Cousins Rather than to call this a message, let us call it a heart to heart talk from an older friend to liis younger friends. One of its main purposes is to pronounce a bless- ing upon all those who have helped to make the Annual a thing of joy, which it has come to be, ancl to all those who are interested in us in any way. Let me congratulate you upon the choice which you have made to spend these four years in college and to contribute your share in putting in permanent form the life of the institution itself and something of each member of the faculty and the student body, which will serve as keys to open memory's doors and expose its treasures. The life ill college is rich iii varied memories, and I ain trusting that those that are delightful, stimulating, and helpful may give tone to all those memories that cluster around the college and its various factors, whatever they may he. Early friend- ships such as yours are usually among the most unselfish and sincere of all those which constitute a background for middle life and old age. It is a stern fact that character- istics which you have learned of each other make a very permanent and lasting impression. In more mature life commercial and selfish motives often control one's actions, but in the beautiful days of youth that which is most beautiful crowds in upon the young life. 1 feel sure that the tone of all the memories that blend about the college days when taken together will be a source of delight to those of you who read this simple message. The President and tlie Faculty have been anxious to give you lessons of truth in the various fields wherein we have come into contact. It has been a great pleasure to know you and to come into contact with those of you who will soon tell us goodbye for the sterner things of life. Yon have taught us many things which we shall make useful, we trust, in leading those who will come after von along the flowery pathways which you have trod during your life here in college. Hitherto your pirate ships have committed innocent marauding within safe harbors. We have undertaken to give you seamanship with which you may steer your boats safely in the big sea outside the bar. We have undertaken to teach you how to find the poie star and to be guided by its constant light. We hope that you may not be wrecked upon the reefs by the false light along the shore, but that you have learned to interpret meanings of the different flashings of the true light and can distinguish them from decoys. The President, the Faculty, and those who have cared for you heartily expect to hear good reports from your achievements. We are expecting that you will move straight from the harbor that you are leaving to the Golden Gate. Should you become weary from the struggles that you will encounter, remember that your Alma Mater is still your friend, believes in you, and will pray for you, even unto the end.

AGRICULTURAL FEATURES DEDICATED TO SOUTH TEXAS AGRICULTURE South Texas is primarily an agricultural section, and as such its future depends largely upon the development of its abundant agricultural resources. Its varied agricultural enterprises range from citrus fruits to beef cattle, beef farming representing one of the oldest of South Texas industries, and citrus farming one of the newest The potential agricultural possibilities of all of South Texas are enormous, and most of the enterprises are just in their infancy, only waiting to be brought to the front through the various stimuli that effect the agricultural industries. Since South Texas is peculiarly an agricultural section the main purpose of the School of Agriculture is to train agricultural leaders for the future development of South Texas. IA, I.

ACTIVITIES PUBLICATIONS 1931 El Rancho DOROTHY HOLLAND Editor Because everyone loves beauty, its striking effects, its colors, its shadings, we have endeavored to make a book of beauty of El Rancho 1931. Skilled work- men and artiste have fashioned the plans and designs; an earnest group of students and professors have tried to their utmost to build a book that will hold within it all the memories of happy schooldays — a book that will be representative of the cooperation and spirit ex- isting here — a book that will bring honor and success to our college as well as pleasure and joy to the readers.

