C. SPIRIT HUGH BRIMM HAROLD ANDING Head Cheerleader EUGENE BURNETT CHOCTAWS on For the first game of the season, the Choctaws went to LaFay- ette, La., for a game with Southwestern on Sept. 25. There was no score until the Choctaws broke the ice in the third period to lead by 7-6. They ran the margin up to thirteen points, only to see the Bulldogs tie the score as a result of Choctaw fumbles. The game ended in a 13-13 tie. The Choctaws next met the Chattanooga Moccasins in Chatta- nooga on the night of October 2. The Moccasins scored early in the first period, only to see James Hitt intercept a pass on the Moccasin fifteen-yard line and race the rest of the field to place the score at 7-6 in favor of the Moccasins. The two teams surged back and forth with no advantage, and the game ended 7-6. Spring Hill’s Badgers came to Jackson for the first home game of the Choctaws. The Choctaws were lax in the first half and let the Badgers take a 7-0 lead. Led by James and Joel Hitt, 98 THE 193 JAMES HITT Co-Captain Halfback All-American Merit, halfback of All-Dixie Team, and a great player. HASKELL JACKSON Tackle A rugged, hard-charging tackle with unusual stamina and aggres- siveness. JAMES McCOLLUM Halfback Always an asset to the Choctaw squad because of his determina- tion and perseverance. FRANK BLACKWELL Tackle With exceptional ability to diag- nose plays, and a smooth worker on offense. the GRIDIRON R EARL FORTENBERRY Co-Captain Center A smart center, a good leader, and a student of the game. JULIAN KALINOWSKI End Julie was one of the hardest tacklers on the entire team. HERMAN NEWSOME Tackle Ever a bulwark in the path of the opponent’s plays. OTHO WINSTEAD Fullback A hard-plunging back, good when running or when passing. I B the Choctaws swept through their opponents for four scores in the last half to win, 28-7. At Murray, Ky., the Choctaws reached their highest peak of the season. The powerful Thoroughbreds opened the game with an uninterrupted drive for a touchdown. The Choctaws came back to score three times in as many quarters. The game ended in a victory for the Choctaws, 20-14. The Choctaw-Major clash, the first of a series of two, played before a large Fair crowd, ended in disappointment for the Choctaw supporters. The Choctaws knocked at the Major goal many times, but each advance was repulsed. The game wore on until the last quarter, when, like a flash, an alert Major snatched a Choctaw pass and raced for a touchdown. The Choctaws made nine first downs to the Majors’ one, but lost the game, 7-0. 99 E S M A N CHOCTAWS on October 30th was the testing day for the Choctaws as to whether the demoralizing defeat at the hands of the Majors would make or break the team. The rejuvenated Delta State Green Wave provided the opposition in the only game of the season to be played on Provine field. The first half ended scoreless, with neither team holding an advantage. The break came in the third quarter when Joel Hitt raced 73 yards for a touchdown. After that the Chocs dominated the Greenie eleven and rolled up two more touchdowns for a 20-0 victory, with the Hitt brothers stepping off the yardage. Into the hills of Arkansas for a game with the Ouachita Tigers at Arkadelphia went the Choctaws the following week. The Indians marched down the field for a touchdown without losing the ball, but later on in the game weakened to let the inspired Tigers romp to a 31-13 victory. GARLAND STEWART Guard One of two Sophomore lettermen with promise of becoming a great guard. EUGENE CROSS Center Gene is a hard worker and an accurate passer at center. VICTOR MONTGOMERY Guard A small but fast man with un- usual fight and aggressiveness. LAMAR SMITH Guard Lamar played most of the game in the opponents’ backfield. IOO 3 7 T H E 1 9 DICK EDMONSON Quarterback A masterful field general, and an invaluable asset to the Choc- taw team. JOEL HITT Halfback An accurate passer, a good punt- er, and a hard runner. FRED GREEN End A good pass receiver and a con- sistent player. BOBBY JACKSON End Good as a leader, a pass re- ceiver, and a good all-round player. MERVIN DUNAWAY Halfback An excellent place-kicker and a good defensive man. Red was valuable. RIDIRON The flying Petrels of Oglethorpe University came to Jackson for a clash with the Chocs the next Saturday. The Choctaws intercepted a lateral to lead, 7-0, at the half, and marched to three more in the second half, winning 26-0. With almost two weeks until the second meeting with Millsaps, the Choctaws started to work determined on gaining