SR va mummrr 1 930 THE BRAND 1930 THE YEAR BOOK OF Sul Ross State Teachers College PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENT BODY VOLUME TEN ' iDE N years ago, in the summer of 1920, Sul Ross opened its doors to seventy-seven stu¬ dents. To those students and to all who have come since that time the Brand of 1930 extends greetings. Through these years we have en¬ deavored to keep the faith; we have perpetuated the traditions and the organizations you began, adding to them others worthy of your approval. This year it has been our purpose to unfold in our stories and pictures a panorama of life, on and off the campus, that will recall happy memories, not only to the students of 1930 but also to those of preceding years, and thus will strengthen that bond which unites all Sul Ross students.

Q. Coleman T HK eai 1930 marks the tenth anniversary of Sul Ross College; it witnesses also the publication of the tenth Brand. The yearbook has grown up with the college. The aim of the motif of the Brand from year to year has been to emphasize the tradition and the legend of Southwest Texas. We have pre¬ sented the cowboy life with its suggestion of romance and adventure, the Indian culture as we have found it in pictographs and folklore, and the natural, ever- changing beauty of the Mexican border. This year, after some period of wandering afield, we have come home and by way of taking stock and measuring our progress have turned a critical eye upon our own campus. The swimming pool back of the main building, Jackson Field, our steel grandstand, numerous tennis courts cut out of the hillside, the picturesque rock campus wall and gates, campus drives and parkways, spacious college apartments and numerous college cottages, the new gymnasium completed last year, the new library building and auditorium under construction, the acquisition of Kokernot Springs and the scenic drive connecting it with the campus—these, all of which are shown in our snapshots and views, are material evidences of how far we have traveled in ten years. But the picnic spots, the caverns and the canyons and the hills that are shown here, many of them the same that have appeared in other Brands, are unchanged. And the spirit of Sul Ross remains unchanged. That audacity and courage that made a student body of 111 in 1920-21 dare to publish a Brand, the friendliness that gathers into a common family all who come, the belief that opportunities extended demand service in return, these things abide.

Both live in the realm of practical reality, provided they sense life’s real values in terms of individual and race possibilities. Poets, musicians, paint¬ ers, sculptors—all artists, in moments of inspiration, point the way for culture and spiritual uplift of the race through ideals belabored in moments of intense solitude. Ambitious college boys and girls; visualize the future through the rainbow cloud of a glorious present. They are prone to omit the mountain peaks from the contour of life’s landscape, and to contemplate only the glow back of and beyond their immediate objective. And yet all races that have made world-history and all individuals who have achieved enduring fame have felt and thought and lived on the mountain peaks of a great vision. The chief trouble with our visions is that they, like most of our good intentions, never issue in action because of lack of a definite purpose controlled by intelligent effort. I would not rob youth of its dreams; I would not close my eyes to those visions which come through the open windows of the soul to the men and women who awaken within us the diviner side of life. But I would counsel that we employ the practical about us for translating our dreams and visions into useful realities. To college boys and girls I would say, Go on dreaming dreams and clarifying your visions. The outlook on life is all important. Some day that dream which harmonizes best with your ability and preparation, that vision which realizes in its image the greatest need of your day and generation, may recognize you as the prophet of the finest possibilities of your race.

