Sports Sidelines
BY KAYFORD RUSSELL
,1 Our Plowboys have lost a game. In dropping the Kilgore game
J' 33-7, the Plowfcoys still showed us one thing: that they won't
L give up. They were playing a team vastly superior in reserves.
!,i This point did not begin to. tell until the second half when the
i Plowboys Were beginning to tire.. During the first half the Plow-
| boys seemed to have the edge, but the superior man power of
'A Kilgore overpowered them in the second half. This is certainly
I nothing to be down-hearted about,, as Kilgore is rated as the
| best team which we have to contend with in the pre-season rat-
ij ings. T^his is a setback, of course, but it does not put Tarleton
| put. of .the conference race.
I Things are'looking up in the Southwest Conference over the
| week-end. In tfcd Texas Aggies' win 49-7 over N. Y. U., the Farr
,f. mers dearly showed that they are certainly going to be in the
conference race. Derace Mo3er and Jake Webster were .the stand-
®| quts in ttie' yictojry, Moser scored twice, once on an 89 yard rup
I following a pass intrception and once on an end sweep from the
f N._ Yv U. G yard marker. The Uniyersity of Texas scored an al-
| most incre'djble 40-7 defeat over the powerful Oklahoma Soon-
{• ers nuwhat was supposed to be a close game, The Longhorns
scored with'their .first, second, and'third teams, showing that
| tKey are certainly the team to beat in the Southwest. Cowboy
I Jack Grain seemed up to form in scoring two touchdowns, mak-
\ nig one 55 yard run and kicking four extra points. He also did
| some of t|(e, konghorn kicking and passing. Preston Johnson, 8,
5; M.1 U. fullback, gave the California fans a glimpse of some red-
| hot football in leading the Ponies to their 34-0 win over the
College of the Pacific, Johnson scored two touchdowns adu kick-
ed" two extra points. Jack Wilson led the Baylor Bears in their
f! 20*7 win over Arkansas. Wilson was the st^r of the game on both
gi .defense and-offense, scoring two of the three Bruin counters.
/\ T C. U, won over Indiana 20-14. ....
- The big game of the coming week in the Southwest is the
?j A. & M.-M. TVC. U. contest. This corner looks for a close score,
>-withA.'& M; taking.the decision. Rise should defeat Tulane LQ-9.
4 In turning through some various sports pages, we came across
some' nfo^e "ex-PloWjboy stars. Ralph (Gabby) .Hamil and Carl
*\ were' two of these. Hamil and Rusk are playing bacMeld
|i for Allen Academy. Hamil was a last years' all-conference back
for Terletqn, who failed to survive the battle of books, Another
ex-Tarletonite whose name we came across was Harvey Crit-
, :j tenden who played for Tarleton in former years. He was listed
as starting fullback for the Texag Military College. These boy's
' showing up well at other schools speaks well for Tarleton.
With the Kilgore, game behind us we can now look forward
to the;Brady Special and the N. T .A>,C. game. Whether or not
we win'another game up'to the N. T. A. C. encounter, we will
haye had a successful season if we can win that one.
^ }Ve must remember that the true teat of whether we have the
Tarleton; spirit or not comes not when we are winning games
but when we are losing them. It is easy to'support a winning
J team, but to support our boys now that .they have lost a game
I will shpw the" true stUff we're made of. Let's all be out Thurs-
day night and show these boys we're behind them win, lose,
$ or "draw. ** ' ' '

The Tarleton Plowboys' chan-
ces for a championship eleven
slipped a notch or so last Friday
night. The 33-7 set-back rendered
by the Kilgore Rangers will hurt
but wot ruin the Plowboy chance
at a Conference crown. Opening
up with a fast attack, the Plow-
hoys countered in the first five
minutes of play. Using fullback
Mills Stricklen on the tossing end
for the first time this season, the
Plowboys completed a pass from
^tricklen to Sherill from the 35
to the 20. From this point Sher-
ill raced over fo^ the score. Strick-
Ien's placekick was good and the
score'was 7-0. This score was set
up when Captain Mathews broke
through the Ranger line and jbloek-
ed Flowers' punt on the Kilgore
43 yard line. Tackle "Chick?* Sch-
midt, who had started the game;
was removed after the opening min-
utes of play because of an eye in-
jury, He was replaced by Arnold,
the big boy from Nocona, who
turned in his finest game to date.
After the first quarter the Ran*
gers had almost complete control
of the offense. The Rangers had a
very versatile attack well balanc-
ed with passes and runs. From
the Ranger tailback position Flow-
ers was directing the Ranger at-
tack. He attended to the passing
chores and most of the punting.
In the second quarter the Rangers
scored on, a pass fjtom Flowers to
Green good for about forty yards
and the score. Another; Plowboy,
Wade Petsick, received a. b^ck in-
jury and was removed from the
game, late in the second quarter.
Just before the half Stanley- Gid-
eon ,broke .through the 3a.iger line
on a brilliant bit of defensivs play
to intercept a pass just as it left
Flowers' hand and ran 61 yards
for a touchdown, only to have it
called bapk because of an off-side
by Tarleton. The half ended with
the score 7-7. From the start of
the second half until the final whis-
tle the game was the Hangers',
They, scored twice in the third
jrter and twice in the fourth
t'djbpng the final total to 33-7.
Only ope touchdown was made
through the Tarleton liwe. This was
in the third period when. Cosper
pushed :over from the one. 4.11 the
other Kilgore scores came on pass-
es -ind laterals. The Pnal three
KJ&lYe scores were ir.sde by Cur-
tis, "Utley, and McKriigiit Kilgore
is'undefeated this season to the
putent. The Plowboys -nv still
decidedly in the coherence race
however. In the game against De-
catur this week the Plowboys
f*nu improve their standing con-
siderably, If the Plowbcys take
tiit; Baptists, they will ft Co one
of their hardest teats in the Sch-
veinpr Mountaineers nt Brady. Eet's

