech’s lone touchdown, Freddie Mi chael kicking the extra point. On the road the following week, the Techmen were nosed out 7-6 by the Birmingham-Southern Panthers when the Alabama lads scored a touchdown and converted an extra point in the final quarter. James Tinsley threw a touchdown pass to Sammy Gooch in the first quarter to put the Techsters in the lead, but the fates were against them as the final score indicated. Meeting an arch-rival, Louisiana State Normal, in the annual State Fair classic at Shreveport, Tech was completely overpowered, 26-0. The Demons, who completed their season undefeated, dis¬ played too much scoring-punch for the Ruston lads. Lack of reserve power hampered the Bull¬ dogs’ attack. Back on home soil for the first time since September 29, the Bulldogs halted a four-game losing streak by downing the University of Tampa Spartans, 13-0. Freddie Michael scored one touchdown and added an extra point while Jim Zoeller, another sophomore back, tallied the other goal- crossing. N REVIEW Before a homecoming crowd of 5,000, the local Canines met their downstate cousins, the Southwestern Bulldogs, November 4, in the Tech stadium and battled the Lafay¬ ette squad to a 6-6 deadlock until the final seconds of the game when a Southwestern player picked an at¬ tempted Tech lateral out of the air and ran for a touch¬ down to give the Lafayette team a 12-6 victory. James Tinsley scored the lone Tech touchdown. Spoiling Louisiana college’s homecoming activities in Pineville, November 11, Freddie Michael kicked a field goal in the final minutes of play to give the Tech gridsters a 10-9 decision. In the second quarter, James Tinsley ran 80 yards for a touchdown and Michael converted the extra point. Facing Texas College of Mines and its Ken Heineman, “Little All-American” backfield ace, out at El Paso, November 18, the Techmen were trounced, 27-0. Miles from home, the local grid- ders received plaudits from the fans for their determined playing right up to the final whistle. This marked the final road trip of the season for the Canines. The annual Thanksgiving holiday game with Centenary brought down the curtain on Tech’s grid¬ iron activities for the year, November 24, the Gentlemen scoring a 19-0 win over the local team in a drizzling rain.

George Blue” Hogg, Freshman Coach Freshman Coach Becoming head coach of freshman athletics in the fall of 1934, Coach George “Blue” Hogg has consistently turned out out¬ standing teams in whatever sport he has coached. His freshman basketball team this year won the championship of the Ouachita Valley league, composed of vari¬ ous independent teams in this area. This spring Coach Hogg was assigned the task of tutoring the varsity baseball team, with only two members of the 1939 champion¬ ship squad returning. At the time of this writing, he had led the K-9 to five wins, two defeats and one tie. Although the freshmen footballers failed to win a game in their four starts last fall, the Bullpups came up with their usually well-drilled grid machine, founded in the fundamentals of the Notre Dame style of play as used at Louisiana Tech. Several of the outstanding members of the 1939 frosh are being counted on for berths on the varsity squad next year. Freshman Footbal Below are pictured the members of the 1939 freshman grid squad.

