LISTEN PLOWBOYS
Owing 'to the circumstances be-
yond our control we did not get to
see the game With Randolph, How-
ever, ouv heart was with }ou, gang;
arid we knew that you would win.
You upheld our faith in you for
which .we are deeply grateful. ..
We think the umpire must have
been mad at Jack. After he" worked
hard for. those four touchdowns,
they gave him only two. Jack, we're
behind you and we're wishiiig you
better, luck next _time. Plow on!
And "Doc," old boy,' we're: sorry
that you're laid up. Those thiiigs
pome with foqiball. y-rBest wishes for
"■&' quick recovery. - ;
Really, false statements in a pa-
per are worse than none at 'all. Wit-
ness the following from The War
Whoop, the student gaper of Mc-
Murry; in the face of a team
that outweighed them (Mc Mucry)
at least twenty five pounds to the
. man1 "The final score was
thirteen to nothing but the Plowboys
really earned only 3 points of the
jota.1." ''The Plowboys, too, got off
gome good kicks but on the whole
Mc Murray had the edge in this de-
partment ." " and on a dry
field the story might have had a
different ending."
Does this sound truthful? It is
honest? <
We leave it to the students who
saw the game.
The headline in The War Whoop
says, "Tarleton, Muddy Field, and
Bad Breaks Defeat McMurry."
Again, we,, ask you, "Is this ■ a true
representation of facts?"
just back up that good old team
fellows by plowing the best you
can,. and then—State Championship.
EXTRA
Running water did you , say—well
yes, and not, perhaps. It is a nice
thing to have, and the Fort has it,
tilt it is not under control. You
wake up and it is slowly dripping
through a crack in the ceiling and
you are getting a shower bath free
of charge." The hard part of; it is
that you can't find anything dry to
put- on or sleep, on for the; rest of
the night. So you just sit and listen
tp the: patter of the rain inside and
outside—and wish for a good warm
bed. •
THE DEATH OF MA, NEBLETT
The entire student body and faculty were shocked last Thursday morn-
ing when there was a sudden announcement of the death of Mr. Erank
Neblett who has been working as head carpenter, for the college for a
period of about four years.
- <■
.-Mr. Neblett's work caused him to have to be on every quarter of
the campus at times apd for that reason most everybody knew him. His
happy genial disposition brought to -him the admiration and-'good will
of all who came in contact with him. He was constantly about his work
and watched the progress of the institution with a 'great deal of pride.
He quickly responded whenever notified of any need for his services..
The boys at the barracks-frequently sent for him to _do, repjijjrs' on that
^buildijig*- and/alivefys "-received''a ready and willing, response;' . " ' ' , , .

Flashing a brilliant offensive, the
Tarleton Plowboys and reserve?
plunged, smashed, passed, and ran
through the Randolph - line with
comparative ease. The day was ideal
for a game, and the Plowboys could
have-put. up a, much stronger fight
had the opposition been greater.
TARLETON HAS
• PLENTY OF FIGHT
In one of the pi Est' spectacular
football games seen here in several
years the Tarleton Plowboys defeat-
ed the McMurry Indians 13 to 0.
The. game was played" on a muddy
field, a drizzling rain falling from
the first whistle to the last. Time
out had to be called several times
During the.first part of the game to get the mud off the ball,
the Plowboys seemed at a loss,t and,. Tarleton took the lead in the

But toward the middle, of the game; perfect field; goal from the 20 yd.
they seemed to "find themselves,
and it began to look like a real
"Plowboy" game.-. At the begin-
ning of the second half the Plow-
boys were replaced by the second
string men. Their brand of. fight
was not so effective as the' Plow-
boys and the Badgers w.ere able 'to'
get three first downs.
Jack Johnson, playing his first
game of the year, showed' his old
form. He gained consistently, in
spite of opposition. He made two
spectacular runs—one for 50 yards
and the other for 40 yards, both
of which should have been touch-
downs, but he. was called back on
penalties made by his teammates. .
But even though we won a foot-
ball game it proved very dear, for
Wilkins, it cost us one of our best men.

good gains for the home team.
Patton proved himself invaluable
on the offensive, gaining consistently
disregarding all opposition.
On the kick off Taylor kicks off
over the goal line. The ball put in
play oh 20 yard line. Couch fails
to gain. Sheppard no gain. Shep
pard kicks to Johnson on 50 yard
line. No return. On the first play

before he is downed on 3 yard line.

Jennings, on an end around play,
circled left end for the only touch-
down of the game, - In the fourth
quarter Marr placed kicked another
field goal from the twenty five yard
line. . ' - , .
There were no ; individual stars
in the game, but the team work was
excellent. Tarlgton's forward wall
is the best that she has had in years.
At no time during, the game could
McMurray gain over three yards
through the line.
Only five passes' were tried dur-
ing the' game. Tarleton tried one-
in. the first period b' t it was jiot
completed, McMiirrvl completed 2:
passes, one for 7 yards and another
for 8 yards, but ..both were inef-
fective; the Tarleton secondary de-
fense was tackling so hard and sure
that McMurry fumbled the ball both
times.
The gatme was featured by. many
punts on both sides, , Mitchell made
only one good punt in the game
when he kicked 50 yards. Jen-
nings' best punt was for 50 yards
but he averaged 40 yards for the
entire .game.
Only four first downs were made
during the game, /Tarleton making
all four. Tarleton outplayed Mc-
Murry throughout the game, keep-
ing the ball iri McMujrry's territory
most of the tim6.
