El Rancho 1930 has caught and shall hold for you the spirit of de- mocracy, patriotism, and philanthropy which permeates the life of the College of Arts and Industries. With the theme of Industrialism presented through modern- istic art, the Staff has attempted to review the events, pleasures and activities of the first year of Our New Institution.

Your choice vindicates your faith in what wise men have told you of the advantages that come with college training. It. is a ringing challenge to other young people of your age. May not our institution present definite, assignable results from this heavy Investment of time and money? Among these let us point out a minimum num- ber of failures and a maximum number of successes. Let us not. furnish the shysters among lawyers, quacks among doctors, Iehabods among teachers, Elmer Gantrys among preachers, clock-watchers in the shops, or shirkers among the workers anywhere. By the sweat of the brow shall thou eat bread” expands our doctrine of work, My blessing, not my doom.” We take no short cuts; we pay the full price of learning, of virtue, and of character. We shall acquire the gifts and graces, the good morals and gentle manners that characterize the Chris- tian gentlewoman and gentleman. Epictetus, 341 B. C., Homan slave and Stoic philosopher, is quoted as saying, Thou shalt expect nothing outside thyself.” The same in Christian philosophy is, The Kingdom is within you.” Limitless supplies of choicest viands are useless if a man cannot digest his food. Downy pillows and.softest cushions are valueless to a man who cannot sleep. Ravishing rainbows in .austral splendor, flower gar- dens as beautiful as an angel's gossamer garments, paintings, the gifts of inspired genius, are but blurs on landscape or canvas to him that has eyes that see but dimly. College life prepares the mind and heart to receive, to interpret, and to enjoy the material world, both nature and human nature. It prepares a measure by which a man may estimate values correctly. It develops a discriminating judgment which may be applied with safety to all conditions in life. In college the student should find himself and the way home. He should find a faith in men and in God, and a love for both. This is college. Is it practical? Does if pay? You may answer. Earth's crossed,.with heaven, and every common busli afire with God, But only he who sees puts off his shoes.” Sincerely your friend. R. B. Cousins. President.

I In the grand old State of Texas, In the Southland warm and fair, Where all is bright and sunny, And the breezes fan the air. There is our Alma Mater, The college we adore; Where we make good friends and love them As we’ve ne’er loved friends before. CHORUS Oh, Texas A. I. Your name we ever shall revere, For we love your campus verdant, And your halls so full of cheer! We love your stately palm trees And your cloister close by. For there’s none so dear, though far or near. As Texas A, L In the forum where we gather, For the songs we love to sing Our voices rise up to the skies, And we make the welkin ring, We sing of love and duty, Of dreams of marble halls. We repeat the chorus softly As the echo gently falls.

They were stimulated and organized by a few teachers who desired to make a few dollars, by the collec- tion of tuition fees, for the purpose of paying grocery bills. They were usually the superintendents and principals in a small group of communities. These schools were patronized by those teachers who desired a small amount of drilling and cramming for the county examinations, which were held for the purpose of issuing certificates to teachers. These three-weeks schools were increased to four and five and six weeks. At this stage of development the colleges began to open their doors to students in the summer time. The longest step from its primitive conditions to the present well developed summer school in Texas was that known as the State School of Methods. The first of these was held at Dallas, the second one at Waco, and the third and last one at Austin, under the administration of J. M. Carlyle, State Sup- erintendent of Public Instruction. The first State school in Texas to organize and teach a three months’ summer school, making the work equal in value to any other quarter of the year, was the school in Canyon, in 1013. Following this notable advance, one State school after another increased its summer school length, until now there seems to be no ques- tion but that all State supported schools ought to provide a regular term of work on the same basis as the work done in other quarters. The summer schools have been the means of promoting education in Texas in a most notable degree. They are now the hope of all the teachers in pursuit of degrees of all kinds. Let me congratulate the teachers of this section that a school amply provided lias been opened in your midst. Let me congratulate the teachers—you who are here especially—on hhving found your way up through this open way. The Col- lege of Arts and Industries welcomes you to participation in whatever good things it may have. $ Your friend, R. B. Cousins, President.

I. is a happy, busy institution. About seventy-five student teachers are at work here, studying the various problems of teaching in the Mexican school, from the first to the fourth grade, and in the American school from the first to the sixth grade. Many of the classes are held on the beautiful campus under the mes- quite trees, which is a delightful setting for dramatizations, group work, reading, games, etc. The school is held throughout the summer quarter.

Even though many of the students of the long session do not remain for the summer session, there are those new ones in the summer who desire the training of ensemble playing, and each summer finds the Orchestra reorganized. The Orchestra this past summer had a very good instrumentation for the comparatively small number; a chapel program was played, a feature of which was the presentation of an original composition by Louis Bartlett, a Senior with a major in Music. The members of the Orchestra (reading left to right) were: A. H. Engle, director; Evelyn Fisher Herrington, piano; Nell Paul, violin; Ethel Knox, saxophone; Dorothy Elliott, double bass; Corinne Hamill, violin; Margaret House, violin; Una Mae Fair, clarinet; Stanley Windham, French horn; Marjorie Cramer, cello; Thomas Moore, cornet; Mrs. Clyde Reed, cello; Frank Heard, cornet; Louis Bartlett, violin; Edith Cousins, violin; O. C. McClanahan, bass; Dorothy Albrecht, violin; Charlotte McEowen, violin; Bertha Prokop, violin. Summer School Chorus Each Summer Session finds a Mixed Chorus organized, largely for recreational singing of those students that enjoy this type of work. How- ever, there is some study made of standard chorus numbers, and the group has occasion to sing before the student body.

