THE STEPHEN VILLE TRIBUNE. STEPHEN V1LLE. TEXAS
Tarleton Defeats A.C.C.
In Thanksgiving Game
Tarleton’s Purple and White
warriors cloned a successful sea-
son Thursday by defeating the A.
C. C. Wildcats 7 to a on Hays
Field. It was one of the best
games ever played in Stephenville.
Tarleton outfought and outplayed
th$ Wildcats and incidentally
spoiled their hopes for an unde-
feated season. They had won
from all the best teams in West
Texas and from the University of
Dallas.
The outstanding star of the
game was Captain Carlton. It
was his last game in a Tarleton
uniform and his best. Fighting,
bareheaded and determined, he
gained more than one hundred
yards thru the A. C. C. line on
straight line plunges, and gained
seventy-five yards on passes. His
backing up the line was wonder-
ful. He was a favorite with his
men, a hard worker, and a won-
derful football player. He never
used a headgear. Now that he
has played his last game for Tar-
leton his name takes its place be-
side those of such players as
Hudspeth, Adams, Montgomery,
Bassel and Camp. '
Six other men played their last !
game for the Purple and White, j
one in the backfield and five1 in
the line. Hampton, w ho played |
the game at left half, came up
from last year’s squad and was j
the man Coach Pena relied on to 1
carry the ball on end runs. Al- j

football, certainly in our section
of the state. He has not met his
peer this year, and though several
coaches have sent three men for
him, they failed to keep him out
of the plays. He will be back
next year,
Tarleton’s victory over the
Wildcats just added another to
the long list over the Abilene
school, but was especially sweet,
os they won the last game played
on Hays Field 18 to 0. Also they
were doped to win by several
points, and, the victory was more
impressive as they had won from
the best teams in West Texas. The
A. C. C. band and about forty stu-
dents accompanied their team to
Stephenville. The college paper
gave a good account of the game
and offered no alibies:

TARLETON COLLEGE
RECEIVES SAD MESSAGE
On November 29, news came to
the faculty and the student body
of Tarleton that Miss Wurtz-
baugh’s mother had passed away.
The love and sympathy of her fel-
low-students and the students go
out to Miss Wurtzbaugh in her
sorrow. All feel very tenderly
for her who has always been most
compassionate toward others.

STRAIGHTEN THAT
BENT BACK
No need to suffer from that
tired, dead ache in your back, that
lameness, those distressing uri-
nary disorders. Stephenville peo-
ple have found how to get relief.
Follow this Stephenville resident’s
example.
J. A. Sherrill, Washington, St.,
says: “I am glad to endorse
Doan’s Kidney Pills for they are
the only remedy that ever help-
ed me. A member of my family
had used Doan’s Kidney Pills off
and on and had excellent results,
so when my back was hurting
just across my kidneys, I started
taking Doan’s. They gave me
satisfactory results and they are
indeed a remedy of merit.”
FOUR YEARS LATER, Mr.
Sherrill said: "I gladly confirm
my former recommendation for
Doan’s Kidney Pills. As the
years go by, my faith in Doan’s
grows stronger.”

Tarleton’s line, which came to
itself in the S. M. U. game and
has been improving in every game

