After two weeks of fall training, their cohorts were to meet Centenary, one of Louisiana ' s strongest teams, to be followed by South- eastern, Magnolia A. and M., Louisiana College, Millsaps, Tech, East Texas Teachers, Stephen F. Austin, Mississippi Teachers, and Southwestern. To cope with this formidable array of grid teams that were boasting strong experienced elevens, the Normal mentors had at their disposal a squad composed mostly of inexperienced men from which they were to mold a 1936 Demon team. But through splendid cooperation from the players, the coaches were able to put a team on the gridiron that retained Normal ' s position in the grid world. Aid- Paul Piazza, Stoner Moss c oacnes h With the addition of Coach Joe Aillet, formerly of Haynesville High School, to the Normal coaching staff, the De- mons, for the first time in the school ' s history, had two football mentors. Coach Aillet was assistant to Coach Harry Turpin, and devoted his tutor- ing to the Demon backneld. ing the inexperienced players was the splendid tutelage given by the two Normal mentors which is the best that is possible in the smaller college circles. When the curtain was drawn on the 1936 season Normal had five victories, four defeats, and one tie — three of their victories were gained in the last three contests of the year. There is no greater proof than this that the Demons ' inexperience was a great handicap in their 1936 season. From the team stars of future years loom. The sophomores were called upon to fill some important positions. This they did splendidly. Next year the Demons will have these boys to make their season even more successful than the past. With Captain Jackson and Alternate Captain Couch to lead a team that will In- fighting to the last. Normal ' s hopes are bright. t HILBORN, Back RUSSELL, Guard LEDET, Tackle COUCH. Back Under the guidance of Coaches Turpin and Aillet, the Louisiana State Normal football team, studded with sophomores, waded through a ten-game schedule with five victories, four defeats and one tie. The Demons opened the 1936 season against the strong Centenary Gentlemen in Shreveport. The Gents completed three long passes for a 21-0 triumph over the Purple and White. In the game against the Gents the Demons showed a sturdy defense offset by a slow, in- efficient offense. A week later, Friday night, September 26, the Southeastern Lions from Hammond, Louisiana, met the Demons on the Normal athletic field. The grid battle was waged on a soggy field immediately fol- lowing a heavy rain. In this first grid encounter at home the Demons were decidedly off-form, falling before the Southern team 34-6. South- eastern seems to have been much the better team, but the Lion ' s large V ' COYLE, Guard FLUORNOY, Tackle LOOMIS, Back score was largely because of the Demons ' slump. The charging and tackling displayed in the Centenary game were lacking in the contest with the Lions. On the following week-end the Demons made a trek into Arkansas where they broke into the win column by a 6-0 victory over Magnolia A. and M. A pass heaved by Steve Harmon to Perkins on the five- yard line with only thirty seconds left to play proved the deciding margin of a bitterly contested battle. Normal was by far the superior, but their offense lacked the punch to score. With the confidence gained by their first victory and the determina- tion to avenge defeats of last year, the Demons traveled to Pineville the following week-end to meet their traditional rival and Little Four foe, Louisiana College. Throughout the game Normal was the su- perior team and with their offense clicking as it had not in previous BANKSTON, Back COPE, Bac: MAXEY, Tackle SMOLINSKI. End games, the Demons trounced the Wildcats, 12-0. Captain Polly Piazza led the Sophomore line in a great display of charging and tackling. Ledet and Farr came in for their share of the honors. In the backfield Loomis, who replaced Captain Moss, after the latter was forced from competition because of an appendix operation, con- tinued his brilliant performance that was begun in the Centenary game. Following the Louisiana College game, the Demon ranks began to be riddled by injuries. In the Pineville contest, Mathis, Slack, Jack- son, and Coyle suffered injuries that prevented them from playing in Jackson the following week, where the Purple and White met Mill- saps. Absent also from the Demon line-up was Holloway, who re- signed from school immediately after the Louisiana College game. Holloway ' s absence from the squad along with Coyle ' s and Mathis ' left the Demons with only two guards, Piazza and Hilman. Badly ELKINS, End JACKSON, End SLACK, Tackle MAHFOUZ, Back battered, the Demons journeyed to Mississippi and held the Majors to a scoreless tie. In this game the Demons again suffered a loss when Vaughn received a broken leg which forced him from the line-up for the remainder of the season. The injury jinx returned to home soil for the Demons ' second grid game on their home field when they met the strong Tech eleven from Ruston. The Demons entered this encounter with eight regulars unable to play. After a valiant fight to keep the Normal colors afloat, the Demons were defeated by the heavier Tech team which for the first time in the 1936 season used the two-team system. Cap- tain Piazza, Ledet, Farr, Loomis, Couch, and all the Demons who played in this game played as good ball as they had all season, but Tech ' s reserves and experience were too much for the Normal eleven to cope with. WYATT, Back PARKER, Back T. ELKINS, Tackle PERKINS, End For the first time in the history of the school, the Normal met an out-of-state foe on Homecoming Day. Last season the annual grid Homecoming game was to be played against Tech, but because of a conflict with the L. S. U. -Arkansas game in Shreveport, the Home- coming date was changed and East Texas Teachers of Commerce, Texas, were played instead. The Lions from the Texas Teachers School brought a heavy, experienced squad that defeated the Demons, 20-0. The Texans showed too much power, and the Demons, still handicapped with injuries, battled in vain. Having four losses, two wins, and one tie thus far, the Demons entered the last lap of the season ' s schedule with the outlook for a successful season none too bright. Yet to be played were Stephen F. Austin, Mississippi State Teachers, and Southwestern. HARMON, Back MATHIS, Guard WAGLEY, Tackle PERNICI, Back By the time for the game with Stephen F. Austin most of the Demons had recovered from their injuries. Bankston, 220-pound fullback, who had been injured all season, played for the first time and scored six of the Demons ' twenty points in this contest. Also outstanding in the Demons ' 20-7 victory over the Lumberjacks were Wyatt and Austin, who received a twisted knee that kept him out of the remain- ing games. Other stars of the game were Loomis, Couch, and Hil- born in the backfield, and Farr, Piazza, Ledet, and Jackson in the line. Determined to end the season with a clear slate and anxious to win their last home game, the Demons went into the game against the strong Mississippi State Teachers in the best of spirit and condition. Mississippi Teachers were the heavy favorites, having defeated the Louisiana Tech squad, 12-7, earlier in the season; and so the Demons ' VAUGHN, Back WIGGINS, End HILLMAN, Guard FARR, Center KILLEN, Center opportunity to win at least one home game was very slim. However, when the last whistle blew, the Demons walked off the field with a 13-0 victory. Not once in the entire season had the Demons shown the class of football playing they showed that afternoon. Their block- ing, tackling, offensive, and defensive play were outstanding. Loomis reached the peak of a great season, his blocking and defensive play being an outstanding feature of the game. The playing of the other sophomores, notably Farr, Ledet, and Cope was also outstanding. Captain Polly Piazza, who never once during the season showed a variation from his fine playing, ended his grid career on the Normal field in a blaze of glory. Following the game word came from Tech that the Bulldogs had tied Louisiana College, 6-6. And the Demons who had been trounced by Tech, had defeated a team (Mississippi Teachers) that had defeated Tech and had beaten another team JAMES, Center HART, En d SCOTT, Guard (Louisiana College) that the Bulldogs were lucky to tie. This was some consolation to the Demons and convinced their followers that Tech ' s 32-0 triumph did not necessarily show the superior team. On Thanksgiving Day Coaches Turpin and Aillet steered the Demons to Lafayette to meet Southwestern. Highly hopeful of finishing the season in grand style, since the Mississippi Teachers ' obstacle had been cleared, the Demons moved into the Thanksgiving brawl against the hard-fighting Bulldogs and emerged victorious by the score of 6-0. Thus ended a very inconsistent season that was capped by a brilliant finish. The Demons who ended their college football career with the Turkey Day game are: Captain Piazza, Coyle, Slack, Mahfouz, Bankston, Wyatt, Austin, Vaughn, and Moss.