Athletics The Athletic Council T O the four men who, as members of the Athletic Council, through their careful planning and unselfish service have made it possible for us to see games at home, have arranged for the transportation of the teams when games were scheduled hundreds of miles from home, and have by their kindly advice and help proved themselves the friends of the individual Lobos, we, the student body of Sul Ross, do gratefully dedicate the Athletic Section of the 1930 Brand. B. C. Graves Coach k S head Coach at Sul Ross, B. C. Graves has put the school ahead in athletics. To him goes the honor of having coached the Lobos through their first year as a member of the T.l.A.A. One of Coach’s greatest hobbies is taking an aggregation of green football ma¬ terial and building up a fast-charging, ground-gaining team that fights as an individual. This could be accomplished only by a man with a personality that gets into the men. High ideals and clean living are the virtues of Coach Graves. His between-half speeches have caused many a veteran and many a first-year man to go back into the game with re¬ newed vigor and spirit. Russell W. Duncan Assistant Coach USSELL DUNCAN has made one of the best assistants Graves has ever had on his staff. lie came to Sul Ross directly from East Texas Teachers College, where he had made a splendid record for himself. The spirit and fight that he can put into the forward wall, explains his election as captain of his basket ball and football teams at East Texas. And when you see Speedy in action, directing the linemen in their duties, you can not wonder at his being selected as an all-conference end. Tune : Amici 1 Where the rolling plains of Texas End in mountains high, There’s a land where glorious sunsets Flame in peerless sky. Chorus Ring, ye Alpine hills, with music! Joyous songs we’ll raise. Hail to thee, O Sul Ross College, Thee we gladly praise. 2 Tis a land of pioneer spirit, Free as bracing air, Where a handclasp means a welcome, Friendship glad to share. 3 There our Texas youths do gather, Heeding wisdom’s call, Learn to love thee, Sul Ross College, Love thee best of all. —Bose Sharp Brewer. Charles Dyer, Captain W ITH the stiffest schedule in the history of the team before them, Coaches Graves and Duncan opened the football training camp ten days before the opening of the fall term. Some fifty candidates reported for the various positions, and in two days the boys were down to hard work. The first, team to line up opposite the scrapping Lobos was that of the highly touted Matadores from Texas Tech. The game was played at Marta during the Highland Fair. As in all early-season games, fumbles were frequent, but on both sides the fighting was hard and clean throughout the game. Bob Clark gave the Bob Clark Half Bob played some great football this year. His speed and ability to get by a tackier made him one of the best halfs in this part of the country. He is a hard tackier and a good open-field runner. He shines on end runs. Ivan Newton Guard, Center, Tackle Newt was a reserve from last year. He is an all-round player, having played at guard, center, and tackle. It seemed that he played each position better than the other. Newt was hustling all the time. He was next to Captain Dyer in the number of quarters played. Page 138 fans a thrill when he carried the oval for fifty yards, only to be stopped a few yards short of the goal line. The first half ended 0-0, but the second half had its thrills in store. Before three minutes had passed, a Tech half got loose and carried the ball sixty-five yards for a touchdown. The Lobos, not to be outdone, staged a comeback and carried the ball down the field. A thirty-two yard run by Clark placed the ball on Tech’s two yard line. Wicker, Lobo full, went over for the touchdown. Clark carried the ball over for the extra point. The game ended in a 7-7 tie. Marcus Connally End Red, or “Apple-Knocker,” was new to the game. He played his first football last spring against Simmons. Connally is big and promises to make a good end. He is exceptionally good at catching passes. Next year he will probably see a good deal of service. Bp:rt Moulden Center Bert filled the pivot position for the first part of the season. Appendicitis kept him out of the last games. He is a fighting center and has what it takes to make a ball player. Page 139 SUL ROSS 0—NEW MEXICO AGGIES 6 The week after playing Tech, the Lobos journeyed to Las Cruces and met defeat at the hands of the Aggies for the first time in the history of relations between the two teams. The Lobos fought hard, but were unable to get their attack started. The Aggies scored their touchdown in tlie first few minutes of the second halt . The Lobos threatened the Aggie line once when Swanson, Lobo end, completed a pass, but they were unable to enrry the ball the remaining distance to the goal. The Lobo passing attack, with Swanson usually on the receiving end, was a big feature in the second half. Booker Connally Guard and Tackle Booker played at both guard and tackle. He had regulars for competition, but he never quit trying. He saw service in nearly every game. With the benefit of this year’s training, he