The winner of the Sock and Buskin Club award for 1935 is second from the reader ' s left in the first row (the fourth person in all from the left). The president of the senior class was not really trying to hide behind the skirts of the tenth woman from the left (first row); he is getting a good look at his alma mater with one eye above the lady ' s coiffure. The vice president is the ninth head from the right, back row. The treasurer is eleventh from the right in the first row. The secretary eludes our searching eye. The editor of the 1935 DeSoto was playing hide-and-seek and, somewhat to his surprise, managed to get his head above and between and behind the shoulders of the second and third men from the right, just in time to hear the cameraman say cuckoo.

A. competition with almost a new team Coach Curlin was faced with the job of filling vacancies mostly with Sophomores, as four of these made the regular team after the absence of Frank Sanders early in the season. Although the season was not the best in the school ' s history, it can not be overlooked that they played the longest and strongest schedule in the history of the school. Next season will find Coach Curlin with only one position to fill, that one being center, vacated by Bill Scheerer. The following statements give an idea of how the 1935 ediKon fared: Frank Sanders — Though with the team but a short time, he was a great inspiration to the team. Frank left early in the season to accept a coaching position at Osceola, Ark. Frank was a veteran of two seasons and a smart ball player, making his position hard to fill, hie finished his college very successfully. Milton Mayo — A promising Sophomore of whom greater things are expected in the near future. Mayo is one of the best guards in this section. Many of the best offensive men he encountered will verify this statement. Mayo could always be counted on to score a good share of the points. Francis Schwaiger — Won the admiration of his team mates by his fine leadership and his ability to fight consistently. Schwaiger ' s work on the pivot the latter part of the season gives Coach Curlin the assurance that he will have a dependable man for that position next year. William Scheerer — A cool-headed center who kept the opposition troubled with his consist- ency to hit the basket with his jump-spin shot from almost any angle. Scheerer played the pivot position in fine style. Scheerer closed his college career with a good record both offensively and defensively. Barthell Gray — A shifty floorman and a clever ball handler. Not only was Gray aggressive but a good long shot as well. His services are being counted on to form part of the nucleus of the squad next year. Gray also ranks as a Sophomore. Riley hiarris — The rangy forward who could always be depended on to give his best at all times. Harris caused many teams trouble with his accurate crip shooting. With this year ' s experience to his credit Harris shows good prospects of becoming a scoring ace. Albert Tucker — The fastest man on the team but due to the lack of height was seriously handi- capped. Tucker seldom failed to score in a pinch. Tucker will certainly make someone work next year for a position. John McKinstry — A good long shot and a very valuable substitute. McKinstry played good ball throughout the entire season and always met the requirement when called into action. McKinstry finishes this year and leaves a good record as a ball player. Reginold Ferguson — A real sport and promising prospect for regular center position next year. Ferguson has a rare art of handling the ball and a good freak shot. Ferguson has plenty of ability and next season will probably find him in the starting line-up. Robert Uselton — Without a doubt the most conscientious worker that ever donned a uniform at Teachers College. Though a substitute, Uselton offered plenty of competition to the regular guards and in this way helped the team considerably. Thomas Rochelle — A lanky guard who always seemed to have a witty remark to cheer the team when things were none too bright. Rochelle usually stood his own in the game and was a very handy man at guard. His ability to take the ball off the backboard was his chief characteristic. jciejjc 53 {The BeSOTO} GIRLS ' BASKETBALL The Tigresses had the best season ever this year. They were defeated but once, and won eleven games by good margins, scoring 507 points to their opponents ' 301 during the season, THE 1935 SEASON January 5 Teachers, 19 January 14 Teachers, 30 January 18 Teachers, 41 January 26 Teachers, 62 January 29 Teachers, 31 February I ...Teachers, 31 February 6.-.