The paper exists primarily to serve the stu- dent body. With high journalistic stand- ards in view, the South Texan staff has sought to print news of particular interest to the students, and to give proper empha- sis to all activities of the college. The pa- per seeks to grow with the institution, and, wherever possible, to have an active part in that growth. The year 1930-31 has been an eventful one for the South Texan. Past editors and managers have had aspirations and ambitions to convert the paper into a weekly publication, instead of a bi-weekly. These as- pirations and ambitions were realized last fall, when the present staff completed plans and made the necessary arrangements to publish the paper every week. This was indeed a big step forward. The South Texan has worked out successfully the weekly plan, and the staff has had a great year together. As a feature of the year’s work, the paper has been given over on sev- eral occasions to different interests in the institution. The School of Ag- riculture has sponsored two issues of the publication, one in the fall of the year and the other in the spring. The School of Engineering, the School of Business Administration, the Latin Department, and the Music Department have all had an issue of the South Texan devoted to their particular interests. The staff has welcomed this program and all have been mutually profited by the pleasant associations during the year. ROBERT MOORE Editor Appleby Aulil Baird Bermingham Boyd Conner Cudd Gregg Knud son Manning Page 138 The South Texan Serving on the staff this year are some of the outstanding students in college. The staff is composed of eleven members. Rob- ert Moore served during the year as editor, with Herschel Cudd as associate-editor. One of the features appearing in the paper each Week was Mil’s Musings, written by J. Mil Auld, sports editor. This column proved to be very popular with the students from the first issue of the year. Another feature that brought favorable comment from the students was Mitchell Baird’s “Blotto and the Expert” series. This column ap- peared frequently during the year. Other staff members were Virginia Knudson, Society Editor; Raymond Manning, Feature Writer; Emee Bermingham, Organizations Editor; Leise Galloway, Contributing Edi- tor; William Conner, Exchange Editor; Hubert Boyd, Reporter; and Mamie Clay Appleby, Reporter. The business end of the publication has been handled very efficiently by Emerson Korges, Business Manager. Lewis Gregg served through- out the year as Circulation Manager. It has been the purpose of the business staff to attend to all matters of business connected with the paper and to keep it on a sound financial basis.

The members of the Council have tried to make the organization representative and effective in bringing about these things and in establishing better College spirit and a more influential A. I. The Council hopes that, through its service, it has inspired the confi- dence, esteem, and appreciation of the students, faculty, and public. Our aim has been to help make the work in school pleasant and profit- able, to so develop the spirit of fellowship that when the students have completed their work here they will regard each other as comrades, and their college as an ever interested Alma Mater.

C. A. I. has an organized body, the Robert Bartow Cousins chapter of the Scholarship Societies of the South. This general organization was founded in 1922 by Dr. H. Y. Benedict of the University of Texas. The top or ranking tenth of the Junior and Senior classes is eligible for membership. 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.

It furnishes music for chapel programs, college plays, programs of the various clubs and organi- zations in town, and the Commencement services, in addition to a formal concert each spring. The concert is a musical event which all of those interested in music anticipate with great pleasure. This year, the formal concret will be given early in May. The or- chestra is fortunate in being able to present as its soloist this year. Rev. E. A. Osborne of the Christian Church of this city, who will sing an aria from Handel’s “Messiah,” accompanied by the full orchestra. The orchestra is working under the able direction of Miss Dosha Dowdy, of the music faculty.

Page 14.5 RAYMOND MANNING President The Footlight Club, an organization of students interested in dramatic art, gives distinct advantages in every phase of the drama. Staging, play directing, acting, and the general technique of the drama are all subjects of extensive study and practice by this group of students. Current plays, recent events of the theatrical world, and numerous other interesting and vital features directly related to the stage are studied. “An Evening of One-Act Plays ’ presented on December 19th. was an outstanding success, but it in no way diminished the success of the presentation of the three-act comedy, “You and I,” given in the early spring. The organization sponsored and directed the largest one-act play con- test for high schools ever held in this district. Miss Mildred Pecaut, head of the department of Dramatic Art, has formed the basic foundation for a great deal of the pleasure and ac- complishments of the club this year, through her capable and willing guidance of the members on all occasions.

In his absence this winter, the club has been working nicely under the joint direction of Miss Hamill and Miss Dowdy. The organization has made a num- ber of public appearances during the year. In addition to numerous chapel appearances, the club sang a short program before the South Texas Teachers convention at Laredo, broad- cast from Station KGFI, Corpus Christi, and sang in several nearby towns, in addition to a number of church appearances in Kingsville.

Kleberg History Club which is the oldest and largest of its kind in the college, has for its purpose the study of legends and traditions of Texas history, and the colection of material related par- ticularly to the history of South Texas. During the current year special study has been given to the daring adventures of pi- rates of this section, as well as to the life of George Washington, in preparation for the celebration of his 200th anniversary. AKNIELEE GILES Vice-President On March 8, 1931, the club members made a trip to Laredo where they had the rare privilege of observing and studying the army post, under the personal direction of its commander, Major Thomkons. The Cathedral in Nuevo Laredo was also an object of great interest to this group. One unusual undertaking this year, made possible by a dona- tion from Mr. Robert J. Kleberg, was that of offering a prize of one hundred dollars t othe artist who would paint the most representative picture of the Texas army, according to Noah Smith wick's description. The prize was presented at the annual banquet held on Club Day, April 21st, On this same occasion, Mrs. W. L. Stoner, a director of A. I., spoke to the club about “Landmarks,” Altogether, the club has enjoy- ed a very successful year and has promise of continuous growth, both in numbers and in enthusiasm. D. Holland E. O'Brien V.