will be a valuable man in years to come. Maurice Porter Full Porter relieved Wicker at the full back position. He is a fast player, a hard tackier, and an all-round man. With another year’s experience he will be an outstanding player. Page t fO SUL ROSS 6—SOUTHWEST TEXAS 15 After losing to the Aggies, the Lobos started a two-week training period in preparation for their contest with the San Marcos Bobcats, and incidentally their first T.I.A.A. game of the season. To have won the game would have meant much to the Lobos, since the Bobcats were one of the strongest teams in the conference and finally won the champion¬ ship. The two teams tangled at Uvalde in one of the hardest fought games of the season. Tn spite of the fact that the Lobos had their fighting blood up, they failed to work effective¬ ly except for a short time, in the second half. Through long gains by Acker and Clark, the Merritt AVithers Half Buddy played his last game with the Lobos. He has fought for the scarlet and gray for four years and worn the colors nobly both on the gridiron and in the class room. He is a consistent fighter and player. He is liked by all, and his place will be hard to fill. Nowlin Williams Guard Tiny filled up a large hole in the line. He was not afraid to mix it up, and he got through an opponent’s line more than once to break up a play. He will be remembered for his defensive work. Page 1 1 Lobos scored their only touchdown. The Bobcats scored a touchdown in the first half on a long pass and tackled a Lobo punter behind the line for a safety. In the second half, the Bobcat safety returned a punt forty-five yards for another touchdown, giving them the heavv end of a 15-6 score. LOBOS 0—miners 0 For the first time in four years, the Lobos and Miners played in Alpine. The Miners, who had not defeated a Lobo football team since ’24, the first time the two teams played, Cecil McClatchy End and Half McClatchy came to us from Eldorado. He played the first half of the season at half and then switched to end. He is fast and steady. He gives promise of developing into an exceptional player. Roy May End Buckshot battles with all of his 142 pounds. He is always hustling, and he never quits, no matter how tough the going is. Buck is the type of player who makes the best coach. He would inspire his men to keep fighting. Page 1 2 came down fully determined to win, but the Lobos were just as determined. The Miners made more first downs, but they were kept in defensive territory most of the time, threatening the Lobo goal only once. 1 Iron Man McNeill, who made his local debut as a quarter, was, perhaps, the outstanding performer of the game. His long punts, passes, and ball-carrying were of great aid to the Lobos. In the first hall Wicker scooped up a fumbled lateral pass and raced across the goal line, but after a short argument it was ruled that the play was a forward pass, and therefore the touchdown failed to count. Gene McCullough Half Gene also played his last game for Sul Ross. He has a spirit that never loses, and his presence meant much to the team. Red always grinned no matter how hard they hit him. Arnold Denman Guard Little Denny was kept out of the first part of the season by an early injury. He was a good defensive worker and fast on running interference. He could block well, and often broke through the line to throw the opponent for a loss. Page 143 The Lobos threatened to score again in the second half after Porter had carried the ball down the field by means of several plunges and off-tackle plays, but they were held for downs still several yards short of a counter. The game was hard fought by both sides. SUL ROSS 48—RANDOLPH 0 The Lobos and the Badgers tangled this year for the first time since ’26, when they played a 0-0 tie on Jackson Field with the Badgers having a slight advantage. The Lobos, having lost every game of the season thus far, were determined to win. After the first Laurence Stevens Half Pokey is still a little light for a college team, but his speed and fighting spirit make up for his lack in weight. Next year he will be a valuable man since he knows the system and is a consistent player and fighter. Curtis Bozarth Quarter “Little Bo” was another first-year man. He was light, but he managed the team well. He is a smart quarter and should make his mark in the T.I.A.A. Page l! k few minutes of the game, there was no doubt about the outcome. It was only a question ot how fast the Lobos could pile up the score. The regulars scored 24 points in the first half while the reserves, not to be outdone, scored 24 more in the last half. Every man on the squad got into action. The much lighter and somewhat crippled Badgers never let up scrapping, but they were unable to hold the faster and heavier Lobo team. Marion Cooper Guard—Tackle Cooper played his second year with the team. He played both guard and tackle and was adept at each. His skill and size make him a valuable lineman. He will make some one hustle for honors on an all T.I.A.A. team. Leslie Acker Half Acker is a fast, shifty half who is good on end runs and quick opening plays. He played a consistent brand of football throughout the whole season. His speed and love