Two scrlmmnges with the McMurry
Indians were held this past week one
In the Corral and the other In their
gym. An informal score kept in thu
first scrimmage here ended about
even. But the next day on their home
couit the Indians insisted that the
score be kept. And were their faces
red when the scrimmage ended 00-48
in favor of the Cowboys.
The freshman held a scrimmage
with the ACC freshmen there Tucs-
doy. The score was 41-41 when the
playing stopped. Coach Jones start-
ed a combination of Smith Markhelm
Chishulm Mullins and Cowser. These
boys look like they may have a win-
ning team this year.
In addition to his reputation as a
coach Fiank Kimbrough is making
quite a name for himself as a speak-
er. He had two engagements the
past week . . . Tuesday at Seymour
and Thursday at Hamlin. Said one
paper: "Kimbrough has a wide repu-
tation as a speaker as well as coach-
ing a team that was . . . unbeaten.
Hill Amo member of the basketball
squad and sports editor of the Brand
has u new guard for his glasses. In-
cidentally Amo has quite a group of
rooters judging from the cheers and
calls for him at the games.
One of the sports that 'does not
receive the attention it ought to on
the campus Is tennis. Last year Coach
Bnllaul turned out a team unbeaten
in eleven meets. . . . Prospects for a
second undefeated season are bright
with the leturn of C. H. Boyd co-
holder of the West Texas doubles
championship; Jack 'Wallace former
T. A. A. F. and Texas State Junior
doubles champion who was quarter-
finalist in the Southwest Intcrcolle-
giatcs; nnd James King co-holder of
the West Texas Junior doubles title.
Among the victims last year was Tex-
as Tech Border conference champions.
The Cowboys came out victorious In
two matches with the Red Raiders this
fall.
The win Tuesday night made the
24th straight victory on thchome
court for Frank Kimbrough's teams.
The strong Includes ten straight at
home In '30 12 In '37 and two this
year. The record of Coach's teams:
wins losses pet.
1035-30 '. 18 0 .750
1030-37 10 1 .940
1037-38 2 0 1.000
The return game with Howard
Payne will be played the night of
January 25. It has also been tenta-
tively arranged that a game with
Daniel Baker will be played the next
night.
The football squad has started
working out. . . . They meet an hour
each afternoon under Coaches Beard
and Jarnigan to start getting In con-
dition. . . . With these preparations it
looks like the team Is In earnest about
next year's games. ... It seems like
they're pointing for Centenary. . . .
A possible reason why so many
shots especially free throws were
missed in the Howard Payne game
may bo this; It was recently noticed
that the goals seemed rather high and
a measurement showed that one was
4 inches too high and the other 2V4.
These were lowered the day before
the L'ume. It was entirely in order
for Bud Reeves to sink the winning
goal. Bud was Captain by Coach's
appointment for this clash with a
traditional foe.

LESA WILLIAMS has been nearly
her old sweet self this past week. No
chasing after boys in her car no
fighting with her girl friend over

that have kept her in the spotlight
for so long. We heard that It. K.

from an operation. Maybe that is
the reason If so we hope that he
stays here from now on. Lcsa has
been swell this week.
LEV HUDSPETH rates the compli-
ment of the week. He has had so mo
pretty raw deals and still mannges to
like every one as well afterwards as
befoie. Lev always tends to his own
business nnd TALKS to no one. We
slr.corcly regret to see him go nnd
will assure him that he leaves many
good friends behind. So nil we enn
say is more power to you LEV; may
there be more like you.

Tops
As the outstanding athlete of 1037
we'll take Slingin' Snmmy Bnugh the
lad from Sweetwater who started
slinging things from his cradle and
just for practice at a fairly early
age spent many a weary hour tossing
footballs through an automobile tire
nt 50-75 paces. Baugh in his frosh-
mnn year in tho pro ring drew down
a thousand bucks n game and is her-
alded to be the greatest player in
swincskin history. Bnugh pcrcnninl
favorite with fans in New York Hon-
olulu and Roscvllle California seems
to be making the pigskin game a per-
ennial affair. The Baughskins from
the Capitol city are appearing in
Frisco's Boznr stadium tomorrow for
n game with coast All-Americnns nnd
in the Cotton Bowl for a return melee
with tho Chicago Bears next Sunday.
They're still at it. Coach Wisdom's
Plowhoys from J TAC we mean. The
boys from Tarleton made it 80 bas-
ket games in a row last week by wind-
ing up a heartbreaking series with
San Angclo Junior College the team
that defeated them some 3 or I years
ago. The lads have won 93 out of
the last 91 hoop games.
And Alton Terry javelin star
and mid-term graduate from Har-
din-Simmons may turn from
spear tossing for a spell at least.
Terry is considering a coaching
position.
Baseball Hatter
Theoretically nt least football sea-
son has passed and now and then
there appears on sports pages enough
room to drop n hint or so about the
baseball trading business which pub-
licity or no is on the rampant. The
stove league gossip indicates that the
St. Louis Cards have 1400 baseball
players on their string. That the St.
Louis Browns can't get rid of Gnhby
Street as manager until the end of
the '38 season. That Jimmy Walker
former mayor of New York cancelled
nnother tour of Europe to negotiate
further in the purchase of the Brook-
lyn Dodgers. Mnybe insufficient
funds could be one explanation of the
Dodgers' monopoly on tho league cel-
lar for the last few seasons.
We see by the pnpers that II-
SU is again invited to enter the
Southwestern A. A. U. basketball
tournament to be held Feb. 28 to
March 4 at S. M. U. in Dallas.
Defending champs will be the
Slaton Oilers who handed the
Cow boB their only defeat of last
year.

