Scholz Bier Garten
In 1866, German immigrant August Scholtz built this structure as a
meeting place for those interested in song and social activities. In 1966,
a resolution was passed by the Texas House of Representatives, which
identified it as "a gathering place for Texans of discernment, taste, culture,
and erudition, epitomizing the finest traditions of magnificent German
heritage in our State." William Sydney Porter [O’ Henry] sang here
with the Hill City Quartette.

Graduation Rates. From the most recent batch of graduation rates available
from the NCAA report released in 2003, the rate was divided by ten for a score.
For example, Bowling Green's most recently released graduation rate for football
players was 42%, so it gets a score of 4.2. This is a good indicator for how much
emphasis a program places on academics rather than simply using the football
players for their on-the-field talents.
Dick ‘Night Train’ Lane
b. April 16, 1928, Austin, TX
d. Jan. 29, 2002, Austin, TX
Selected the best cornerback of the NFL's
first fifty years in a 1969 poll of sportswriters,
Lane was an unlikely prospect when he
walked into the Los Angeles Rams training
camp in 1952 and asked for a tryout. He had
played at little Scottsbluff Junior College in
Nebraska and then spent two years in
the army. As a rookie, he intercepted 14
passes in 12 games, still the NFL record,
running them back for 298 yards and 2
touchdowns. After an off year in 1953, Lane
was traded to the Chicago Cardinals, and
he responded by again leading the league in
interceptions with 10. He remained with the
Cardinals through 1959, then went to the
Detroit Lions. He retired after the 1965 season.
An All-Pro in 1956, 1960, 1961, 1962, and
1963, Lane had 68 interceptions in his 14
NFL seasons, returning them for 1,207 yards
and 5 touchdowns.