for the game make him an asset to the team. Page 1 5 SUL ROSS 0—McMURRY 0 Going into the McMurry game as the underdogs, the badly crippled Lobo team fought the Indians toe to toe in a sea of mud. It was the second T.I.A.A. game of the season for the Lobos, and it was also a chance to avenge their last year’s one-point defeat by the Indians. Although they were unable to score, their defense kept the Indians from cross¬ ing the goal line. The Lobos rose to every occasion; twice they held the Redskins for downs within the ten-yard line. Because of the muddy field, the game was rather slow. Sen- Blanton McLean End Me played his second season with the Lobos. He is small for an end, but few runs get around him. He is fast in getting down on punts, and expert in receiving passes; he is a sure tackier and a good blocker. He will give any one a race for football honors. Elmer Siiortes Guard Shortes was a relief man at the guard position. He is a good blocker and defen¬ sive worker. Experience will make him a valuable man. He will probably see reg¬ ular service next year. Page l i sational runs were impossible. The Lobos ’ only threat was stopped short of a touchdown by the timer’s gun. The game, though scoreless, was a hard, clean fight throughout, SUL ROSS 13—SCHREINER 37 On Turkey Day, for the first time in five years, the Lobos met Schreiner on Jackson Field. The Mountaineers are one of the three teams that can boast of having defeated the Lobos on their own field. For some unknown reason, the Lobos did not play the brand of football they were capable of playing. In the second period, Hilliard, fast Charles Dyer, Captain Tackle Charlie finished his career as a football player. He has made a record which will be hard to beat. As captain he steered the Lobos through two seasons and made a good leader. His knowledge of the game and his ability to play good football made him one of the best tackles in this part of the state. Ray McNeill Half Back Ray lived up to his nickname of “Iron Man,” playing almost every minute of each game. A change was made in the backfield, and Ray took the quarter position. He found himself early in the season on his punts, and several yards were gained by his booting. Page lift Schreiner half—one of the best ever seen in this part of the country—caught a perfect pass and raced the remaining distance for a touchdown. In the third quarter, Hilliard scored three times. In the last minutes of the same period, Young entered the game for the Lobos and carried the ball within a yard of the goal. Wicker carried the ball over for a touchdown. The last quarter was played by the reserves of both teams. Schreiner scored Earl Wicker Full Wick saw regular service at the full back position. Big and fairly fast, he is a hard tackier, and good on defense. He was a consistent gainer as is shown by the number of touchdowns he made. When he hit the line, he did not stop for any one. Kermit Allen Guard, End Red has played his last year with the Lobos. During his years with the team he has played guard, end, half, and quarter. This year he played guard and end. Red’s football history will not end with the close of his four years as a Lobo, for he has the ability to succeed in coaching as well as in playing. Page 148 twice while the Lobos scored once. The Lobos opened up a passing attack that carried them to their second touchdown. A pass was made to a Loho end. The ball was fumbled, but because of interference by a Schreiner back the pass was ruled complete. From the one-yard line, Wicker plunged across for the score. The game had ended, but the Lobos were allowed to kick goal. The final score was 13-37—the worst deteat the Lobos had had for two years. James Terrell Guard—Tackle Jim played tackle and guard this year. He is a good player and has the Sul Ross Spirit. A little more experience will make him an all-round man. He still has three years to show his stuff. Woodward Young Full and Half Vitchy played his first season with the Lobos. He worked hard for his place, for he had a lot of competition. Vitchy plays hard and will be a valuable man next year. He will be remembered for his work in the Schreiner game. Page lJ t 9 Harry Watson Jim Head Reserves Milton Ellyson Gilbert Mize Raymond Wheat James Terrell Forward Jim was one of the fish to make the starting line-up. He is tall and ex¬ ceptionally good at recovering a tip-off. He is a fast floor man and a good shot. Blanton McLean, Captain Guard McLean changed from forward 1o run¬ ning guard this year. His playing is marked by speed, good dribbling, and accurate passing. As a captain, he was liked by all the squad, and he managed the team well. Marcus Hale Forward Marcus Hale and Jim made a great pair at forwards. Hale is a fast floor man, accurate on both long and crip shots, and a good passer. He was second highest scorer on the team. ( Booker Connally Center Booker started the season off as a reg¬ ular at the guard position and held it down all the season. He could always be counted on for long shots when the team was in the hole. He is a good passer and dribbler. Kermit Allen Guard Red was the only senior on the team. He was equally adept at guard and at forward. lie did