DR. BENJAMIN ERNEST MITCHELL
It is with sincere gratitude that we dedicate this
BOBASHELA to Dr. Benjamin Ernest Mitchell, professor
of mathematics. Dr. Mitchell has given 35 years of
service to making ours a Greater Millsaps, coming to
the college in 1914. He received his A.B, from Scarritt-
Morrisville College, his A.M. from Vanderbilt University,
and his Ph.D. from Columbia University.
During his career at Millsaps Dr. Mitchell has
become a familiar and beloved person to everyone. To
many of us, both students and faculty, he has become a
genuine friend. His qualities are such that one sentence
seems to sum them up admirably -- he is a Christian
gentleman.
So, for these things, as well as other intangibles, we
respectfully dedicate this 1949 BOBASHELA to Dr. B. E.
Mitchell.

Dr. Marion L. Smith' "Smiley" to everyone, is the perfect example of
Millsaps spirit. Never too busy to have a friendly word with every student, his
geniality and kindness have made a lasting impression on our hearts. His.
devotion to Millsaps is an inspiration for the entire student body.
WILLIAM E. REICKEN, Ph.D.
DEAN
A member of Phi Beta Kappa,
Dr. Reicken has a full-time sched-
ule as Dean of the college and
biology instructor; and he serves
equally well in both capacities.
His alert manner and devotion to
Millsaps make him a well-liked
and respected dean.

Under the guidance of chapter president Frank Brown, Theta Eta Zeta of Lambda
Chi Alpha, has built its strength up to an all-time high. With the acquisition of a house,
the Lambda Chi's really went into high gear. President Brown also served the student
body as vice-president, numbering I. R. C. and O. D. K. among his other accomplishments.
Don Key and the Goodsell brothers were stand-outs in the music department, and David
Lightcap was elected Freshman King. Fast becoming famous for their campus-wide ball,
the brothers also elected Betty McNeese as their sweetheart.

the lead on the campus as S.E.B. president, stellar basketball forward, and Who's Who.
Bill Jones racked up another presidency, this time that of the Junior Class. "Little Boll
Weevil" made his appearance; and Brothers Morgan, and Clay took the ladies of their
choice to the altar. The Sig float took first honors at Homecoming, and the brothers made
big plans for a house face-lifting.

Although not a Greek-letter organization the Vikings found its way into this section
as one of the social groups for women.
The Vikings made quite a name for themselves this year under the leadership of their
versatile president, Peggy Billings. Although intramural teams weren't divided by social
organizations, the Viking girls were stars, the brightest being Jean Wynne, Peggy Billings,
Jean Files, and Penny Hardy. Dot Evans represented the group in the national contest for
the sweetheart of National Independent Student Association.
Yvonne Mclnturff was elected a favorite, and Ruth Stockton was tapped into Eta
Sigma Phi.
Parties ranging from a V^/hite Magic Ball to a Country Cousin Get Together enter-
tained the girls.

Kappa Delta wrote off another year done up in best green-and-white tradition. Aber-
nathy proved herself a top BWOC with a finger in everything, including the presidencies
of Sigma Lambda and the Woman's Council and nomination to Who's Who. Swartout,
Sanderson, and Pou rated on the beauty list, Abernathy and East walked away with class
offices, and Hutto and Sanderson were tapped into Sigma Lambda. Tennant became Mrs.
Wiggers early in the year. Walker and Swartout carried the colors in the dramatic field.
Kappa Delta house suppers and parties continued to be known for their good food.

Despite a two win, three loss , one tie record, the Magnificent Majors of 1948 turned in a
strong season for Coach Doby Bartling, with one of the defeats by a single point and the other two
by one touchdown margins. Already graduation had taken its toll of the ex-C,l. studded squad
that had rolled up nine wins against three defeats in the two previous seasons. Youngsters just up
from high school were filling in the gaps, thus weakening the Major's reserve power' and all three
defeats came during the second half when the superior second string strength of their opponents
had worn down the Millsaps old hands.

Already a legendary gridiron figure at Millsaps, Dave
Mcintosh repeated in 1948 on his Little Ail-American
laurels first gained in 1947. Fame first came to Dashing
Dave in high school when his triple threat pyrotechnics
sent the McComb Wildcats undefeated to a Big Eight
championship and a post-season Toy Bowl victory in
New Orleans. Mac rejected all lures to play big time
football and enrolled as a ministerial student at Millsaps
that at the time had no grid squad. Then came Coach
Doby Bartling to Methodist Hill, fresh from piloting the
Vanderbilt Commodores, and between them, they wrote
glowing new pages in the Majors' football history.

