Tie For Top Spot
The Cardinals, Band arid Red
Sox worked their way into a three-
way tic; for the leadership in intra-
mural volleyball last week. The
faculty, which was undefeated in
ihe previously 'cancelled play-offs,
lost two games this week to fall
into a three-way tie for second
place with the Bums and Jackets.
Last week's matches were. a
maze of upsets and hard - fought
games. The Bums made the most
outstanding record of the week as
they won three games from the
Jackets, Rifles, and Cardinals and
moved from last place to a tie for
second place.
The Red Sox won two games
and moved from second place to a
lie for first. They > defeated the
Faculty and the 'Fort. The Band
won a match from the Vets to
move into a first place tie with the
Cardinals and Red Sox. The Jackets
won two and lost one during the
week. They dumped the Faculty
and beat the Vets while losing to
'<he Bums. The Faculty lost two
and won one. The setback was ad-
ministered by the Red Sox and the
second by the Jackets. They knock-
ed the Band off tKe undefeated
list which gave them a tie for sec-
ond place in standings.
The upset' of the week goes to
the Bums who stunned the Cardi-
nals . and removed them from the
undefeated list. The Faculty, Band,
Red Sox and Cardinals, who were
undefeated, ended this week in ties
for first and second place.

A new sound irritates the ears
of many students in the late af-
ternoons on the campus. This new
sound or sounds are composed of
a "clink," a "clank," and a "cling."
These "clinks" and "clanks"
come from the old tennis court
directly in front of the gym and
across the street. This is the place
where students are practicing for a
spring' intramural sport, horse
shoe pitching. ■ k
There are many students partici-
pating in this old spoi't.

PG/VGUXA
By Charles Dunn
Gabbing over the phone recently with Coach Zapalac, I learned
a very interesting thing. We, the Plowboys that is, still have a chance
to wind, up third in conference standing if we can overrun those hoop-
sters from Arlington tonight. This game tonight, aside, from an A&M
tournament, is the last basketball competition on the schedule,, the
last plot to be unfolded. What happens tonight will go in as final tab
on the Plowboy record and the result will go into the annals of Tarle-
ton basketball. If you haven't attended local games before, you can re-
pent tonight. Pack the stands in the gymnasium and show these
"NTAC'ers" you expect big things from your team.
My apoligies, incidentally, for giving the wrong date for this game
last week. It appears your bungling reporter didn't check the sc^cjulq,
for changes before bringing the news to you.
Watch this page for news in the near future describing the work
that has started on the ultra-modern track for Tarleton Yes, we want
to bring1 you news on the track very soon because this track will be an
important item in Tarleton athletics during the com ng seasoni, This
up-to-date cinder trail will draw many events in this direction which
you, the track fan, may w tness on home territory.
I was an avid radio listener to the Texas Golden Gloves fights
this year and wijs rooting for Virgil Little and John Willingham. Al-
though I could, I am not going to start making excuses for these two
fellows, for each one made a good show.ng in his own turn. Especially
impressive was Willing-ham's first bout at the Golden Gloves. • Up
against a hard opponent who had done some equal punching ■ during
the first round, Willingham staged a second round offense that would
have edged over anyone and scored a TKO when the fight was stopped.
Many favorable comments have gone around on his abdity in this fight
to quickly make the most of an advantage.
I am all for our fencing team and very proud of.it. It brings home
the bacon so often that it is getting to be a habit (a very pleasant
one.. I know you share my enthusiasm for the fencing team so keep,
your eyes peeled for fencing news on this page each week.
Then let people know how proud you are. When bragging of the local
swordsmen, however, don't forget to throw credit where credit is due.
The one man responsibe for Tarleton's superiority in fencing1 is George
Beakley, the highly proficient fencing master and Tarleton instructor.