However, special programs have included literature of current interest, literature connected with Armistice Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and other special seasons.

The club deserves full credit for having accomplished this aim. Sarah Ruth White was elected cheer leader at the beginning of the year by the vote of the student body and Bill Blair and Frances Chatham were appointed as assistants. The Pep Squad and the school owes them a debt of gratitude for their splendid co-operation. We hope that each member and each booster of the Pep Squad may be remembered for her hard work and interest, especially the sponsors, Mrs. Melba McCallum and Miss Virginia Campbell, who have both been of great assistance, and offered suggestions and help whenever they were called upon. Much appreciation should also be given our Yell Leaders, as they were continuously on the alert, Helping and coaxing the girls at every move. Upper Row: Dorrah. Gray, Jenkins, Jones, Kidd, King.

Its member- ship is limited to those who participate in school activities and quality in scholarship, leadership and personality.

Not the least val- uable function of the organization is its function of instilling the rules of proper procedure in meetings of all kinds and of developing poise, that indispensable asset of any professional man or woman who would enjoy success.

I., after feeling the need of an organization for over a year, met on the 25th day of September, 1930, and banded themselves into a unit which they called the Texas A. I. Engineers. Although the group chose to meet once each month in regular session, interest ran so high that called meetings were necees- sary every week or two. The object of the organization, as expressed throughout the year, is two-fold: First, to stimulate and encourage advancement and co-op- eration in the engineering profession by providing not only the tech- nical needs of the student, but also the direct individual advancement through participation in the activities of the society; Second, to make the School of Engineering the strongest division of the Texas College of Arts and Industries, Kingsville. Every man profits in the activities of the group because he realizes that collective effort is the most ef- fective method of achieving a goal. Upper Row: Adair, Adarni, Ballard.

These men are brought together every two weeks to meet each other and to discuss agricultural problems that are of interest to the group. Successful agriculturalists from various agricultural sections give the club the benefit of their experiences and, by this and various other devices, the club promotes the social life and general welfare of the students of agriculture. The Aggie Club has co-operated in putting over the Annual Farmers’ Short Courst, bringing to Texas A. T. agricultural leaders from several states to discuss current day problems with the farmers of this section. It is estimated that two thousand farmers and future farmers heard this series of lectures during the Second Annual Farmers’ Short Course, held at the College from Novem- ber 5th to 8th, 1930. The Aggie Livestock Judging Team, which won several places at the State Stock Show last April, was promoted and supported by this organization. The Aggie dance, which is held twice a year, brings together both boys and girls in farmer costumes for a general good time. These dances have been the largest and most suc- cessful of the college dances. The Aggie Club has pledged itself to work unceasingly for the ag- ricultural development of all South Texas, and the leaders who are to undertake this development will be furnished from this club.

Council Each officer of the B. S. U. Council, in turn, heads a committee made up of representatives of all the units, each committee having a definite responsi- bility common to every organization, The nature of the programs for our council meetings is determined by the needs of the students and may be expressed in terms of Chris- tian 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, given by the church early in the fall so that everyone may become acquainted; the Valentine Party, sponsored by the B. S. U,; the hobo picnic at South Creek; and the annual banquet on March 31st, at which time we reviewed our efforts and enjoyed the social climax of our college year.