Lavoice Scudday, former Plow-
boy basketeer who is now at the
University of Texas, has those
draft board blues. Scudday had to
lgaye school last Monday for his
home in Forsan to take his phy-
sical examination. This means that
an invitation from Uncle Sam is
a distinct possibility. Scudday is
hoping that his call will not come
until after!the current basketball
season. Joining him in this hope
are alj followers of Longhorn
basketball. v
The "loss of Scudday would be a
severe *blow to Longhorn hopes.
Coach Jack Gray is having to re-
build the Longhorn cage machine
as he lost many lettermen, among
them, his'five regulars of last sea-
son, through graduation, Because
of this Coach Gray is depending
heavily on newcomers to bolster
the cage strength of the Long-
horns* Scudday is rated as one . of
the best of these. He went from
John Tarleton to Texas U. While
at Tarleton, Scudday showed him-
self to be one of the best cagers
ever to perform for W. J. Wisdom
during his time as coach afc Tar-
leton. When "he went to Texas,
Scudday transferred too many
hours to be eligible last year. Hp
looked very good in scrimmage
against the Varsity, howeverj and
it is expected that if Uncle Sam
dpesn't hurry, Scudday will go
great guns as a Longhorn perform-
er;

Mr. Cecil Davis, national de-
fense instructor, is teaching 13
students at the present time. The
students are studying auto mech-
anics and are becoming more fa-
miliar with the late model cars.
The boys are also taught lathe
work, electrietl engineering, and
other things which one, needs to
know in order to make a good auto
mechanic. Mr, Davis is now substi-
tuting for Mr. Howard Dalton, as-
sociate professor of agricultural
engineering while he is in a Dal-
las hospital undergoing medical
treatment.

The ^Eagle Scout Alumni will
meet Wednesday at (5:30 p. m. in
the Agriculture Building for the
puurpose of organizing and elect-
ing ^officers for this year.'
Offices- to be filled are as fol-
lows: president, vice-president, sec-
retary-treasurer;- reporter, and
parliamentarian. The adviser is Mr.
Roy B. Mefferd, professor of ag-
ricultural education. A program
committee of three members is to
be elected to serve for each sem-
ester,
The purposes of the Eagle Scout
organization are to be' of service
to the student body and faculty,
to the youth and Scout organiza-
tions of the communities repre-
sented, to the members of the
alumni, and to the nation as par-
ticipating- Citizens and prospec-
tive leaders.
In order to be a member, one
must be an Eagle Scout and a
student in Tarleton and must be
living up to the expectations of
an Eagle Scout.
Dean J1. Thomas Davis was elect-
ed the first honorary member on
October 25, 1940. Before one c&i\
became an honorary member, he
must meet with dertain require-
ments given in the Constitution
and By-Laws of the Eagle Scout
Alumni. These are as follows; (1)
One must have been elected un-
animously by the membership of
the Alumni; (2) one must attend
all meetings when possible; (3)'
one .must co-operate with the or-
ganization when asked to do so;
and (4) one must be associated
with or directly interested in scout
work.
Carl Arnold, Floydada; William
Bradley, Mineral Wells; Ben Cowl-
ing, Hamilton; and Bill Harper,
San Angelo, all of whom were
charter members last year, are
attending Tarleton, again' this
year.
On to Decatur will be the watch-
word for all Plowboy fans for this
week. Decatur will be the scene of
conflict this weelc as the Tarleton
Plowboys tangle with the Decatur
Baptists.
Thus ffir in the season Decatur
has lost two games, and tied one,
heing defeated by N* T, A. C. at
the tune of a J9-0 score, and com-
ing out on the bottom end of a 13-7
wallop by Lamar Junior College oi
Beaumont* The, Baptists tied the
San Angelo Rams 6-6. The Plow-
boy fans will recall the scores of
the Plowhoy-Ram game of 14-0 fa-
voring the Plowboys which should
give the Tarle^onites the, edge in
the approaching conflict. However,
two big factors must be considered
before we make, any predictions—
the Southall brothers. Morris is
approaching the pink after three
games in which he sparked both
the Baptist's defense and offense.
His brother plays tackle and makes
life miserable in general for oppos-
ing linesmen , who disagree with
him on whigh way the ball should
be going. " Stephenville fans will
find one of' their own boys in the
starting line-up for Decatur, Ru-
dolph Caudle., a- member of the
mighty Yellow Jacket team of
1940. Rudolph is' weighing in at
about 212 p0und3 and is holding
down vthe-tackle slot admirably. He
and the Southall brothers are men
to watch.
WitK Coleman out and in juries
frequen]t, the Plowboys demonstra-
ted what their reserves could do.
Robert (Blubber) Arnold, • Wade
Petsick, Billy Ruby; Robert Adcox,
and George Kavburas showed up
exceptionally well in the line with
Paul^Ghristian," Jimmy- Graham,
Gene Smith, and Fred Cox all
showing up well in the backfield.
Tarleton is rich in reserves with
the squadmen able to take over
when the varsity leaves off.
Well, folks, that?s the dope on
the coming game. - We pick the
Plowboys for a decisive victory,
but the outcome will have yet to be
seen. Let's all go arjd see what the
.outcome will be; th>e team will be
playing in hostile' territory and
will need the support of all of us;
so let's go and give,it to them. By
the way, now is the time for all
good men to'come to the aid of the
Brady Special. Tickets will prob-
ably be on sale today; so on to