Wildcats, something no other team
has been able to do successfully

Grubbs game and ha# been alter-
nating with Witcher, He has play-
ed several quarters at guard. He
played roving center on the de-
fense and made many tackles. On
the offense his great strength en-
abled him to carry back the op-
posing line and many gains were
made with center rushes. He was
a clean, hard, fighter and one of
the most popular men on the
squad.
Another man who played a won-
derful game was Sam Fitzhugh,
at right tackle. When Tarleton
started the march down the field
for a touchdown early in the sec-
ond half, practically all the plays
were ran over the right side of
the line. The big tackle never
failed to have a hole in the line.
This is Sam’s first year in Tarle-
ton, but he has played every quar-
ter.
Slats Bell, the lean tackle, had
probably the hardest job of any
man in the line. That was to stop
Vaughn, the two hundred fifteen
pound tackle. Vaughn made a few
tackles and the gains made over
Bell were small. Slats will be
back next year.
Frank Johnson played an excel-
lent game at right half. Early in
the second half Johnson made five
yards thru the line before he was
tackled. Several seconds after he
was down, Red Williams, fullback
for A. C. C., fell on him and broke
three ribs, but he stayed in the
game. Although he was unable
to carry the ball, he played a good
defensive game. He broke up
many passes, intercepted one, and
in the-'fhird quarter, when Stev-
ens got loose on an end run and
seemed sure for a touchdown,
Johnson stopped him two yards
,/rom the goal line. He is'a good
passer, tho this is his first yea'f
to have that responsibility. He
has been handicapped with in-
juries all the year, but has played
good ball nevertheless. He prom-
ises to be one of the mainstays in
the backfield next year.
When the problem of finding a
quarterback came up, Al Parry is
the man Coach Pena selected to
direct the team. Although he
showed lack of experience, he im-
proved with every game. His
steady ramming of the ltaak spots
in the line Thursday, showed that
he knew football. He is also
good line plunger and gained
many yards against A. C. G.

ton’s place in the third quarter,
made several nice gains and play-
ed a good defensive game. He'
blocked several passes and inter-
cepted one. He will be back next

If You Want a Chance-
You Must Take a!!
, . < h
Chance, bu
ble Where It Pays;!
to Win
When you take a chance, there is no rule against using'your
judgment—no reason why you should not investigate and satis-
fy yourself that you will get a chance when /ou pay your money
for the privilege. Your first consideration should be THE MEN
BEHIND THE CHANCE YOU TAKE. Are they men who will
play fair? How do they stand in their own community—among
people who have known them? Taking a chance is a legitimate
and enterprising move.
*
Charles M. Schwab, head of the Bethlehem Stel Company, in an
address at Saint Louis, made the remarks below on the subject
of taking chances. Read it—it is high authority.
‘‘I am not one of those who advise boys to save pennies
on the theory that dollars will take care Of themselves.
Like Ben Franklin, I believe somewhat in boldness, and
that the return is always in proportion to the risk. I am
optimistic enough to advise the taking of reasonable
risks in life. Suppose you do fail once, twice or even
six times, in the end you will be bound to succeed.”
A VERY WISE MAN SAID THIS: "It is better to examine -»
twelve things you don’t want than miss one that you do want.”
GAMBLE WHERE IT PAYS TO WIN
I am not trying to promote an oil company. I am not offering
millions of shares for sale, all I am asking you is to take a
worthwhile chance in the only well to my knowledge to be drill-
ed in your own county, and only threp miles from your county
seat. I am not asking you to pay any more than your share of
the actual cost of the drilling.
I am not asking you to give me any money or will I take one
cent from the money you are paying.
I am offering one-half interest in the well and in the one hun-
dred acres on which this well is located, which well we are
about to begin drilling on the George B. Robert^ land, and on
which our derrick is erected and most all of the tools including
boiler and engine are on the ground for $15,000. All of this
money is to be deposited with the First State Bank of Stephen-
ville, with the understanding that same is to be paid to the
drilling contractors, J. C. Dorris, in the following manner:
$4000.00 when the well is down 1000 feet.
. $4'000.00 when the well is down 1500 feet.
$4000.00 when the well is down 2000 feet.
$8000.00 when the well is completed.
With this $15000.00. we will form a club to be known; as the
Stephenville Oil Club. This $15,000 will be divided into 150
interest at $100 per interest. You can buy as many interest as
you wish. As soon as sufficient interest has been subscribed
for, we will call a meeting, at which you may select your own
“officers and trustees to further the interest of the club.
Remember there are only one hundred and fifty interest on the |
murket. Others are coming in. Will you wait until its too late? j
I)o you know what it will mean to vou and this community if we
strike a gushfer. MAIL YOUR CHECK NOW.