The players in the M.V.C. games were: FIRST TEAM — Goodwin, Murphy, Lanigan, Hugo, Trudel, Pegues. SECOND TEAM— Ashburn, Butts, Distretti, Williams, Shinault, Smith, Holloway. Murphy was high scorer for the season, with 183 points; Goodwin second with 177 points; Lan- igan third with 117 points. HAZEL GOODWIN played four years as a Tigress forward. Hazel is a speedy player and is especially noted for her one-hand shots. Her loss will be felt nex1 year. Goody made the all M.V.C. mythical team for two successive years, 1934 and 1935, and won the trophy as the most valuable player on the team in 1933. MARJORIE HUGO played guard four years, although a forward in high school. She Is good at faking, and can play both forward and guard positions well. Hugo has excelled because she never gives up. She won the trophy as the most valuable player in 1934. VIRGINIA TRUDEL is a four year star also, and is another forward who developed into a guard after entering college. Trudy is a steady player and is especially good at getting the ball off the back-board. She was selected as the team ' s most valuable player for 1935. HAZEL PEGUES has played on the team for two years. She is a fine player and is noted for her faking and for dribbling past a forward on the opposing team. Piggy can be depended on at shifting under the goal. She was selected as an all M.V.C. player this year, and will be with us again next season. MARY LANIGAN, although a freshman, was a great addition to the team this year. She is good as a pivot forward, and we ' ll see her again next year. 54 {The BeSOTO} JANE MURPHY is also a freshman addition to the team. She played forward this year, although she was previously jump center in a three division game. Murphy developed a fine over- head shot. No one ever got the tip-off from her at jump. We hope to see more of her next year. MIGNON SHINAULT has played guard for two years and can always be depended on. She will be with us next year, and we shall expect much from her. MARJORIE ASHBURN was a freshman guard this season. She will be a very good reinforce- ment to the team next year. CELESTE WILLIAMS played both as forward and as guard. She will give someone a run for either position next season. MARThIA BUTTS was another freshman forward. Although she was unable to practice the first part of the season, she learned our plays and made a place on the squad. She is a good passer and a fine shot. OLGA DISTRETTI was a freshman guard. Watch her next year; she may do things. NANCY SMITH was a good little freshman forward. Her small size was a handicap, but she is a smooth player and handles the ball well. We ' ll look for her next season. EVELYN SWAIN, a frosh forward. Evelyn was a good jump forward and pivot. Unfortunately, owing to a knee injury, she was unable to complete the season. NELL HOLLOWAY was a faithful player at practice. She is quick and we expect to see more of her next season. Members of the Freshman squad were: Olga Distretti, Margaret Cashdollar, Nell Holloway, Marjorie Ashburn, Celeste Williams, Mary Lanigan, Geneva Pickard, Nancy Smith, Elliotte Davidson, Jane Murphy, Dorothy James, Evelyn Swain, Martha Butts. O iSQJZ 55 {The DeSOTO); JC gejjC iCUS C 56 {The DeSOTO )J 57 {The DeSOTO) FOOTBALL The Teachers College football team of 1934 had a very successful season. Although they won but half of their games, they made their opponents, including Ole Miss, respect them. They gave the home town folks many thrills by v inning all of their home games. Dick Miller, when he returned a kick-off for a touch-down, brought us memories of little Berry McAlister of 1933. Ole Miss got a real scare in the first half of their game when the Tutors outplayed them the entire half. All in all, the Tigers had a real crop of bruisers. Coach Curlin and Assistant Coach McKeen worked faithfully and deserve much credit for the success of the team. They made some very good football players out of several huskies and im- proved the veterans. BACKS C. star tullback, played a real game of football throughout J. R. Lancaster, four year man and an all M. the season. Frank Sanders, Captain of the ' 34 squad and a four year man, was a real linebacker, passer, and blocker. Dick Miller, star quarterback and a shifty ball