Rill remodels his wreck for the co-eds use on Spring af- ternoons, ‘Robert J. 'Kleberg The picture on the next page is that of Mr. R. J. Kleberg, of Kings- ville, Texas. He is the builder of the King Ranch, Mr. Kleberg’s early manhood was devoted to the practice of law. In that profession he made notable progress, and was facing a future of great professional usefulness and distinction. Upon the death of Captain Richard King, the man who conceived the idea of converting the brush land of South Texas into a regulated empire for the production of livestock that should feed the nation, Mrs. King, sole legatee and executrix, selected the young lawyer, Robert J. Kleberg, to become manager of the King Ranch, which, at that date, had become re- gional in its magnificent proportions, Robert J. Kleberg reacted immedi- ately to the large demands, and matched colossal responsibilities with mar- velous ability, which rapidly became adequate skill. The King Ranch, with its wonderful area and high-bred livestock, superb organization and splendid personnel, is the combined achievement of the two strong men— King and Kleberg, No sketch of R. J. Kleberg, however brief, should be allowed to occupy space in print that did not credit him with at least these two notable con- tributions to the livestock industry, the work of his life. He was the first to discover artesian water in South Texas, by which the desert was made to blossom like a rose. He was the first to suspect that cow ticks were the cause of fever in imported cattle, and was the first to prove his con- clusion. By that discovery the thrifty “Shorthorns,” the beautiful white- face Herefords, the lordly Brahmas, and the silken Jerseys, have driven the Longhorns from their old haunts, and multiplied the profits of every cattle raiser in the South. These are the gifts, to his time and country, made by R, J. Kleberg, pioneer, premier cattle raiser, empire builder, and great citizen, beloved at home, and honored at home and abroad. MR. ROBERT J. KLEBERG It is due to the kindness of Mr. Robert J. Kleberg that the Santa Ger- trudis Jersey Farm affords a remarkable field laboratory in connection with the animal husbandry and agricultural courses of Texas A. I. Col- lege. One of the chief aims in operating the farm is to contribute some- thing in educational progress, and it is to the attainment of this purpose that the management cordially invites all students agriculturally or simi- larly inclined to visit the farm at any available opportunity. over mmm SHOUT COURSE The first Annual Farmers’ Short Course, held in co-oper- ation with the Kleberg Coun- ty Dairy and Standard Live Stock Association.

The Council this year has been active, not only in promoting student programs on student chapel day, but also in promoting a wholesome school spirit and a public opinion on the campus in favor of honesty, clean sports- manship and gentility on the part of the students. Its officers have tried to make it representative of the student body, and to the extent that it has been such it has been successful.

The top or ranking tenth of the Junior and Senior classes is eligible for member- ship. No person is chosen for this society who does not have the full con- fidence of the faculty. Students consider it a high honor to merit this confidence—scholarship they achieve for themselves.

Each position held by a student is indispensable, and the application of these student leaders to their positions is responsible for much of the success of the music in the College. Myrtle Ruth Godwin Business Manager of Girls' Glee Club Paul Forgy Librarian of Orchestra Stanley Windham Business Manager, Orchestra Director, Band Luther Crofford Business Manager of Men’s Glee Club Godwin Windham Forgy Crofford Orchestra The Orchestra, under Miss Wood's direction, has reached a high degree of proficiency; the group plays intelligently some of the works of Bee- thoven, Tschaikowsky, Schubert, Thomas, Grainger, and other writers for the orchestra. Each succeeding year finds the Orchestra adding at least one of the less commonly played instruments, the goal being to eventually establish symphonic instrumentation. The Orchestra plays numerous chapel programs during the year, and a formal spring concert. The instrumentation is as follows: First Violins— Corinne Hamill Mrs. L. A.

String Quartette Texas College of Arts and Industries is proud of the fact that it can boast of an organization that plays what many people state is the highest form of instrumental work—chamber music. The College String Quar- tette was organized in the fall of 1927, and it has been directed by Miss Hamill, instructor in violin, during this time. In addition to numerous chapel appearances and playing for various civic groups of Kingsville, the Quartette has played out-of-town programs. The personnel of the String Quartette is as follows, (from left to right): Oorinne Hamill, first violin; Paul Forgy, second violin; Mrs. Clyde Reed, Cello; Mrs. Leon Fritts, Viola. Christmas Ces per Chorus An annual custom of the Music Department is the Christmas Vesper Service� given on the last Sunday afternoon before the close of school for the holidays. The entire department combines its efforts in this presen- tation of Christmas music for the College students� faculty, and towns- people of Kingsville, and the audience that attended this year's service more than filled the auditorium. The program this year was given by the Girls Glee Club, String Quar- tette, Orchestra, and a chorus made up of members of the Girls' and Men's Glee Clubs. This chorus sang several numbers from Gaul's Oratorio, “The Holy City, and had the assistance of Mrs. J. R. Manning, soprano; Mrs. Clyde Reed, contralto; Mr. Carl Henny, and Rev. E. A. Osborne. Miss Pecaut, head of the Speech Arts Department, read. The directors were Miss Hamill of chorus, and Miss Wood of Orchestra. Reading from left to right, the members of the chorus are: Front Row—Henny, Forgy, Wood, Nuchols, Brooks, Gray, Smith, Jones, Mrs. Manning, Mrs. Reed, Barber, Oxford, Colston.

