History of JW
Rams Is Relat
Ily JOE NORTON
"Since there is a completely
new starting lineup for the Rams,
there are strong possibilities that
after they gain more experience,
they can go far in the near fut-
ure," states Coach Elmer Hane-
butt, coach of the Ram Varsity
team.
The team began working out at
the beginning of the year in the
M& i gym here on the campus while
waiting for the new floor to bo
finished in the Recreation Hall.
Since this time, the Ram team
has scrimmaged Weatherford Ju-
nior College, Decatur Junior Col-
lege, SMU, TCU and,North Texas
State Collie. In addition, the
team recently played the ex-
Rams.

Since TWC became co-educa-

Kansas City six times. From 1940-
46, the Rams had 50 consecutive
victories in Texas Conference play.
A fact stated in the history high-
lights of the team is that the 1941-
42 team set a conference defen-
sive record which still stands, and
that league opponents averaged
only 29.2 points per game.
The most colorful of all past
teams is the 1946-47 team. From
this team came Clifton McNeely,

IF YOU'VE GOT a Lucky, you've got it made.
That's 'cause you just can't beat a Lucky for
taste. Luckies are made of fine tobacco—light,
naturally good-tasting tobacco that's TOASTED
to taste even better. In fact, you'll say Luckies
are the best-tasting cigarette you ever smoked.
What more could you want? Oh, the answer to
the Stickler! If you're in a light plight, what you
need is a Match, Natch!
"ITS TOASTED"
