Bulldogs
By Haugen & Lindig
KOEPP REPORTS FOR FIELD EVENTS
Billie Koepp, former La Vernia High School star, reported to
Coach Kieffer and is now working out in the shot and discus divi-
sions. Koepp heaves the 16-pound shot about forty feet. His discus
record is well above the century mark.
Koepp’s abilities will give the Bulldogs a good chance of placing
in the state meet to be held at NTAC the first week in May.
INTRAMURAL ALL-STAR TEAM
The following all-star team has been selected by the Lone Star.
Selections were based on scoring, defensive playing, sportsmanship,
and cooperation.
Forwards, Herman Mansur of the Jay Hawks and Riley Ashorn
of the Globe Trotters; center. Harold Mueller of the Blackbirds;
guards, Oscar Lindeman of the Blackbirds and “Flappy” Albrecht
of the Jay Hawks.
Honorable mention: Forwards, Scott of the Hoosiers and Lee
of the JayHawks; center, Klattenhoff of the Hoosiers; Guards, Lucken-
bach of the Hoosiers and Gohlke of the Blackbirds.
TENNIS PROSPECTS
The 1942 tennis propects for the TLC Bulldogs look rather bright
with Guenther Luckenbach, Weston Luckenbach, and Alonso Duder-
stadt already coming out. Guenther and Weston Luckenbach have
played together for four years in high school and should round into
good shape in a short time. Duderstadt played for TLC last year.

which followed the orchestra ap-
peared in approximately fifty pro-
grams and concerts.
During the year 1931-32 a band
was organized which took the
place of an orchestra. There were
competitive try-outs to determine
the membership of the band.
The band was reorganized in
1933 under the direction of R. W.
Wiliman. There were only seven
members present at the first re-
hearsals, but in four months this
band consisted of fifty pieces and
appeared in full uniform.
In 1937 a Bohemian band was
organized. The students took the
initiative and had no director. The
Bohemian band was much smaller
than the college band and was
organized solely for the pleasure
the students derived from it. In
1941-42 a Bohemian band was
again organized.
Professor E. W. Tampke took
over the TLC band in 1938. In
that same year, the band got new
uniforms.
Athletic Organizations
Athletic organizations existed
even in the academy days. There
were teams in football, basketball,
lawm tennis, and croquet. All stu-
dents were urged to take part in
one of these organizations. Later
volley ball and baseball were add-
ed and still later track work.
There were frequent games sched-
uled for every year with outside
teams.
In 1937 an athletic club known
as the Lutheran Girls Athletic
Club was organized by a post-
graduate student. This club had

Soon after the organization of
the Lutheran Girls Athletic Club
the Girls Athletic Association was
organized. The GAA took the
place of the former club. It had
as its sponsor, Mrs. Gustafson,
who still sponsors it. The GAA
is an organization for girls wish-
ing to enter into intramural sports
such as basketball, volley bail,
baseball, tennis, and swimming
sports. Membership is entirely
voluntary.
Literary Organizations
The College Bulletin of 1913
bears record of the first literary
organizations. In this year, 1913,
there existed the “German Kon-
kordia” which in 1914 became
known as the “Germania.”
Also in 1913 there existed the
“English Literary Society.” This
club held regular meetings every
two weeks. Their programs con-
sisted of readings, essays, declama-
tions, orations, debates, dialogues
and discussions of parliamentary
laws. One of the members of the
faculty was present each time to
lead the work and to make sug-
gestions.
The first extra-curricula religious I
activity was the organization
known as the “Christl'icher Unter-
Haltungs Verein.” This organiza-
tion fostered religious knowledge
and endeavored to make the
Christian spirit an activating prin-
ciple for daily life.
The “English Literary Society”
and the “German Konkordia” still
existed in the year 1930. In addi-
tion to these organizations were

INTRAMURAL TITLE
The underdog Long Island
Blackbirds copped the '42 intra-
mural basketball championship
Friday night, March 20. Linden-
berg’s Jay Hawks were defeated
27-33/although they were fighting
for victory to necessitate a play-
off. The Jay Hawks were play-
ing without the services of their
center, Herman Hansur. The
game was played on even terms
until the third quarter when the
; Blackbirds gained a ten point lead.
Late in the final quarter Lee and
Albrecht started a rally which fell
short as the game ended.
Bob Stulting led the Jay Hawks
with ten points, while Lindeman
and Scott tallied the same num-
ber for the champions.
Two new records were establish-
ed during the intramural basket-
ball program this year. The in-
dividual scoring record for a single
game was made by Herman Man-
sur who tallied 27 points. The
highest team score was recorded
when the Jay Hawks defeated the
Longhorns 68-12.

