PLOWBOY
The score went haywire again
with the T. M. C. Bulldogs on the
long- end of a 13-to-0 count. In the
first ten minutes of the game Judd,
left end for the Bulldogs, dashed
35 yards for the first touchdown.
The other score came later in the
game.
The Plowboys rallied several
times, but the pace dragged. All
the members of the club played
good ball, but the decisive punch
was lacking to put the ball over.
Everybody did his best with Kin-
ard and Stapp having only a slight
edge on the rest of the boys in the
backiield. Crook, Logan, Taylor,
and Cox did good work, with the
others trailing- close behind.
In the last few minutes of the
game the Flowboys were in a po-
sition to score, but the whistle end-
ed the game after several line
plays failed to get through.
Hoover stepped out as a ball-
carrier yesterday afternoon and
was fairly successful with it.
Well, the Army team plays the
Ranger Junior College squad there
for the next-to-the-last game of the
season, and we are backing them
to win when they go over for the
trip.
The Plowboys lost a 19 to 0 de-
cision to the Weatherford Coyotes
last Saturday. It was a much clos-
er game than the score indicates.
The Coyotes, blocked a punt for a
touchdown early in the first quar-
ter and this seemed to take the
spirit out of the Plowboys, who
did not play their best after that,
Einavd w:is the outstanding player
of the game. Taylor showed up well
in the line. Ranspot and Splawn
starred for the visitors. Tuffy Ad-
am's blocking: looked good as well
us the defensive playing of Butler,
sub-center. The officials were Art
Weber, Michigan, referee; Ray Mc-
Culloch, T. C. U. umpire; and Rube
Leissner, Texas,a head linesman.
Weatherford made seven first
downs to six for Tarleton.
Students, there has been a lot of
griping about the football team
and the school ill general. It was
disappointing to lose that game
Saturday, I'll admit, but what
then? Many students have blamed
the coach. Hoover made a speech
in chapel Monday morning, stating
that the team had fallen down on
their part and asked that the
student body stay behind them
and they would try to show
them something. Students, one
football player said that it was
the team's fault, that they did not
want to play football. Listen, it
is not the coach's fault any more
than it is anyone else's fault. The
team just hasn't played together
as it should. Let's not let them
down now. Let's come out to the
games and give them everything
that we've got. You won't lose any-
thing' by it.
Some students have been griping
about the rules at Tarleton and
saying that they were going else-
where after mid-term. Students,
the Dean and the faculty are try-
ing their best to remedy the situa-
tion. Dean Davis sent out a letter
to each faculty member for their
written opinion on the question of
mixed dancing. I believe that the
majority of the faculty is for danc-
ing and an overwhelming majority
iof the students are for it. It may
not be long before we have mixed
dancing in Tarleton. Anyhow, let's
give the Dean and the faculty ev-
ery chance to co-operate with the
student body and the benefit of all
doubts. Tarleton is a pretty good
old place after all.
Well, maybe I'll be seem' you at
a dance sometime.

SERGEANT BUSCHMAN
RECEIVES SILVER STAR
L
Receives His Sixth Medal For Cap-
turing Austrian Gun and
Six Prisoners
Sergeant -Jerome Busehmann re-
ceived the Silver Star medal from
the government this last week for
a division citation given him for
special service during the World
War. This citation was given to
him for a duty which he did that
was out of line of regular or spec-
ial duty. He volunteered to take a
squad of men and to try to capture
some field guns from the enemy.
With the aid of his men he cap-
tured four Austrian 88mm. field
guns and six prisoners. There were
■about two thousand rounds of am-
munition with the guns, and he did
not want to carry that amount
back, and could not destroy it very
easily. He made the German pris-
oners turn the guns toward the
German lines and fire the entire
amount of ammunition. After that
Sergeant Buschmann disabled the
guns and returned to his company
commander to report his suc-
cess. For this deed he received div-
ision citation. It has only been of
late that the government has de-
cided to give medals for this eita~
tion.
This Silver Star medal is the
sixth that he has received. He has
the Medaille Militaire, Croix de
Guerre with palm leaf, United Sta-
tes Distinguished Service Cross,
Mexican Border Medal, and Vic-
tory Medal.
Remains of several Indian cities
are being excavated in the Pan-
handle. The inhabitants are
thought to have left before 1541.—