This trip is generally made early in the Spring Term, the club going to the Valley this year, where concerts were sung in Edinburg, Mission, Mercedes, Weslaco, San Benito, Rio Hondo and Raymond ville.

SENIORS RECEIVE CONGRATULATIONS AND BID ALMA MATER FAREWELL PUBLICATIONS El ‘Rancho Marjorie Martin, Editor-in-Chief The staff of El Rancho 1930 has learned, after endless experiments, observations, and mistakes, that a workshop must be pervaded with an invigorating atmosphere of mental life. We have also observed that those who work systematically day after day, will grow more thoughtful, more courageous and more tolerant. With something of the feeling of those who have grown older, and more capable of a wise and just living, we desire to express an appreciation for the loyal support of the student body and the constructive co-operation of the faculty.

With journalistic standards in view, the South Texan staff seeks to make each issue a more creditable one; to expand and grow with the Col- lege, and to serve the student body, by which it is published, by keeping before them the trend of our local interests, as well as those of the whole southern part of the State, the activities of the College, and the high as- pirations and ambitions of its leaders and directors, and the progress of the school.

Kleberg History Club has been one of most satisfactory attainment The membership has gratifyingly in- creased in numbers and improved in skill of performance. Programs have been stimulating and varied. Contributors have dealt with facts as well as with lore, and they have covered subjects in the local field, as well as those dealing with the history and traditions of Europe. Mrs. May Dickens told in very vivid language of her experience in the English University of Cambridge, and of her travels on the Continent. But local pioneer history has been the central theme. The chapel program was a re-incarnation of the Texas cowbov. The fifth annual banquet was held at Casa Ricardo, April 21, a day designated in 1926 by College authorities as History Club Day, The pro- gram was impressive and in keeping with the day; the decorations were very unique. The historical museum has continued to receive valuable donations of rare old books and cherished antiques. A show case in the corridor dis- plays these for the benefit of members and passers by. The officers of the Club have, through their energy and persistence, maintained the interest of members in the work of the club. This year’s pilgrimage was made February 23, to Mier, beyond the Rio Grande. Plans are being made to sponsor an Old Time Fiddlers’ Contest during the Annual Stock Show of Kleberg County next year.

Cousins English Club selected as its theme for 1929-30 Texas writers and their productions. Early in the year the club chose as its song for the term ‘Texas Land,” by Mrs. Caroline Swan, of Normanna, Texas, The first program presented in a pageant several outstanding writers. Then followed many interesting programs, consisting of book reviews, short stories, readings, and criti- cisms. The pleasures of these meetings were always increased by some musical number. Through the efforts of the Club, Miss Abbie Graham, author of “Pomp and Glory,was secured for a chapel program. The unique and clever presentation of her philosophy of life inspired many to read her book. After Christmas, Dr. and Mrs. Cousins invited the Club to make their home its permanent meeting place. This kind hospitality furnished many pleasant evenings for the members of the Club. During February the Club attended, at Corpus Christi, a very inspira- tional lecture by the noted Shakespearean actor and lecturer, E. H. Sothern. Hutto, Adams, Barber, Bermingham, Bohner.

Unusual interest has been manifested by the number who applied for membership and by the large audiences that have attended the performances of the Club. The work this year has been most interesting and worthwhile. Our study has consisted of the development of the drama, and various topics on the recent phases of the modern drama. Members of the Club have been given the opportunity to study at first hand the staging, acting, and direction of plays, and to become familiar with the technique of the stage. We feel that the year’s work of the Footlight Club has been profitable and satisfactory. Aside from the regular bi-monthly Monday evening meet- ings, the club has been active in promoting various activities of dramatic interest, notably the one-act play contest for the high schools of South Texas. The ability of new members was revealed and the progress of old ones was noticeable in the presentation of “Spuds” and “Give and Take,” as well as in the one-act plays.

Agriculture Club is made up of young men who are preparing to enter the various fields of agriculture. These men are brought together once every two weeks to meet each other and to discuss problems that are of interest to the group. Men who are successful in the various agriculture enterprises give the Club the benefit of their experi- ences in solving agriculture problems of the day. In general, the Agricul- ture Club promotes the social life and the general welfare of the students in the School of Agriculture. The “Aggie Club” co-operated in putting over the First Annual Farm- ers Short Course, bringing to Texas A. I. a large group of Agriculture men to discuss current day problems with the farmers of this section. The “Aggie Dance” was one of the largest dances of the year; farmers’ cos- tumes were in vogue for both boys and girls, and decorations were of such nature as to carry out the farmer's effect. The School of Agriculture is one of the strongest divisions of the Col- lege of Arts and Industries, and is growing rapidly. It is destined to become one of the larger schools in Texas for training men in all phases of agriculture. Weiss, Allen, Arthur.

