NUMBER 16.
PLOWBOY
Without a Waterloo in thirty
straight games, the Tarieton bas-
ketball team deserves first men-
tion again in Ezra's Column.
When one considers what the
Plowboys' record really means, he
will realize the strength of the
team. Basketball is a game in
which a scoring lead in the early
part of the game, of one team ov-
er another, signifies little in the
final outcome of the game. Last-
minute rallies are so frequent in
basketball that, to win consistent-
ly, a team must be able to stave
off rallies, as well as to initiate
them. Their record indicates that
the Plowboys have played a con-
sistent brand of ball that has al-
ways kept them with the big end
of the score until the end of every
game.
A full house attended the
freshman students* chapel pro-
gram, which featured the college
jazz orchestra, and Miss Maxine
Clements, a dancer from Houston,
who gave her impression of how
the Flirtation Waltz should be ex-
ecuted.
With the new term, and reor-
ganization of the Cadet Corps,
promotions among the ranks will
be next in order. 80, (technically
speaking) it wouldn't he a bad
idea for those aspiring young men
who want promotions, to start
conducting themselves in the best
possible manner before their su-
perior officers.
One of the best ways to pass a
course is to keep all your work up
on time every day. And by the
way, have you started on that
book you have to read before the
end of the first six weeks? This
first preliminary- will be over be-
fore we know it, and a late book
report (or none at all) doesn't
help one's grades.
Wishing everybody a pleasant
week-end, I remain as ever,
—EZRA.

II. PRICE; ELECTS C. SMITH
Herman Price of Millersview was
initiated into the Green Hand de-
gree by the Tarieton Junior Col-
legiate Chapter of the Future
Farmers of America, Monday
night. Herman and his father
raise purebred Rambouillet sheep
at Millersview.
Clifton Smith of San Saba was
elected chapter treasurer, The next
regular meeting will be Monday
night, Feb. 18, at 6:30 in the chap-
ter room.
Tarieton beat T. M. C. to the
score of 63 to 25 at the College
Gym in a conference cage game
Friday, February 8. The teams
played only an average game. The
first half was swift and evenly
played, but the second half favor-
ed the Plowboys. Tate was the
high score man for J. T. A. C.,
making 16 points; Taylor, T. M.
C., made the high score for the
Bulldogs with 7 points.
The cage game began at 7:30
p. m. as the Tarieton Band played
"On Ye Tarieton." About three
hundred persons were present to
see the conference game.
At the end of the first half, the
score was 27 to 8. Although Tar-
ieton outplayed T. M. C. in this
half, they had a fairly good de-
fense. In the second half, J. T. A.
C. made 36 points to T, M. C,'s
17. As far as fouls throughout the
game, there were about fifteen for
each team. Fouls were given for
overguarding, walking, and hack-
ing; this was absolutely a clean
game, giving credit to both teams.
Tarieton players scored as fol-
lows: Tate, 16; Finley, 14; Britt,
11; Headstl'eam, C; Smith, G;
Speers, 4; Payne, 2; Killen, 0;
Torvie, 0; and Carrigan, 0.
°0PULAR SONGS ARE
SHORT-LIVED HERE
Out in Hollywood, where so
many song hits are born, a lyric-
ist and a composer get together,
and after days of intense labor,
produce the song sensation for
Cring Bosby's latest picture,
"Where is My Heart?" The title
of the tune is "August in Octo-
ber."
Before the release of the pic-
ture, Cring croons the song seve-
ral times over the air, after which
a million Americans attempt same.
At this time the first strains of
the song are heard on Tarieton
campus, sung by some few radio
listeners, all of whom have differ-
ent versions of it. "Where is My
Heart?" is released, ultimately
reaching Stephenville. The stu-
dent body turns out 100 per cent
strong to the show on Sunday and
Monday. By Tuesday, "August in
October" echoes in every hall and
room in every building on Tarie-
ton campus, drowning out class-
room lectures, and causing the
Conservatory to close all available
doors and windows. The rage con-
tinues for a week without let-up.
Next week-end, Dick Pow-wow
appears in a singing role in the
movie "Invitation Drive," the title
of which is the song sensation of
the picture. Student body, 100 per
cent strong, attends show on Sun-
day and Monday. "August in Oc-
tober" is thrown "Out in the Cold
Again," and thus we have traced
the brief but eventful career of
a popular song at the hands of
Tarieton students.
Exchange of Choruses Planned
Mr. Clyde Garrett, head of Fine
Arts department of N. T. A, C.
and editor of the Southwestern
Musician, which is the official or-
gan of the Texas Southern Music
Teachers' Association, recently
made a social call and also at-
tempted to arrange an exchange
of choruses between J. T. A. C. and
N. T. A. C. which will probably
occur on the afternoon of Feb. 20.

