 FOOTBALL As we look back over the football season of 1931, we are impressed with the fact that from all standpoints, the Broncho gridsters had one of the best years that they have had in quite a while. We were blessed this year with a football team which realized the value of united effort. In every game, each player quietly and unassum- ingly did his bit, asking for his work only the glory that was given the team. The student body well understands what such unselfish playing means in the face of a stiff schedule such as the Bronchos encountered last year. Though the work of the team as a unit was commendable, several players de- serve to have their names placed with those of Cortemeglia, Dansby, Cobb, Cum- mings, and Gomez. These players are Captain “Best” Buchanan, “Tubba” Benson, and Bill Josey. It is fitting also to mention the fact that Buchanan proved to be an excellent leader, and it is our opinion that no better man could have been found for the helm of the ship of gridiron endeavors. Four Bronchos received All-District honors for their splendid work. Buchanan and Cummings were named as first team selections by The Houston Chronicle, and Moehlman and Benson were given second team honors. At the close of the past season, Coach “Fete” Jones and the Athletic Council awarded letters to the following players: Captain Raymond Buchanan, Captain-elect Leslie Cummings, Paul Gregg, Morris Williamson, Frank Merka, Mariman Bass, Lawrence Parker, Elvin Moehlman, Hillery Josey, J. D. Benson, Neal Godwin, Willie Boriskie, Chester Jones, and Milton Morehead.

GIRLS’ BASKETBALL SPORTS The Bryan High girls’ basketball team has just closed probably the most suc- cessful season it has ever known. The girls won for the third successive time the county championship and gained thereby the permanent possession of the handsome basketball trophy given by Park’s Jewelry Store. The girls of this flashy sextet are as follows: forwards, Eunice Graham and Edna Smith; guards, Louise Godwin and Josephine Merka; centers, Iola Barron (captain) and Ruth Weddington. The substitutes are Bess Lichte (captain-elect), Jane Singletary, Pauline Thurman, and Gladys Rawls. At the close of the season all these girls were awarded white sweaters marked with the green “B.” The games played and the result of each are as follows: Faculty 10 ----------------------------- Bryan 42 Consolidated 9 Bryan 16 Wheolock 24 Bryan 18 Wheelock 7 Bryan 12 Navasota 31 ---------------------------- Bryan 16 Navasota 17 Bryan 14 Tabor 15---------------------------------Bryan 20 Ball Hi 8 Bryan 37 Consolidated 3-------------------------- Bryan 19 Kurten 24 Bryan 31 At the close of the season a dinner was given for the team by the captain, Iola Barron. On this occasion a fountain pen and pencil set was presented to their much loved coach, Miss Julia Schovajsa, who has spent her time tirelessly for the on- going of the team, and the success of this team is due to her capable and efficient leadership and coaching. All through the season and in every game the team played together for one aim, “To play the game and play it fairly.” It cannot be said of any one player that she was outstanding. The team was outstanding wholly and not individually, and the seniors leaving the team, as well as the rest of the seniors, wish to this team an even more successful season next year than this.
