Martin Hamilton, representative of Taylor Publishing Company, has always been ready to lend a helping hand and answer any ques- tions that would come up. Tom Murray, art director for Taylor, provided new and different ideas for layouts. The 1953 staff has worked under many handicaps, and without Mr. Murrafs help this book would not have been com- pleted. To our photo editor, Wyn Wardell, and his workers Pete Liddell, Bernie Goodman, Dick Stewart, and Maurice Miller, we would like to extend very special thanks. Many afternoons and nights were spent shooting and printing pictures. And to Don Chatham of Chatham Studio, who shot the sorority, fraternity, and vanity fair sections-we believe these are among the outstanding sections. Mr. Chatham took time out from his work to make a special trip to Taylor to insure the best quality of work possible. The 1953 staff would like to say thanks to all of you who have contributed work toward this book, which incidentally is the largest Houstonian ever published. Without you it could not have been possible. the houstonian staff Shasta university of houston mascot dedication We must reckon presciently with the realities of space and time. and not be. content - u 9, merely to lav down on paper good prmClples of conduct.

Since becoming Athletic Director in 1945, Mr. Fouke has pursued relentlessly one goal ea progressive athletic program for the University. Present national recognition in many fields testifies to the affable directofs success. Dur- ing eight years under Harry Fouke, University athletic teams have climbed from their first inter-collegiate competition to participation in widespread national meets. His department hears the scars of a Megiddo. Conscientious academicians who opposed general sports emphasis were convinced, that under Mr. Fouke, leadership would be sub- stituted for dominance. Foukeis eternal optimism seeped through the thick skin of alumni lethargy. Student apa- thy changed to progressive fervor as big 3an teams were scheduled. Coaches and universities across the nation heard about iiBig Red,i for the first time as Harry Fouke traveled, talked, explained, and in every way espoused the potential greatness of the Universityis athletic program. The competent coaching and administration staffs of the department under his guidance have realized this goal. Before coming to the University Mr. Fouke coached at San Antonio Tech and Thomas Jefferson high schools. He left coaching to become Athletic Director for the San Antonio public schools-Iater he assumed the same duties in Houston. From this position he joined the University of Houston. At Rice Institute he lettered in football and basketball, and won the coveted Bob Quin award for athletic and scholastic accomplishments. Thus, in realization of his past achievements and confident in his future contribution to University progress, the Houstonian staff dedicates this record of the past yearis activity to Harry H. Fouke, University of Houston Athletic Director. special acknowledgment Recognition of a man behind the scenes is rare. N. 5. Patterson, retiring Director of the School of Journalism and Graphic Arts, deserves this distinction. The Houstonian Staff knows him best as sponsor of the Houstonian since the early 1940:: Under his direction, the yearbook has expanded rapidly to keep pace with the mushroom growth of the University. Since becoming Director of Public Relations in 1940, Mr. Patterson, unceremoniously, has played an important role in this growth. In 1948, while under the directorship of Mr. Patterson, the School of J ournalism and Graphic Arts received a complete printing plant. R. E. tBobi Smith, Houston oil man and civic leader, gave the equipment necessary to insure the steady growth of the School of Journalism. It was in the hope that progress in Houston area journalism could he furthered that Mr. Patterson worked so diligently on this philanthropic project. Mr. Patterson left the position of,Public Relations Director to become head of the School of Journalism and Graphic Arts in 1950. Scores of graduates from the school now employed by local and community publications is testimony to its success. Campus chapters of leading journalism and photojournalism fraternities are represent- ed nationally. Under Patterson,s guidance the school has one of the largest enrollments in the Southwest, and rates as one of the top journalism schools in the country. The Cougar, campus newspaper, has been nurtured by him into a major publication with high national prestige. This year Mr. Patterson was president of the Southwestern Journalism Congress and hosted representatives from journalism schools throughout the Southwest. In the summer of 1953, Mr. Patterson resigned his position at the University of Houston to enter private business as a public relations and publications counselor. Knowing him as we do, we have made no attempt to formulate an encomium. Therefore, recognizing his fourteen years of service to the University and his contributions to campus publications-the Houstonian Staff wishes him well in his new venture and records this special token of gratitude and sincere appreciation.

The most familiar sight at all football games is the most famous of all Cougars-SHASTA. GORDON McCLENDON KLBS Sportscaster SHASTA U of H Mascot Hired exclusively by the University of Houston, Gor- don l The Old Scotchmanl McClendon, broadcast all football games in the fall of 1952. His accurate play-by- play description and clever idioms brought the Saturday game into the living room of many homes. He was voted America7s outstanding football broadcaster in 1951 by the llSporting News? 78 football highlights LL MAHPIIINSIIIP IS a u wanna? . wzmasnry 3511311312231 Lee with Co-Captains Clapp and Carroll. CLYDE V. LEE Head Football Coach Will they score? ltHe never ceases to move forward? that,s Coach Clyde Lee. He held the reins as the University of Houston Cougars went on to its greatest football season, by winning 8 and losing 2 against some of the top teams in the nation. Quite a feat for a team that has only been playingr football seven years and quite a tribute to the coaching-staff. Entering his sixth year as head coach of the Cougars, he is just starting his climb to the top--a warning to the football world that the UniverSIty of Houston is here to stay. A star end for the famed Centenary College Gentlemen of 1930-32, Lee began hls coaching career at Overton, Texas, high school. After serving his apprenticeship in high schoolJ Lee was named head mentor at Kilgore College. World War II found him in the Navy as a Director of Physical Training. In 1945 Coach Lee re- turned to Kilgore. Tulsa University beckoned him in 1946, as line coach until 1948, when he came to Houston as head coach. His all-time coaching record is 140 wins, 38 losses, and 7 ties. When you realize that a good number of these losses came during the days he was putting Houston on its football feet, his success is all the more remarkable.

