'LANS MADE TO ENTERTAIN THANKSGIVING VISITORS
PLOWBOY
Far be it from me to gripe
at out something because it sounds
as if I were trying to alibi. What
I am starting to say is that I think
wo got a raw deal last Friday
night in Weatherford. Coach Wis-
dom would be the last person on
earth to say anything if it weren't
true, and he told the officials af-
ter the game that they were either
unfair or they didn't know enough
football to officiate a game. That
really was a hard game to lose,
and I mean sure enough. Our team
gained three times as much yard-
age;, made three times as many
first downs, completed more pass-
"es, fumbled less, and ran more
plays. The Plowboys had such
things happen to them as having a
touchdown called back, two fif-
teen-yard penalties in the same
series of downs, repeated interfer-
ence with pass receivers, once for
a touchdown, and once a back
shoved Moore down and another
man caught a pass for a touch-
down, I suppose that all this
sounds like a whole lot of griping
—and that is just what it is. No-
body was to blame for the loss,
and the -only thing to do is give
them the best we have from now
on out.
Students, if it is at all possible,
get your parents to stay for the
game. Arlington is going to bring
a large delegation over, and we
should certainly feel funny if they
had more over here than we had.
Most of your parents that are here
will be glad to stay for the game,
Let's be out there 100 per cent.
What do you say?
Well, so long till next week.
—Honest John.
PLOWBOYS FOURTH IN
CONFERENCE BATING
With the loss to Weatherford,
Tarleton dropped into fourth place
in the Central Texas Conference.
N. T. A, C. and T. M. C. retailed
their first place standings by a
victory for each in the run of last
week's games, N. T. A. C. taking
Decatur with a 51-0 and T. M. C.
downing Ranger 12-0.
N. T. A. C.'s 510 victory over
Decatur throws a rather unpleas-
ant light on the Plowboys' Thanks-
giving tussle, remembering that
Tarleton beat Decatur only 21-7.
Conference Standings
Team Won Lost Pet.
N.T.A.C 2 0 1.000
T.M.C 1 0 1.000
Weatherford 2 1 .666
Tarleton 1 1 .300

Decatur 0 3 .000
BOYS MOBBED FOB, BUTTONS
Button! Button! Who's got the
button? It seems the whole camp-
us has gone childish and is play-
ing tilis game.
Girls, if you look: around you
should be able to find a button,
and if you're lucky, you may find
twi or three. Find these commis-
sioned officers who got promoted.
They should still have those old
buttons they used last six weeks.
As far as you are concerned, they
are just as good as the new ones.
But let me warn you, Irma Doyle
has already spoken for those two
diamonds—no buttons there any
more.
JENKTtrS WORKS OUT
Here is something very amus-
ing, indeed. Coach. Wisdom, was
in the Gym attending to some
business Thursday evening while
the football boys were supposed
to be working out. But when the
cat ia away, the mice will play-
Some little boys from here in
town were out there to watch the
big Plowboys; but it was just the
other way around. The big boys
were watching the kids play.
One of the kids had a little dog
with him that looked something
like Sergeant Buschmann's. Jen-
kins got too playful with the
hound; so the dog got mad. Jen-
kins had the best workout of the
season. The dog ran him a full
two laps around the field before
it was called off.
Coach Wisdom came out of the
Gym, and all were working as
though that was what they had
been doing all the time.

TARLETON PLOWBOYS
LOSETOWEATHERFORB
Last week Tarleton journeyed
to Weatherford to engage in a
conference game with the Weath-
erford Coyotes. The Coyotes re-
ceived and returned to the 40-yard
line and then kicked to our 3-yard
line on kick-off play. This is given
up to be very smart and clever
football. Weatherford wasted only
three minutes in scoring their
first touchdown, and converted.
Tarleton received and scored be-
fore the first quarter ended, but
due to a shower of penalties the
touchdown was called back, put-
ting: Tarleton back on about the
25-yard line. The first quarter
ended 7-0.
In the second quarter Weather-
ford again scored via the air with
a long pass going through the air
about 50 yards. The half ended
with the score Weatherford 14,
Tarleton 0.
The second half opened with
Weatherford receiving and failing
to gain they punted, Tarleton tak-
ing the ball on their own 20-yard
line, Tarleton exchanged a few
punts and soon scored with a pass
from Couser to Todd for about 35
yards, Tarleton failed to kick goal.
Weatherford received, both teams
playing toe-to-toe with Tarleton
deciding to pass. Weatherford in-
tercepted, running 60 yards for a
touchdown, failing to convert. The
third quarter ended with Weather-
ford 20, Tarleton 6.
The fourth quarter started off
with Tarleton running and pass-
ing at will, soon crossing the pay-
line and convertnig the score, Tar-
leton 13, Weatherford 20.
Weatherford then received and
the ball was interchanged, with
Weatherford opening again via
the air with a pass for about 45
yards and a touchdown, and con-
verting. Tarleton receiving with
about two minutes left tried to
score but failed. The game ended,
27-13.
Due to excessive penalties and
the loss of three touchdowns Tar-
leton had a bad night. Todd, Hoo-
ver, Taylor, and Rhodes turned in
the best performance for the home
team, with Gant, Flannery, and
Rhome showing plenty of flash in
their own back yard.
Eaves Home Nearly Completed
One of the interesting things
taking place near the campus is
the progressing construction of
Professor Eaves' new home. This
little house, located on the south-
east corner of Washington and
Mellhany, will be, when completed,
a six-room, English-style abode.
Mi. Mrs. Eaves have chosen
ij.fi iiKitet-ial of the house to be
i,. unck veneer.
