FOOTBALL PROSPECTS
.. . FOB COMING SESSION
Although no one is in apositionto
Cell much about the team for the com-
ing season, due to the fact that some
twenty out of the squad of twenty-five
will be new men, the coaches are
rather optimistic over the . outlook.
Durirtg-the-past six years, the coaches
have faced new squads many times,
and -in some way" managed to mould
Creditable teams out of the raw ma-
terial. .This may be a wonderful year,
and it is sure to be a good year.
" Among the old men to be back are
Captain "Gow"'Menzies, guard; Pat-
ton;'half; Hbughton, half; Boyd, cen-
ter; Davis, end; and probably Rogers,
•wonder guard; and Marr, quarter,
With these seven letter men. back, the
coaches will have something around
which to build. From last year's Jim
Warn, will come McCoy, half and full;
Phifer,. end; Bacon, guard; Neeley,
guard. McMurray, from the reserves,
-will be lighting it for an end position,
and in spite of his light weight, is one
of the best men in prospect, Culpep-
per ,big tackle from former years, and
Lockhart, a tackle from last year's
high school, will be on hand, and these
two men are expected', to deliver iii
every respect. From the new men,
Evans, two huridrer and five pounder
from Fort Worth, looks like a wonder,
au do Intz, tackle; Pruitt, full, from
Itasca. Two local men will be lighting
for a center job, Davis and: Neblett,
botli mighty good men in every way.
And Law-son. from Post, tackle; and
<ail, from-Orange, .the wonder center
"from Squth Texas, should add lots of
strength to the team. And, of course,
there will be a host of new men whom
h V one has heard about who will be on
hand for berths as Plowboys. 1
The training camp will begin Sep-
tember 12, and will be held on the
College athletic field. As iri former
years, some forty or fifty will make
the camp. All the coaches,--Wisdom,
head coach, and Hudspeth and Frazier,
assistant coaches,—will be at the,
camp, and lots of work is in store for
the men. Fast work will be the order
of. the day, as ,the season opens . Oc-
i tober 8, .with • the Baylor Bears, at
Waco, A definite schedule can not be
announced at this time, .but games
with the McMurray Indians, Meridian,
North Texas Aggies, Hillsboro Junior
College, Wichita Falls Junior College',
and Baylor are already scheduled. De-
catur apd Weatherford, both owing
home gaines, evidently do hot want to
play the Plowboys, while the home
game with Westminster is also uncer-
tain, although these games were on
the card sometime ago. We would
think that this year, with many new
men, would be a fine time for some of
the schools to get revenge on the
Plowboys, and it appears that Weath-'
erford and Decatur are passing up a
golden opportunity.' "
Old men everywhere, and old stu-
dents aa well, should make an effort
to line up some good material before
the camp starts, and send them on.
And do not forget that basketball,
baseball, track, and tennis are just aa
important, as the college will continue
the policy of keeping all the five major
sports on an even basis, and will not
stress any one sport to the detriment
of any other. Just tell them that no
other school in the State, whether
high sehool, college, or university, has
the consistent record of Tarleton in
all the major sports.
TARLETON MAKES PLANS FOR
EX-STUDENTS* ASSOCIATION
It is nearing the close of summer
school. There" are- ti: great many
seniors and others who will not be In
Tarleton next year. But wouldn't
you like to know something of what
the other ex-students are doing, even
though you cannot be here?- Of
course you would. Then the only
thing to do is to join the Ex-Students'
Association. The purpose of the or-!
ganization is to keep in touch with the
institution and those who have left its
halls, but who still love it. If you are
a loyal Tarletonite, and of course you
are, you want to know something of
Tarletonites and ex-Tarletonites no
matter where you may be.
SUMMER SCHOOL STUDENTS
YouKno\jv—
That we have had as great and good instructors as we eould
have obtained in any college in the state. Our teachera have
taken an interest in each student; his individual problems have
been their care. We, as students, have accomplished much in
work. In fact, the ^scholarship in Tarleton this summer has
been above the average. There is a pleasant environment in
our college. We haVe a beautiful campus with many won-
derful spots to tell "Him" or "Her" one's plans for the future
years. There is neither too much work nor too much play.
There have been many pleasant but wholesome recreations.
The moral standards have been high. We have many churches
that are interested in. the spiritual side of college life.
- That there is a certain feeling existing around this institu-
tion that one cannot express. r When one gets this feeling, he
has the "Tarleton Spirit." The'Purple and White have cer-
tain meanings—the purple, we aay, stands for the bravery and
the loyalty of the boys and the white for the purity of the girls.
ON YE TARLETON inspires the students every time it is play-
ed and sung because it is symbolical to them all that is best in
their college.
