< Seeking to keep their home rec-
ord clean, the Tarleton Plowboyt
meet the invading Lamar College
Cardinal! of Beaumont on Hayes
Field Friday night ,
Avenge for the 19-7 defeat last
year will be the Purple’s objective
when they enter the game with an
even chance of knocking off the
Red-Birds.
Head mentor Roy Forwald will
bring to Tarleton a team that has
many returning lettermen from
’he 1946 team along with some
unheralded talent acquired this
season. Such all-state men as Rob-
bie D. Smith of Wichita Falla, An-
Tlo Alvores of Port Arthur, and
Roy Davidson of Beaumont will
lead «ie Red-Birds after their third
win of the season.
Most impressive on the Purple
side is the outstanding line Coach
Flory has arrayed to stop Latpar.
The forward wall, led by Charles
Dawson and Bill Gee, has allowed
only one touchdown on Hayes
Field and very few through the
line otherwise.
Coach Flory stated that Jerry
Fisher, veteran 200-lb. tackle may
see only limited action because of
an ankle injury sustained in the
Kilgore game. Also slated to be
out adll be Herman Moore, out-
standing end of the ’44 Plowboys.
Dependable W.> C. Smith, work
horse of the Purple, is expected
to make a creditable showing again
Friday.
So the Plowboys, with added pol-
ish they acquired through last
week’s game, and the boys from
South Texas will be working for
the breaks and a win.
Tarleton’s hard-luck eleven, in
their third quest for a conference
win, was repulsed 19-6 by Schrein
er Institute in the annual headliner
staged at neutral Brady Saturda\

Story of an old wash pot. It
seems to me the traditions and ths
way of life of the pioneers are
worth saving. I do not know of any
wares the pioneers possessed that
wore more useful than the old-
fashioned wash pot. Did you ever
try to comprehend just how much
the old-fashioned wnsh pot meant
to the pioneers? I have not seen a
new wash pot In years. I have my
rraat-grandmother’s waah pot. It
was brought to Texas in 1830 when
Texea was part of the Republic of
Mexico. Tho waah pot belonged to
my Grandmother Case's mother
who was born in Texas in 1848. It
had been in use several years prior
to hor birth. If the old waah pot
could talk it would tell tha history
of Texas Indian depredations, pio-
neer lullabies, events of six wars,
etc. The wash pot is not for sals. I
intend to place it in the care of
some reputable hsitorical society
of the Southwest. Maybe we should
all try to leave something that may
ba of interest to future generalona
after we ars gone. If you are Inter-
ested in looking at tha old waah pot
you may see It here at my place.
It seems to me hope la a very
important, thing in our Ufa. It la
a balance spring, and lives in the
future and is something we expect.
However, without work and action
it draws large overdrafts on a
small cradit which are seldom
honored at the bank of blessings.
Many of our hopes must be defeat-
ed for our own good. Under the
niding hand of hope great evanta
have been wrought. It is the sun-
light on the mountain top, when it
is dark in the valley; It will enable
us to weather the storms of life.

night in a game that was much j
closer than the score. It was any-
body's ball game until late in the j
Anal period, when the four-leat
clover boys from. Kerrville broke
loose for a pair of quick counters.
The improved Purple ground at-
tack, mixing single-wing with T. J
looked impressive in spots, especi-
ally when Randall Rand lugged ths
pigakin on his incomparable brok-
en-fleld sashays. He personally ac-
counted for 96 yards on 7 carries,
completed two passes for 14, and
returned a brace of. kickoffs for
64 to take offensive honors. Li ska
-.pearheaded the Mountaineers’ at-
tack, which was outgained on the
ground but led in aerial yardage.
An interference penalty of 26
yards set up Schreiner’s first tally,
made by end Truman Donahoo on
a fourth down 8-yard bullet toss
from accurate Tommy Burke. The
undaunted Plowboys roared back
to knot the score at 6-6, and seem-
•Ni to have the situation well in
hand. Rand went the last 16 on an
olf-tackle sprint. However, the
luckless Purple could not find a I
scoring punch after reaching the
19 and 7 yard lines on two excel-1
lent drives. W. C. Smith’s flawless |
selection of plays and top-notch
chunking had much to do with the I
scoring march, also the later drives
which just missed.
After turning back the outweigh-
ed Plowboys on several occasions,
the West Texans got life on a
blocked punt that th«y covered ten
yards shy of paydirt. Liska’s two- ]
yard buck ballooned the count to
12-6, and soon after Burke sneak-1
ed over from the one-foot line for [
the flnad TD. Babb converted on
his third attempt It waa Schrein-1
er’a SJCAA opener, and their
fourth win in five starts this sea-
son. Despite a winning record,
Coach Heinie Weir’s charges do
not rate on a par with the Kilgore
and Tyler machines, thus will have [
a very tough row to hoe.