€Ae BAND,,
ALDEN DAVIS — Small for a fullback at
just 165 pounds . . . but packs plenty of
whallop ... an old hand In the Major
bivouac, starting in 1944 with the Millsaps
V-12 gridders . . . kicker, blocker and pass
receiver in addition to fine running talents.
MIKE ENCLE — Big Mike . . . six-feet-
four and 205 pounds . . . equally adept at
tackle, though used primarily as an end . . .
known particularly for his great defensive
play in breaking up the opponent's inter-
ference.
ARTHUR WHATLEY — The Whale . . .
Doby's other big end, with 215 pounds
packed on a six-feet-four frame ... a
rugged defensive player ... he, too, alter-
nates occasionally at tackle . . . shows
versatility as first string guard with the
Majors' cage crew.
GEORGE MADDOX — a preacher and a
tackle . . . not given to turning the other
cheek to an opposing lineman . . . brawn
and brains in complete accord here . . .
for stocky Mr. Maddox, with a perfect 3.0
grade average, is Mr. A at Millsaps . . .
graduation carries him off to the seminary,
but his achievements shall linger long among
the Majors.

RAY BELL — linebacker deluxe who plays short shift with enemy ball carriers . . .
Old Man Bell had a field night at Choctawland, even while the Purple was losing,
as he carried on his rough-and-tumble specialty . . . really a fine, friendly guy,
off the gridiron ... all around athletic great . . . top hitter among the Major
baseball crew . . . and a standout pitcher.
JESS WADE — three times letterman end . . . speedy afoot, for downfieid tackling
and pass receiving . . . has a kicking talent, too, that finds expression in a
punting role . . . known, too, as an excellent blocker.
LONNIE DECELL — Alonzo of Vicksburg just looks like a southpaw in his picture
... in reality a right handed pass pitcher . . . and a good one . . . versatility
characterizes Lonnie . . . big enough to handle defensive quarterbacking chores,
he can run as blocking back off the single wing or be the man-up-under in the
"T" ... a very fine guy to have around.
BILLY MANN — Rooster . . . just five-foot-seven from his cleated shoes to his
crewcut topped pate . . . but a key man in the Majors attack, either as a ball
handler or blocking back . . . it's not the size, but the ability that counts . . .
and Rooster is okay.

JABOUR — Tackle
DOUG HAMMOND — prototype of the Major of the future . . . started off as a
tackle his freshman year last season . . . shifted to center this time around and
caught on quickly . . . too much age and experience ahead of him these first two
years . . . but the promise he shows now bodes naught but evil for future opponents
in seasons to come.
GEORGE WILLIAMS — a family man with two little 'uns . . . hefty George shows
little baby sitting kindness towards the enemy . . . chunky Mr. Williams has
already lettered once, and still has a season left . . . with graduation taking so
many of the Majors away, his beefy five-feet-nine, two hundred pounds plus will
be mighty welcome another year.
HENRY CLEMENTS — "local boy makes good" describes Clements and his Mill-
saps grid career ... a native Jacksonian, Henry has made his way in distinguished
fashion with the Majors fine corps of ends . . . with a particularly likeable charac-
teristic known as glue-fingered pass catching . . . had not a penalty nullified the
play, his snagging a Mcintosh aerial in the Sewanee end zone would have added
another triumph to the Majors season record.
JOHN JABOUR — Johnny Jabo, the People's Choice . . . besides holding forth
among the best of the Millsaps linemen, Jabo rates among the best liked personages
On the campus . . . 220 pounds of runaway locomotive on offense ... a non-
budging concrete chunk on defense . . . three times a letterman with the Majors,
and still a year of eligibility left.

