JAMES G. GEE Qlmrlcs Slmvcr, President To thu Class of 1939: The greatest responsibility of education is to instill into youth the right philos- ophy of living. This should include faith in God and humanity. The individual without respect for and confidence in others is a failure. Be willing to see two sides of every problem. Get the other personls viewpoint. Be natural, not a pretender in anything. justice Story has well said: Never forget that you possess a noble heritage born of toil and suffering and the blood of your ancestors and capable, if rightly improved and faithfully guarded, of transmitting to your latest poster- ity all the substantial blessings of life, the perfect enjoyment of liberty, of property, of religion, and of independence. The structure has been reared by architects of consummate skill and fidelity. Its foundations are solid, and its defenses are impregnable from without. It has been reared for immortality, if the work of man can justly aspire to that title. It may, nevertheless, perish in an hour by the folly, corruption, or negligence of its keepers. In our American school system we have over twenty-six millions of children who are gradually accumulating that store of knowledge which will in time form the rock on which our democracy will rest. Then, let us so shape the education of the rising generation that it will sustain the American democracy and maintain it uncontaminated for the enjoyment of the generations who will come after us. Very cordially yours, C. N. SHAVER, President 18 9' To the Graduating Class of 1939: In response to the gracious request of the Alcalde staff, I am extending to each of you this message of congratulation and reminder. I congratulate you upon the successful completion of courses of study pre- scribed, of which your diplomas are tangible evidence. I congratulate you even more heartily upon the intangible values which I trust your college years have wrought, -growth in self-knowledge, self-reverence, self-control, increased appreciation of truth, beauty, righteousness and service. I rejoice with you in memories of diffi- culties mastered, victories won: of never-to-be-forgotten student pranks and student friendships. Looking forward, let me remind you that no other class has gone forth from this institution during the fifty-nine years of its history that will face greater responsibility and greater opportunities than those that await the class of 1939. The airplane and the radio have broken down barriers of distance. Berlin, Rome and Tokio are nearer to us today than San Francisco, Chicago, and Boston were fifty years ago. Conditions exist upon the eastern continents that threaten the collapse of modern civilizationhconditions that college men and women the world over must understand and be prepared to meet. In our own land the citizens of the United States are confronted with national problems the like of which have never before arisen-problems of social security and of constitutional interpretation that challenge the best thought of all patriotic American citizens. And lastly, we have state and local problems here in Texas which may not be enumerated here, but upon whose wise solution the welfare and happiness of future generations depend. It is for you, graduates of Sam Houston, and for other college graduates throughout our country, with trained minds and consecrated spirits, to decide whether a government of the people, by the people and for the people shall perish from the earth. Quit you like men! Be strong! Your friend, HARRY F. ESTILL 19 Dr. .lamcs Cleo Dean of Sam Houston State Teachers College and Professor of Education, Dr. James G. Gee is beloved by each and every student under the jurisdiction of his office. He is most competent in this capacity and under his guidance the college pro- gressively moves toward its goal. Although he has been Dean only two years, Dr. Gee has in that short space of time more than demonstrated his ability as a leader, an administrator and a teacher. He received his Bachelor of Science degree from Clemson A. 81 M. College and his Doctor of Philosophy de- gree from Peabody College. Afliss .Jessie lxlewell Counselor, advisor and friend to Sam Houstonls young women students is Miss Jessie Newell, Dean of Women and Pro- fessor of History. A charming and gra- cious lady, Newell's work in this re- gard is recognized as outstanding. Coming to Sam Houston in 1921 as Director of the Demonstration School, Miss Newell became Dean of Women in 1929, and she has since matched earnest- ness with competence in filling this posi- tion. She received her Bachelor of Science degree from Peabody College for Women and her Master of Arts degree from the Teachers College of Columbia University. l,. King Students at Sam Houston are indebted to L. E. King, Dean of Men and Pro- fessor of Chemistry, for much of their comprehensive program of social activi- ties. He has continuously manifested a deep and sincere interest in the student and in the student's problems, and this interest has made of him a fine Dean and an excellent teacher. Mr. King received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Texas University and his Master of Arts degree from Peabody Col- lege for Teachers. He has served in his present capacity for eight years. Q. Barrett O. E. B a r r e tt is Sam Houston's efficient auditor and business manager. His duties in this capacity are legion but he performs them capably and still finds time for extended activities in Boy Scout work. Congenial and cooperative, a true friend to the student, Mr. Barrett is more than ready to extend a helping hand on any occasion. He is one of the faculty advisors on the yearbook committee. Mr. Barrett received his Bachelor of Science degree from Sam Houston. He has served in his present capacity for the past five years. Ala rshall Rix Marshall Rix, Registrar, is the first col- lege administrative officer with whom the incoming Sam Houston student becomes acquainted. It is in this office that the fledgling scholar begins his college career, here that he experiences his first taste of college life. The courteous, friendly, effi- cient manner in which Mr. Rix goes about his job lends impetus to the Freshman's beginning and leaves him with an attitude of pleasant receptiveness. Mr. Rix received his Bachelor of Science degree at Sam Houstong his Master of Science degree at Columbia University. S0111 CTLISG The one man in the Business Office at Sam Houston who is perhaps better known to all students than anyone else in this department is diminutive Sam Cruse, cashier. Mr. Cruse is the man who handles the purse strings for the college, and to him the students pay their tuition upon entrance. Although he is small in size, this well-liked little man is enormous in his abilityi to handle record books, and he covers quite a lot of territory in activi- ties apart from his duties. He received his Bachelor of Science degree from Sam Houston. l c. l Stuart President of Board J. E. Josey ...., . R. A. Stuart ........ J. D. Jackson .......... John E. Hill ........ A. H.