revenge. Each day the Indians drilled with solemn determination, with no one venturing a prediction as to how the game would come out. On Thanksgiving Day, the game with Millsaps began, with both teams playing cautiously. Soon Fred Greene scored on a bullet pass from Joel Hitt. Then Red Dunaway inter- cepted a Major pass and raced through the purple team for a second Choc score. Frank Blackwell rushed a Millsaps kicker, who fumbled behind his own goal line, allowing Frank to cover the ball for a third score. Completely routed in the first half, the Majors came back in the second half to score on a pass. However, the Choctaws defeated them, 19-7. IOI R I B E S M A N tf CHOCTAWS on Dick Hitt took over the coaching reins of the Choctaw basketball team for his first year and led it through a rather unsuccessful season so far as winning games is concerned; but he finally found the right combination to end the season with a blaze of glory by winning the Dixie Conference championship. The Choctaws opened the season by being defeated by Mississippi State at Starkville, 36-25, and also by Illinois College at Clinton, 39-29. Immediately after the holidays the Tribe took a trip into the north-central states where they won few games but earned some valuable experience. The Choctaws opened the trip by defeating the fast Memphis Y. team, 32-28, then lost to Illinois Normal at Car- bondale, 35-32, and won from Illinois College at Jacksonville, 29-25. Sparks College then defeated the Tribe, 45-40, as did the Murray, Kentucky, Thoroughbreds, 42-28. On the last game of the trip the Choctaws lost a close one to Union University, 40-37. Playing on the home court once more, the Choctaws lost to Louis- iana Normal, 38-32, and to Murray Teachers, 33-30. On a trip through Louisiana Loyola defeated the Tribe, 44-40; but the Indians HERMAN NEWSOME JOEL HITT TOMMY CHANNEL ELDON McPHE ARSON Captain WILLIAM EAGER 4 4 4 4 4 the COURT were finally able to turn the tables and win from Southwestern Louisiana, 28-25. Then they were defeated by Louisiana Normal, 42-40. Playing a greatly improved game, the Choctaws won from Union University on the campus, 38-35, and routed the Millsaps Majors, 48-26. The Celtics went through the formality of de feating the Tribe in Jackson, 50-38. Then Loyola defeated the locals in a return game, 37-27. The Choctaws ran over the Majors twice in succession, 58-31 and 60-38. Centennary came to the campus to take away a close victory, 41-37. Mississippi State eked out a 46-42 victory over the Tribe in Jackson, and the Choctaws defeated Mexico City Y.M.C.A. in an international game, 46-27. The Choctaws closed their regular season by defeating the Millsaps Majors for the fourth straight time, 38-20. Entering the Dixie Conference tournament in Jackson as a dark horse, the Choctaws came through to win.

P. BAILEY, JR. First Base More than just a good first baseman, and a dangerous hitter. Chosen to serve as captain for the 1937 season. HUBERT SHEFFIELD Pitcher Serving as captain of the team dur- ing 1936 “Bull” was a great factor in winning games for the Chocs. TRUMAN MARLER Catcher An improved Sophomore with the ability to handle pitchers as well as being a heavy hitter. JAMES McCOLLUM Outfield Jocko had an uncanny ability for getting hits when runs were needed. A real asset to the team. Coached by Stanley Robinson and captained by Hubert Shef- field, the 1936 Mississippi College baseball team won nine games and lost seven in intercollegiate competition. They played some of the best of college teams and showed two of the best of college pitchers in Lane and Sheffield and were always dangerous at the plate. The Indians went to Baton Rouge to play the first two games of the season with the L. S. U. Tigers, losing both games by scores of 11-5 and 6-5. Minnesota’s Big Ten Championship Gophers won two games from the Tribe in Clinton. The score of the first game was 7-2. The Chocs gathered as many hits as the Gophers, but failed to take advantage of them. Illinois Wesleyan won the first of a two-game series by a score of 9-6 by using a parade of pitchers, but Joe Lane subdued them in the second game, £-l ; no THE 1937 T 1 the DIAMOND Captain Sheffield lost a ten-inning game to Louisiana Tech in Ruston, 11-10, but Joe Lane again pitched a fine game to win, 6-2. In a slugging match the Choctaws defeated the Delta State Greenies on Provine Field, 11-9. The Indians scalped the Majors in the first series of the season played in Jackson, with Joe Lane winning the first game, 