I. spoke the ship of the “Great Outside,” while she rode the waves of pleasure upon the sea of learning. “Ship Ahoy!” the pirate captain cried, “Heave Anchor! Board and drink to the health of the New Pep Squad, the treasure of the first dance of the season unearthed.” “They tell me. Pirate Captain, that you've sent your ruler, bold and brave, the Dr. R. B. Cousins, and his queen, to discover the treasures of the far off shores of Europe.” “And did you speak the ship “Dora K. Cousins” of the harbor of the English Club? They had just returned from the Isle of Rainbow Banquet with the spirit of “Renewed Inspiration,” a beautiful captive.” “No, but the mate reported the landing of the students of A. I. by special train in the City of Houston.” The Mate of the brig “El Rancho” signaled that a group of lovely girls of the Home Campus were captured, and gave a Manless Dance as ran- som.” Of a sudden—the Pirate Captain roared and slashed at the ship’s rigging with his sword. “Ransom! Ransom! By the spirits of the Te-Jac. I forfeited five cuts from Spanish class to rescue my cook from the mob of the “Education Class Carnival” anchored off Ricardo, in Hallowe’en Bay. The splash of oars and the song of his “Mid-Shipmite,” and the Captain of the “Great Outside” returned to his ship. The A. I. sailed on the coast of “An Evening of Opera” where her crew carried off “Madame Butterfly.” And they took her to the Dairy Show through the opening of the Short Course. On through the “rush” of the Delta Theta Week and the fall of the Schreiner Mountaineers, through the pages of the Gala Fashion Pageant, to the strains of “Pinafore” chanted by the wan waves of the Music Department. Then the hearty Pirate Captain tired of her, and selected Alice Langlois, Mary Hutchinson, L’Aleen Jones, Virginia Campbell and Alice Smith as Delegates, to the W. A. A. Meet on the tropical Isle of Belton. The Ship of A. L, laden with the treasures of Golden Times and the Spoils of Victory over the Lion Crew of the East Texas Teachers straightway, entered the sheltered cove of Kingsville, which had been her port for six years. To be greeted by their King, President Cousins, who received the treas- ure of their cruise and added it to the visual store of memories which he had brought back from the Land of Europe. And there was held in the cave of the Aggies a dance of fun and frolic to amuse the Pirate Crew for their brief stay on land. Lo! there was chosen a group of the four most beautiful maidens of the Home Campus namely: Nellie Bly White. Sue Cross, Lucille Perkins, Julia Presnall, from which the Pirate Captain was to choose his queen, if he should bring back rare treasure from his siege of the sea of Knowledge and Gaiety. In preparation for which siege the Inhabitants of the Home Campus at- tended the Vesper Service to seek from the spirit of Music good luck and cheer for the roving crew of the ship. Now fate so caused it that the Ship of A. I. and the Ship of the “Great Outside” spoke each other again; Page 171 December 18. December 20. January 31. January 24 February 7. February 14.

