PLOWBOYS WIN TWO GAMES FROM THE GAINESVILLE TIGERS
PLQWBOY!
The honor rolls for the third re-
port period and the first semester
were rather large. Seventy-one
names appeared on the semester
honor roll while iifty-nine students
made the honor roll of the third pre-
liminary report.
Two boys made the All-A honor
roll for the first semester. It is very
interesting to note that no girls
aehioved this honor..
Tarleton students have been doing
exceedingly good work this year.
It appears that Tarleton is duo
to have a liaiiner year, as the en-
rollment has already tied the all-
time record of 1011.

Students, keep that ole spirit go-
ing throughout the last few basket-
ball games. The Plowboys will need
it down the home stretch. .Remember
that it will be impossible for many
to attend the tournament.
Many of the cadets seem to be
athletically inclined. They persist in
pulling a stampede for the exits af-
ter chapel is dismissed. It seems that
We are going back to the days of
"The Thundering Herd." This is not
a very good practice especially in
Tarleton's new auditorium.
Say folks, did you notice how
those second string Plowboys show-
ed up against Gainesville the other
night 1 It looks as if these boys will
develop into great players. These re-
serve men will prove very valuable
in the hard grind in the tournament
at the end of this month.
We will have to hand it to the
Seniors for their excellent issue of
the .T-Tac. Still, is there any com-
parison with this issue?

EDDY BROWN STRING
QUARTETTE RENDERS
EXCELLENT PROGRAM
Internationally Famous Artists Give
Real Treat in Lyceum Number
Tuesday Evening
Last Tuesday evening the Eddy
Brown String Quartet gave an inter-
esting program at the College Audi-
torium. These artists have long
pledged themselves to offer tho high-
est in the art of quartet playing,
aiid everyone who heard them play
will agree that their goal is not
far oft'.
'Die members composing-the quar-
tet are Eddy Brown, first violinist;
Philip Frank, second violin; Antonio
Borello, viola; Henry Seidman, vio-
lin-cellist.
. Those who "appreciate good music
enjoyed the renditions ,and say that
itt.i«-. the best music of its type that
they have ever heard. The quartet
appeared to be perfectly familiar
with the testing work of classical
music and its rendition could be re-
garded as a true re-echo of an amaz-
nigly complicated work.

Congratulations From The Dean
I want to congratulate the junior class for its very splendid
showing, this year. I am of the opinion, after very careful and
deliberate consideration, that the general tone and spirit of the
student body this year is as good, if not better, than over before.
I believe there is less of the falderal, carelessness, and indifferent1
attitude about the college than usual. Ou the other hand, it seems
to me that there has been a seriousness of attitude of mind on the
part of the students that has been conducive to a better quality of
work and a better understanding of conditions as a whole. There
is evidence of determination on the part of the students this year
to strive and sacrifice to attain a highefgoaCTlia junior class has
made a great showing in this respect.
The junior class is powerful in its influence .11 this institution
because of its large number as compared to the other classes. In
fact, practically half of the student, body is clavted within the
junior division. Consequently, the junior class has within it the
power to practically mold and set the standards of tho institution.
Of course, the class could: assume an indifferent attitude and there-
by not affect the standard by way of lowering it or raising it by
merely maintaining medium. On the other hand, the junior class
has within it the capacity of raising or lowering thegeneral level
of college spirit1.
I desire to congratulate every one oi: you for the seriousness of
attitude of miiul, for your determined effort, and for the spirit of
work and sacrifice you have maintained this year.
Sincerely,
V,-.. J. THOMAS DAVIS, Dean.

According to records in my office, the junior class of this year g]
is the largest in the history of Tarleton. g]
There are over five hundred of you, and how splendid it would g
lie if all of you" could come back next year to complete another g]
year's work. Instead of having a senior class of about 130 the g]

PLAN CAMPAIGN
FOR SUBSCRIBERS
A Fifty Dollar Prize Offered to The
Class First Getting One Hundred
Per Cent Membership
In about three months, or perhaps
an even shorter time, the Grassburr
will be in "the hands of the students.
The staff is making every effort to
build a book that will be represen-
tative of t-lio student body, and it is
their honest belief that tho result
will be a yearbook that every Tarle-
ton student, will be proud to own.
No_t_.QnJy will lie be proud_of.it "t
the end of this year, but he wi
treasure it in years to follow 1-
cause it will help him to recall the
days he has spent in Tarleton.
But according to the records in
the business office, there are still a
great many students who have not
yet bought their annuals. Since this
is true, the week beginning Monday,
February 17, and ending Monday,
February 124, will be devoted to a
membership drive. During this week
those students who have put off buy-
ing their Grassburrs will have an
opportunity to subscribe.
This membership drive will be in
the nature of a competition between
classes, a prize being awarded to the
class which buys 100 per cent first.
The members of the Grassburr staff
and members of various classes will
be on the sales committee,

Cowan Leads Scoring With Twenty-
Five Points For Two
Games
The Tarleton Plowboys defeated
the Gainesville Tigers in a two-game ,,
series by a margin of 35 to 17 in
the first and 37 to 24 in the last. lit
the first game there was a decided
change in spirit during the last half.
The game was rather slow through- i
out tho first half, but it was a fast <
fray throughout the second period.
In the second game both teams
started out fighting hard and kept
the pace up all throughout the game.
The reserves saw service half of
each game.
During 'the first few minutes
things looked rather bad; as the.
Tigers rung tho field goals before
the game was well under way.
" 'tie yelling started then, and the
i)f; started the old fight. At the
one of the first quarter the score
was .10 0 in favor of the Plow-
boys. Eldridge, L., Eldridge F., liod-
gers, Joe, Grilliland and I'irtle went
into the game. This set of men pluy'
ed the rest of the half and showed
up well.
Duiing the intermission something
happened to the boys. They said it-
was a rpeeeh mado by the coach.

Kiss" than to see the Plowboys in.