8-1, and Captain Sheffield pitching the second game as the Tribe hammered out a 15-1 victory. Jocko McCollum singled in the twelfth with two men out and the bases full to win 9-8 over Birmingham-Southern. In the second series with Millsaps, played in Clinton, the Tribe again was victorious. Joe Lane pitched the first game for all-8 victory, and Sheffield won in a duel, 6-5. The Choctaws divided the last two games of the season with Louisiana Tech, losing 5-2, with Lane winning the second in a pitchers’ duel, 2-1. FRED GREEN Pitcher Besides filling his duties on the mound, Fred was good at third base when needed. JAMES HITT Outfield In addition to being a good fielder, James always came out of the game with several hits. DICK EDMONSON Outfield Dick was always reliable as an out- fielder and was exceptionally adept at filling the catcher’s por.t. JODY LYLE Shortstop Always good at the plate and a flaw- less fielder; especially good on throws to first base. TERRY HOLLOWELL Second Base Terry was a competent second base- man and a key man on double plays. Ill R I B E s M A N CHOCTAWS on the The 1936 Chotaw track team did not enjoy such a successful season as far as winni ng in dual meets is concerned, but suffering from graduations, the team did well. The team lacked sprinters and the weight men were inexperienced. Joe Ed Taylor, a Sophomore, was good on the mile and half-mile; Troy Mohon, a good pole vaulter, and James Hitt, on th ' high hurdles, high jump and broad jump, and Arnold Hederman showed promise on the low hurdles. Birmingham-Southern came to Clinton for the first dual meet of the season on the cinder paths of Provine Field. The Panthers piled up a total of 72 points, while the Indians were not far behind with 48. James Hitt was the high scorer of the day with 15 points. He placed first on the high jump, high hurdles and broad jump. Taylor came in first for the Choctaws on the half mile, and Mohon pole vaulted higher than anyone else for the afternoon. The Mississippi College relay team, composed o f Lee, Davis, Winstead, and Mohon, won from the Bir- mingham-Southern team. Winstead took second place in the 440-yard run. Burnett came in second on the mile run. Turcotte placed second with the shot put, and Sheffield sailed the discus for a second place. Winstead heaved the JAMES HITT Captain TROY MOHON JOE EDD TAYLOR OTIS ABLE Tke Atkletic Council The Athletic Council is composed of the three coaches, four members of the faculty, and three members of the student body. As its name im- plies, it is a board created for the purpose of guiding and controlling all phases and policies of athletics at Mississippi College. The Council serves specifically as a medium for the awarding of the varsity M” and freshman numeral by recommending to the student body those men it deems qualified for recognition and honor. Be- sides performing this important duty, the Ath- letic Council stands as an example of the success that may accrue from the harmonious coopera- tion of both students and faculty members and the more nearly complete understanding that is possible of existing between them. 114 THE 19 DR.

The club em- bodies the Choctaw” ideals of fine sportsman- ship, cooperation, and wholesome character- building in its spirit, and in keeping with these ideals, sponsors each year high school basketball tournaments, and the traditional M. C. Minstrel and Stunt Night. But perhaps the greatest sin- gle service the M” Club renders to Mississippi College is the coordinating of the various depart- ments of campus athletics into one unified yet many-sided activity. 115 R I B E S M A N FEATURES Qhrestman c 3Ml ■ 0N6 of the most cherished honors at Mississippi College is the privilege extended to leaders in its campus activities of including in the beauty Section of the yearbook young ladies of their choice to sponsor their re- spective organizations . ‘With commending pride uc he 1937 tribesman” presents he avorites Itychel c5Knn Hillman SPONSOR OF TRIBESMAN Virginia Huffman TRIBESMAN MAID OF HONOR SPONSOR OF STUDENT BODY Jane Qarol Ending CHOCTAW SPIRIT ( Marguerite Uanderburg SPONSOR OF SENIOR CLASS Betty Ormond SPONSOR OF JUNIOR CLASS V V V v v Qascile d Middleton SPONSOR OF SOPHOMORE CLASS oTt ary Jo Qlark SPONSOR OF FRESHMAN CLASS 7 (onnette ' T restridge SPONSOR OF ORCHESTRA m • • V y eSfyCarjone eTlflason SPONSOR OF BAND SPONSOR OF COLLEGIAN Qlotilde Garvey COLLEGIAN MAID OF HONOR SPONSOR OF MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION c n SPONSOR OF I.R.C.