Will You—
Respect the college song, "ON YE TARLETON?" Live up
to the standards of the college? Strive to Jceep the-symbols \
of the "Tarleton colors" true?. - >
Tell others about John Tarleton, about the Tarleton spirit,
and the moral standards here ? ' EneOiirage and persuade more
students to. come to this: institution ? ' Tell those high school
graduates at home that we have, the best and largest Junior 1
Agricultural College in the world? Tell them that here they
can obtain a good educa^^'at "a "Minimum, expense in the best
of surroundings and amo.i^ the dearest of friends and in the
happiest of atmospheres?
' The president and the secretary are
making plans to make the association
a real benefit to all exes, and they
cannot_ do this without an interested
organization. The way to "make it
efficient is to make the membership
one hundred' per cent of all ex-stud-
ents.' Thq plan at, present is to have
an ex-student paper next year, which
will '■ be published once a month if
finances permit; if there is not enough
money to put it out every month, then
it will be published as often as pos-
sible. We would like to know what
the exes think of such a plan. If you
approve it, tell the president or secre-
tary so. There are also other plans
under way, but these will be an-
nounced later. There will be a home-
coming1 some' time during the year,
probably during commencement week.
There will also be an informal gather-
ing of exes for the Thanksgiving
game.
Now, the most important thing is
to get all the exes interested in be-
coming a part of this organization.
If you want to belong to the' associ-
ation, give or send your name and one
dollar to the secretary, Miss Irene
Ellis. .{Don't wait1 until you have left
school, ' but do it now, if you know
that you will be an ex instead of a
student next year, ON YE TARLEy
TON. •
THE SENIORS ENJOY
ANOTHER PICNIC
TARLETON STUDENTS
ENTERTAIN IN CHAPEL
Friday, August 20, Tarleton and
ex-Tarleton, students entertained in
chapel.' Mr, McCathy gave his fare-
well' message. Then "Dean Davis"
(Joe 6andy) and "Mrs.' Chamberlin"
(Mary Ellen flowton) took charge.
The "Dean" encouraged the boys to
smoke "Bull Durham" and the girls
to :take the new course, "campusology."
The "Dean" read the honor roll and
called Mrs. Chamberlin's attention to
the fact that there were more boys
than girls on it.
( "Mrs. Chamberlin," to prove the
fact" that girls were more accom-
plished than boys, had Dorothy Davis
to read two pieces. Miss Lucy Lee
Young, an ex-Tarletonite, gave two
enjoyable readings, "Foolish Ques-
tions," and a piece in Italian dialect.
Mr. Garnett Froh, accompanied by Mr.
Charles Froh," rendered two numbers
on the marimba.
The "Dean" gave the rest of the
time to the yell "leaders, J. R. Finley
and ' Missouri McAnally. The yell
practice: fended with "On YeTai'leton."
Wilson Davis and Harry Braeuer also
played some popular tunes and their
selections ended with the A. & M. Col-
lege song. At the close of the song,
"Gus" rushed in with a bouquet of
cabbages.
Last Tuesday, Miss Mahan and her
satellites, the seniors, and their guests
began preparations for an afternoon
arid evening of festivity. This was to
be the last picnic that the seniors
would have, so everyone thought that
a swim and picnic at the lake "would
be appropriate. I will tell this weary-
minded summer school that it was,
too.
At five-thirty the cars were due to
leave the dump, and one hour and
forty minutes later, Miss Mahan, who
was scheduled to bring up the rear,
left. After a six mile ride over a road
that majored in ups and downs and
took bad bridges as electives ,and after
a demonstration (to their fair compan-
ions) by Terrill and Dewell of their
ability to fix blowouts, we arrived at
the lake.
Within three minutes the lake was
filled with diving, swimming, yelling
seniors. After an hour of fun every-
body got out; and after the fairer se^;
had again donned "that skin you loVtt
to touch," we were called to eat. And
there were "eats" galore: sandwiches,
pickles, little puppies, tomatoes, and
pop. After eating seven sandwiches,
Fats began griping because he was
riot hungry.1 Then came cream jlnd
cakes. Gus managed to get a cone or
so for his little 'brother at home!
When we could eat no more, the hills
began echoeing the tunes of the Color
Song and On Ye Tarleton. Finally,
Miss Patterson- got sleepy,-and we had
to come home. We wish to extend
our thanks and good wishes to Miss
Mahan.
A. & M. CHAPEL EXERCISES
Friday, August 13, the A.. & M.
entertained in chapel. Mr. Culpepper
made a short speech, after which Dean
Davis turned the remaining time to
the "boys." .
Many "unaccustomed" speakers
made speeches and introduced the
ones to follow. Wilson Davis and
Harry Braeuer gave popular selec-
tions on the melophone and piano.
The program ended with some A. &
M. yells and their college song. Suffice
to say, this bunch put pep into the
entire audience. I will ript state posi-
tively, but I think I saw the Dean and
the minister shifting their feet to
keep from patting them.
Alta H. Morrison, Laura Lowe,
May Montgomery, Jane Rainie,
May Long and May O'Brien are go-
ing to organize a correspondence
club to kee!p in touch with each
other after this school term.
