4—THE J-TAC
Tuesday; February 21, 1950
By Charles Dunn
A must for every sports fan on the old campus' is the game Mon-
day night with "NTAC", Yes, if, you are able to move away from your
wheelchair at all, this is, one game yon musn't miss. The old feud will
be on again and the Tarleton basketballers will be, battling 'a blustery
bunch of Blue Riders. The Plowboys and Blue Eiders are very close
to each other in conference rating, and, although the Plowboys may be
slightly ahead, I have been told that several of thjsir scores have been
nearly identical. , ' "
Their recent victory over Paris has enabled the Plowboys .to get a
firm footing after having' met five straight defeats,.' It could very easily
indicate a turn in. the tide for the Tarleton team. At the low ebb of
her play, after the last game with Tyler, Tarleton showed a .333 aver-
age. Win:', in the remaining' - games could make this average much
more pleasing' and could earn Tarleton a good place .in the conference
standing. ' ; .
A strong last-half drive enabled
the Tarleton Pdowboys to gain a
40-41 victory over the Paris Drag-
ons Saturday night on the Plow-
boys' home ground as the two
teams met for their first season
battle.
The game was undecided until
the lattei' part of the last half. At
this time a slight Paris lead was
destroyed by Dacus and the score-
board showed a 39-39 tie. Tarleton's
Lackey had the correct combina-
tion, for in the remaining time he
made four buckets to the one which
was made for Paris.
During the first half, Tarleton
owned a slight lead with Dacus,
Yancy and Cavazos on the scoring
end. The score at half-time was
22-21.
Dacus was high point man of
the game with 15 points.

In Fayetteville, Arkansas, there is
always a friendly gathering of
University of Arkansas students at
the Student Union Building. And,
as in college campus haunts every-
where, ice-cold Cotfa^Cola helps
make these get-to-gethers something
to remember. As a refreshing pause
from the study grind, or on a Satur*.
day-night date—Coke belongs.
Ask for ,it either way,.., both

VOLLEYBALL
Going to Fort Worth recently to see the fabulous Harlem Globe-
trotters in action, I was very happy and surprised to see so many
familiar faces and uniforms. It made yours truly and several other
people fully aware that these Tarleton students have an all-round
interest in sports. v
Incidentally, the Globetrotter game was one of the most impres-
sive these old eyes have ever seen.
Plowboys Defeat
Paris Dragons
This is a typical scene" of the activities of the girls' physical education classes. Volleyball is
only one of the many sports, which include golf, tennis, fencing, field hockey, badminton,
and basketball, taught the girls by their instructor, Miss Laura Fellman.

THREE GAMES
ON ROAD TRIP
Three games are on the slate for
the Plowboys within the next week.
The Plowboys will be in Paris
tonight for a return match with
the Paris Dragons, they will play
the Arlington State Blue Riders
in Arlington Friday, and will be
host to the Blue Riders Monday.
The Paris Dragojis, rated high
in the conference, are expected to
be tough customers although they
lost once to the Plowboys last
week. The Dragons, when playing
here, were believed to be in a one
day slump. They are expected to
be in good form tonight.
Little can be predicted in re-
gards to the coming- two games
with Arlington. The Blue Riders
liave run up a similar record to
th^at of the Powboys, but confer-
ence rating alone cannot indicate
the outcome of those games. Both
teams, when facing each other,
play inspired games.

Rillwas an all-round athlete. He chose
football as his favorite sport, made the
varsity teams at Pomona Junior College
and also at the University of Oregon.

The 1st Observation Squadron, Fort
Riley, Kansas was Lieutenant Reynolds'
first assignment. While there, he met the
future Mrs. Reynolds. They married a
year later and now have two fine sons.
A Theta Chi, Bill enjoyed campus social
life. Found that it eased the pressure of
rugged athletics and his heavy study
schedule in Personnel Management.
The Squadron moved to Panama, then
to the Pacific. Bill advanced from pilot
to operations officer to squadron com-
mander. He came home a Major and
qualified for a Regular Commission.
Upon graduation, Bill chose a future in
the Air Force. He "flew" his first Link
trainer as an Aviation Cadet in 1940. By
March, 1941, he had won his pilot wings.
Recently commended for peacetime work
—organizing and improvingrinstruction
techniques—Major Reynolds, a "Pilot-
Professor", looks forward to a long and
gainful career in the U. S. Air Force.
If you are single, between the ages of 20 and 26V2,
with at least two years of college, consider the many
career opportunities as a pilot or navigator in the
U. S. Air Force. Procurement Teams are visiting many
colleges and universities to explain these career
opportunities. Watch for them. You may alio get full