It is of major importance in our daily lives. With the attitude that we are all consumers of art, the teacher studies art seriously in order to guide more capably the youth along this line.

Science stimulates curiosity and satisfies it. It solves vital problems and raises new ones, thus promoting active mental progress, and through it the world becomes infinitely more meaningful, hence more mysterious. As the child grows physically, mentally and spiritually, science continuously provides new experi- ments, new and more interesting adventures. In Beta Phi Chi, the Sam Houston Science Club, future science teachers, chemists, technicians, engineers and doctors find time to explore their probable life work, and hobbyists here build the foundation for joyful use of leisure. The growth of science clubs everywhere points definitely to a rapidly widening movement of youth in this direction. The Texas Academy of Science now has a Collegiate Division made up of Texas college science club members. Fin!

D. Fisher King ECONOITIICS Economics, which may be defined as a study of the industrial processes by which man obtains a living, is so broad in its scope that it involves all of us. It is concerned with human behavior, particularly with the behavior of groups. It is also concerned with non-human and material things. The regime under which we live is economic, the material things we possess and the pleas- ures we enjoy are determined by economic forces. The purpose in teaching economics is to acquaint students with economic processes and economic be- havior, to increase the scope of their interests and deepen their understanding of the society of which they are a part. ,Q W fa X W2 V31 Q I is 1 wa f , 1 ...M A J'L Li +23 if I m N fa' 54 QU 75 7 1, , ,A ,Q as x 4 .

It seeks to give training in the theories and backgrounds of educational procedure, acquaintance with educational science, and experience in the art of teaching. Students receiving a teaching certificate must meet theoretical training re- quirements, have done directed observation, and have had successful experience in supervised practice teaching. A committee, under the direction of the college dean, con- ducts a Teachers Placement Bureau, which renders assist- ance to students and former students in finding suitable opportunity to utilize their respective training and abilities.

Stews rt ENGLISH No other course is more essential to progress than English, whatever the field of study, for there is no- thing more common to all subjects than the interpreta- tion, written or spoken in the English language, of the fundamental principles which each seeks to implant in the mind of the student. Even the study of foreign languages must be based upon a groundwork prepared in English. This course in itself enters many fields-technical, cultural, historical, inspirational and many, many more. The extent of the language takes in literature reflecting all of civilization. The lives and works of great men and womenithe very world itselfg all that is and all that it has ever been-all the mysteries of the finite and infinite realms-these are explored through the medium of English. If there is a single base upon which the remainder of the fabric rests, it is the acquirement of an extensive active and reading English vocabulary.

Stewart fhdmnson CCVERNIHENT In modern society every phase of human activity is vitally affected by the political organization. Because of the complexities of twentieth-century civilization, the functions of the body-politic are becoming more and more important. This development is paralleled by a deepening interest and a growing concern for the affairs of government. There has been created thus a very defi- nite need for a body of organized knowledge in this field of human relations. In this department of the college, courses in political science have been designed so as to acquaint the student with the history, the nature and the forms of political institutions, both national and international, with emphasis upon the United States. FRENCH In the four years of French available at Sam Houston, it is possible for the student to master the simpler technique of that most polished language. The student may likewise acquire a fluent reading mastery of this language, together with a good beginning in the canvas of the modern worldis best literature. When it is remembered that French is the one in- dispensable requirement for a doctor's degree in philos- ophy, that medical colleges now insist upon it as an entrance requirement, and that it is the international medium in diplomacy and the social order, the language should recommend itself to every thoughtful student. CENERHL SCIENCE All are pretty well agreed that at least an elementary knowledge of the things in nature around us should be considered in selecting a group of courses for any well- rounded career in education. Not all of us can bc in college, nor indeed even in high school, hence it is well that we absorb some knowledge of science early in our lives. Many scientific fields are open to us, but school time will not permit the confining of ourselves to any single field. So educators urge that an elementary science course be taken by all prospective teachers preparing themselves for primary or elementary fields. Many be- lfeve that even high school prospeetives may follow this line of study with profit. General Science includes the study of astronomy physiography, geology, biology, physiology, physics and chemistry. 9 Dr. R. E. IXteClwtltm GEOGRQPHY In Sam Houston's Department of Geography, stu- dents are taught much about this fascinating world. Through the medium of extensive factual data they come to accept the earth as their environment, studying everything in it, on it and above it. They learn the principles of change, of relationship, of the slow and orderly development of all things. Class work in this department is amplified by such material aids as project work, educational picture shows, field trips and programs by the Atlas Club. Geography students learn this subject is manifest in all things that have to do with our lives, and they recog- nize that the ultimate aim of geography is to make the whole world related.

