Plowboys Drop Two Games to Fast Daniel Baker Quintet
THE HILLBILLIES
SHOW SPEED TO
WIN BOTH GAMES
PLOWBOY!
Do you realize that the Tarleton
basketball season is drawing to a
close?
After a season of successful
campaigning in the conference
Tarleton is still undefeated. They,
however, lost iU> number of .-non-
conference games, this being due
to the opposition being' in the na-
ture of senior colleges and such.
Coach Wisdom has announced
that on February 13 and 19 the
Plowboys will tangle with the Ran-
dolph Badgers on the home court,
while on February 22 and 23 the
Plowboys journey to the fair city
of Cisco for a brace of games.
Incidentally these are the last
two games to be played in the local
gym by the Plowboys, and Coach
Wisdom promises that his charges
are in for a tough buttle vvith the
Badgers, as they defeated the
strong A. C. C. quintet earlier in
the season.
MILLER STARS FOR BILLIES;
HUNTER AND DAVIS SHINE
FOR PLOWBOYS '
A correction, if you please—Mr.
Boyce "Honk" Irving states that a
liUmber of students have gotten
the idea that he is ineligible, but
we wish to correct this idea—
"Honk" is eligible for any compe-
tition in the school and is out only
due to an injury and is unable to
play. That's that.
Boy-O-Boy—If you think the
Plowboys didn't throw a scare into
those Hill Billies you are sadly
mistaken, for they certainly made
them open 'er wide and bear down
to win. They fought every inch
of the way and it almost netted
them a victory last Saturday night.
Let us say that the Hill Billies
sported one of the classiest pass-
ing games seen in these parts re-
cently; and also, they presented to
Tarleton fans some stars that are
very capable of handling themsel-
ves on any painted court. In view
of these handicaps, we don't think
the Plowboys were so humbled in
defeat for they displayed a great
fight and dogged offense that re-
fused to be beaten until the last
second had glided by.
In spite of the hard fight which
the purple and white showed on
February 4, Daniel Baker was suc-
cessful in defeating the Plowboys.
Starting- scoring from the very
first, their machine continued to
pile up a score. The Tarleton rep-
resentatives fought a hard fight
but were always out-distanced by
their opponents.. The first,half jaid-
ed with 29 to 17 in Daniel Baker's
favor.
Hunter was the high point man
in the first half for the Plowboys
with 13 points, while Miller was
the hgih point man of the game
with a total of 24 points. The sec-
ond half, in spite of Hunter's ef-
forts, was in Daniel Baker's favor.
Score for the first game:

To The Sophomore Class "f
Again about those lait two
games—How about making it, not
50 per cent but 100 per cent on
these two?? You knww "Nick"
gets stage fright when he gets cut
there before more than half a sec-
tion at a time—Let's all come out
and watch him sweat blood awhile
— (Nick is willing.) C'mon cut
and yell yer head off—anything
to help those Plowboys win.
If you don't think the Soplio are
backing the Plowboys—just count
'em—
We're for you Plowboys- -mass-
ocre 'em!
New students are still showing
up; we are glad to see the enrol-
lment' increasing.
Second Game
In the second game on February
9, which was played in the Tarle-
ton gymnasium, the opposing side
led by one point. Daniel Baker
again took the first score of the
game.
Davis and Hendrickson were the
star players for Tarleton with 8
points each. Miller was high point