D. KIMMEL J. D. Kimmel became the first Cougar player to ever make All-American, when the Associated Press, one of the two greatest news services in the country and each year presenting one of the major All-American selections, named him to its first string defensive platoon. Thus Kimmel, great defensive player and former West Point great, added to his long list of honors. In addition to his All-American rating, he gained number 2 team honors on the respected NEA selection and an almost unanimous choice for first team on the United Press All-Missouri Valley team. The big 235 pound tackle from Tyler, Texas, called defensive signals for the Cougars during the year and was constantly hailed as a great team leader. J. D. Kimmel-ean All-American not only in football ability, but in character, leadership and general performance. So into the Cougars, Football Hall of Fame goes jersey i783, never to be worn again. 1953 houstonialfs football player of the year FRANK J AMES There are many specialists on the football field-the kicking specialist, the defensive specialist and others, but who ever heard of a kick-blocking specialist? F ortunately, the U of H has had one for the past two seasons. Blocking opponents, kicks is a F rank James specialty. He has blocked no less than twelve punts and eleven extra point tries in the past two years. When you toss in some outstanding middle-guard defensive work against running plays, it becomes evident that the 210 pound guard is a work horse. The husky senior was honored by being chosen to play in the annual Blue-Cray game in Mont- gomery, Alabama. Here, he showed his worth by playing his usual terrific defensive game by recov- ering two fumbles, one of which set up a touchdown. Our player of the year is a native of Franklin, Texas. He is the youngest of eight childrenethe rest being all girls. As spirited as a wild stallion, Frank James is appropriately nicknamed the Hose. The 1953 Hous- tonian Staff proudly hails him as our choice for Player ol the Year. 85 houston ........ 13 texas 3 Sun ...... 21 HOUSTON.

This was the first Missouri Valley Conference game of 1952 for the Cougars. Actually, the difference was a field goal sent through the uprights by Verle Cray early in the first period, his second in as many games. Again that stout Cougar defensive line and secondary must take credit as they held the Cowpokes' offense to a combined total of 62 yards both rushing and passing. Six fumbles, four of them within the Hous- ton 35 yard line provided the Ags their only touchdown late in the second period as Jones plunged over center from the one yard line. McWhirter flies 11 yards for only U of H touchdown. The Cougars' lone touchdown came in the form of a snap from center. The Aggiesi Ken McCullough was back to punt 0n fourth down and the pass from center came back about ankle high. As he juggled the ball. the Cougar linemen swamped him under and gave the U of H possession of the ball on the ASM 25 yard line. McWhirter and Carr brought the ball to the 11, where, on second down, McWhirter took a pitchout from Clatterbuck and swept right end for the score. 5. M.

Sept. llmThe Big Rt'fl erased all doubt that it was the best in the Missouri Valley Conference by pounding a highly re- garded Tulaa University team 1337 before 31.- 000 homecoming fans. In the first quarter the Cougars punted af- ter failing to pick up any yardage. The Hurri- canesl Dick Kercher dropped the kick and Marvin Lackey recovered on the Tulsa 6. It took four plays from there, with Paul Carr carrying over from the 2-yard line. Howton,s conversion made it 7-0. Tulsa came roaring back for their only score, as Kercher slammed over from the one. The U of H countered in the second period on a blocked punt by guard Frank James. Clatterbuck found Vic Hampel open at the Tulsa 25 and the lanky end legged it the rest of the way. Dietrich picks up yardage behind good blocking. Ken Pridgeonls brilliant kick in the third perind went out of bounds at the Hurricane one. Tulsa attempted to punt from their own end zone. but Buddy Gilliuz barged in to black it and fell on the hall for the third Houston touchdown. S. M. Meeks scored later in the period on a one-yard plunge over tackle. The final Cougar mum came. when Vic Hampel went high in the air to grab a 31-yard Clatterbuck aerial. S. M. Meeks led the Cougars with 56 yards on 10 carries. The defensive team again showed their worth, as they held the nation's number one offensive team to 200 yards passing and rushing.