First, an effort at the interpretation of recent events in the perspective of our country's developrnentg and second, the placing of recent history in its proper setting in relation to world civilization.

George Lacy turns LHTIN The subject of Latin is far from being the popular subject that it was a few years ago, principally because it is now regarded by students as being either of little practical value, or as being very difficult. Neither of these views is in the main correct. With regard to its being useless because it is a dead languagef, it is hardly necessary to say more than that three out of five English words are of Latin origin, either directly from the literary language or indirectly through Old French. The matter of difficulty is often exaggerated. It is certainly not one of the easiest subjects, but an earnest student can learn to read easy Latin in a two-semester course, besides becoming familiar with the origin of thousands of English words. LIBRHRY SCIENCE The Department of Library Science is the latest addition to Sam Houston's curricula. There are eighteen hours offered in this field at present. These courses are open as electives to students wishing to acquire the ability to plan and organize a library and make it function in the school. Teachers thus are afforded an invaluable opportunity to become familiar with children's books through the study of a wide range of recreational and informational material relative to all age levels.

Students in this department acquire mathematical and teaching ability sufficient to enable them to become outstanding instructors in the public schools of Texas. D. Fischer Dr. W. W. Ploytl R. M. vifootls MR. WOODS DISCUSSES A QUESTION WITH AN INTERESTED STUDENT PHYSICS Physics is the basic natural science. Imagine present achievements in medicine, surgery, organic chemistry, crystallography and metallurgy without the discovery forty years ago of Rontgen's X-rays. Meteorology, or weather forecasting, is a field of applied physics. The telephone, telegraph, automobile, radio, motion picture and airplane are all developments of physics. Air-conditioning and mechanical refrigeration, both still in the embryo stage, began with an understanding of the fundamental concepts of physics. Physics is a study which contributes much to constructive and crea- tive imagination. It trans- forms an orderly vibra- tion of strings and air Columns into a symphony, daylight glare into the spectrum of the rainbow. W. H. Aclamsori SOCIOLOGY All courses in sociology hold to the chief purpose of assisting men and women to understand a complex civilization and preparing them to live happily therein. Introductory and advanced courses, offered now at Sam Houston, stress various racial problems, analyze the question of national relief, emphasize causes and possible remedies for crime, i. e., treatment rather than punish- ment of criminals, deal with social pathology, giving time to the study of underprivileged classes, hazards of life, and so forth, and go into conditions found in the home. There is no student but who would be better off for having learned something of our social world. And even the least of these courses is worth while. Q.

School programs for convocations, Armistice Day, Christmas, Easter, and other such occasions are prepared by the Glec Club, which is closely associated with the St. Cecilia Choir and the Menis Octet. This association was bound even more closely in the fall of 1938 by the installation of Radio Station KSAM in Huntsville. This organization has always maintained a fine standard of singing, and the Glee Club's future is dedicated to the perpetuation of this standard.

They are the problems of adjust- ment to life, to fellow human beings, and to the ideals and values of civilization, Through instruction in the freshman courses in social studies, effort is made to find a road into the minds of the students which will show them the importance of spiritual as well as material factors in the lives of their fellow students and among humanity at large. It is believed that through the systematic consideration of the materials of these courses the clearest pathway to the highest values is to be found. pi , SPElNlSl-l The world is too small for any student to entirely neglect the study of foreign languages, and Western interests are so closely knit that Spanish is rapidly be- coming almost a necessity. Secretary of State Hull attended the Lima Confer- ence solely to court domestic and commercial friendship, President Roosevelt contacted the Spanish-American Re- publics in the interest of the preservation of Democracy. Commanding the gateway to the Mediterranean, war- torn Spain has become the keystone of international affairs in Europe. From even this it is evident that Spanish will con- tinue to occupy a prominent place in the international order of life, whether political, cultural, commercial or scientific. Vocational Hgriculture The Texas Legislature provided for the establishment of this department of teacher-training in agriculture in 1909, and in the summer of that year the governing board and President Estill actually established this de- partment and elected S. C. Wilson as department head. When the Smith-Hughes Federal Vocational Edu- cational Act was passed in 1917, state and federal repre- sentatives visited and inspected this department, found it offering teacher-training courses in vocational agri- culture, and recommended that it receive special state and federal aid for training teachers under this Act. Since this department was approved by federal and state authorities, approximately three hundred and thirty selected young men have received their degrees, thus qualifying to teach vocational agriculture to farm youths of Texas. Under the leadership of Dr. C. N. Shaver, president, and with the cooperation of ex-students in the field, and with the additional aid of itinerant teachers and super- visors, this department has extensive plans for enlarging and increasing its service to the rural youths of Texas through high schools, part-time schools for out-of-school rural youth, day unit schools and adult evening schools. arirazfwg' 'f -- P-1, ig 9,135 4 4,14 L Q' ul' it f,-..'-5,1 5.- , ,Aga .

