Special Train To
Hornets Here
A special train has been chartered
to bring the entire student body of
N. Ti A. C, and some five hundred
fans and faculty to Stephenville
Thursday, the train will, arrive
Plowboys journeyed to Arlington
band and entire student body. Tar-
leton will show the N. T. A. C. stu-
dents wha: sports we arc and we
'vail also meet their train. While
those two foot bad teams are . on
the gridiron, we are enemies but
just as soon as that last whistle
blows, we are friends, so don't [for-
get that.
; / ^Interpretation or an i
, , ideal chapel address
It' gives us an unfathomable and
- lasting joy to have the privilege of
ing joy to have the privilege of
looking into your , bright sunshiny
faces and telling you to BEAT
GRUBBS. ;
- In the -.few moments that 'is. ours,
to speak to 'you and to tell you to
BEAT GRUBBS we would like to
say "first of all, BEAT GRUBBS.
Furthermore along the same line,
: to not only Beat Grubbs, but win
State Championship. In.,this, race
for State Championship comes, of
course, the" fact that we must BEAT
GRUBBS.
In the past years Tarleton. has
: always had an excellent football
iteam. The principles for which
this team fights are clean, high class
sportmanship, and to Beat Grubbs.
Never before in the history of Tar-
leton has a team made such an
.enviable record as that of" the pres-
ent team. So far, her goal line has
been crossed by only one team one
time, and then only by an. usual turn
of fate. The score at the present
time stands 186-7. This should be
highly indicative to BEAT GRUBBS.
As our time is fastly, passing
away we must cut this talk short.
Again we must say that the pleasure
of addressing you and telling you
to BEAT GRUBBS can be excelled
by one thing only and 'that'is-td
really BEAT GRURffe.
senior home
The Senior Home girls are always
well represented at the pep meetings
and we will all be there , when
Grubbs is carried off the field on
Turkey Day.
Annie Laura Duke spent the week
end with her parents at Gustine.
Ruth Dominy had a birthday last
week. We .wnder who gave?* her the
presents?,??
We didn't know that ■ we' did' have
such charming personalities in our
midst until Wilma and Thelina im-.
personated the opposite sex at. the
Man less Dance.
Jack: "Oh,, . I had the: most
charming blind date last night.
Miss Lillard: "Well, honey, was
he blind?" ^ '
LISTEN PLOWBOYS
Tomorrow we have the game. It
still lies in the future, and yet each
and everyone of us is as sure, of
the outcome as if it had been play-
ed yesterday. There is only one
possible outcome. Tarleton Wins-—
and Grubb's score is nothing. So
you see the psychology of the sit-
uafion'ls "this: If we believe"' a
thing hard enough -it is half accom-
plished. Therefore we shall win<
Though the game last. week_ was
^bloWf"W#'fiavg' ^LreifovSfS'dt
We are back with a bigger determin-
ation than ever. And although the
Baylor Cubs can crow over the fact
that they crossed our goal line, they
cannot say they won the game. We
played a team that completely out-
classed lis and we. think we did well
to make'* such a creditable showiHgi
Don't you believe .that way?
b, d. g. club
Sam, .old man, we're so Sorry for
you that we don't know what to do.
We realize as much as you do what
Grubb's game ment to you.
And Gapt. Al, we're sorry for
your accident too,, and we' hope it
isn't going to keep you out of the
game tomorrow.
Old learn, wo all feel deeply for
you who suffered injuries fighting
for .us. And you must know that
we are back of you, fighting harder
than. ever.
Tomorrow is Turkey Day, the day
of days, the big feed, the holiday
and the Grubbs game. Isn't it going
to';be one glorious day for us? And
we shall be covered with victory.
Cow will horn his Hornct oot.
So let us fight, with all our will.
And we'll beat 'em if we can.
We'll make 'em jump plumb off the
hill.
- We'll lick 'em to every man.
•" Please, : please, gang, be there
early with your yellin' togs on and
ready to go. It's soft music and
slow walkiri' for Grubbs after to-
morrow.
Jack,is going to find that hole and
make a touchdown.
Fred is now doing special ser-
vice at the dump. He is becoming
adept in the service of soup!
Hike has developed a .taste for a
dark, curly bob and dark brow
eves! Isn't it grand?
Bean Davis—'Jever hear about
the fellow that bet he could eat
fifteen hamburgers?
... Cannon—No. What happened?
Bean Davis—He won the bet,
but lost the hamburgers.
Sam's spirit is going to make
those Plowboys win.
Owing to pertain lefters received
last week things have heen picking
up right smartly over at the Eco
Building. Mpre brooms and dust
cloths have been in order than any
time previous* ,to the said period.
OneA fellow in particular has been
exceptionally^ busy, and. that is
"Dust Foot" Myers. He seemed to
be some worried over the matter but
here is hoping that he has no gray
Kairs as result , of the experience.
He had a date the other night and
seems to be ii£ a little better humor
calls himself the "Dean of Women,"
is just a little bit egotistical these
days, and I think that the title fits
him perfectly. He claims to know
women. He ought to, he is always
hanging around theni. For instance
Sunday afternoon in the Big Stude-
.baker, just :ask him ;about that. Then
there comes " Senior Wilkins, The
dady of them all, as the old saying
goes. He dosera't have much time
to look after his children, as he
has his schedule pretty filled up
with his Essay lad. This takes up
all his time, practically, and we
have been running wild lately, but
nothing rash has happened as yet,
though we hijve trying to stir up
sqrtiething for the longest. Just
watch us though, we will open up
a keg of nails some day, and when
we do, just look out for jus and
give us the road.

