Austin Theological College, is
vice president of the board OF
Schreiner at Kerrville, and he has
served as chairman of the Defense
Service Council for the state from

The minister, whose service

owes his call to San Antonio to a
fraternity brother, the late Bert
DeMontmollin, formerly associat-
ed with the San Angelo National

The Rev. Mr.. Wood had just ac-

well as the people generally. On
being told that he was going to

Now So, the minister looks back
to 1915 as one of his big years.
That was the year he was mar
ried to Elizabeth Nettles, he was
ordained TO the ministry and he
has preached continuously since
that time. He accepted his first
pulpit work at Abbeville in that
year and he has been in that kind
of work continuously since July
/ of that year.
List of Degrees
He received his bachelor of arts,
master of arts and bachelor of
divinity degrees from Southwest
ern Presbyterian University in
The Chronicle-star combined with the Moss Point advertiser., 1947-11-07

1914 and 1915, and he received an
honorary DID degree in 1926 from
Howard Payne College. The last
year in the seminary, he passed
everything with distinction save
philosophy. Now he characterizes
his philosophy as being at least
wholesome, though it may not be
very scientific.
His family consists of the Rev.
Eugene Wood, now a minister at
Hillsboro; B. Oliver Wood in the
wholesale paper business here and
J.. Timothy Wood, now with Sears
at Honolulu.
This ends a 25-year chapter in
the life of a man who once set
down as his ambition for San An
gelo-to make of it a delightful,
Christian community in which
good people can live happily. Be-
cause of his outstanding contrib
ution to it, he is going to get at
least one week of appreciation.

with Center Colleges Praying
Colonies under 30 Mcmillan. 1t
was Gordy, for instance, who
took out the safety man to per-
NIT a running mate to score on
Harvard, starting the greatest
football upset of the age.
In Local League
Coming here he organized a
Sunday School League baseball
team which played in 1928 and
1924, he being one of the players.
He started at officiating at foot
ball games here the first Saturday
he was here, being head lines
man. Then the field was out by
the railroad track just off Baker
street, the old Concho baseball
park. The onlookers ran up and
down the sidelines and frequently
came out on the playing field,
making it necessary to stop the.
game while the enthusiastic ones
were shooed back out of the
way. Bob Crowther and Vaughan
Miller were participating officials
in many games with the minister.
The field was covered with rocks
and many a player lost a goodly
chunk of hide, occasioning fire.
quent times out, he recalls.
I'VE had great fun back in the
Sunday School League" he re-
calls, noting some good players
of that day. Grady Mathison was
catcher, Louis Hall at first, Vos-
burg Hall at short, John McLau-
rim pitcher, Homer Casey at third,
"Cooter" Flanagan, Theron Wright
and Charley Saston in the field.
Wood was at second. This team
won in 1923, but the minister does
not remember the winner of the
succeeding year. He played sew
eral years on the Kiwanis soft
ball team, but withdrew in 1945
when he figured his age was be-
ginning to catch up with his ath-
letic ambitions.
Quail Hunting Tops"
Golfing cronies here provided
many happy hours-Dr. W. P.
Menzies, j. S. Hixson, c. w. Hobbs
and r. A. Hall. Their deaths re-
moved the luster of the sport.
When his father was alive, the
Rev. Mr.. Wood made frequent
vacation trips back to the old
home at Moss Point, Miss, where
the fishing was always fine. One

more of financial obligation than
it was able to meet, and he was
told do as you think best"

the minister and his family we're
on the way to San Angelo. The

A program has been worked
out by members of civic clubs
here to carry through.
The minister was a four-star
sportsman-he played football,
baseball, tennis, and basketball
at college and he still plays tennis
and finds time for hunting and

create moral sentiment for the
junior college here in the 1920's,
making numerous talks in behalf
of educational leadership. He
helped to put local charities on a
professional basis and many times
went with c. R. Fox in the days
of the volunteer charity urganiza-
ton. Direct contact was then the
method of relieving the poor. He
organized a Boy Scout troop as
soon as he arrived here. He had
been Scoutmaster at Abbeville
from 1915 to 1922. He has serv-
ed on the boards of the Tom
Green County tuberculosis Asso-
citation, the Crippled Children's
Society, and the Community Ser
vice Association.
Sports Sideline
The Rev. Mr.. Wood made a
success, too, of his enjoyable side
line-sports. He played baseball
on a high school team several
years, lettered thrice in college
basketball and football and four
times in baseball. He entered
the University of Mississippi in
1903 intent on learning law, trans
ferred to Southwestern Presby-
terrain University in 1910, the
school then being at Clarksdale,
Tenn. 1t is now at Memphis. 1t
was there he achieved distinction
in sports, being captain of the
baseball team in 1914 that beat
Sewanee, Mississippi University,
Kentucky State, and Alabama.
Half of the boys on hat team
went into professional baseball
and the Rev. Mr.. Wood had the
same opportunity.
While attending Southwestern,
he had opportunity to coach the
GAINESVILLE High School football
team. For this he received $50.
Abbeville organized a football
team and he was the coach there
for five years, a fact that gave
him a vicarious thrill throughout
the years because of the success
of two outstanding players, Minos
Gordy and Murrell Summers,