Organized in 1925, this society was founded by Miss Bertha Kirkley in honor of Mrs. Anne Gibbs, who for some time continued a practice of giving prizes to encourage students in public speaking, a movement of proven merit begun a number of years before by her husband, W. A. Gibbs. The girls of this society seek to go forth from this college with open minds and the ability to cooperate in promoting the welfare of society at large.

Monthly programs deal with contemporary drama, which in the past has been a most interesting study. Good times, invitations, dances, picnics and rehearsals for the annual one-act play sponsored by this organ- ization have punctuated the year for the girls.

Perhaps this is true, even today. At any rate, in preparing the 1939 Alcalde, the entire staff has worked together in an effort to carry this theme into effect. In short, the staff has seriously attempted to por- tray the informality of college life in a truly informal manner. Division pages were reduced to a minimum, reading matter was trimmed and pictures were substi- tuted, color pictures were added, and humorous car- toons, used at various places throughout the book, were substituted for the regular grind section. Acting after the manner of a coordinator in placing the material gathered by a faithful and hardworking staff, your Alcalde editor has endeavored to organize a book that is representative of a year at Sam Houston. In the beginning it was MY BOOK . . . during the year it became OUR BOOK . . . and now, after its Emo' publication has brought the end, it is YOUR Book . . . and may it serve you well!

Supervised by Director C. R. Hackney, this ensemble followed the football team to Beaumont and Commerce. During the year the band accepted an in- vitation to attend the Rose Festival at Tyler and represented Oklahoma University at the half in the A. gl M.-Oklahoma University football game. Other outings included a trip to the Houston Fat Stock Show and to the Mardi Gras at Galveston. On the latter occasion the band formed an escort for Molly O,Danicl, daughter of the Governor of Texas.

Hackney, Band Director, Sam Houston's cheer-leading group is composed of four attractive girls: Dorothy Evans, Mary Myra McKinney, Dorothy Hardy and Maurice Long. Charles Rawson, a member of the band, assists this eye-catching quartette in cheering the Bearkats to victory. Besides being a yell leader, each girl is a Pepperette in the college band. Their orange-and-white uniforms and fancy baton-twirling lend much to the color of this ensemble. Cheering at pep rallies and ball games is done under the capable and com- pelling direction of Charles Rawson and these four lively beauties. Illustrative of the effectiveness of their work is the fact that Sam Houston has displayed a keener, more enthusiastic school spirit this year than ever before. Dorothy Evans, Dorothy Hardy, Mary Myra McKinney, Maurice Long 201 Molly Cfawlaftl THE HTHLETIC STHFF Little is ever said by its members, of a department that has been growing steadily during the past several years, yet the entire student body is aware of its importance and grateful for the progress it has made. School sports would not claim the place which they now occupy were it not for the efforts put forth by the Athletic Department, which functions smoothly under the capable direction of Joe Kirk, one of the best football players ever to be graduated from Sam Houston. A word of praise is rightfully due our new Head Coach 6'Puny,, Wilson, and his two able assistants, H. O. Molly Crawford and Jack Williams. It was largely through their ceaseless efforts, and their ability to inspire their charges to fighting cooperation, that the Sam Houston Bearkats moved up from the cellar to second place in the Lone Star Conference. Coach VVilson, playing under Dana X. Bible from 1920 to 1923, won acclaim as one of the greatest ends in Aggie grid history. He coached at Bryan High School, Allen Academy and Lon Morris, establishing an enviable record at each school. He came to Sam Houston from the latter. Graduating from Austin College at Sherman in 1927, after he had won honors as a star athlete and a brilliant student, Coach Crawford went to San Angelo High School and coached there for two years. He came here in 1929, serving continuously since then as Sam Houston's track coach. During this time he developed two of the most outstanding track stars in the history of the conference. For three years he also served as head football coach and the remainder of the time as line coach, turning out several all-conference linemen during this period. Coach jack Wlilliams, of Palestine, a brilliant all-conference tackle, captained the Kats in ,37. Having fought alongside many of the stars of ,38, his influence was a big factor in the hustle of the squad this year. 202 Furry Xxfilsom .lack vifillimns if Q J , , ... .. ,,.,.,. , - V f , ww - . p ' . it V . . . . :I..35If5.g:-'-251: an -19 N X s A 12551 Coxuptain ,lim llorio . . . 195 pounds of hard-hitting lineman from Hempstead . . . displayed inspiring leadership . . . wound up his gridiron ca- reer as the best guard in the Lone Star Conference for the second straight year. l5UFI'lCll lllUI'lflGFS lllltbllflll ll'lQ Illlrfl Eflqlli lilif U llFSl tlUXNIl 3 W Aw..-4 X ' Coxnplain Swede . . .