I. sought and gained entrance into the Eastern half of the passage of the harbor of T. I. A. A., By her Freshmen helmsmen winning over the shoals of “Upperclassmen Competition” in the coral reeves of “College Gridiron Championship for which the captain brave gave them as a merited reward a “Kid Party.” To which he invited the 12 new members of the “T” Association. However, this affair was brought to a sudden close by the attack of the “Faculty” on the High Sea of Study with strong final exams, which struck terror to the hearts of this pirate crew. But the captain of the “Great Outside” came to their rescue and sent many of the offenders, especially the Javelina basketball team, off on a road trip, taking the “Faculty” ship as plunder, all of which aroused a great deal of debate causing a club to be organized. The mighty Pirate Captain called about him the “Letter Wielders” of the pigskin and said: “To you I shall give the spoils of the fight, a sweater of blue and gold.” “To the crew of the “Great Outside” we shall give a treasure tree to be planted by the “Senior Crew.” “Signal the Captain of the “Great Outside to come aboard, the Engineers are staging a dance tonight. ’ “Now, Mate, arrange for the A. I. Aggie Judging team winners at Fort Worth to be present at the Alpha Sigma Dance. “And instruct them to declare the “Womanless Wedding” a success, un- der penalty of walking the plank. “Heave to for the boarding of the Captain of the “Great Outside!” “Ha, Captain, what news from the shore?” “The Cannibals of the Oases of Press Club devoured Foolish Questions, and a talk by Mr. Erard, Scribe of the El Rancho, at a Buffet Supper, and danced backward around the Delta Thetas.” “So,” the Captain of the A. I, cried, “What is the News?” “We spoke the Scholarship and were told that the Homecoming of the Society was one rich in treasure.” “Too, I've heard that the Home Campus held the Music Meet for ransom.” “But Captain, let me tell you, the “Patsy” played by the Senior Crew of the A. I. has been given favorable winds of publicity and will put into port for the “Sophomore Costume Prom.” To be followed by the Athletic Meet, which will be another victory for the Home Campus.” “Aha, then, the Home Campus shall be justly rewarded by a Banquet on the bark ‘History Club .” “Yes, Captain of A. I., but tell me, what treasure have you gathered to give your queen at her Coronation? I hear you enter the Cove of Kingsville to claim her tonight.” “Treasure? I have it in heaps of acquired knowledge, and stacks of ex- perience. and chests of thoughts, and for her special court I have had the Junior Crew prepare a Senior Banquet and the Faculty helmsmen a Senior Tea. I shall take her to a Fare-well dance, and then to the service of a Baccalaureate Sermon to prepare her for the Commencement of life upon the sea of the Wide World.” Page 172 ATHLETICS — — ' A. Y. McCALLUM Coach C. E. JEWETT Assistant Coach Coaching Staff One of the greatest factors in the success of the 1930-31 athletic sea- son was the work of the coaches, A. Y. McCallum and C. E. Jewett. By their untiring efforts and ceaseless drill they inspired in the Jave- linas that old fighting spirit that made the wearers of the Blue and Gold known throughout the athletic ranks in Texas. Not only did they make the boys aspire to greater playing than the “Hogs” have ever done before, but they also endeavored to instil into the heart of every athlete the love of fair play and honesty. “Bud” McCallum, head coach of A. I., came to A. I. as her first football coach and Director of Athletics from the Junior College of Wichita Falls. He was a star athlete at the University of Texas, and an All Southwestern End. He has brought his experience and training to this school, and has achieved a fighting team of Javelinas, who, under his leadership, will make a great name for A. I. in the future. “Cal'’ Jewett, assistant coach of athletics, came from St. Edward's University of Austin, where he was named one of the best guards of the colleges of the United States. He has not only capably filled the position as assistant coach, but has also fostered the true spirit of athletics in A. I. Page 175 Yell Leaders The Pep Squad of A. I. was organized early in the fall by E. Kenneth Wells, who later resigned his place as head yell-leader. The work was carried on by Sarah Ruth White, as head yell-leader, and her assist- ants, Frances Chatham and Bill Blair. Due to their efforts. Blue and Gold uniforms were obtained for the Squad. The Pep Squad Club of the college was organized to go out and yell at the games and support the football boys, and that is what they did. They backed the boys—win or lose! Miss Virginia Campbell and Mrs. Melba McCallum, sponsors of the club, were with the students in spirit and in reality, and did all they could to encourage them. The blue and gold uniforms are to be worn by the Pep Squad throughout the future of the college, and the spirit of the first public appearance of the Co-Eds in them will be with the boys of A. I. in all of their athletic feats in the coming years. Frances Chatham Rill Blair Sarah Ruth White Page 176 FOOTBALL 1930 FOOTBALL SEASON LAWRENCE ALLEN Co-Captain The 1930 Football Season was one of the most successful the A. I. Javelinas have known. Un- der the capable direction of A. Y. McCallum and C. E. Jewett the boys waged a good fight and showed they really deserved their membership in the Texas inter- collegiate Athletic Association. Much credit should be given the reserves who fought just as hard as did the regulars. They were the opposition of the Varsity in the practice sessions and did much to insure the success of the plays as they were the trial horses of all plays. These men should make the varsity next year, GORDON CABANISS Co-Captain RESULTS September 29 Javelinas 6 Lutheran College 6 October 3 Javelinas 0 Southwestern 0 October 7 Javelinas 40 Edinburg Junior College G Javelinas 0 Rice “B Team G November 1 Javelinas 7 Schreiner G November 8 Javelinas 0 Sam Houston 19 November 17 Javelinas 25 East Texas Teachers 6 November 22 Javelinas 6 Daniel Baker 6 December 4 Javelinas 6 Sul Ross ... 20 + • First Row; Rode (Mgr.), Glass Nyqufest, Walker, Waddill, Prater, Hawkins, Cherry, C.