Under the excellent leadership of Coach Faize Mah- fouz, former grid star of Normal, the freshmen turned out a team of well coached and very scrappy dogs. The team represented material from all parts of the state at the beginning of practice and very soon got down to serious business. They furnished plenty of opposition for the varsity when they went through some of the longest and most strenuous scrimmages ever witnessed on a Normal gridiron. The Normal anxiously awaits the return of the freshmen next year and the varsity coach- ing staff will, no doubt welcome the entire freshman squad. LETTERM EN ul .... Allen, Eesorr.

Included in these 15 wins were 6 victories and no defeats in Little Four competition. This was the second successive year that a Normal five has gone undefeated against Little Four teams. Against their S. I. A. A. foes the Demons chalked up 10 victories to 3 defeats, 2 of which were administered by Centenary. With this record in S. I. A. A. circles, the Prather-coached cagemen received an invitation to the S. I. A. A. tournament in Bowling Green, Ky., where they were eliminated in the first round by Murray State Teachers, who went to the finals before being defeated. Climaxing the season ' s cage games was the Demons ' victory over Stephen F. Austin of Nacogdoches. The Texans had one of the most powerful teams in the Louisiana, Mississippi, or Arkansas region, and the Normal 48-34 victory was one of the few suffered by the Lumberjacks. Coach Prather, who ended his 24th year as tutor of athletics, had as his regular BURGESS COLQUETTE PERKINS LOFTIN WALKER McGHEE L ourt five two seniors, one junior, and two sophomores. Tullos, center, and Wyatt, forward, brought to a close their college basketball playing. The other starters were Loftin, forward, junior; Perkins and Elkins, guards and sophomores. With the return of three regulars from this year ' s cage team, along with the re- serves of the past season, Coach Prather is expected to produce another strong team next season. Promising among the sec- ond stringers who are expected to streng.hen the 1937-38 team are Colquette and Linzay, forwards; McGhee and Burgess, centers, and Walker and Parker, guards. If future predictions can be based on past results, a successful cage season for 1937-38 may be anticipated. V-v i COACH PRATHER ELKINS LINZAY SKINNER FRESHMAN BASKETBALL _2 The Imps, under the guidance of Coach Faize Mahfouz, went through a five-game sched- ule with three victories and two defeats. Louisiana Tech was the only college frosh five played by the local team. In the first encounter with the Tech freshmen, the Normal cagers won by a score of 27-26. In the second of a two-game series, the Imps were defeated 54-38 by the Tech Pups. The other defeat handed Coach Mahfouz ' s five was by the strong Castor High School courtmen, who were victorious by a 34-28 count. Winnfield High School was met and defeated twice, 44-22 and 38-32. Outstanding on the freshman squad were Perkins, guard; Peyton, forward, and Jackson, forward. Webb, Martin, Riley, Cobb, and Black, along with Dosher and Miller, were the other members of the freshman team.

A brief reference to the 1936 track season will be made. Last year Coach Turpin with eight varsity men survived the track schedule with a great deal of success, climaxing the season ' s competition by gaining third place in the S. I. A. A. meet at Pineville. Led by Wyatt, who gained 12 points for the Demons, the Normal squad gained 35 J 4 points. Meadows, with a first in the high jump and a third in the high hur- dles, garnered the next high in points scored. Other members of the team were Austin, Turner, McGee, William- son, Thomas, and Walker.

From the freshman squad of 1936, who captured first place in the freshman division of the S. I. A. A. meet, Coach Turpin has Harmon, Pernici, Wiggins, Ledet, Tom and John Ellcins, and Hart to strengthen his chance for a strong team. In addition to them, Parker and James, junior college men, and Scott, who was inel gible last season, are members of the team. Coach Turpin has high hopes for his 1937 aggregation and expects to have the best balanced team in his career of track coach at the Normal. SCOTT LEDET MERRITT ELKINS I sJ C Of e. =r FRESHMAN TRACK Prospects for a strong freshman track squad at the Normal Col- lege during the present season are bright. Last year the Normal freshman track team finished first at the S. I. A. A. track meet in Pineville. With several high school track stars at his disposal this year, Coach Turpin hopes to develop another formidable frosh squad. Prominent among the candidates for the track team are Webb and Jackson of Coushatta High. Both of these men were out- standing members of the Coushatta track team while in high school. Stansbury, an outstanding weight man, is from Byrd High School, Shreveport. Other members of the squad are Mad- dox, Haynesville; Gilson, Fair Park; Miller, Minden, and Martin, Natchitoches. k ;tl«t l At Ht -- 3 ,4 J !.

