4—THE J-TAC
Tuesday, January 31, 1950
By Charles Dunn
Take my word for it.—The Schreiner game here Saturday, will be
worth seeing. Not only will it be interesting, but it is the duty of every
Plowboy fan to be there and back the basketball "team, a bunch of
fellows who have made a fine showing this season. A victory Saturday
will very easily spell smooth sailing for the Tarletoh . Cagers later
on as well as prove that the Plowboys are ready to handle .the Lamar
Cardinals. Be at the game this week-end and back our hard: fighting
basketball team in victory or otherwise.
Nine-five points is a lot for one man to score isn't it? Harold Ball
has done it and is still going, doing a fine job on defensive as well
as offensive all the while. B^ll shows a great amount of endurance
in his guard position and usually is able to play throughout a whole
basketball leaving the court on a few brief moments to gain his breath.
This year marks Ball's second year at Tarleton and his second year to
letter.
The tumbling team made a hit as it appeared for the first time
at a basketball game recently. This exhibition, like a gopd present,
was unexpected but fully appreciated, a fact which the spectators
showed to be true with applause of approval. Everyone enjoyed the vi-
carious thrills as members of the tumbling team made diving forward
rolls over other members, as they did group acrobatics, and 'as different
members of the talented team did specialized stunts. It is quite poss-
ible that the hearty approval given the tumbling team on its first ap-
pearance will bring it back soon for an encore.
It is a matter of speculation now as to whether or not the cinder
track will be completely finished in time for its initial usage-—the
SWJC meet scheduled for May 13. As you know, the contract has al-
ready been presented for work on the track and everything depends
on the weather to furnish working conditions. The new track will also
be used for a district meet sometime later.
Yes, those two grude games will be here before long. We just simply
must win them. What am I-speaking of? You know—those two games
with Arlington State College scheduled for February ,24 and February
28. The first one will be there and the other one will-be here. Those
gaems won't turn out like the box scores indicate they should—they
will be spirited contests and will be undecided up until the last mo-
ments of play. In present statistics our school is favored, having won
two conference games and lost one while Arlington has., lost three con-
ference games. : ■
Coach Willie Zapalac indicates there is a strong possibility that dur-
ing the coming semester Tarleton will pick up four promising grid men.
Due to the fact that a strong element of uncertainty is linked with this
news at the present time, Coach Willie Zapalac does not wish to dis-
close their names. If everything pans out O.K., we on the sports staff
hope to be able to give you the complete dope within the next few
issues of the J-Tac.
Do you dislike that ruling about no smoking in the gym ? Don't think
that it is just some silly rule that is made for your discomfort. The
gym is a wood building in the same manner as the Agriculture Building,
Both buildings are very susceptible to fire, a fact which -was very re-
cently proved in the Ag Building. What if our gym were to burn down ?'
There are no funds to build another; there is no other place where
we could have basketball games, where we could be host to other
school basketball teams.
Tarleton athletics have received their share of good weather. This
has enabled intramural sports'tp c^pijjpye: intramural footbal hasn't
Stopped, tennis tournaments have been played off. Now it looks as
though a little cold weather is just around the corner and sports will
have to move indoors.

class are shown doing calisthenics,
one of their class activities.
Miss Laura Fellman, head of
the Tarleton girls' P. E. depart-
ment, instructs this class which
is open to junior and senior girls.
The course is offered again this
semester.
Some of the other activities of
the class are volley ball, badmin-
ton, field hockey. By doing calis-
thenics ' and running Japs around
the gym the girls keep their phy-
sical condition up to par.

receive credit in hours, but they
receive no grade points.
TSC TO ENGAGE
SCHREINER BOYS
ON SATURDAY
The Tarleton . Plowboys will be
cage hosts to the Schreiner Insti-
tute Mountaineers in the Tarleton
gym Saturday evening at 7:45.
This will bt} the second time this
season these two teams have met
each other. The Plowboys journey-
ed to Kerrville January 10 and won
over,the Mountaineers with a score
of 43-39. High point man' in this
game was Tarleton's Pence Dacus.
Dacus injured his ankle there but
has recovered and will be ready to
meet Schreiner for the second
time. Douglas and Riley were high
point men on the Schreiner team.
The Plowboys and the Mount-
aineers will both have their orig-
inal strength in their coming 'con-
test and its quite possible that
Schreiner will introduce mid-term
recruits from high schools, Evi-
dence of the Mountaineer. strength
is Schreiner's recent 42-40 victory
over the Lamar Cardinals.
Badminton to Be
Played in Classes
Badminton singles will be played
off for the boys starting February
13 in the physical education
classes. Winners of each class will
be pitted against each other in the
finals which are to be played in
the afternoons from 5 until 6.
The boys have been laying bad-
minton in the last few p.e. classes
and the competition is expected to
be rugged.
NOTICE!
Students who are new at
Tarleton this semester should
secure their copy of the J-Tac at
the general delivery window of
the Tarleton Post Office, if they
do not have a post office box.

BALL LEADS
HOOP SCORERS
Harold Ball is high scorer on the
Tarleton basketball thus far ac-
cording to a computation made
from the official box scores of all
the games this season. Ball, a sec-
ond year letterman from McKin-
ney,' plays right guard on the
Plowboys squad, a position from
which he often claims field goal
.honors. Ball has played in every
game this season scoring a total of
95 points.
Pence Dacus is next to the top
in point scoring with a total of 66
points. Dacus, a smooth playing
forward from Brady, is a first year
man in Tarleton. He sprained his
ankle in the game with Schreiner.
Several weeks ago but was able'
to play and maintain his high scor-
ing average after a lay up of a
little more than a week. Dacus
holds the honor of having made the
most free shots this year for the
Plowboys, making 16 of them.
James Yancy and M. C." Jones
are next in the line of high scorers.
Yancy made 59 points and Jones
made 57 points.