not start the season until late, but he soon found his place and played it well. Marcus Connally Center As a center “Red” was hard to beat. He was one of the seven men, and the only center, in the T.I.A.A. to score over one hundred points. He was mentioned as all T.I.A.A. center. He still has two years to play. Thomas Skevington Center Tom is well over six feet in height, and few centers are able to get the tip-off from him. He is especially good on crip shots and rebounds. Harry Watson Forward Harry Watson is a product of Alpine High School. He is small, but fast and sure on the court. He relieved Hale and Terrell at the forward positions and managed to score his share of points. Darrell York Guard Darrell managed to play in nearly all the home games. He likes the game and puts all that he has in it. He still has a year to show his stuff, and will probably see a good deal of service. Vitchy Young Forward Vitchy was the running partner to Harry. He is an accurate goalshooter and a good passer. Even if he does not have an action picture shown, he was always on the go and hustling for a place. The Basketball Season B ECAUSE of a ruling ill the T.I.A.A. in regard to training during the holi¬ days, Coach Graves was faced by the huge task of moulding in a very short time, from largely green material, a team that had to face not only five strong T.I.A.A. teams, and one of them twice, but two strong non-conference teams. Out of a limited number of freshmen and sophomores, including four letter men and one reserve, Coach built a combination that made a creditable showing against some of the best teams in Texas. Although they lost more games than they won, they contested each game hotly and always managed to run up a rather large score. The season opened in the middle of January with a two-game series with the Canyon Buffaloes, who were the winners of the T.I.A.A. this year. The Lobos lost both games, but were encouraged by their showing and settled down to work in preparation for the game with the New Mexico Aggies. In a rough, thrilling tussle, the Lobos overcame a large lead to snow under the Aggies in the first game. The second was lost by a bare three points. The third series consisted of three encounters with the Kingsville Javelinas. The Lobos took the first but lost the second and third. Incidentally, two of the games required an extra period. After the Kingsville series, the squad went on the road for four games, two with Tech and two with Canyon. They lost all, but in each they displayed good team work. Next they met Daniel Baker and A.C.C.—and lost again by a close score. After this trip the team returned home and played the McMurry College Indians three games here. The Lobos clearly had the better team and won all three games, thus closing the season with a victory. In two years of competition in the T.I.A.A. the Lobos came up three steps on the ladder. They had a percentage of .284 in the T.I.A.A. and a season per¬ centage of .277.

So was it when Chivvy’s life began, so is it now she is a centenarian. Behold her—topless, minus a running board, her radiator cracked, her steering wheel bandaged, her moth-eaten up¬ holstery bulging into hummocks and sinking into sudden chasms. Yet despite these marks of decrepitude and senility, Chivvy retains something of her pristine grace of line, and caprice and whimsicality of youth. Of her, as of Nancy Watson’s famous Cleopatra Ford, a modern Enobarbus might well exclaim: Age cannot wither her nor custom stale Her infinite variety. She remembers all her former glory, and as she wends her way down the avenue, we hear from her internal rumblings a muttering Of old unhappy, far-off things And battles long ago. Yet a few days and the all-enduring Chivvy will be seen no more. She will be relegated to the museum along with Knox Reid’s famous Mexico, there at last to rest beneath this fitting epitaph: “My head is bloody, but unbowed”. And so, because of the courage and beauty of her, because of the veneration in which we hold her, we reverently dedicate the Branding Iron of 1930 to THE COLLEGE CHIVVY WHT BOYS LEAVE SCHOOL AlAftEj—(foul Solomcn unioh Address ; spri-ho :??

The four murdered men were known as fine upstanding examples of manhood in Al¬ pine. Their names on the college faculty were: C. A. Gilley, .1. C. Coleman, B. C. Graves, and C. Casey. Their names were far different in Chicago, for they were four of the outstanding leaders in the crookdom of Chicago. C. A. Gilley was none other than the famous Fat Mike McGaughey wlio was rated by crooks as the best safe¬ cracker in the U. S. In Chicago circles the physics professor in Sul Ross, J. C. Coleman, went by the name of Flash Fred Wizwozki. He was called Flash because of his quickness in drawing a gun. B. C. Graves, Sul R ss coach, was designated in the Chicago underworld by the short but poignant title, Gutterpup Popini. Clifford Casey, quiet unassuming his¬ tory prof, and Sunday School teacher in Texas, played a far different role in Illinois. Runt Rooney is said to have been the cause for more boot¬ leg whiskey being brought in¬ to Chicago from Canada than any other one person. All four men were closely associated in Chicago.

