ATHLETIC COACHING WILL
BE COURSE GIVEN HERE
AT COLLEGE THIS SUMMER
For pi-omoting sports activities in
the high schools, junior colleges and
academies a practical course in
coaching, designated the School of
Athletics, will be given here in the
1921 Summer Session by D. X. Bible,
head coach.
There is a constant and increasing
demand for competent men to di
rect athletics and to coach athletic
teams and the instruction to be giv
en in this course is destined primar
ily for men who desire to learn the
best methods of coaching popular
sports, such as football, basketball,
track and field athletics in the pre
paratory schools.
The course will occupy five weeks,
beginning June 6 and closing July
9, and may be taken along with other
work in the summer school. Both
theory and practice work will be in
cluded.
A part of the lecture work will be
devoted to the theory of athletic
training, treatment of sprains, bruis
es, bandging and first aid. One or
two lectures are to be given on the
organization and direction of ath
letics. Six hours a week theory and
ten hours practice in football for two
weeks; six hours theory and ten
hours practice in basketball for one
week; six hours theory and ten hours
practice in baseball for one week;
six hours theory and ten hours prac
tice in track and field athletics for
one week, are the coursese to be of
fered.
No additional fee will be charged
for this work, but equipment consis
ting of one gym or basketball uni
ball, baseball shoes and tennis shoes,
will be required.
This course carries no credit to
ward graduation.

When Harry Pinson tucked Mil
ler’s long pass in and dodged the re
maining distance for a touchdown,
an old jinx of years gone by was
broken and a precedent established;
for the touchdown meant victory for
the team coached by Jack Mahan,
Captain 1920. A fumbled punt and
a long pass gave the victors their
lone chance and they took due ad
vantage of it. The game looked
quite different in' the first quarter
however, when Buckner, Wallis and
McMillan advanced the ball to the
fifteen yard line where it changed
hands on downs. This was their
last chance to score and they lost it.
Miller, Pinson and Buckner were the
stellar performers for the backfield,
and McMilan was in just time
enough to convince the coaches, spec
tators and judges that he possessed
the stressed qualities of all-company
quarterback. “Bill” was forced to
retire however early in the game as
a result of badly sprained ankle.
Miller’s punting was very consistent,
also his passing, but outside of a
couple of exhibitions, his sweeping
end runs were a bit off-form. Pinson,
the real find of company ball con
tinued his smashing atack off tackle,
and easily earned one of the silver
balls. Buckner too, comes in for his
share in the line plunges, for his ter
rific drives brought the stand to their
feet time after time. Wallis played
a good defensive game, but his in
jured hip kept him from equalling
the feats of the selected. The cadets
would have certainly enjoyed the
battle had Denny and McClennand
been selected on opposite teams, for
both showed real class, but “Me”
was conceded the victor. The selec
tion of guards seems to have never
been in doubt, for both “Fish Red”
Cowan and Homer Carroll have been
mentioned as the star in every game
that they participated in this year.
At tackle, Fish Neeley, was pre-em
inent, with Frank Wendt as his fight
ing mate, this pair bids fair for Var
sity next year. However, they were
not the only men who won for them
selves mention, for the write-up
would be incomplete without men
tioning the services of Kewinn and
Ramsey. The ends were given to
Shiflet and Walker, but Mitchell
made them fight their upmost for the
position.

The game as a whole lacked the
fight that the last company game
displayed. Team-woi’k was a trifle
lacking, but such wjis expected in
view of the numerous substitutions
necessary to give every man selec
ted a chance to show what he had.
The hot weather and dusty field slow

typical of all inter-company contests
the hospital list swelled in propor

THE HERO.
For a few days it was rumored that
a new student was enrolled whose
beautiful symmetry of figure and
fastidious taste of clothes would
easily place him at the very apex of
our social ladder.
Exclamations of admiration and
adoration fell from the lips of more
than one effete member of the fair
sex when she beheld this splendid
structure of physical manhood, stand-

