PLOWBOY!
' 74- hoys tennis club is feeing or-
ganized. It is practically certain
that it will be the largest in the
history of the school.
It seems very probable that Tar-
leton will have permanent tennis
courts. The Aggettes at their an-
nual- banquet last year voted to
put 5down cement courts this, year,
-and "work has started on the ways
arid, means to carry out the project.
The boys tennis cljib is certain, to
aid the Aggettes.' Dean Davis, is
backing it. It will be the best piece
of construction that can be carried
•out. at the present time. Back it!
. 'The Armistice Day address was
very goo dindgecl. -We wer e ^cer-
tainly glad to have Attorney Gen-
eral Bobbitt with us, and we hope
he will come back and deliver us
another fine talk sometime.
The dress parade and review was
plenty good. The boys all must
ha,ve tried to look well to their par-
ents and other outsiders, and they
did; well! .
The parade onto the football
' field was very good. Both'boys and
girls looked well. ,
The Tumblers put on a real ex-
hibition befdre the game started,
i The ex-students we*e delighted
with the performance. They were
unanimous in saying that the team
a should be regular organization
in Tarleton every year. 1
And what a game! Every cadet
and co-ed who was not hoarse aft-
er the, game should be thoroughly
' ashamed of himself or herself.
Ev^ry man on the team. did his
utmost. There was not a player on
the field who did not fight clean-
ly and, whole-heartedly for the vic-
tory. Every Plowboy did a lion's
share.
' }
Several new men saw .service
^ Monday. Several of tlis starters
were playing1 their first game on
Hays Field. They played like four-
. : year letter - ipen.
The''girls' made the "T" between
halves. It was beautiful and well
done. They gave some real yells
too. An individual yell was . given
for each member of the team. The
cadets responded with the individ-
ual for "co-eds."
It really seemed like old times.
The Plowboys fought like the
-championship teams of the past.
The opponents, though putting up
a strenous fight, were completely
smothered. The cadets, co-eds, and
exes yelled until their throats
ached. "Nick" led the yells as of
.old. The old spirit soared as it has
not soared this season. Taken to-
gether, it all spelled Tarleton, the
real Tarleton.
Freshmen, you see' what kind of
a yell leader we Imd last year. Did

HANDY'S PARK IS SCENE OF
FIRST DEMOLAY OUTING
The Tarleton beMolay chapter
held their first social function of
the year , on Wednesday evening,
Nov.G, at Handy's Park. The mem-
bers of the fraternity and their
fair ladies gathered at the , old
music conservatory promptly at
5:45 where a number of cars ,and
a truck were in readiness to trans-
port them.'
Those arriving first at the park
started a fire so that those on
the truck might warm themselves.
After all had arrived, including
Powell Parks, and Scott, who
claimed to have had tire trouble,
the group gathered around the
fire, playing games and applauding
Clark's exiu-bant antics.
Near 9 o'clock the fried chicken,
hot and crisp, along with an abun-
dant, supply -of bread, pickles, ol-
ives, potato chips and coffee, ar-
riyed from the Onyx, This delici-
ous food was served to 46 boys and
girls, Vajoje Pprte^ and John P,
Oliver, Sgt, and Mrs. Bushman,
and Mr. arid Mrs. Lyle. The group
arrived back' into town about 10
o'clock, much, to the disappoint-

Armistice Day ...
Program Was
Best in Years

ATTORNEY GENERAL R, L.
BOBBIT DELIVERS
ADDRESS
The 'Armistice was ; celebrated'
Very appropriately Monday by
^arleton and the Stephenville cit-
izens. The program1' began at 10
o'clock when the cadets and girls,
headed by the band marched to the
new auditorium. The girls occupi-
ed the west1 section, the cadets the
center section, the ex-service men
the front part of the east side,; the
high school students the rear part
of the east side and the junior high
school part of the.balcony. The rest
of the auditorium was Completely
filled by the citizens of Stephen-
ville and by visitors.
The following is 'an outline of
the program:..,-,, v. .