carrier, will leave a vacancy hard to fill. Thomas Wright, a speedy number four, gave the spectators a thrill while at the safety ppsition. He was a neat passer, and could really circle the ends. Ed Parker, sophomore blocking back, will be remembered for his blocking and tackling in the West Kentucky game. John Michael, line plunging fullback, was iust a sophomore but he played a real game. Much is expected of him next year. Nelson Wilson, halfback, showed promise of being a star next year. Sam Bauman, a blocking back, was a power while backing a line. ENDS Robert Squealy Czerwinski, all M. V. C. end, made the 41 pass famous for Teachers College. He was high score man on his team. Harry Davis, star end, battled the whole game and deserved much credit at the end position. Don Ferguson, four year man, was an outstanding player as a defensive end. Carroll Smith, end and running back, rendered much service to the team. Bobby Clower, sophomore end, worked faithfully for the team. TACKLES Jack Dodds, senior tackle, ended his career with a very good season. Casey Maloney, a mountain at the tackle position and a bear with his muzzle on, played outstanding ball for the Tutors. Christian Pontius, star tackle, gave the opponents that well-known-lick. He ' ll always remember Ole Miss. Joe Gresham, senior tackle, was very consistent and gave much service to the team. J. B. Price, rangy tackle, played good ball, although he had a bad finger. Frank Posey, sophomore tackle, will be hard to keep off the regular team next year. W ■t: Jmr. •1. ' ip ' ' p ' ' m ' ' ' V ■ , a - pi - W v fj r ■ f ' u {The BeSOTO} GUARDS J. D. McClanahan, all M. V. C. guard and alternate captain, ended his career with another very successful season. Ed Martin, all M. V. C. guard and four year man, played his regular game at the guard position. S. E. Kidd, senior guard, proved to be a real scrapper on the football field. John Colby, sophomore, showed promise of being a star guard next year. CENTERS Sam McClanahan, shifted to center from the tackle position, filled his post very well. He is expected to be the best center in the conference next year. Clyde Gilliland, senior player, worked faithfully at the center position. Paul Davis, center, deserves much credit for his faithful and hard work while on the gridiron. Hugh Drewry, center, will give someone much opposition at the center position next year. He is a sophomore. Albert Tucker, Manager and relief back, worked hard for the Tutors.

I. 0; at Cookeville Sunflower Jr. 0; at Memphis FRESHMAN FOOTBALL The freshman squad of 1934 proved to be the best team of freshmen Teachers College has had in several years. They made a good shov ing in the fev games played, and there appeared to be many future stars in the group. Playing the Union University freshmen on Memorial Field, they won the game twenty-seven to nothing. A few weeks later, +hey played Jonesboro Jr. College and won the game forty-two to nothing. David Price made much yardage as a line plunger, and proved to be a real ball carrier. Johnnie Parsons was a star at the quarter position. Mitchel Parsons proved to be a terror at end. Hill and Jennings are the future star linemen for the Tutors. Other players on the squad will make valuable men for the future team. jcijejjc irac c 59 g(T ie DeSOTO) VARSITY FOOTBALL SQUAD FRONT ROW — Left to right; Sam McClanahan, C; John Colby, G.; Joe Gresharn, T.; Tommy Wright, H.B.; Dicic Miller, Q.B.; Frank Sanders, H.B.; J.

COMBS Winner of the Sock and Buskin Club Award for 1934-35 One of the club ' s outstanding players, Miss Combs ' work this year has been es- pecially memora ble: her Margaret in DEAR BRUTUS was a delightful girl in the early teens; her Cordelia in KING LEAR was a mature woman combining poise and a fine pride with wholesome- ness of character; both interpretations showed a richness and finish not often found even in professional groups. Not- able, too, was her Ophelia, in HAMLET, two seasons ago. Miss Combs has given good performances in a number of other roles as well, and was secretary-treasurer of the club for 1932-33 and 1933-34. Previous winners of the Sock and Buskin Club award, 1929-1934: Eugene Bence, Frank Magoffin, Martha Dower, Joan Sea- ton, Alfred C nyers, Melba Parr, T. B.
