Large Crowd Sees Plowboys Defeat
Weatherford Coyotes in Cage Battle
TATE HIGH POINT MAN IN
HARDEST GAME OF SEASON
Tarleton Plowboys basketed an-
other cage game towards the state
championship in basketball from
the Coyotes, this time, to the score
of 39 to 28 last Friday night, Feb.
22, in Tarleton's gym.
The crowd of about three hun-
dred were spectators of a confer-
ence game that proved Tarleton
to be the better of the two teams.
For the first time of this season
the Plowboys had to dig for scores
throughout the entire game. Both
halves of the game were very close-
ly played.
The score at the first half of the
game was Tarleton 23; Weather-
ford 15. The scores for the second
half were almost the same; Tarle-
ton 16; Weatherford 13. The Plow-
boys stayed intact and did the best
playing of the season.
The scores made by the Plow-
boy players individually are as fol-
lows: Tate, 12; Headstream, 9;
Payne, 7; Britt, 5; Smith, 2;
Speeis, 2; and Finley, 2.
Friday night's game, March 1,
with NTAC was the final game of
the basketball season.
FINE LECTURE GIVEN;
COLORADO U, GREAT
Mr. Eben G. Fine, who gave an
illustrated lecture in the College
Auditorium Monday night, is an
interesting person as well as an
interesting lecturer. He has trav-
eled widely—this being his tenth
tour since he began thirteen years
ago. He lectured at John Tarleton
about five years ago, but he de-
clared the school has changed con-
siderably since then. He has come
to Texas on every tour, and his
tours have taken him from the
Atlantic to the Pacific and from
the Gulf to the Great Lakes. He
has looked for,"and found, every
school in Texas and Louisiana,
and lectured in them. This is his
fifth consecutive year to lecture at
the University of Texas and at
Southern Methodist University.
Before Mr, Fine began lectur-
ing, he was a clerk in. a drug store
in Boulder, Colorado, his home.
On Sundays and after hours, he
developed a hobby—photography.
Ten years ago, he sold his drug
store and began his studies and
tours. Photography was his hobby
because in it he found pleasure,
health, and a stimulus to study.
He began to study botany and bi-
ology—flowers, shrubs, and fores-
try. Next, he studied the National
Park—topography, and then geol-
ogy and archfflology. He is a mem-
ber of the Santa Fe Archaeological
Society, which does excavation
work here and abroad. His avoca-
tion has become his vocation.
The University of Colorado, ac-
cording to Mr. Fine, is a combina-
tion of educational and recreation-
al activities. In the summer, there
are three mountain clubs in the
University, members of which go
for week-ends of exploring and
hiking over the mountains and
streams.
Spicy Students Chapel Monday
Great day! The Tarleton Tennis
team is going to give this school

mission will be five cents for this

The receipts will be used to buy
tennis balls for the tennis team.
There will also be a surprise
number on the program. Come

get the nickel, and don't hold an to
it until it becomes so thin that the
Indian is riding the buffalo.

Masons sponsoring the chapter.

ideals and stricter standards than
most organizations Some of the
old members are Bitts Palmer,

ARE YA BLIND, OR DID YA
SEE THE SENIORS SMILE?
Did ya see those smiles oil
senior girls' faces?
Did ya see them look at their
shoes?
Did ya see them handle their
ties?
If ya didn't, you're blind.
Yee, you're blind. Why, Fri-
day the Tarleton campus was
simply covered with graduating
senior gorls who possessed "su-
periority" complexes, but there
were more freshmen and other
senior girls who wore black
shoes* and envious expressions.
If you didn't notice them, you
need glasses.
Friday, March 1, was the day
that graduating senior girls be-
gan wearing white shoes and
white ties. "Lucky!" you say.
Yes, but they deserve the dis-
tinction.

