ATTRACTION GOOD
In presenting the. Ladies. Colum-
bia Concert Orchestra to the student
body arid faculty members last
Wednesday night, Mr. Charleg Froh
achieved a notable triumph; since
the number was especiallfy high
class and worthy of special mention.
The vocalist seemed to have been
well received.-- .The "Ameri-
can Patrole March" was greeted
with the loudest outburst of enthus-
iasm. Carneet Froh has often play-
ed this. particular number for us
011 his miramba, and thus one can
account for its instaneous popular-
ity.
The program in its entirely- was
exceptionally good and was heartily
enjoyed by the huge -audience.
"Backward, turn backward, oh
time in your flight; make me a
child again just for tonight."
a jolly good time was enjoyed
in the gym last Monday night, Dec-
ember 7th, when the members of
the I. D. A. Club entertained their
best beaux with a kid party. The
girls were attired in short gingham
frocks, 1 socks and hair ribbons.
When-they entered each child was
given a red lolly-pop which lasted
air during the grand march. Fol-
lowing this, games that all little
children enjoy, such as, "ring around;
the rosy," "drop the handkerchief,"
and "wolf over the river" were
played.
When the hands of the clock be-
gan to point "dangerous^ near to
ten, the children, to their great de-
light, were Called, to refreshments
of . eskjmo pies. ) All went home
feeling years younger and. having
that same carefree spirit they had
"in the good old days."

In the first half, Burleson made
four, first downs and a total of 60
yards, including . line plays' and
passes But in the last half they
gained only 14 yards on all plays
and made no first downs. Their
first touchdown eanje as a result of
a penalty which placed them on
farleton's -1 yai'd line, with four- ,
downs in which to make that yard..
Their second arid . last touchdown
came as a result of fluke. Roberts, '
who was attempting a pass, was
tackled and he threw the ball wild.
It landed in the arms of Holliday
who raced through a clear field for
touchdown. Dennis- failed to kick
goal both times.
For the. Bruins, Head played the
best game in the line, Turne;r, di-
inuntive. quarteifbadk, gerieifaied his
team well and gained more ground
than any other hum on the team.
In the first half both lines played
the best brand of football seen on
Hayes Field in many years. In no
single play could 'either team gain
more than four or five yards. The
half ended with the ball in mid-
field.
The Plowboys came black at "the
beginning of the second half and
made one first down. An exchange
of punts gave Tarleton the ball on
her own 40 yard, line. It \yas here
that Holliday intercepted Roberts'
pass and ran for touchdown. This
evidently angered J&nings,;for"frbm
that moment, he inspired his .men to
fight with riinewed 'vigor, aiid start-
ed thein on the way tp State Cham-
pionship. Little Taylor w'ds - sent
into the game at this point, and
from this time until the last pi-i 1
shot, the Plowboys really "plowaJ ".