THE BOXING B EGINNING the 1940 season with a bright outlook, the Tech boxing squad seemed well on its way to a successful season but injuries and lack of candidates hampered its chances. As a result, Tech wound up the campaign with only two wins, two draws and three losses. Joe Wojecki, a 1939 veteran, scored three wins and dropped two bouts, fighting in both 120- and 127-pound classes. Bobby Hand, undefeated in nine encounters before the 1940 season, won six decisions against one loss in both 120- and 127-pound divisions. Raymond Walton, a 135-pound newcomer to the mitt squad, won five bouts without a loss. ' Hugh Essary, another newcomer, won two and lost three at the 145- and 155-pound posts. Bill Maxwell, stepping into the ring for the first time, wound up the season with one draw and five losses in the 145- and 155-pound classes. Inexperience handicapped the Techsters. Dwaine Martin, fighting his second year with the Bulldogs, won three bouts, losing four, in the 165-pound slot. Rip Pipes, a veteran 175-pounder on the Tech team, piled up three victories, three losses and one draw before he discarded the mittens for the season. In only three instances did Tech have heavyweight representatives. Harry Widener won once in that weight while Edd Lee Roberts dropped two decisions as a heavy. Arkansas Tech came to Ruston, January 25, with a squad sprin¬ kled with Golden Glovers but left town on the short end of a 5 1 2 -2 1 2 score. Wojecki, Hand, Pipes and Widener won by deci¬ sions while Walton won by a forfeit and Bill Maxwell drew. Pipes outpointed Ragan Kinney who captained the 1939 Golden Gloves team against Italy. In one of the most startling upsets in 1940 ring history, Tech gave the Southwestern Bulldogs two bouts on forfeits and then trounced the visitors, 5-3, February 8. Previously, the down- staters had beaten Louisiana State university’s Southeastern conference champs, Mississippi State, Ole Miss and Loyola. Wojecki, Hand and Martin won by decisions while Pipes scored a technical knockout when he opened a cut over his opponent’s eye. Raymond Walton registered the outstanding victory of the night when he flattened Southwestern’s favored Thurman Pardue in the second round. Tech forfeited both the 155-pound and heavyweight classes. Joe Wojecki, 118 lbs. Bobby Hand, 127 lbs. SEASON-1940 Down at Lafayette in a return engagement, the locals were able to get only one win and a draw, dropping a 6J4-154 decision to Southwestern. Raymond Walton won his second straight tech¬ nical knockout and Pipes drew in the 175-pound class. Tech forfeited the 120-, 145-pound and heavyweight divisions. Enroute to Washington, D. C., and a bout for the second straight year with Columbus university’s Explorers, the Techsters dropped a return match to Arkansas Tech, 3-5. Hand and Essary won decisions while Walton received a forfeit. Tech forfeited the 120-pound class as Wojecki was unable to make his weight. Pipes and Martin lost by knockouts and Edd Roberts, heavyweight, fighting his first bout for Tech, and Bill Maxwell, lost decisions. By the same score as their first meeting, the Techsters drew with the Washington ringmen, 4-4, February 25. Bobby Hand was shifted down to the 120-pound post so Joe Wojecki, unable to make his usual weight, could do business in the 127-pound class. Wojecki, Hand and Essary won decisions while Walton scored a technical knockout over his opponent. In a confusing decision, Edd Roberts was announced loser by a knockout al¬ though he was standing on his feet waiting for word to “go in’’ when the referee raised his opponent’s hand. In their final home match of the season, March 7, the Techmen drew with Loyola, 4-4. Bobby Hand, again fighting in the 120- pound slot, won his thirteenth intercollegiate victory. Joe Wojecki, on duty in the 127-pound division, dropped a close bout to Sewelle Whitney, national intercollegiate champion. Dwaine Martin scored a k nockout in the 165-pound class, while Rip Pipes won a technical knockout in the lightheavy bout. Walton won a decision to continue undefeated for 1940. The heavyweight bout was forfeited to Loyola. Closing out the season, March 13, the Bulldogs lost to Loyola in New Orleans, 3-5. Hand and Walton won decisions while Martin scored his second straight knockout. Tech forfeited the heavyweight bout. As the curtain was rung down on the 1940 campaign, Athletic Director Joe Aillet announced that Tech would not participate in intercollegiate boxing in 1941. Top: Raymond Walton, 135 lbs.

