the Steers are expected to come con-

reascnable to suppose that they will
not be unmindful of their seventy
five percent loss to the Aggies in
their four games last season. Such
unexpected happenings are regular

pitchers in the conference. Only
once this year in the three confer-
| ence games he has pitched has he
! wavered. In one of the games with
Southern Methodist University he
walked three men in a single inning
and put himself in a hole but that
was his best opportunity to show
his strength for he steadied and
struckout three men playing the
whole inning alone and pulling out
of his difficulty without assistance.
Rogers has lost only one of his three
games. That was the first with T.
C. U. but it was a well pitched game
at least the first seven innings.

mers have two (ther men that can
stay in the box and pitch steadily
without becoming frustrated but
whether or not they can hold down
the hits sufficiently is a problem to
be solved. A win for the two com-
bined against Rice is the best recom-
mendation fcr the hope and that can-
not be said to be very strong. Gill
is still unable to pitch and it is like-
| ly that he will not be in the box this