FT. WORTH SURGEON
LECTURES ON CANCER
I)r, Beall, surgeon from the
Cook Memorial Hospital, Fort
Worth, gave a lecture on "Cause
and Cure of Cancer" Tuesday
night at the Baptist church. The
Federated Clubs of Stephenville
invited Dr. Beall to give this lec-
ture to benefit the public with his
knowledge of this subject.
In substance Dr. Beall said that
the cause of cancer is not known.
It is known that it is not contag-
ious and does not come through
heredity. Radium, surgery, and
X-ray are the only known cures,
A person suffering from this dis-
ease must see a doctor at once be-
cause delay will mean fatal re-
sults. According to authorities the
cancer ik :i disorderly growth of
cells.
PLOWBOY
Fifty-two students have been
placed on the honor roll of the
West Texas State Teacher's Col-
lege for the fall semester of
1934-35.
This week's highlight came on
Tuesday, when the NTAC chorus
blew in and gave us one of the best
programs we've seen in a long
time. Several soloists were fea-
tured, and the chorus showed its
versatility by rendering popular,
classical, and even operatic ballads.
Their jovial conductor and master
of ceremonies added much to the
program with his ready wit, and
clever presentation of the various
numbers, which were especially
attractive because of gay costumes
worn by the artists.
Basketball season is fast draw-
ing to its close, but we've still time
to see some fast action by attend-
ing the post-season games that
Tarleton plays- If the Plowboys
won last night's game, they have
played undefeated ball for the en-
tire season. Being assured of their
ability, wo cheerfully predict on
Thursday that second season with-
out a loss.
Can it ln> true? Yes, six weeks'
tests begin next week, which means
that the form is one-third gone,
and which means that book re-
ports. themes, and everything else
are coming due all at the 'same
time. Oh well, as Shakespeare or
somebody ?aid: "All's well that
ends well," or something, which is
a good place to end this column
for today,—EZRA,
STOCK BEING CONDITIONED
FOR THE FAT STOCK SHOW
An Erath County herd of Jerseys
is being conditioned for the South-
western Exposition and Fat Stock
Show at Fort Worth, with mem-
bers of the agriculture department
at John Tarleton College working
on the project. The county herd
will include Jerseys from the col-
lege herd and from herds of four
other owners.
INVENTOR REAPS REWARD;
GREGES AGAIN; PERSONAGES
Charles Evans Hughes, Chief
Justice of the United States, read
the decision of the Supreme Court
that sustained the inflated Roose-
velt Dollar. This announcement
was the climax of the tense fight
between the New Deal and' serious
interference. The Gold Clause was
upheld; but Congress was declared
overstepping when it meddled with
Federal Bonds. A final ballot of
5-4 ended this important national
question. Principals: for the ac-
tion of the New Deal, Brandeis,
Hughes, Roberts, Stone, and Car-
dozo! opposed to the Gold Clause,
Van Devanter, MacReynolds, Sut-
herland, and Butter,
Ex-President Hoover stopped at
the Waldorf. "So he's here, is he ?
Well, last week we had Janet Gay-
nor. She was nice." This was the
statement of one of the girl clerks
at the hotel. The 750 Republicans
who crowded the Starlight Roof
were a great deal more enthusias-
tic. They proclaimed the downfall
of the New Deal as Hoover made
Lincoln's Birthday speech.
Reaping his rewards: Charles
Holmes, inventor, wasted away his
life working for the Navy Depart-
ment during the World War, He
had to retire because the high-
pressuro work left him with ar-
thritis and failing eyesight. He
had recently received a letter of
thanks (his first) from the Presi-
dent for his war term service.
Frank Greges, sandwichman, has
become money-crazed following his
recent rise to wealth. Greges re-
turned some securities for which
he received a ?500 reward and a
job. The man who had known
nothing but poverty and obscurity
al his life found himself a national
figure. Reporters followed him,
offering him a dollar for every
minute they interviewed him. Peo-
ple pointed him out on the street.
This sudden change was entirely
too much for the old man. His
brain snapped. He thought him-
self a broker, displaying his ?15
hat to everyone. He would push
people on the street. Greges was
placed in a straight jacket follow-
ing his claim to be God. He show-
ed that he could kill a man by look-
ing at him as he stared into the
eyes of Michael Gyzwacz—who
promptly died.
International Figures:
General Robert E, Wood, success-
ful business man and ex-army of-
ficer. He is the newly appointed
head of a special committee to ad-
vise the President as how to spend
the 54,000,000,000 provided for in
the new work Relief Bill,