MIL AULD—END Mil has played end three years for Lhe Javelinas, after performing one year in the line, playing his. old position of played his last season with the Hogs this year and there is no doubt of the fact that it was his best. His specialty was defensive work, and it was for this reason that he received “All Confer- ence mention. GORDON CABANISS—GUARD Co-Captain Cab proved to be a bulwark of strength in the line playing his old position of guard. Very few gains were made through his place; and his blocking on offense was one of his chief assets. He was Co-Captain of the 1030 team and his leadership was a deciding factor in the success of the team. He received mention for “All T, I. A. A. JAVELINAS, 6—LUTHERAN COLLEGE, 6 September 29th The Javelinas met unexpected strength in the Junior College of Se- guin and the Bulldogs tied the Fighting Hogs 6 to 6. Blackburn was the offensive star of the visitors, while Morris, Harbin and Cabaniss were the outstanding men of the Javelinas. Reed plunged the ball over to tie the score, as Blackburn had intercepted a pass and run seventy yards for the Bulldogs' score. Many men were used in this contest, giving the whole squad a chance to show their ability. JAVELINAS, 0—SOUTHWESTERN, 0 October 3rd Playing their first night game, the Hogs fought the Southwestern University Pirates to a scoreless tie at Georgetown. The Hogs out- played the Pirates thruout the game and except for two costly fumbles Page 179 FOOTBALL VERNON COUCH—FULL Couch did not pla r regularly; hut he gave a good account of himself while in the game. His size was a decided ad- vantage in his favor as the opponents were hard pressed to stop his line plunges. He lias three more years with the Hogs. ALBERT COX—HALF Abie made the seventy yard run which resulted in the famous victory over Schreiner Institute. He was constant threat all season due to his exceptional speed and change of pace. He has three more years to battle for this college, and after making the “All T. T. A. A.” team this year he should be the unanimous choice of all critics next fall. MAX CORNELIUS—HALF Although a freshman, Max clearly demonstrated what fight and tenacity will accomplish. His punting and pass- ing were great aids when needed; and with another year’s experience. Max should he the class of the conference when it comes to forward passing. would have won the game. The A. L warriors made nine first downs to the Centra] Texas representatives’ five Rich, Auld, Harbin and Ma Smith were the outstanding Javelina players. JAVELIN AS, 40—EDINBURG COLLEGE, 6 October 7th The Reserves started the game and were pushed down the field for the Bronc’s touchdown. The Varsity went into the game and the game took on a different aspect. The Javelinas immediately started the fireworks. In rapid succession, Cox, Si Smith, Sargeant, Ma Smith, Couch and Harbin scored touchdowns and the game took on the ap- Pane 180 FOOTBALL W. L, HARBIN —HALF Dub, the Cleburne Flash, was the Team's triple threat man. His passing, punting, and hail carrying made him one of the most valuable men to the club. He received ‘‘All Conference” mention and is due to be a great football man next year. He has two more years with the Hogs. CALVIN HIBLER—TACKLE Cal lettered this year after being a reserve last season, and his fight and pep secured the recognition which they so deserved. Cal has two more seasons in which to battle for the Javelinas. MARTIN HODGKISS—TACKLE Monk came here with a good high school reputation and although be found a decidedly different brand of football, he rapidly made for himself a place on the team. Playing tackle, he made life miserable for the opposing ends. Monk will be with she A. I. Club three more years. JAVELINAS, 0—RICE INSTITUTE, 6 October 18th Victims of overconfidence, the Fighting Hogs were defeated by the Rice “B” team in the first game that A. I. had ever played a South- western Conference opponent. The Owls scored in the first quarter, and from then on, it was a battle with first one team having the advantage and then the other. There were no stars for the Hogs as everyone was overconfident and no one played his best game. JAVELINAS, 7—SCHREINER INSTITUTE, 6 November 1st For the first time since the two schools have had football relation- ship, A. I. defeated the Schreiner Mountaineers 7 to 6. Albert Cox returned a punt seventy yards for the touchdown which tied Schreiner. fae 181 FOOTBALL LLOYD LEE—TACKLE Cuz, the Bay City Blonde, again proved to be a strong link in that forward wall. His ferocious charging anti the use of his hands made him a man to be feared. Cuz has two more seasons in which to deal the opposition misery. CLARENCE LOTSPEICH QUARTER Bush did not receive the recognition that he rightfully deserved this past season, although he played in the ma- jority of the games. His knowledge of the game and his strategy was little short of the miraculous. He was a good ball carrier, punter, and passer. Bush is, without a doubt, one of the game's smartest quarterbacks. WILLIAM MORRIS—TACKLE Red again starred at tackle for the Hogs, His work was good the first two seasons but nothing to compare to the last. He could not be taken out of a play and his fight carried him along af- ter all else failed. Red has one more year in which to bring credit to A. I. Ma Smith and Mil Auld share the glory with the ball carrier, for those two ran superb interference to enable Cox to speed down the sideline for the 6 points. Ma Smith then kicked goal giving the Javelinas the margin of victory. JAVELINAS, 0—SAM HOUSTON, 19 November 8th Led by the brilliant Coe and Day, the Rearkats won from the Javelinas in a mud battle. The Bearkats made all their counters in the first half, the Hogs holding them the last half. Couch, freshman fullback, showed to advantage for the Hogs; and Auld, right end, played a strong defen- sive game, although being in no condition to play, as he had received serious injuries in practice. Harbin, Cox and Ma Smith were the chief offensive threats for the Javelinas. Page 182 FOOTBALL EGGLESTON RAMEE—GUARD Jug-head was the bruiser type of guard, hard to move and mean. He dealt misery to all opposing guards and his defensive work was an outstanding feature of every game. Eggie has one more year with the Hogs. WALTER REED—FULLBACK Satch was a great groundgainer and his popularity with his teammates led to hia being elected Captain for the 1931 team. The Bertram Blizzard is due to make a name for himself and A, 1. this coming fall, ROBERT RICH—END Bob was one of the best ends in the conference this year and he will be bet' ter this coining season. He cannot be carried out of any play and his speed aids him in going down under punts as he stops the safety men in their tracks. Bob has three more years with the Blue and the Gold. JAVELIN AS, 25—EAST TEXAS TEACHERS, 6 November 17th Led by Albert Cox and Mil Auld, the Fighting Hogs were easily the victors over the strong East Texas Lions on Hog Field. Auld scored the first touchdown in an end-around play and from that moment on, the Hogs ran away with the game. Cox scored two touchdowns and Harbin accounted for the other. Rich and Lotspeich played heads-up ball and figured prominently in the win. JAVELIN AS, 6—DANIEL BAKER, 6 November 22nd With Captain Cabaniss and Mil Auld playing their last game on Hog Field, the Fighting Javelinas tied the strong Daniel Baker Hill Billies, 6 to 6. Bob Rich and Si Smith figured in the Javelinas’ score, with Page 1X3 FOOTBALL CLIFFORD SADLER—CENTER Sadler came to the front when Allen was injured and took up the job of cen teriiig. His work was commendable and he won his “T. He has three more years. ROGER SARGEANT HALFBACK Roger reported for football for the first time this year and rapidly made for himself a berth on the starting elev- en His wonderful drive and speed made him a ground-gainer of no mean ability. Roger will he back next fall. LAWRENCE SMITH HALFBACK Si was one of the best men that the Hogs had on the roster this year and his fight and spirit did much to mould a team spirit. Si has one more year and he is due to he AH Conference.” Rich carrying the ball down to the goal line and Ma pushing it over. Cabaniss and Auld turned in good games for which the fans will re- member the lads. Smith was the star for the visitors. JAVELINAS, 6—SUL ROSS LOBOES, 20 December 4th Playing against an inspired team, the Hogs, again victims of over- confidence, were defeated 20 to 6. The Hogs started the reserves and the Loboes immediately scored a touchdown and were again on the Hogs’ ten yard line before the Varsity was sent into the fray. The first team managed to secure one touchdown, but was unable to stop the spin plays of the westerners. Cox, Auld, Cabaniss, and Ma Smith played stellar games for the Javelinas. This wras the last collegiate game for Cabaniss and Auld. Page 184 FOOTBALL M. A, SMITH—FULLBACK Ma proved to be the best fullback on the squad: and his blocking ability was an invaluable asset to the club. Ma has one more season in which to fight for the A. I. team. His work will, no doubt, make him the outstanding man on the club next year. PAUL FORGY—MANAGER The Hogs lay claim to the best little manager in the whole world’ Paul handled the job of managing the team of forty members without a bobble and his pleasing personality made him a fine man to he connected with the Jave- linas. The team is proud of the fact that they had South Texas' out- standing musician as their manager. JOHN MARK DIXON ASSISTANT MANAGER John Mark was of invaluable assist- ance to the Manager in aiding him in his many duties, Dixon will be one of the candidates for the club proper next year. DOUGLAS COCHRAN—END PETE POWELL—GUARD Doug lettered for his second year at end for the I-Iogs. His fight and block- ing made for the success of all plays to his side of the line. Doug has one more year in which to reap more glory for A. I, and he should be one of the out- standing men of the conference, Pete is another reserve from the 1029 season who made good this year. His pep and scrapping quality made him a mail to be feared. Pete stopped all that came his way and was in the thick of Page IU5 BASKETBALL LAWRENCE ALLEN Captain 1931 Basketball Season Having only three letter men back, the Javelinas were sorely handicapped in the T. L A. A. race. The coaches relied upon the first year men to bring victory to A, and I., and although not winning a conference game, the Javelinas always put up a great fight Allen, Morris and Smith were the old men who formed the nucleus for the basketball team and the new men who lettered were: Glass, Hodgkiss, Teel, Sadler, Parker, Rogers, and Rich, Couch and Cherry received managerial letters. Among the group, Teel and Sadler were the outstanding performers, each being a strong defensive man and a high scorer. The Javelinas will not lose a man off this squad and should develop into a strong club for next season’s campaign.

