school. They have an enrollment
this year of 260, the largest ever,
and they are all taught in one
building, half of which is used by
Hillsboro High School. They have
no dormitories, no library* no cam-
pus, and worst of all they have no
spirit. Our pep suad, composed of
Colonel Dpn Rankin, Joe Boone,
^R$lph Castillo, Lloyd C. Hyatt, Ed-
win Hawkins, Lavoiee Scudday,
and others drowned out the feeble
effort? of the Indiana. i
One-of the highlights of the
game was the way in which this
bunch mutilated "On Ye Tarlc-
ton,*" it- was almost unrecognizable.
However, the spirit behind it was
good.

New Mascot
A new mascdt has been adopted
among the dormitory girls. A lit-
tle grey kitten with white and tan
spots is making its home in the
halls and various, rooms of the dor-
mitory.
Each girl takes pity on the mas-
cot and each tries to see how much
she can feed it. As a result the
kitten is forced to turn down per-
fectly good food. There is also a
warrant out for the culprits who
very politely 'and quietly clipped
off part of the fur off the cat's
tail and left only a soft grey turft
at the end! >
As- it is beginning to get close
to winter time, the girls are afraid
that the cat will catch cold; and
even if it does not catch cold, they
are quite sure it is very self-con-
scious with the fur clipped off to
tail.

The Hillsboro tackle, Nelson,
liyed up to his reputation given to
him by the Weatherford team. He
was in on many tackles and was
exceedingly hard to block. Although
he did not play the full sixty min-
utes, due to a recent illness, he was
in there the majority of the time.
Although the score stood 25-0
against the Hillsboro team, it was
no indication of the game played.
The Plowboys took advantage of
many breaks to beat the Indians.
They inn fie one score on a fumble,
covered on the 2 yard line, and
another score on an intercepted
pass. Hillsboro has a fine team and
should give someone trouble be-
fore the season is over.

on the second play for a score.
Langford personally accounted
for the final score. He intercepted.
Bledsoe's flat zone pass on the In-
dians' 17-yard line and hurtled
through an open field to a touch-
down without so much as having
a hand laid on him. '
The sterling performances of the
huge Plowboy linemen spelled the
difference between victory and de-
feat for the Plowhands. If any
yardage was gained off of the Tar-
leton tackles, it was done when we
: weren't looking. Wayne Cure,
Seymour, flash, and Big John
Swaggerty of Brownwood, were as
immovable as the Rock of Gibral-
tar. Cure is rapidly becoming a a.
outstanding candidate for all-con-
ference tackle; he is big, fast, and
he hits hard and often.
Joe Hays, freshman from Brown-
wood, has established himself as
the best defensive guard on the
squad. He was in on at least fifty
per cent of the tackles, and along
with Cure, Hauk, and Campbell,
succeeded several times in drop-
ping the Indian ball carriers for
huge losses. Bundy Campbell back-
ed the line for Tarleton in a very
acceptable manner. Bundy was
crashing in, making tackles all
night. BiJl Hauk, Birddog Harris,
Rushing, Langford, and Olsen
were capable of handling anything
that was aimed at the wings.
The baekfield was sparkled by
Smitty Smith, Tid Watkins, Guy
Tankersley, Roy Kile, Melvin Gib-
son, Willard Woolverton, and Dub
Davis. Woolverton made his first
appearance in the 'last threo
games,, but he has lost'none of his
accuracy in tossing that pigskin.
Woolverton was punting "nicely
too, one kick traveling 60 yards
and another going about 40 yards
and out of bounds on the Indians'
five-yard line.
Daps was a pleasant surprise to
the followers of Tarleton. The boy
from Cleburne packs plenty- o'
power, and he certainly has' a
fighting heart.
Williams, Rea, Bennett, and
Witfield in the baekfield and Wall-
ing, Nelson, and Wheeles in the
line showed to the best advantage
for the Indians. Th$ 215-pound
Nelson showed ability in his
strong defence play for the In-
diana.

