The Agg |ies are credited with one
conference^ win by virtue of their
tie games With Baylor and S. M U.
and rate jbst andei the Feathered
Tribe both in full season and in
conference! games.
Previous ((antes
. In previous 1 gam» between th^
Aggies and the Owls the question
has not befn who w 11 win, but how
had the Afgiu* will beat the Owls.
Since the season o: 1930 the tide
ha# chang|d awtra -in the favor of
Ride, and as the Armistice Day
tussle dratts sear, the question
seems to bt*--can thh thin, crippled
forward wall-of the Aggies stop
the powerful offence of the Rice
In a last minute spurt. Captain
Lane Blakeney of the Unhreraity
of Texas passed Hector Fuentes of
the Aggies to give the Texas Har
riers a victory over Texas A and M
last Saturday, by the dose score of
27-28. As a result of this win the
Steers are favorites irt the confer
ence meet which will be held in
Austin. November 19. This was the
first meet for the Aggies and the
third for the longhorns. Texas pre
viously defeated the Rice Owls and
the S.M.U. Mustangs by decisive
hediraa.i
Texas placed five out of the first
eight men in this meet. Following
Blakenvy and Fuentes, came Foy
and Koy Cook and Smith, of the
Aggies, au«i Blitch, Cox. and Cohen

in any of their games to date. The
only loss Rice has suffered this
season has been at the hands of
the Texas Longhorns. Rice beat the
Tigers of Louisiana State, while
the best that T. C. U. could do a-
gaiast the Bengals was to get a
3-all tie.
Aggies Fail Ta Score
In the last four games,the Far
mers have failed to scdre. Only
one touchdow n has been scored by
conference teams on the weakened
Aggies by running plays, however
T. C. U. scoring a touchdown with
power-plays and made their other
10 points with a passing attack
and a field goal. Centenary, a team
that scored two touchdowns against
both the Longhorns and the Mus
tangs, was barely able to score
against .the Aggies.
OwFs Offense
The Owls will probably match
their oiled offense of Jake McCaul
ey and Bill Wallace against the
kicking toe of Muggins Fowler.
The backfield of the Texas Ag
gie football team suffered another
set-back Saturday when Pete Hew
itt, halfback from Groeabeck, re
ceived an injury that will confine
him to the bench at least for the
Rice games this Friday.

In the line two contenders for
all-conference pivot honors. Willis
Nolan of the Aggies and Otis Har
ris of the Owls will probably face
each other in Friday's game. Al
though Nolan has played consist
ently for the last two years, it was
not until this season that he show
ed the aggressiveness that has
market! him a serious contender
for a ims it ion on the mythical all-
conference eleven. Harris last year
was given honorable mention as
center.
Line Honors
Charlie Cummings, who has been
sharing the line honors with Nolan,
has al$o received all-conference
mention at tackle although he has

Possibly few of the students, es
pecially underclassmen at A and M
College realize how many South
west Conference Champion teams
the Aggies have had. Records sh#w
^ however, that the Farmers have
won more football championships
' than any other team in the Soigh

five championships while Te^m.
Baylor and S M U. tie for second
place with three titles each. Texas
Christian University has won (he
title but once, while the University
of Arkansas and Rice Institute

Since 1917 the Aggies have Mon
the conference title every alternat
ing year through the year 1927
with the exception of the fall of
1923 when the Mustangs won it ^>r
the first time.
The Southwest Conference Was
organised in 1915, inaugurating die
'‘golden age” of Aggie football al
though the Baylor Bears won the
flag that year, and the next yegr,
1918, there was no championship,
in 1917. though, the Aggies woo
the conference football champion

The year 1919 found fhe Aggies
with another strong team, and a-,

untied and undefeated, and this sea

er team. They amassed a total of
285 points against their opponents,
and beat the Homed Frogs of T.