All four of these gangsters were forced at different times to flee from Chicago. Each found in the quiet of Sul Ross State Teacher’s College just the refuge he was seek¬ ing. Flash Fred Wizwoski and Fat Mike McGaughey arrived at almost the same time. Their flight was due to a notorious machine gun raid which they had planned and led against the reform¬ ing mayor of the city. The Gutterpup arrived some three years later, shortly after he had taken a reporter of the Chicago Tribune on a last ride. Runt Rooney arrived the last, timing his arrival with the sending of A1 Capone to prison. He had been running a prosperous speakeasy for A1 Capone un¬ til his business was suddenly stopped. Although the actual mur¬ derers of these former rack¬ eteers are not definitely known, circumstantial evidence throws the blame on A1 Capone who was known to have been in McCamey at about the time of the mur¬ ders. No doubt A1 Capone considered a shot in the back the most effective way of dealing with treacherous henchmen, who were looked upon as honored members of the Sul Ross faculty.

Tourist Dies In Trick Road Near College Lost In Maze Fellow Wanders For Three Days OUT OF GAS Freezes To Death As He Abandons Hope A thin, wornout middle- aged man was found in front of the Sul Ross Main Build¬ ing this morning, dead. His car had given out of gas, and he had evidently slumped down in the front seat and frozen to death. Students and faculty members identi¬ fied him as the mysterious tourist who had been driving for three days and nights in the maze-like driveway on the college campus. Officers say that he had got by chance into the maze and had been unable to find his way out. As he was some¬ what nearsighted he con¬ tinued to drive until he had run out of gas. Overcome by- hunger and cold, he collapsed in the front seat and passed to his reward. Many have viewed the body, but so far it has not been identified. “No, children, noth¬ ing else like, it exists in American literature. My novel is unique. It is the old West as it really was. And it is to be issued by the greatest publishers in America next fall.” This is the coy and modest declaration of John W ? . “Jack” O’Con¬ nor, novelist, miner, soldier, sailor, news¬ paper man, and scholar. Prexy Sorry But Says Victim Had No Right Here Trick Road No Road; Maze For Testing Profs , Says “I am indeed sorry about the poor fellow who died in the driveway last night,” said Dr. H. W Morelock, presi¬ dent of Sul Ross, this morn¬ ing when he was interviewed by a SHIRTLINE reporter, “but I do not think it the fault of Sul Ross. Our drive¬ way is not public property, and he had no right to be in it. Besides, the thing is not a driveway, after all.” “What is it then?” asked the SHIRTLINE reporter. “I’ll take you into my confidence,” declared Dr. Morelock. “It is a little scheme I have for testing the mentality of prospective fac¬ ulty members. When an in¬ structor applies for a posi¬ tion here, I put him at one end of the maze and a pipe¬ ful of Prince Albert and a broiled steak at the other. If he can conquer the maze and reach the steak in 45 minutes, he is hired—if, of course, his other qualifications are all right. If not, he is not considered.... after a tremendous amount of research,” declared Dr. Morelock, “and I am very- proud of it. I got the idea from watching experiments on white rats at the Uni¬ versity of Oiicago. If one can apply the principle to white rats, why not to hu¬ man beings?” “Have all the present members of the faculty pass¬ ed the test. Dr. Morelock?” asked the reporter. “No, no,” replied Dr. Morelock, wiping away a tear, “and I’m afraid that some of them could not pass it. But I can’t turn th e poor creatures out to starve. I found Mr. Gilley wandering about in the maze the other day. He had been at it since early morning. He had missed his early classes, and he had lost 63 pounds. Poor fellow—he was crying bit¬ terly in hunger and fear. It was just too much for him.” Suddenly Dr. Morelock stood up. “Well, goodbye,” he. said; “I can talk no longer.” He opened a drawer in his desk and started hurling old letters, catalogs, apple cores, photographs, shotgun shells, and overcoats over the room.” “Virginia, Virginia, take a letter,” he cried. “Miss Flora, where is the San Mar¬ cos letter? Wliere? Where?” Then the reporter went out to the SHIRTLINE office to write this story.