S U The Baptist Student Union is a correlation of the religious activities of the College students who are Baptists, The officers of each unit of this federation compose the B. S. U. Council Each officer of the R. S. U, Council in turn heads a committee made up of representatives of all the units, each committee having a definite responsibility common to every organization. The nature of the programs for our council meetings is determined by the needs of the students, and may be best expressed in terms of Christian character, Christian education, and Christian service. The spirit of co-operation and loyalty is enhanced by the delightful social features of the year. The most outstanding are the “Welcome to Our Campus” party; the occasion on which the college young men proved worthy hosts and efficient “dish washers;” the Valentine party, sponsored by the B. Y. P. U.; the hobo picnic at Caesar Creek, and the annual ban- quet on March 27, at which time we reviewed our efforts and enjoyed the social climax of our college year. “An education which does not also stimulate our appreciations is trag- ically one-sided.

However, this has not been done in vain, for there are a few who are to be awarded sweaters, and a few who are to get letters. The new members were fully rewarded when they had to take an oath to wear a “T” on their backs two days and go to a basket ball game on February 12,1930, thoroughly perfumed with the tantalizing essence of garlic.

Bailey, Barber, Inez Barkley, Velma Barkley, Carter, Darrah, Erard, Fromme, Howard ATHLETICS Directors of Athletics Coach McCallum came to Kingsville to give Texas College of Arts and Industries her first football coach and head of all ath- letics. He came to us from the Junior Col- lege of Wichita Falls; he previously coached in the high school of the same city. In both positions he was well praised as a leader, and it was his work there that attracted the of- ficials of this institution. A. Y. McCallum’s laurels in football were won on the fields of Texas University, where he was a star end. He was picked an AIL Southwestern end by the coaches and sport writers connected with the conference. Under the leadership of “Bud,” the Jave- linas tied the Schreiner Mountaineers for the first time, and we find ourselves in the spirit of the unvoiced hope that Texas A. I. may become rich in physical equipment, en- dowment, and conquest. When the school opened there was an ov- erflow of young men with the desire to be- come members of the school’s athletics. Since this is an important department of the Col- lege, their demand could not be denied. “Cal” Jewett was the solution to the prob- lem. He came from St. Edward’s University of Austin, where he gained the distinction of being one of the best guards in the col- leges of the United States. (Spaulding Guide Book of Football). He established himself a reputation on the athletic fields of his col- lege that marked him as a future coach. “Cal” came to assist Coach McCallum in coaching football, but after the season, he was needed so much he was invited to be- come a member of the faculty. C. E, Jewett A. Y. McCallum Athletics 1929-1980 After five years of athletics, where anything but a championship was concerned, the Javelinas were recognized as members of the Texas Inter- collegiate Association. The progress of athletics is not alone due to the caliber of teams that the school has developed, but to the leaders of the teams, who have done much. The recent organization of the Athletic Council has been the main cog in the recent advancement. Football has been played under the Blue and Gold for the last five years without a championship involved. The teams only strived to win the most contests. The players did not get the publicity due them. Next year, the sixth in football, will be the opening of A. L football in the TIAA Conference. Basketball and Track will open their second year in the TIAA next sea- son; they were allowed to enter when the school was admitted to the Con- ference in January. Baseball will be denied a chance for a championship because the Con- ference does not offer one. Many of the schools have teams, but only for the sport derived from the game by the boys. Baseball is losing grip on the colleges, and it probably will not be long until it will be dropped from the collegiate ranks. The year 1930 marks one of the real first steps in athletics. Capturing pennants will be the future slogan. FOOTBALL Football Review Season 1929 A victory over the Edin- burg Broncos marked the close of I lie first football season in the College of Arts and Industries. It was a colorful close. The game was the last of a very dra- matic season; the out- come of this game mak- ing the season almost a fiction. The season de- veloped a team that will call for much attention from T. I, A. A. fans of 1930; it developed a few star players. It was an experiment, and we know that no experiment is en- tirely unsuccessful. The team played the hardest schedule in the ALLEN CENTER CABANESS GUARD history of the Javelinas, Two games were against T. I. A A. teams; one was against the strong Schrein- er Mountaineers: one was against the Southwestern University, which is a strong eleven in the Tex- as Conference. The Edin- burg Broncos were as hard to heat as in any oth- er year. The St. Mary's Rattlers were too experi- enced; too many tried players were on their team. The only teams that the Javelinas were “doped to win over were Seguin Junior College and Brownsville Junior Col- lege. The team played eight games during the season and won three, but the sensational tie with the Schriener Institute was worth the season's efforts. This team had defeated the Javelinas in each of the four games in which the two teams met previ- ous to this encounter. Ghe St. CDary’s Game 0-34 When the Rattlers came to A. I. with their ex- perienced fangs, Otho As- key, Blackburn, ancl Hen- ry Smith, they brought men who had already made their reputation on the football fields, and to whom a victory over the Javelinas did not mean anything except that they had played another game. As for the Hogs, it hurt I heir spirit; they were too young and had not learn- ed to take such beatings. The Snakes passed and plunge cl their way to touchdown after tout- li- do wn. The Javelinas, in- stead of playing a defense game, put everything they had into the fight. Until the last minute Lotspeich, An Id, Ma Smith, ancl Cabaniss, along with oth- er Javelina stars, were t h r o wing their football souls into the game. This was a long hopeless strug- gle for the Javelinas; it lasted so long that head lights were seen flashing across the field before the final