TO THE PLOWBOYS
Well, Plowboys, you made it thru straight Champion-
ship—-won in every major sport, That is a record that has
never before been set by a jiinior college that has had as
much competition as Tarleton has had this year. Dean
Davis says so far this is the most successful year in
athletics1 since the days of Hudsey and his team-mates.
In football we were undefeated, and ir^ basketball we
only lost two games, one to Grubbs ancf the other to
Weatherford, the strongest teams that the Plowboys met
during the season.
Out of 15 games the Plowboys won 13 and lost 2.
This is a record to be proud oP—<a record that was
better than the record set in '25, and in '25 all of the
members of the team were veterns, or letter men of 24.
This year, with a team that was built up around two
letter men, the Plowboys have fought through to a success-
ful season, and a championship.
Our hats are off to you, Coach Wisdom, Captain Nix,
Jennings, Johnson, Roberts, Rogers, Allison, Steedman.
WHO IS TO BLAME?
Ye scribe regrets to say that he does not like to reveal to
the world some of the bad traits that always go along
with the good ones, no matter how numerous the good
ones may be. Matters Have been Progressing rather
slowly and something has to be done rather quickly.
From an athletic standpoint this is the best year that
'Tarleton has eyer had. She has had two Championship
teains that have worked hard and put in many hours when
they could have, spent this time profitably and enjoyabty
elsewhere. These , two teams have played seasons that have
been hard' and long, for in each they have gone to the
end and they have met the best competition to be offered.
There is no need, to tell the good traits of the football
and basketball teams, for there is not a student or person in
Tarleton who does not fully know them. There is a need,
however, to criticize someone and the writer of this article
does not know who to criticize. So far there has been no
move lo order awards and sweaters for the members of the
two Championship teams. There is a rumor that the ath-
letic funds are low, but this year the crowds at the games
have been larger than ever before and nearly all of of the
games have been at home. Can you feature the largest and
best Junior College in the State—even in the United
States-—not awarding its,teams even with sweaters, particu-
larly since-both are Championship teams?
The writer feels that something is going to be done in
the near future, but if nothing happens, it will be up to
the student body to buy the awards, for those teams that
must have them, ,
BASEBALL THING
Has just begun and soon the season will start. Tar-
leton has had a Championship team in football and basket-
ball—why not in baseball?
At present the team is short in pitchers. It seems that
there should be some one who is capable of pitching win-
ning ball in as large a student body as we have.
If you have ever pitched or played any other position
on a ball team and, you are not coming out for |he team—
you are not showing the proper spirit Where there is a
will—'there is a way, and if you want to pla.y you can, or
at least you can try.
COME OUT AND HELP MAKE ANOTHER WINNING
TEAM—LETS MAKE IT A P-ERFECT
. ATHLETIC YEAR.
MAYBE — MAYBE — MAYBE
Maybe—maybe it happens in the best regulated, organ-
izations. ■ , .
Maybe—maybe there are some gripes in every college,
Maybe—there are those who are, conscientious in their
criticisms and really mean, to benefit some one by their
views. .
Maybe—Many others feel that the world at large is great-
ly indebted to them for the philosophical expression of vol-
umes of shortcomings*
| Maybe—there will always be that class in every group
of students,) citizens, or individuals who deem it their duty
to criticize.
But-—we'll venture that always there will be just a very
few who can. see the need of some real leaders who ACT
and not talk.

THE OUT OP TOWN
TOPICS I
(Formerly the Town Boys)
Being the victims of severe and
extremely unjust criticism, the.
"Town Boys" have changed their
appellation to the "Out of Town
Topics/' We wish to conform to
even the most minute details of our
co-respondents' column, if we may
be allowed to use such a tainted
and possibly inappropriate, express*
ion. Once, before we apologized
for a slight discrepancy, and we
the degree
of P. A.
THAT means "Pipa Amoroso" in the Latin, or
"pipe-lover" in plain campus English. P. A.
has certainly endeared a pipe to more men than
any other letters in the smoke-alphabet Because
Prince Albert lets a fellow,smoke all he wants
to—and makes him want to!
Cool as the stare of a marble Venus- Sweet
as the approach of vacation. Fragrant as spring
blossoms. Think up your own similes, Fellows.
You will when you pick P. A. and a jimmy-pipe
for permanent roommates. Prince Albert is
great tobacco, and that's not blah.
Get yourself a tidy red tin of Prince Albert
today. Fill the bowl of that old jimmy-pipe to
the brim and borrow a match. Then you're set
for some great smoke-sessions, as sure as you're
a foot high.
P. A* ii sold everywhere in
iidf red tins, poun4 and half-
pound tin humidors, and
pound cryital'glais huntidors

And' always with every. Pit oft

the Prince' Albert process.
•no other tobacco is like it!