BASKETBALL Winning only four games (all from one opponent) within the Louisiana Intercollegiate conference and beating only one team outside the league in a 23-game schedule, Tech’s basketball squad suffered its most disastrous season in years. With four first-stringers back to begin the hardwood campaign, Coach Herb Duggins was encouraged. How¬ ever, Charlie Carr, star forward, and Ralph O’Haver, aggressive guard, resigned from the squad, leaving their places to be filled by players who were seeing their first varsity service with the Canine hoopsters. Opening the season in Nacogdoches, Tex., the Bulldogs dropped two straight to Stephen F. Aus¬ tin’s Lumberjacks, 41-66 and 37-48. Playing their first game on home soil, the Ruston quintet trounced Ouachita college’s Tigers of Arkadelphia, Ark., 42-38, but Texas Christian’s Horned frogs turned on the heat in the final minutes of the second home contest to down the Bulldogs 39-32. The powerful Texas Tech Red Raiders were next home opponents of the Canines for two games and left Ruston on the long end of 44-23 and 30-28 scores. In their first game in the newly-organized Louisiana Intercollegiate conference, the Techmen romped over Louisiana college in Pineville 43-24. However, playing host to Normal’s Demons in their next game, the local cagers lost 37-55. In their third conference tilt, the Bulldogs were de¬ feated at Lafayette by Southwestern, 36-43. In a return game with Louisiana college in Ruston, the Techsters scored an easy 46-2 ( victory. Louisiana Normal met the Bulldogs a few nights later in Natchitoches and continued their win¬ ning ways, dropping the locals 56-25. Back at Tech, in the third meeting of the two teams, the Demons again outscored the Canines 41-34. Louisisana college lost to the locals for the third straight time at Pineville in the Techmen’s next cage test, the score being 32-21. Centenary invaded Ruston a few nights later to open a The Varsity Basketeers Shown below are the members of the 1940 Tech basketball team. Front row, left to right: Laughlin, Corley.

Southwestern visited the local court next and dropped in enough tallies to hang up a 43-28 win. In Shreveport for their next game, Tech again lost to Centenary’s Gentlemen, this time by a score of 38-45. Normal then inflicted the next wrnund in the locals’ already injured pride by closing out their series for the season with a 67-44 lacing. Determined to make a better showing, the Tech quintet played such a splendid game against Centenary in their next game that the gents were barely able to eke out a 42- 41, victory, Tech holding a slight lead as the game went into the final few seconds of play. Playing their final game with the Wildcats of Louisiana college, the Techmen made it four straight by drubbing the downstaters 32-21 at home. Southwestern won their third straight game over the locals at Ruston a few nights later, 48-34, and then played host at Lafayette long enough to inflict a 46-29 lacing. In the final game of the season, the Ruston boys put forth a mighty effort to win, but Cen¬ tenary’s machine-like club nosed them out 40-38, in Shreveport. Th e Season Tech Opponents 41 Stephen F.

Their record includes winning both halves of the Ouachita Valley league chase, three wins over the Centenary Junior Gents and an even break with Louisiana college’s Kittens. A margin of three points separated victory from defeat. A one-point loss to Louisiana college ' s frosh in Pineville and a 22-24 decision lost to the Ansley Independents early in the Ouachita Valley league campaign was the slight mar¬ gin that separated the Tech first-year men from a perfect season, a record that is very seldom achieved in basketball. Coach “Blue” Hogg’s cagers have turned in the most outstanding record of any Tech team this year, and one of the players is almost certain to be wearing the Red and Blue on the varsity squad next season, accord¬ ing to Coach Hogg. He is Earl Baker, who holds some kind of a scoring record by zip¬ ping 286 points through the netting during the season, lead the Ouachita Valley League in scoring. Besides Baker, who was chosen on the all- star team of the league at one of the forward posts, possibly the other most outstanding member of the squad was Joe Cavanaugh of Hornbeck, who was chosen one of the guards on the league’s all-star aggregation. Other outstanding players include Billy Cobb who teamed with Baker at the forward posi¬ tion, Gene Nunnally, tall center, and Elgin McFadden, running-mate with Cavanaugh at guard.

