MOSER AND MAYNARD WIN
The Tarleton track team, paced
by the flashing feet of Fred Wol
eott, Snyder, parried off second
- place -honors in the Annual Fat

boys by 10 3-5 points to cop first
place. Woicott was high point man
for the Plowboys, winning nearly
one-third of the total. points made
by the Tarleton. squad. Displaying
a brilliant and unfaltering form,
Woicott broke the 120-yard high
hurdle record with the time of 15.5
seconds, and he also broke the 220-
yard low hurdle record with the
1 time of 25.1 seconds. He finished
second in the MO-yard dash and
was a member of the mile relay
team that came in second. Woicott
broke both hurdle records against a
strong wind which blew steadily in
his face, and made his performan-
ces stand out sharply.
- The other Plojvboys that carried
off first places are Ralph Moser,
who won the 440-yard dash with
the time of 52.8 seconds, and Curtis
, Maynard, who tied for first in the
high jump with a leap of 5 feet 7
inches.

ed of Finley, Woicott, Hamilton,

DRAMATIC ++
# DILLY-DALLY 8
"The Bohemian Girl," starring
Laurel and Hardy, the fun-team of
the screen, comes to the Majestic
Theatre Saturday night. It is a
travel picture from the land of
gypsies where the warm sunshine
and lovely weather makes the Bo-
hemian people one of romance, mu-
sic, frivolity, and love. The music
in "The Bohemian Girl" is from
Balfe's operatta, and the quaint
dances and queer rhythm is excep-
tional. Jackeline Wells, Mae Busch,
Darle Hood help Laurel and Hardy
make this picture a scream. It is
produced by Hal Roach under the
supervision of M-G-M.

compete for the few remaining
points in the meet. Whenever any
track meet is entered by the
plowboy squad, Menard can be
counted in for the first rating in

Until the track meet last Sat-

undefeated in the cinder path for
the past two seasons. When the

The Tarleton track, team still
has the best chances—practically
a clamp on the conference meet if
they do not lose any more first
class men by the indirect and
boot way—of all the entires, to
gain all the cups again this' year'.'
The . tennis play-off has left
"Lefty" Hughes, local racketeer,'
in first ranking tennis circles so
far. Randolph Scott takes second
place with Stanley Davis and Hil-
ary Moore disputing for third
birth.
Doubles would be well repres-
ented by the Davis, Wilkersori
due [ -however, Scott , and Moore
or some other combination may
pair off for two string honors";
Fast work is being done on the
unfinished tennis- plots. At the
present rate freshmen may be able
to play on them sometime next
year. Ho Hum. Well, in the mean-
time how about some tennis balls
to pong over the net.
The howling imbecile at IIar-
din-Simmous seems to crawl forth
to bask in noteriety again,. This
noteless blot on an otherwise pre-
sentable Brand staff shakes the
vacuum on the end of his neck
every so often and generates en-
ough intellect to decipher print
and attempt a futile r-o-b-u-t-t-a-l.
Oh that's all right, Mach, stop
wagging your knob;, your neck
won't' stand the train you know.
Gone but not forgotten:. Fred
Woicott who broke two records
and won two places among the
entries at the Fat Stock Show last
Saturday. A good athlete, a very
loyal sport, and a likeable fellow.

Tarleton was "Shorty" Menard, In
this high school county meet,
"Shorty" proved very lenient;

Still we won't argue if we have

Aside from sports the mumps
epidemic must be hither, thither,

Upon talking with a N.T.A.C.

TARLETON NETTERS
QEFEAT WEATHERFOBD
The Tarleton tennis team, taken-
Thursday to Weatherford by
Coach Fox, easily; defeated Wea--
therford Junior College, losing
but one of seven matches.
Hughes, Tarleton's ranking
player, went down before the
steady stroking of Poulter by the
•score, 6-3;; 6-1. Hughe's usually
consistent backhand was erratic,
and Poulter, who recently trium-
phed over the No. 1 player of
N.T.A.C,, was quick to capitalize
upon the. fact. However, the match
was exciting and closer than the
-.core indicates.
Tarleton swept through the re-
maining matches. After a shaky
start, Scott setled down to defeat
Ezell, 6-3; 6-3. .Davis had little
trouble in disposing of Graham,
6-2; 6-1.. Moore breezed through
Sandidge, 6-0; 6-0.
In doubles, Scott and Hughes
were at their best to defeat Poul-
ter and Ezell, 6-1; 6-2, This match
brought out the best tennis of the
afternoon. ^ Smashing overheads
and low, sharply angled volleys
of both teams brought repeated
"Ahs" from the . spectators. Al-
though ' the Weatherford netters
fought gamely and changed their
tactics several times in hopes of
turning the tide, there was no
stopping the on-rush of Hughes
and Scott who literally blasted
their opponents off the court.
Davis and Wilker^on, playing
No, 2 doubles, took things easy in
defeating Graham and Moore, '6-
1; 6-1. The Weatherford team was
simply no match for Davis and
Wilkerson, who won about as they
pleased.
Moore and Holcomb, playing a
No. 3 doubles match won from
Sancjidge and Walker,. 6-4; 6-2,
The Tarleton netters were never
in danger. . >
On April'8th, Weatherford Jun-
ior College, is to come to Tarlet-
on for a return engagement, Fol-
lowing that, the Plowboys will
play t. W, C. and Howard Payne.
SHANAFELT AND STRINGER
TO BE SQUAD ALTERNATES
Student Council Acts
The battle over the retention or
dismissal, of the College of the City
of New York's President Frederick
b, Robinson has bgen reopened
with the demand of the institution's
student council for the resignatiori
of the man they believe disqualified
for his position.
The cation of the student body
followed the recent report of a
special alumni investigating com-
mittee which asked for the dismis-
sal of Dr. Robinson.
"We do not believe that the pres-
ent faculty-student discord and
conflict can be eliminated or dimin-
ished so 'long as Dr. Robinson is
our president," the students report-
ed. "His .association with Hearts,
his bad taste, his reactionary ideas
and the general disrespect in which
he is held disqualify him from his
high post.".

Captain Virginia Westbrook, Nor-
ma Ratliff, Grace Cantwell, Mary
E, Jones, Edwins Sparks, Ann El-

ever since the girls have been firing
that she would be a good match for
any boy and that she deserves to
command this firing team, Virginia,
an Aggette and a member of the
Tejas Club, comes to Tarleton from
Cleburne to lead the te^m on to vie,.
tory.
Norma Ratliff, Sterling City, is a
member of the A. W. S. Council,
JAPS Club, TTS, and the dance
committee. Norma gave Virginia a
hard pressed race for the No. 1 po-.
sition, but Virginia beat her out in
the end by shooting a score-of 180
out of a possible 200.
Grace Cantwell, freshman from
Brady, comes along to cop No. 2
position. Grace is a member of the1-
S, 0- S. Club. .

ber of the Aggettes, Comanche

from Bryson, placed fith, thus feeing
the first alternate. She was not, far
ahead of Pauline Stringer of Alex-
ander, who was 7th and second al-
ternate. Alice May is a member of
the Owls Club.
Much credit should go to Major
Curtis Meeks for his excellent
training of this firing squad. Meeks
reports that matches will be h$Id
between this team and. the boys'
team as soon as possible. He also
hopes to get some competition from
other schools.

form in shooting in the past few
weeks. They all have an average
above 150 points out of a possible
200.
Young men of today consider
they are "broke" at a point where
their fathers would hava thought
themselves rich.
