Every student, should have at
some time or another noticed those
four silver basketball trophies oil
display in the Administration build-
in}?: advertising the fact that the
Plowboys have been district
champs for the past four years.
It begins to look very much as
though there will be a fifth there
before long.

That is the Iniyest number of Do

a sinse decree in quite a while. |
Said Weichsel Baxli y, Stephen- i

have ever seen pi-esented." \
Of the several Masons present j

The middle of last week, the
Hillsboro outfit knocked the NTAO
boys for a loop and then our vic-
tory of Satui-day night makes tho
outlook quite rosy.
Perhaps this year's trophy won't
have "undefeated" written aei'oss
it but it still means something to
have the top seat in this league.
Conprraulations to one of the gam-
est teams ever to take the Tarle-
ton floor.
Tonight when the Plowboys face
the Ranger Junior College five.
Carl McConachie will become eli-
gible for conference play. Just
whether the coach plans to start
him or not has riot been determined
but no senior will ever forget his
plavingr last year. We wish that
this year's fans could have seen
more of him.

In Score Race
Ralph Castillo, freshman for-

hold his position an high scorer for

points in the Weatherford game
to brim* his season total up to 70.
Tommy Tinker continues to hold
second position with 73 and Paul

With only four games left on

CARL McCONACIIIE
BF-COMES ACTIVE AGAIN
Carl MeConnchie.. stellar Plow-
boy basketball star last year, will
become eligible ■- today so that he
may play in the last conference
.name of the year.
Carl entered Texas A. & M. Col-
lege but transferred back to Tar-
leton. He is returning to the active
conference players' list as was
announced by Coach Wisdom Sat-
ui'day.
There's a movement underway
for as many cadets as possible
to make a trip t.o Aldington Sat-
urday to watch the last JTAC-
N'TAC fray of the year. Remember j
last year's pime'! Even after the
jrame went an extra period, there |
was only a one-point difference in j
scores. Just because the Purple \
and White looked' better in their;
first same of the season can't;
mean a thing-. Whenever those two
teams svet together, it's one of
those wide-open affairs where any-
thin."; can happen and usually does.]

Stone, lost an ultra-close de.Mon .
to a Houston boy, Billy Colbert, j
Stone deserves plenty of credit,
lie paid his own training and ti-av-
liiij* expenses and did some of the
b.-sf boxins that this school has
i ever been g'iven credit for. You can
expect hi«j thin.es for him if he
decides to enter a^ain this year.
As the pladiators of intramural
sports plunge into action, we no-j
tice many interesting things from

tors. hi these basketball frames,

The playing- was fairly close '

A Tarleton rally dashed Weath-

White grabbed a lead that assurred
their fifth consecutive victory.
Paul McConachie was high point

to his credit. Buchanan, Howell,
and Porter tied for honors on the
Weatherford outfit with seven
points each.

Price's versatility in track work
is shown by the fact that in high
school he won second in the broad
jump and the 220-yard dash. He
also was anchor man in the mile
relay in the county meet. Ilis

Flashing into action with a ter-
rific concussion the basketball
teams begun their intramural
schedule on February 14. In the
season opener, Co, A met Co. D
at the gymnasium at 1'our-thirty,
wlii(-■ h is the time all inti-amural
games will be played. Getting off
to a slow start, Co. D finished
strong by taking the game hy a
top-heavy score of 20 to 6.
Relying on concentrated team-
work Co. B downed Co. E by a
score of 2-1 to IS, Trading by three
points at the half Co. B eased by
their opponents to win handily in
the final quarter. Although none
of the teams have practiced to-
gether, the teamwork and the
sportsmanship was remarkable.
One of the most powerful teams
was unveiled when the lanky C
company cjuintet outfought the Co.
F five. Much taller and faster the
Co. C boys turned their opponents
back in every crisis. Co. F's de-
fense crumbled when the Co. C
team began to swish the ball
thi-ough the basket from long dis-
tance, Co. C is one of the most
dangerous contenders for the bas-
ketball crown.
A scheduled game for Friday.
February 18, between Co. A and
Co. E was postponed indefinitely.
Games between rural schools
caused the postponement.
At the present time Hard-esty of
Co. R leads in the scoring rac-
with 1-1 points. Bearden of Co. F>
follows him with 8 points.
A competition which will cause
must interest, is expected to re-
sult from the scoring abiilty of
these lads.
