SUL ROSS ASPIRES TO THE BIG BEND NATIONAL PARK Down on the Rio Grande, Texas displays her most rusged mountain scenery, whose precipitous cliffs and changing hues under the evening sunset satisfy the most fastidious artist’s dream of form and colors. Deep canyons, shadowed with towering pines and inhabited by wild deer and other animals, offer a quiet, cool retreat for a night s rest, and the inspiring view from Mount Emory at sunrise is ample reward for the three-hour trip on a burro to its topmost pinnacle. The “Big Bend” takes its name from the sweep of the Rio Grande far to the South in Brewster and Presidio Counties, In this land with its magic purple of mountains, with its green rolling uplands, with its verdant riot of canyon depths and gray crags brooding above, with its flaming sunsets, and with its white-starred depths of night“ in this beauty spot of Texas artists from far and near are finding new materials in form and color. The 100,000-acre Chisos Mountains abound both in Flora and fauna, unusual in their variety and in their appeal to scientists. The black-tail deer roam at will, guard their fawns, frisk at play, steal an occasional meal until some Nimrod injects tragedy Into the scene. The black bear enjoys his evening devotions, the coon greets the intruder with a curious look from his den, the ring-tailed cat scampers away to its retreat, the surly badger bids defiance, and when night comes, the coyote serenades with his plaintive peals. —Such is the Big Bend of Texas.

ATHLETICS Seldon Robinson Assistant Coach B. C. Graves Coach Under the capable leadership of B. C. Graves and his assistant, Seldon Robinson, Sul Ross offered an intercollegiate athletic program in football, tennis and golf. This year the Sul Ross Lobos entered the Alamo Conference Basketball race after a year’s layoff. To these molders of better manhood and sportsmanship the Brand offers its appreciation for a job that was well done. Led by the three cheer leaders, representatives of the Scarlet Peppers, girls’ pep squad, and the Wolves, boys’ cheering section, the student body yelled lustily at all the football games to encourage the players and to let others know for whom they were rooting. Margaret is a three-year “letter man’’; Keith and Frances are first-year cheer leaders. Frances Cotter Keith Morrow Margaret Weyerts I FOOTBALL . . . Stamina and Teamwork I Bo Graham and Tom Fowler were the co-captains who led the 1938 edition of the Sul Ross Lobos to a fairly successful season. Graham was the hard-running fullback who was one of the main cogs in the Lobo running attack. Fowler was the heads-up defensive guard who was on the bottom of many of the pile-ups. Both of these men are seniors and their absence in the Scarlet and Gray ranks will be felt. To these two leaders, the Brand hopes that they are as successful in later life as they were as Sul Ross Lobos. The Sul Ross Lobos overwhelmingly defeated the plucky Weatherford lads by a score of 33-9 in a nocturnal tilt, September 24, at Rotary Field, Pecos. The scores for Weatherford were made by virtue of a 27-yard field goal and a touchdown from a pass play. Sul Ross made five touchdowns and three extra points. The outstanding feature of the game was the 53-yard run by Graham when he intercepted a pass from Weather¬ ford on the defensive 25-yard marker and ran to the Sul Ross 12. The Sul Ross Lobos bowed down to defeat on October 1, before the strong Abilene Christian College team by a score of 14-0 in an extremely hot afternoon tilt. The heat seemed to cause the Lobos to lack the punch and effectiveness in their running attack to keep up with the hosts. This victory by the Christians is the first in the last eight starts against the Lobos. Carrick Archer Birchum Tackle Quarterback Tackle The fast running rabbit backs of Sul Ross Lobos overwhelmed the game and fight¬ ing John Tarleton Plowboys in an afternoon encounter on October 8, in Marfa, by a score of 32-13. Graham was high scorer of the game with three touchdowns to his credit. The scores for Tarleton were made in the second and fourth quarters. Sul Ross scored in the last three quarters. Long runs by Hefenbrock, Archer and Graham plus heads-up ball playing by the entire team gave the locals an Alamo Conference victory over the highly touted and favored St. Mary’s Rattlers by a score of 9 to 7 on October 22. Barrett of the Lobos and Mouton of the visitors were credited with the touchdowns. Archer and Potts kicked the extra points. The two points difference was by virtue of Graham’s recovering a blocked punt behind the end zone. Peimbert Auten Back Back Ochoa End Sul Ross took it on the chin on Saturday night, October 29 in Kingsville when the Texas A I Javelinas lambasted them to the tune of 20-6. The Lobos never got their offensive to clicking any time during the game and played a ragged defensive game all the way through. The Lobos lone score came as a result of a fumble recovered by Schupbach behind the goal line. The Sul Ross Lobos went down in defeat to the Buffaloes of West Texas State College, by a score of 16-7 in Canyon on the afternoon of November 5. Both teams played outstanding ball and it was not until the last quarter until the outcome of the game was decided. Graham scored the touchdown for the Lobos. Bradley Riggs Bentley End Center Guard I i The Sul Ross Lobos proved to the whole crowd on Armistice Day that they have a powerful team when they defeated the Schreiner Institute Mountaineers by a score of 27-6. In less than three minutes the Lobos had scored the first of their four touchdowns. Before a homecoming crowd of approximately 2,000 persons the Sul Ross Lobos were held to a 7-7 tie by the Texas Wesleyan Rams on November 19 , at night. The game was a seesaw affair from the start to the finish. The Lobos drew first blood early in the second quarter when Graham plunged over for the score from the two-yard line. The Rams came back in the latter part of the same quarter to score. A long pass set up the chance for the Rams to get their point. During the half. Dr. Morelock dedicated the newly acquired lights on behalf of the Alpine School Board, Alpine Chamber of Commerce, and Sul Ross State Col¬ lege.

Handicapped by the loss of the entire Alamo Conference Champion¬ ship team of 1936 and 1937, the Sul Ross Lobos were barely able to win two conference games this season. Only two former squadmen were out for this year ' s competition. Another serious handicap was the fact that basketball was not an intercollegiate sport last year. Next year’s team is expected to go places as there seems to be an adequate supply of reserve material that can be utilized at that time.