Athlete Versus Coach
By Alton Terry
One of the most essential qualifi-
cations of n good conch is to create a
friendly attitude between himself and
his athletes nnd it is impossible for
him to do so unless he associates
with them off the field of play as well
ns on.
In my experience "with different
coaches I have noticed that the most
successful coach is the one who be-
comes one of the boys. He gains the
confidence of the athlete. He does
not try to "sort sonp" the nthlete by
making various promises.
Misunderstanding
I have seen conches who knew
their boys only by their athletic abil-
ity. This leads to much misunder-
standing the boys really don't know
whnt to expect of such a coach and
the conch should not expect thu best
from the boys.
Again the coach cannot be success-
ful unless the boys are willing to obey
his orders and do not try to become
smarter than their coach. When the
athlete becomes smarter than his
coach then the conch should start to
school and let the nthlete take charge
of the team. There is nothing so dis-
gusting ns a boy who is always find-
ing fault with his coach usually this
fellow is below the average in both
athletics and scholnstic standings.
Training Rules
Whnt should the coach take into
consldcrntion when he sets down the
training rules for his team? This is
one question which is very difficult
to answer. If the athlete has some-
thing worth while to work for the
conch will have very few rules to
make. In this case the nthlete must
be determined to mnke good for in
stance I have seen boys from small
schools who had no coach at all yet
through their determination they be-
came leading athletes.
No athlete is going to keep all
training rules and the coach should
take this into consideration when he
metes out his punishment for the vio-
lation of some rule. Not so long ago
a freshmnn football player was kick-
ed out of a certain school because he
failed to report to work once. This
wns very much the lack of consid
eration on the part of the coach. If
the coach thinks nn athlete is not cap-
able of making his team he should
not look for some minor fnult to dis
miss him but wait until the end of
the semester and give tho boy nn hon-
ornble discharge.

Following the skating party last
week members of the student council
are petitioning the administration for
securing $300 for n loan fund of the

provements on the enmpus.
Details of the proposed recreation

son and Mahuron.
Sam Oatman Hnrry McRae Stormy

Truett Bryant had to show his bea-u-ti-ful
form on roller skates.
Hall Girls Relax
Despite the falls and the resulting
bruises everyone seemed to hnve a
good time. Even the hall girls were
permitted to relax and wear socks.
Of course it has been rumored that
some of the boys nearly killed them-
selves playing pop-the-whip but they
always came up smiling. After all it
must have been child's play compared
to football so stop worrying girls
they won't break so easily.
May wc thank the Student Council
for promoting the affair and ask the
question that is going 'round the
campus "When are we gonna do it
again?"

By Harper Van Ness
Bud Reeves' one-hand shot in the
five seconds kept n two year record
intact Tuesday night and the Cow-
boys revenged n football tie by de-
feating the Howard Payne Yellow
Jackets 28-20. The record is that the
basketball teams under Coach Frank
Kimbrough have never lost a game
on the home court.

the locals with five field goals a total
of 10 points; "Shorty" Payne was
runner-up with nine points.

Payne jumped to nn early lead by
sinking four free shots while Reed
made two for the Cowboys.
Reeves made the first field goal
from just outside the free throw cir-
cle after nine minutes of playing time
had elapsed. Field goals by Wilson
nnd Woods made the score G-all. Free
shots by Knudson nnd Payne kept the
score knotted.
Payne Sinks Two
Then two quick field goals by Payne
put the Cowhands nhead but this lead
was soon overcome by goals by Wil-
son and Strictlnnd and n charity toss
by Knudson.
HI'C Leads at Half
A free throw by "Speedy" Marshall
and a field goal by Strictlnnd mnde

one-handed shot; Reeves did the same.
Payne then ndded n free throw nnd
n jump shot from under the basket.
Todd ndded a free throw to make the
score 25-22 with the Yellow Jackets
still leading. Knudson made his
seventh free toss for the Jackets' last