Mencken, and Barney Booker, that the venerable custom of attending as¬ sembly be abolished. This startling sug¬ gestion was immediately cried down by the students of the leading colleges and universities, who gave the following rea¬ sons for their indignant protest: 1. The aesthetic value (not to mention other values, such as the anaesthetic one) which the students receive from the musi¬ cal and dramatic programs given by the local fine arts departments is essential to the complete cultural development of mod¬ ern youth. 2. The inspirational messages of lead pencil salesmen, Chiropodists, Fire Insur¬ ance Agents, and representatives from the Societies for Prevention of Vices point out the good life to many a faltering soul. 3. The opportunity afforded Prexy to review his Sabbath School lesson is indis¬ pensable. 4. The half hour of concentrated study afforded by the chapel periods is a great means of recruiting the ranks of the Scholarship Society. Sul Ross students are grateful to their fellow students throughout the land for the noble stand they have taken on this ques¬ tion. Their exposition hath been most sound. THE PRIVATE LIFE OF MY PATRONS By Travis Dean Have you read this start¬ ling new novel ? Get your copy at the S. R. Book Store now. This is a romance, giv¬ ing in complete detail the lives of many people whom you will know and recognize. The book is written in a charming laundry-boy style with vivid descriptions. This, O’Connor’s newest novel, has just been run seri¬ ally in “The Amazing Story Magazine”. Mr. O’Connor is now writing novels at the rate of four a week in the hope that he will be able to shat¬ ter the record set by E. P. Oppenheim. However, this has caused some malicious wag to start a whispering campaign alleging that Mr. O’Connor is employing ghost writers from his Freshman class. The plot of this livid story centers around the love life of an Arizona burro, and faithfully depicts this jovial character whose soul is dis¬ torted by the tender passion. The hero is an ardent lover, but is of a roving nature caused, no doubt, by reading the autobiography of Rudy Valee. The heroines, three blondes from Texas, are dazzled by the gay night life of Phoenix, and fall easy prey to the hero’s wiles. The author’s knowledge of love matters seems infinite, but the situations are handled with the utmost delicacy. Therefore, Mr. O’Connor’s fans will not be disappointed, for those who enjoyed his previous novel, “A Grisly Tale of the Tenderloin”, will writhe in ecstasy on reading this one. Aside from the love in¬ terests of the story, the author fluently discussed un¬ couth Texicans, Prohibition, inhibition, the Kallikaks, posted pastures, Lily Damita, spinsters, grenadine, chianti, sotol, Adam Smith, Black- stone, and Woodrow Wilson. NOVELIST “Jack” O’Connor The. novel has already created quite a furor among the critics. Zane Grey and Edgar Rice Burroughs have tiled damage suits for plag¬ iarism. The following com¬ ments on the book were made: Theodore Dreiser: “Dup¬ lication of some of my love- life.” II. L. Mencken: “Liver- wurst und wiener schnitzels mit unter den Linden.” G. J. Nathan: “Whatever Mencken says is all right with me.” Robert Hichens: “It is perfectly gorgeous.” Thornton Wilder: “O.K. but have you read ‘A Woman of Andros’?” Annie Besant: “He is a new Messiah.” —Reviewed by Eleanor O’Connor been discovered in one of the most startling cases of philanthropy ever known. Though Red is known by his friends to be one of the most generous and kind people in the world, this in¬ stance of his expansive na¬ ture. surpasses all others. From March 1 until March 9 Red was mysteriously miss¬ ing. No one had any clues as to his whereabouts. On March 1 the Sul Ross beauties were nominated. On March 9 the last deciding vote was cast. On that day Red once more put in his appearance and casually ask¬ ed the outcome of the beauty contest. There was an ex¬ pression of the benevolent martyr on his face. And as he expressed his actions and intentions to a close friend so they were. It was cer¬ tainly giving the fair damsels of Sul Ross a clean break. Attention Slimes!