whistle blew. Ghe ‘Brownsville Junior College Game 14-7 A Javelina set-up was almost turned into a deleat for the Hogs when the Brownsville college un- lashed an aerial attack which was never stopped until the game was over. The Valley S c o r p ions started their drive from their 25-yard line and passed to the Javelinas’ 17-y a r d line; here the Hogs were penalised 15 yards. A Scorpion hack hit the line for the touch down, and Pipkin passed to Ball for (he extra point. Had it not been for (lie vicious drives of Reed and White, the Hogs might have lost to a weak team after holding the Schrein- er team to a mutual score only a week before. About the only explanation of the victory is that Pip- kins passes were too short, and it took too m u c h time to make a drive. M Ghe Southwestern Game 0-26 For the first time the Javelinas engaged the Southwestern Pirates o f Georgetown in a game of football, and true to pre- dictions, the Hogs suffer- ed a defeat, but they were a much better ball club than the predicters calcu- lated. Although (he Pi- rates started off and made a touchdown without los- ing the ball, the Javelinas came back to scatter the remaining scores over the four periods. The Jave- linas were scored on be- fore they discovered the cause, and before the cause was remedied, t h a game was lost. It was in this game that G risso ni was converted into a back- field man; he formerly was an end, but the holes that were made, due to his vicious drives, were loo convincing for the coach, Lee was another star of the Javelinas. Brannen was the offensive star for the winners. This game was made possible by the number of gradu- ates of Southwestern who now live in Kingsville. MORRIS TACKLE Ghe Schreiner Game 7-7 It was the game o f games, especially for the Javelinas and their follow era; it was the first time that the Javelinas came out of a game against the Mountaineers without be- ing losers. It was a ease of going into a game de- termined not to be whip- ped, and then coming out “not w h i p p e d,’’ Thirty seconds was the only rea son why the Hogs failed to win the game, that is, if elements of the game b e considered, because with only that number of seconds left to play before lbe first half was over. “Jelly'’ Dabbs d r o p ped back to pass the oval but due to the fact that n � receiver was in sight, and at the same time the Jav- elinas failed to rush the diminutive quarter, h e merely ran around left end to score their lone touchdown. He also made the extra point which tied the score. It was tha’ Malay boy who blocked a punt, and then the Javeli- nas became possessors of the b a 1 1 on the Cadets' 25-yard line. Jesse Smith and Earl White carried the hall to within 2 yards of the goal. White car- ried the hall over. Ma” Smith polished the score with the extra point. The game not only furnished the climax for the season, but was the climax for the history of the Javelinas. Ghe Sam Houston Game 0-19 Holding the strong Bear kats to such low score meant almost as much as a victory to the wild Hogs, especially since the trip was made without some of the Javelina stars. Lots- peich, although crippled, was compelled to play the major part of the conflict, because our diminutive quarterback. Jesse Smith, was left at home to nurse some injuries. The game was played on a muddy field, which made it im- possible for the team to do their best. The Kats scored their first touch- clown in the first period. It was straight football, but as the game became older Dashing Demon” Coe became better, a n d In the second quarter lie was doing practically all of the offense. The Hogs opened up an offense sev- eral times throughout the contest that almost scor- ed, hut each time their chances were nipped be fore the project was com- pleted. Earl White was the star in these Javelina threats. This was the second time that the two schools met on a football field, and Sam Houston won both. The scores: 2-0; 19-0. Ghe San CDarcos Game 0-32 — S()3 - The loss of the game to the Bobcats was not a surprise; It was expected. The Javelinas were not in any shape to take on a team which later won the T. I. A. A. championship in football. Too many of our players were crippled, but at that the Bobcats did not overrun the Hogs, WILLIAMS OUARD HIBLER TACKLE Every marker was made by a pass. The Bobcats completed three passes for touchdown, and the J a Ve- lina passer t h r ew t w o passes to opposing players who ran back through the Javelinas for touchdowns, which accounts for all of the score. “If” the Jave linas1 defense for passes had been a bit more effi- cient, and “if” our backs had failed to pass, then the Bobcats would have failed to score. It was the third time the two teams met, and the Bobcats broke the tie in games won. The scores: 2-13; 4 0; 0-32. trhe Seguin Game 4P The Javelinas took a rest the day that the Se- gnia Bulldogs invaded our football field, but they did not pile up the score that they intended, on account of the stubborn defense that the lighter team had to offer. Immediately af- ter the Javelinas scored the first touchdown, the Bulldogs came back to score a touchdown. This score came during their real threat, which resem- bled nothing short of a menace, Tlieir s e c o n d march ended within sev- eral yards of the goal, and with the aid of Harbin, the Hogs never gave the J u n i o r College another chance. Four touchdowns, each followed by an extra point, were all that the Javelinas could o b t a i n from the visitors. The op- position was game, and fought till the last. They were the conquerors of the strong Blimni Memori- al College eleven. 'Ghe Edinburg Game 20-12 The Javelinas came out on top with two victories against one defeat in the three years that the two schools played football. This game was the closing chapter of the 192!� sea- son, The Edinburg Bron- cos started the game off with a “bang” when Me Cauley passed to Garret for a touchdown; the play netted the Valley 25 yards. At the end of the firs quarter, the Broncos were leading with a one-touch- down margin. The Hogs came back strong in the second quarter with suc- cessful line plays that placed the ball on tlie eu- e m i e s’ 27-y a r d 1 i n e. “Satchel” Heed cut back through tackle for the to- tal distance and a touch down to knot the count in the first half. The Jave- linas made their greatest impression in the third quarter when they scored two touchdowns; White and Harbin were the exe enters. Lotspiech m a d e both tries for the extra points. Harbin, White, A u 1 d Heed, Lotspiech, Lee and Allen were the outstanding players of the Jave linas. Football Season 1929 RESULTS Javelinas 0 vs. St. Mary's 34 Javelinas 0 vs. Sam.