BASEBALL FORECAST o u T F I E L D E R S c A T C H E R S I N F I E L D E R S When the call was issued for 1940 baseball can¬ didates, Coach George “Blue” Hogg was faced with rebuilding a championship team with only two veterans still on hand. Pat Meeks and “Lefty” Miller were the only players left that saw service with the 1939 team which scored 291 runs in 26 games and claimed the mythical S. I. A. A. cham¬ pionship. Coach Hogg, who succeeded Ray Davis as base¬ ball mentor after the latter had been dismissed at mid-term, decided to convert Meeks into a pitcher. To complete his mound staff, he chose Willard Penton, L. A. Hamilton, “Red” Shelby, James Tinsley, “Lefty” Miller, Tom Henderson and John Ed Barnes. Back of the plate, he placed James Hendricks who had seen service with the undefeated 1939 freshman team. Harold Dickens was on hand to give aid if needed. Ora Merriott, a junior, won the first base job with Arthur Thigpen and George Rooney as alternates. Freddie Michael, another former member of the freshman squad, was as¬ signed to second base with Robert James Lancas¬ ter on hand to replace him. Waldo Horn and Othel Payne, both sophomores, completed the infield at shortstop and third base, respectively. John Ed Rabun and Clem Byrd were kept handy in case of injury to the left side of the infield. Dan Otts, a small sophomore with power be¬ tween his shoulders, was put in left field while another Billy Hinton, a junior, roamed the center garden. Joe Walsh, another junior, was given the job of patrolling right field. Tinsley, Meeks and Tim Tyler were available for reserve outfield duty. Opening the season in Ruston against the Iowa Hawkeyes, Big Ten champions of 1939, the locals dropped the initial contest of a three-game series, 7-10. However, the Bulldogs led in hits, 19-13. Meeks started the opening game but was replaced in the sixth by Earl Baker, freshman pitcher. Although leading again in hits against the Hawkeyes, 10-8, the Techsters lost the second game, 4-7. James Tinsley and Frank Taylor, freshman hurler, were on the mound for Tech. The third game of the Iowa series was called in the eleventh with the score tied, 2-2. Willard Penton performed for six innings in the third contest with Taylor and Baker finishing up. Freshman Earl Baker went the route, for the Canines in the opening game of a two-game series Outfielders: Morrison, Hinton, Otts and Walsh. Catchers: James Hendricks and Harold Dickens.

In the second game against the Illinois team, the Techsters scored heavily in the last three in¬ nings to win, 8-7. Freshman Eugene Nunnally started on the mound but was relieved early in the game by Robert James Lancaster. Lancaster had heretofore been used only as a utility infielder but showed much promise as a moundsman. Opening S. I. A. A. play, the Techsters opened up a barrage of base hits to slaughter Millsaps, 17- 5, on the Ruston diamond. Pat Meeks had little difficulty in scoring his first victory of the 1940 campaign. The second game of the series was rained out. In the first game of the Louisiana Intercollegi¬ ate conference, the Techsters nosed out South¬ western, 7-6. James Tinsley went the full nine innings for the locals. At the time of this writing, no other games had been played. Steady improvement was noticed, however, in the games already played and a very optimistic view was held by local supporters.

Cecil Crowley, former Centenary college star and coach at the Male High school of Louisville, Ky., was signed as assistant football and head basketball mentor. Eddie “Doc” Wojecki was retained as head trainer for the Canines and George “Blue” Hogg remained in charge of freshman athletics. He is also coach of the varsity baseballers. Closing out their spring practice session with a regulation intrasquad game, the Bulldogs show promise of developing into one of the outstanding teams in the state during the 1940 season. Over¬ burdened with sophomores during the 1939 cam¬ paign, next year’s pigskin-toters should have the experience necessary to carry them through a schedule which opens with Louisiana State university in Baton Rouge. Fresh blood coming up from the 1939 Bullpups will add to the chances of the team for a successful season. At the left, the gridders go through calisthenics during spring practice.

Special effort was made to present an entirely new marching routine at each successive appearance. The Ly re Club The Lyre Club is composed of band members of at least one semester’s standing. It was formed by those who wished additional opportunity to take part in ensemble music. This group plays for special programs when the band as a whole is unable to do so.
