is little doubt as to who has won • n in other conference games later

the title.
Looking at the records we see
'' that Arkansas has won four of the
five conference games that school
has played and among these we
ase decisive defeats of both the
other leading contesting teams for
the title. The important fact in
considering these victories is that
the ineligible player who has caus-
Arkansas’ right to the title to be
questioned had very little if any-jj
thing to do with the victorie^sCor-
«d on either of these teams.
As it happens there is no defi
nite regulation on the particular
issue of the irregularity and there
is no doubt that the authorities of
the Razorbacks knew nothing of
the players’ records except as they
had been presented to them.
The authorities will meet Dec
ember 9 to decide this question.

MATTY BELL
Coach Matty Bell will take his
Texas Aggies to their last battle
under his command tomorrow.
Bell, a former Centre College,
Danville, Ky. star, came to Texas
A and M from T C U in 1929, aft
er having been head coach for the
Frogs since 1923. He previously
had been coach at Haskell Insti
tute in 1920 and 1921, and at Car-
roll College, Waukesha, Wis. in
L922. While attending the Centre
College, Coach Bell lettered for
four years in both basketball and
football and captained each team
for one year.
As Bell goes into his last game.
Matty Bell will have the memory
of the tribute paid him by the stu
dent body of A and M to cherish
long after the discourtesy of the
Athletic Council has been forgot
ten, because tomorrow the Aggie
Cadet Corps will dedicate their an
nual Thanksgiving Day football
game to him.
Probably no greater expression
in the history of A and M for an
individual will compare to the
sentiment shown by the students
for their likable coach. Banners,
streamers, lighted signs in win
dows and on top of the dormitor
ies all express the personal feel- *
ing of each member the stu
dent body.
Evidence of this may be had by
the observer as he walks down "