Then the Daniel Raker boys, T. I. A. A. champs, carried off two victories on the local court. The Baker team w o n b o t h games by decisive scores, which indicated that the Hoes wore a bit loo young for the fast company that they were in. The scores: ROBINSON CENTER 47-23 and 35-22, respective, ly. Winning two of the three games from Sul Ross on the first road trip brought the Hogs up the ladder, Sul Ross won the first game in two extra periods. The Javelinas won the two remaining games with Captain Elmore, Allen and Milligan furnishing the fireworks. The second road trip put the Hogs back on the bottom of the ladder when San Marcos won a two- game series. The Bobcats put up a defense that was impenetrable for .the Hogs, Elmore’s long shots were the bright lights of both games. The Hogs ended their trip in Kerrville with two more defeats. The Cadets were in top form, while the Hogs had not re- covered from the setback in San Marcos. Chote and Snyder were too much for our Javelinas. These two men made 40 points the first night. The .lavelinas returned home to play their last tour games. They turned over the (lope bucket and defeated the Mountaineers in both games by a close score. Rankin Robertson, a f o u r year basketball mail, was the only reason why the Javelinas won. He scored seven points before the game was five minutes old, and Allen did not allow the Ohote- Snyder combination to score a field goal till eight minutes of the game faded a w a y. Milligan's five points in the second peri- od of overtime play was the winning factor of the second game. And then came the Lum- ber jackets. They set us in the cellar for good. The Javelinas could not stand the gait set by the All-T. I. A. A. Donnell, who rang up tallies from any spot on the court. The boys from Nacogdoches had the height on our men, and their shooting was farther advanced than ours, b u t being outclassed as the Hogs were, they continued to peck away at the bas- ket until the final whistle blew.