But, we saw gi wg, gan more than a football game or even more than a surprising display of power by the Sam Houstonites . . . We saw a foot- ball-crazy town come out in droves to see their team try as best they might against a team admittedly their superior. Those same students, towns- people and alumni met the night before and produced one of the biggest pre-game pep rallies ever heard of in the South- west . . . Those eleven men on the field knew they were underdogs, but underdogs have won before and they gave it a tryg and they, with the twelfth man in the stands, won that game decisively . . . On one end of the stadium, a men's Booster Club of some hundred or more business men made more noise under the direction of one of their number than we have heard coming from the combined stands on Eagle Field. . .The Bearkats were carried off the field by their schoolmates after their win . . . After the game, everybody in those stands poured out to form a parade led by the perfectly drilled Sam Houston Band which performed one of the neatest drills we have ever witnessed on a football gridiron during the intermission . . . VVe knew that those yells were not in derision directed toward the Eagles, but were rather the true sportsrnanlike crowd of football fans that any of us wish to see again. 203 TIQINITV UNIVERSITY GAME With a host of old lettermen and several outstanding junior college transfers brightening pros- pects for a successful year on the gridiron an optimistic cargo of Orange-and-White warriors dropped anchor in Waxahachie September 23 for the season's opener with the Trinity Tigers. The lightning-like dart of the Tiger claw drew first blood for the Trinitymen early in the first quarter. San Miguel, flashy halfback, collected the ball on the Bearkats' 22-yard line and charged across the pay stripe for a touchdown. Annexation of the extra point stopped the count at 7 to 0. Then Estlinbaum, Pollard and Co-captain Di Iorio began sparking in the line and the Bearkat machine retaliated beautifully. Barnett hurled second-and-third-period touchdown passes to Crow, the last of which traveled a full 60 yards in the air. Both tries for the extra point failed. The Tigers then reclaimed a 2-point lead. An 11-yard pass from Miguel to Turner, plus the conversion, stood the tally at 14 to 12 in favor of the defenders in the final minutes of the game. Undaunted, the determined Bearkats plunged ahead. The ball rested on the 18-yard line. Then, with 35 seconds of play remaining, Cullen Barnett toed the pigskin over the horizontal bar for a perfect field goal that moved the crowd to hysterics and provided a spectacular 15 to 14 tri- umph for the locals. Thus Puny Wilson was introduced as head mentor for the Bearkats. 0 LOUISIANA NOIQMAL CLASH Bearkats triumphed over Demons in the first home game of the season! Despite the fact that they were penalized time after time, the lads in Orange-and-White matched the splendid sportsman- ship displayed by Sam Houston fans and kept up a vigorous assault that led to a 14 to 6 victory for the locals. Barnett's punt to the coffin corner, a sensational tackle by Possum Pollard and Ben High- tower's alert recovery when the Demons fumbled over the goal line gave the Bearkats a touchdown lead at half time. Laron Gifford pulled gold out of the blue when he intercepted a Demon pass in midfield and waltzed his way across the chalkline barrier for the Bearkats' second tally. Barnett converted. A desperate, last minute drive carried the Demons through to pay dirt and the game ended 14 to 6.

SCUTHWESTEIQPI LOUISIANA GAME Still batting a thousand percent, an inspired Bearkat lineup moved in under an azure Louisi- ana sky and shouted, Lafayette, we are here! The game got under way and a vicious Bulldog attack immediately caused Kat fur to fly. Abel and Montgomery, a duo of eel-hipped Louisianians, took turns in wriggling their way to the 17- yard line, from whence Abel scurried across the pay stripe for a touchdown. A carbon copy of this procedure in the second period, with Montgomery climaxing, gave the Pups a 14 to 0 lead at half time. The Kalico Kat threatened twice in the last stanza, due to Barnett's clever passes to Ben Hightower, but the heavy paws of the Gingham Dogn lashed out with ever-increasing fury, and when the game ended the scoreboard read: Louisiana, 14 points, Sam Houston, approximately that number of black eyes! O WITH THE COLLEGE CE AIQTS AND INDUSTRIES Still smarting from their first defeat ofthe season, coming when they were chewed into sub- mission by the Louisiana Bullpups the week before, the Bearkats nevertheless came home and swept to a decisive victory over the Arts-and-Industries Javelinas-and the Porkers were Alamo Confer- ence Champs the previous year too! I Wright and Hightower tolled the Hogs to the Bearkat slaughter house and Barnett stabbed twice at the right side of the line for first blood. And while the Grange-and-White formed an effective barrier against the Pigs, Gifford and Wright ripped loose for runs of 68 and 55 yards, respectively. The Hogs refused to be scraped so easily, however, and they kicked and squealed their way from midfield to touchdown territory, then lost all signs of life. Barnett salted the Piggies down with another touchdown waltz in the fourth period. Then, during the final minutes of the game, Hair and pigskin parted in a flashing pass to Gifford, who put the bacon on ice with the scoreboard reading 19 to 6 in favor of the Bearkats.

Purring with delight after a hospitable reception by the Cardinals, the orange an d white-clad Kats loafed through the first twenty minutes. Then Hair tossed a money ball across the goal line to HSwcde', Hill for the initial tally.