Sigma Tau Gamma is composed of chap- ters in teachers colleges and normal schools of standard collegiate rank and is distin- guished by being the oldest fraternity oi its kind in the country. Nu Chapter of Sigma Tau Gamma is the only national fraternity on the Normal campus. Its pur- pose is to establish a more intimate rela- tionship and brotherhood among its mem- bers and to serve in every way as an up- lifting factor in their lives. Like Sigma Delta Tau Fraternity, from which it emerged, Nu Chapter has a standard in which it demands only the best men as its members. It is necessary for them to reach a high moral and scho- lastic attainment before being accepted. SIGMA TAU GAMMA Robert Easi.ev Emmki ' i Cope ( )fficers . . . . .

Phi Kappa Nu has a present enrollment of thirty members and twenty-three pledges. It was organized to foster fellowship, and to establish more friendly relations be- tween the students, fraternities, and other organizations of the college. Never losing sight of the high ideals upon which the fraternity was founded, it has reached a high position of fraternal organization. The outstanding social function on Normal Hill during the school year 1935-36 was a dinner dance given in the month of May, 1936, sponsored by the Phi Kappa Nu fraternity. It was the first of its kind to be held on the campus in several years. PHI KAPPA NU FRATERNITY Page 180 PHI KAPPA NU FRATERNITY Mixon Bankston W. E.

The debate program of the Forensic Club was the most extensive ever carried on at the Normal College; in fact, it is one of the broadest programs in the South if not in the United States, inasmuch as only thirteen colleges in one of the largest de- bate fraternities in the world have more than 100 debates each season. During the 1936-37 season, Normal College debaters participated in more than 150 intercol- legiate debates, exclusive of those engaged in on a 3,500 mile tour of eleven states, the District of Columbia, and the Southern Association of Teachers of Speech Tour- nament in Nashville, Tennessee, which oc- curred after the Potpourri went to press. Debating on the question: Resolved, that Congress should be empowered to fix min- imum wages and maximum hours for in- dustry, a women ' s team composed of LaVerne Whitener and Dorothy Aden won the Mid-South Tournament, held at Con- way, Arkansas, in February and repeated their performance in the Fourth Annual Louisiana Speech Tournament held on tlu j local campus in March.

Page 190 ORATORY AFTER-DINNER SPEAKING EXTEMPORANEOUS SPEAKING AND POETRY READING The Forensic Club of the college, un- der the direction of Mr. R. L. Ropp, has expanded its speech activities in the past two years to include extem- poraneous speaking, after-dinner speak- ing, and poetry reading in addition to the traditional oratory. As usual, the college was represented in the State Oratorical Contest with contestants from Louisiana College, Southwestern Louisiana Institute, and Centenary College. The Normal College repre- sentatives this year were Dorothy Aden in the women ' s division and John Makar in the men ' s division. In the past six years orators of the college have won $345.00 in the contests, with five first places, three second places, and one third place. At the Baylor University tournament in January the college was represented in extemporaneous speaking by Dorothy Aden, Al Rodriguez, and John Makar: in poetry reading by Willie Lou Talbot, Pat Murphy, LaYerne Whitener, and AI Rodriguez; and in oratory by Dorothy Aden.

Wood, head of the Department of Dramatics. In addition to sponsoring one play every term, it also sponsors the Lesche Annual Play Writing Contest by pro- ducing each year original plays writ- ten and directed by students at Nor- mal. Each of these original plays is representative of the superior dramatic work done by the students of the col- lege. Alpha Psi Omega was organized in 1933 as an honorary dramatic fratern- ity for those obtaining a high stand- ard in dramatics. Membership in the fraternity is a recognition of partici- pation in college dramatics.

The protection of Him is ever with the club, because of the Chris- tian work of its faithful patron, Cardinal Newman. The members of the club emulate the work of Newman in practicing acts of charity and kindness to unfortunates, and in join- ing the world crusade against atheistic- doctrines pervading the inner life of col- leges and universities. Ever active, ever generous, ever alert, ever vigilant as its companion group in relig- ious activity, the Newman Club plays no small part in the affairs of the Louisiana State Normal College, Cabinet Members Belle Boi i ingi r Mvriam Breaux CE] Isl I DlDIERE Rl I II Feroux M vrcarei Hicks Wai I IK I.