The team of 1929 collected a group of men that would be eligible for another year's competi tion on the diamond. What the team did, made it more possible to have a better team in 1930, The Javelinas did not engage any other colleges besides the Edinburg Jun- ior College, which won three of the four games played. The team had to be conservative; t h e y could not make any long road trips; they could not invite other colleges here, so they had to play against the best high school teams in the neighborhood, semi- professional teams and in- dependent teams. It was the first year that most of the players e v e r worked together, and the season was too short to develop a sensational team. The games were played at the Missouri Pa- cific Park, but the prac- tice games were played on a temporarily constructed diamond. Talfurrias Series 12-11; 9-8 Before t !i e Javelinas w ere w a r m e d up and rounded into shape, the Falfurrias Jerseys jour- neyed for our first game. It was their fifth. Our batters w ere hitting the ball at an extraordinary pace, hut the pitchers, El- more and Filla, had not developed their arms into correct condition. The game was a see-saw affair until the last inning. With “Satchel Iteed and Weis man on bases, Al Pingree, who pinch-hit for Glass, came through with a mon- ey knock that decided the winner. The second game was played a week later, and neither team improved much on the defense, with the exception of the Jer- sey second baseman, Ben- e vidas. The same two pitchers worked for the Javelinas, who were in the lend throughout the con- test, but w re closely pressed. Aulrl made three base lets which gave him the hitting honors of both clubs, Ghe ‘Bishop Game 2-0 The Javelinas made it three straight when Big Frank Elmore handed the independent team from Bishop a “goose egg. Each team connected for five safeties, but the Jave- linas were clear of a bob- ble while the visitors com- mitted several mis cues, Frank McGill and Ocy Sain were the Hogs’ de- fensive stars, and Walter Reed did equally well on the offense. Ohe Edinburg Series tthere) 1-4; 0-2 The flogs met t li e i r Waterloo when the bron- co ing Broncos let t h e m down with seven hits and one run. Filla drew the assignment for the Jave- linas on the mound, and Garret opposed him for the Broncos, Although the Javelinas out hit the home club by one hit, the Wild Horses were more dangerous on the paths. Jaroe accounted! for the total amount of runs for his cli.il). He knocked in two and scored two. For the Javelinas, Frank El- more was the star; he caught a number of impos- sible ones to the average player, and threw out three men at the plate. The Javelinas scored their lone run in tlie first in- ning when Pingree s i n- gled, stole second, and came home on WeismaiTs single after being sacrific- ed to third by Sain. The second game was just short of an embar- rassment for the Hogs, and Swazee, who came within one hit of the hall of fame, held the Hogs to one hit—a scratch bingle by Hugh Glass. Frank El- more held the Valley Col- legians to five hits and two runs, but the Bronco pitcher had the best of the situation. Jaroe again broke up a ball game with a screaming two-bagger, with J timers on on base, and later scored from third on a sacrifice by Ohappa. Only twenty-nine men faced the Valley southpaw, but of that num- ber seventeen hit the ball viciously into the outfield. MAXWELL ’CATCHESi M9GI' TH1R NEDBALEji 5HORT5TO i Ehe Edinburg Series (here) Tlie Valley college team made it three straight when they scored one run in the first inning and two in the second. All three runs were unearned. The Hogs failed to score until the eighth inning, when A1 Pingree scored Weis- niari and McGill with a two bagger into deep right field. A1 was left on sec- ond base when Morris lift- ed Garret's fast ball into left field for the third out. After losing three games in succession, the Hogs came back to win the last game of the series behind Frank Elmore's pitching and the hitting of Weis man, Pingree and Filla. Chap pa’s two-bagger with two men on bases gave the Broncos two runs in the first inning. The Hogs set themselves for re venge in the third inning. With two out and McGill and Weisman on bases, Filla connected with one that was good enough for him to touch all bases and put the Hogs ahead of the visitors. With a safe lead Elmore eased up in the ninth inning, and the Broncos scored three runs, but were short of a tie by three runs. Hugh Glass's playing at first base brought the grandstand crowd to their feet time after time. The big fresh- man was “right” that day. Auld led both clubs In hit- ting; he connected with three pitches that were safe hits. Uhe Corpus Christi Series 9-5; 1-4 The semi-pro club of Corpus Christi split a two- game series with the Jav- elinas; both games were played in the Coast City. The Hogs were the win- ners in the first game, which was not decided un til thirteen innings were played. Mi lander Aukl was injured during the game and was replaced behind the plate by Ocy Sain, who did the catch- ing the remaining part of the season. The Javelinas started the game by scor- ing a run in the first in- ning. Pingree beat out a bunt; he scored on Reed's sacrifice to centerfield. Gore was the hitting star of both teams; he receiv- ed four of the seven hits collected by the Bathers. The feature of the contest was the intentional strike- out made by A1 Pingree in the first of the “unlucky” inning. The sun had al- ready disappeared below the tree tops, and in order that the Bathers could re- ceive their “bats” Al struck out on three bad balls. That made the third out, and it was light enough that Corpus could bat. Che Corpus Christi Series (Continued) With a rainy week pre- ceding the last game of the season, the Hogs were unprepared to meet the Bathers in the last game, and lost, 1-4. The Jave- linas fielded poorly, and especially Glass, who had starred in the previous games. The hitting at- tack was also short of the standards that the Hogs attained. Ocy Sain’s throwing to second base was the chief attraction; he threw out four men be- fore the game was five in- nings old. Coach Smith started Filla, who had conquered the Bathers in the overtime game, but de- spite the fact that the bathers only collected three hits, the Javelinas lost. The game lacked the fight and spirit that was so predominant i n other games. This game finished the last season for the last team under the colors of S. T. S. T.

L found on- ly one latter man return- ing from the last team to represent the College—the team of 1928, However� u good number of promis- ing Freshmen and Sopho- mores are out for the team, and should develop into outstanding men in a few seasons. In the dashes� Walter Manning, Captain Ralph Shelton, and Harbin are the best performers, and make the century race consistently in 10 seconds. In the 440 yard event Cap tain Shelton, Walter Man- ning and Bill Morris have the best records, Pierson has shown exceptional ability in the longer races. and is expected to place in the Conference meet, Menefee is a great high jumper, having cleared six feet several times this yea r. Gordon Cabaniss and Guy Grissom are pro- gressing nicely in the pole vault and javelin, Law- rence Smith is heaving the discus around 130 feet and putting the shot better than 40 feet. Some of the men men- tioned above are not eli- gible for the conference meet, but will be eligible for the 1931 team, which promises to be a great cue. Meets have been scarce this year as a consequence of the cut in appropria- tions, but nevertheless. Texas A. I. will be rep- resented in the Texas Re- lays at Austin and in the Conference meet at Den- ten. Cennis Tennis is a sport that can lie enjoyed and par- ticipated in by more indi- viduals than any other game except golf. The benefits to he derived from the game are all wholesome, and the haz- ards of playing are nil. No sport requires greater physical fitness or mental alertness. Always a sport, neve r a disagreeable grind: an invaluable asset a n y w h ere to a n yone throughout life. A gentle- man's game, a I a d i e s‘ game, a social leve r, a health preserver, a won- derful sport. Learn it; love it! There are several expert players in our college, and we have made an excel- lent showing in our inter- collegiate matches. Give us a battery of all-weather courts, and we have an open air gy m nasi u m where the whole student hotly may enjoy invigorat Ing recreation all the year round. Girls’ ‘Physical Education ‘Department The Depart in e 11 t or Physical Education for girls has done quite a hit tile past few years to pro- mote exercise and sports as a means to belt o r health. The interests ol the department have in- cluded tennis, basketball, volley ball, folk dancing. clogging, gymnastics and various other games. With the completion of the new gymnasium now in view this department promises much more in the near fu- ture. The organization a n d functioning of the Wo- men's Athletic Association is considered within the realm of this department. And it is through the de- partment that the various dances of other nations have been given on dif- ferent occasions through out the year. JAVELINA TUSK Th.e fibmkj Album. TW pYofoy . TKe.