While the game faded into the final mo- ments, Barfield tossed to Calla- han on the Lamar 3-yard line, then scored on the second down. Final tally: Sam Hous- ton, 18g Lamar, 0. A rousing cheer from the Lamar stands when the Sam Houston Band appeared dur- ing the half, together with the enthusiastic comment in the Beaumont papers the next day, indicated the local musi- cians staged their usual fine performance.

WI-IIDDING NCIQTH TEXAS STATE TEACHEIQ5 Soaring like the first flock of migrating geese in the teeth of an invigorating norther, the Denton Eagles swooped down to threaten the Bearkats' chances for the Lone Star Crown. But grid- iron ghosts of '30 joined the locals in the huddle while the spirit and enthusiasm of a football-crazy town cheered them on, and the inspired Bearkats blazed their way to one of the most spectacular triumphs ever witnessed on Pritchett Field. All the spark of a new battery was found in the Orange-and-White line. And Quarterback Jimmy Hair, a blond Sammy Baugh for the night, threaded the needle with nine completed passes as the Kats rolled up an 18 to 0 lead by half time. Laron Gifford received the oval on the Eagles' 13-yard line and raced over for the first tally. Came an exchange of punts, and Odell Moore charged out of line and blocked Parker's punt on the North Texas 25-yard stripe. Clarke Tippen, fiery Richmond lad, retrieved the pigskin and took off like a scalded pup to reach pay dirt in record time. Hair's tosses clicked again! His throws to Wright, C. Wells and Gifford ate up 44 yards and he crossed the goal line from the 6-yard marker for the final score. Subs took over and battled the Eagles to a stand-still throughout the rest of the game, displaying more grit than is found in a new cook,s first batch of turnip greens. Final score 18-0. Intermission was enlivened by the Bearkat Band's neat drill and by the presentation of Miss Margaret Stoneham, the Esquire Queen, enthroned on a float surrounded by vari-colored lights.

Eyes on the conference championship almost within their grasp, a determined Bearkat grid squad journeyed to Commerce and batted heroically against the Lion powerhouse. School spirit blazed to a fiery heat in the Bearkat huddle as Barnett arrowed the pighide some 45 yards to Phillip Crow for a 6-point lead in the first minute of play. This faded, though, when Darrell Tully, Little All-American back, carried the mail in a neatly executed fake play that netted a touchdown and an extra point for East Texas. Sam Houston's running game was as paralyzed as Greenville traffic during the Bearkat Band parade. But with Barnett and Hair tossing the oval freely, the Orange-and-White aerial attack gave the Lions no end of trouble. Powerful drives by a quartet of big East Texas backs, working behind a solid forward wall, netted twenty first downs and a 14 to 6 victory for the Lions. Tully's passing kept the Bearkats in a dither during the entire game. Outstanding for the Bearkats was the brilliant punting by Laron Gifford and the excellent defensive play by Sonny,' Lindley. The Bearkat Band created quite a sensation during the intermission when they played 5'Eyes of Texas from a starry formation of the Lone Star State which lighted the darkness of the gridiron.

AGAINST TEXAS WESLEYAN Displaying an attack as amazing as the fact that an interceptor of biscuits is considered ill man- nered at the V. A. dorm, and responding thoroughly to the cheers of crowds of homecorners, the Sam Houston lads administered a smarting 28 to 7 defeat to the favored Rams. While fans swayed back and forth to gay tunes furnished by the Bearkat Band, the Hair-to- Wells combination Hflew through the air with the greatest of ease and chalked up the initial score, after which Tippen calmly kicked the extra point. Early in the action-filled second quarter, Daniels snapped through the left wall and blocked a Ram punt on the 5-yard line. Alert Clarke Tippen scooped it up and stepped across the pay stripe for the second tally, then kicked the extra point from placement. Charging behind excellent interference, Gifford and Barfield ran the ball to scoring position and Gifford drove across for the third touchdown. Tippen, who stood out during the game like a gander at an egg-laying contest, toed the third consecutive point over the horizontal bar. And the Hell-o greetingn with the delayed ov-formed by the Bearkat Band at the half-made things look even worse for T. W. C. In the third quarter a 70-yard march, featuring off-tackle sweeps by Law, Barnett, Adcock and Callahan, was climaxed when Barnett scored from the 4-yard line and later converted. A 40-yard slugging penalty against the Bearkats put the ball in position for the lone Ram tally and the game ended 28 to 7. The Esquire Club added color to the occasion by presenting their queens for the year.