MILITARY
MENTION
(By Leo Hatton)
An interesting sight to the am-
bitious person was the "try-out"
of the sergeants for a commission.
Many of the lads showed surpris-
ing ability in their brief perform-
ances.
F Company is fortunate enough
this year to have for its acting
captain Charles E. Brown of San
Angelo. Brown was a sergeant in
B Company last year, having come,
to Tarleton without any previous
military training. Everyone 'will
agree that Brown's commendable
efforts, plus the hearty cooperation
of his company put the "excellent"
steramers on the , F Company
guidon this past six weeks.
John Hyatt, acting captain of
A Company declares he voices the
opinion of all A Company when
he says he is going to put F
Company back a notch this six
weeks by putting those streamers
back on the A Company guidon
where they rightfully belong. Hy-
att came to Tarleton last year
from Olden, and was acting cor-
poral most of last year. In the an-
nual "Fish" drill competition last
spring, he won first place, and was
presented with an engraved saber
by Major Jas. D. Bender, PMS&T.
B Company is the proud possess-
or of Sam Harvey as their acting
captain, Harvey, acting corporal
of last year, comes from Mt, Ver-
non without having, had previous
military training. Harvey takes
pride in remarking, "When I was
twelve years old, I joined the Boy
Scouts, and received some valuable
training in many lines from my
brief stay in that organization."
We are happy to say that Harvey
shows the results of his -excellent
previous training.
Acting colonel of the cadet corps
is that three-year-man, Don Ran-
kin, from Jacksboro. Rankin step-
ped from private year before last
to captain of Company B last year.
And this* year heads the military
staff as acting colonel.
Company A seems to have "blood
in their eyes!" They want that
banner back—and they might get
it. ' ,.

BROTHER OP EX^STUDENT
IJHES j FRIDAY NIGHT
Harold Green, the younger bro-
ther of an ex-student of JTAC,
Billy Green, passed away last Fri-
day night in Stepheyville Hospital
at 9 p. m, Harold was a freshman
in high school and was well liked
by everyone. He was 15 years of
age and a drummer in the high
school band in StephenviWe. Har-
old had been in the hospital eight
weeks and was in a very serious
condition during that time from
an appendicitis operation.
When the news of ■ his death
reached the football game Friday
night the band, playing for a high
school game, gave tribute to him
at the end of the game by playing
"Nearer My God To Thee."
The University of New Mexico
has a/ special lighting research

Don Rankin, Capt.
Famous Team,
Tempermental
iJJ-eing one of those temperamen-
tal people whose eyes fill with
tears , when he hears Tommy Dor-
sey "give", Don Rankin, Captain
of Tarleton's great basketball team
last year, offsets his sentimental-
ity with a violent temper.
Don was born October 21, 1918,
in Parker county, Texas. The early
shaping of his career was in
Weatherford Grammar School. He
continued his higher education in
the high school at Spfingtown,
where he won a medal for being
the best all-around boy. Here he
was also captain of the basketball
team for four years.
Attendants at the amateur pro-
gram at Tarleton recently can; well
understand how Don got his stage
ability. He declamed two years in
high school and sang in the high
school quartet. After Don grad-
uated, he weighed the matter of a
higher education very carefully
and decided to enter the sacred
portal? of John Tarleton Agricul-
tural College three years ago.
Made Good Record
Since Don has been at JTAC for
the past three years he has estab-
lished an excellent record and prov-
ed himself popular with the fac-
ulty members as well as the stu-
dent body. Besides being captain
of the basketball team two years,
he was captain of Co. B. last year.
His military ability has carried
him from a B.A.P. to acting, cadet
Colonel in three years. Don is also
a member of the Vikings Club and
sergeant-at-arms in the Fire-
Fighters Club. He has been a mem-
ber of the "T" association for two
years and participated in intra-
mural baseball'last year.
Don Rankin is now taking a
four-year business' administration
course and plans to finish it at
T. C. U. or A. & M. College. He
has several future ambitions and
one of them lives at De Leon, He
wants to continue his business ad-
ministration training and seek his
fortune as a business executive.
NOTICE!
J. B. Blanton will return to the
College Barber Shop Monday,
Oct 31. He wishes to see all
his friends and promises the same
service he gave last year.
