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.
