THE J-TAC
PAGE THREE
The outcome of Saturday niKht'ij
garni1 was qui to a disappointment!
to the fans who ventured over;
from Arlington. From their ex-
pressions before the battle, it
would seem they were confident
of the final score.
The NTAC fray marked the he-
ginning of a new policy oil the
basketball floor. The coach now
plans to use more players in each
game than he has in Ihe past.
Now that there is no record to
worry about, a little experimenting
will do no harm. From the looks
of the last tram*, we have two
complete outfits that can bp de-
pended upon to play real basket-
ball-
Nest corifercnc-e game on sched-
ule is with Hillsboro Friday night
at the g-ym. There's no reason why
1'lowbo.v fans shouldn't turn out
en mass to see the boys start get-
tinfr in shape for1 their nest fi'o
with NTAC the 20th. Rut don't
set the idea that the outfit from
Hilisboro will he an push-over. If \
we can judge from what they have
done in the past, they will be fight-
ers. Nothing would suit them bet-
ter than to provide another up-;
set. !
PROF. FOOTE MISSES
FIRST GAME IN 18
SEASONS; IB SICK
As riowboy fans watched
their team smother the outfit
from Clifton lust Friday ni^ht,
few realized in the excitement
that one of their staunches!
supporters was missing.
Professor J. W. Foote, h-Cad
of the Business Administration
Department, failed to See the
Plowbnvs plnv a hojnc frame for
the first time in 18 years.
Throughout these years he
has not contented himself with
merely attending the games
himself, hut many town boys
can tell of seeing Tarleton
games as his ^uest.
The J-Tac takes this chance
to salute a real backer of the
Purple and White.
Will Be At Tarleton
:
that they actually are dangerous
to use.
Quite a few cadets are interested
in boxing as well as other rccogni/.-
i d infra-mural sports, Since there
is no organized activity of that
sort, why couldn't more equipment
be provided so that a boxing lea-
fine be formed? There are several
boys who are more than capable of
organizing such a sport.

iPLOWBOYS WIN
FROM CLIFTON
According to the very gullible
Mr. "Hloudy" Cross, sports scribe
for a Ran Angclo daily, the Concho
tribe fairly ran over the Purple
and White last Tuesday. Will Mr.
Cross please check his source of
information and publish a confir-
mation? Personal letters received
from that city don't read that way.
News of the victory of the f old-'
en Glove fighters in Brownwood j
brings up another question. Why1
isn't there enough equipment pro-
vided in the gym for those stud-
ents who aren't taking part in
inter-collegiate athletics? Those
Ihivs went to a district tournament,
brought a great deal of publicity
to the college, and underwent a
great deal of hard work with no
help from the school. In fact, box-
ing equipment at the gym consists
of one pair of heat-up boxing glov
es that are so torp and dirty i

Strange yells of pain and rnany

microscopes at small slides on
which human blood bad been put!
Men and women van this way and

The talk was in whispers! Mys-
tery surrounded the group at one
desk where a heated debate was
taking place. The conversation ran
something like this.
"I think they look like dough-
iuits,"
No, they look more like air-
uie tires."
l'I disagree; they look look like

Was this a massacre? No. it

With the cage season well in-

mas Tinker, forward from Mt.
Vernon, continues to hold the
scoring leadership of the Tar-
leton Plowboys. Tinker, with
l>2 points, has been held back
with his scoring record, not
having suited-out for two of
the games.
Ralph Castillo, former All-
Star center from El Paso, has
increased his total and is now
challenging Tinker for first

Conuchie, towering center also

with 17 points.

Bank on His Judgment
John L. Pinnix—h?dependent Ware-
houseman—h one of many tobacco
experts ivho prefer Luckies...
stated thiit while the showing
made for General Hrees inspection
\viis highly coinni 'iidahle, consider-
ing the limited period of time over
which i raining had beell conducted,
considerable improvement, niusl be
made prior io the annual in-pec-
l ion.
IN THE warehouses Mr. Pinnix has managed in
Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina,
46,000,000 pi vjmis of tobacco have been sold. Tanners
travel many miles to bring their crops to Mr, Pinnix's
warehouse for sale. Reason is that they respect his
tobacco experience and business integrity. So surely
Mr. Pinnix's views are worth yttttr respect, too.
"At every market I've ever attended," says Mr.
Pinnix, "Lucky Strike has bought the
ripest, mellowest tobacco offered.
That's why I've smoked Luckies ever
since 1 first became a warehouseman
20 years ago."
Mr. Pinnix's statement is borne out
by sworn records which show chat,
among independent tobacco experts
— auctioneers, buyers, ,md ware-
housemen—Luckics have over
twice as many exclusive smok-
ers as have all the other ^ ^ — -
cigarettes combined.

Coltfin prints, silk prints, solid

every color, every material, and

imrades on Thursday afternoons.
All up and down the srirls' dormi-

of each week s'irl^ are running

■socks, shoes, or even dresses, Bui
when the time comes, g-irls fat,
girls slim, frirls short, and ^irls
tall, all turn out to watch the fav-
orite boy friend "strut his stuff."
Just by walking- up and down the
street by the drill field, one can
hear expressions am! conversations
of all kinds.
Mary Lee might be heard to
say that she thinks lb J. is the
handsomest thiujy in his uniform!
And llosemary is always present
to see Belroar swine: hi.s hnton and

en hand to see Max march, and
Mary watches attentively to see

can rendily see iu which direction

pay close attention to the com-
mands. but. after the corps is off
the field, the chatter acain begins,
(bio Rivl thinks her boyfriend was
the best marching: soldier on the
field and another girl radically dis-
agrees with her, for she thought
that her admirer was t.he shining
li^'hl of the hour.
Thursday after Thursday may
come and ro, retreat parados con-
tinue, but the co-eds of John Tar-
leton College will always be loyal
and true to their favorite cadets.
They watch t.hem while they are
on the field; they give them en-:
courajK-ment when they are ofF the'
field; who knows—it may be the
girls who made it possible for the

bef(>rc a crowd of 1200 hero last
night, Tarleton pujrilists made an
impressive showing: against the.
best material hi this part of
Texas,
Hoys vepvescnling Tarleton were
W. C. Butler, featherweight; Tom
Bradley, flyweitfbt: TIamp Lyle,
welterweight; W. lb Stone, light-
heavyweight.
- The fighting- of Walter Stone
proved to be the feature of the
tonrn;imerit. Tn his first bout he
met Syd liussel, a Howard Payne
football player. The fight went the-
full three rounds hut Stone scored
knockdowns in every round 'to win
liy an easy decision. Meeting an-
ether liirht heavy in the finals by
the name of Ward, he brought the.
crowd to its feet by scoring a
knockout in the: first DO seconds
of the first round.
Stone's performance makes him
nn outstanding contender in the,
state finals to be held in Fort
Worth on the 17th and 18th of
(hit; month.
Butler entered the ring for his
fights a great, favorite with the
crowd. He carried the fisrht to both
his opponents and won by a wide
margin of points. His first fight
gave him litlle trouble; but the
second, with Leo Maples of Blan-
ktt. provided plenty of interest.
Butler also wil k-nter the final for