DOWNING SCUTHWEST TEXAS STATE TEACHERS The Orange-and-White invaded the land of bald prairies and simmering sand hills and stemmed a ferocious Bobcat attack in a history-making triumph over the Southwest Texas State Teachers. An inspired defense by the Bobcats, fighting before a huge homecoming crowd, made things look extremely bad for the visiting Bearkats throughout most of this memorial contest. With just two minutes to go, Sam Houston warriors glanced wearily at the scoreboard where 'iSan Marcos, 7 -Visitors, 6 stood out like the handwriting on the wall. Barfield's pass to Bud Ramsey had ac- counted for the six points but failure to convert seemingly spelled defeat. But the Kats were still fighting. An official straightened the ball out on the 43-yard stripe. Miles away loomed the Bobcat goal, apparently as inaccessible as the walled castle of some ancient feudal baron. The crowd surged for- ward. Southwest Texas fans would probably carry the victorious Bobcats from the field. A handful of Sam Houston loyals sat tense and speechless in the stands. Do something, Bearkats! They did! Quarterback Barfield faded twice and passed to Gifford and Tippen. The pighide rested on the 9-yard marker. Only seconds of play remained. Barfield 'ibig appled across the goal line behind masterful interference and Tippen converted. The game ended 13 to 7 for the Bearkats. Boosters back home went wild as news of this drifted in over the air.

A huge crowd of local and visiting fans thrilled to this colorful home-field clash between the Kats and their traditional foes, and felt the glory of triumph as Sam Houston talent emerged with the victory end of a 13 to 6 score. However, the weather alone wasnit responsible for the frequent fits of shivering that possessed the big holi- day throng. A part of this was due to persistent and dangerous thrusts at the Bearkat goal by the jolting Jacks of Stephen F. . . . These came as a result of a succession of passes from McGraw to Hopson and Roquemore. The rambling Ramsey brothers, both playing an outstanding game, saved the day for the locals on numer- ous occasions by eeling through the opposing wall to spear the Lumberjack backs for damaging losses. With Barfield, Tippen, Gifford and Hill shining in the offense, however, the Orange-and-White warriors fought through the second period with fire in their eyes, and Gifford drew first blood of the contest at the climax of a sensational drive from midfield. Jimmy Hallmark teamed with Co-captain Jim Di Iorio, Clarke Tippen, Bud Ramsey and Tiny', Estlinbaum to effectively spike a half-hearted Lumberjack retaliation as the half ended. In an interesting manifestation of the Turkey-day spirit, the Lumbcrjack Band marched out on the field during intermission and formed a neat outline of the Pilgrim ship Mayflower. Reminiscent of the heart-felt thanks tendered on this day long ago for their safe arrival, the band held this formation as they played the hymn g'Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flowf' which was no doubt the theme that inspired those hardy pioneers to name the first Thanksgiving Day. The early Indian menace was suggested by an imitation war dance. The ship formation was broken with AnCh0rS Aweigh, and the Bearkat Band next exhibited a series of complex marching formations that brought a big hand from the crowd. Majorettes and Pepperettes put on a clever display of slim waists and streamlined limbs. The Bearkats opened the second half with a really aggressive onslaught which ended as Hair passed to Wells for the second tally. Tippen converted. Hubbard Law, Possum Pollard and Ike Metcalf made the rest of the quarter interesting with jarring defensive tackles and top-notch offensive blocking. The lone Lumberjack tally came as a result of Baileyis interception of a Bearkat pass on his own 40- yard line. He lateraled to McGraw, who sidestepped several Kats and reached pay dirt on the play. But they failed to convert. The only cloud on the Orange-and-White horizon for the day came when '5Sonny,' Lindley, great all-conference center, suffered a back injury. Co-captains Jim Di Iorio and Swede Hill, Kenneth Wainscott, C. Wells, all five brilliant seniors, covered themselves with glory in their final collegiate game. This win placed the Kats second with a conference standing of .750. The student body is rightfully grateful to this hustling squad for helping to make this one of the greatest years in Sam Houston gridiron history.

BEAIQKATS vs. SAN MAI-QCCS Boasting a fine pre-season record, conceded an even chance to best three other quintets and finish in the lime- light of the Lone Star, the Orange-and-White opened the season at home with a decisive 40 to 30 triumph over San Marcos. Zolan Landers hit the mesh from every angle, giving the Kats a comfortable lead before he and Johnnie Puckett were banished via the personal foul route. Clifford Dotson, ace Kat center, took scor- ing honors for the night with 12 points. BFAIQKATS vs. SAN N 1AlQCCS Striking hard from the opening whistle, the Bobcats threatened to upset Sam Houston on the San Marcos maples and led 18 to 16 at the half. Inspired by the Dotson brothers, each of whom scored 7 points in the second half, the Bearkats held the San Marcos crew to 12 additional points and emerged with a 40-to-30 victory the same score as that made in the previous home game. The unerring accuracy of Coach Wilson,s crew in sink- ing 20 out of 27 tosses from the free-throw line was BEAIQKATS vs. NOIQTH TEXAS Seeking revenge for their sensational gridiron drubbing in the fall, the defending champion Eagles swooped down on a hustling Bearkat aggregation and dropped a fast and furious contest by a 48-to-31 tally. Johnnie Puckett sparked the Kat attack with 10 points. Yarbro, Eagle center, scored 9 points to top the North Texans, and Preston, graceful Eagle guard, handled the ball flawlessly. Frank Gates and Bob Croucher, after a be- lated entrance into the fray, bewildered the Eagles with their passing. BEAEKATS vs. S. F. A. Paced by sensational Marshall Matteson, the Jacks dis- played a lightning offense and an air-tight defense handing the Kats a 41-to-33 whipping in their first conference loss. Zolan Landers and Floyd Dotson turned in sparkling performances before they were banished by fouls. Clifford Dotson connected with two field goals, cutting the Jack lead to 3 points in the final period, but chances for victory faded with the departure the deciding factor in the victory.