SPECIAL NOTICE
The Agette Club is sponsoring,
on Thursday, of this week, tht sales
of; "Souvenir Score-Boards" for the
Tarleton Grubbs game. Profits of
these sales are to go to "Tubby"
Taylor, fighting Tarleton full back,
and to the Agettes. The larger per-
cent of the profits is to go to Tay-
lor who will not be permitted to
play'"in the game, Thursday on ac-
count, of injuries, sustained -in the
game with the cubs. .
The score board this year is by
far, the . most original one ever of-
fered. Joi; sale. Advertisements from
the . various business houses, feature
some particular Plowboy, and the
cleverness- with which the advertise-
ments are written, is, in itself a rea-
son for wishing.to our one, of these
souvenir score-pads.
/flie pads geature Jennings' pic-
Lure in the center ,of the front, and
the tentative starting eleven of both
teams on either, side of the picture.
Places for scores are reserved at the
bottom of the page.
The Agettes start; their sale at 8;
o'clock Thursday morning. . A lim-
ited number of these, souvenirs are
ori hand. Be siire to bring your
twenty-five cents for the pad , early
in the day. "Tubhy gets the ^pjro^Uj
you get a souvenir that you'll al-
ways keep!! '
This aspiring little club. has been
kept busy during the past four
weeks in its struggle for existence
and recognition. The constitution
and! administrative matters have
been about finished. Formal recog-
nition is now being sought. Due
to difficulty in maintaining order in
the meetings, a new office was
created. This is Seargeant-at-arms,
and George Dewald was elected to
fill it. Frank A. Buckley was elect-
ed permanent J-Tac reporter so that
a wegJ^Jy .wite-up; won|d b& assured.
v-Iad-.-readers have perhaps noticed
that our' temporary 'reporters have
so far failed to produce the goods.
The C. C. C. is just now emerg-
ing as a real live organization. Much
enthusiasm for future activities was
expressed in the latest meeting, and
we hope to put our little club on
the-map soon.
We are all down and out over the
outcome of the Cub-Plowboy game,
but we can hardly wait for the one
with Grubbs, Only one more day
until the Grubb worms will be
trampled underfoot: Pour it on
Grubbs!
listen, gang!
Are we discouraged over last
Thursday's game? Are we going to
let the fact that our goal line was
crossed dim our eyes in looking wor-
ward to State Championship? NO!
Did' you ever see a team fight as
hard and as earnestly, and with, such
undying determination as ours did
against the Cubs? NO; and you
never will.
Some of our men were badly hurt
in that game, but gang, they are liv-
ing for, and are putting every ounce
of their soul's power into the rest of
that team, to make them fight that
much harder. They are out of the
game, but they are still fighting and
they are going to play a mighty big
part in that game tomorrow.
Now, gang, what are we going to
do to Grubbs tomorrow? First, we
are going to welcome them heartily
and show them the hospitality due
a guest. Next, we're .going to lead
them to an awfuj slaughter on .Hays
Field. Lastly, we are going to send
them home defeated and saying that
we are the,, hardest fighting gang
they ever met.
Listen Plowboys, we're''behind you
heart and soul. We'll be behind
you until the last whistle of the
chanipionship game. And then, no
matter what the score, we will un-
hesitatingly place your names first
on the list of all former Plowboys.
GET THOSE HORNETS.

Thursday afternoon'"■ some 1,500
Football fans saw the hardest grid-
iron battle; that th<y Plowboys have
played this year. It. was in this
game, also, that they saw TarletonV
goal line crossed by the dimunitive
Wier Washam, a Wac.o Hi Star of
last year. He caught a perfect pass
for 25 yards and marred the per-
fect record of the Plowboys. It
was also' in this battle that the
Plowboys lost the services of Sam
put him on the sick list for the rest
of the season. Fitzhtigh playing the
greatest game of ; his career, sus-
tained a brokeni eoilar bone which,
put him on the •■sick"'" list the rest
of the season. Although .there are.
subs on the sideline, none can fill
the big hole left Vacant by Chock.
This year has been the best of
his three years on the Club, and
his absence is likely to be felt in
the game on Turkey Day.
It was also in the second quar-
ter that Jennings was replaced by
Davis on account of a broken fin-
ger, Later, in the fourth quarter,
Captain, Jennings came back into
the game with his finger bandaged
and fought until: the/last whistle. All
will be back on Turkey Day and.
the Hornets Will know that he is
there." - ■ ' -. > • •
Robert and Taylor, made the
longest runs for the Plowboys Tub-
by carried the ball, lip the sideline
from, the 20 yard line to the 50"
yard line, ' and later ' on Roberts
broke through for a.:45 yard run,
carrying the ball to the 1 yard line.
On the next play he' plunged over
the line for a touchdown.
Patton, Johnson and Tubby Tay-
lor were not played but a short
while for fear of being injured.
The "Four' Horseman" are being
saved for Thanksgiving Day, when
they will be turned loose. Marr *
generaled his team well and played
a great game.
Houghton showed up fairly well,
and next year this young man from
Caddo is dvie for., a great season,
for he is fast. College football is
new to him and1 he is1] fist now find-
ing out what . it, is. all about.
In the line, both Clubs held like
stone walls, and v'ery few first
downs were: made through them.
About the only gains made were
passes and end • runs.
In. Ootid, ..Coach Bridgesis going
to have a real punter. His best
punt of the day1 went for 65 yards '
and the others averaged about.40
yards. Charlie Taylor, another Wa-
co Hi product, has a "million dol-
lar" toe. Once from the (yard-line
he missed a place kick 45 by incites,
and again, from a difficult angle,
he missed another from the 35
yard line. Sims played a good game
at quarter, and the Cub's touchdown
was due to his accurate passing.
In the last of the game, just
as Sims, received the ball andi start-
