Fabulous Fifties Reveal Pleasant
Expectations fir Sports in Sillies
Just sitting here and gazing into
our crystal ball to see what the
future holds for Tarleton sports
enthusiasts in ' 1960, we ■ couldn't
avoid letting our mind wander
back through the years to soe how
Tarleton fared in sports throug-
on t the '50 t>.
1950 saw a winning football
team dedicate Memorial Stadium.
The Plowboys not only won the
first game to be played in tho
sh'dium, but set the all-time high
for total points scored in a home
game by a Tarleton team. They
defeated Cisco Jr. College 64-6,
and ended the season with a 7-3
record which placed them second
in the newly organized Pioneer
Athltic Conference.
Fencing was a sport with wide,
student appeal as Tarleton had
two teams, a varsity squad and
another composed of freshmen.
'. 1051 produced two Pioneer Ath-
letic Conference champions as
both basket!,all and f captured
first place honors, Still holding
wide interest was the fencing!
team which captured twelve in-
dividual titles during the year and
was extended an invitation to at-
tend the National N. C. A. A.
championship matches hehld in
Illinois. Coach Sandy Sanford in
his first year as head coach
guided the Plowboys- to a third
pl'aco finish in conference and
tied arch-rival North Texas Agri-
cultural College, now known m
Arlington State College, in the
seasons, firaie.
1952. Tarleton'.? football team
continued its winning ways as it
marched through the season to
finish with a 6-3 record. Under
the guiding hand of Coach Frazier
the Tarleton thin-clads captured
first in the conference track meet.
The fencing team aws defeated
only once during the year and that
was by Texas Tech which boasted
one of the stronger fencing teams
in the nation at the time.
1953 presented Tarleton fans
with one Pioneer Conference
champion as once more the track
team proved superior to other
entries in theh conference meet.
Baseball made its first appearence
on the Tarleton sport's calendar,

ORDER EARLY FOR
THE MILITARY BALL
and the football team ended its
third seson under Sanfords hand
with a 3-5 record for Sandy's first
losing season a3 head coach here
at T. 3. C.
1954. Tke sport sene was bright-
ened by a rebounding football
team which captured the Pioneer
Conference championship with a
5-3-1 record. Coach Frazier's
tracksters captured their third
straight conference championship
to give Tarleton two champion-
ships for the year.
1965 track and tennis furnished
Tarleton supporters with two
inoro champions, both of which
swept by foes in conference com-
petition. Football slipped to a 4-5
record, while basketball rose to
finish, the season, with a 11-7
mark, and lights were installed on
tho baseball diamond.
1956 saw the track team lose
its first conference championship
in fivo years, but spirits rose to
new heights as Tarleton's football
team charged to one of the better
seasons in tho history of the
school. They finished the season
with a 7-1-1 record and averaged
26 points per game in tho pro-
cess, of ending the season as tri-
champions. Five players • wei'e
picked for all-conference honors,
two for honorable mention. Ali-
Americans and one on the first
team All-American for junior col-
leges. Baseball finished the sea-
son with a 9-5 record and the ten-
nis team shai-ed the conferenco
title.
1957 marked a decline in foot-
ball as the season record showed
two wins against seven losses.
However Bobby Walls was picked,
on the Jr. College All-American
first team at the .conclusion of
tho season. Basketball and track
each finished second in eonfei>-
ence play, the baseball team com-
pleted another successful season
with a 9-4 mark, the Tri-State
Golf Tournament was held at the
Tejas Country Club for tho first
times, and the tennis team once
again captured a share of the
conference crown under the di-
rection of Dr. C. M. Flory.
1958, Track and tennis each
captured conference crowns and
tho golf team ended conference
play in second place Dannie
Campbell took over the helm as
head basketball coach. Roger Me-
Queary was picked on the ail- con-
ference basketball team, the base-
ball team finished its season with
a respectable 8-7 mark and the
Arlington scries was ended as
Tarleton went dow nin defeat be-
fore the Rebel forces to end a sea-
son which saw only, one victory
posted in the ten games played. ■
1959 saw the football team once
again win only one game. Tarle-
tons basketball team went into the.
Cameron game last night with a
12-1,4 season mark and in third
place in conference standings to
bring us up to date;
- Back -to the present we see that
our crystal' ball has depleted its
mystical power to foretell the fu-
ture and one can only git back and
wait to see what 1960 holds in
store for Tarleton's sports enthus-
iasts.
VA Says Aid for
Children of Civil
War Vets Unlikely
If you are the child of a Con-
federate veteran of war, and you
are under 18 years of age, and
have become permanently incapable
of self-support prior to reaching
18, you then and only then are
eligible for a VA pension as the
child of a Confederate veteran.
This information was released
to the J-Tae recently by Mr. J. P,
Mima, manager of the VA Re-
gional Office in Waco.
The statement was the result
of "false rumors that children of
Confederate veterans are eligible
for pensions from the Veterans
Administration," Minis said. The
rumors, he added, "were causing
both Congressmen and VA head-
aches."
The VA had' pointed out in a
previous1 release that the great ma- 1
jorlty of children of both Union
and Confederate War Veterans are
not eligible fojp, pension payments.
But it apparently, was not enough
to still the hopes of many aged
persons.
The Administration again em-
phasized that generally pension^
are paid to children of deceased
veterans who are under 18 yeara
of age. Only when a child becomes
permanently incapable of self sup-
port through ■ mental or physical
disability prior to age 18 is the
pension payment allowed after age
18, Mima said.
"Thus far, VA has found only
20 children of Confederate veter-
ans who meet this provision of
permanent incapability prior to
age 18 although many more ap- -
plications than that have been re-',
ceived,' the manager told the J
Tac,
"Tho fact that a child became
permanently incapable of self sup-
port after he reached age 18 does
not qualify- him for pension pay-
ment. Such permanent incapability
for self support must have started
prior to age 18, and continued
since.
"So I was rummaging through the stuffed animals and sweat shirts
in the Bookstore, and what do you think I found? Books!"—■