HODGKISS, MARTIN Although not having the ability of a basketball player. Monk showed what tenacity and perseverenee would accom- plish, He lettered this year and should make a good man next year. Pag 191 MORRIS, WILLIAM Red did not play as much as last year, but his playing was always up to a high quality mark and several times his un- canny eye for the basket made things miserable for his opponents. Red will return again next year. PARKER, REED Parker played a good game this year. He did not see much action, and with experience should develop into a fine center. He has the ability and the con- fidence to make a name for himself and we believe he will. RICH, ROBERT Robert is another man who is making himself into a basketball player. He improved rapidly in the 1931 season and is due to develop into a stellar perform- er before his college days are done. Pagt 192 ROGERS, JOHN Rogers was one of the team's best for- wards. His uncanny eye for the basket helped to pile up the score for the Jave- linas. He has three more years to fight for the Blue and Gold. SADLER, CLIFFORD Sadler started the season as if he in- tended to be high point man of the con- ference, but he could not keep up the pace that he at first set. However, he could always be depended upon to deal misery to the opponents and his shots were always the feature of the games. Sadler should be All Conference” ma- terial next year. SMITH, W. H. Smith was elected captain for the 1932 season. He is a hard trainer and a fine basketball man. Playing forward, lie could always be depended upon to count for a number of points. He will make a good leader next year. TEEL, HARMON Harmon rapidly proved to the fans that he could play basketball. His work throughout the season was good, and he should make “all conference” before he finishes A. and I. He was one of the most outstanding men on the team, Page 193 OTHER SPORTS Lower Group, Top: Barnett, C. Baker, A. Westlake, Glover. Bottom: Hear d, V, Westlake, Baird, H. Baker, Wesley. TENNIS C. T.

