. APACHE, 1936 H+- Neff' Read Them and Weep! MR. POSTON'S LAMENT Wlien I was young, and in my prime, I used to tell jokes all the time. But now that I am growing old, There are no jokes I have not told. I try to enliven my class with wit, As before me each day they glumly sit. But alas for me and my bag of tricks, They will always remain a group of hicks. 5 1 1 1 1 INTERVIEW WITH AN ENGLISH LITERATURE STUDENT We've scanned the lines, how oft no one knows. From that Beowulf drivel through Milton's prose We've read and read, and wrote and wrote, fFrom forty-four authors we can quote.j If we finally see what the study is about We will receive the benefit of the doubt. But there's a joker in this you see, For there is no doubt, believe you mel If you would live for many years, And avoid strife and perhaps tears, You'll drop English Lit. as quick as you can And live to be a much happier man. 24 41g4.I',l W r 1 1 oi' I Ll f 'f,p: fir '

SOPHOMORES TRIUMPH IN soup BOWL ACTIVITIES In a scorching battle waged today at the high school athletic field, the Tyler Junior Col- lege Sophomores defeated the Freshmen by a score of 20 to 6. The fact that the Sopho- mores had only nine men did not hinder them in the least, nor did the fact that the Freshmen used twelve players for the first fifteen min- utes of the game. The ice was broken, figuratively speaking, when a Freshman back was tackled behind his own goal line. Score: Sophomores, 2, Fresh- men, 0. Forty-three plays later the quarter- back, halfback, fullback of the Sophomore team heaved a rainbow pass to a teammate, who scampered for a touchdown. The pass, Burton to Bickley, was good for twenty-six yards. But the Freshmen quickly retaliated with a series of short passes that culminated with a touchdown by Perdue. Score: Sophomores, 8, Freshmen, 6. Taking the ball on a tricky quadruple re- verse that had the entire membership of both teams frantically searching for the pigskin, Rip Goforth tore around left end for a Hrst down on the Freshmen's twenty-three yard line. Un the next play Burton ran down the sideline for another counter. Score: Sophomores, 14, Freshmen, 6. Wliile crowds cheered wildly, the battle raged on an even footing for the next few min- utes. Burton put the game on ice by snaring a pass and running for another touchdown with only eight men for interference. The game was concluded shortly afterwards because nei- ther team had brought water wings. We wish to take this opportunity to correct an error that was made in a previous report of the contest. It was alleged that Hankerson caught a hot pass in the flat, but in reality he was caught by a hot pass and knocked flat. The statistics on the game show that the Freshmen made thirty-three first downs, while the Sophomores had to be content with only twenty-seven. The Freshmen kicked four times for an average of five yards per punt. The Sophomores kicked continuously, but it did not get them anywhere. An interesting side note on the battle is the training of Goforth for the event. He is said to have run home from school every day to preserve his wind. fl-Ie is willing to sell the secret of his success to any- one, if they will direct their inquiries to Rip Goforth, Overton, Texas., After the game a reporter asked Smoky Erwin foften called The Idle of the School , if he thought the game was a hard one. Mr. Erwin said, Tn speaking for the Freshmen let me say that all we want is another chancef' Sophomore Dave Gilley is reputed to have re- marked that the fame he derived from the encounter would be sure to land him in some of the All-American selections, but that as a whole the game was As easy as falling asleep in English class. The game proved nothing, but all of the players hope it will become an annual custom. fEd. Note-No line-ups were given because of the brawls precipitated by arguments over who was to play what.,