'z 2 BEATQKATS vs. EAST TEXAS Led by Carpenter, Vinson, and Fite on the offensive, by Hodge, Renwick and Vandcrslice on the defensive, the East Texas Lions proved themselves worthy cham- pions when they stepped ahead of the Bearkats at the opening gun and finished with a 38-to-31 victory. Floyd Dotson, Zolan Landers and Wilton Harmon sparkled for the Kats. EEAIQKATS W. NORTH TEXAS Wiith Clifford and Floyd Dotson going to town in grand style, the Bcarkats trounced North Texas at Den- ton by a 42-to-31 score. The Dotson Brothers together accounted for 29 of the 42 points, Clifford scoring 15 and Floyd 13. Zolan Landers followed closely with 10 points. BEAIQKAIS vs. EAST TEXAS In the return game at Commerce the Kats again bowed to the Lions, this time accepting a 45-to-31 defeat. In a game flocked with fouls, Clifford Dotson, Zolan Lan- ders and Robert Croucher, all Sam Houston stars, were banished when they collected four of the forty-six per- sonal fouls called during the match. P. Vinson, a Lion, led his mates with 15 points. Teammate Vander- slice followed him, scoring 11 points. Harmon paced the Kats with 10 markers. BEAIQKATS vs. S. li. A. Each playing the final game of a brilliant collegiate cage career, Clifford and Floyd Dotson and Gordon Cotton turned in sparkling farewell performances as the Bearkats blasted the Axemen with a thrilling 41-to-35 triumph. 1Nilton Harmon played a great defensive game, holding the invincible Matteson to four field goals and four free pitches. Zolan Landers kept the Kats hustling with consistent ball-hawking and following up. Enter- ing the fray late in the final stanza, Robert Croucher contributed 6 points toward the holiday.

Competition in the Lone Star Conference appeared early in the season to be stronger than ever be- fore. Although the Alcalde goes to press too early to include results of the various meets, the prospects for a good season are bright. The thinly-clads are scheduled to take part in the Fort Worth Fat Stock Show Relays, the Texas Re- lays, a triangular meet with East Texas and Abilene Christian College, at East Texas, and the conference meet in San Marcos in April.

Clarke Tippen I With the return of lettermen Freddie Hluchan, Hubert Barnett, Robert Barfield and John Knierim, Sam Houston netters give promise of bringing home more than their usual share of laurels this year. With Jack Williams in charge of tennis for his first year, the netmen work hard to get into shape for conference opponents. After a few warm up tilts with various schools in this section of the country, the Bearkat netters will participate in the conference meet at N acogdoches. Because of the fact that the Alcalde will be published before competition opens, no results of the tennis meets can be given. fir as 4 as FREDDIE HLUCHAN, a two- year letterman and a consistent w i n n e r last year, appears capable of mixing it with the best of them at the conference meet at Nacogdoches. A wicked serve and a vicious topspin on all returns make Freddie a year- ly winner over some of the best in Texas. ,if ...:, 3 ' fs: : , 'f2- -. if .f':t -'-. ' f 'Z 'Q 'J 'Y ' Q t v 1:1 -I ,1.,. Z ,. : i T 2' 1, X .ai is - HUBERT BARNETT, another two-year letterman, is a Bitsy Grant type of player who has the knack for getting the ball back over the net. A neat back- hand and an eye for the cor- ners make Hubert a valuable asset to Sam Houston netmen. JOHN KNIERIM is a player who likes both doubles and singles. His hard, consistent serve and his constant hustling make him a hard man to beat. John can be counted on to scrap 'em for every point. R O B E R T BARFIELD was Hluchan's doubles partner dur- ing the tennis season last year. Accurate placement, steadiness and dependability are Barfield's chief assets. It is hard to get a ball past him because he is so quick on his feet. With amateur boxing rapidly making a place for itself among top-flight Ameri- can sports, the athletic department at Sam Houston has met the demands of local talent by introducing the sport here. Porter Bodine, a student and an experienced boxer, is coaching the squad in a new twenty-by-twenty-foot ring. Sims, Collins, McClelland, Liles, Balthrop, Bodine and Maples started the season off in the proper spirit by annexing the whole of seven bouts with the San Augustine amateurs. As the Alcalde goes to press, Porter Bodine, Terry Carter, Hugh Collins, Grover Breckenridge, Jay McClelland, Joe Fuste, Elza Oates and Eddie Warren are working hard for coming matches with Southwest Conference schools and the Galveston amateurs.

Next in order were Ellisor,s Plugs, Glynn Speer's Dark- horses and Harold Speer's Longshooters. Managed b y Jimmy Hallmark, the Bearkat Den emerged victorious in the elimination tournament.