AGGIES
VANQUISH
S. M. U.
MUSTANGS
Both Games Hard Fought, but Poor
ly Played. First Game 15-5.
In the first contest the Aggies had
things pretty much their own way,
but their failure to hit the basket
was so strinkingly peculiar that it ap
proached nothing short of comical.
The visitors too seemed unable to
locate the hoop even at short dis
tances, howevex - , without even the as
sistance of a telescope, Kitts x’ang up
one and Cooper got a free goal. Wil
liams, Hartung and Ehlert singled
and this was the whole job for the
first period. However, in the second
half the Aggies came back fighting
and possessing more accui’ate aim,
and Captain Foi'bes found the cage
on two occasions and made three out
of four chances at free shots. ‘Dutch’
Ehlert made another one, and this
was the total for the Farmers. Coop
er, the Mustang Captain made a
couple of free shots and this com
pleted their display of caging for
the first act. The game was very
fast and hard fought, but the Aggies
had the advantage all the way. Their
passing on the court was up to stan
dard, except in the numerous cases
of mistaken identity, on account of
the similai’ity of the sweaters, but
their shots at the ring was complete
ly off-form.

Second Game 14-13.
This game opened with a rush and
furnished the Aggie stands a frenzy
that they do not care to expexdence
again. Kitts, the fast eager of the
Mustangs, rung up a couple of bas
kets for the visitors and Matthews
folowed with a couple and Cooper
chimed in with a single making the
score of 10 for S. M. U. for the first
half, while a little “phobie” was all
the cadets could pull. The stand
went wild and yelled themselves
hoarse crying for a victory, and their
cries failed to go unheeded, for a
little kinky-headed boy from Hous
ton, named Wiliams made such possi
ble for he rang up goals in one, two,
thi'ee ordei'. Ehlert made one and
Forbes made one giving the Aggies
a 13-12 lead, when “Toda” Forbes
was caught holding, and Cooper tied
the score, but an instant later the
case was reversed, and Captain For
bes made the basket that ended the
game. The game was fast and ex
tremely hal'd fought, and the team
work of the Mustangs seemed to have
been improved over night, but even
at its best it failed to come up to the
criss-cross, zigzag floor work of the
Bible crew. They passed the ball
down the coui’t at will, but lacked
the necessary accui'ateness in their
tossing. Wiliams was the star for
the Aggies, while Kitts won the ad
miration of the cadets.
With this game in hand the Aggies
are now dominating the top floor of
the league with a 833 percentage,
while Baylor and Texas on same
footing of 667 percentage for the sec
ond stoop, the Rice Owls next with
a third and Mustangs 1'esiding in
the cellar with a goose-egg to con
tend with.

Perhaps a day passed before the
startling identity of this 1921 Beau
Brummel was revealed, and the Cam
pus Chat Club was afforded enough
gossip to bore a Big Bertha. The in
dividual who had cut such a swath in
local circles was none other than Wil
liam “Hero” McMillan, erstwhile
ne’erdowell and T-bone athlete.
People at once began figuring
Charlie Nitch’s losses. Charlie was
interviewed by our cub reporter and
made public statement that he wasn’t
ponzied, because he already knew Mc
Millan, and wouldn’t even sell him a
button—though it might hold a re
sponsible position. He further stated
that he would like to press
Bill’s pants provided he was in
them.
Fortunately, collars do not hurt our
Hero’s neck, owing to the elasticity
and turning qualities of celluloid, and
he is rapidly training an efficient pom
padour. It is said that he sleeps in a
skull cap to assist nature and olive oil
in beautifying his pompadour. We
wonder if the next cold wave will
chill him?
Gairrulous busy-bodies have un
earthed startling revelations how Wil
liam could afford to put so much in
clothes besides himself. Some assert
that his father is an oi\ magnate while
others maintain that he owns a res
taurant. Some have gone so far as
foundland, and died accidentally. As
Bill means well; why, naturally, our
young hero is able to drape his ex
terior with tweeds of the finest silk,
and also, wear the insignia of the
union.
This gaudy array of bilious mas
culine attire is not the only notable
change in the habits of our beau
tiful youthful hero; he seems over
charged with the burning desire to be
instrumental in the furtherance of
architecture and for the past two
weeks has been deeply interested in
this particular branch of learning.
We ain’t saying nothin’ but we un
derstand, as stated at the beginning
of this poem, that there is, indeed,
a new pupil in school, and SHE is
studying architecture. We ain’t sayin’
nothin’ else.