Seven boarders entered the contest. When it was well under way, Miss Lefcraft called out to her backers, “If you expect me to win this contest, you’ll have to bring me some bread and potatoes to eat with these steaks. I crave gravy too.” It was astonishing to see the woman’s appetite go up with merely a dozen buns and a bowl of potatoes to whet it. She settled down to three hours of work while her admirers stood by cheer¬ ing. Anne Worthitall, last year ' s victor, d.opped out fol¬ lowing a broken jaw. After two hours and forty-five minutes Jack D’Canter, run¬ ner up left the table wailing, “I’m just not big enough.” Good sportsmanship char¬ acterized the contest, all participants shaking hands at the conclusion. Miss Lef¬ craft was presented with a barbecued steer and a barrel of Kraut at the Court of Awards on Field Day, May 1.

Cowan, Britt And Keefer Are Dead Here Try To Follow Neck- ers With Fatal Results The students of Sul Ross State Teachers’ College situ¬ ated here received a half holi¬ day Saturday because of a very serious accident which occurred in one of the canyons a few miles from town. Three of the faculty mem¬ bers, Miss Elizabeth Keefer, Miss Alice Cowan, Dean of Women, and Miss Lutie Britt, were having a quiet, restful, little ride when they espied two of the students in a fast moving car. When they at¬ tempted to give chase, they ran off the road. Miss Kee¬ fer, who was driving the car, lost control of it, and ran into a tree, (the only tree in the country ' ), demolishing the car, and fatally injuring all occupants.

Investigating officers dis¬ covered the bodies of 19 and % decaying bald, black, and brown eagles mouldering in her attic. These odoriferous cadavers had been the cause of all the trouble. According to Miss Keefer, the decayed birds were event¬ ually to be shipped to the Indians of Arizona and New Mexico, where their feathers were to be used for head¬ dresses. “A likely story,” said Sheriff W. 0. Hale when he was questioned about the case. “I’ll bet she’s going to make some kind of home fools that have the idea that money is everything in the world. However, I have given up this opportunity of a business career to stay here and help my Alma Mater en¬ tertain the youthful football stars, for I am a firm believer that loyalty should begin at home, and we all know that unless some entertainment and encouragement is offered, our star players will go some¬ where else to display their talent.” brew of them. That gal will bear looking into.” The expert lawyer retained by Miss Keefer declined to discuss the case when inter¬ viewed by a SHIRTLINE re¬ porter. “I have nothing to say,” lie said, “but that we will fight this case out.” It is rumored, however, that Miss Keefer will base her plea on artistic and altruis¬ tic impulses. But it is thought highly improbable that there can be found for the jury twelve West Texans who will rate Art and Altruism very highly when they are responsible for taint¬ ing the fresh ozone of the Great West. For this reason it is feared that the Indian craft will decay like the eagles in Miss Keefer’s attic for want of bronzed feathers while the noble Miss Keefer languishes in a reeking jail, martyr to a high cause. “Well, my dear, how does it feel to have a date with a million¬ aire’s son?

Bell, wealthy cattleman, when he swerved to a stop at the curb. Immediately, curious co-eds began examining “My Blue Heaven”, Mr. Bell’s high- powered motor. Exclamations of “Oh! Ah! Some motor! Wonder how fast she’ll go,” and “It’s a regular Lulu,” arose from the amazed crowd. Bell smiled, a slight rosy glow covering his handsome face, “Well, fellows, how about a drink to Mr. Bell?” he said, pulling a pint of Wat erf ill and Frazier from a side pocket in his car. “You girls might enjoy a coke.” With a carefree laugh, he flashed a crisp $50.00 bill at the soda skeet. At the sight of such lavish entertainment several girls fainted, the rest turned pale, the boys were speechless. An eager reporter for the Shirtline mustered enough courage to interview the wealthy newcomer as to why he had chosen to come to Sul Ross. After a bit of hesitation, the reckless youth admitted, grinning: “Well, I have always had a more or less Democratic spirit about me, so I de¬ cided to come out here and give you an idea of how we Moneyed Folks live. I have a twenty-dollar gold piece which I intend to present to the high point man in Basket Ball. You kids don’t do much living out in this country, I see. We own four ranches. Certainly a lot of money in this ranching busi¬ ness. Now, how does it feel to have a millionaire in your midst?” “Oh, yes, you can put a picture of me with this story,” Bell told the reporter, as he shoved his car into low gear, and sped down the street.