Nov. le-A supercharged Cougar de- fensive halfback and a hard charging defensive line proved too much for Texas Tech, as the Big Red rumbled to a 20-7 victory before 18.000 fans. Jackie Howton turned in the finest performance of his career, as hc- intercepted four passes at crucial times and did a brilliant job against enemy runners. In all, the Cougar defense recovered three fumbles, intercepted seven passes. permitted the Raiders to cross midfield only four times and gave up only 65 yards rushing and 90 yards passing. Paul Carr set up the first Cougar score. as he intercepted a pass at the Tech 38. On the second play, Clatterbuck passed to McWhirter who went over from the tour. Another intercepted pass. this time by Roland John- son, led to the second score. Pass interference against Tech on the 25 gained 12 yards to the seven, from where Clutter- huck went over three plays later. Tech's unusual score came late in the third quarter. Marvin Durrenburger intervepted a pass inside the Cougar five yard line and ran it to the 15. He attempted to lateral. but the ball fell into the hands of Dean Smith, who had an open field from there to pay dirt. In the fourth period, the Cougars went 50 yards in 12 plays for their final touchdown. Pridgcon bulled into right tackle for the score with 2 minutes left in the game.

The Rebels. under the supt-rh leadrrship at quarterback Jimmy Lear. tripped the Big Red 6-0. The 34.000 fans. who came to see the U of H match defenses with the Rebels. kept hoping for one long play or one break that could inject life into the Cougarst lifeless attack. But, the break never came. A Mississippi line that occasionally bent, but was never broken, explained the Houston defeat. The downfall came two minutes before the half. as the Cougars fumbled 0n the Ole Miss 40 yard line. Three Mississippi linemen pounced on the ball and from there. on the arm of Lear and the running of Harold Lofton and Wilson Dillard, the Rebels drove down to the Houston 9 yard line. On fourth down, Lofton found a hole off tackle and sliced through for the touchdown. Frank James broke through to block Lear's conversion attempt. It was 6-0 and thafs the way it ended. The Cougars threatened in the fourth period, but a pass interception cut it off. From there on, the Rebels ran out the clock and strode out just as they came iniundefeated.

The long lost Cougar offensive punch was found at last as they got right in line with the high-stepping Big Red defense to garner their first win over the Baptists after two defeats. Houston built up a 14-0. lead before the Bears flashed their only scoring punch midway in the second quarter. The. Cougars drove 49 yards on the ground to the game's first touchdown. From the Baylor eight. 0n fourth down, Pridgeon followed the blocking of tackle John Carroll and dashed into the end zone. Jack Howton. who, with Sammy Hopson. was again sharp on defense, kicked the first of four placements. A blocked kick by guard Wayne Shoemaker set up the second score. Tackle Buddy Gillioz scored his second touchdown this season by falling on the loose ball in the end zone. Baylor came back when Hooper pitched out to Carpenter on the Houston four and the fleet halfback had clear sailing for the touchdown. A pass interception by George Hynes helped the Cougars to a third score. The Big Red went 32 yards in five plays, with Pridgeon banging eight yards over tackle for the score. The final Cougar touchdown came when fullback Jack Patterson, run- ning hard and quick, went over standing up. On the offense, you could take your pick of the 12 backs who got to carry the ball, as they all made yardage. The defense was its usual self, as they halted Baylor runners in their infrequent excursions into the Cougar secondary.

Early in the fourth quarter, Meeks ripped off tackle for 60 yards and another touchdown. Then Bailes turned in the greatest individual performance of the day.

So, the ttBig Red? a team which won half of the Missouri Valley Conference title on the flip of a coin, defeated Detroit U twice to bring home the full championship. The Cougars then knocked off the Iyniversity of Oklahoma, the Big Seven champs, in two out of three games at Houston, to capture the fifth district N.C.A.A. crown. This meant a trip to Omaha, Nebraska, for the National Collegiate tournament to fight it out for the national champion- ship.

This endeavor is justified in the belief that students, faculty, employees, and friends of the University are interested in what has happened during the school year. Only by full coverage is it possible to compile such a record. The campus has been covered; however, errors are bound to creep in. These errors, and we hope there are very few, were not intentional. Any error of omission or mis- representation is certainly regretted by the staff. At times the staff was woefully short-handed. Sometimes it was next to im- possible to gather correct information from organizations. However, by checking and rechecking with different groups, the information has been accumulated, written, proofed, and published. We have covered the campus to the best of our ability. We hope our efforts will afford you a treasured record for the future. N. S.

Death in various forms came to members of the faculty, student body, and alumni. Sickness, accident, and natural causes thinned the . ranks of those associated with the University. Words are lost to those who have gone. Words to loyal friends and associates are unnecessary. Words to the family and loved ones of the deceased are inadequate. Therefore, in the spirit of eternal comradeship and with the feeling of humble thanks, we who live to carry the standard of the University leave this thought for those who follow: Regardless of the station in life reached-those who have passed left a marked contribution to the growth and success of the University.

One improvement has invariably led to others, opening new frontiers for research and progress. As a result, record breaking bits of not too many years ago have become today's museum pieces. Through the years Hughes Tool Company's expenditures in research and engineering to improve the performance of its bits and advance rotary drilling have run into millions of dollars. Currently, these expenditures are at a rate of more than $1,500,000 per year. This continuing research enables Hughes to keep pace with the constantly changing needs of a fast moving drilling industry. Progress dictates that we can never be satisfied with any improvement of the moment. 425 Congratulations and Best Wzslzes totlw Class of I953 IT DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE Where You Buy Your Car!
