The baseball season is here at
last. Our national sport is now being
played on the campus. But it seems
as if few students are aware of it.
But it is no more than plausible,
that a student body which wont come
to see a state championship foot-
ball or basketball team, will come
to see the openers of a prospective
baseball championship team.
"Clile" Devall, you pitch a wick-
ed ball, yes sir! , , '
We sure trimmed Daniel Baker
good. Fellows, .I'll tell you it looks
like a three way Championship this
year, sure 'nuff, ' ,
' That would be .fine business
wouldn't it? To have baseball rest-
ing, in our trojihy eas§ with state
V'fclMmpidhship on it. " \ " .

line of patter and' you can make
'the team fight.
Isn't the new regimental, color a
beauty.. We aye indeed proud' of
' such an emblem and we appreciate
the amount of work which must
have been done to make it possible.
NEBLETT, JOHNSON AND
WILLIAMS NAMED
POPULAR STUDENTS
Don't take things too easy. The
writer of this column delights to
preach so we will have a little fam-
ily talk. . •
Pep is the symbol., Let us take
the E out, : ;
A life of ease prevents happiness.
A life of E's efforts, energy, en-
durance—will buy happiness. So
stiffen your backbone, set your jaw-
bone, forget your wishbone and hit
the big road that leads to success,
remembering that the toll you pay
is work. A life of ease;—that is
the ambition of the "weak sister."
A life of E's—effort, energy and
efficiency.
The 1926 popularity contest drew
to a heated close Saturday morning
at chapel. Voting grew fast and
furious for a while; interest ran
high, and loud screams of- delight
from the left or right side of the
chapel hall clearly indicated which
side was in the lead,
Associate dean G. 0. Ferguson
was time keeper. Bro, S. B. Cul-
pepper was conductor of the affair,
vvhUe^ JVIiss Patterson tabulated
money and votes for the seniors
and Miss Sams for the' juniors.
Probably due to the faqt that en-
thusiasm and interest between the
two classes had been running so
high during the week accounted for
a sudden lull and hush eight min-
utes before the contest officially
closed. ^Thjs intense'sileiicd lasted
only a few seconds, then,; as if by
magie, voting became fast-' and.
oius again. Allen and Neblett drew
most of the interest, votesbalancing;
adh unbalacing their standing. Two
minutes before the contest closed
however, the votes for Neblett, so
far exceeded that of Junior Allen"
that the juniors lost interest-
Immediately after the contest the
votes were counted and subjected to
verification. Jack Johnson, football,
basketball, and baseball star and
general fayorite with the student
body, won the title of "All-Tarle-
tori B,oy." To MissMarjorie Neb-,
lett, sponsor to the- band and bus-
iness manager of' the Annual goes
the honor of "All-Tarleton Girl,"
Bob Williams, popular junior and
second lieutenant of the P.. M. S. &
T. Staff won, the title of "Most Mil-
itary Man."
Approximately 1182.00 was clear-
ed for the annual.

CEDAR'S CHATTER
• We have a' terrible time keeping
our household together. 01' lady
went a trajpsin off to Cow" Town on
Friday. He had no more than got-
ten home before Dusty pulled his
freight. Not even a. good bye. For
two long days and nights he was
gone. • W.e were worried. Then sud-
denly he showed up, arid "with a
smile that said *-Qh, Iv'e beep up
to meanness, but y.ou'll never know!'
The tragedy of it is ,that we don't
know, where he.;: was. One .thing is
sure though, he. Brought back a
wad of greenbacks,, big enough to
choke a tunnell.
RIFLE TEAM
, In a recent contest' with' Allen
Academy, the Tarleton , rifle team
lost for second time year, , This is
only the begining of a series of
matches to be held this spring. A
number of matches for the girls
team has been made also. We take
this opportunity to make urgent re-
quest that members of these, teams
report for practice.
ENGINEER'S CONFAB
The Engineer's Club will render
ah interesting program Thursday,
March. 25th, 7:00 p. in.' Again the
members of the Club request that all
engineering students ,,who .possibly
can be present. Thanks to Mr.
Funkhouser, the Club will soon
have a' radio installed in the club
room—all thaV remains to be done
is to mantle , the aerial. ^
The J-Tac Staff, has extended to
the Engineer's Club the privilege of
publishing an issue of the J-Tac in
the near future. This would mean
that the members of the Club will
have to give their concentrated ef-
forts to the project to successfully
carry out the undertaking. For this
reason it will be necessary that all
engineers consider the matter care-
fully, and be prepared to submit
plans arid suggestions for the move-
ment at the approaching meeting.
Engineers, there is sufficient seat-
ing capacity for i all of you, and
no one would appreciate your at-
tendance more than the Club mem-
bers, themselves.
A prominent St, Paul attorney,
sentenced for contempt, transferred
his law office to jail arid received
his clients in hie cell.

PLOWBOYS SPLIT WITH HOWARD PAYNE
AND TAKE TWO FROM DANIEL BAKER
'ON YE TARLETON"
AMENDED
In view of the fact that our pres-
ent "On Ye Tarleton," although the
words are excellent and the spirit un-
beatable, is literally appropriate on-
ly to the militant attitude of the
football. season. I herewith tender
this little verse. I do not wish that
it shall replace the dear old song
we all know so well but only hope
that it may at least become a little
ssiter to' it to be sung on milder
Occasions than the combat of the
girl.'
On ye Tarleton! *
On ye Tarleton!
'high;. - „

Your traditions—
■ Raise them to, the sky.
On ye Tarleton! ,
On 1 ye Tarleton!

O "Tarleton, how I love you, none
have guessed. ',

FIRST GAME
John Tarleton opened the season
on Hays Field last Friday by defeat-
ing the Yellow Jackets of Howard-
Payne in a ten inning' battle 4 to 3.
Pruitt, Itasca Hi product, pitched
the whole game, allowing the vis-
itors six scattered hits. Pruitt
showed an unusual amount of stuff
for an early season game. With a lit-
tle more control Pruitt promises
to be one of the mainstays of the
Plowboy Pitching Staff.
Williams, caught a nice game be-
hind the bat ismd did not allow a
runner to steal second.
Captain Johnson led in hitting
W-ith__.un.£ double and a. single. -The
visitors tied thet gaihe in. the eighth
innings with two runs. In the tenth
inning Pruitt started off with a sin-
gle, Williams- reached first on an
error. Johnson came to bat and
drove out a single that scored the
winning run.