DISTINCTIVE F.F.A. MEMBER
OF CISCO ENROLLED HERE
Bobby Thurman of Cisco, who
has recently enrolled in Tarieton
College, is an American Farmer—
the highest honor in the Future
Farmers of America. There are
only fourteen boys in Texas who
have this distinction.
Thurman was made a State
Farmer 111 1932 at the state con-
vention in Huntsville; and at the
national convention in Kansas
City in 1933, he was made an Am-
erican Farmer. He has competed
in four contests at Tarieton. In
the soil conservation contest he
wah high point man and on the
winning team, and in the plant
proluction contest he was high
point man and on the winning
team.
NORTH OP CAMPUS
M PROVED
Another section of the Tarieton
campus will be- provided with per-
manent foundation plantings of
shrubs and vines within a few
days, according to Miss Lena
Lewis, who is in charge. The
ground is prepared, and plantings
will be made as soon as the wea-
ther permits. The section of the
campus now under improvement
extends from the north side of
the Administration Building to
the tennis courts. About two hun-
dred dollars will be expended in
carrying out the schedule for this
year-by-year planting program
now in effect. Special" attention is
being given to improving the ap-
pearance of the Fort.
A large variety of shrubs has
been selected to give continuous
color throughout the year. Plants
such as crepe-myrtle, Abelia, hon-
eysuckle, and jasmine have been
chosen for bloom and fragrance;
pyraceanthus, ilex, and mahona
have bright berries during the fall
and winter; cedar, lingustrum,
nandina, and arboraitoe, as well
as most of the other shrubs, are
evergreens.
Approximately two hundred and
fifty roses will be set out in the
rose gardens this spring. Dean
Davis' rose garden will also be
improved.
Begun five years ago, Tarleton's
permanent planting program will
be completed in three more years.
Mr. Ritenour, of Fort Worth, one
of the leading architects in the
Southwest, drew the plans for
these plantings.

GROUND IS BROKEN
Ground is being broken for the
new addition to the Science Build-

work. A week ago on Friday, Feb-
ruary 8, men with teams of mules,
plows, and fresno scrapers broke
the ground; bat the rain has been
too much for further work. As
soon as the weather is permiss-
able, the excavation will begin
again.
The part to be added to the
building is to be joined to the
front of the Chemistry Building,
extend to the front, and to the
south ninety feet. This part of
the structure is to be three stories
just the same as the Chemistry

CHARLES D. GEORGE
DIES HERE. MONDAY
Charles D. George, who has been
connected with Tarieton College
for the last twelve years, died at
his home in Stephenville Monday,

education department, which place
he held until in 1931. Lately he
has served as secretary of the de-
partment.
He was chairman of the Tarie-
ton placement committee for sev-
eral years and was a member of
the Baptist church, Odd Fellows,
and the National Education As-
sociation. He received his Master
of Arts degree from George Pea-
body College for Teachers in
Nashville, Tennessee; and before

Glen Rose.
OUMP GIRLS' DANCE
MAKESJIG UPROAR
"In the hustle and the bustle of
the Dormitory."
No, that's not a song, it's the
Dump girls rushing around mak-
ing out dance programs. Some one
started it just because she already
had her date, and, of course, oth-
ers wanted to get their dates good
programs; so the bomb exploded.
Telephoning a certain boy just
to find out he already had a date
for the Dump Dance happened
more than once Wednesday night.
Most of the used expressions were,
"Is your program full?" "Whom
are you taking?" "Trade number
eight," or "Why start so soon?"
All this leads up to the fact that
there will be a Dormitory Girls'
Dance March 5, in the Recreation
Hall. The Dormitory, girls invite
the boys and fill out ^he programs.
Cadets should show themselves up
around these Dump girls for the
next week or two if they want to
enjoy themselves.
