.We are up against a team that
has ■ winning, habits. They are
from cj town that supports them to
the very last. It looks as thaugh
we, will go into the game as the un-
de,r-clogs. ,
Judging fi'bmthe score of i^ari
dolph's gaines vfitl; -McMurry and
(,'lil'ton, tl^e Badgers have the edge
on us. ■ Near the first pf the season
we defeated Gliftpn. by the huge
score of 70-0; just last weel$ Ean-
dolph defeated, a rejuvenated Clif-
ton team 33-0.
:The Plowboys were defeated by
the McMurry Indians 32-0; Ran-
dolph won from the same team 6-2.
Bpth^ gafees. wefe played at Abi-
lene.
Wa^ Banks, and Bryant are
starring' for the Badgers this year.
They are ■ supported, by a) fast, ag-
gres^iyd team made up of athletes
from all over the Oil Belt district,
considered the strongest in high
school football circles.
In only one respect do we have
the advantage. We play them on
IJays Field! The Tarleton "twelfth
man" will be in the game. If we
win you, the twelfth man, will tie
the reason. Will you do it?
Captain, f?avis will be playing
his last game under the Tarleton
colors. Think what it means tp
him to win. II; should mean as
much to you.
A number of "exes" will be here
for the game. They remember
hqw Tarletop used"to treat Gi;ubbs.

nent in many student activities, fie

known as "Lefty" Hart. At the
beginning of this yeay he went out

Whatever Weldon did, he did
well, He had a real talent fop
Writing, which talent, together
with his fine characteristics, have
made, him an invaluable member of
the J-Tac staff. His going will
leave a vacant place on our staff

Mr. H. L- Ewing, of Frank
brothers, has informed authorities
that his firm will offer a valuable
trophy to, the best drilled bat^Men
in the Tal'luton Cadet Corps this
year. This will be given in addi-
tion to the trophies for the best
drilled squad, platoon, and com-

ers, R. E, Cox, and Blakeney's.
Frank Brothers is a San Antonio
firm which supplies the cadet co^ps
with uniforms. They are interested
in the R. O.. T. C. units, and this
trophy offered is one of the many
things done by them to promote
the military training in high
schools and* colleges.
Heretofore the cadet corps has
been in one battalion, but this year,
the increased number of cadets ne-
cessitated two battalions, which
have already begun to vie with one
another for hPnors. The cadet
corps wishesN to express then? ap-

PEP MEETINGS
Monday and Wednesday Night Pep
Meetings Are Great . Success
and Show Unusual Pep
Have we lost our pep: ' We
haven't! . Those pep meetings this
week were just what peprmcetings
should bp. Why; when that' twelfth
man started his work-out, the old
gym rocked and quivered to her
very foundation. If you have never
heard real yelling* or seen sure-
enough pep, you should have, been
to our pep-meetings;—but wait,
you have a chance to heal' just
such things—come to. the game
this afternoon.
'In these two meetings, Monday
and Wednesday, evenings, the stu-^
dent body showed its desire , tp spur
that good old team on to victory;
and its battle-cry was heard and
understood. That pent-up energy
and enthusiasm gave way this
Week, the last week of the football
season, and sent" its many-voiced
cry to rolling; through the air.
BEAT RANDOLPH is our slogan
and our aim.

There are teams that have
won more games, ]qut they
were not composed, of our
personal frieifds. There are
teams that have had more
publicity;, perhaps they had
more influential backers.
Plowboys, we do not back
you just for the glory or
4 the fame you may yin for
yourselves or the school, but
because you are, to us, the
best and most sportsman-
like band of athletes in thp
state, W<? aye baqk of yqii
whether you. win or lose, but
we feel that y<P will. win.
There is a; sjiirit that means
mpre , 'to a team than
strength can ever mean, and
we believe ypu have that
spirit." We are honored in
that you are our friends and
fellow students of today,
and will be our associates in
future life. Consider us as
one with you in spirit, even
though we do not have , art
to give you physical aid,
T. T. P's of ,'28-'29
Tarleton meets. Raudolp.h today
in what promises to b& one of tho
hardest fought games ever seen on
Hays Feld. While fhe Badgers are i
not traditional rivals, as was
Grubbs, they have one of the
strongest teams in this section of
the st^te. Their defeats of Mc-
Murry and Clifton give them quite
an edge in the pre-game dope, but
the fact thsit the, game i$ played
here may have a counter-effect on
the dope. Then the probable ab-
sence of Hunter from the, Plowboy
line-up will. hurt. our chances, de- ~
spite/ the fact that Allen, and Ben-
nett haVe proved" most capable sub-
stitutes. The Badgers played a,
game last Friday, when Tarleton
had an open date; so the PlowMys .
have had a good rest and should be
in first-class condition for the en-
counter Thursday.
The Randolph team and its sup-
porters will come here determined
to carry back to Cisco another vic-
tory, but Coach Wisdom, Captain
Davis and the rest of the team,
;(nd the entire student body of
Tarleton is equally determined that
the record of Tarleton teams on
Thanksgiving will i;emain intact.
Probably several hundreds of ex-
stud,ents will be here for th game,
remembering th® reception of past
years. All Tarleton is determined
tp give them the. same sort of sight
this year.
Coaches Wisdom and Adams
have been driving the football men
hard, this last week to bring them
to an edge for this all-Important
game. Running plays, passes, and
Slight, ha,rd football tsws. drilled
on, with results -that promise the
Badgers a real fight.
The football starting Uheup for
the Plowboys: Davis a.nd Bacon,
ends; Bryant and Hendrickson1,
tackles; Sadler and Cox, guards;
"Walker, penter; Bennett, quarter;
Rudder and Spearman, halves; and
Porter, full.

One of the most unusual and en-
joyable events of the gala week
preceding thft Thanksgiving . holi-
days was the Negro Minstrel pre-
sented to a strictly feminine audi-
ence at the Auditorium Monday
night. . ' 1'
The curtain rqsp upon a scene of

the strains, of old Southern melo-
dies sung by this motley company
and accqmpanied by the Ten Lumps
of Chai:coal who played merry, jazz
tilts duriiig the entire program.
Among the sedate faulty mem-
bers tq display their "dark" talents
were Herber^ Pagan, Dace Meyers,
Harry Boyer and John Oliver.
Jiggs, Charlestons, the plinkin'g
of banjos and the syncopated
sounds from muffled trumpets
mingled with negro: dialogues and
musical readings completed1 an en-
(teB't'ainment which had made for the
coweds, a delightful evening. '