STRAIN— Guard
BELL— Tailback
PICOTT — End
I |[ 1
HOWARD— Tackle
E. B. STRAIN — E. B. looks every bit as wide as he is tall when tricked out in
full war regalia ... so squatty the opposition might overlook him at first glance,
his presence is quickly established by a vicious tackle or block seemingly coming
from nowhere . . . made a fine name for himself in his first year with the Purple,
and Coach Bartling looks cheerfully to next year when the little man will be back
again for further duties.
ED BELL — Ding Dong ... far famed as a Major basketeer . . . and as Missis-
sippi's best young tennis player . . . Ding makes his mark in football, too, as a
running specialist ... at his best on punt return with a tricky change of pace style
. . . elusive with a darting, quick turning way of running when able to shake
loose . . . but a savage driver when finally cornered.
OTIS PICOTT — Deadeye's fame, along with Mcintosh, Maddox and others is
firmly established on Methodist Hill . . . Pigott is by far the greatest of the
all-around muscle men at Millsaps ... a first stringer in all sports . . . small for
a football player, particularly an end, Otis makes up the difference in speed and
terrific competitive spirit . . . his style of play brings a multitude of injuries to
Pigott, but his unflagging spirit carries on despite the weaknesses of the flesh.
HECTOR HOWARD — husky Hector never played any high school football . . .
a handicap that held him back when he decided to have a crack at the Purple's
varsity . . . but steady work in learning a lineman's duties have brought his quick
development as a standout tackle, who has proven his value often for the Majors.
BAILESS — Center
BRITT — Halfback
[[HP
T" "p^
OREN BAILESS — when graduation took away the Ma-
jors second squad Little All-American Center John Christ-
mas, sophomore "Catfish" Bailess stepped into the breach
like he owned it . . . and he did . . . Bailess was nothing
ess than brilliant in his first season as a starter, both on
offense and as a rugged linebacker, teaming with Ray
Bell . . . having so capable a youngster at hand kept the
OSS of Christmas from ever being too seriously felt.
R. C. BRITT — an All-Big Eight great when Coach
Doby was helping turn out championship squads at
Meridian High, Britt has been a Godsend to the Majors
who have benefited much from his extensive experience
. . . played freshman ball at Ole Miss in 1941 in a dream
backfield of Charlie Conerly, Doug Kenna, Buddy Bowen
and Britt . . . R. C. masterminded the Major attack from
his wingback slot ... as well as proving a sturdy de-
fensive halfback.
BILLY WINANS — The Canton Crusher ... a one-man
gang on the right side of the Major line . . . for three
years he has been a mainstay in making the Millsaps line
the dangerous unit that it has proven to be for a lengthy
list of opponents . . . little sorrow is evidenced among
opponents that have been on the receiving end of his
bone shattering tackles and blocks on hearing Billy is due
to leave the Majors.
CHARLES RAMSEY — just in this season from the
Hinds Junior College Eagles, Charlie quickly established
himself as a most capable guard, even though the Majors
were blessed with much talent at that line spot . . . the
greatest regret is that Ramsey will not be with the
Purple for, say, about three more seasons.

Bright light of the Major basketball world, Cordon (Motor)
Carr, suffered from injuries of one sort or another all season
long, and Millsaps' cage record suffered accordingly. The
Ma.'ors nailed down five wins, one being a forfeit from Lambuth,
against I 5 defeats, while Carr averaged a mite better than 1 5
points a game in the 1 4 contests in which he took part. High
point of the season was the single win over the Choctaws,
49-31, while the low spot came in the Dixie Conference tourney
held at City Auditorium when Tampa's eventual champion
Spartans rolled over the Majors, 81-55.

Millsaps' 1949 diamond season had a fine beginning with a 12-10 win
over the Stetson Hatters and ended nicely with a 5-2 plastering of hated Mis-
sissippi College, but in between things didn't go so well. After the Majors had
taken two of their first three games, they ran headlong into an eight games
losing streak. Two straight wins over the Merchant Marine Academy at Pass
Christian righted the staggering fortunes of the Purple who then capped the
season with the victory over the Chocs. Two 7-6 losses to the Choctaws were
the toughest parts of a season that ended with five wins and nine defeats on
the Majors' record. Top hurlers for Millsaps were Ed Wiles (2-2) and Ray
Bell (1-1 ), while Bell led the hitters with a neat .385 average. First season
stars with the Purple were Wiles, Shortstop George Kurts, Second Baseman
Charlie Wiggers and Outfielder-Pitcher Bell, while veterans Billy Johnson,
Ralph Hays and Otis Pigott closed out their careers with the Millsaps nine in
standout fashion.

Some of the objectives of the
girls' intramural program at Millsaps
are: to provide opportunity for fun
and relaxation, to provide healthful
exercise, to promote leisure educa-
tion, to enrich social competence,
and to develop group loyalties. A
part of each person's leisure time
should be devoted to wholesome
physical activity. Intramurals pro-
mote skills in various games and
sporst intended for use in adult life.
Intramurals establish group relation-
ships in situations of vital interest
to students. Proper organization and
conduct of these activities facilitate
the development of such desirable
qualities as sportsmanship, coopera-
tion, self-reliance, friendliness, etc.

Devotion to a cause enables a person
to put forth his best efforts, sub-
jugating individual interests to the
welfare of the group.
This year's participation in intra-
mural sports has been organized on
a different system from previous
years. Formerly teams were com-
posed of members of different social
organizations; now, team members
are comprised of all girls who are
interested in sports and are eager to
participate in them. Captains of the
teams are chosen by the Majorette
Club, local girls' athletic honorary.
Team spirit, cooperation, and good
sportsmanship have been enthusias-
tically displayed among the students.