Epsilon.” These organizations
were interested in literature and
art.
In 1931 an organization known
as the Bolivars came into exis-
tence. The Bolivars originated
humorously with a group of five
gentlemen students at TLC. How-
ever, at present the Bolivars con-
sist of only four members. These
•four members are a branch of a
national organization, whose chief
purpose is to promote social life.
I From a number of pledges four
individuals are selected to con-

old members are gone.

(By John Jacobs)
(continued from last issue)
Since everyone knows that roads
in Mexico couldn’t possibly be
permitted to have recourse to de-
tours, we won’t imagine the blame
which would be placed on the driv-
er because the Mexicans have pick-
ed the particular time we wanted
to make a trip to put in several
new bridges, thereby causing the
bus to resort to a washed-out cow-
trail beside the bridge-a-building
through an arroyo—and of course
the ensuing rough ride would be
caused by the driver’s inconsider-
ate carelessness!
Upon reaching the destination,
a Mexican city of considerable size,
everyone (especially the driver)
is very happy, and all dreams are
about to come true. But here it
is that the driver soon finds that
only a few of the streets in the
entire city will accommodate more
than one-way traffic, and none of
the one-way streets are going in
the direction that he wants to go,
so not infrequently he has to
withstand not a little ridicule and
jeers from the occupants of his
vehicle because he tries to con-
vince the driver of some car which
he has met in the middle of a one-
way street (on which he’s headed
in the wrong direction) that the
street really should have been
built to receive traffic from the
direction he’s proceeding, and that
the bus is really much larger than
the mere automobile which claims
to be in the right! And what is
the poor bus driver going to do
when the guide, (the very guide so
courteous as to offer his services
in directing the bus to the hotel
where they wish to spend the
night) insists that all red lights
be ignored on a left turn? Of
course later our driver finds out
from a responsible member of the
Chamber of Commerce or the like
that it is quite definitely against
city rules and regulations (imagi-
nary of course, since there is no
visible evidence of enforcement or
compliance) to turn left or any
other direction on a red light!
Of course the departure from
this teeming metropolis is one that
brings pangs of regret that the
stay had to be so limited, but a
job is a job, so the driver merely
adopts a spirit of resignation to
his fate and pilots his charges
back onto the homeward-bound
road on which the signs read: A
Laredo, Despacio, Alto, Conserve
su Reche, Maximo progreso 100
kms., etc.!
On mountainous descents a little
later everyone is gasping with
awe (and lack of breath from the
high altitude!) at the beauty of
the dangerous (they think) and
circuitous descent while the driver
has his hands (and feet) employ-
ed full-time to make the descent
as safely and slowly (to permit
the more fortunate passengers to
drink in and photograph the
scenery) as possible. After the
foot of the mountain has been
reachedi,; and the motor once
more functions properly, the little
“band” is once more on their
merry way across the rocky ex-
panse of Mexican plains—now
quite certain and convinced that
without their helpful directions
and instructions the driver never
would have been able to get them
this far safely and entirely with-
out mishap!
Not worth mentioning is the
last lap of the trip, which is a
mere 400 miles of grueling driving
accomplished in one day—not to
mention the greater part of the
following night! But what’s sleep,
anyhow, besides being something
which prevents profs from offer-
ing their students in the 8 o’clock
German class toothpicks?
Now the reader is no doubt more
perplexed than ever about the
statement made at the beginning
about the first 1000 miles being
the hardest. Here’s the solution,
which will be understood by any
bus driver. A person can become
accustomed to anything, they say,
so there’s the catch in this game.
At first one resents them, then
becomes indifferent to them, and
finally is able to completely ig-
nore them—from that point on
the task becomes mechanical, un-
influenced from outside sources,
and somewhat of a pleasure be-
sides !