' Song—Star-Spangled Banner.
Benediction—Rev. Ernest Ulmer.
Postlude—Orchestra,
Military Parade and Review.
The main ^ address, by Attorney
General R. L, Bobbitt, was very
good indeed. The speaker's subject
■was well chosen, and he delivered
his talk extremely well. Though it
was , short, it expressed many
thoughts that were well worth
while. We.'appreciate this fine ad-
dress, and we, hope we may be com-
plimented with another visit by the
speaker in the future. The silent
prayer1 and taps while we were
facing toward the west were espec-
ially impressive.
The college chorus song, "All
Hail, Italia." The song was very
beautiful and was unusually well
sung. We are proud of our chorus
for their splendid showing, ' ,
The service was followed by a
military review and dress parade
by the cadet corps. The boys look-
ed like real soldiers and carried
out their part well. > /
The Tarletpn victory over Gain-
esville and the shirt-tail parade
completed the day's program.
ing to take the time, trouble, and
to do the work necessary to learn
the Stunts,' .
Joe Clark deserves a lot of cre-
dit, because he was persistent
enough to jcarry his idea out. But
he sho'ujdn't receive all the praise.
All of those fellows have been
working hard, and the last exhibi-
tion was better than any before>
Probably it looked better because
of the new white uniforms, but it
would have looked good anyway.
Say, gang, let's show our appre-
ciation a little more. Give the boys
a hand when they exhibit. They
deserve it,. Three cheers for Bug

Shirt-Tail
Parade Enjoyed
By All Here
ENTHUSIASM SHOWN AFTER
FIRST VICTORY OF
SEASON
(Continued on page 4)
The first shirt-tail parade of the
year was held last Monday evening
after the football victory. The gang-
assembled, at 6:45 p. m., and the
march to town began with the
band leading. The, formation Was
single file with the boys at the
head of the line and the girls last.
There was much noise and gen-
eral whoopee all of the way to
town. Alter the march around the
square. Nick Fletcher led the
bunch in a number of yells, and
how they , did'yell.
Captain Rudder was asked to say
a few words for the team. He
complimented the bunch and sai4
he knew they \v,puld win all games
if the twelfth man stayed on the
job. We are afraid that the
twelfth man did riot stay on the
job as the team did, but we are
all proud of them just the same.
Nick led a few more yells, and
the meeting was brought to a close
with "On Ye Tarleton." Somehow
we noticed that nobtitly rushed on
the way, back, and couples were
numerous. . . '
Everybody had a big time. We
are for more and bigger shirt-tail
parades; Whoopee!

Unleashing a sustained, driving,*
crushing offensive; the John Tar-
leton College Plowboys complete- *
1^ Outplayed the Gainesville /Junior
College Tigers to win their first
victory of the season by a score of
19-0.
A summary of the game will
show how completely the Plowboys
crushed their opponents. They roll-,
ed up seventeen first downs while
our powerful defense, was holding,
■the Tigers to two first downs and
only 33 yards actually gained on '
(running plays. The Plowboys scored
once, in the third quarter when Wil-
liajns skirted left end .for >5 ards
find a touchdown and once in the
latter part of the fburth quarter
when Rudder bucked tlw^ball over
after a steady march down the
field. Abbott kicked goal for the
extra point after the first touch-
down. ,
Captain Earl Rudder; was with-
out a doubt the outstanding play-
er on the field for both teams. Hi-s
line-bucking was the feature of
the game, and besides this he play-
ed a fine defensive game and
caught and threw several passes.
Williams, speedy half-biick of the
Plowboys, played a beautiful game
He was on the throwing and re-
ceiving end of Several passes; his
return of punts was briUiant, and
he slipped through the line for
some nice gains. Nabors kept the ,
Tigers backed in their own terri-
tory by some "excellent punts, com-
pleted two long passes and was' in
every play. Bresenham, Hickman,
Abbott, Katrola, Barliam, Boycan
—in fact, all the Tarleton line
showed to their best advantage of
the year in this game. 1
For the visitors -tbe' elusive
Phillips ;vvas the outstanding play-
er, His punts kept the score as
fow as it was and he' was almost
the whole offensive of the Gain-
esville boys, Priddy, captain of the
invaders, got many tackles and was
the outstanding linesman for his
team. '
