nior captain and a junior, the entire
team is composed of sophomores.
Rice is conceded the best opportu
nity of beating the Aggies since their
last victory in 1923. The Owls real
ize this, and will come to Aggieland
prepared to give the best that is in
them.
As this game is played at home,
and the Aggies have a more exper
ienced team, the preference is given
to the home team. However, the
game will be a fight from start to
finish.
Possibly, the Owls have more out
standing conference material among
their sophomores than any other con
ference school. Seaman Squyres, Cle
burne quarterback, has done wonders
for the Owls with his beautiful inter
ference, hard tacking and ball carry
ing abilities. The Driscoll boys at
quarter and fullback have proved
themselves very able at ground gain
ing and passing. There is power in
the Owl line with Smokey Klaerner
and McCarble at ends. Both of these
men have shown up unusually well on
both offensive and defensive playing.
The A & M starting lineup has not
been announced, but the Owls prob
able line-up will be, McCarble, L. E.;
Allen, L. T.; Morgan, L. G.; Hander,
C.; Burk, R. G.; Conklin, R. T.; Klear-
ner, R. E.; V. Driscoll, Q. B.; Ham
mett, L. H.; Mueller, R. H.; and T.
Driscoll, F. B.
The game will start promptly at

Sports Bits—

according to “dope.” But wait and
see.
A victory over Rice will give us a
tie with them. An Owl victory will
probably put them in a tie for third
place. If Baylor loses, and we win—
the cellar honor will go the Bears.
The “prize of the week” goes to
Col. Nelson—for missing the last train
to Dallas Saturday morning.
With a victory over the Texas cross
country squad, the A & M harriers
rule supreme as favorite to cop their
fourth consecutive title. Texas has
decisive wins over Rice and S M U,
and a loss to the Aggies will give
A & M a clear field.
Jimmy Aston, although not in the
game very long, displayed his qualities
as a quarterback in a very capable
manner. Jimmy is rather inexperi
enced, as most sophomores are, but
with a little additional training,
should develop into one of the best.
Coach Bell and his assistants are
deserving of the highest of praise and
thanks for the good showing that the
team has made this year. The Aggies
haven’t the power that T C U, Centen
ary, and S M U possess in their teams,
but made up that difference in sheer
determination. When a team holds
powerful teams as those to such small
scores or hand them a defeat, much
credit is due the men that trained
them.
It is extremely difficult to keep up
spirit on a losing team and keep the
student body behind them, but the
team and corps have fought together—
and haven’t given the slightest sign
of discouragement.
The Mustang cross country team
defeated the T C U harriers by
a good margin last Saturday. This
looks as though we have the confer
ence sewed up.
CONFERENCE GAMES—

third and fourth quarters. A pass,
Koy to Harrison who ran for 53 yards
brought the first touchdown. Clewis
and Craig, second 'string backfield
men, brought the second tally with a
series of line plays starting from mid-
field. The gun stopped another pro
bable touchdown.
The Oklahoma Aggies completely
mined Arkansas’s homecoming day by
defeating them 26-0 at Fayetteville.
Baylor and Arkansas will tangle at
Fayetteville this Saturday, to practi
cally decide whether the Hogs finish
second in the conference or not. The
Texas—T C U game will hold the main
spotlight in the state as Texas makes
their bid for the conference champion
ship. This game will probably decide
the conference title.
The Southern Methodist eleven will
journey to Baltimore to engage the
Navy team in the conference’s only
intersectional game of the week.
As we see it, the Aggies should
beat Rice 13-7; T C U 16, Texas 13;
Baylor 13, Arkansas 6; and S M U
20, Navy 14.

Rice meet, seven Texas runners came
in before a Rice man, to give Texas
a perfect score. The S M U meet
gave them another win when five men
finished before a Mustang runner

Mustangs defeated T C U in the same
manner. Little is known of the
strength of the Baylor University
crew, but with the exception of Texas
and A & M, the remainder of the
conference is pitifully weak.
Undoubtedly, in Winders, Perkins,
Smith, McClendon, Marquez, Oberg-
felt, and Hahn, the Aggies have the
strongest cross country combination
ever presented to the Southwest con
ference, and unless strange things
happen they should keep the trophy
for another year at College Station.

STEPPING INTO A MODERN WORLD
It looms up large in their lives
The telephone has a big place in the daily lives
of most people today, but its place will be even
bigger tomorrow.
Its importance has been fostered by the work
of men in all phases of the telephone business
and no little part has been taken by those en
gaged in selling. They have helped to effect
an increase of more than three and a half mil
lion Bell telephones in the last five years. In
the same period they have been instrumental
in making the public realize more completely
the telephone’s usefulness. Result: an in
crease from 49,000,000 calls per day to
65,000,000.
For men with a leaning toward sales pro
motion, the opportunity is there!
