This figure was released by
Robert E. Herring, president of the

series of letters this week to don-
ors, Tarleton faculty members,
and prospective contributors.
Bona fide pledges amounting to.
$17,968,31, due on'or before Dec.
31, 1950, will raise the total to
$41,630.78, he stated.
Redoubled , efforts to raise an
additional $20',000 will >be made
this year- with the intention of
starting construction on the cen-
ter section and dressing rooms of
the stadium early next year, Her-
ring revealed.
He pointed out that the re-
mainder of the proposed $100,000

time, two wings to the central

Approximately $50,000 has al-
ready been spent in providing steel
bleachers and other facilities at
the field, and another $20,000 is
now being spent to construct a
cinder track. All of this $70,000
was money appropriated by the
state and approved by the Texas

purpose. i
ca6ers meet
defeat at a&m
The Tarleton Plowboys met a
56-44 defeat in the second round
of the A&M Tournament at the
hands of Amarillo Thursday.
This defeat, which put the Plow-
boys put of the tournament, was
achieved mainly through Amarillo's
ability with free throws.-The Bad-
gers made 22 out of 36 free throws.
The Plowboys played their way
through the fipst elimination when
they nipped the Howard County
team 50-47 in a fast finish.
By Charles Dunn
Another season will have to come before the fans will hear the
dribble of a basketball on the court and see the tense, lightning-fast
action that is common with the hoop sport. Yes, the Plowboys have
finished their season, and with a pretty good record, too. They could
have possibly done better bad they not been subject to several handi-
caps this year. The first handicap of which I speak is the loss of two
j of the top scorers from the Plowboys five, Harold Ball and;M. C, Jones,
'one through sickness, the other, through injury. Another handicap of
which I speak is the grueling trip which the Plowboys were forcld to
take. On this trip, the Plowboys played four games against their
toughest opponents, one after another. This is something which is
hard on any team.

SURVEYING
a
In finishing up the basketball season, your reporter wants to get
in on the back slapping. Realizing the impossible task of commending
all the righteous hands in the basktball season, we want to commend
a few. Too much cannot be said about the band and its spirit spread-
ing qualities. The band was present at all the games bringing cheer
with peppy marches and raising- spirit to a high pitch with the
School Song and the "War Hymn". There is the tumbling team which
furnished keen entertainment between halves, the pep squad which led
the yells, and—oh, we coukl go on all day.
