Eyes of Southwest Football Fan$
Turned Toward Meeting of Aggies
And Horned Toads This Saturday
Once again in the Southwest Conference there will flare
anew next Saturday a blaze of football nvairy that has held
may $ince 1898 when Theodore Roosevelt was down in old
San Antonio getting cowboys for his Rough Rider reginyent,
and which has continued with only one four-year lapse until
the present time.
The rivalry between Texas Christian University and
Texas A. and M. dates from the time that the Fort Worth
.nstitution was known as Add Rann College.
The game between the two teams, played Saturday on
Kyle Field, will be the Outstanding game of the Southwest
Conference for the weeJLJThis game has become 4 center of *
attraction in recent yeaf^ because the Aggie team has not
been able to do more than tie the Horned Frogs since 1924.
Twice since then the Aggies have bven Southwestern football
champions, in 1925 and 1927, yet they were defeated 3-0 the ^
first time and were able to get only a scoreless draw the
second.

Decreased Jlegistration Fees
Is Largest Saving Over
Previous Years.
That the experiaes or the men
who enrolled in the ^college are
cheaper this year than last was
revealed by a pre''.minary survey
conducted last week. The survey
covered only the fees that each
student is required to pay and the
equipment that he must kuy. \ No
attempt was made to include the
incidentals which are purchased
from time tq time as the amount
spent for them varies and is a mat
er of discretion on the part of
the individual.
The largest saving was found to
lie in the reduced registration

of $125.00 was charged each term
