That is a useless use of ls * and useless use of backticks. You do not need ls to use *, that's the shell's job. You're only getting the list of files out of ls when you use * because you're cramming the list of files into ls in the first place.

Furthermore, you don't need to cram everything on one line. ; can be replaced by a new line for better readability in nearly all cases.

Code:
i=1

for FILE in "t_ "*
do
        echo mv "$FILE" t${i}.dat
        let i=i+1
done

Remove the echo once you've tested and are sure it does what you want.
