2 THE BATTALION "True merit is like a river; the deeper It is, the less noise it makes.” There is nothing sensational about Chester fields; good tobaccos, blended and cross-blended, the standard Chesterfield method, to taste just right. But—haven’t you noticed howsmokers are changing to Chesterfield, for that very reason — TASTE above everything riNE TURKISH and DOMESTIC tobaccos, not only BLENDED but CROSS-BLENDED FIRST CONFERENCE (Continued from Page 1) the completion of the first unit of the new concrete stadium, and the 1929 tilt will be held just as the stadium is being completed. “Sully’’ lias announced that there will be seating accommodations for 21,000 fans is assured as the East stands would be put into use for the first time next Saturday. The North end of the Stadium will not be ready for the Razorback tilt as the finish ing touches are just being put on it, but it is not expected that this sec tion will be needed. When it is com pleted, the new stadium will seat more than 33,000 people and there will be room for temporary seats to take care of the overflow crowds when needed. Dedication of this new plant will be made Turkey Day when the Texas Longhorns invade Kyle Field for their annual grid classic. “We are not out of the race yet,” said Coach Bell in commenting on the Aggies’ chances for copping the conference rag “and what we have to do now is to scrap the remainder of the season. It has been some time since a team which was neither de feated or tied won the conference title.” The Aggies will go into the fray minus the services of McFadden, scrappy end from Abilene, and Wal ter Ewell, both of whom were injured in last weeks game. M]cFadden and Ewell are both expected to be out of the lineup for some time, the former with a broken hand which he injured in the second play of Satur day’s game and the latter with an injured shoulder and collar bone. With these two exceptions, however, the Aggies suffered no material dam age in the Fort Worth encounter and the team will be in excellent shape for the Porker tilt. Despite their two losses in as many conference starts, the Porker team with which Coaches Thomsen and Bassett will invade Aggieland is not rated the underdog of the contest. In holding both Baylor and Texas in check for more than three pei - - iods, the Hogs displayed a powerful eleven which any team in the con ference has cause to fear. A passing attack, with which they led the Bay lor Bears during a large part of the game, is expected to be the Porkers chief offensive weapon against the Aggies.