Some 2,000 of these acres comprise the Santa Gertrudis Jersey Farm unit. Its large herd represents the highest type and most prepotent strains of the Jersey breed, and has won high recognition at the leading fairs and shows of the country. The Farm is considered one of the ob- ject lessons of South Texas, and has been visited by the world's leading Jersey breeders. 4444444444 ANTA GERTRUDIS JERSEY FARM Rcbt. J. Kleberg, Prop.

We quote from The Jersey Bulletin: “Dairying, wherever followed has eliminated from Southern Agriculture the nightmare of unstable market conditions, which periodically distress a whole nation. For ages the Southern cash- register rang only for cotton. This has all changed, for those alive to the advantages of dairying. Dairying is a solution of the South’s pres- ent farming problem.” WE WELCOME students of the College of Arts Industries interested in Animal Husbandry and Agriculture for SANTA GERTRUDIS JER- SEY FARM affords remarkable possibilities of a Field Laboratory in connection with these courses of College Training. One of the purposes in operating the Farm is to contribute something in educational prog- ress, and it is indeed a pleasure to have Students and Visitors to visit the Farm at any available opportunity. 444444444 A . .

As this expansion and develop- ment takes place, greater advantages accrue to its users in household com- fort and convenience and in the development of 1 agriculture, commerce and industry.

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.