Some one has compiled statistics on American education which +
indicate that out of one hundred children in the fifth grade only +
sixty-three finish the elementary schools. Only thirteen of this -f
hundred ever finish the high school, which correspondc to gradu- ■+■
ation from the sophomore clasS in Jbhn Tarleton College. Had +
this nivestigation taken the hundred children from the first +
grade instead of the fifth, the number finishing at the rank of a "+
sophomore would have been much less than thirteen. In fact, ■¥
it would have been only five. It is strange also that of the ■+•
thirteen in the fifth grade who finished the rank of the sopho- +
more only seven have finished the first year of college. This is ■
indicative of the elimination Which goes on among human beings. +
A report on my desk from Mr. Howell indicates that forty-five +
of the sophomores completed their work at the end of the first +
^semester just closed... I wish to congratulate ..those. who-attained , rh
this goal. A very few who had a chance to finish failed to finish. +
(The great number of you who are now sophomores are eligible to +
graduate from the sophomore class in the spring commencement. +
I am hoping that the elimination number will be very small and +
that all of you will attain the goal of your ambition. +
This is the. season-of reckoning in school organizations with +
reference to gains'and losses. Whether you were one of the sue- +
cessful forty-five, or of the others who are continuing with the +
sophomore class or whether you are one of those who failed or •+■
even quit, it is a time for reckoning." Every person should stop +
occassionally, review the efforts of the past, take account of the -f
losses and gains, and try to ascertain the causes of the results. +
If an ambitiou person fails, certainly he ought to find out the +
cause of his failure in order to avoid that loss in the future. Ih +
an ambitious persons succeeds, he likewise should know the +
cause of his success that he might take advantage of this cause >
of his success in his effort to succeed in the future. +
I am hoping that the next term may bo pleasant and profitable +
for your class. If there is anything I can do or the institution +
can do to add to1 your success and happiness, I want you to know +
that we all solicit your inquiries and requests.
Sincerely, -f
J. THOMAS DAVIS, Dean. +

History of the Sophomore Class
In September 1927, the Freshman Class which entered Tarle-
ton College was not'as large as some of the previous classes, but
it has increased very much in size in its second year. The Fresh-
man Class was organized with Miss Wickline and Mr. Bob
Dienst as faculty advisers; Nick Fletcher, president; Allie Mc-
Kenzic, vice president, and Virginia Pior, secretary. The Fresh
man year was a happy and profitable one.
As a class, the Sophomores of '28-'29 have increased to one
hundred and twenty in number. .Recovering' at an early date
from the green slimeness of "Fish," the class elected the fol-
lowing officers: Gilbert Braden, president; Lee Miller, vice
president; Rudinc Humberson, secretary; Jewel Lawson, J-Tac
reporter; and Miss Edwards and Mr. Dienst, faculty advisers.
The Sophomores have had a pleasant year so1 far and it is
their ambition to know as much as the seniors in two years'
time. Nay, even more.

DEAN DAVIS '
ENTERTAINS
S.jLCLASS
SUNDAY SCHOOL PUPILS OF
DEAN DAVIS REPORT GOOD
TIME AT PARTY
On Thursday evening, Febrpary
7, at seven o'clock, Dean and Mrs,
Davis entertained their Sunday
school classes with a candy mak-
ing in the basement of the First
Baptist Church. The evening was
spent in making candy and playing
games.
Messrs. Davis and Hunewell
proved to be excellent entertainers,
as well as candy makers for the
candy was a delightful success. Af-
ter the games were played and the
candy became hard, large platters
of fudge and divinity were passed
around to the guests Everyone
enjoyed this very much.
All those who were present will
be expected to be in Sunday school
every Sunday at 9 :45. Now stu-
dents, since Dean and Mrs. Davis
were so kind to entertain us, we
won't disappoint them. Be there
on time and bring some one with
you. You will never regret going,
as there is always an interesting
lesson awaiting you.
DON'T FOOL YOURSELF
Can you see me, students?
I am shaking hands vvltlf
myself as I begin this, just
to show you how I feel
about me. I now sing the
first and last stanzas of
"How I Love the Dean;"
then as a one-man pep
squad I eulogize the tiddle
winks team and promise
that they will bring bigger
and better victories.
Having gone through this
necessary ritual, may I tell
you how inspiring it is to
look into your faces? (Mur-
der has been committed
with less inspiration.) All
of which reminds me:
Why do students like
holidays?
Why do you like to -be
"short changed" in what a
teacher gives you to learn?
Do you know specifically
what you want from your
college training?
Do you prefer to seek for
a thing blind-folded?
. Do you know that life
pays you for being able to
"deliver the goods" and
seriously discounts sham?
Are you preparing for
-life?
Are you interested in
knowing what life is?
Is it worth while for you
to question new found val-
ues in life?
What would you do today
if you knew you were going
"Ho die tomorrow?
+ Are you doing the best
+ that you can? (Do not fool
+ yourself.)
+ Do you really know all
about yourself?
> Would any one of your
♦ acquaintances be surprised
■+- at what an analysis of
-f yourself might reveal?
+ Send the correct answers
•f to these questions to Uncle
-*r Oscar, of the puzzle dep.^irt-
+ ment, of this magazine, and
-f you will receive 25,000 cotes
towards the wonderful little
+ Shetland pony and cart