MORE ON HONOR ROLL
IS GOAL FOR PRELIM
With the end of the first six-
week preliminary, the standard of
grades is much lower than it
should be. There were only forty-
five students on the honor roll. The
requirements for attaining the
honor roll are that one must make
80 or above on all subjects. With
this standard, the honor roll should
be greatly increased the second
preliminary,
A shock, or maybe a natural
event, came to a great many stu-
dents when they found their names
on the ten-hour list. This list was
larger than it should be at this
time.
A large honor-roll and a smaller
ten-hour list may be attained by a
more intensive effort and by more
studying on the part of the student
body.
ENGINEERS' CLUB TO HAVE
PICNIC and GRASSBURR PAGE
The printing shop of the Masonic
Home not only pays its expenses,
but is also helping pay for the new
printing building.
The Engineers' Club met Monday,
November 13, at 7:15 o'clock in the
Engineering building to discuss the
plans of the club. The engineers
voted unanimously to buy a page
in the Grassburr. After discussing-
various plans as to how to raise
money for the club, the engineers
then began discussion of a picnic.
It was decided that the club would
go on the picnic Saturday, Novem-
ber 25.
A special meeting of the club
was held immediately after chapel
on Wednesday at which plans for
the annual page were further dis-
cussed.
Student Has Very Interesting Experience
Getting His Picture Made for the Annual
"Are you a senior or a junior?
Senior? Well, that's fine. Sign your
name right here just like you want
it to go in the annual. All right, let
me have your sixty cents, please.
I thank you. We will go back into
the studio and have the picture
made. My, my, but those whiskers
will not help the picture any; come
right on back here and brush up a
little." This is the usual conversa-
tion that Mr. Baxley carries on
when you go to get your picture
made.
Mr. Baxley escorts you into the
"primping" room where you look
yourself over once more before the
camera does. He tells you to sit
on a bench and face the camera.
While you are sitting in a very
dignified pose, Mr. Baxley hurries
about to ai'range the screen in the
order to give correct lighting and
background for the picture. Final-
ly he gets the screens arranged
and the lights shining on you, and
you feel very much relieved be-
cause you think that he is almost
ready.
By this time your blouse is very
warm and your back very tired
from the unnatural pose. Mr. Bax-
ley dashes back behind the camera
and says, "Now turn your head a
^ttle more this way. That's fine.
Lift the ehin a little. Don't look so
serious. All right, hold it." He
sticks his hand under the hood and
begins to adjust the camera. The
camera is backed up and cranked
higher, and the shutters tested. He
comes from behind the camera and
looks you over again. This time
you almost have a nervous break-
down. At last he goes into the
back room and returns with the
photographic plate. When the plate
is adjusted into the camera, he
asks you if all the decorations are
official. By official he meant were
the medals and service pins your
own. You assure him that they are.
He grasps the bulb to release
the shutters, and he says, "Hold
right still. Smile. That is too much.
Don't be so serious. Close the lips
so that you will look more natural.
That is very good; now, look this
way. No, no! Be still! those medals
are swinging again." He comes
over to you and stops the swinging
articles, telling you not to be so
nervous. You hold your breath and
try to be at ease at the same time.
Mr. Baxley indicates where you
shall look; and he presses the bulb,
and the picture is exposed. Whew,
what a relief. You slump down to
rest your tired muscles. Then you
start to get up, and Mr. Baxley
says, "I make two exposures of
you seniors; so I want you to sit
in another pose." What, again. If
it has to be done, it just has to be
done You go through the same
method of posing and waiting as
for the first. This period of wait-
ing is very short, and one is very
happy to get up and go back to his
natural habits.
Mr. Baxley laughs and jokes
with yon the entire time, thu3 mak-
ing the time spent there as enjoy-
able as possible. He says to you as
you leave the studio, "Come back
tomorrow afternoon, and you may
see the proofs. I thank you." You
feel greatly relieved in two ways:
First, you have had the picture
made; and second, you have done
your bit toward the publication of
the Grassburr.

STUDENTS CELEBRATE
ARMISTICE DAY WITH
SPEECHJND PARADE
Honorable J. Manley Head Makes
Talk on Closer World
Relationships
The students assembled at 9:45
a. m. fo-r the Armistice Day pro-
gram and marched into the audi-
torium in military style. Several
parents, relatives and friends were
present, and everyone did his best
on that account. The high points
of the program were the remarks
by Dean Davis, the speech of the
Honorable J, Manley Head, and the
military parade and review. Dean
Davis told several of his memories
of the hardships which the Ameri-
can boys had to endure. His speech,
together with the presence on the
stage of several World War veter-
ans, served to produce the proper
Armistice Day spirit. Honorable J.
Manley Head, an ex-Tarletonite,
then made his speech, which was
an appeal for the United States to
enter into close political relations
with Europe and the other coun-
tries of the world, thus lessening
the chances of future wars. After
two songs, "Onward Christian Sol-
diers" and "Keep the Home Fires
Burning," in which the students
and visitors joined, the cadets as-
sembled on the drill field for the
military parade and review. The
band played "The Star-Spangled
Banner" while the corps presented
arms. The companies then passed
in review.
COMPANIES "A" AND "B" WIN
GAMES IN CO.'BASKETBALL
Basketball competition between
the companies of the Cadet Corps
started last Wednesday afternoon
when the Company "B" team de-
feated the Company "C" team. The
second game was played Thursday
afternoon between Companies "A"
and "B" "A" Company's team, each
member of which is well over six
feet in height, easily defeated the
"D" Company team.
"A" Company, more by virtue of
the height of its players than any-
thing else, is slated to win. the in-
tercompany contest. Company bas-
ketball as played each year, but m
previous years the men have not
been arranged in companies accord-
ing to height.
CHOIR FORMED, LIONS MEET
HELD AT PRE-LAW PICNIC
The would-be lawyers and their
fiances met at the Education Build-
ing Friday, November 10, in order
that they might attend the picnie.
After all had assembled they de-
cided to go to the City Park to
complete their social. Upon arrival
at the park, a choir was formed in
which many old songs were reviv-
ed, Along with the choir music, 01-
lie Little sang a solo.
The lads and lassies then settled
down and stuffed themselves with
weiners and buns, marshmallows,
and apples, until the supply was
exhausted.
Mr. Eaves, the clubs' legal advis-
er, then started a liar's convention
in which the biggest liar won a
prize. It would have been a very
difficult problem to pick a winner
if Virginia Ayers had not suddenly
spoken up from nowhere and said
something about where she had to
go to find some water.
The party then broke up and ev-
eryone returned home.
The award for the best story
in last week's J-Tac went to
Mary Jo Denton for her write-
up about Peggy Nell Hoover.
Second place went to A. D. Liv-
ingston for his editorial, "Get
Your Pictures Made."
Miss Pearl Mahan acted as
judge for last week's contest.