And every- body just laughed and laughed because they knew anything headed by Roland Milligan would be a total loss! OMEGA TAU OMEGA The Omega Tau Omegas, affectionately known as the “Pajama Chib,” was organized this year in a fit of desperation. Their prize catch was Wilma Herring, who gives the outfit practically all the little prestige it enjoys. We would be glad to expound further concerning the organization, only none of the members are well enough known that anything can be done about it. ALPHA SIGMAS The oldest (and practically defunct) social organization of the College is, or are, the Alpha Sigmas, a bunch of self-idolizers who meet under the sign of the High Hat. The club is distinguished by the gold-digging pro- clivities of Brooks, the cuteness (?) of Webster, the self-importance of Nuckols, the dumbness of Carter, and the combined efforts of all the pledges which to date haven’t gotten any of them anywhere. The club is thinking of charging twenty-five cents (or student activity tickets will admit) to their battle royals or meetings, where more feelings have been trampled on per square inch than Shelton doesn’t have dates. DELTA THETAS The Delta Thetas had a tough fight to get a few pledges this year but finally copped one or two pretty good ones by dint of pledging them before anyone else could get to them. However, these immediately withdrew from school as soon as they discovered what they belonged to. The gang has thrown a bunch of dances (the best thing about which was the other girls the boys brought), parties and what-have-yous, in an effort to at- tract attention but at the last reading, Collins was the only one who man- aged for any dates to speak of. Honea, of course, is always a shining ex- ception to this rule, being Miss America, but she could scarcely be said to by anything but an onery member, as she only speaks to about three ol her sisters.

Scene: There, heavily decorated in red and green, symbolizing 50c or 25c and activity tickets. Time: Then, something over an hour and a half late. The court was pried open by the heralds blowing a loud blast on the orchestra's trumpets and His Majesty was brought in on a wheelbarrow, heavily guarded to protect him from the mob. The guards were dressed in fetching gray suits circled with black stripes, and each dealt His Majesty a resounding blow with flashing paddles. The announcer now began to broadcast titles, weather reports and mar- ket information, being drowned out by the noise of the piano which began playing at that moment. Queer combinations (caused by the fact that several “dukes stepped out” at the last minute) made their appearance in an absent-minded manner and, after some uncertainty, stumbled up to the throne. The royal homestead now began wandering in, and in the midst of the confusion, the queen was shoved on by two stalwart lads. The spot- lights falling on her disclosed a run in her left stocking and two brilliants missing from her amber-hued purple crown, which wras heavily encrusted with bottle-tops. She was hastily escorted to the throne where she was completely overlooked by the king, who, with great presence of mind re- mained seated with his legs crossed. After a couple of lights had been broken, a speech made, all chewing gum deposited on the throne, and the jesters boxed for such splendid im- personations, the procession limped off, removing their decorations as they went.

Some said it was wrapped in College colors. Others said the bright lights were arched above it; all agreed that a soiree would be awaiting beneath. Alas, the poles are down! Today we arrive, tired, weak, eager-eyed, to receive our rewards. Yes, we are met by a committee—the reception one—who invites us to review the typographical sputters, misspelled names, The Javelina Tusk, which may make “wild, hunted things'’ of us. The faculty unkindly remind us of the red X s and E’s to be removed before finals. Our tempers, once serene, suffer a rise of temperature from El Rancho “Edititis.” El Rancho is out! We wish to thank all those who contributed to the success of the book. Particularly we should like to thank the faculty sponsors, who co-operated with us in every way; the Southwestern En- graving Company who planned our book and made the engravings; Westrup Studio of Corpus Christi, and Kington Studio of Kingsville, for photography; and the Kingsville Publishing Company, who did our printing. The staff extends to the editors of the future El Ranchos our painful congratulations, and may we say with Bill Murphree, “Some people are born.crazy, others are temporarily insane, and others edit a year book.” The Staff. 'TpHE succeeding pages contain the advertisements of our business friends. They are loyal to the Col- lege and have contributed freely to- ward making the 1930 El Rancho a success. Without their co-operation and good will the student yearbook of Texas A. I. would suffer severely. Through this medium they are com- bining their willingness to support student enterprises with good busi- ness judgment. They are entitled to your individual support.

They make every dollar perform its fullest duty. Others acquire the ability to save money and it becomes a habit with them. Buying inferior goods because they are cheap is not thrift. It is wasteful because the service is correspondingly short. The way to decide “where savings are greatest is first to look into the ability of the store to buy right; then the reputation of the store for selling right. The buying power of this store is tremendously increased because of the co operative buying for the stores of this Nation wide Organization. This advantage is your advan- tage each time you buy from us. And paying cash you enjoy an added saving. J.C.PENNEYCO.
